the stars. There'll be millions of them.

So close down that you can almost

reach up and grab them.

Tell me some more.

Well, when we get home

we'll be as hungry as a couple of wolves.

And I'll cook you a grand dinner.

Yes.

And I'll read you last month's newspaper

til you're drousy.

And then you'll go to sleep in my arms.

Like you did the first night I met you.

Oh, Jerry.

Blow the horn.

What's that?

Oh, nothing.

I guess I'm so happy I'm jumpy.

Run along now. You have to pack.

- What are you so nervous about?

- Nothing.

Jerry!

Hold me tight for a minute.

Give her a horn.

You have to go, I forgot.

We're leaving at midnight.

All right, now. I'll hurry back.

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

You'll like Havana.

Bright sun...

Races, casino, bars all open...

Lots of pretty girls just like you are.

Vanderbilt 7773

They don't answer?

Well, thank you.

Do you know anything about Arizona?

No I don't, really. They tell me

there's a lot of desert, though.

What are you worrying about deserts for?

Can you reach up and grab them in Havana?

Grab what?

The stars.

Well, I don't think there's

any law against it.

When you get to Havana you can have the sun,

the moon, the stars, the whole world.

But you'll have to smile

a little bit for it.

Oh, don't worry about me.

You needn't be afraid

you're taking a dead woman along.

I'll snap out of this like

nobody's business.

But you gotta promise me one thing.

What?

When we get on that boat

I wanna get cockeyed.

That makes it unanimous.

A-deck to your left, B-deck to your right.

Right along, folks.

A-deck to your left, B-deck to your right.

Right along.

A-deck to your left, B-deck to your right.

Right here, all right.

- Barroom is around the corner, sir.

- Alright. Thank you.

- Well, I'll be seeing you 12 miles out.

- Alright.

Oh, come on. Chin up.

Please don't say that.

I'll see if the bar is open

and we'll get cockeyed.

Hey, there, wake up, wake up.

Come on.

Get me up to Jerry Strong's apartment.

One moment, miss.

You need to be announced.

What name, please?

Er, Lydia Pinkham.

Very well, Miss Pinkham.

Listen, just say it's a friend

of Kay Arnold's calling.

Very well, Miss Pinkham.

Take a wire, please.

Yeah, to Dick Howard.

Mesa Grand, Arizona.

The line is either busy or out of order.

You'll have to wait.

Aw, come on. Be a sport. Take me up, it's

awfully important. Really, will you please?

I'm sorry, miss.

But it's against all orders.

I know, but no one will

even see you do it.

Alright, this is the wire.

Dick, leaving tonight for your ranch.

With a brand new wife.

Yeah.

Don't laugh.

I don't mean you.

Put it in the wire.

On your hat!

Twenty stories and

we'll heave off twenty pounds.

Going away, Mr. Strong?

Yeah.

Gonna get married.

Jerry Strong.

Jerry Strong?

- Yes?

- Jerry Strong.

No, I want to see Jerry Strong.

- What is it, miss. I'm Mr. Strong.

- What is it?

Oh, I'm Dot Lamarr. I live with Kay.

And she's gone. She's gone

to Havana with Standish.

Go on.

And your mother made her do it.

Try to stop her, please.

Hello, operator, please.

Give me Western Union, quick.

Hello, I want to send a wireless

to Steamer Santiago.

To Kay Arnold. Stateroom 22.

Tell them to page her.

It's very important.

Radio for Miss Kay Arnold.

Woman overboard.

Aweigh lifeboats.

Woman overboard. Aweigh lifeboats.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, there's a woman overboard.

Kay...

Kay...

Everything is all right, dear.

Open your eyes, darling.

It's Jerry.

Kay...

Kay...

Look at me, honey.

Open your eyes, dear.

It's Jerry.

Everything's all right, sweetheart.

Everything.

There's nothing to worry about.

Jerry

Darling, I love you.

Don't worry about anything in the world.

Nothing in the world.
