but we haven't any lake

So we'll walk up the avenue

Yes, we'll walk up the avenue

Yes, a walk up the avenue's

what we'll take

"V" stands for vim, vigor, vitality,

and Bobby Van...

in this number from Small Town Girl.

How.

Take me to Broadway,

and let me take it from there

Take me to Broadway,

and let me take it from there

- Gotta dance!

- Gotta dance!

- Gotta dance!

- Gotta dance!

Cyd Charisse...

lovely Cyd Charisse, how she dances.

This from Singin' in the Rain.

There's no business like show business

Like no business I know

Everything about it is appealing

In Annie Get Your Gun...

Betty Hutton, Howard Keel, Keenan Wynn,

Louis Calhern, and company...

tear the screen apart...

with Irving Berlin's

fabulous anthem to entertainment.

There's no people like show people

They smile when they are low

Even with a turkey that you know will fold

You may be stranded out in the cold

Still you wouldn't change it

for a sack of gold

Let's go on with the show

Let's go on with the show!

There's no business like show business

Like no business I know

Everything about it is appealing

Everything the traffic will allow

Nowhere could you get that happy feelin'

When you are stealin' that extra bow

There's no people like show people

They smile when they are low

Even with a turkey that you know will fold

You may be stranded out in the cold

Still you wouldn't change it

for a sack of gold

Let's go on with the show

Let's go on with the

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn.

They starred in nine films together...

and were, undoubtedly,

the most successful dramatic team...

in screen history.

Let's look at some of their work,

together, and apart.

There, that's better. I'm Father Flanagan.

I saw your brother Joe

just a little while ago.

We had a long talk about you, Whitey.

Joe wants you to come with me

to Boys Town.

You've got a swell chance

taking me to that joint.

Look, in a pinch,

I can be tougher than you are...

and I guess, maybe, this is the pinch.

You're coming with me to Boys Town

because that's what your brother wants.

And that's the way I want it.

Shorty, you mind backing up

and letting me by?

Yeah, I do mind. Suppose you back up,

and don't call me Shorty.

Shorty or sonny,

what difference does it make?

Move over, bud.

I'm wearing Justin boots

with 4-inch heels.

They'll sure make big dents

in that little frame of yours.

Lady athlete, properly handled,

always a market.

Always.

I don't think

you've ever been properly handled.

That's right, not even by myself.

Very few brains.

- There's one thing I got to say, though.

- What?

Nicely packed, that kit.

Is, at that.

Not much meat on her,

but what's there is cherce.

- Let's get out.

- Okay.

I told you already.

I ain't going to make no deals with you.

- Two against one.

- That's right, two against one...

and that's how it is

in this business, too, wise guy.

Two against one.

You want your usual percent?

My glasses.

That's no fair.

What's the big idea?

Where are my glasses?

- What is this?

- It's no fair.

Did you ever see a thing like this before?

We're so different,

we could help each other, couldn't we?

- I mean, really help. That is, if we...

- What?

Don't rush me. Give me time.

- One, two, three...

- I've been thinking...

all sorts of things in all ways.

Backwards, forwards, every which way,

but chiefly forwards.

I hope that means that you've decided

to stop living in the past.

Yes, and I've got to thinking

maybe you're right.

It is stupid of me, it is selfish...

but it is a terrible world to live in alone

with just memories.

You've got qualities to face it

and do something about it with.

Your eye is so clear. You see straight.

You're so honest, quick, aware,

fearless, forthright, and...

- Wait a minute.

- Don't stop me.

I'm none of those, except maybe honest.

I've got qualities for it, too.

I'm strong and have lots of energy.

I'm brave, too. Things don't get me down,

and I can take punishment.

It isn't just this house I can offer you

or myself as an assistant.

After all we said to each other that night...

the way we understand each other

about love...

you know I never could...

and I know you never could

or would want to...

and then there's all that

powerful commodity to be put to use.

- So I thought...

- You thought?

I wondered if you'd like to marry me.

What were you doing down

in my bailiwick today?

- Just a little ambulance chasing.

- Successful?

- I got the case.

- What case?

A girl named Doris Attinger

shot her husband. I'm going to defend her.

Now, when did you begin to suspect...

that you were losing

your husband's affection?

When he started batting me around.

Farewell, Amanda

What's the matter?

Don't you want your rub now? What...

What are you, sore about a little slap?

No.

- What then?

- You meant that, didn't you?

- You really meant that.

- No.

I can tell, I know your touch.

- I know a slap from a slug.

- Okay.

I'm not so sure it is.

I'm not so sure I care to expose myself...

to typical, instinctive masculine brutality.

Come, now.

It felt not only like you meant it,

but like you felt you had a right to.

I can tell.

What have you got back there,

radar equipment?

All right.

Break it up.

Adam. Listen to me.

Don't you handle me, lady. I'm not nutty.

Adam, you're sick. Please.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Teaching a lesson.

Him first, then comes yours.

- Now get away, Amanda.

- Don't you do it.

Stop it, Adam. Stop it!

- You've no right.

- That's all I wanted to hear.

Licorice.

If there's anything I'm a sucker for,

it's licorice.

- I figure you can take care of yourself.

- No, I can't.

- I bet you could even lick me.

- No, I couldn't.

- Sure. I think so.

- No, I couldn't.

- I need someone to look after me.

- What about me?

Why not?

I don't know if I can lick you

or you can lick me...

- but I'll tell you one thing I do know.

- What?

- Together, we can lick them all.

- You bet.

And together they did...

because everything

about Tracy and Hepburn...

was cherce.

Can it be

I like myself

She likes me

So, I like myself

If someone wonderful as she is

can think I'm wonderful

I must be

quite a guy

Gene, you finally did work out

that number on skates, didn't you?

Yes, I guess I did...

in a film dreamed up

by Comden and Green...

called It's Always Fair Weather.

Dislike myself

But now my love has got me

ridin'high

She likes me, so, so do I

I can remember everything

as if it were yesterday.

- We met at 9.;00

- We met at 8.;00

- I was on time

- No, you were late

Ah yes, I remember it well

Here's my favorite boulevardier

with Hermione Gingold...

and a lovely Lerner and Loewe

song from Gigi.

I remember it well

That dazzling April moon!

There was none that night

And the month was June

That's right, that's right

It warms my heart

To know that you

Remember still

The way you do

Ah yes

I remember it well
