Living It Up Page #5

Miss Sheree North,

You're gonna dance with me, baby

That's what you're gonna do

You're gonna dance with me, baby

I've got my eye on you

Come on and dance it up, baby

This is my lucky day

We're gonna win a cup, baby

We'll take the prize away

I've got to have my baby

or I'd rather wind up dancing alone

- No other gal

- No!

I wanna winner not a beginner

No other guy for you, baby

What makes you think you're free?

Tell all the others

to dance with their brothers

That's how it's got to be

We'll win the cup

Steal the prize

Right before their very eyes

'Cause you're gonna dance

with me, baby

Give him air.

Give him some air.

- Is he all right?

- He's hurt.

Come on, give him some air.

Doctor, I want to know the worst.

We go to press in 15 minutes.

Oh, Oliver. Is there a chance, Steve?

Say something. Say something.

Here's a new bulletin

on the condition of Homer Flagg,

who collapsed last night at Wonderland.

The Mayor of New York

has rushed to Homer's side

to extend the city's sympathy,

And the following is a statement

issued from the sick room at 9:15

by Dr Stephen Harris.

Quote, Homer is holding his own,

Unquote,

Here. We'll go halfies.

Oh, Steve. We were so nervous.

It took you so long.

I had to go clear over to

the Belleflower Hospital

- for the latest drugs.

- Oh, yeah.

- Sorry, no visitors.

- The Chronicle has to know.

Yes, but, Doctor, I have

a very important appointment!

Oh, I'm sure

it won't take much longer now.

The Mayor wants to take your pulse.

Oliver wants to pull a sheet

over your head.

That's what this dog wants to do.

Can't we send him back?

That's a pedigreed basset hound,

a gift from the Governor of Kentucky.

You don't want to insult

the Bluegrass State, do you?

No, but why couldn't they send me

a horse I could ride out of town?

Oh, my head.

You have what is known in

the medical annals as la hangover.

I got worse than that,

I got a conscience.

I'm a liar, that's what I am.

Worst liar that ever lived.

I'd shoot myself, only I'm afraid

it might make me feel better.

Here, drink this.

Go ahead, drink it.

What was that I drank?

Tomato juice, Worcestershire,

Tabasco, horseradish and a raw egg.

- Why didn't you give me medicine?

- Medicine? Never carry it.

- It's too dangerous.

- What college did you graduate from?

- Who graduated?

- Oh.

I don't care how important it is!

What I'm doing is more important!

You think you've got troubles.

Look at me.

For the first time in my life, I'm in love.

Just a moment, please.

She's out there now.

She's been begging to get in to see you.

Homer, I want to go straight.

The works, preacher,

white picket fence.

She won't listen to me.

She'll listen to every cockeyed story

you tell her, but me, she won't listen to.

Will you do me one favour?

You want I should die? Oh, Doctor.

I don't want you to die.

Just tell Wally what I said.

The works, marriage.

She'll believe you

even when you're telling the truth.

Is it the truth?

- Do you want to marry her?

- Yes.

Okay, Steve. I'll tell her.

Thanks, Homer. I...

Thanks.

Yeah, well... Goodbye.

He wants to see you.

Please, it'll be much easier

if they're alone.

I'm glad you wanted to talk to me.

You see, I'm going away,

and I thought

I might not see you again until...

You're going away? Where?

- Just to Albany.

- What for?

Well, just to see the Governor.

What are you doing in Albany

with the Governor?

It's about me, huh?

It's about a monument in Central Park.

What monument?

Your monument, Homer.

I don't want any monument.

Why not?

Well,

because I hate pigeons.

The city wants you to have it.

And I'm glad I told you about it.

I want you to know now and always

that I think you're magnificent.

I wish you wouldn't say that, Wally.

I don't feel magnificent at all.

I know.

And that's what

makes you so magnificent.

Why do we always have to talk about

me and monuments and things?

Why don't we

talk about something cheerful,

like marriage and a home and a family?

- Why, Homer.

- And Steve can give you all that, too.

Steve?

Well, I know you think

he's not the kind to settle down,

but with you, he would.

Who wouldn't with a girl like you?

You're so understanding, and kind,

and sweet,

and beautiful and...

I wish I could think of another word.

Homer, did Steve ask you

to tell me all this?

Well, what difference does that make?

- He's a...

- Did he?

That's pretty hard to answer,

except to say yes.

I think that's the most unselfish

and beautiful thing I ever heard.

Well, Steve's like that, unselfish and...

I wasn't talking about him.

Oh, how could I have been so blind?

I know you'd never lie to me.

You're in love with me, aren't you?

Yes, I am, Miss Cook.

Mr Flagg, will you marry me?

But Steve's in love with you.

No, no, he's the one you should marry.

There's no future in marrying me.

- That's the most heartbreaking...

- No. No.

Oh, what if all we have

is a couple of weeks?

A handful of perfect hours.

- No, no.

- And I'll be there at the end, sailor.

I'll be there saying goodbye.

Yes, yes.

- Steve! Steve!

- Goodbye.

Steve!

- Well, what happened?

- Is it the end?

- Well, he just fainted.

- I'll get out another extra.

Mayor, can you perform

a wedding ceremony tomorrow?

- Why, of course I can.

- Wally.

- You'll be best man.

- Best man?

Mayor...

I tried, Doc, but she wanted me.

You must have tried awfully hard.

I don't feel very good.

Champagne and wedding cake

Oh, what a celebration it will be

There'll be

champagne and wedding cake

The day that you belong to me

Nine foot high and 10 foot wide

The biggest wedding cake

you've ever seen

The champagne bubbles

can solve all your troubles

So try a glass

and you'll know what I mean

Gee, Wally, I...

I don't usually have trouble talking,

and I'm...

But I guess

I do have trouble talking to you.

How do you speak to an angel?

I'm completely in the dark

When you know

that you've just met an angel

is there a proper remark?

We were alone for a moment

Why was I lost in a cloud?

Do you speak to an angel in a whisper?

Or do you just say I love you

out loud?

Do you speak to an angel in a whisper?

Or do you just say I love you

out loud?

I love you, I love you, I love,,,

Hello.

You're really going

to go through with this, huh?

Why shouldn't I? She loves me.

What happens when she gets tired

of waiting for you to keel over?

She loves me. She'll be happy.

And after the wedding,

I'll tell her the whole thing,

and we'll have a big laugh over it.

If you really believe she loves you,

you'll tell her before you marry her.

Yeah? Well, you're just jealous.

And if you want to be a spoilsport,

why don't you tell her?

Oh, sure, why don't we tell everybody?

We're both in this up to our necks.

If this city ever finds out

what kind of a fraud you are,

they'll lock you up

and throw the warden away.

I couldn't do it to you.

Oh, it's awfully big of you.
