I pinned the Irishman down long enough
to finish most of the score.
- Did you call me for that?
- I thought you'd like to hear it.
- It's 3:
00 in the morning.- It's 3:
00 in Chicago.Well, tell her it's 4:00 here.
A wonderful invention, the telephone.
Well, it's worth staying awake for.
- Gloria's gonna sing.
- Who?
- Gloria Knight.
- Who's Gloria Knight?
- Didn't I write to you about her?
- You haven't written to me.
Well, when I was gonna write,
I was gonna tell you about her. Listen.
Mrs. Kahn?
I just want you to know
you have a wonderful husband.
And he's written a beautiful song for me.
Play, Walter.
- She's gonna love this.
- Yeah.
Love me or leave me
And let me be lonely
You won't believe me
And I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy
With somebody else
- You might find the nighttime
- "Love me or leave me"?
The right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time
For just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting
With somebody else
There'll be no one
Unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
To have it today
And give back tomorrow
For my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
You ever think your husband
could write something like that?
No, I didn't, baby.
It's a whole new life here in New York.
You were right. It's just what I needed.
- How are the kids?
- "How are the kids"?
Donald recited "Old Ironsides" at school
and the teacher said...
Hello? Gu...?
Love me or leave me
And let me be lonely
You won't believe me
And I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy
With somebody else
You might find the nighttime
The right time for kissing
But nighttime is my time
For just reminiscing
- Thanks, honey.
- Regretting instead of forgetting
- With somebody else
- Grace.
I come 800 miles and that's all I get?
- Hey, Gus, who's the new blond?
- Does Gloria know about this?
This is my wife.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
- Bigmouth.
- Well, I didn't say anything.
Honey, you know
How are they, Gus?
I want your love
But I don't want to borrow
To have it today
And give back tomorrow
For my love is your love
There's no love for nobody else
That's Gloria Knight,
the girl who sang to you over the phone.
I had to be nice to her...
...because you don't know how hard it was
for us to get her to do our numbers.
And she's a very big singer.
She could be a big help to me. Us.
Oh, I understand.
You do?
That why you came
all the way from Chicago?
- Don't be silly.
- I don't think it's being silly.
After all, I don't blame you for worrying.
Here I am in New York,
all alone, and different people...
Gus, please. I wasn't worried at all.
I just came to see the show, that's all.
What am I, Jojo the Dog Face Boy
or Peter the Hermit?
Don't you think it's possible
a pretty girl could make a pass at me?
It's possible. But she wouldn't have
gotten anyplace. Not with my Gus.
- Gus, darling, the hook.
- Again?
This thing comes open
at the strangest times.
- Remember that night in Pittsburgh?
- Oh, don't remind me.
I thought I had it all fastened.
What a second-act curtain.
Oh, by the way, Gloria, this is my wife.
How do you do, Ms. Knight?
Well, Mrs. Kahn. I'm so sorry.
We've spoken over the telephone,
haven't we?
No. No, I just sort of listened.
I better put on my winter underwear.
- Gus, you're wanted out front. Ziggie.
- Thanks.
That means Ziegfeld.
You'd be surprised how much I've learned.
You wait right here, young lady.
I gotta talk to you.
- Mrs. Kahn.
- Yes?
Will you come in for a second?
Won't you take off your boxing gloves
and sit down?
Thank you.
You know,
this is a new experience for me.
I've never talked to another man's wife
without a lawyer in the room.
- What is there to talk about?
- Don Juan out there, with the cigars.
He's putting on a big act
for your benefit.
And I'm not going
to let him get away with it.
- Is it an act?
- I never hide my conquests, darling.
Only my defeats.
And believe me,
this time, I was shut out.
At first, it was strictly business.
All of a sudden, I found myself
falling for that sad-eyed...
...old hound of a husband of yours.
So I tried to get into the Kennel Club.
Would you mind telling me
what happened?
Nothing.
Absolutely, positively
and humiliatingly nothing.
It was almost enough
to make a girl wonder if she was...
- Cigarette?
- No, thank you.
Do you know how many times
he showed me pictures of you...
...little Donald and little Irene?
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
After a while, I got to hate those kids.
They were a symbol of something
that I'd never achieve.
And how he talked
about the way you play the piano.
You must play a wonderful piano,
Mrs. Kahn.
Thank you for being so honest,
Ms. Knight.
But if I ever catch you with him again,
I'm gonna scratch your eyes out.
Bye.
- What was that for?
- That's for nothing.
Absolutely, positively
and humiliatingly nothing.
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin'
Whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous
He answers twice
It's really killing that he's so willing
Whoopee
Picture a little love nest
And picture the same sweet love nest
What a year can bring
He's washing dishes and baby clothes
He's so ambitious, he even sews
So don't forget, folks
That's what you get, folks
- For makin' whoopee
- For makin' whoopee
Another year, or maybe less
- What's this I hear?
- Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected
And he's suspected of makin' whoopee
Shot with my own words.
She sits alone most every night
He doesn't phone
He doesn't write
I was busy.
He says he's busy
But she says, "Is he?"
He's makin' whoopee
- I have to work, don't I?
- That's work?
He doesn't make much money
Only 5000 per
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You pay 6 to her"
And then I say, "Judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge right into jail"
- You better keep her
- I think it's cheaper
- Than makin' whoopee
- Than makin' whoopee
- Come in.
- Aren't you folks gonna have supper?
- We're makin' whoopee
- We're makin' whoopee
No, no, Nora
Nobody but you, dear
You know, Nora
Yours truly is true, dear
And would I trade you for Venus?
No, no, Nora, no, no!
I saw your eyes
Your wonderful eyes
My heart has taught me their meaning
If you like Ukulele Lady
Ukulele Lady like a'you
If you like to linger where it's shady
Ukulele Lady linger too
If you kiss Ukulele Lady
While you promise ever to be true
Gus, been looking all over for you.
- Wonderful party.
- Thanks, Fred.
I can't stay.
My train leaves in half an hour.
I hate to see you go,
but good luck in Hollywood.
Everybody's moving out there
since pictures began to talk.
- Why don't you get in on the act?
- I can't get this house on a train.
