Swing Time Page #6

and all that.

And all what?

Whatever you want.

Does she dance very beautifully?

Who?

The girl you're in love with.

Yes. Very.

The girl you're engaged to.

The girl you're going to marry.

I don't know.

I've danced with you.

I'm never going to dance again.

Will that be all, miss?

I think so, yes.

May I come in?

Hello, John, dear.

Hello, Margaret.

I didn't expect you. Please come in.

- Won't you sit down?

- Thank you.

I'm so glad you've come, John.

I've been so worried.

There's something I must tell you.

You poor boy.

John, I don't want to add to your worries...

- but I've got to tell you that...

- No, please, let me first. You see...

I don't know how to say it.

Read this note. It explains everything.

I'm going back home tonight and then...

Don't read it until after I've gone.

But you can't go until you know how I feel.

I know how you feel, but my feelings...

- Margaret.

- I'm sorry.

- Do you mean this?

- Yes, John.

I can't marry you.

- You don't love me?

- No, I'm sorry.

Gee, that's swell.

Swell?

I mean, who are you going to marry?

It's in there.

Charlie Shaw. What do you think of that?

We used to call him Goofy Shaw.

He isn't goofy anymore.

No, of course not,

now that he's gonna marry you.

You see, I've known him so much longer

than I've known you and...

Yes, but why didn't you tell me last night?

I wanted to, but when I finally got to you,

you seemed to be in a lot of trouble.

- I was.

- Well, I didn't want to add to it.

- You wouldn't have. You were the trouble.

- I?

Yes, you see, I'm in love

with that girl you saw.

You mean that goofy girl?

Yeah. No, she's not goofy.

What do you mean she's...

Was she angry at you because of me?

Yes, isn't that marvelous?

- And what are you laughing at?

- I don't know.

Come on, let us in on the joke.

- We've just...

- Thrown each other over.

You know, I know just how you feel.

I've been divorced

a couple of times myself.

I'm glad you're taking it so good, Lucky.

I can take it, Pop.

Because I've got to tell you

that Penny and Romero...

are getting married this afternoon.

- What?

- Yes, laugh that one off.

Now do you think you can tell me?

No.

How did he look

when you told him I was getting married?

- Did his face fall?

- Kind of.

I stopped looking

when his chin passed his arches.

They were laughing so hard

that all I heard them say...

was that she had broken her engagement

with him.

Stop talking about him

when you know I'm going to marry Ricky.

I is sorry, gentlemen,

but it's just like I told you.

Mr. Romero ain't seeing nobody today.

He is getting married.

- He's getting married.

- Is he?

Of course he couldn't see anybody today.

- I should say not.

- Out of the question.

The most ridiculous thing.

That's what I always say.

Hello, Ricky.

Hello, Lucky.

Or perhaps

you should call me lucky today.

Excuse me, boss,

here's your baggage checks...

and all your clothes are on the boat.

It's going to be such a wonderful wedding.

Raymond has been very nice

and turned over the entire place to us.

My own orchestra

is going to be there and play.

I made a special arrangement

of the Wedding March myself...

and we have a group of specially selected

guests to attend the wedding.

What are you laughing at?

Those trousers.

What's wrong with them?

Why...

no cuffs.

Lucky, what are you doing here?

You see, I...

- You just came to laugh at my wedding.

- No.

I'm laughing because

there isn't going to be any wedding.

Yes, there is.

No, there isn't.

You wait here.

So there you are. Where are my pants?

Well, what about the wedding?

There isn't going to be any wedding.

Then you're going to marry him?

Yes, I guess so.
