Bringing Up Baby Page #5

What I want to suggest is...

I don't want any more suggestions

from you. My fiance is waiting for me.

In order to get married,

I have to get to New York.

I want you to be married,

I think you should be married.

I think every man should be.

But I don't think any girl will marry you...

- Iooking the way you do.

- Where's the phone?

- In there, but look at yourself.

- What's the matter with me?

I am dirty, aren't I?

You see? What I want to suggest is...

The only way I'll follow

another of your suggestions...

is if you hold a bright object

in front of my eyes and twirl it.

I understand. I simply wanted to suggest...

I don't want any suggestions.

I just want to clean up.

Where is there a shower?

That's what I was going to suggest,

a shower.

- Hannah.

- Yes, Miss Susan?

Send these into town

and have them cleaned and pressed.

- Why? I can do them here.

- Don't argue with me, Hannah.

Into town.

Have them cleaned and pressed.

It'll take a lot longer.

There's no hurry, no hurry at all.

- Hurry up, David.

- I am hurrying.

- David.

- What?

- What's in the box?

- What did you say?

That's the intercostal clavicle

of a brontosaurus.

Really?

It's just an old bone.

Yes, it's just an old bone.

Put it down gently and go away.

All right.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Hand me my clothes, will you?

They aren't here. They're being pressed.

- What?

- The gardener's taken them into town.

For what? Stop him. I can't wait.

I must leave immediately.

You can't leave without clothes.

I know that. Where are you going?

I'm going to take a shower.

Susan! Don't leave me here like this!

Don't be impatient, David.

We'll talk it over after I've finished.

Everything's going to be all right.

"Everything's going to be all right."

Certainly, everything's going

to be all right.

Everything's going to be...

I'm losing my mind, that's all.

Roaming around Connecticut

without any clothes on.

I don't believe it. How can all these things

happen to just one person?

Susan, where are you?

Will you come out and help me find some

clothes or must I come in and get you?

You wouldn't.

Yes, I would!

Maybe I wouldn't.

- Susan, where's the gardener's room?

- Why?

- Because he must have some clothes.

- What? I can't hear you.

- You can hear what you want to hear!

- What did you say?

I just said... Never mind.

I'll find the place myself.

The gardener must have clothes.

Clothes are clothes.

The gardener's in town.

He couldn't have taken all his clothes

with him!

Yes, he could.

Of all the conceited,

spoiled little scatterbrains.

My goodness, the man who gets...

The man who gets you

is gonna have a lifetime of misery!

"Everything's going to be all right."

What do you want?

Who are you?

- Who are you?

- What do you want?

Who are you?

I don't know. I'm not quite myself today.

You look perfectly idiotic in those clothes.

These aren't my clothes.

Where are your clothes?

I've lost my clothes.

But why are you wearing these clothes?

Because I just went gay all of a sudden!

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Now, young man. Stop this nonsense.

What are you doing?

I'm sitting in the middle of 42nd Street

waiting for a bus.

Go away!

- Who is this man?

- I don't know.

- Stop it, George! What's he doing here?

- I don't know.

Susan, come back here. Stop it, George!

Aunt Elizabeth, it's you!

I've never been so thrilled in my life.

This is amazing to see you here,

and George dear.

- What made you come out here?

- Quiet, George!

Now, stop gushing

and tell me, who is this man?

- Where'd you get him?

- He's a friend of Mark's.

- What's he doing here?

- Susan brought me.

I don't doubt it, but why?

I got a letter from Mark.

He said David was an old friend of his.

He'd been working very hard in town...

and was on the point

of having a nervous breakdown.

I'm a nut from Brazil.

He's very excitable.

We let him do whatever he wants.

- Where are his clothes?

- Susan took them.

- What's he doing in that thing?

- Mark said he should be allowed...

to wear a negligee. No telling what'll

happen if he's not allowed to.

Does he want to wear those clothes?

No, I don't want to wear this thing.

I just want to get married!

Susan, I forbid it!

I absolutely put my foot down. The idea!

- Quiet!

- Please listen to me!

- Quiet!

- Don't talk so much.

Perhaps you could help me.

Perhaps you could help me

find some clothes.

Why, yes.

There must be some of Mark's things

around somewhere.

- Aren't there some...

- Are there?

Well...

Yes. There are some

in Mr. Mark's room, sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Which is Mr. Mark's room?

It's the end, sir. Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Go away.

He loves me. He loves me not.

David! Where'd he go?

He went to get some clothes.

If he gets clothes, he'll go away.

He's the only man I've ever loved.

David! What will I do without David?

Stop. Get away from me.

George, please be quiet.

- David?

- What?

- Can I come in?

- I don't care what you do!

- Thanks. Where are you?

- Here I am. What do you want?

Go on and laugh.

I know it looks ridiculous,

but I'm past caring.

What are you going to do?

What I've been trying to do,

get back to New York!

You can't go dressed that way.

They're all I could find,

and clothes are clothes. I'm going.

I'm going back to New York...

if only to repair the damage

that's been done since I've known you.

The damage to Miss Swallow,

the museum, Mr. Peabody and everybody...

Mr. Peabody? But, David...

the one way to get to Mr. Peabody

is through Aunt Elizabeth.

Please listen for one second.

He'll do anything she tells him to.

He'll even like you.

He's Aunt Elizabeth's lawyer.

He's her lawyer. Mr. Peabody.

- What's your aunt's name?

- Elizabeth.

- But she has another name.

- Of course.

Never mind. Don't tell me.

Why not? It's Random.

Mrs. Carleton Random.

- Yes, I know. I knew that was coming.

- What's the matter?

Out of seven million people,

why did I have to run into you yesterday?

What have I done?

Susan, Mrs. Random is going

to give away $1 million.

I know.

I wanted it for the museum.

I'm afraid you've made a rather

unfavorable impression on Aunt Elizabeth.

I quite realize that.

- Susan, listen to me.

- What?

A lot of things have happened but

we'll forget them because this is serious.

What, David?

Can you concentrate for just a moment?

There's only one thing to be done.

And this is important to me

and to my work.

What?

You're so good-Iooking

without your glasses.

- Listen to me. Try and remember.

- What?

I've made a horrible mess of things.

Your aunt must never find out who I am.

You do understand, don't you?

Yes, David.

You can tell her that I'm Mark's friend

and I have bats in the belfry...

but don't ever tell her my name.

Can you remember that?

- Yes, David.

- You're sure?

Yes, David. But you are good-Iooking

without your glasses.

Never mind, Susan.

What did I say?

What did I do? What did I say?
