In the Good Old Summertime Page #3

Look at it, the classic lines,

the mysterious tones...

it seems to come from the air.

It's wonderful.

You don't have to keep them.

Kramer will take them back.

We're good customers.

We've given them

a lot of business this year.

- All you have to do is to eXplain...

- Wait a minute. What should I eXplain?

But you can see for yourself,

we've had them for two months.

Nobody will buy them.

- I'll call up Kramer.

- You shouldn't call.

They will sell, I know.

Please give them time.

This is my business.

Very well. There's the bill for them.

I've done the best I can.

I never saw such a man. Stubborn!

- $19.75 out of $20, please.

- May I have your sales check?

Certainly.

Let's see. That's $241 worth of business

I've done already this morning.

- Splendid.

- So you see, you were wrong.

This shop could stand

another salesperson.

10 cents, 20 cents, 25 cents.

I think you're angry because I sold a harp

and you couldn't.

On the contrary, I'm delighted.

- I only wish you could sell the other 99.

- Who knows? I may.

Thank you very much.

Please come and see us again soon.

It's always nice to see you.

I'll open the door for you.

- Just a moment, please.

- Yes, sir.

Could you tell me how this goes?

- I'd be very glad to play it for you here.

- Thank you.

This is a very popular song of the day.

I think you might like it.

Put your arms around me, honey

hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up

with all your might

Oh, babe, won't you

Excuse me. Would you like a little help?

- All right.

- Fine. From the beginning?

I'll sing the verse.

Introduction, please.

Key of B flat. Here we go.

Nighttime am a-fallin ', everything is still

and the moon am a-shinin ' from above

Cupid am a-callin ', every Jack and Jill

It's just about the time for makin ' love

Someone is a-waitin ' all alone for me

No more hesitatin '

I must go and see

How d'ye do, dear?

It's with you, dear

that I long to be

Put your arms around me, honey

Hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up

with all your might

Oh, babe

won't you roll them eyes?

Eyes that

I just idolize

When they look at me

my heart begins to float

Then it starts a-rockin '

like a motorboat

I never knew

any boy

like you

all your might

Oh, baby

won't you roll them eyes?

Eyes that

I just idolize your eyes

And when they look at me

my heart begins to float

Then it starts a-rockin ' like a motorboat

I never knew

any boy

like you

Fifteen cents, please.

Dear Friend...

Dear Friend...

If only once you'd admit

you'd made a mistake.

In all the years I've known you,

I've yet to hear you say, "I was wrong. "

All right. You will hear me say it now.

I was wrong.

For 20 years I have been wrong...

thinking I could marry a woman

who spies on me.

- A woman who spies on you?

- Yes, spies on me.

It looks as if we're going

to have a white Christmas.

Does it?

I thought it did. I don't know...

why he gives me a different answer

every time I ask him a simple question.

- Morning.

- Morning.

- I'm glad someone is happy.

- This is gonna be a big day in my life.

Say, do you mind if I ask you

a personal question?

No, go ahead.

Suppose a fellow like me

wants to get married.

- Congratulations.

- No, I said "suppose. "

For instance, suppose I wanna

get a three-room flat...

one of those things

with a bedroom and a dining room...

- and a living...

- Dining room?

- What do you want a dining room for?

- Where will we eat?

In the kitchen.

You get yourself a big kitchen.

- Where will we entertain?

- What are you, an ambassador?

Listen, if a friend is really a friend,

he comes after dinner.

Yeah, but suppose after we get married...

- I haven't even asked her yet.

- Who?

That young lady you were corresponding

with on intellectual subjects.

That's the one.

Anyway, after a while,

we got around to the subject of love...

- on a very intellectual plane, of course.

- How else can you in a letter?

So tonight we'll meet for the first time

at Heinkel's Restaurant.

- Isn't that wonderful?

- How will you know her?

She's gonna carry a carnation

and a book of poetry.

- Very appropriate. And you?

- I'm gonna wear one in my buttonhole.

She's the most wonderful girl.

She's got such high ideals...

- such delicacy of feeling.

- Good morning.

I'll tell you more later.

Here comes the duchess.

- Someone else is happy today.

- Good morning, Mr. Hansen.

Morning, Miss Fisher.

- I know, I'm late.

- No.

That shirtwaist you wore yesterday,

the yellow one with the green dots?

No, as usual you're wrong again.

It was a green one with yellow dots.

Everyone else seemed to think

it was very becoming.

As I recall, I've never mentioned anything

about those neckties you wear.

And believe me, if you think I couldn't,

you're crazy.

- My neckties are...

- So leave my shirtwaist alone.

- It's none of your business.

- Mr. Oberkugen seems to think it is.

- That's right. I'm working under you.

- Let's not forget it.

From now on, I'll phone you

every morning...

and tell you eXactly what I'll wear.

Is that all right?

If you want to dress up

like a circus pony, go ahead.

But I don't want the boss

taking it out on me.

Listen here...

I sold just as much as anybody else

in that shirtwaist yesterday.

- Really?

- Did you tell Mr. Oberkugen that?

- I did.

- And what did he say?

- He said, "Tell her not to wear it. "

- Tell him I won't.

- I will.

- Thank you.

Don't mention it.

I didn't know it was over.

You know that green blouse

that I had on yesterday?

- The one with the little yellow dots?

- Yes.

- I think it's lovely.

- Did you like it? I'm so glad.

Because I have an important

engagement tonight...

and I didn't know whether to wear that

or something a little more formal.

- I always think...

- Morning, everybody.

Morning.

- Good morning, Miss Fisher.

- Good morning.

May I tell you, you look charming today?

What do you say we dress up tonight,

have an early dinner, and go to the opera?

- I'm sorry, I can't.

- What is it? You don't feel well?

I feel very well, thank you.

I have another engagement.

You can get out of it.

EXplain it to her and she will understand.

What makes you so sure it's a woman?

I have men friends, too, you know.

You are not going out with another man?

- Yes, I am.

- You couldn't do such a thing.

And who's going to stop me?

Yes, sir?

Will you please tell everybody

to stay after work tonight?

We are taking inventory.

- Tonight?

- Yes, tonight!

There are a lot of things on our shelves

that are not moving.

I should like to know what they are.

I want a thorough check made

of all our merchandise.

Is it absolutely necessary

that I stay here tonight?

Because I've got

such an important engagement...

- and could you possibly spare me?

- That's entirely up to Mr. Larkin.

Could you get along without Miss Fisher?

As a matter of fact, I was about to ask you

if I could have tonight off, too.

What is it? Does everybody want to leave?
