Beyond the Sea Page #5

were the most talked about couple

on the planet.

After the birth of Dodd Mitchell

Cassotto on December 16th,

they both stayed in Los Angeles

to make movies:

Sandra, in another Tammy picture,

and Bobby in a supporting role

in Captain Newman, MD.

- Shh!

- Quiet.

I'm sorry.

OK. Quiet on the set!

And rolling.

Speed.

And... action, Bobby.

OK, Big Jim, you go on,

you get this two-bit corn-feeder off

the ground, huh?

Hey, Buck! Buck?

We ought to get a couple

of broads when we get home.

Ones with real builds on them that

won't quit.

I'm talking about some real balloon

smugglers.

Jesus, what was that?

We got hit.

Buck, Buck, we're going down.

Oh, Jesus, we're gonna crash!

I gotta get out, I gotta use the

escape hatch.

Oh, come on! Oh, no!

He doesn't have a head. Oh, no!

God, please, can't you fix him

the way he was before?

- Oh, God, no.

- And cut. Fantastic.

Bobby, you were wonderful.

Oh, my baby.

Bobby. Thanks, that was incredible.

- It's the best part I've ever had.

- Told you it was a great script.

But how can you go wrong with

Gregory Peck and Tony Curtis?

Don't forget Angie. Thanks, Angie.

See you soon.

- So, what's next?

- Boom-Boom, what's next?

We open in Tahoe for three nights on

the 20th,

then we got Philly, Chicago and Miami

Beach.

- Thank you. Good luck.

- Thank you so much.

- What's he talking about?

- The tour, baby.

Honey, I'm not done filming my movie

yet.

OK, you can join me when you're done.

- I'm not bringing the baby on the road.

- Leave him with the nanny.

I don't want Dodd to be raised by the

nanny.

He's not gonna be raised by the nanny.

What'll I do on the road?

Who am I gonna sing to if you're not there?

Back to my set.

- Don't be mad.

- I'm not mad.

- You look mad.

- I'm not mad.

The sooner I finish filming,

the sooner I can join you.

Did you know your toupee was on

a little crooked?

- What?

- Yeah.

Are you kidding? How many times

have I told you to watch my hair?

Great timing, Steve.

It'd be nice to have him home for a while.

It's a wonder Dodd even knows

what he looks like.

Great having them both at the same

studio, isn't it?

So this is your suite, Bobby and Mrs

Darin.

Bar, fire pit. The bathroom's over

there.

- And the living room's this way, sir.

- Thank you.

- I'll just put your luggage in.

- Great, thank you.

Look at this, baby.

Gonna be a hot night in Vegas.

- Anything else I can do for you?

- No, that's all. Thank you.

- Would you like to have some ice?

- No, I'm great. There you go.

- Where are you from?

- I'm from Germany.

That's a terrific city. Thank you.

- I'm a big fan, Mr Darin.

- That's very kind. Good night.

Sandush...

Don't you think you're drinking

a little bit too much lately?

No, actually I don't think

I've had enough to drink.

OK, what's the problem?

I just want us to be together.

- We are together, baby, look.

- I mean some kind of normal schedule.

We have a baby,

and if I don't see you up on stage,

- I don't see you at all.

- Well, you're here, too.

Recording or performing or filming

or making appearances.

- Why can't we just stay home?

- Honey, performing is my life.

- Well, what about me?

- You're here, aren't you?

- Yeah, with all of them.

- They're a part of my life.

Just like Mary is a part of

your life and now a part of ours.

They are our family. All of them, like

it or not.

I can'tjust stop working to tour with

you.

- Yes, you can.

- No, I can't.

- You can.

- No. I'm an actress.

Making movies is what I do.

Kissing Troy Donahue's not acting.

- Oh, yeah? Then you try it.

- I'd rather not.

Hey, what a face.

- You should lock the door.

- Why?

- Before someone comes in.

- Nobody's coming in.

Yesterday, Charlie walked in on me

taking a shower.

You're kidding? What did he want?

He asked me if I wanted

a corned beef sandwich.

- Do you?

- Ooh, honey.

It's OK. It'sjust us.

Bobby! Whoa, sorry.

But I was right about the war picture.

Get your speech ready cos after the tour,

you're going to the Oscars, pal.

- You just got nominated.

- Hallelujah! Yes! Yes!

Oh, Christ.

And the nominees are,

Nick Adams in Twilight Of Honour.

Bobby Darin in Captain Newman, MD.

Melvyn Douglas in Hud.

- Hugh Griffith in Tom Jones.

- Hello!

And John Huston in The Cardinal.

And the winner is...

Melvyn Douglas? Melvyn Douglas?

My blood is up there on the screen

and they give it to him!

Unzip me, please.

"You don't care about people, Hud.

You don't give a damn about 'em."

I heard he was dying or something.

- It's a sympathy vote.

- He's dying? I'm the one dying!

Way before he was dying, I was dying.

Where's my sympathy?

You're doing fine feeling sorry for

yourself all alone.

"Stick your finger up my ass, Alma,

and wiggle it, just like the doctor does."

It's an honour just to be nominated.

I've never been nominated.

All your Hollywood friends

probably voted against me.

- I voted for you, Bobby.

- It's BD. What time's the car?

All right, see you then.

All the slaps and smiles,

and I'm a goddamn joke out there.

Not as big of a joke as you are right

now.

Warren Beatty is there with Leslie

Caron, nominated for Best Actress,

and I'm there with Gidget.

Leslie Caron is not box office!

- Those people don't care about that.

- It's all they give a sh*t about.

Only people from the Bronx

actually care about the Oscars.

Melvyn Douglas is married to a

congresswoman, I'm married to Tammy.

It took Melvyn Douglas 40 years

to get a Supporting Actor's face.

You should be happy you did it in just

two.

You know what?

Maybe I'll just go back out on tour.

Oh, that'sjust great, Bobby.

That'sjust f***ing great!

Like usual, you leave Dodd and me

behind.

When you're on the boards, it's real.

The audience is right there, you can

feel 'em.

- Maybe movie audiences are too sober for you.

- It's reality, the nightclubs are reality.

It's not like the frickin' movies that

are all fake!

I just have one thing to say to you,

Mr Reality, Mr King of Reality...

your toupee's on crooked!

You're always trying to undermine me

every time I go on stage like that!

Telling me I've got a pimple on my nose.

I'm goddamn sick of it!

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like?

No, you don't. Oh, no, you don't!

You don't leave me! I leave you!

The cars and the clothes

and the hair and the premiere.

It's bullshit. I'm sick of all of it.

I'm telling you I'm out of here.

You stay here cos you gotta take care

of Dodd.

The nanny's here. He's fine!

You had a chance to be happy

and you messed it up!

Well, you...

You come... You...

You come back here!

You think it's gonna be easy

to find somebody who'll love you?

A big-nosed, self-centred, mean, nasty,

balding, little shithead with a bad heart?

My baby.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe you're right about all

these people being around us all the time.

Maybe it should just be us.

That's good, Moose, cos I left it
