Cover Girl Page #8

How would you lik e some crooning

That's too, too divine?

We'll lull you with a lullaby

That's strictly Hawaiian

Put me to the test

Mak e your request

I'll climb the highest mountain

I'll swim the smallest fountain for you

To the test

- Boy

- Mak e your request

- Hawaiian poi, boy

- I'll go to the Sahara

I'll get a queen's tiara

Oh, murder!

Solid! Jackson! Zoot!

First I promise you

I'll climb the highest mountain

Then for you I'll swim

The Radio City fountain

Though I'm scared of height

And I can't even float

Just put me to the test

And here's what else I'll do quote

Get a snowball right from Popocatpetl

I'll be Hansel if you'll be my Gretel

If we can't please you

Then perhaps my clarinet'll

- Why don't you put me

- Why don't you put me to the test, babe

I'll do the rest, babe

Mak e your request, babe

Anything your heart desires

- An orange from Pomona

- A bronc from Arizona

- Or a Hansel and a Gretel

- Snow from Popocatpetl

- All of this?

- All of this is...

A mountain or a fountain

Or a solid murder, Jackson, or a...

Is yours

Pardon me, may I have the next dance?

No, thanks.

I'm sitting this one out.

- Glad to see you.

- Glad to see you.

What are you trying to do, you...?

- Lady present.

- Lady?

- Ladies?

- Where?

- Where's the lady?

- There she is. Over there.

Oh, there she is again.

Relax. You ain't even

in her world, sad sack.

- I can dream, can't I?

- Wake up. She's getting married.

I read it in the paper.

Enter, my lord. Enter.

What have we here?

A tavern?

A likely place, my lord.

A likely place.

- I'll wager the coffee is rancid.

- True, my lord. True.

Joe, how are you?

Am I glad to see you birds.

Where you been anyway?

Military secret.

- The boys look pretty good?

- Plenty good.

Look at them, and you won't worry about

who'll be boss over there.

- Well, give out.

- What'll you have?

Oysters!

What do we generally have?

Just the two of you?

Did you bring anyone with you, Genius?

No.

Oysters!

Good old Joe.

He's bald. He's fat. He says "pearls."

He says "oysters." I love him.

You know? I love him too.

- You know why?

- Why?

Because he's dumber than me.

- Dumber than I.

- Okay. He's dumber than both of us.

Here we are.

Well, Joe, here we go again.

You wanna kill the magic?

Come on, pearl.

Well, Joe, what do you hear

about anybody?

Rusty, Danny?

Okay, what do you hear

about the little redhead?

- She's moved. You know where?

- And if I did...

...she's moving again.

She's getting married.

Tonight, Danny.

Tonight?

Hey, Danny, you found it.

- Found what?

- The pearl, Danny. You found the pearl!

- Nice timing.

- I told you it was a fake.

Sure you did.

- Give me a cup of coffee, will you, Joe?

- Right, Danny.

You see, I'm a genius at everything

but minding my own business.

Rusty ought to have that pearl

after looking for it for six months.

If she's gonna marry anybody but Danny,

she'll need all the luck she can get.

- McGuire know you came here?

- Oh, no.

He'd kick my teeth in

if he knew I came here.

Danny's got it figured out

that Rusty's happy with what she's got.

He don't wanna mess it up.

- Is she happy?

- Oh, she's very happy.

She lost 10 pounds,

but, of course, it's very becoming.

If she thinks about it too much,

she can go out and get a little tight...

...which she's doing quite often lately.

You probably know what you're doing.

That was a swell thing those kids had.

I'm glad I'm not the one that broke it up.

I couldn't sleep nights.

Danny will be wondering where I went.

If Pearl there is on her toes,

she'll take care of this some way.

How can I get out without passing

those people? I'm a back-door character.

Take the door on the left, Genius,

and thanks for coming.

Oh, sorry.

I thought you were somebody else.

Well, mastermind?

- What can I do now?

- Don't be so stubborn!

You've made a mistake. Admit it.

You've still got time.

Aren't you even superstitious?

That pearl's magic. You're liable

to be struck dead or something.

What pearl's magic?

This one.

Where did you get this?

A person by the name of Genius

brought it.

Said a person by the name of Danny

found it tonight.

Danny's at Joe's.

I've never seen such a

silly-looking pearl in all my life.

- It's all lopsided.

- Lf it's silly, why are you crying?

I'm not crying.

I'm crying because I always cry

when people are getting married.

Getting married's awful.

Who ever thought of it

in the first place?

Well, we're almost there.

Danny's leaving again tonight.

Oh, but I can't run away now.

Not at the last minute.

Your grandmother could, and did.

What's the matter,

your family getting soft?

- My grandmother?

- Go on. Tell her.

Her grandmother got her into this.

It's up to her to get her out.

She ran away from me, Rusty.

At the very last minute.

In this same room.

To this same music.

But she didn't belong with me.

She belonged to her piano-playing boy

who had the right things to give her.

Just as you belong to Danny.

I managed to k eep him away

from the wedding...

... but just closing the door didn't shut

him out, because I made a mistak e.

I forgot to hide the piano.

When she saw that...

... well, she didn't hear

the "Wedding March" anymore.

She only heard their music...

... that I could never learn to play.

Dearly beloved, we have gathered

together here in the sight of God...

...and in the presence of this company...

...to join together this man

and this woman in holy matrimony.

Wilt thou, Noel, have this woman

to thy wedded wife...

...so long as ye both shall live?

I will.

And wilt thou, Rusty,

have this man to...?

L...

I'm afraid not.

Thank you very much, but...

...my grandmother had the happiest life

of any woman ever...

...because she went back

to Danny. See?

I mean, she went back

where I belong and...

It wouldn't even be nice if I got married

to you with this pearl in my hand.

It's got a silly shape,

but it's very magic, Noel.

And we'd probably be struck dead, and...

My grandmother was so happy.

Well...

I can't risk getting struck dead,

can I?

I think you'd better take that thing

and get out of here before it goes off.

It looks loaded to me.

- Goodbye, beautiful.

- Thank you, darling.

Oh! Thank you. Thank you.

The dream I dreamed was not denied me

Just one look

And then I knew

That all I...

Let's k eep on singing,

"Mak e way for tomorrow!"

The sun is bringing

A new day tomorrow

Don't let the clouds get you down

Show me a smile, not a frown

Stand up and win! Turn About!

Don't give in! Let's give out!

To the blues, just refuse to surrender

One smile and you

Are a true solid sender

What if it rains and it pours?

It only rains out of doors

Let every frown disappear

And you'll find

That tomorrow's

Here
