First Love Page #6

Bikes, miss.

Motor police.

And there they are.

You mean l...

I'm to go with them?

They'll get you there

before you can say

"Jack Robinson."

Mike told them

you were in a hurry.

Mike?

My brother, miss. These lads

work with him. They borrowed

the commissioner's car.

Now remember, miss.

You're not to stay

a minute later than 12:00.

I won't.

And the boys will be waiting

for you to bring you back.

All right.

I just wanna tell you all

how much I appreciate...

[Motorcycle Engine Backfires]

- I'll never forget...

- [Motorcycle Engines Starting, Revving]

I'll never forget this night

as long as I live!

Honestly!

[Continues Indistinct]

That's all right, miss. You'll

have the time of your life.

[Engines Continue Rewing]

Have the time of your life!

Remember 12:
00!

[Sirens Wailing]

[Horn Honking]

Everybody gone?

Everybody, sir.

That's good.

What time will they be back?

Very late,

I'm quite sure, sir.

That's good too.

Motorcycles. What'll

that family think of next?

I really don't know, sir.

See that there's

no noise around here

until they get back.

Very well, sir.

Will that be all, sir?

That'll be all.

Police... escort.

Sirens.

[Sirens Wailing]

Have you got it

or ain't you?

I know I had it yesterday.

I usually keep it

in the pocket in this door.

I don't wanna know

about your personal habits.

All I want is to see

the owner's license.

Terry, tell the young man

we have to go now.

Yes, ma'am, just as soon...

I think the whole thing

is ridiculous.

Maybe it is and

maybe it ain't, sister.

But I gotta stop...

all cars of this make and model

and see the owner's license,

or else take 'em in.

This is my father's car.

Maybe.

Come on, buddy.

You're makin'

a big mistake, officer.

This is Mr. Clinton's car

and Mr. Clinton's family.

That ain't my mistake,

that's Mr. Clinton's!

We can't stay here all night.

People are waiting for us

and we're all going to a party.

Ah, none of that.

I gotta work 'til 2:30.

You're being very insolent.

I don't think your realize

who we are!

Oh, yes I do.

Just three people

all dressed up...

ridin' around in a car

you ain't even got

an owner's license for.

Do we look like

the kind of people who

would steal an automobile?

Why should I answer that

and make you sore?

You'll pay for this.

When I tell my father

what you've done...

All I know is that I got to

do my duty and I'm doin' it.

How do I know

that ain't a dead body?

Why, that's Walter!

Say something

to the officer, Walter.

Hello.

See?

He's all right.

Could be ventriloquism.

Make him move.

You think I'm a dummy?

I'll pass

that question too.

You're being

deliberately difficult.

You're humiliating us

and keeping us here

without any cause.

If you don't wanna stay here

we'll go some place else.

Why don't you cut out

doing that Saint Vitus' dance

and admit you ain't got it?

I guess I left it

when I changed uniforms

or lost it today.

I've heard that one

a million times.

[Mrs. Clinton] May we go?

Right this minute, lady.

And because you've been so nice,

I'm gonna have the judge take

your case before anybody else.

Right at 12:
00.

12:
00! We won't go!

We'll settle it right here.

You're goin', sister.

Do you wanna go in the car,

or do you wanna go

on the bike?

Follow me.

I could have told you this would

happen. I saw it in the stars.

You and your stars.

You told me this was

gonna be a perfect evening.

I know, and it would

have been except for Venus.

You see, when Venus...

Tell it to the judge,

Mother.

[Engines Starting, Rewing]

May I check

your wrap, miss?

Oh, yes, please do.

Your check, miss.

Thank you. Where are you

going to put that?

In the check room,

just over there.

It'll be all right there,

won't it?

Indeed it will, miss.

Thank you.

Hello there.

Wonderful party, isn't it?

Hello, glad to see you.

Excuse me.

Jolly little group here

this evening, isn't it?

Yes.

I'm trying to think

where we met before.

Course I know you

perfectly well, but I can't

seem to remember your name.

It's not Fisher, not Fowler.

Foster!

Wrong.

Follensbee! I know, you're

Caroline Follensbee's daughter.

Wrong again. I'm sorry.

I have a remarkable memory

for names.

I'll get yours in a minute.

I don't think you will.

Yes, I will. And when I do,

I'm going to make you

pay a forfeit.

All right. But I don't think

you'll find out. I have to

go and look for somebody.

Good-bye.

Good-bye.

Hello, Bevans.

Lose something?

Signorina Cottillini.

Mr. Bevans,

you are sweet.

And you're going to sing

for us tonight.

I can't.

I'm in such poor voice.

My tour was so, so trying.

I said to Doug, "I will go,

but I will not sing."

You must sing,

I insist.

I can't possibly.

And I have no music with me

except... Doug, you have it.

It's just a Strauss waltz.

And tell the orchestra...

A Strauss waltz.

I did mark a change in tone

in the first eight bars in case

they do have to play it.

[Indistinct Chattering]

Oh, I'm sorry.

- Oh, Mr. Drake.

- I should have watched where I was going.

Oh, no,

it's all my fault.

Having a good time?

Oh, yes. Yes, I am.

That's fine.

I'm glad you came.

Oh, are you? I didn't think

I was going to get here at all.

That would have been terrible.

L... How's the rest of your...

How's everybody?

Oh, I don't know.

I haven't seen them since...

They're all right, I guess.

How are you... Your...

You still live at

the same place on, uh...

Oh, yes.

Yes, so do we.

Ted, we're dancing this one.

You're gonna be around?

I'll be around somewhere here.

Excuse me.

I'll see you later.

Who's that

pretty little girl?

I don't know.

Her face is familiar.

I can't figure out

where I met her.

Oh. Good evening.

How do you do?

[Orchestra Stops,

Plays Fanfare]

Thank you.

[Coughs]

Ladies and gentlemen.

We are most fortunate

in having with us tonight...

a singer whose greatness

is exceeded only

by her loveliness.

She truly has the gift

of song. A golden voice,

an inspired talent

and a charming personality.

Now, she's a very shy

young lady and though I know

I should not impose upon her,

I do so in the name

of Mr. Drake, our host,

and because it happens, quite

by chance, that the orchestra

has here a Strauss waltz...

which I think we may

persuade her to sing for us.

Shall we ask her?

[Applause]

[Mr. Bevans]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is

now my great privilege...

to introduce to you

Signorina Marguerita Cottillini.

Wrong again!

[Orchestra]

I'm afraid someone's made

a frightful mistake.

Oh, no, no. Whoever told you

I could sing was right,

but my name is not that

Signorina... whatever you said.

Life is sweet and gay

All the world's at play

There are blossoms of sunbeams

that glorify the day

And a gentle breeze

wafting through the trees

Serenades me with music

of tender melodies

[Cadenzas]

Life is sweet to me

So sweet and heavenly

Today I'm falling

in love with life

This is May time
