Penny Serenade

Don't play that, Applejack.

# I was meant for.... #

- I'm leaving.

- Julie!

Would you go down to the station

and get me a ticket on the 11:00?

And cash that check for me.

Smith will do it for you.

And I'd like you to drive me

to the train.

Julie, you'd better think this over.

I have been thinking it over,

Applejack.

I've been thinking about it for days.

You and Roger have been

married a long time.

We don't need each other anymore.

When that happens to two people...

nothing left.

# You were meant for me. #

# I was meant for you. #

# for you... for you... for... #

# You were meant for me. #

# I was meant for you. #

# for you... for you... for you... #

# You're like a plaintiff melody. #

# That never lets me free. #

# For I'm content the angels

must have sent you #

# and they meant you just for me. #

What can I do for you?

- The record department.

- They're right here.

How about that one up there,

that book?

- Beethoven?

- Yes, the furthest one, see?

Number seven.

Oh, you keep them down here.

- Needles?

- No, no.

- Who plays the sheet music here?

- I do.

-Oh, you do that?

-Hm-hmm.

-Would you mind playing that for me?

-Certainly, I'd be glad to.

# ...plaintiff melody. #

# And I'm content the angels

must have sent you #

# and they meant you just for me. #

New tune, isn't it?

I beg your pardon?

It's a new tune.

Oh, I didn't hear you.

Yes, it just came in.

-Would be nice to dance to.

-It is.

-What's on the other side?

- It's another new one.

- Would you mind playing it for me?

- No.

This way.

# For I'm content the angels

must have sent you #

# and they meant you just for me. #

- Good night.

- Good night.

Buy a flower, mister.

I'm going this way, honest.

I'm going this way, too, honest.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- I live here, that's all.

- Oh.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

Oh...

Would you mind if I ask you

a personal question?

Guess not.

- Have you got a victrola inside?

Why, yes, of course.

Would you let me hear this one?

Otherwise I'll have to take it home

and imagine how it sounds.

- Don't you have a machine at home?

- No.

Well, why on earth did you buy 27...?

# In my dreams it seems #

# your face is near to me... #

# and it's dear to me #

# oh, it's just a memory. #

What are you thinking about?

That it's our song they're playing.

At least that's what you said

when we were dancing.

What are you thinking about?

Oh, just wishing.

Wishing I could be with you

every day like this.

I mean, I wish everyday could be

a holiday like this.

I mean, never have to go back home,

never have to go to work.

It would be perfect, wouldn't it?

- What's it say?

- Oh, nothing. It's silly.

- Come on.

- No, really. It's silly.

Those things are a lot of bunk,

they never come true.

Go on, beat it.

You don't like kids very much,

do you?

Oh, I like them, all right,

except when they're pests.

- What does it say?

- Hm?

- Come on.

- Oh, nothing, nothing.

Come on, tell me.

Come on.

Unromantic.

I thought you said we'd have

the place to ourselves.

Oh, just the ocean.

The beach I couldn't get.

Hey, you're doing all right.

Two or three more lessons

and you'll be able to swim.

You can almost float now.

When your arms are holding me up.

When you're with me, you're safe.

I don't know whether it's safe or not.

I'm darned if I do either.

It must be getting late.

Let's get dressed.

No, there's plenty of time.

I'm thinking about that last train home.

Come on, Roger.

Get dressed.

All right.///

..

...

Joe Connor is here, yet?

Yes.

Joe!

Hi, Joe!

Hello, Homer!

Just off the boat!

Julie, had Jack called ?

That's none of your business!

You don't have to bite my head off!

Oh, I'm sorry!

It may have called, or something!

He said he may get out for a story.

Julie, has he ever said anything?

You know what I mean..

No, not right now.

That's what I thought.

Men never say anything,

you must drag it out of them

Applejack!

Let me take your things!

Put them someplace where

I can grab them faster.

I don't belong here.

Of course you belong here.

Didn't I invite you?

Come on in and meet

some of my friends.

Night's cold...

Is there a drink in the house?

Right off the boat.

That's what the bootlegger said.

- Did he say what boat?

- Well, what boat would you like?

We have all the labels.

Come on, help yourself.

-You?

- Never use it.

You know, this party

may turn out all right at that.

- Where's Roger?

-I thought maybe you'd know.

You're crazy about that reporter,

aren't you?

I'm sort of fond of him.

That's bad.

I hate seeing a nice girl like you

getting mixed up with a newspaper man.

Gosh, you never know

what they're up to.

They can get away with anything,

alibiing their work.

It's a lot of fun docking around

interviewing chorus girls

and all that sort of thing.

You think it's swell getting married...

Applejack, don't worry about me.

I don't need any advice.

I never even thought

about getting married.

- No fooling?

- No fooling.

- Well I've been worried sick.

- About what?

I've been telling him for six months

if he doesn't keep away from you

he'll find himself married.

Julie, I've got to talk to you

right away.

Hello!When dd you get here?

I wanna talk to you!

It's something important to you

Where can we be alone?

Why alone, I'm having fun.

Don't be angry, Julie.

A lot has happened.

That's not a reason to leave from a party,

just before the midnight!

I'm sorry, but I have a million things to do.

I wanna tell you everything.

I've had a real break.

Flynn quit his job over in Tokyo.

He's our Japanese correspondent.

He got fed up with the assignment,

or the weather, or something.

Imagine the spot that left the paper in.

Only one man in the Orient

and he walked out on the job.

Darling, you're cold.

Here, put this around you.

I'm just so excited.

There you are.

You're going to take his place?

That's what they want me to do.

I've got a ticket here for a train

that leaves at 3:00 a.m.

Gets me to San Francisco just in time

to catch the next boat for Yokohama.

I can't believe it yet, Julie.

Imagine them picking me.

You're able, Roger.

You have ability.

Anybody can see that.

You're going, hm?

That's what I want

to talk to you about, honey.

It's a good salary.

Two-year contract.

And I'm more or less my own boss.

It's the kind of opportunity

I've always wanted.

So look, dear, I was wondering...

Listen, little boy.

Of course I want you to go.

If that's what's worrying you,

please don't think...

No, I wasn't worrying about that.

I knew you'd want me

to take the job, sure.

But, Julie...

let's get married.

Let's get married right away, tonight.

I'll be able to send for you in three months.

I'll have the money then.

Three months?

Why the rush to get married now?

Well, do you think I'm going to let

a funny little redhead

like you run around loose here?

Suppose some other fellow

came along...
