I Could Go on Singing Page #4

but you got 2,498.

That's an awful lot of people.

What do you say?

Come in.

Mr. Donne to see you,

Miss Bowman.

Show him in, please.

All right, you can go in now.

- Hello, Matt.

- Hello.

How nice you look.

Come in. Come in, please.

Gosh, it's a bit different

from school, isn't it?

How do you do, sir?

Hi.

Good evening.

How do you do?

Matt, did your father

bring you?

Didn't you get the telegram?

He got a call from Italy.

An emergency case.

It's standing room only outside.

George, will you start

the overture, please?

Right.

Would you excuse me?

I'll be right back.

- OK, Ida?

- Yep.

Fine. Turn around.

- The seams all right?

- Splendid.

There you go.

I hope it was all right...

my coming.

It's more than all right.

As a matter of fact...

it's a great big compliment

to me that you came.

I'd have been awfully

disappointed if you hadn't.

Come on, let's go.

Actually, you see,

I came up to town on my own.

They don't know I'm here.

You mean your father

doesn't know?

No. He thinks

I'm in Canterbury.

But I wouldn't miss

your opening night for anything.

Listen, Matt,

you're going to see my show...

and then we're going

to have supper together...

and then I think I'll

bed you down at the Savoy...

and after that, we'll get

your tape recorder tomorrow...

that he promised you...

and a couple

of other things, maybe.

That sounds marvelous. But

I think Aunt Beth would worry...

No, don't worry about that.

You'll take care of Aunt Beth,

won't you, Ida?

Yes, I'll call Aunt Beth.

- Joe.

- Yes, Miss.

Would you show this young man

to his seat, please?

- Yes, certainly.

- Good luck, Miss Bowman.

Thank you. You know, we may have

such a good time tonight...

your father will be sorry

he missed it.

- Good-bye.

- Bye.

Did you check the fuse box?

Well, something

looks like it's out.

Check it, and fix it fast.

Honey, it's a gas!

Gimme! Gimme!

- Go!

- Yeah!

Hey!

Hear that bluebird

up in a tree

Hear him

What a song

Joy he's bringing

Singing to me

Singing all day long

Good-bye to skies of gray

For I'm back home

Today

All day long

I jump and run about

You can always

hear me shoutin' out

Hello

Bluebird

Got no time

For blues or anything

I'm so happy

I just want to sing

Hello

Bluebird

Blue skies, sunshine

Friends that are real

Old folks, sweetheart

Oh, how I feel

I'll not go roamin'

Like I did again

I'll stay home

and be a kid again

Hello, bluebird

Hello

All day long

I keep singing

Hello, I'm glad I found you

Bluebird,

make yourself at home

No more blues

Just because I'm happy

When I'm around you

Bluebird

No more need to roam

Up above the sun is shinin'

The world is ideal

I just can't describe

The marvelous way that I feel

With nothin' but

the bluest skies ahead

What a rosy future lies ahead

Thank you, bluebird

Happy, happy bluebird

Mister bluebird

Hello

This is a good idea,

coming on the river.

There's St. Paul's.

Christopher Wren designed it.

Are you cold?

Not a bit. We take cold baths

every morning at school.

But we can get some shelter

further up there.

Everyone's watching you.

Does it bother you?

Oh, no. It doesn't bother me.

Tell me, do you like

living at school...

the way you do, all the time?

I don't mind. I've been away

from home since I was eight.

Don't you get lonesome

for your family?

I haven't really got a family.

Father's away quite a bit.

- He's rather busy, you know.

- Yes, I know.

It's the same for you, too,

isn't it?

I mean, you don't get home

very often, either.

No.

That puts us

in the same boat, then.

Yes.

I have to get off

at the next landing stage.

If I don't, I'll miss my train.

I don't want to rush you.

It's no rush.

Can I have your autograph,

please, Miss Bowman?

- There you are.

- Thank you.

Thank you. Matt,

why do we have to get off here?

Why don't we have

the whole day together?

- I couldn't.

- Yes, you could.

Stay with me.

Spend the day with me.

Do me a favor. Come on.

There's a 6:
56,

but I'd have to let them know.

I fixed it last night,

didn't I?

- You did.

- I'll fix it again tonight.

- Come on!

- All right.

I beg your pardon.

Faster, faster, faster...

- Here.

- Oops. We're locked out.

That was a nice day.

Don't panic, Ida. We're here.

We've been all the way

up the river...

Down.

And all the way down

the strand.

Up.

I haven't had

so much fun in years.

You got messages.

Press conference

tomorrow at noon.

Rehearsal's at 3:00.

Phone calls...

Your agents, New York...

George, several times.

And they left the hats.

Good! You can help me

pick one out.

I made that call

to Canterbury...

but I don't see how

he's going to make the 6:56.

I've got news for you, Ida.

Matt's going to be my guest...

for one more night

and one more morning.

We're going to the ionic

propulsion exhibition...

at the science museum.

So it looks like you're gonna

have to make another call.

Look, why don't you go powder

your nose or something?

OK.

Canterbury wasn't any too happy

when I called this afternoon.

In fact, Canterbury's getting

just a little irritated with us.

I'm sure you took care

of everything, Ida.

Do you think this is my style?

How long is this going on?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

I took him out for the day.

What's so wrong with that?

Look, Jenny, this is me, see?

Ida. Eighteen years. Remember?

I just want to get

to know him a little better.

And then what?

Let him go home, Jenny.

Tomorrow.

Why don't you quit

while you're ahead?

You wanted to see him.

Fine, you saw him.

Now say good-bye.

- We blew the recording room.

- George! Hi.

When did you get back?

Look, are you all right?

- We were worried.

- I'm fine!

Look, if you ever

get hung up again, let us know.

We'd work it out for you.

That's what we're here for.

You still here?

Good evening, sir.

Yeah.

I'll set it up again.

Are we on our way?

Are you ready, honey?

Jenny, I don't think

I ought to stay.

I'm keeping you

from important things.

Nothing's that important, Matt.

I haven't missed a thing.

George, I have

a new escort tonight...

and a very attractive one, too.

See you later. Come on.

I've been running

through rains

And the wind

that follows after

For one certain face

And an unforgotten laughter

I've been following signs

I've been searching

through the lands

For a certain pair of arms

And a certain pair of hands

Yes, I tried a kiss here

And I tried a kiss there

For when you're out

in company

The boys and girls will pair

But it never was you

It never was anywhere you

An occasional sunset

reminded me

Or a flower hanging high

on a tulip tree

Or one red star

hung low in the west

Or a heartbreak call

From a meadowlark's nest

Made me think

For a moment

Maybe it's true

I found him in the star

In the call

In the blue

But it never was you

It never was anywhere

You

Anywhere

Anywhere

You

Anyone for ionic propulsion?

She's out.

That's French for not up yet.
