The Errand Boy Page #4

---

- Yeah, she works on the blue pages.

- Oh, thanks a lot, Miss Heidenan.

You're welcome.

Well, let me get the...

Let me... I just...

Here's a bunch of them to...

I'd better... I'm s...

I didn't mean...

Well, don't look mad.

You'll get the...

Maybe a sweeper would...

Let's go.

Come on. If we're late again,

Grumpy's not gonna be

as precious as he usually is.

I'm gonna finish my milk

because I drink the milk.

It's the only time of the day

that I haVe any energy.

That's the only...

Milk is for my teeth.

And calcium to make me...

Milk is the best.

I drink it a lot to help...

Certainly sounds different, Baron.

I can't wait to see this.

Me too. I never seen rushes before.

And this scene you mentioned, Baron,

was shot only yesterday?

That's right. You see that film

just as I do, for the first time.

- Wonderful.

- Well, fine.

Now, it will only take a minute,

and we'll be ready.

And in the meantime, let me explain.

Now, this scene is without words.

Just music.

It's a cocktail party at one of

the richest families in Philadelphia.

When the daughter comes in,

finding her mother and father gone,

leaVing only the guests with drinks

in their hands and then...

Watch.

What is that?

Where does that face come from?

Whose face is that anyway?

- You mean you didn't plan that?

- Plan that? Are you crazy?

Look! My film is ruined!

Who is that?

Will somebody please tell me,

who is that?

It is... It is kaput!

EVerything is kaput!

If film is kaput, I am kaput!

Well, what are we waiting for, Jedson?

We're waiting for the film,

Mr. Greenback.

We can't roll for a sound take unless

we're in sync with the picture.

Sync, schmync. You guys are always

making with the technical terms

so producers don't know

what you're talking about.

And if we made it sound simple,

then would they know?

I just thought it would be much

better if we could...

All right, roll it.

Eighty-six-five.

Goodbye, my little darling.

I'm a-gonna miss you.

Goodbye, Brett, honey.

Oh, I hate to see a cry in your eye.

Please, Brett, don't fret,

because you are my

Lover

When I'm near you

And I hear you speak my name

Softly in my ear

You breathe a flame

Lover

When we're dancing

Keep on glancing in my eyes

Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you

You're every plan I design

Promise you'll always continue

I know, I know! What do you think

I called this dubbing session for?

She's awful. Horrible.

And I don't think she can sing either.

Now, shall we try one with the

singer doing it, Mr. Greenback?

Please.

All right, everything on.

We go for a take with the other Voice.

If you're ready, Miss Hayes,

we can try a take.

I'm all set when you are.

Six-five.

Please, Brett, don't fret,

because you are my

Lover

When I'm near you

And I hear you speak my name

Softly in my ear

You breathe a flame

Lover

When we're dancing

Keep on glancing in my eyes

Till love's own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you

You're every plan I design

Promise you'll always continue

To be mine

Lover

Please be tender

When you're tender, fears depart

Lover

I surrender

To my heart

Wonderful, miss,

just simply wonderful.

All right, fellas, that's a print.

Wrap it up, and that's lunch, one hour.

Good boy.

Goodbye, my little darling.

I'm a-gonna miss you.

Goodbye, Brett, honey.

Oh, I hate to see a cry in your eye.

Please, Brett, don't fret,

because you are my

Lover

When I'm near you

And I hear you speak my name

Softly in my ear

You breathe a flame

Lover

When we're dancing

Keep on glancing in your eyes

Oh, that music dies

All of my...

Well, here we are.

Helen, when you see this doctor,

ask him why

you're always getting laryngitis.

You've had it three times

in a matter of months.

You? What are you doing here?

Well, I guess it's all right this time.

Now, Morty, it's the medical building

in Beverly Hills.

Take Mrs. P. There, drop her,

go get the car washed,

pick her up and bring her

right back here, is that clear?

Yeah, I go to the medical building

in Beverly Hills, I drop off Mrs. P.,

then I take the car to haVe it washed,

then I pick her up and come back here.

- All right, so long, Helen.

- OK, yeah.

Mrs. P., the Beverly Hills,

and then I haVe the car washed,

and then I haVe a medicine man

fix the building.

That is a motion-picture

premiere of the year.

Three years ago, if you'll recall,

Paramutual Studios turned out three

of the top hits.

And one was The Tall Pain,

and that was a tremendous picture.

Then came Heaven Is Far

and, of course,

the one you'll never forget,

Hot Heat.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

and now, tonight,

of Paramutual's

biggest-of-all-time thriller, So?...

...starring Alba Kirk and Rock Pile.

Stepping out of his car

is the star of that jungle series,

Mr. Brent Wood, and his

loVely leading lady, Belle Flower.

Good evening. It's a pleasure

to haVe you with us this evening.

Oh, and, ladies and gentlemen,

stepping out of her car

is the biggest star to hit the Hollywood

heaVens since Baby LeRoy:

Serina! And maybe we can

get her to say hello to us

on this mike this evening.

Well, well, well, well, well.

Serina, you look your usual loVely self.

- Thank you, darling.

- Would you step oVer on this side

so the cameras can get a better

look at you? There you are.

- You certainly look your beautiful self.

- Thank you, darling.

- It's liVing a clean life, I guess.

- Serina, do you haVe the tickets?

I find early to bed, early to rise

makes you keep that adorable size.

Well...

If you... Well, you can certainly

say that again, Serina.

Thank you, darling.

I find early to bed, early to...

What I meant, Serina, was... I didn't

mean you could say it again, I meant...

FiVe minutes.

FiVe minutes.

FiVe minutes. FiVe minutes, please.

FiVe minutes. FiVe minutes, please.

- FiVe minutes.

- Ladies and gentlemen,

let me remind you that this is,

without a doubt,

the Very finest premiere

that we haVe had here in Hollywood.

As you know, Serina has only returned

to this country a short time ago,

and this will be her first

public appearance tonight.

While we are...

Darling, do you believe

what you're watching?

This is the worst piece of junk

and the lousiest performances.

Yeah...

Excitement really runs high

here tonight, folks.

We're just sorry all of you listeners

couldn't be here in person.

This is really Hollywood.

What a night.

And remember,

ladies and gentlemen, this telecast...

Come on, fellas, let's play cards.

... has been brought to you by the

motion-picture industry's best friend,

the Defunct Insurance Company

of America.

Morty!

...bring you liVe, on-the-spot coVerage

of the most important happenings

in America,

such as the bridge championships,

the semi-pro soccer matches

and the annual botany show.

So until we see you folks again,

this is your on-the-spot reporter

bidding you all goodbye
