Her Highness and the Bellboy

---

1

...there was an old castle, and

in the castle lived a Princess,

a lovely, lonely Princess.

Now, far, far away

from her castle,

in another country

across the sea,

was a city-

a big, busy city,

and here there was

a very grand hotel,

and in this hotel,

there was a bellboy.

Madam, your dog.

Ahh... mama's

little angel.

Him was a nice doggy, him was.

Uh, did him have a nice walk?

Oh, him did.

Uh, he did.

Hmm. Well, tomorrow, take Romeo

for his walk an hour earlier.

I'm sorry, Mrs. chettester, I have

an appointment then with a dachshund.

Oh, well, make it

the same time tomorrow.

Yes, ma'am.

Here.

Oh, thank you very much.

Uh.

How did you make out today?

Oh, I did ok.

Me, too. I had one of

them rich south Americans.

A guy gave me a couple of tickets

to the fight tonight

ringside seats.

Say, would you like

to go with me, Jimmy?

Oh, I'd like to, dick. Thanks

a lot, but I'm going to be busy.

Oh, you always say

that. Busy doing what?

Is it a girl?

Come on, Jimmy. Tell

us what you do nights.

You really want to know?

Well, I'll tell you.

Every night I go home,

and I Washington the Delaware with Miami

and Toledo the Chicago

till Detroit is Cincinnati.

Oh, Albert.

Hello, Jimmy.

Come on.

Where?

Why, it's time to go home.

Oh.

Hiya, babe.

Hello.

Hiya, babe.

Albert!

Hey, Jimmy, you know, I

just thought of something.

It's a lucky thing

for me my name is Albert.

Yeah, why?

That's what everybody

calls me-Albert.

Oh...

Well, there it is.

Yeah, ain't

it? What an instrument.

Gee, won't Leslie be surprised

when we give it to her?

She will if you

don't spill the beans.

Huh? I ain't gonna spill

no beans. Not even a bean.

Hey, Jimmy, how soon

we have it all paid for?

Not very soon. Not with

the tips I've been getting.

They had me walking dogs again today.

Yeah, I seen you with a

pomeranian and then a spitz-

very fine animals.

Very bad tippers.

Huh?

Oh.

Hey, Jimmy, how many

more bucks we got to pay?

8!

8, Mr. berger. I'm going to

pay you another buck right now.

Uh, 25, 35,

50, 55, 75, 90, a buck.

Thank you.

What's the matter with you?

I've a...

Bellyache.

Something I ate, no doubt.

No doubt. What

have you got in there?

Huh? What? Where? In?

Oh, nothing, Jimmy.

Just my abdomen.

Take it back.

It's only a little one.

I said take it back.

Oh, Albert, you're

such a trial to me.

Yeah, ain't I?

Why do you do things like that?

I don't know. I guess

I'm just a weakling.

Aw, Jimmy, don't be mad at me.

It was only petty larceny.

It wasn't no felony.

It was only a misdemeanor.

Why, the rap

is only-

you've been hanging out

with hack and his gang again.

Me?

What do they want you to do?

Well, nothing bad.

Just drive a car.

Whose car?

I don't know whose car. They

ain't picked one out yet.

When are you going to get some

sense? Would you like to go to jail?

Not very well.

Well, then, stop hanging

around with hack and his gang

or stop hanging around with me.

Which will it be?

I'll stick with you, Jimmy.

Attaboy! I'll be

right with you.

Hey, al.

Hey, al!

What's the matter?

Getting independent?

So you're not interested in

quick and easy dough, huh?

Listen. The job's all

set, if you want a cut.

Hack!

I want you to stop

propositioning Albert.

Oh, you do, huh?

Yeah, I do, huh.

And what he does

is your business?

I'm making it my business.

I'm not going to let you get him

into trouble, so lay off. Understand?

Why don't you take

a long walk, flunky?

Albert!

Stay out of this!

Jimmy, can I come in now?

Yes, Albert!

Uh! Here come the cops!

Albert, you were terrific.

Yeah, wasn't I?

But you ought to see

what I can do with two hands.

Hey, she must have

heard us come in.

Yeah, I'll go right up.

Me, too? Huh? Can I?

Nope.

Aw...

You can come up later.

I'll knock for you.

Oh, the flowers.

There they are-

just like they was.

Didn't even lose one petal.

Oh, what a man.

See you later.

Good evening, Mrs. odell.

How are you this evening?

Poorly.

Aw, that's too bad.

I guess working nights

doesn't agree with you.

Neither does working days.

Come in, Jimmy.

In the merry, merry month of may

I was taken by surprise

by a pair of roguish eyes

while strolling

through the park one day

for you.

Oh, thank you, Jimmy.

Forget-me-nots.

Yeah. Oh,

are they?

Uh-huh.

I love them.

Oh, something new, huh?

Who is it?

Don't tell me.

I've seen that face

somewhere before.

Oh ho ho!

That's Santa claus.

Well, you said to make some.

Are they all right?

Oh... looks

just like him.

Aunt gertie doesn't think they'll sell.

Oh, well, that's what's

wrong with aunt gertie.

She doesn't believe

in Santa claus.

How's about bubbling out

and seeing the bright lights?

Oh, I'd love to. Where'll we go tonight?

Well, uh, how's about the,

uh, ritz classic roof garden?

Oh, that's just where

I hoped you'd take me.

Ok. I'll call a cab.

What shall I wear tonight?

My pink evening gown or my

blue one or my green one?

Oh, no, no, no.

We're not dressing.

All my top hats

are in the laundry.

Come in.

Hello, Albert.

Huh? Oh,

hello, Leslie.

Albert, I'm taking Leslie

out for a little night life.

I want a taxi.

Huh? Taxi? Oh! Sure, Jimmy, sure.

Are you ready, Leslie?

Uh-huh.

Is the taxi here?

Taxi is here.

Beep beep!

Look out for the taxi, mama!

A ticket for speeding he should get.

Ha ha ha!

When she was a little girl,

she used to dance so pretty.

Excuse me, madam.

This-this place is reserved.

Thank you, Albert.

The pleasure's mutual.

Oh, isn't it a beautiful night?

You think you'll be warm enough, Leslie?

Oh, yes.

Uh-huh.

Jimmy?

Would you do a person

a personal favor?

What is it?

Would you read I and Leslie

a story? I brung a book.

Oh, no, Albert.

Not again tonight.

Oh, but I like 'em.

Don't we, Leslie?

Oh, yes, Jimmy, please.

All right.

Ahem!

"In a dark, wild wood

lived a young Princess,

"and she was lovely-as

lovely as flowers.

"Her cheeks were like lilies and roses,

"her eyes as blue as violets

"And she was good and clever and rich-

"so rich that she

could have ice cream

every day. And yet,

"she was not happy. She

had a hundred silken gowns,

"And she had

a hundred jeweled crowns,

"There was only one young person

there, and he did not count,
