Dangerous When Wet Page #8

Synopsis: The health conscious, dairy-farming Higgins family begin each day with an invigorating swim. One day, traveling health-tonic salesman, Windy Weebe, comes to town and suggests they could swim the English Channel. Sponsored by "Liquapep" and coached by Windy, the family arrive in Europe. There it is decided that daughter Katie is the only one strong enough to enter the contest. But while she should be focused on the difficult and risky task ahead, Katie is pursed by dashing Frenchman, André Lanet... This comedic musical is well remembered for the scene when Katie dreams she is swimming with cartoon characters Tom & Jerry!

of the race.

The weather has turned very bad.

The worst we've had all day.

We can see the shore now.

Can you hear me, Katy?

Just a little way more.

It's getting colder.

The wind's blowing harder every moment.

The remaining swimmers

are having a terribly rough go.

The American girl,

she's the lone woman entrant now.

She's getting weaker every stroke.

We're almost there, Katy.

Almost there.

Keep swimming, honey.

Almost there.

She seems to be faltering

very badly now.

Those waves are really giving her

some terrible punishment.

I think she's asking to be taken out.

It's hard to tell but she's certainly

a very, very tired girl.

She ought to stop.

She ought to stop.

Take her out.

Take her out.

Wait, wait. Stand by.

Katy Higgins, she's changed her mind.

She was asking to be taken out...

...now she's changed her mind.

She's swimming again. She's carrying on.

Are you all right? Are you all right?

- Yes, but don't touch me, Andre.

- I won't.

Okay, we'll swim together now.

We swim good together, don't we?

Let's go.

Come on.

Attagirl, Katy. Come on, baby.

Somebody's pacing now.

Somebody's in there with her.

I can't see who but we'll try to find out.

Find out who.

This is terrific. She's swimming again.

She's going on.

Katy. What is it? Come on.

- I can't make it.

- Yes, you can.

Just a few more yards.

She'll never make it.

Look. Katy, look ahead of you.

Look at the lights.

Let's go.

She's coming in now.

Just past that bunch of rocks.

Katy, come on, you're almost there.

You can make it. Come on.

Look, it's so close. Katy, come on.

She's coming in. There she is.

Put your feet down, Katy.

You can walk now.

She's almost across the line now.

- A few more steps and she'll finish unaided.

- Don't touch her yet.

- Just three more steps.

- Don't touch her.

Get up, Katy. Get up.

Get up.

- Let me help you.

- No.

- Let me help you.

- Don't touch me, please.

Come on.

She made it. She's made it.

Katy, darling, you made it.

I got out of bed on the right side

On the bright side

On the light side

I got out of bed on the...

I got out of bed on the right side

On the bright side

On the light side

I got out of bed on the right side

And I'm havin' a wonderful day

I got out of bed on the right side

And I'm havin' a wonderful day
