Living It Up Page #9

Synopsis: Pretty Wally Cooper, a reporter for the New York Chronicle convinces her editor to let her do a series of articles on Homer Flagg, a young man from New Mexico who is believed to be dying as a result of radioactive poisoning. Before she arrives out west, Homer learns from his doctor that the diagnosis was a mistake and he's perfectly healthy. That doesn't stop them from accepting Wally's offer of an all- expenses paid trip to New York. Everyone in New York takes pity on Homer, while Homer and his doctor try to keep up their pretense.

- All right, already, I'm not gonna do it,

but don't push me, pal!

Please, for my sake, don't jump!

All right, you talked me out of it,

but don't push!

That way. Go get him!

Oh, no! No!

- Don't jump, Homer.

- No, I won't!

What are you following me for?

Why don't you keep the crowd back?

- Leave me alone, will you!

- Wait a minute!

Homer, don't jump!

- Well, that's what I'm trying to tell them!

- Don't jump!

Help me.

No!

Goodbye, Homer!

May I have a little quiet, please!

Good people of New York,

fellow citizens,

we've come to the end of our quest!

- Bugler!

- Your Honour, step aside, please.

Listen! They're playing my song!

It's such a nice ceremony. It kind of

makes me feel like I should lie down.

You know, the nicest thing the Mayor

ever did was to marry us in secret.

- Goodbye. Don't work too hard.

- I won't.

Steve, do you think it's safe

that we hang around New York like this?

I know the Mayor gave us these jobs,

but after all, everybody knew me.

Homer, you were just a flash in the pan

in old Manhattan.

In a week,

they will have forgotten your name.

In fact, you don't even need these.

Well, if that's the case,

we might as well go to work.

Every street's a boulevard

in old New York

So keep smiling

and you'll never wear a frown

Just remember there's the East Side

and the West Side

And Uptown and Down
