Bathing Beauty Page #4

I'm not in love with you.

Now, now, you get out of here.

Go on.

Go ahead, open the door

for your lover.

I'll go out of your life

through the window...

...into the night.

Oh, get lost. Go on.

- Good evening, Willis.

- Good evening, my dear.

What...? What kept you so long?

Oh, I was just cleaning out my room.

Oh, come, come, come, Duke.

I know we're happy to see Miss Brooks

but we must behave like a gentleman.

Sit.

Sit. That's a good boy.

Willis, come sit here next to me.

l... I missed you

this summer, my dear.

Lake Tillamook wasn't the same

without you.

Well, I missed you too, Willis.

I wish I'd gone to Lake Tillamook

instead of California.

Really, Caroline.

That's the nicest thing

you've ever said to me.

Oh, Willis, stop teasing.

You know how I feel about you.

Why, Caroline.

Darling, I didn't know.

Duke hasn't been himself ever since

that Elliott person registered here.

- Perhaps I'd better investigate.

- Don't bother, dear.

He probably just smells a rat.

Don't you mean a mouse?

No, I mean a rat.

A large rat.

Whatever you say, my dear.

If you don't mind,

I'd like to go to the movies.

There's a double feature

in the village tonight.

If we hurry, we can still make it.

Oh, very well, my dear.

But I do hope

the pictures are educational.

- You get the car, I'll meet you outside.

- All right.

Oh, and suppose we leave Duke here

to keep an eye on the rat?

An excellent suggestion.

Duke, I don't want you to budge

from this spot...

...until Miss Brooks and I

return from the cinema.

Do you understand?

That's a good boy.

Oh, that's the way we say good night.

If you are not in your room by 9:00,

I will be forced to have you expelled.

Rule 110.

At the sound of the gong,

the time will be 8:55.

Bong.

Good night.

Lassie, go home.

- Oh, I'm in the wrong room.

- You certainly are.

- You ought to be in a cell.

- How are you?

You're carrying this

girl business too far.

Oh, this. I'm dressed like a dame

to escape a Dane.

- What?

- Who told you I was here?

Harry James.

Now, listen, schoolboy.

I'll give you 10 days

to finish my score...

...or I'll raise a scandal,

it'll blast you out.

- George...

- And the dean and Caroline with you.

- Oh, you wouldn't.

- Oh, wouldn't I?

I'd do anything for my water pageant.

Schubert's the only guy who got away

with an unfinished symphony.

Here.

Get busy.

It's no use, George.

Ever since the day I lost Caroline...

...why, I haven't been able

to write a line.

I've just been trying

to figure out a way...

...to kind of get her back.

If I could get my hands on that woman,

I'd choke the truth out of her.

Somebody put her up to that.

And I'll find out who. And when I do...

Hey, George.

How come you showed up so quick

in California?

- Where were you while I was...?

- Steve, it's me, your best friend.

You don't think

that after all these years...

- My dear fellow...

- No, it couldn't be. I'm sorry.

- You'll have to forgive me. I'm not myself.

- Steve, listen.

I'm interested in your happiness.

I want you to stay here in this school

until you win back your little bride.

I've tried, but it isn't easy.

The professors giving demerits,

Caroline giving dirty looks...

...everybody gives homework.

- Don't worry about it.

I'll help you.

You may not know it

but I was expelled from Oxford.

Really?

You can help me

with a little homework.

- There's three maps. Wait a minute.

- All right.

Four pages of history...

...five pages of geometry...

...six pages of chemistry...

...ten pages of botany...

...and a thesis on the love life

of a plover.

- The what?

- I don't know.

Look, do that for me and get it back

in the morning. Will you, George?

Steve, it looks as if

I'm working your way through college.

Yeah. Good night, George.

Hello?

Yes, I placed a long-distance call

to Xavier Cugat.

Put him on.

Hello. Hello, Steve, how are you?

Cugie? No, sorry, he's on stage

playing that Venezuela number you like.

Want to listen?

Say, Cugie, Steve Elliott's on the phone.

Hello. Hello, Steve.

Hello, Cugie?

Say, your number sounded wonderful.

Have you heard

from that crazy woman?

I grieve to tell you

we have heard nothing but silence...

...since the day of that incident.

She has vanished into hot air.

I know. I know. I know.

I sympathize with you.

I know your loss was great.

I too sustained a great loss.

When the seorita left,

she took my last pair of maracas.

Who cares about maracas?

She took my last pair of nylons.

- Maracas.

- Nylons.

- Nylons, I said.

- All right, maracas.

Fine.

Cugie's lost his maracas,

Lina's lost her nylons...

...and I've lost my Caroline.

"Geometry, 90.

Chemistry, 95.

History, 98."

Oh, well. My... This is awful.

There seems little hope of getting rid

of Mr. Elliott scholastically.

How do we stand on demerits?

Professor Evans?

Oh, well, 10 demerits for sleeping

through botany.

- Miss Phillips?

- Ten for defacing his map in geography.

- Professor Hendricks?

- Ten demerits for tardiness.

Twenty-five demerits for...

- Go on, my dear.

- For insubordination.

I see.

Anyone else?

Well, that's only 55. A long way

from the hundred we need to expel him.

You all realize that each hour

that young man remains here...

...our situation becomes

more precarious.

There must be some way

of stepping up his demerits.

Legitimately, of course.

Dean Clinton, you forget.

Tomorrow the young man starts with me

in eurhythmics.

Oh, yes...

...eurhythmics.

That was very,

very nice girls, very nice.

Now, the next thing

we shall do will be...

Well, come in, Mr. Elliott.

No, I don't think I'd better.

Will you please come in?

We have no time to play the

hide-and-the-seek, Mr. Elliott. Come in.

Well, well, well, look who's here.

Mr. Apollo.

Stomach in.

Chest out.

Shoulders back.

Head up.

Girls, line up, please.

One, and two, and three, and four,

and five, and six, and seven, and...

Oh, no, no, no, no.

What's the matter?

That was an accident.

My leg won't stretch.

It's all right this way,

but this is new to me.

- It won't stretch, huh?

- No, ma'am.

I shall stretch it for you.

Put your arm around there.

Straight. Give me your leg.

Give me your leg.

Up high, high, high, high...

Up. up.

Get up there. Get off of there.

Stomach in. Chest out.

Shoulders back. Head up.

To the bar.

Put your foot on the rail.

Up here. Up here.

You have some pretty tall friends.

Get up there.

Hurry up. Up. Up.

Get off the floor.

Get off the floor.

Stomach in. Chest out.

Shoulders back. Head up.

Girls, line up for the walking exercise.

Is that a way to walk?

Walking isn't up there.

It's here.

Well, I've been using

the wrong end for years.

Where is your carriage?

The secret of good carriage is pride.

Each day a woman

must say to herself:

"I have a secret.

I am beautiful.

I am beloved."

And she must carry herself

as if she believes it.

Watch.

I have a secret.

I am beautiful.
