Yes, I'll stay.

How long?

Until you can stand

on your feet again.

David, I don't think...

Where is Jenny?

Hey, come on, let's go!

Oh, no, I've had it.

It's an hour past curtain.

You'll be 45 minutes

getting dressed.

Do you think

they're gonna wait for you?

There are 2,500 people

out there...

who paid money

to see Jenny Bowman...

but you're gonna

let them down.

That may not mean

anything to you anymore...

but I still have a certain

reverence for audiences.

They mean a great deal to me.

And if they still do

mean something to you...

I'm gonna find it very difficult

to forgive you.

And if they don't mean

anything to you anymore...

then I am genuinely

and profoundly...

sorry for you, Jenny.

There she is!

It's about time, too.

Where have you been, Jenny?

What?

Where have you been?

I've been having

a hell of a time.

Thank you very much.

What happened

to the ankle?

I've been skiing

or she-ing or both.

Do you like my furs?

Yeah!

Where'd you get 'em?

I just shot 'em.

I'd like to sing for you...

if we can get

these things pulled.

Can you pull them up?

Pull them up.

I think everyone's

gone to sleep back there.

Thank you.

"I Could Go On Singing."

When a dove is in love

With a doll of a dove

He is out all night

coo-cooing

When an owl's

on the prowl

For a feminine fowl

He goes out all night

woo-wooing

Every bird and bee

Has his lunacy

In the way

he works his dream off

But when I feel high

Here's the way that I

Like to get

my kind of steam off

Owls hoo hoo

Others sigh

Doves coo coo

Ah, but I

I could go on singing

Till the cows come home

And the rooster starts

to crow, crow, crow

When I see your eyes

I go all out

I must vocalize

Till you shout

Enough already

I could go on singing

Till the moon turns pink

Anything from "Faust" to

Ink-a-dink-a-dink

Love does funny things

When it hits you this way

I must keep on singing

Like a lark

Going strong

With my heart

on the wings of a song

Singing day

I:

Could go on singing

Till the cows

Come

Home

And the rooster

starts to crow

Crow

Crow

When I see your eyes

I go all out

I must vocalize

Till you shout

Enough already

I:

Could go on

I could go on singing

Till the moon

Turns pink

Anything from "Faust" to

Ink-a-dink-a-dink

Love does funny things

When it hits you this way

I must keep on singing

Like a lark

Going strong

With my heart

On the wings of a song

Singing

Day
