Nancy Goes to Rio Page #9

---

- It's nice to see you again.

- It's nice to see you again.

- Do you still wanna see Rio?

- I'm dying to.

I can be ready in a minute.

And Paul's such a wonderful guide.

No one can show you Rio

the way he can.

Well, perhaps I'd better not go.

Oh, please come.

I want you to start getting used to him.

- She won't be in the way, will she, Paul?

- No. No.

- All right, I'll go.

- Good, we'll all go.

- Fine.

- Come on, darling. We'll get ready.

- Do you like him?

- Oh, very much.

He'll make you a wonderful son-in-law.

Look, we're almost

at the top of the mountain.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, Paul.

I wonder what they're laughing about.

Oh, Paul.

- I wonder what they're laughing about.

- I don't know.

FRANCES:

It's been a wonderful week, hasn't it?

NANCY:
Dreamy.

- I think I'll get some bicarbonate.

Had fun tonight, huh, Father?

Say, that Rio mule's got a kick in it.

- Wasn't it a heavenly evening?

- Yes, dear.

- Doesn't he dance divinely?

- Yes, dear.

Mother, wouldn't Rio be

a very romantic place for a honeymoon?

Yes, I think it would be wonderful.

Whose honeymoon?

Paul's and mine.

Nancy, you're not serious

about marrying Paul.

Why, certainly I am.

He's serious. He proposed to me.

But it's ridiculous.

That a man would propose to me?

Oh, Mother, you're old-fashioned.

You don't seem to realize it,

but I've grown up.

Really?

Well, according to our modern calendars,

young lady, you are still 17 years old.

Well, I'm not really 17.

You know I've always been older.

Paul Berten

is much too old for you, Nancy.

He doesn't think so.

What about Scotty?

Oh, Scotty's a sweet boy,

but he could be my son.

Well, maybe you and Paul

could adopt him.

I know Paul and I

will be very happy, Mother.

We love each other so much.

Oh, it's different with you.

You're married to the theater

and don't need anything else.

- But I am not married...

- Don't worry, darling.

Paul knows what he's doing.

I'll let you know

as soon as we make our wedding plans.

Thank you.

- Good night, Mother.

- Good night, Nancy.

- Good morning, sir.

- Good morning.

- Hello there.

- Oh, hello.

I was just having a look at the view.

Hey, these new bathing suits,

they're quite...

Yes, sir. Yes.

Alfredo, would you take these

to Miss Elliott for me?

- Certainly.

- Alfredo, she's in the library.

- Yes.

- And these to Miss Nancy.

- She's in the garden somewhere.

- Come in.

- Almost ready?

- Almost.

- How do I look?

- Oh, I like that dress.

Oh, I hope Paul likes it.

This is the most important night of my life.

[MUSIC PLAYS IN DISTANCE]

NANCY:

Oh, the carnival's starting.

Come on, girls. Paul's here.

Let's not keep him waiting.

My word,

the two most beautiful girls in the world.

[SINGING] When you are out on the street

Out in the tropical heat

You'll fall in love with a song

With a wonderful beat

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

It's got the kind of appeal

That turns your head like a wheel

And what a wonderful feeling

That feeling you feel

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Your heart will beat like a bongo

Just like what's beating in mine

The heat of the sun

May be 101

But you'll make it 109

And there is more to it yet

I'm gonna bet you a bet

That you can pack up and go

But you'll never forget

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Here comes that vendor Manuel

He has umbrellas to sell

And everybody has fun

When they hear that funny man yell

A green umbrella

Blue umbrella

A red umbrella

Many shades and many types

Polka dots and yellow stripes

Help to keep you on your feet

Shade you from the tropic heat

Everybody's got one, got one, got one

Everybody's got one, got one but me

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-ta

CHORUS:
The heat of the sun

May be 101

But she'll make it 109

But there is more to it yet

I'm gonna bet you a bet

That you can pack up and go

But you'll never forget

Pa-pa-tik-tik-ta

Tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-ta

Ka-ka-krum-pa-pa

Tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-ta

Tik-tik-tum, tik-tik-tum

A -riki-tik-tik-tum, tik-tik-tum

- Shall we dance?

- Oh, I ' d love to.

It's my turn now.

- Grandfather. Grandpa, I ' d like to dance.

- You go right ahead, my dear.

- With you, silly.

- But I don't do these modern ones.

- Come on, I'm gonna teach you.

- Don't go away.

- I've got to talk to you alone.

- All right.

Not here. Let's go out on the terrace.

I wonder where Paul is.

You never mind Paul.

Pay some attention to your grandfather.

- There's such a full moon out tonight.

- Yes, and never mind the full moon too.

FRANCES:
This is a wonderfully exciting city.

- I told you you'd like it.

What did you want to talk to me about?

Frances...

The fact of the matter is I need help.

Yes, Paul?

Nancy is such a wonderful girl.

I realize how close you and she are...

...and I wouldn't do anything

in the world to break that up.

You believe that, don't you?

Yes.

Well, I'm afraid

I'm not doing this very well...

...but, Frances, I...

I want you to understand that I think

this might be very good for Nancy.

She could use a father.

A father?

Frances, I'm trying to tell you

that I love you.

Oh, Paul.

- Will you marry me?

- Yes.

Paul, I can't marry you.

- Is there someone else?

- Nancy. I couldn't do this to her.

- She's in love with you too.

- That's ridiculous. She only thinks she is.

- But you did propose to her.

- That's her imagination.

- Frances, you do love me?

- Yes, I do.

But I can't hurt Nan.

I know that.

But supposing I could prove to you

that Nancy is not in love with me...

- ... would you marry me?

- Of course I would.

All right, then, I'll prove it to you.

[FANFARE PLAYS]

Ladies and gentlemen,

we have a big surprise for you.

Miss Nancy Barklay from the United States,

she's gonna sing a lovely song for us.

Oh, come on, Paul.

[SINGING "MUSETTA'S WALTZ"]

- That was beautiful.

- I'm glad you liked it.

- That was lovely.

- Thank you, Paul.

- I've got to talk to you.

- Yes, I've got to talk to you.

- Will you excuse us, Mother?

- Yes, dear.

I've got something very important

to say to you, Nancy.

Oh, have you?

I'm so glad there's a full moon tonight.

It's so romantic.

The moon has nothing to do

with what I'm going to say.

Oh, but it helps a lot, doesn't it?

Nancy, I want you to pretend it's raining.

All right, darling, it's raining.

No, no, no. I mean...

- Look, things can't go on this way.

- Of course they can't, darling.

That night on the boat

when I proposed to you...

- I mean, when you thought I...

- Well, I was young and foolish then.

- But now I know what I want.

- You can't be in love with me.

Is that what you've been afraid of,
