Royal Wedding Page #5

I'm sorry to keep you

working so late.

What about

our last two numbers, Tom?

We don't have to rehearse those.

You were fine this afternoon.

I thought so too. The show

looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Not bad. Anne!

Yes?

Don't forget tomorrow night.

The opening, how could I?

Oh yes, do try to make that

we'd love to have you.

I meant afterwards. Edgar's

giving a party, we'll go together.

Oh Tom I can't.

You can't. Why not?

Hal is calling.

Oh that's right. I forgot all about him.

Well it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't bother, except I haven't heard

from him for such a long time now,

and I do have

to talk to him.

Taking the bus home

tonight Anne?

I'll be right with you.

Sorry Tom.

Oh, that's alright.

(Male voice)

What time tomorrow Sir?

Three o'clock for the company.

Eleven for Miss Bowen and me.

Eleven?!

What for, Tom?

I want to take those two numbers

we didn't do tonight.

I thought you were

satisfied with them.

There's still

a few rough spots.

What happened to you?

Did you get stood up?

What are you talking about?

My! What a manic

depressive life you lead.

It's going to be a

marvellous party tomorrow night.

I'm going with John.

Who are you taking?

(Humming) Every night at seven...

Dum dum dum.

Da de di dum

de dum dem.

- Where's the key?

- Well you have it.

I have not. I gave it to you.

I'll suppose I'll have to go

all the way down to the desk and...

See, if you think nice things,

all doors open to you.

Is that

your message for the day?

Flowers! For me.

I wonder who they're from.

Not from me.

Oh, well that I know.

Who?

It's from John.

Can't make the opening.

He can't?

My! What a shame!

I had a feeling this morning

he wouldn't be able to make it,

but he just

didn't know how to tell me.

Isn't that terrible?

Now isn't that terrible?

He's weak

and I just hate weak people.

Yes dear, I know you do.

Up one minute, down the next.

What a manic-depressive life you lead.

Alright, alright,

so we're even.

Who are you going

with tomorrow night?

I don't know.

Why don't you take me?

I think we should go together anyway.

After all, we're the stars of the show.

Yes

I think we should...

Miss Bowen may I escort you to

Klinger's clambake tomorrow night?

Why, I'd be delighted, and

what a surprise you're asking me.

Oh Tommy,

let's be terrific tomorrow night.

- We'll be cosmic.

- Stupendous.

A smash! We hope.

And Ellen, don't forget that's

still the most important thing.

Yes Tommy, I know it is.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

(Overlapping dialogue) - Oh yeah, yeah.

- You listen to me just once.

- Oh sure.

- I've told you a million times.

You never want

to listen to me.

Yeah. So I said it.

So you heard it. So what?

So this. It's the last time

I'll ever go to a party with you.

Will you put that in writing?

Well you're always

making cracks.

Like what?

Well you're always

humiliating me.

Didn't your mother never

teach you no manners?

I never had no mother,

we was too poor.

Say what's the matter

with you lately?

You used to tell me

you loved me.

You used to treat me like a high-class

dame. Well, usedn't you?

- So I used.

- So there you admit it.

I ain't admitting nothing.

I'll give you one more chance.

Do you love me or don't you?

No I don't.

Quit stalling.

I want a direct answer.

There's one thing about you

I can't understand.

(Starts singing) How could you

believe me when I said I love ya?

When you know

I've been a liar all my life.

You've had that reputation

since you was a youth.

You must have been insane

to think I'd tell you the truth.

How could I believe you

when ya said we'd marry?

Well, you know

I'd rather hang than have a wife.

I know I said

I'd make you mine.

Now wouldn't you's know

that I would go for that old line.

How could you believe me

when I said I love you?

When you know

I've been a liar.

You sure have been a liar.

A double-crossing liar.

A double-crossing liar.

All my doggone cheating life.

You said you would

love me long.

So what?

And never would do

me wrong.

Stop bending the suit.

Faithful you'd always be.

Me?

Why baby you must be loony to trust

a lower than low two-timer like me.

You said I'd have everything.

Get her.

A beautiful diamond ring.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

A bungalow by the sea.

A bungalow yet.

You're really naive to ever believe

a full of baloney phony like me.

Why, I should have

just lost my head.

You ain't lost nothing

you never had.

What about the time

you went to Indiana?

I was lying

I was down in Ala-bam.

You said you had some business

you had to complete.

What I was doing

I would be a cad to repeat.

What about the evening's

you was with your mother?

I was romping

with another honey-lamb.

To think you swore

our love was real.

Baby leave us not forget

that I am a heal.

How could I believe you

when you said you loved me?

Why,

you know I've been a liar?

A good for nothing liar.

All my good for nothing life.

(Music goes mad)

You know you've been a liar.

I know I've been a liar.

A double-crossing liar.

A double-crossing liar.

All your good-for-nothing life.

(Applause)

Johnny!

Darling I just had to come.

I just had to.

- Who's that with Ellen?

- Who?

- The chap with the accent.

- Him?

- Yes.

- Brindale.

Aah.

They've become very good friends.

Oh yes.

Don't you think we should

be getting over to Edgar's?

Later Johnny.

Tonight's my night

and tonight I want to be alone with you.

When you didn't show up at the

opening,

I didn't even feel like going on.

How'd you get away from your party?

Oh I just walked out. I couldn't stand

not being with you tonight.

Ellen, Ellen, I think we're in love.

Yes darling I know.

Well what are we going to do about it?

Nothing.

Well we can't go on

in this indefinite state.

Well aren't you happy?

Oh you know I am.

So am I, let's not kill it

with improvement now.

But something might happen.

Like what?

Well, some day, you might look over

my shoulder and see someone else.

Someone else?

Yes.

(Starts singing)

Too late now to forget your smile.

The way we cling

when we dance awhile.

Too late now to forget

and go on to someone new.

Too late now

to forget your voice.

The way one word

makes my heart rejoice.

Too late now

to imagine myself away from you.

All the things we've done together.

I relive when we're apart.

All the tender fun together

stays on in my heart.

How could I ever close the door

and be the same as I was before.

Darling. No, no I can't anymore.

It's too late now.

(Johnny whistling the tune)

- Does Tom know how you feel?

- Oh goodness no.

Do you think he'd mind?

Well, I imagine if he ever found

out he'd get us a booking

some place in South Africa,

just to get me away from you.

Would you forget about me

in South Africa?

Well how could I?

(Starts singing)

All the things we've done together,

I relive when we're apart.

All the tender fun together

stays on in my heart.
