Moon Over Miami Page #3

You started something

Yes, you did

But you didn't even try to

You smiled, and my heart

began to fly to the moon

You started something

Yes, you did

But you didn't even know it

And now, I'm as wacky

as a poet in June

I believe in fairy tales

I believe in Santa Claus

I believe

that dreams come true

I do, because

You started something

Yes, you did

But you didn't know what I knew

I knew right away

that you were my new romance

Come on. Get up, you lug.

You've slept long enough.

Come on! Come on.

All he does is sleep around here.

- Oh, isn't he wonderful?

- Well, I made it.

When I see him standing there,

so straight and sleek and handsome.

So clear-eyed

and happy at seeing me.

All I can think of

is endearing names.

- Well, anyway, this is Miss Latimer.

- How do you do?

How do you do?

And how do the... thumbs do?

You see, Latimer,

it's all so utterly senseless.

I don't know why I like him myself,

but I won't stand here to quibble about it.

I'm strangely lacking

in tiger blood.

I was using that chair

for my feet, but you can use it.

Well, thanks.

Uh, it's a lovely party, isn't it?

Ooh.

What's the matter?

If you're gonna sit there and talk about

the party, I'd rather put my feet back.

How would you like to-

How would you like to

buy me a drink?

- I'd like it very much. Jack, Jack.

- Yes, sir.

A little nourishment

please, hmm?

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Thanks, Jack.

- Oh, uh, yes, sir.

Very well.

- Here's to you, lassie.

- Thanks, laddie.

Now, just who are you?

- Oh, just a girl.

Very out of the ordinary.

- Mm-hmm.

Jack tells me you got

a lotta dough.

Oh, I do all right, thanks.

You know, you're-

You're not very pretty.

Sorry.

No, it's not a beautiful face

by a long ways.

- Cute, maybe, for people

who like cuteness.

- Go on.

Oh, I am. I've, uh, been

noticing your figure.

Oh, well, thank you.

Mmm. That's practically perfect.

But it has no poetry.

It's built on, uh,

architectural principles.

Like the sculpture

on radiator caps.

You want this chair back

pretty badly, don't you?

Your voice isn't pitched

very nicely either.

Suits your personality,

but that doesn't make it good.

Anything else?

Yes.

I think you're wonderful.

And I hope I fall in love with you.

I can hardly wait.

Oh, there you are, Kay.

Forgive me.

- I didn't know you were alone.

- Yeah, sad, isn't it?

You know, I get so tired of

looking at that face of yours.

I find myself a girl, and the first

thing I know, you've got her.

I like your girl,

if she is your girl.

- She is. Definitely. Ask her.

- Are you?

Yes, Jeff.

I think I am.

Fine. I feel

just like annoying you.

- Come on. Know how to dance?

- No, no. But I've always

wanted to learn.

This is the first

of those six lessons.

Very funny.

You started something

Yes, you did

But you didn't even try to

- Oh, Barney.

- Yes, Mr. Bolton.

Pittsburgh calling

Mr. McNeil.

- Pittsburgh, sir?

- Uh, yes! Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh.

Must be that redhead from Pittsburgh

calling him. Sit down.

He'll never find us here.

I think Pittsburgh's

the redhead.

He has so many, many girls

scattered all over the country.

From what you say, he must be

very attractive to some women.

Wait a minute. I didn't want to give

you a good impression about him.

After all,

the McNeil steelworks, you know.

Some girls will put up with

an awful lot if a fellow's got money.

Yes, isn't it awful?

I could never understand.

The trouble is, he hasn't

got any mind of his own- about women.

Like with you tonight. He never

knows a good one unless somebody

else picks her out first.

He'd leave other people's girls alone

if he had any sense of decency.

The trouble is, he hasn't.

I've got you all to myself

Here we are, alone

And I can't think of a thing

better than that

I've got you all to myself

Now we're on our own

It's all like pullin' a dream

out of a hat

My lucky day is here

No one else is near

And it seems that we're

Somewhere in the stratosphere

I've got you all to myself

And I mean all to myself

'Cause now, at last

I've got you alone

Good evening, friends

I thought you said

this thing could jump.

It can jump plenty. I'm not gonna

take chances with you in it.

Aw, come on. Give it the gun.

Let's have some excitement.

- Oh, no.

- Hey.! Sweetheart.!

Hey!

- Do it again, Jeff!

- All right!

Aah!

I'm, uh, not by

any chance intruding, am I?

- Did you two want me to be alone?

- How'd you guess?

Uh, tell me. You don't happen

to have a sister, do you?

- Uh, a sister?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- ForJeff.

Oh! No, no.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, one of you, then the other,

day after day, that's all right with me.

Yeah, but, uh, tomorrow's my day.

Just remember that.

Now, wait. I may have

something to say about that.

I'm afraid, old fellow, I'm awfully

afraid, you're going to miss us.

- Garon.

- Hey.!

You can't have a picnic

without me! And the lunch!

Get us in there quick.

Come on. Hurry up.

- Your ticket, please.

- I'll get one when we come back.

- I'm sorry. That's too late.

- Now, look, bud. Let's not be technical.

Hey, you-

Now if you'll give me your

attention, I shall explain

the wonders that meet the eye.

- And don't be afraid to ask questions.

- All right.

What kind of fish

are those?

Uh, uh, those are

clupea sapidissima.

- Are you sure?

- Are you?

- Then I'm sure.

- Oh, Phil, look.

You'll find, madam, that under water,

everything is reversed.

On land, there's a tendency

for the male to pursue the female.

- Perhaps you've, uh, noticed that.

- Yes, sir.

Well, down here, as you see,

Neptune is pursued by mermaids...

technically known

as mare nympha.

- Say, you're pretty good

with that Latin, aren't you?

- Oh, yes, yes.

I'm an old amo, amas, amat man.

Amo, amas, amat?

Yeah. I love, you love, he loves.

Say, I'm getting into

kind of deep water down here.

Oh, this is fun, Phil.

- I'm glad you're enjoying it.

- Well, aren't you?

I don't know.

Looking at those fish has, uh, sort of

made me feel about as foolish as they look.

Oh, maybe it's the altitude

down here that affects you.

No. Something has

affected me though.

All this clowning around

suddenly has lost its kick.

Well, I thought that was about

all you wanted in life.

I wouldn't suspect you

of having a-a serious side.

Nobody knows anything about anybody.

Didn't you know that?

No. But I'm learning.

- And, uh-

- What?

- I'm glad you told me.

- Why?

Well, it becomes you,

mister.

Kay, listen-

I give up!

Did you get them figured out?

How do we stand?

Well, to pay the hotel bill up
