One Touch of Venus Page #4

Too soon, too soon

Speak low

When you speak love

Our moment is swift like ships adrift

We're swept apart too soon

Speak low

Darling, speak low

Love is a spark lost in the dark

Too soon, too soon

Time is so old

And love so brief

Love is pure gold

And time a thief

We're late

Darling, we're late

The curtain descends

Everything ends

Too soon, too soon

I wait

Darling, I wait

Will you speak low

Will you speak low

To me?

Sunday papers here!

Get your Sunday morning papers!

Get your Sunday papers here!

Papers!

Hello, Stammers.

Where's the great white father?

He's with the detective.

In the bedroom, miss.

He'll find plenty of clues in there.

Hi, gumshoe.

Your handcuffs are showing.

- Open up, sire.

- Come on in, Molly.

Try every school and university in Europe.

The guy I want is an old professor

named Ludavicci Fassoli.

I met him once in Prague.

He must be 90 if he's alive.

He's the author of a famous volume called

The Strange Legends and Myths

Surrounding the Anatolian Venus.

What do I care what it costs?

I want some action on this!

Right. Well, keep in touch.

Had a chat with Kerrigan.

He's been looking into Hatch's background.

How'd you sleep last night?

- Not a wink.

- I didn't think so.

At least it took your mind

off cold marble for a while.

Just what is that supposed to mean?

The little bundle tucked away

in the model home.

She should be a sensation

during January clearance sales.

What on Earth are you talking about?

I've got to hand it to you.

She's an eyeful.

You mean there's a girl downstairs?

Look, this is Molly.

Who is she?

Somebody I know?

Yeah, Goldilocks.

She ate the porridge

and now she snoozes

under the model sheets

on the model bed in the model home.

We'll see about that!

I'm not running a motel

for homeless girls.

Hey, boss, wait for me!

It's no fire, boss,

just a simple, old-fashioned eviction.

She'll still be there.

Only long enough for me

to throw her out bodily.

The idea of a woman

breaking into Savory's.

So unnecessary.

Don't you want to wake--

Molly...

That girl, she...

she reminds me of someone.

Yeah? I wish she reminded me of me.

She's the most beautiful creature

I've ever seen.

Molly, I've always been

able to count on you.

This time you must not fail me.

On your honor?

Don't wake her.

When she does get up,

her dreams must come true.

Get flowers, clothes, jewelry, everything.

Promise me?

I'll be right back.

Good morning.

Oh, hello, Joe.

- Where are you going so early?

- Out.

Hey, Eddie, what happened last night?

When Gloria and I came back,

you were gone.

Where'd you go?

Look, Joe, there's something

I got to talk to you about.

You're my best friend, aren't you?

Well, I'm not so sure, Eddie.

Well, I can trust you, can't I, Joe?

Look, Eddie...

there's something you've just got to know.

It's Gloria.

Yeah, it's Gloria.

But it was the music or something--

Yeah, the music.

It-- It did something to you.

All of a sudden, for no reason,

you found yourself kissing her.

Yeah, that's right.

But remember, it wasn't her fault.

Oh, yes, it was, Joe.

She-- She does something to you.

- She sure does.

- Oh, thanks, Joe.

You're a pal. You understand.

You won't tell Gloria

anything about it, will you?

Me? Gloria? Understand what?

About my kissing the statue.

She wouldn't understand.

Eddie, you kissed a statue?

Well, she wasn't a statue then.

Who wasn't a statue?

Venus, of course!

She was here last night.

She took a bubble bath.

You gave a statue a bubble bath?

Oh, no, Joe, she took it herself.

I didn't give it to her.

Look, Eddie, I think your fever's

coming back or something.

I've got to get back to the model home

and get her out of bed!

Look, Eddie--

Wait for me.

Don't worry about having me

come down today, Miss Grant.

I don't mind.

He'd get the sultan out of bed.

Well, I guess these rags are the gladdest.

I hope you won't get into any trouble

doing all these things for me.

He told me to give you anything you need.

From where I stand,

you don't need a thing.

You know, the funniest thing

happened to me last night.

Me, too.

I was out with someone.

Oh? Your sweetheart?

Oh, no. That's what's so funny.

He was just a friend.

But all of a sudden--

He was the right one.

I just meet the wrong ones.

I just can't figure it out.

One day you're out with someone

who isn't anybody special,

and then he makes you feel

like everybody else is...

well... nobody.

You know the way you feel

When there is autumn in the air

That's him

That's him

The way you feel when Antoine

Has finished with your hair

That's him

That's him.

You know the way you feel

When you smell fresh bread baking

The way you feel when

your aching back stops aching.

Wonderful world

Wonderful you

That's him

That's him.

That's him.

He's simple as a breeze

that blows in summer

He's natural... not actory.

He's like a plumber

when you need a plumber.

He's satisfactory

You know the way you feel at movies

When the lights grow dimmer

The way you feel when overnight

your hips grow slimmer.

Wonderful world, wonderful you

- Say!

- C'est Paris!

Say New York, Savory.

In the darkest caves and hallways

I would know him always

'Cause I would see

that he's the one for me

How could I pass by him

When I'd identify him

So easily?

Because that's he!

You know the way you feel

about the "Rhapsody In Blue"

His eyes are blue.

His eyes are brown.

His are on the town.

The way you feel about a hat

created just for you.

That's him.

That's him.

He's Christmas

He's caviar.

He's a Coke with cherry

Let's face it, girls, he's a man.

He's necessary

Wonderful world

Wonderful you

That's him

That's him

- That's him.

- That's him.

- That's that.

- Oops! No shoes.

Okay, my little quarterback,

you're still carrying the ball.

Shoe department, size 4-1/2.

4-1/2? Ridiculous.

Well, the stage is set.

I'll go get Romeo.

Hey, Eddie!

Look-- Look, Eddie,

I don't really think you're,

well, crazy or anything.

I just think you're a little overworked.

I'm gonna be all right just as soon

as I can get her out of here.

But why did you bring a girl

up here in the first place?

Oh, Joe! Don't ask me any questions.

I don't know the answers myself.

- Look, Joe, you're my pal, aren't you?

- Yeah.

Well, you stay here.

And if anybody comes, you be my lookout.

Give me a whistle or something.

- Give me a warning.

- Oh, look, Eddie--

Venus?

Your Majesty?

Venus, where are y--

This is no time for games.

Of all the dresses you gave me,

I like this one the best.

Dresses? I gave you?

You don't like it?

Of course not!

I'll be fired! Take it off!

I'm in enough trouble al--

Take it off?

- Hi, Gloria.

- Hi, Joe.

- Where are you going?

- Oh, I'm going to the model home.

Come on! You've got to--

What are you doing?

What are you--

What are you doing?

You didn't like it.

Oh! I love it!

Honest, I love it!

Just put it back on and get out!
