It Should Happen to You Page #4

I mean that...

There's a lot of things,

sensible things we could...

...talk about and do and try for...

...but I can't seem

to get you down to Earth.

What's so wonderful about Earth?

Well, when this whole thing is over...

...when the bubble bursts,

I'll show you.

Pete?

Do you like me?

I sure do, except for one thing.

Well, if you do, don't you be

the one to burst the bubble.

okay.

And another thing.

- Could I ask you one question?

- Sure, Gladys.

Would you come out

and look at one sign?

est coffee I ever had

in my whole mouth.

I think that one's my favourite.

- Why?

- I don't know.

It's so...

So clear.

- Let's go.

- Wait. I wanna buy a few things.

Some towels.

Well, buy me one too,

for my head.

- Could I help you, madam?

- Yes, please. I want six of these.

- You'll take them with you?

- No, CoD.

- Name?

- Gladys Glover, G-L-o-V-E-R.

- A ddress?

-262 West-

- What?

-262-

- Did you say Gladys Glover?

- That's right.

- Are you her? Yourself?

- That's right.

- Well, for heaven's sake.

- Why?

Well, we were wondering

all last week about that.

- Miss Glover, would you mind?

- What?

Would you mind signing this

for my little niece?

She collects them.

She'll get the biggest kick.

- Harold! Guess who this is.

- Yes?

- I give up.

- It's Gladys Glover.

- No kidding.

- Why should I?

- Who?

- Don't know, dear.

- Gladys Glover.

- oh? Who's she?

- See?

- My, my.

She gave me her autograph, Harold.

- Would you mind?

- of course not.

Me too.

- Would you sign here?

- Will you sign this?

- Who is it?

- I don't know.

Please, Gladys,

let me have your autograph.

You got a pencil I can borrow

for a minute?

- It's Gladys Glover.

- Gladys Glover!

I must get her autograph.

Hey, quit shoving.

I was here before you!

Me next, Gladys.

Do you mind, Miss Glover,

signing my book?

- Who is it?

- Nobody, believe me.

St. Louis 11, Philadelphia 8.

Now for the National League.

There were only three games today.

Philadelphia at Milwauk ee

was rained out.

The Giants defeated Chicago 5 to 3.

Cincinnati beat St. Louis 10 to 9.

Three days more...

...and I'm nobody again.

Yeah, but I'll show you

how to enjoy that.

If I only had the money.

It isn't a question of money,

believe me.

I could have been on the covers

of matchboxes, pencils...

...anything you can think of.

We're gonna have a long talk

in a few days, Gladys.

In fact, several other talks.

- In fact, we may end up talking-

- What about?

- What do you think?

- Why not now?

ecause this is important.

And Ive got to wait

till I'm sure...

...that your ears and eyes

and your everything...

...are just a little more ready to-

Well...

- Gladys Glover.

- Yeah?

Gladys Glover.

Gladys Glover.

Mean anything to you?

He's talking about me.

Well, it's the subject for your

Manhattan Nightcap for tonight.

New York ers are speculating

as to the answer...

...to one of the most unimportant

questions of the day.

Namely, who or what

is Gladys Glover?

Did you hear that?

Signs bearing this mysterious name

are appearing all over our town.

ut it's this department's guess

that Gladys Glover...

...is a second cousin

to the famous ilroy.

That's 30 for tonight, friends.

See you tomorrow.

- Good show tonight, rod.

- Naturally, thanks.

Telephone, rod.

Yeah? Speaking.

Who? oh, can it.

Who is this?

What?

It is?

Gladys Glover in person.

Well, insulting in what way?

Well, now, you can't blame folks

for wondering, now, can you?

Say, where are you anyway,

and how long you gonna be there?

No, I just wanted to get the rest

of the story.

Yeah, fine.

I'll be right down.

Gladys Glover?

The mystery woman!

Correction. For " mystery woman"

read " screwball. "

I'll let you know.

- eep going, sweetie.

- Well, that's about all.

Except I was telling Pete...

...if I had money,

I couldve made myself...

...into one of the most

well-known people around.

Let me ask you something, Glover.

What if I could plant you around

a few spots? You know, radio, TV.

- Would you do it?

- Do what?

- Go on.

- Yeah, but do what once I'm on?

- Look, Gladys-

- I don't know.

Maybe just tell your story.

It's funny.

- Funny?

- Well, fascinating.

- I might get scared?

- No, you wouldn't get scared.

- I think so. I better not.

- Yeah, that's right.

Might be some cash in it.

There would?

Might. of course,

I'd expect my cut.

oh, sure. Why not?

You're not hooked up

in any way?

How do you mean?

Well, like engaged or

engaged to be engaged.

- Look, mister-

- Wait a second. Why?

I was just thinking,

there's this TV turn.

They call it Man and Wife.

You get married on the program.

- I understand it's quite a haul.

- Really?

- What are you looking at?

- I don't know.

Gladys, please don't get mixed up

in anything more.

You wanna turn into a freak?

How do you-?

There's The People Speak.

They're looking for goofballs.

- You hear? You're a goofball.

- Now, that's just a figure of speech.

I happen to know this fella

who runs the program.

Let me sound him,

see what happens, okay?

Go ahead, sound.

Ladies and gentlemen,

you have just heard the story...

...of three very great

and very brave men.

And so another miracle is entered

into the annals of exploration.

Gentlemen, thank you

for an inspiring story.

- Now?

- When he gives you a wave.

And here she is,

the gal who believes in signs.

Come on.

Everyone wants to be famous,

don't you?

Everyone would like to see their name

in lights, wouldn't you?

ut as Mark Twain once said

about the weather:

" Everybody talks about it,

but nobody does anything about it. "

Well, Gladys Glover is one girl who

decided to do something about it.

ut let's get her own story

in her own words.

Well, Gladys,

how did you get this idea?

" It just came to me.

I was walking along, and I happened

to feel on the blue side.

And I just lost my job, and I realized

that I certainly was a failure.

And I realized how the whole reason

I came to New York in the first place...

...was to see if I could not make

a name for myself.

And time was going by,

and I was not getting any younger.

And it looked like I never would.

And so then I saw this big-"

And then what happened?

" And so then I saw this big sign

up there on Columbus Circle.

And all of a sudden, I seemed

to see my name on it. "

That's happened

to many of us, I'm sure.

" oh, yes.

And so then I...

...began to wonder how much

it would cost.

So I went down and asked the man,

and this is how it started.

I was in a store and somebody who

saw my sign asked for my autograph.

That was some thrill,

and this is too. "

You mean, being with us

on The People Speak?

"That's right. Some thrill. "

Thank you, Gladys Glover.

And another thrill is

I'm gonna get paid for it too.

Indeed you are.

Indeed you are.

Do you mind telling us what

you're gonna do with the money?

I'm gonna rent a lot more signs
