I'll explain it to you.

Over here, we have

two kinds of tomatoes.

One is the vegetable. The other is you.

Me? I'm a tomato?

Oh, grade "a" and extra fancy.

Thank you.

You going somewhere special?

No. Just

for a walk.

Oh, well, I'll go with you.

Why?

Well... you're

a stranger here.

A babe like you with a face like that

has got to be awfully careful

in a world like this.

Careful of what?

Oh, of things.

Things?

Well... men.

I'm sorry to say that

we can't be trusted.

They are delicious,

your hot dogs.

You've never had one before?

Never.

Gee, baby, you just haven't

been anywhere, have you?

Jimmy, what are

hot dogs made of?

Well, uh, they're, uh...

They're-

let's talk about you.

I suppose back home

you've got a boyfriend?

No.

No?

No.

Oh, how can that be?

Baby, the only way

I can figure that out

is that where you come from,

there just aren't any men.

But there are!

Millions.

Well, what's

the matter with them?

If you were in this country,

you'd have been

married long ago.

I was.

Hmm?

Well, I, uh, hope your

husband is a nice fellow.

He wasn't.

He wasn't?

What happened to him?

Somebody shot him.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry.

Th-th-that's a shame.

Gee, I'm very sorry.

Oh, you needn't be

on my account.

Happened some time ago,

and he was a very

unpleasant man.

Who shot him?

Oh, a man who had

different political views.

Oh... well, huh,

that's politics.

Now I've got to

get back to the hotel.

I've got a heavy date

with an airedale.

Well, I'll-

I'll go with you.

Angel-puss...

Am I angel-puss?

Mm-hmm.

If there's ever

anything I can do

to help you make good

in your job at the hotel,

just you remember, I'm your pal.

I'll remember.

Is that all you do escort dogs?

Oh, no!

Sometimes it's cats.

Hey! Hey! Come on back here!

Come on back here!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Look, you go that way

and head him off.

Well, go on! Get going! If I

lose that dog, I lose my job!

Well, go on!

Get moving!

Here, boy!

Come on! Oh!

That's it. That's it. Keep him coming!

Come on! Come on! Here! There we go.

Grab him!

All right.

Once more and you got it. You ready?

All right.

A-while a-strolling

through the park one day

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

how was I?

Oh, baby, you're terrific.

Thank you.

Good-bye.

Oh, uh, hey, what about a date tomorrow?

Oh, I'm

sorry, but-

oh, come on, baby

- just you and me and a fox terrier.

What do you say,

angel-puss?

You're fired!

Yes, sir. Uh, but-

but what did I do?

Get out! Fast!

I'm deeply sorry. I'm

shocked, your highness.

Mr. faubler-

yes, your highness?

Hereafter, you will assign

a member of the hotel staff

to be my personal attendant.

Certainly, your highness.

Immediately, your highness.

Thank you.

Come, Jimmy.

Jimmy, come on.

Uh, yes-yes,

your highness.

Gosh. Royalty!

"Get out!" He said.

"You're fired," he said.

I, uh, I was dumbfounded.

What had I done?

And then she said,

"I want a personal

attendant."

And then he said, "yes, your highness."

He says, "yes, your highness.

You may have anything

you want, your highness."

Then I knew what I had done.

It-it-it looked like

the end of my career.

And then she said,

"I want Jimmy."

Oh... tell me

about it again.

Uh... all over again?

Yes, please. When you

come home and tell me

about the wonderful

things that happen to you,

well, I always feel as if

I were right there with you

and they were

happening to me, too.

Yeah. Well, I'll tell

you sometime later.

I saw her picture in the paper.

Is she really that beautiful?

No. She's even

more beautiful.

Oh. Well, I suppose,

being a Princess,

she's kind of snooty, hmm?

Snooty? Her highness?

Oh. She's-she's the unsnootiest

person I've ever known...

And the nicest.

Well, almost the nicest.

That is a matter

we did not discuss.

Well, I bet lots of men have asked her.

Oh, you don't do

that among royalty.

A man doesn't ask a

Princess. She asks him.

Course, uh, he

can hint a little.

Did she tell you that?

No, but I've been

studying up on princesses.

Oh. Well, could she

just ask anybody

she happened to meet and like?

Well, yes, I-i

guess she could.

Would he have to say yes?

No. But I know one guy

who would quickly enough.

Who?

Oh, baron faludi.

Baron zoltan

Maximilian Otto faludi.

Wh-what's he like?

Oh, he's one

of those hand-kissers.

Mmm... au revoir, Veronica.

Till tomorrow, Veronica. Mmm!

Ah! But he is a good

tipper, though, I must say.

So I'm going to take you out

to a very special place tonight.

Where? I've been

trying to guess all day.

Come in.

Jimmy, I got it.

Should I bring it-

no. Wait!

Well, don't you-

no. Not yet.

Well, what will I-

listen. Will you keep the

kalamazoo out in the Oklahoma

until the Mississippi is ready?

I'll let you know when Niagara Falls.

Anything the matter?

Uh, oh, no.

Well, what's that all about?

Huh? Oh, uh, just some, uh,

Baltimore got in the erie.

Mm-hmm. All right,

if you don't want to tell me.

Well, I'd-I'd rather tell

you where we're going.

We're, uh, we're going to go

to melody garden

and hear some music.

Melody garden?

Uh-huh.

You ready?

Uh-huh.

Can I look now?

Nope. Not yet.

Not till the music starts.

I'm in love with you, honey

with a love that's true, honey

Jimmy, I can really hear it.

Like it?

Oh, yes!

But-

oh!

Thank you, Jimmy.

And thank you, Albert.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, you shouldn't have done it,

but I'm glad you did.

Honey, won't you love me, too?

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, honey

mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, honey

no one else will do, honey

it's funny, but it's true

loved you from the start, honey

bless your little heart, honey

every day would be so sunny

honey, with you

I'm in love with you, honey

my little honey, it's

funny, honey, but it's true

oh, loved you

from the start, honey

ba da da da,

bless your heart, honey

honey

every day would be so sunny

honey, with you

my little honey

it's true my honey is you

ha ha ha!

Come in.

Oh, come in, Jimmy.

Oh, good morning, your highness.

Good morning.

Um, I didn't know

which paper you wanted,

so I brought all of them.

Oh. Which one has a column

written by Paul MacMillan?

The gazette.

Oh. Then bring me

the gazette.

Do you read his column?

I used to, years ago.

Do you read it?

Oh, every day.

Is it still good?

The best.

Hereafter, bring me

the gazette every morning.

Yes, your highness.

Oh, gee. Wait till I tell him

he's got a Princess reading him.

You know Paul MacMillan?

Personally. Why, he's one

of the best friends I have-

of his sex.

I'll tell you, the way

I got to know him

was he wrote a column

about me once.

Uh, if sometime you'd

care to read it...

Oh, I'd-I'd love to.

You would.

Um, let me see.

I happen to-oh. I happen

to have it, just by chance.

I'll see you get it back.

Oh, that's all right. You

keep it if you'd like it.
