Singin' in the Rain Page #6

Good mornin'

Good mornin'

We've talked the whole night through

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

Good mornin'

Good mornin'

It's great to stay up late

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

When the band began to play

The stars were shining bright

Now the milkman's on his way

It's too late to say good night

So good mornin'

Good mornin'

Sunbeams will soon smile through

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

And you and you and you

Good mornin'

Good mornin'

We've gabbed the whole night through

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

Nothing could be grander

Than to be in Louisiana

In the mornin'

In the mornin'

It's great to stay up late

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

Might be just as zippy

If we was in Mississippi

When we left the movie show

The future wasn't bright

But came the dawn, the show goes on

And I don't wanna say good night

So say good mornin'

Good mornin'

Rainbows are shinin' through

- Good mornin'

- Good mornin'

- Bonjour!

- Monsieur!

- Buenos das!

- Muchas fras!

- Buon giorno!

- A ritorno!

- Guten morgen!

- Guten morgen!

Good mornin' to you

Ol!

- Toro!

- Toro!

Hey, we can't make this a musical.

What do you mean?

Lina.

- Lina.

- Lina.

She can't act, she can't sing

and she can't dance.

- A triple threat.

- Yeah.

What's so funny?

I'm sorry, I was just thinking.

I liked her best when

the sound went off and she said:

"Yes, yes, yes."

"No, no, no."

"Yes, yes, yes."

"No, no..."

Wait a minute.

I am just about to be brilliant.

Come here, Kathy.

Come here. Now, sing.

Huh?

- said sing.

Good mornin'

Good mornin'

Don, keep your eyes

riveted on my face.

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

Watch my mouth.

Good mornin'

Good mornin'

It's great to stay up late

Good mornin'

Good mornin' to you

Well, convincing?

Enchanting. What?

Don't you get it?

Use Kathy's voice.

Lina moves her mouth

and Kathy sings and talks for her.

That's wonderful!

- couldn't let you do it, Kathy.

- Why not?

You wouldn't be seen.

You'd throw away your career.

It has nothing to do with my career.

It's only for this picture.

The important thing is to save

The Duelling Cavalier...

...save Lockwood and Lamont.

- Yeah.

Well, all right, if it's only

for this one picture, but...

- You think it'll get by?

- Of course.

It's simple to work the numbers.

Just dance around Lina

and teach her how to take a bow.

We'll spring it on R.F.

In the morning.

Don, you're a genius.

I'm glad you thought of it.

Oh, Cosmo.

Good night, Kathy. See you tomorrow.

Good night, Don.

Take care of that throat.

You're a big singing star now, remember?

This California dew

is just a little heavier than usual.

Really?

From where I stand,

the sun is shining all over the place.

I'm singin' in the rain

Just singin' in the rain

What a glorious feelin'

I'm happy again

I'm laughin' at clouds

So dark up above

The sun's in my heart

And I'm ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

I've a smile on my face

I'll walk down the lane

With a happy refrain

Just singin'

Singin' in the rain

Dancin' in the rain

I'm happy again

I'm singin'

And dancin' in the rain

I'm dancin'

And singin'

In the rain

Why, that's wonderful!

We'll keep it secret

until we're ready to release...

...just in case it doesn't come off.

I'm worried about Lina.

She doesn't like Miss Selden.

There might be fireworks.

Lina won't even know she's on the lot.

Boys, this is great.

The Duelling Cavalier can be saved.

Now, let's see.

The Duelling Cavalierwith music.

The title.

The title's not right.

We need a musical title. Cosmo?

Hey! The Duelling Mammy.

No.

I've got it.

No.

The Dancing Cavalier!

That's it.

The Dancing Cavalier.

- Remind me to make you a scriptwriter.

- Thanks. Have a cigar.

Thanks.

Now, what about the story?

We need modern musical numbers.

We throw a modern section into it.

The hero's a hoofer on Broadway.

He sings and he dances.

One night, backstage, he's reading

The Tale of Two Cities.

A sandbag hits his head.

He dreams he's back

during the French Revolution.

This way, we get in

the modern dancing numbers.

But in the dream,

we can still use the costumes.

Sensational! Cosmo,

remind me to give you a raise.

- Oh, R.F.

- Yes?

Give me a raise.

He holds her in his arms

Would you?

He tells her of her charms

Would you?

They met as you and I

And they were only friends

But before...

...the story ends

He'll kiss her with a sigh

Would you?

And if the girl were I

Would you?

And would you dare to say

Let's do the same

As they

I would

Would you?

And would you dare to say

Let's do the same

As they

I would

Would you?

Perfect! That Selden girl is great.

I'm gonna give her a big buildup.

- Swell!

- How much is there left to do?

- One scene and a number.

- What number?

It's a new one.

It's for the modern part.

It's called "Broadway Melody."

It's the story of a young hoofer

who comes to New York.

First, we set the stage with a song.

It goes like this.

Don't bring a frown to old Broadway

You gotta clown on Broadway

Your troubles there

They're out of style

For Broadway always wears a smile

A million lights

They flicker there

A million hearts beat quicker there

No skies of gray

On that Great White Way

That's the Broadway

Melody

Gotta dance

Shh.

Gotta dance

Gotta dance, gotta dance

Broadway rhythm

It's got me

Everybody dance

Broadway rhythm

It's got me

Everybody dance

Out on that Gay White Way

And each merry caf

Orchestras play

Taking your breath away

Broadway rhythm

It's got me

Everybody sing and dance

Oh, that Broadway rhythm

When I hear that happy beat

Feel like dancin' down the street

To that Broadway rhythm

Writhing, beating

Rhythm

Gotta dance

When I hear that happy beat

Feel like dancin' down the street

When I hear that happy beat

Feel like dancin' down the street

Gotta dance

Gotta dance

Gotta dance

Gotta dance

That's the Broadway

Melody

That's the idea.

What do you think of it?

I can't visualize it.

I'll have to see it on film first.

- On film, it'll be better yet.

- Don't forget.

Have Selden re-record

all of Lina's dialogue.

- t's all set up.

- And remember...

...don't let Lina know about it.

All set in there?

Right.

Nothing can keep us apart.

Our love will last

till the stars turn cold.

All right, Kathy. Go ahead.

Nothing can keep us apart.

Our love will last

till the stars turn cold.

That's great! Perfect. Cut.

Till the stars turn cold.

Oh, Kathy, I love you.

I can't wait till

this picture's finished.

No more secrecy.

I'm gonna let Lina and everyone know.

Your fans will be

bitterly disappointed.

From now on, there's only

one fan I'm worried about.

There!

- What did I tell you?

- Thanks, Zelda. You're a real pal.

I want that girl off the lot at once!

She ain't gonna be my voice.

Zelda told me everything.
