Nancy Goes to Rio Page #3

---

- Blah, blah, blah.

Now, skip down to the next scene

and pick it up at:

"It was never love, Emily. "

- Now I'm out here at that time?

- You're here now.

- It was never love, Emily.

- Please, please.

Don't attack that line so loud. Softer.

- You know?

- Right. I get you, yeah.

- All right.

- It was never love, Emily.

It was a clinical experiment.

Sterile emotions in an antiseptic vacuum.

What do you know of love?

- I'll tell you what I know of love. I...

ARTHUR:
Emily's big speech.

Then your reaction and exit.

Now, have you got that?

But, Arthur, you don't even know

whether I know my lines or not.

- You haven't listened to one of my lines.

- Yes, yes. You were fine, dear.

That's all for today.

Everybody, dress rehearsal tomorrow night.

One, two, three. One, two.

Why did you send for me?

I heard you were going away.

There's nothing else I can do, Emily.

She needs me.

Does she love you as much as I do?

SCOTTY:
These aren't things

that can be measured.

In the end, each of us must decide

what he thinks is right.

NANCY:

So you've decided to escape?

Goodbye, Emily.

He'll come back.

There's nothing to come back to.

- It's over.

- You'll find someone else.

Strange, isn't it?

Almost everything that's important

can be measured.

The wise man can measure

the lights years to a star...

...and tell you how many robins

make a summer.

But the really important things

they can't measure at all.

They can't measure a robin's song...

...or tell me why the moonlight

will make me weep.

[SINGING]

Magic is the moonlight

Silver stars above me

Send someone to love me

Show my heart the way

Somewhere in the moonlight

Surely I will meet him

With a smile I'll greet him

And I know he'll stay

Lost within the splendor

Of a kiss

So tender

We will then surrender

To a love divine

Then when love is over

I'll recall a June night

For magic was the moonlight

When the world was mine

Someday

I'll meet

My love

[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]

Frances and I have been close friends

for 20 years.

Now, how am I going to tell her?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- You sent for me?

- Come in, Nancy.

- Sit down.

- No, thanks, I'm not a bit tired.

- Did you like it?

- We have a little surprise for you.

- You're making the old governess younger?

- No.

- I'm the invalid's offstage cough?

- No, we want you to play the part of Emily.

Emily.

- Emily?

- Yes.

Jinkies. Maybe I better sit down.

Oh, gosh, thank you so much.

But I'm afraid I couldn't.

- Why not?

- Is there something else?

Oh, no, no, it isn't that.

- But, well, I'm not good enough.

- Nonsense.

A part as wonderful as this

would scare me to death.

The whole show would depend on me.

Didn't you tell us that you were

the future of the theater?

Oh, but I didn't mean me personally.

Now, Nancy,

I know this isn't going to be easy.

But if you'd go away and memorize

every word of the play...

...then we'll have three weeks

of private rehearsals...

...before the regular rehearsals.

We don't open till next fall,

so you'll have plenty of time.

- I don't know what to say.

- That's it. Don't say anything to anybody.

I don't want this to get out yet.

- Well, if you think I can.

- Good, good.

Congratulations.

Now, as far as anyone is concerned...

...you're only playing the part

of the governess.

- What did you say?

- The governess.

Remember, not a word about Emily.

No.

Well, I guess...

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hey, I've been looking all over for you.

Did you get it?

- What?

- The part of the governess.

Oh.

Oh, yes. Yes, I got it.

- Aw, gee, Nancy, that's wonderful.

- Oh, Scotty, I'm so frightened.

- Frightened?

- It's the part. It's...

We'll work on it together.

I'll cue your lines.

I have to go away.

I've got to live the part.

- Gee, it's only a governess, you...

- Yes, yes, I know, but I...

- Can't you live the part here?

- I need coaching.

- Well, what about Mister...?

- I'm going to the best coach in the world.

My mother.

Oh.

It won't be for long.

Yeah, but Brazil is so far away.

Not if two people love each other.

Oh, golly, do you...?

Do you mean it, Nancy?

Oh, gee.

Gosh.

You know, we're almost engaged.

- Hey.

- Let's not tell anyone about it yet, huh?

- Let's wait till I come back from Brazil.

- Okay.

Hey, kids. Nancy's going to Rio.

- She is?

- Hey!

BOB:
Hey, Dick. Dick. Hey, Dick.

- What?

- Nancy's going to Rio.

- She is?

Hey, Nancy's going to Rio.

- Rio?

- Yeah.

Whoo-hoo!

[SINGING] Nancy's going to Rio

ABCDE-O

Nancy's going to Rio

Far across the sea-o

That's where she will be-o

Me, oh, my, oh, me-o

Nancy's going to Rio

- A ye, aye, aye

CHORUS:
A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

Now, if you go to Rio

Where does that leave me-o?

Far across the sea

Oh, me, oh, my, oh, me-o

CHORUS:
A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

If it strikes my fancy

A- sailin ' south goes Nancy

In my new sombrero

Headin ' for Janeiro

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

Hey! Nothing could be finer

Than to sail a liner

But if it's heavy sailin '

Just lean upon the railin '

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

Eatin ' a banana

Right off the plantation

I'll cement our Pan-American relations

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

It's awful far to Rio

A thousand miles by sea-o

You know I'm gonna miss her

Excuse me while I kiss her

A ye, aye, aye

A ye, aye, aye

Now they're going steady

Scotty's really ready

But how am I gonna take her

South of the equator

My friends, may I have the floor?

On behalf of you all I'm addressing

This bit of advice to our Nancy

Keep the Latins guessing

RUDY:
A ye, aye, aye

CHORUS:
A ye, aye, aye

RUDY:
Bye-bye, bye-bye

CHORUS:
Bye-bye, bye-bye

RUDY:
A ye, aye

CHORUS:
A ye, aye

RUDY:
Bye-bye

CHORUS:
Bye-bye

RUDY:
Cae-cae

CHORUS:
Cae-cae

RUDY:
Cae-cae

CHORUS:
Cae-cae

Cae-cae, cae-cae

Fare thee well, my friends, goodbye

Cae-cae, cae-cae

I'm so happy I could die

CHORUS:
Cae-cae, cae-cae

Fare thee well, my friends, goodbye

Cae-cae, cae-cae

She's so happy she could die

Don't you worry, oh, my sweet

I'll be lonely while I'm there

I am yours unless I meet

A Brazilian millionaire

CHORUS:

Cae-cae, cae-cae

Bon voyage and fond adieu

- Bon nuit

- Au revoir

And a few alohas too

The sun is shining.

The sun is shining...

...as though the whole world

hadn't come to an end.

The sun is shining...

...as though the whole world

hadn't come to an end.

[MOUTHS]

The sun is shining.

The sun is shining...

...as though the whole world

hadn't come to an end.

Excuse me.

[WHISTLING]

[NANCY MOUTHING DIALOGUE]

Nice day, ain't it?

You're the quiet type, huh?

That's the type of gal

that appeals to me.

I got a table

for the entertainment tonight.

- How about you and me...?

- No, thank you.

Oh, come on, I've been watching you.

What you need is some fun.
