Pennies from Heaven Page #6

Oh, I wish we could

be good friends.

- You couldn't be a friend of mine.

- Why not?

Because you don't get along

with Larry.

He's the most intimate friend I've got

in the world...

and you're against him.

No, I'm not. Mr Carmichael fired me

because I stood up for him.

You did?

And I had nothing to do with you being

sent here. I didn't even know about it.

Why, you didn't see me at

the court hearing, did you?

Larry always said as soon

as he could get rid of you...

he's gonna take me

and Gramp to Venice.

That's in Italy.

He thought maybe over there

they'd leave him alone.

That's the ambition of his life...

to be let alone.

Do you know

the ambition of my life?

To get you to like me and trust me

and not run away every time you see me.

- But I...

- Come closer.

I want to tell you something.

Oh, no, real close.

It's a secret.

Promise never to tell

a living soul, especially Larry.

Well...

I like Larry very much.

And I like you too.

I always have.

Oh, Miss Sprague.

- Perhaps he's asleep.

- I'll see.

Oh, dear!

Look, Crowbar, you know all

the circus people around here.

You round them up to play a benefit

at the orphanage. I'll do the rest.

- Mrs Howard.

- Good afternoon.

It was so generous

of the carnival people...

to come here and give

this show for the children.

They're having

the time of their lives!

Why aren't you down in the yard

with the rest of the children?

I wanna stay up here.

The circus people have been kind enough

to give a special show for us.

- It'll be starting in a few minutes.

- I don't care.

The yard's full of clowns

and jugglers and acrobats.

Bet there's a cage

full of wild animals.

I hope they run loose

and kill a few people.

There's a golden chariot

and performing pigs...

and the fattest woman in the world

and the tallest man.

I'm sure you'd have

an awfully good time.

How can you have a good time

when your heart's breaking?

- Hearts do not break.

- That's all you know about it.

I take it, then,

you don't intend to come down.

No, I swore I'd never leave this room

till they carried me out dead!

Well, goodbye then.

Every time it rains

it rains

Pennies from heaven

Don't you know

each cloud contains

Pennies from heaven

Now listen.

I know you got other things

to think about...

but can't you find some way

to get me out of here?

Can't you think of something?

- Be sure that your umbrella

- Can't you...

Is upside down

Get yourself a package of

Sunshine and flowers

If you want

the things you love

You must have showers

One, two

Button your shoe

Put on your coat and hat

I play a game like that

While I'm waiting for you

Three, four

Open the door

Hurry, for heaven's sake

I count each step you take

While I'm waiting for you

Five, six, my heart does tricks

as I picture all your charms

Seven, eight

You're at the gate

And you walk into my arms

Oh, nine, ten

Kiss me again

Tell me you get a thrill

Just as I hope you will

While I'm waiting for you

One, two

Button up your shoe

Put on your coat

and your hat

I play a game like that

While I'm waiting for you

Three, four, open the door

Now hurry, dear

Hurry, for heaven's sake

I count each step you take

While I'm waitin'for you

Oh, five, six

Now my heart does tricks

as I picture all your charms

Seven, eight

You're at the gate

And you make me dizzy when you're

walking right into my arms

Nine, ten, kiss me again

Tell me you get such a thrill

Just as I hope you will

while I'm waitin'for you

- Hi. Now, here's the plan.

- What plan?

- You're checking out of here.

- Larry! And I thought she was kiddin'.

- Who was kidding?

- Susan Sprague.

She promised

she'd get me out of here.

Get you out of here? If it wasn't

for her, you wouldn't be here.

That female Iscariot framed you

the moment I turned my back.

That's what I thought. But she said

she didn't have anything to do with it.

- She even lost her job because of us.

- How do you know?

She was in to see me,

and she told me.

- And she said that she... Oh. Oh.

- Well, what did she say?

Well, she made me promise not to tell

a living soul, especially you.

- Tell me! Tell me now!

- Oh, it's nothing important.

It's a secret.

Do you want me to break my word?

I'll break your neck

if you don't tell me. Come on.

Well, she said she liked you...

a lot, an awful lot.

She says the first time she saw you,

she fell in love with you.

And the more she saw you

the worse it got.

- And she said that...

- Now listen.

If you're lying to me, I'm gonna let you

stay in this place till you're 108!

Oh, but I'm not lying, Larry.

I'd never tell a lie.

Now look, here's

what we're gonna do.

She ate too much spinach.

Come here.

Come on. Make it fast.

Come on!

Five, six...

seven, eight...

nine, ten.

That's the man.

Susan Sprague's in New York, and

that's the place to find Larry Poole.

Come in.

- Miss Sprague?

- Yes.

- We're from the police department.

- What can I do for you?

Now don't be alarmed. We just came up

to get a little information.

- What about?

- We're trying to find a Larry Poole.

Well, what makes you think

that I know his whereabouts?

The last thing he said before he left

was that he was gonna look for you.

What do you want him for?

What are the charges against him?

Who said there was a charge?

We wanna have a few words

with the man, that's all.

I suppose that anything

I say will be used against me.

Not at all.

We got nothin' on you.

It's Larry Poole we're after.

All you've got to do

is tell us where he is.

Well, to the best of my information

and belief, Mr Poole is in...

- Venice.

- Venice?

That's in Italy.

Come in.

- Here's your laundry.

- Thanks.

What's that?

That's a map

of New York City.

What are all those

little pins for?

Oh, that's a long story.

I've got plenty of time.

Well, each one of those little pins

represents a backyard.

I'm making sort of a tour

of all the backyards in New York City.

- What for?

- I'm looking for somebody.

- Are you a G-man?

- No.

- Who are you looking for?

- A girl.

- When you find her, what'll you do?

- Do you have to know?

But I'd like to know.

You've got me all excited.

Listen, if I tell you,

will you keep it to yourself?

Oh, sure.

If I find that girl,

I'm going to get down on my knees...

and apologize to her

for being such a fool...

as to misunderstand her

for even a moment.

I'm going to ask her

to forgive me.

If you'll excuse me, I've got

a lot of backyards to cover today.

The breeze runs after you

When you're passing by

It wants to be near

And so do I

The willow bows to you

Forgetting to cry

It waits for your smile

And so do I

All the world's at your command

What wouldn't it do

For one look at you

And I'm

That way too

The rose that you caress

Is willing to die

It loves you so very much

And so

Do I

Oh, am I glad I found you.

- You know I was down to my last pin?

- What pin?

Wait till I get my breath.
