Royal Wedding Page #4

And what did they do? Hopped it.

Walked out without paying.

I'll not serve you a drink Sir.

Now stop it Jamie.

To the Royal Couple.

Well, I can't allow Anglo-American

relations to be threatened like this.

I'd like to square that bill.

- Tom you shouldn't.

- Oh, sure. How much is that?

Two pounds ten, let me see.

There you are Sir.

Now there's a gentleman for you. Not

like the other Yank you're so fond of.

Well, you can just add ten bob

and give it to me for mother.

Has she found out

when we go to the Palace yet?

Or is she keeping it from me?

Three pounds Jamie.

You see we sent a little token to the

Royal Highnesses for the wedding.

According to the papers,

anybody who did are allowed

to see the wedding presents.

It's a nice custom.

Three pounds Jamie.

Oh alright. Here.

What you counting for?

Don't you trust me?

Just like her mother, no faith.

You're five shillings short.

Oh, that's what you might

call a typographical error. Here.

Thank you. We'd better go.

Goodnight Jamie.

Goodnight dearie.

Goodnight pal.

Goodnight buddy.

To the Royal Couple.

Thanks.

Looks like Mother

is still up.

Since she and Jamie separated, she

can never get to sleep till I get home.

Let's walk a minute

and get some nice fresh fog...

Who, er, who's the yank

you're so fond of?

Hal Rayton.

He's my fianc.

You don't sound

very happy about it.

Oh I am really.

Is it a secret?

No. Oh, this is ridiculous.

He's in Chicago.

Illinois?

He lives there.

- And you live here?

- Yes.

If you keep that arrangement after

you're married, you'll be very happy.

How long since

you've seen him?

About two years.

Two years!

And you're still in love with him.

I've never thought

of not being.

- Do you hear from him very often?

- Every few days as a rule.

Oh?

Actually, I haven't heard from him

for two months now.

But he's probably been busy.

I wrote to him tonight

and told him I was in your show,

and asked him

to call me opening night.

I assume you have some plans

about getting together in the future?

Oh yes.

Are you going over there?

Is he coming over here?

Or are you going to meet

in the middle?

He works in Ogilvies

department store in Chicago.

Oh, well?

Well, as soon as he makes

enough to send for me

or I make enough to go over there,

we're going to be married.

That's fine.

- You... You don't mind do you?

- Mind what?

My getting married.

I should love to go out with you again,

I had an awfully good time.

So did I.

Of course I don't mind.

Actually

I'm kinda glad you're all tied up,

now we can go out and have fun

without any pressure. Can't we?

Yes I guess so.

Goodnight Anne.

Goodnight Tom.

Mr. Irving Klinger.

We're ready with Mr. Edgar Klinger

in London. Go ahead please.

Hello! Hello! Ed this is Irv,

how are you twinsie?

Buzzing old boy.

Simply buzzing.

I got a fast note by airmail

from Tombo this morning.

He says everything is terrif.

Well, that is good news.

Tell me have you heard

from Tom?

No. How are things?

Absolutely superb.

We should have a fantastic opening

night tomorrow night. Fantastic.

What about Ellen? Tom having trouble

keeping her caged up at night?

Oh no. Quite the contrary,

she's been frightfully conscientious.

Goes straight home

from the theatre each night.

Tom's the one

who's been romping about.

Tom? No kidding. What did he do,

catch himself a chick?

No. No. No.

Tom's quite well.

He's taken a fancy to some girl

in the show. Pretty little thing she is too.

Hey Eddie, call me

after the opening, will you?

The light in the window's

gonna be me sitting and waiting.

I will do old boy.

Don't give it a second thought.

By the by,

how's the Mater?

Oh, Mom's fine.

Oh splendid. Do give her a peck

on the cheek for me.

I gotcha.

Dig you tomorrow night.

Pip now.

Pip Now?

Dig you?

(Crowds cheering)

What's

all the commotion about?

Some regiment that hasn't

paraded its finery in years.

You can just feel

the excitement growing!

The wedding's

only a week off!

I wonder what the groom

is doing this morning?

Well why don't you

call him and ask him?

Very funny.

Well I thought it was.

What time did you get in

last night, lover boy?

Around eleven I guess. I don't know,

I didn't pay much attention.

Well I did.

It was around two.

My! You're a busy little man

these p. M's, aren't you?

We were just having

a few laughs.

Just a few laughs?

That's all.

Ha.

(Door buzzer)

Come in!

Morning.

Johnny!

What a pleasant surprise?

- How are you?

- Fine.

- Hi John.

- Hello Tom.

I thought this was

a good place to see the parade.

We have a sensational view. Before

I forget:
Your ticket for the opening.

Second row

right on the aisle.

Wonderful,

thanks very much.

What time is the parade?

Should pass here any minute.

Ellen, wonderful seeing you again,

how's the show going?

Just fine.

Gee, it's been a long time.

I know four days.

(Noise of bagpipes) Tomorrow after the

opening, Edgar's giving a party.

You're going with me, OK.

- OK. It'll take a little doing though.

- Why?

There's a huge affair being given,

and I'm supposed to take someone.

But you can get out of it, can't you?

This is my opening night.

Besides, if you don't take me,

nobody will.

(Sound of bagpipes,

getting increasingly loud)

I'll get out of it.

You're looking so well these days.

Thank you.

I think about you so much.

I think about you Ellen.

What?

I said I think about you.

It's so different from anything

I ever felt before.

How?

First of all, I'm not interested

in anybody or anything I do.

And that's completely new for me.

Huh?

(Shouting) I said

that's completely new for me.

Ellen, I think

this is getting very serious.

(Sounds of bagpipes fading)

What a parade.

I've never seen anything

like it in my life.

Parade?

Oh it's over.

Wait. I'll tell them

to come back.

Oh ignore him Johnny

I'm so excited

about tomorrow night.

Come on girl we're due

at the theatre, five minutes ago.

Um. In a minute.

Do you realise we've only

Been out at night together,

about three times

since I've been here.

Well.

Come on, come on.

Oh, Just a minute.

What's that your playing Tom?

The song she's supposed be

rehearsing at the theatre, now.

Oh why don't you

rehearse it here?

Oh, that's a good idea.

Is that alright with you Tommy?

Alright.

I wake up and sigh

each morning.

Happy the night's gone by.

I wake up and pray

each morning.

Pray that the day will fly.

And then,

I sit back and smile...

and dream of that day...

when I'll be standing by your side,

my love.

The happiest day of my life.

How my heart will swell

with pride, my love.

The happiest day in a lifetime.

Then, as the last words

are spoken,

the bells

in the steeple will chime.

And I will love you so,

and you will see.

It will be for a lifetime.

Hold it. Hold it, please.

Charlie what time is it?

It's four a.m, Sir.

Oh that's enough. Alright everybody

that will be all for tonight.
