Go West Young Man Page #7

My, isn't that a divine tune?

Don't you adore dancing?

Yes, I do.

Oh, uh, what do you intend doing

with it, after it's complete?

What do I intend to-

Oh, you mean this.

Well, I guess an inventor never thinks about

that sort of thing. What would you suggest?

Oh, I've been seriously

thinking about it.

The invention, I mean.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it would

revolutionize the whole picture business.

Do you really think so? Why, I know so.

But you'll have to take it to Hollywood.

Oh, not a chance.

I don't sell enough gasoline out of those

pumps of mine to buy a ticket to the state line.

But you don't have to.

[ don't what?

I'm going to take you to Hollywood

myself. Hey, wait a minute.

Oh, yes, I am.

I've talked it all over

with Mr. Morgan,

and he thinks it's positively

a marvelous idea, and so do I.

I'm going to have you meet all

the big executives in Hollywood.

Why, they'll just thrill

at your invention.

Hmm. Why, you'll be making so much

money, you won't know what to do with it.

Oh. Lovely music,

isn't it? To Hollywood.

Do you like to dance,

honey?

Boy, wouldn't that

be a break?

Never, never, never!

I wouldn't make up with Bud Norton

if he was the finest man in the worid.

- That's what he is, and you know it.

- I do not know it. I-

Oh, Aunt Kate, I love Bud, but-

I'm crazy about him.

Only now, it-

But now what?

My pride.

Huh! Your pride?

You mean your family's pride.

Now, you listen to me.

You want Bud, but you're

not willin' to fight for him.

I had my chance once,

and I was too proud to fight.

Even now, when I think about it,

it does somethin' to me inside.

You've got to work for love, just like

we've always got to work to earn a livin'.

And if this woman's got somethin'

that's takin' him away,

you find out what it is

and add a little bit to it.

If the goin' gets too tough,

sock below the belt.

Sometimes you just

have to do it.

Mmm.

Oh, you like my perfume?

Oh, so that's what it is.

Parlez de L'amour.

Which means,

''Speaking of love.''

Oh, perfume is

a wonderful thing.

Why, do you know, they make

it out of the darnedest things?

Horses' hooves, potato

peelings and coal tar and-

Why, do you know there are over

600 by-products of coal tar?

Well, I always say, ''Science is

golden'' or something like that.

You mean, ''Silence is golden.''

Yeah, golden-

18-carat, you know.

Mmm. Moonlight and music.

It does seem a shame

to let them go to waste.

You know, I was saying

to the moon...

just the other night,

''Wouldn't it be grand...

if I should find

my one delight?''

I was saying to the moon

Love can't be so far

Never thinking

you would soon

Be standing where you are

Oh, I just stood

and stared at you

I could hardly contain myself

Then I tried to explain myself

But all the time you knew

When you stepped into my life

[t was opportune

Just as though you heard

What I was saying

To the moon

I was saying to the moon

Just the other night

Wouldn't it be grand

if I-

Oh, honey, forget that. Come on,

take a little ''relaxitive.'' Hmm?

Such music.

You know, I

- I'm really not a very good dancer.

Uh,just take

two steps forward, dear.

Lovely!

You underrate yourself.

Opportune

Flash! Mavis Arden,

beautiful motion picture actress,

was reported kidnapped tonight while en

route from Washington, D.C., to Harrisburg...

on a personal appearance tour.

The police have been notified and an intensive search is

being conducted for the glamorous star of Drifting Lady.

He's a kidnapper. He's

a kidnapper. He's a what?

Him in there. He kidnapped Mavis

Arden. It says so over the radio.

We gotta get a gun! We gotta get

the police in Gettysburg. Come on.

But if he's kidnapped her, why don't she

say something? Why don't she do something?

Maybe he threatened her life if she does.

Maybe he's gonna throw acid in her face.

What'll we do? Come on,

come on. I know what to do.

Mmm. You're not very romantic,

are you, dear?

Well, I guess I haven't

had much time for it.

But I feel you could be

if you let yourself go.

That's what I'm afraid of.

You know, honey,

it isn't often I get a chance...

to talk to someone

who understands.

You don't know

- You don't know how I'm suffering for my career,

all because Mr. A.K. Greenfield,

president of Superfine Pictures, Inc.,

loves money.

Money.

What does it get you?

Well, it seems to have gotten you pretty

nearly everything a girl could want-

automobiles,jewels

and swell clothes.

What do they matter,

when I've missed the one thing

in all this worid that really counts-

love.

The tender, honest love of some

simple man who understands me.

And here

I've been practically a slave,

chained to a five-year contract

that forbids me to marry.

A slave to A.K.'s greed

for gold, gold!

Hmm. It does seem terrible

when you put it that way.

If only I could meet someone

before it's too late.

Mmm. Someone like you.

Me?

Why, you can't mean that I-

I'm nobody. I haven't

anything, not a thing.

Honey, you've got everything.

Everything my dream man

needs to make me happy.

Do you mean that?

Look into my eyes

and read the truth.

Yes, your eyes.

It's sort of hard to tell

what color they are. It's like-

It's like what? It's like

the water in Miller's Pond.

In the winter, with the sky overhead, it's as blue as

- as anything.

And in the fall, when the leaves

turn, it's sort of gray-brown.

And your hair-

What about my hair?

It reminds me of golden corn

tassels waving in the sun.

I- I've never seen hair like it,

outside a magazine.

Oh, I guess I'm talking

like a fool.

No, you're just divinely sweet,

and I'm kinda crazy about you.

Do you mean that?

Do I? Why-

Listening to the music?

No, Aunt Kate, I was just

working on my drawings.

Well, keep right

on working.

- Miss Arden heard the music and came down to listen to it.

- Oh, a music lover.

Well, then, we can all sit

down here and enjoy it together.

Perhaps we had better turn it off.

We seem to be disturbing everybody.

Oh, don't. It isn't often we get a

chance at any nightlife in this house.

Hmm. Maybe you don't give it

a chance to develop.

Aunt Kate, don't you think

it's kind of late for you?

Not too late, I hope.

The Night Owl Serenaders come on at

2:
00. You'll love them, Miss Arden.

At 2:
00?

[t's almost that now.

Oh.

I really must be going.

I'm usually in bed at this hour.

This must be one of your off

nights. I'm beginning to think so.

In fact, I'm sure of it.

Oh, don't go. I thought we could have a nice

visit while we were listening to the music.

Well, I'm sorry.

You spoke of cooking at dinner.

Have you tried this new way of

cooking spinach? You take your spinach-

You take your spinach. I

don't need any. Good night.

Well, Mr. Morgan,

what are you gonna do about it?

If you ask me,

I think you've been lying.

I think you're in on this scheme to take

Bud away,just so you can steal his invention.
