Sun Valley Serenade Page #5

All right. Next one with you, dear.

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

(music ends)

- You gotta teach me that pretzel dance.

- You'll have to learn it too, Vivian.

- Is there any reason why we can't eat?

- No. I'll order right away.

- Waitress.

- Yes, sir?

We'll all have a Sauerbraten mit Spatzen,

cheesecake und beer. How's that?

Sounds terrible. I'll have a steak.

- And, waitress, champagne.

- Yes, ma'am.

Whose birthday is it?

In Norway we only have champagne

at festivals or a wedding.

Darling, you're psychic.

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret.

I've accepted Ted's proposal.

We're getting married.

(Nifty) I'll phone Winchell right away!

No, after eight - it's cheaper.

Congratulations. Maybe now

you'll get your minds back on your work.

- (Nifty) Why didn't you tip me off?

- (Vivian) We decided to make it a surprise.

After all, it's up to Vivian to say when.

I want to congratulate you too.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Til lykke - that means good luck.

Good luck - I hope so.

Honey, why don't you give in too?

We could have a double wedding -

get a cut rate from the preacher

and use the same rice.

I couldn't without Ted's permission.

He's responsible for me, you know.

Well, he won't be much longer, dear -

not after you're married.

- Well, here's to us, Ted.

- To us.

- And to Karen.

- And to Phil.

- And to Nifty.

- That's sweet. And to you, honey.

Excuse me. Anyone planning to use the lift

will have to be ready in 20 minutes.

- They're only running it for one trip.

- I'll get indigestion.

Don't rush. It'll take quite a while

to accommodate all these people.

No, you and Phil and Nifty

will have it all to yourselves.

But how will you get down?

A skier never takes a lift

unless he's on a stretcher.

It's an old Norwegian tradition.

Haven't you had enough skiing

for one day?

It isn't that. Everyone would think

he's a svekling - that means a softie.

There you are.

We'll meet you at the lodge.

Too bad I didn't bring my skis. You and I

could shoot around, do those flying jumps...

- And you would come down on a stretcher.

- Sure, I'd come down on a...

Pass the biscuits, please.

Better keep this around you.

- I'm worried about you skiing after dark.

- Oh, there's a swell moon out.

That's what I'm worried about.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

See you at the lodge, Ted.

- It's a beautiful night for skiing, isn't it?

- I'll say it is.

Ted! Will you stop a minute?

- What's the matter?

- My skis are iced up.

- Will you fix them?

- Sure.

Point your ski up.

- When are you going to get married?

- I don't know. That's up to Vivian.

Then it won't be long.

- Did you hurt yourself?

- No.

- Well, they're gone. Right to the bottom.

- I'm sorry. I slipped.

- Now what am I gonna do?

- Have the ski patrol bring up another pair?

No use giving them grief.

We'll have to use the lift.

It's stopped running.

I know. You wait in the cabin there while

I ski down and ask them to start it again.

- I guess you'll have to. But be careful.

- I will. Won't take me long.

(Karen) Ted!

- What happened?

- My knee...

The clamp on one

of my skis broke and I fell.

This would happen!

Did you bang it up much?

It hurts when I walk on it, but I guess it'll be

all right if I don't use it for a couple of hours.

By then the moon'll be

on the other side of the mountain.

We won't be able

to see our way back down the run.

Are both your skis outside?

If I made your clamps fit my shoes...

You couldn't.

Besides, one of my skis is broken.

Oh.

Well, I guess we'll have to stay here all night.

That's great. Now all we need is a blizzard

to snow us in for a couple of weeks.

- Even the telephone's dead.

- Oh, that's too bad.

I guess they'll send out the ski patrol

to look for us.

- They will?

- Sure.

They might have trouble finding us.

I'd better hang this lantern up.

Oh.

Ouch.

- Did you hang up that lantern?

- Mm-hm.

- Take off your shoe. Then your pants.

- My pants?!

- Roll 'em up. I'm worried about your knee.

- They're too tight.

- I'll take care of that. Which is it?

- The left one.

But you don't have to look at it.

If you just leave it alone...

My pants! What are you doing?

You can't do this!

- Pretty bad. Looks inflamed.

- Does it?

Mm-hm.

- Does it hurt when I bend it?

- No. No, no.

All it needs is a little work-out.

You can't let these things tighten up.

Nei! Nei! Nei!

It'll feel a lot better in a few minutes.

- There, how does that feel?

- Fine.

All right... Walk on it.

(groans)

- Then you're all ready to go?

- Yes.

- Why didn't they go an hour ago?

- They might've heard from them.

- I knew something like this'd happen.

- Don't worry, they're excellent skiers.

If one of them was hurt,

they'd probably make for a ski hut.

There you are.

We got nothing to worry about.

Hey, suppose

they have to stay in a hut all night?

Karen'd be compromised,

and I'm engaged to her. Think of my position.

I am thinking, and it isn't of your position.

Get going.

This might turn into a calamity any minute.

I guess the ski patrol must be lost.

- What are you going to do?

- Fix a bed for myself.

If you think I'm sleeping outside,

you're crazy.

- Oh, I didn't want you to. I'll fix a bed for you.

- I'll fix it. You fix your own.

That's close enough.

- But it'll be cold when that fire goes out.

- Here's another blanket.

Will you stop?

- I was just going to tuck you in.

- I don't want to be tucked in.

Well, don't you want to kiss me good night?

Maybe I'd better sleep outside - it's safer!

No, no. I'll go to bed.

- Good night.

- Good night!

So you think it's funny, huh?

You wouldn't have fun like this

if you married... someone else.

She'll be awfully angry when we get back,

won't she?

Well, if she's mad enough,

she won't marry you.

(soft music)

(Karen hums along)

Da da-da da...

Pretty, isn't it?

(continues to vocalise)

You sure have a swell ear for music.

- Isn't that the way it goes?

- Uh-uh. This way.

(hums along)

(vocalises)

And even though it's snowing

Violets are growing

I know why and so do you

Why do breezes sigh every evening

Whispering your name as they do?

And why have I the feeling

stars are on my ceiling?

I know why and so...

- Say, not bad.

- Not good.

When you smile at me

I hear gypsy violins

When you dance with me

I'm in heaven

When the music begins

I can see the sun when it's raining

Hiding every cloud from my view

And why do I see rainbows

When you're in my arms?

I know why and...

- Well!

- Yeah... well!

- Hello.

- Hello!

See? I told you they'd be all right.
