All right, I'll get us to a hospital,

Just lie down, take it easy,

You named him Jimmy?

What do you mean,

This is otticial?

You named him Jimmy?

Yeah,

There's one thing I want to tell you

that you're wrong tor doing,

You should have let me decide

on what the name was with you

instead ot just giving the kid

a name right away,

I mean, I am the tather,

and it I am the tather,

no matter what the situation,

you should at least let me do that,

That's the least thing

you could let me do,

And maybe I don't want

to see the kid tor that reason,

What, do you think you're gonna

make me teel guilty about it?

Give that name

to that kid running around,

Atter everything

that's happened with us,

you had to give the kid

the name Jimmy,

No way,

I don't want to see the kid, because

it I see the kid, I'm gonna break up,

I don't want to see something l...

What good is it to see the kid?

I wish this lady wasn't,,,

How could I see the kid?

What am I gonna say to it?

"Hi, I'm your tather,

I'm going away"?

What are you gonna say to him?

I can't say anything,

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, too,

I know,

Jimmy,,,

I don't want to use my handkerchiet,

It's the only one that I have, that's why,

There's no way that it's gonna,,,

I love you,

But it's not,,,

All right, I'm just gonna go,

I'll see you later,

Jimmy, Jimmy,

I don't know what else to say,

- Good-bye,

- Good-bye, baby,

- Good-bye,

- I'm sorry,

I love you,

- Good-bye,

- Good-bye,

That's not possible,

Mr, Doyle, I can take you over

to see your baby now, it you'd like,

Thank you, I think I'll see him

a little later, Thank you,

...Around and round

and around

And round and round

The world goes round

and round and round

And round...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Can I do it again? I'm sorry.

Okay, here we go.

Stand by, take 18.

Sometimes you're happy

And sometimes you're sad

But the world goes round

Sometimes you lose

Every nickel you've had

But the world goes round

Sometimes your dreams

get broken in pieces

But that doesn't alter a thing

Take it trom me

There's still gonna be

A summer, a winter,

a tall, and a spring

And sometimes a triend

Starts treatin' you bad

But the world goes round

And sometimes your heart breaks

With a deatening sound

Somebody loses, somebody wins

One day it's kicks

Then it's kicks in the shins

But the planet spins

And the world goes round

But the world goes round

But the world goes round

Sometimes your dreams

get broken in pieces

But that doesn't matter at all

Take it trom me,

there's still gonna be

A summer, a winter, a spring

And a tall

And sometimes a triend

starts treating you bad

But the world goes round

And sometimes your heart breaks

With a deatening sound

Somebody loses,

and somebody wins

Then one day it's kicks

Then it's kicks in the shins

But the planet spins

And the world goes around

And round and around

And round and round

The world goes around

And round and round

And round

- How do I look?

- Pertect, Mom,

Just a minute, Screw the photograph,

She's very, very nervous,

Happy endings, all around me

Happy endings, all I see are

Happy endings on a silver screen

That's Hollywood

Lovely lady, gallant tellow

Meet one evening,

Troubles come between

But in that tinal scene

Count on a happy ending

By a river

Happy ending, on a mountain

Happy ending,

in a Broadway show

But, oh

The lite I lead is less dramatic

Not remotely cinematic

Happy endings, tar as I can see

Are only tor the stars

Not in the stars tor me

Pardon me, miss, I've a problem

And I wonder, would you help me?

Lost my glove,

and I could use your light

Right,

I was leaving, it's so silly

But I guess I

must have dropped it

All at once,

it seemed to disappear

Here,

Gee, I'm gratetul, and I'd like to

Show you my appreciation

Maybe take you out to dinner

When do you get ott?

I can wait

- No, I couldn't possibly,

- I can wait

- I don't do that...

- I can wait

I can wait

Eight,

Hey, Peggy,

Hey, Peggy,

You sing here?

Sometimes, atter work,

Relieves the stress,

- You've got stress?

- Yes, I guess,

Hey, Peggy,

you gonna sing tonight?

When Mr, Right comes along

Every melody

that sounded so wrong

Will be blended

in a beautitul song

When Mr, Right

Wow, she's wondertul!

Comes along

You're territic, just amazing

What a talent, it's astounding

You should be starred

in a Broadway show

Yes, I know,

But I got tired, tired ot waiting

Tired ot hacking those auditions

Tired ot starving, so I tigured

What's the use?

By the way,,,

What do you do?

You won't believe it

Try me

I produce

I am teeling

Aces high

And it's because ot you that I

Am teeling aces high

We're a king and a queen

in the heavens

No longer at sixes and sevens

But ace,,,

Aces high

By tomorrow, you'll be tamous

Famous,

You'll discover all New York

You'll have a brilliant career

Pink champagne

Instead ot pretzels and beer

And you'll be with me

Everywhere I appear

No, I've done everything tor you

I could possibly do,

You don't need me anymore,

And it I stayed, why I'd be

and most luminous light,

In her own time, a legend, a myth,

Ladies and gentlemen,

And who'd have dreamed

one certain man,

who helped me

when it all began,

and he is the one

you really owe this honor to,

But he's not here,

Peggy

A beautitul song

And I wonder,
