Neptune's Daughter Page #4

---

My heart beats faster, faster

Faster than I have ever felt it do

You bring me madness, madness

Beautiful madness every little while

When you pass by

And you smile

My heart beats faster, faster

Not its own master

When I hear your voice

My heart hears music, music

Music for dancing

And it has no choice

And if I never kiss you

Tell me, what can my poor heart do?

But just beat faster and faster

Until it breaks

In two

There, that's better.

How does it feel, Linda?

Fine, unless I breathe.

Miss Felligi, we ought to have it a little

lower here and a little bit higher there.

- Right.

- Eve, I've gotta talk to you.

Oh, come on in, Joe. I'll just be

a moment. That's all. Thank you.

- I'll take care of the sketches, Miss Felligi.

- Yes, Miss Barrett.

- Where were you last night?

- Where were you this morning?

I was getting over last night.

I spent three hours with the president

of the club waiting for you.

- And you waited in the bar.

- Can I help it if he likes television?

I'm sorry, Joe.

I had something else to do.

Oh, I suppose last night

wasn't important.

Well, of course it was, Joe,

but, well, this was personal.

Oh, personal, eh?

Joe, lower your eyebrows.

I'm strictly a career gal.

The only interest I have in men is whether

or not they whistle at our bathing suits.

You know that.

Oh, now you're talking.

You know, honey, love has ruined more big

business than the Sherman Antitrust law.

Unless, of course, one partner

happens to be in love with the other.

I have a picture of Sears

falling in love with Roebuck.

That's not what I meant.

I'll pick you up at 8:00 sharp.

And this time, my little webfoot, I'll deliver

you to the president of the club personally.

Yes, master, yes.

Matilda, where's my little white coat?

Last time I saw it, it was going

through that door on Miss Betty.

Oh, I see. Where was Miss Betty going

when she went through the door?

To the other door.

Said she had to get out before you got in.

Well, do you know where she was going?

I wouldn't fill out an affidavit,

but I have an idea.

I eavesdropped a phone call.

- To whom?

- A Mr. Jose O'Rourke.

Said she'd meet him

at his apartment tonight. Alone.

Matilda, are you sure?

Sure, I'm sure. I heard it

with my own two little pierced ears.

Well, that scheming, calculating...

- Miss Barrett. What an expected pleasure.

- I'll bet it is.

Well, where is she?

- Who?

- My sister Betty, of course.

- Oh, is she loose again?

- You know perfectly well she is.

Don't tell me that she isn't here,

because I know she is.

- Miss Barrett, I gave you my word, l...

- Your word.

- What does your word mean?

- Oh, to me it means a great deal.

Why don't you sit down,

have a nice drink and cool off, huh?

Mr. O'Rourke, I wouldn't drink with you

if you were the last man on earth.

Well, what an interesting possibility.

Will you tell my sister

to come out of your closet?

There is nothing in my closet

except a few suits...

...one of which is minus a button.

At home, we have a skeleton.

- She's probably under the bed.

- I suggest you look.

I intend to.

You know, in my country,

that practice is confined to old maids.

- Your button.

- Would you like to sew it on?

Oh, would you care for a shower?

Shirts, shorts, pajamas

and miscellaneous.

Very, very funny. What about

the other door, the one in the living room?

- Miss Barrett, please.

- I thought so.

- Well, one would think you didn't trust me.

- And one would be so right.

- Now, kindly step aside.

- Miss Barrett, I am a gentleman.

Step aside.

Very well. You win.

- Well, you do have a date with her?

- With your sister? No. Believe me.

Now, I will take it as an apology...

...if you sit down

and have that drink with me. All right?

I'm sorry.

I'm not that sorry.

A lovely lady, soft music...

...a warm summer's evening.

You know, for an evening

that started out so badly...

...it has definite possibilities.

No, no, no, before you drink,

you must always say, "Salud."

You know, l...

- You know, on second thought...

- Yes?

- I really can't stay

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- I've got to go away

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- This evening has been

- Been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice

I'll hold your hands

They're just like ice

- My mother will start to worry

- Beautiful, what's your hurry?

- My father will be pacing the floor

- Listen to the fireplace roar

- So, really, I'd better scurry

- Beautiful, please don't hurry

- Well, maybe just a half a drink more

- Put some records on while I pour

- The neighbors might think

- But, baby, it's bad out there

- Say, what's in this drink?

- No cabs to be had out there

- I wish I knew how

- Your eyes are like stars right now

- To break the spell

- I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

- I ought to say, "No, no, no, sir"

- Mind if I move in closer?

- At least I'm gonna say that I tried

- What's the sense of hurting my pride?

- I really can't stay

- Oh, baby, don't hold out

- But it's cold outside

- Baby, it's cold outside

- I simply must go

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- The answer is no

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- The welcome has been

- How lucky that you dropped in

- So nice and warm

- Look out the window at that storm

- My sister will be suspicious

- Gosh, your lips look delicious

- My brother will be there at the door

- Waves upon a tropical shore

- My maiden aunt's mind is vicious

- Gosh, your lips are delicious

- Or maybe just a cigarette more

- Never such a blizzard before

- I've got to get home

- But, baby, you'd freeze out there

- Say, lend me a comb

- It's up to your knees out there

- You've really been grand

- I thrill when you touch my hand

- But don't you see?

- How can you do this thing to me?

- There's bound to be talk tomorrow

- Think of my lifelong sorrow

- At least there will be plenty implied

- lf you caught pneumonia and died

- I really can't stay

- Get over that old doubt

- But it's cold outside

- Baby, it's cold outside

- I really can't stay

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- I've got to go away

- But, baby, it's cold outside

- This evening has been

- Been hoping that you'd drop in

So very nice

I'll hold your hands

They're just like ice

- My mother will start to worry

- Beautiful, what's your hurry?

- And Father will be pacing the floor

- Listen to the fireplace roar

- So, really, I'd better scurry

- Beautiful, please don't hurry

- Maybe just a little drink more

- Put some records on while I pour

- The neighbors might think

- But, baby, it's bad out there

- Say, what's in this drink?

- No cabs to be had out there

- I wish I knew how

- Your eyes are like stars right now

- To break the spell

- I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

- I ought to say, "No, no, senor"

- Mind if I move in closer?

- At least I'm going to say that I tried

- What's the sense of hurting my pride?

- I really can't stay
