Sun Valley Serenade Page #4

So you wanna play games, huh?

Well, I'll be...

That did it!

Hey, why don't you buy

your own private mountain?

You should be barred off the runs!

You ought to know better than to do crazy

stunts like that. Haven't you any sense?

Somebody ought to take your skis

and lock 'em up.

Well? Haven't you anything

to say for yourself?

I hope you're satisfied. What's the...

Hello.

How did you get here?

Didn't we have a wonderful chase?

Let's do it again.

Now just a minute...

You're a wonderful skier.

Your people must've come from Norway.

Mm-hm. By way of Dublin.

I picked it up when I was at college.

- Now suppose you...

- I learned it at kindergarten.

Will you answer my question?

How did you get here?

- Oh, that?

- Yes, that.

Well...

- Nifty didn't have anything to do with it.

- Oh, so that's it.

All he did was to tell me which train to take

and lend me the money for the car fare

and tell me where to hide

so you wouldn't see me. That's all.

That's all. I told that guy definitely...

Do you realise the spot you've put me in?

I'm responsible for you.

Won't it be easier to be responsible

for me here than in Weehawken?

Yes, but people might get the idea that...

It'd be different if you were a kid,

but you're a grown girl.

- What can we do about it?

- Yeah, that's it.

You're here now

and I suppose I'll have to let you stay.

But only for a few days,

then you go to Nifty's aunt.

After all, I've got work to do. I can't go

skiing around the hills with you. I have to...

Good night!

- What's the matter?

- I forgot about rehearsal.

I bet I'll beat you.

Take another look, Nifty.

See if he's coming.

I can't locate the guy.

I don't know where he is.

- Stall for time.

- OK.

"Chattanooga Choo Choo."

Run it down again. Let's go. One, two...

(train noises)

(whistles)

Hi there, Tex

What you say?

Step aside, partner, it's my day

Bend and ear and listen to my version

Of a really solid Tennessee excursion

Pardon me, boy,

is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

Yes, yes

Track 29

Boy, you can give me a shine

Can you afford to board

the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

I got my fare

And just a trifle to spare

You leave the Pennsylvania station

'bout a quarter to four

Read a magazine

and then you're in Baltimore

Dinner in the diner

Nothing could be finer

Than to have your ham and eggs

in Carolina

When you hear the whistle

blowing eight to the bar

Then you know

that Tennessee is not very far

Shovel all the coal in

Gotta keep it rollin'

Whoo, whoo

Chattanooga, there you are

There's gonna be

a certain party at the station

Satin and lace

I used to call funny-face

She's gonna cry

Until I tell her that I'll never roam

- So, Chattanooga Choo Choo

- Won't you choo-choo me home?

Chattanooga, Chattanooga...

- All aboard

- Chattanooga, Chattanooga...

- Get aboard

- Chattanooga, Chattanooga...

Chattanooga Choo Choo

Won't you choo-choo me home?

Chattanooga Choo Choo

- Pardon me, boys

- Yes, yes?

- Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?

- That's the Chattanooga Choo Choo

- On track 29

- 29?

- That's on the Tennessee line

- She said the Tennessee line

She means that she can afford...

I can afford to board

the Chattanooga Choo Choo

- What have you got in there?

- I've got my fare

- You say you have?

- Uh-huh, but not a nickel to spare

Well, I do declare

You leave the Pennsylvania station

'bout a quarter to four

Read a magazine

and then you're in Baltimore

- Dinner in the diner

- Nothing could be finer

Than to have your ham and eggs

in Carolina

When you hear the whistle

blowing eight to the bar

Then you know

that Tennessee is not very far

Shovel all the coal in

Got to keep her rollin'

Oh, Chattanooga, there you are

Chattanooga Choo Choo,

there you are

(applause)

Boy, is she burning.

What do you mean, burning?

You could ski down the ice on her back.

Ted'll be here any minute. A guy can get lost

in those mountains - they all look alike.

- You don't say.

- Sure.

In Switzerland sometimes they have

to send snow hounds to find you.

Ted might not be back for days.

What am I saying?

- Who's that with him?

- I can't get over how white that snow is.

- It's Karen! How did she get here?

- Didn't you know? You took the same train.

- Hello, everybody.

- So you finally...

- Look what I found sliding down a mountain.

- Well, if it isn't Karen!

I'm sorry I'm late.

- Have a good time?

- The snow was perfect.

I'm glad you found someone

to ski with so unexpectedly.

- What do you think of her following us here?

- What do you think of it?

Come and say hello.

Karen.

- Hello, Vivian.

- Hello, Karen.

- Nifty, what's the idea of all the mystery?

- What? Oh, Karen.

Well, you had so much on your mind... I just

couldn't leave her back there without me.

- The great lover himself!

- So romance walked in on snow shoes, huh?

You should see her on skis.

She could give an avalanche six lengths.

Now I'll never see you,

except at the piano.

You'll have to go skiing with us. Karen

could teach you - she knows all the tricks.

Let's get this rehearsal over with.

Yeah, Ted, if you don't mind.

We've only been waiting a couple of hours.

But I'll bet she can't cook.

Oh...

- Come on, let's go.

- Wait a minute.

- Now what's wrong?

- Something's got hold of my foot.

- You have one ski on top of the other.

- Oh, that's right.

- Hello. I got your message and here I am.

- What message?

Aren't you glad you came?

It's a wonderful day for skiing.

- Didn't you leave word to meet you up here?

- I didn't know I was coming myself.

That's funny. The clerk at the hotel said that...

It is funny, isn't it?

I'll race you to the bottom of the lift.

- Race who?

- Both of you.

- Oh, no.

- It's only the bottom of the run.

- That's the trouble.

- Here you go.

Wait! Wait!

Help!

(yells)

Calling Dr Kildare!

Prepare for surgery!

I'm snow-blind! I'm snow-blind!

Hello, Round House?

Is Mr Scott there?

- Thank you.

- Hello, Sun Valley. Just a moment.

Hello, Trail Creek Cabin?

Is Mr Scott there?

Thank you.

Sorry, Miss Dawn, I can't locate him.

All right, thanks. Just forget it.

(concertina music)

In Sweden and in Norway

they do the cutest dance

When couples sentimentally inclined

would really like to find romance

They're playing a polka.

In Sweden and in Norway,

when concertinas play

You sing hi-li, you sing hi-lo

Your heart is young and gay

With a yoom-papa and an oom-papa

You take her hand and say

Say, did you ever dance the kiss polka?

You can steal a kiss

to this polka

She'll be shy when first you try

Then by and by

She'll say, "Yah, by yumping yiminy"

You should always do the kiss polka

When there is a lovely moon above

It's a dance that you'll be wild about

You kiss, kiss, kiss till you're all kissed out

It's so much fun

when it's done with the one you love

- If they can dance it, we can.

- Sorry, not my brand of music.

- I can do the polka.

- Then you dance with Ted.
