Her Highness and the Bellboy Page #6

---

that sounds like a reasonable request.

Petition granted.

One prince coming up.

Oh, your majesty, I'll

thank you with all my heart

when I have one again.

And while you're waiting,

be my personal guest.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you, sir.

Down. Out.

Queen, out.

And turn on the royal ballet.

Jug-a-rum. Jug-a-rum.

Jug-a-rum.

I'm in love with you

honey, you

with a love that's true

honey, you

no one else will do

honey

it's funny, la la la la

loved you from the start, honey

bless your little heart, honey

every day will be so sunny

honey, with...

Good morning, Gladys.

Morning, Jimmy.

Calm down.

There's nothing in it

about your dream girl.

Oh, boy!

Will you take Romeo?

I'm sorry, madam,

but I'm private.

Oh!

Now, let me see.

That's one dozen assorted Sandy clauses

at 6 bits each.

That's, uh...

Oh, you'd better take

what you can get.

Didn't you say

the man didn't want

any more Santa clauses?

Yeah. He wants

penguins.

We got Sandy clauses,

he gets Sandy clauses...

And he likes them.

Hmm. No, Albert.

What would Jimmy say?

Oh, him.

He don't ever say nothing to me no more.

But...

That interview ain't in today.

Where is that interview?

Hmm.

What's so hot

about an interview?

I was interviewed once.

Oh, now, Albert.

Well, I was, too...

By the district attorney.

"Today it is

the life and loves

of an elephant."

So... ha ha ha!

That's nice.

Chimney...

What is a elephant?

An ele-

why, it's an animal!

They-they look

like this.

Ah! Those big things

with the long noses.

Yeah-trunk.

Huh?

Trunk.

What a language.

This is a trunk.

Last night I trunk

whiskey and got trunk.

Today I pack my trunk.

Pack your...

You're-you're not

going away?

Yes-home.

When?

I do not know just when,

but I think soon-

maybe sooner.

No!

Don't sit.

Take the hat of her

highness to her highness.

Yes, sir.

Mr. pufi...

I, um-I'm going to

miss you.

Me, too.

Hello.

This is who?

Ah, baron faludi.

This afternoon?

Yes. Her highness

will be here.

No, no party-

just her and you.

Yes, baron, I will tell her.

Good-bye.

Ahem. I suppose

her highness

will be getting married

pretty soon, maybe, huh?

Maybe.

A Duke or a prince

or a baron, I suppose?

Sure.

It couldn't just be

some common, ordinary person, could it?

Oh, no.

No. Has to be somebody

who is somebody, huh?

Sure.

It could not be

somebody who is nobody.

I told you this

two times now already.

Princesses can't-

chimney!

Don't sit.

Veronica, you

must see that by now.

The only thing for you to do

is to go home right away

and forget about him.

Oh, I know how you feel about him, but-

oh, it is

impossible-

you and this nobody.

I don't consider him a nobody.

Oh, you know what I mean.

He has no title, no family,

no social position-

even over here.

He has intelligence...

Charm...

A sense of humor...

Ahh...

Well, what if he has?

They are not what we

require of our king.

I know. Look

at uncle Freddy.

Veronica, that is no way

to speak of his majesty.

He's a-a tomato.

Quite so, but he is our king.

Yes...

And Jimmy would make

a better one.

It's all settled then, huh?

We go as soon as we can.

There's really no point

in staying, you know.

The sooner you go,

the sooner you'll be

cured of this infatuation.

Don't talk as if

it were a case of measles.

All right.

You're in love with him.

Yes.

But is he in love

with you? No!

Yes.

It's quite clear

he's not even vaguely interested in you.

If he were, he'd show some

sign of it, wouldn't he?

Well, has he? Huh?

I leave you with the thought.

Mr. pufi!

Here! W-what is it?

Have things happened?

No! Uh, yes!

Has her highness got an

engagement for tonight?

No!

Oh, thanks.

Ha ha!

Your highness!

Yes, Jimmy.

Oh, my new hat.

Oh.

Well, just put it

down somewhere.

Oh, it's a beautiful day.

Yes.

It's going to be

a beautiful night, too.

At least, that's

my frank opinion.

Mine, too.

Oh, for stepping out, I mean.

For what?

Oh, for going somewhere

and doing something.

Oh, you want to step

out tonight, is that it?

Yeah, that's it.

That certainly is it.

Well, then, step.

It's about time you took a night off,

and I hope you have

a very good time.

Oh, Jimmy.

Yes, your highness.

Have you already made

your plans for tonight?

Uh, well...

I had made some,

yes, but-

oh, well, never mind.

I was going to ask you

to take me somewhere,

but if you have

another engagement,

keep it.

Yes, your highness.

Thank you.

Look, did you say what you said

about tonight and you and me?

Yes.

Well, look, where should

we go? I mean, what time-

but you have other plans.

Oh, I-

where shall we go?

Well, I'd like to go

to Jake's joint.

J- Jake's?

Oh, no, you don't

want to go there.

But I do!

Oh, I know, but that's

an awfully low place.

I'd like to see

a very low place.

Yes, but not that low!

Very well. If you won't

take me where I want to go-

oh, I will.

Well, then, call for me at, um, 10:00.

With the greatest of pleasure.

Are we dressing?

If you wish.

Thank you.

Ooh!

Don't sit!

Why don't you do some penguins?

Penguins is more popular.

Jimmy said to do Santa clauses.

Hmm. How is

his lordship?

Oh, he's fine, and he loves his new job.

Why not? He's got

a soft one.

No. He works very hard

and very late.

Sometimes it's midnight

before I hear him come home.

Hmm. Them's

long hours.

Hours are very long.

Don't he get no time off?

He hasn't had any

for over a week.

Maybe he'll get tonight off.

Maybe.

Well, I got to drag myself

over to the beanery.

Hmm! I wish I'd been

born a Princess.

Instead, I was born tired.

Say, is them all the Santa

clauses you've done today?

Yes, ma'am.

Only 3? Huh.

You used to do a dozen.

Guess maybe you're getting sick

of doing Santa clauses.

Why don't you do some penguins?

Good-bye,

aunt gert.

Gee! Jimmy.

I nearly almost didn't recognize you.

I thought you was a

waiter going to work.

Well, you look like one.

Oh, I do, huh?!

Do I?

Yeah...

But a headwaiter.

Yeah, well, I'd hate to

think what you look like.

Albert, how'd you get

that outfit?

Huh? Oh. Oh,

this old thing?

Well, the truth of the matter

is, I found it. So long.

Albert, please don't

do anything dumb.

Who, me?

Try to behave yourself

until I can talk

to you, will you?

I can't now.

I haven't got time.

Yeah, I know that.

So does Leslie.

How is she?

Didn't you see her tonight?

No.

I did.

Did you tell her about my date? Yeah.

What did she say?

Nothing.

She just kept on painting Sandy clauses.

Well, I got to go now.

Remember, keep your nose clean.

Sure, sure.

Come in.

Why, I'm sorry, sir,

but you're in the wrong place.

Oh, Jimmy, you look

so wonderful.

I- I do?

Really?

Uh-huh,

and you look

so handsome and so worldly.

Well, thank you, miss odell.

Sit down, Jimmy, and tell me

all about what you've been doing

and what you're

going to do tonight.

Well, I really can't stay.

I- I just popped in

to say hello.
