Come on, give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Get up.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, get in.

Ohh!

Give me you hand.

Get in here.

- Come on. Ohh!

- My head!

Hold the window.

Come here, hold the window.

Hold the window.

Hold the window.

Hold the window.

There you are.

- Now that's easy enough. Now, come on in.

- Flash!

Ohh!

A poet said

"I'll never see

A poem lovely as a tree"

But I would change

this version to...

"A song as lovely, dear,

as you"

While bright stars

light you up tonight

I think I'll write you

up tonight

I won't need steel guitars...

Just a verse and 32 bars

Ahhh

I'd like to set you

to music

Ahhh

Immortalize you

in music

I'd like to borrow

The lilt of April's breeze

And then reprise you

In these melodies

Ahh

And when I finish

the music

Oooh, hooo hooo

You'll hear the sweet

orchestration

Of the birds...

I'd like to set you

to music

Just because

You're far,

far too wonderful

For words

- La da, da da

- Ooh ooh

La da, da da

La da, da da

La dee, da da

But there's no one

lovelier than you

Man:
I'd like to set you to music

Immortalize

you in music

I'd like to borrow

The lilt of April's breeze

And then reprise you

In these melodies...

And when I finish

the music

La da dee,

da da da da dum

You'll hear

the sweet orchestration

Of the birds

I'd like to set you to music

Just because

You're far

Far too wonderful

Far too marvelous...

For words

La da, la da

La da, da da.

- Waiter!

- Yes, sir?

- Same thing, please.

- What'll you have?

A... what's the matter

with you?

Why aren't you

waiting on the tables?

I can't.

Why not?

I'm in love.

But she likes

Johnny Long.

I know that.

If I was a musician,

I'd have a much better

chance with her.

- But you're not.

- I know that, too. I'm a big dummy.

I never took lessons

with nothing.

- You can't play any instruments?

- I can't play nothing.

Hey, wait a minute!

I've got an idea.

Do you know

what's in there?

- There's a Victrola in there.

- A Victrola?

- What are you going to do with that?

- With a piano record.

I was supposed to take it

on the other side of the pool.

- Why don't you go and take it over there?

- Wait a minute.

I'm going to take this thing

in back of the piano.

You're gonna take the Victrola

in back of the piano?

Go over and ask her if she

wants you to play the piano.

- If she says yes, I'm stuck, huh?

- You're not stuck!

You go over to the piano

and you say, "All right. "

When you say, "All right,"

I'll put on the record.

She'll think you're playing.

Then, when you say "All

right" the second time, I stop.

Oh, we're gonna

flimflam her?

- No!

- Let's have one rehearsal.

Go ahead.

All right.

- All right.

- Stop.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Hello!

Hello.

- How are you?

- Fine. How are you?

I... do you

like musicians?

Why, I love them.

You do?

I play piano.

I didn't know you could

play the piano.

Do you play by ear?

No, I use my hands

like everybody else.

They hurt

when I play that way.

Oh, I see.

Like that. Would you like to

have me play something for you?

Sure.

Come on.

Do you mind

sitting over here?

- Not at all.

- Thank you.

You sit right down there and I'll

play something on the piano for you

like you never heard in your life.

Beautiful, too.

Excuse me.

All right!

Good, right?

All right.

- How did you like it?

- Say, that was all right.

All right!

It's only when I say,

"All right. "

All right!

Not now,

you dummy!

- Well?

- Say, that was fine!

But why do you keep

saying, "All right"?

All right!

- Say, that was all...

- Don't say it!

- Well, that was fine.

- That's better.

I thought you were going

to say it was all right.

All right!

Anything else you'd

like to have me play?

How about "Prelude

in C-Sharp Minor" by Rachmaninoff?

Rachmaninoff?

Right.

That ain't the guy that used to play

third base for the Yankees, is it?

No, I guess not.

Rachmaninoff!

All right!

All right!

Well, I'm waiting.

So am I.

All right.

Come on!

I'm not in the mood yet.

All right!

All right!

That's better.

Good, huh?

One hand.

No hands.

All right!

All right.

All right.

Stop here!

All right.

All right! All right!

All right,

that's enough.

All right!

You ought to be

ashamed of yourself.

I thought you were

a nice little fellow.

I tried to be nice to you. To think

you'd play a trick like this on me.

You thought I was

going to fall in,

didn't you?

Whooo!

Come on, please.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- You should be.

Johnny, it was swell

of you to get us these jobs.

I'm glad

to help, boys.

Just see that you try

to keep them now.

Now, we've got

to find those crooks.

That may be your idea. My idea is

to let the crooks find us.

They're the last ones

I want to see in this world.

Never mind.

Come on, let's go.

- What are you going... no.

- Whooo!

Never mind that, you.

You wheel it in.

Come on. Come on.

Your dinner.

- Serve it right over there, please.

- Oui, oui, madame.

Look, baby,

duck in this next room.

It's almost time for my

first number downstairs.

- It's okay. If you're late I'll square it.

- All right.

Dinner is served.

It's over.

- Wait... wait a minute.

- Now we got them.

Let's knock them off

like we planned, eh?

What are you going

to knock us off for?

All we did was take your

picture coming out the bank.

You mean there was film

in those cameras?

Yeah. We only got

your backs.

- Quiet!

- Excuse me.

Now listen...

What he's trying

to tell you is,

we've got your backs

to the walls.

And if you don't

give us our money

we'll give the cops

the negatives.

Yes, if you don't

give us the money

we'll give the cops the

negatives, and that's positive.

Hold the phone, boys. There's no use

in our trying to jockey for the rail.

Why don't you give us the negative

and we'll give you your 25 Gs?

Where's the money?

Why, I've got that up in a cabin

not far from here.

Oh, yeah? I've got

the negative, too,

and it ain't

very far from here.

Shut up! Where's this cabin?

Tomorrow I'll take you up

with me and we'll exchange presents.

That's a date.

Come on, Tubby.

Out of my way.

Well, in case you fellows

want to see me

you know where

you can get me.

Say, wait a minute.

That lady inside wants

to talk to you.

That lady wants

to talk to me?

Mm-hmm. I think

she kind of goes for you.

You just make yourself to home.

I'll bring her out.

Come on, boys.

The lady goes for me.

Sweetheart, now's the time to

pay me back for that little favor.

I want you to go in there and get

the negative from the little guy.

But how will I do it?

Well, it will take

a little strategy,

but you're a strategy...

with a figure.

I'd like to talk

to you for a moment.

Won't you sit

over there?

- Cigarette?

- No, ma'am, I don't smoke.

Oh!

- Drink?

- No ma'am. I don't drink.

Perfume?

No ma'am, I don't...

what I was going to say...

Did you ever take

a girl out?

I'm too young.

Which one of you boys
