Pin Up Girl Page #2

Synopsis: Glamorous Lorry Jones, the toast of a Missouri military canteen, has become "engaged" to almost every serviceman she's signed her pin-up photo for. Now she's leaving home to go into government service (not, as she fantasizes, to join the USO). On a side trip to New York, her vivid imagination leads her to True Love with naval hero Tommy Dooley; but increasingly involved Musical Comedy Complications follow.

Whatever it is, I'm for it.

Come on. Let's go.

That's our first thrill.

Let's go look for another one.

Will this dream come true

Or bring a blue tomorrow

Time alone will tell

If our romance is real

Or just a springtime spell

For heaven knows

And time will tell

- Bonsoir, mademoiselle.

- We'd like a table, please.

Uh, any little table will do.

In what name did mademoiselle call

to make the reservation?

Oh, well, we didn't think-

Yes, I'm sorry, mademoiselle.

- For this evening, all tables are taken.

- Pierre, no tables?

Bonsoir, madame.

You have reservations, of course.

This way, please.

He gave them a table,

and they didn't have an escort.

When he saw us coming,

he put the rope up.

We should have used our imagination.

We should have-

Lorry, don't. Don't use yours.

You do such awful things with it.

Excuse me, please.

When the gentleman

we were expecting arrives...

tell him the ladies left

because you didn't have a table.

Oui, mademoiselle.

The gentleman's name?

Mr. Tommy Dooley from Guadalcanal.

Certainement, mademoiselle.

Mr. Tommy-Tommy Dooley?

Oh, mademoiselle, there is a mistake!

Of course we have a table for Mr. Dooley.

The best, at the ringside.

Please! This way, s'il vous plait.

Sing if you are in my arms

We'll know it's not a spell

We'll know it's real

But time will tell

How could you look him in the eye and tell him

we were expecting Tommy Dooley?

Well, he's important. The headwaiter knows him.

And it worked. We're in.

Ooh

Time alone

Will tell

Good evening. I'm Eddie Hall.

I hope you liked that number.

Boys played it just for you.

- Gardenias, as big as sunflowers!

- Mm-hmm.

- Uh, d-did you say your name was-

- Eddie Hall.

I'm the owner of the show.

Just a little gift. We present them

to all our important guests.

- Oh, but, Mr. Hall- - That's very nice

of you, and the music was wonderful.

It reminded me so much

of the night I was in Paris.

- Prince Dubonnet had just

asked me to dance- Oh!

- Lorry, don't you think- I mean-

- Pardon me.

Molly and Mr. Dooley just arrived.

Excuse me.

- Lorry-

- Oh! Thank you.

Let's get out of here before

we get into any more trouble.

Don't be silly. He has no way of finding out

whether we know Dooley or not.

Oh, what that'll do to you

with your ideas.

Try it. Go ahead.

Tommy, you old son of a gun!

- Eddie, shake hands with a pal o' mine, Dud Miller.

- Pleased to meet you.

- You're an optimist.

- Molly, we're late with the show.

Will you get out from under that soup plate

and get into your costume?

After my number, I'll be back. Don't let Eddie

bore you. Remember, I saw you first.

Always kidding. Oh, Pierre.

I'll have you seated,

and we'll go on with the show.

- Take Mr. Dooley and his friend to their table.

- Oui, monsieur.

Thanks a million, Eddie, and hurry back.

We want you with us.

Maybe you'll change your mind when you

see what's waiting for you at the table.

What's he mean by that?

A big dinner, of course.

A swell guy like that thinks of everything.

This way, monsieur.

- It's Tommy Dooley.!

- Attaboy, Dooley.!

Dooley.! Dooley.!

Oh, come on!

Let's get out of here!

Mr. Dooley, your guests.

There. Didn't I tell you a guy

like that thinks of everything?

- Thanks. How do you do?

- How do you do?

- Gee, I didn't expect a surprise like this.

- You and us both.

It was nice of Eddie to invite you.

I'm glad you're here.

Oh, thank you, but, well, you see-

I'll bet you two girls are actresses, huh?

- Oh, heavens, no. We're just-

- We're in musical comedy.

- Really? What show are you with?

- Uh, Remember Me.

No, I can't say that I do,

but I just got back in town-

- That's the name of their show here on Broadway.

- We'll have to see it.

Splendid!

We'll get you some tickets.

- I think we'd better be going.

- What's the idea? What did we do?

And besides, we just met.

You don't want to break my heart, do you?

I don't suppose there need be

any rush about it.

Good. At least we've got one thing settled

for the rest of the evening.

When the red red robins

and the bob bobwhites

And pretty bluebirds

sing you out of bed

They're tweet-tweetin' to tell you

In their tweet way

That there's a happier day ahead

When the red red robins

and the bob bobwhites

And pretty bluebirds

chirp their little tune

They're just tryin' to sell you

a bill of goods

But we'll be out of the woods

real soon

When they're whistlin'

on your windowsill

Join along in their familiar song

If you won't

the whippoorwill will

Oh, it's not so easy

to be gay and breezy

When the whole darn world

is in a stew

But to help the morale

won't you be a good pal

Won't you warble a chorus or two

Like the red red robins

and the bob bobwhites

And the bluebirds do

Hep, hep, you cats dig me righteously

Speakin' of birds

it's occurred to me

I know a new bird

who's no bluebird

He can rock it

Wait and see

You've just heard the "jitterbird"

Jivin'in a jumpin'key

Oh, it's not so easy

To be gay, gay

And breezy

When the whole darn world

Is in a stew

But to help the morale

won't you be a good pal

Won't you warble a chorus or two

Like the red red robins

and the bob bobwhites

And the bluebirds do

When the red red robins

And the bob bobwhites

And pretty bluebirds

sing you out ofbed

They're tweet-tweetin'to tell you

In their tweet way

That there's a happier day ahead

When they're whistlin'

on your windowsill

Tra-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la

Join along in their familiar song

If you won't

the whippoorwill will

It's not so easy

to be gay and breezy

When the whole darn world

is in a stew

But to help the morale

won't you be a good pal

And do as they do

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah

But to help the morale

won't you be a good pal

And sing

Sing

Sing like the robins

And the bluebirds do

Ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Oh, don't be uneasy

Just be gay and breezy

When the whole darn world

is in a stew

Like the red red robins

and the bob bobwhites

And the bluebirds

Do

- Wasn't it beautiful?

- Yes, and Miss McKay can certainly put over a song.

- And how!

- She's a swell gal too. She and Eddie will be over to join us.

They will?

Oh, I think that will be wonderful.

- I mean, I wonder if I can make a phone call.

- That's right. Uncle Herman.

He'll never forgive us

for not phoning him.

Hey, wait a minute.

What's the rush?

- Oh, well, we were just going to make a phone call.

- Don't go.

I'll have a phone brought to the table.

Sit down.

I've been talking to your friends,

but I don't think Molly has met them.

- Introduce us.

- Introduce you?

- Yeah.

- Aren't they friends of yours?

I guess we're all a little mixed up.

You see-

- You mean to say you didn't invite these girls here?

- Me? I invited them?

Oh, now I think I'm beginning

to get the angle.

- You figured I'd get lost in the traffic, huh?

- Wait a minute, Molly.

You know that I wouldn't do

anything like that to you for the world.
