The Palm Beach Story Page #10

Good night.

I'll see you in my dreams.

Yes, that's a very good place.

You're a fast worker, aren't you?

You have your nerve to talk.

So you couldn't even wait

a decent interval, you and your princess.

I hope you're very proud

of yourself, Captain McGlue!

Wait a minute.

No, let me go, you big pullover!

No, no. I just broke that

because it was handy.

Oh, well, then you ought to be ashamed of

yourself. I'm the one that has the right to...

I know I'm an idiot, but I suppose it's when

you've been fond of somebody for a long time...

You shouldn't have come down here.

You had no right to come down here.

You should have given me

a little time to get used to the idea.

Maybe I should, but you can't blame a man for

trying to hold on to something that he loves,

that he always has loved

and always will love.

You're gonna make me cry.

Gerry.

No! You're forgetting the airport.

You're forgetting everything that counts.

Gerry.

No! It's all finished!

When you make a decisin,

you have to stand by it.

You can't let champagne or...

or tree toads or night flowers...

or memories get in the way of it.

- It's all over, and I know it's for the best.

- But, Gerry, I...

On, no. Now, listen to me

just this once, will you?

I've always done what you wanted,

and it's always turned out a disaster.

Good night, darling. Sleep tight.

It'll be funny sleeping

with a sitting room between us.

And the doors locked.

You won't have to worry about that.

Nevertheless, good night, dear.

What? Well, won't you kiss

your brother good night?

I don't know.

I never had a brother.

You have one now.

You fool.

What's that?

Good...

Good night, sweetheart

Till we meet tomorrow

Good night, sweetheart

Sleep away your sorrow

Tears and partings He shouldn't do things

like that on a night like this. Good night.

May make us forlorn

But with the dawn

A new day is born

So I'll say good night, sweetheart

Though I'm not beside you

Good night, sweetheart

Still my love will guide you

Dreams enfold you

In each one I'll hold you

Good night, sweetheart

Good night

Good night, sweetheart

Till we meet tomorrow

Good night, sweetheart

Sleep away your sorrow

Tears and partings

May make us forlorn

But with the dawn

A new day is born

So I'll say good night, sweetheart

Though I'm not beside you

Good night, sweetheart

Still my love will guide you

Dreams enfold you

In each one I'll hold you

Good night, sweetheart

Good night

Good night, sweetheart

Till we meet tomorrow

Good night, sweetheart

Sleep will banish sorrow

Tears and partings

May make us forlorn

But with the dawn

I can't open this blasted dress.

A new day is born All right.

Come over here to the light.

So I'll say good night, sweetheart

Though I'm not beside you

Good night, sweetheart

Still my love will guide you

Sorry.

Dreams enfold you

Can you get it?

Just a minute.

In each one I'll hold you

Oh, darling, darling, darling!

Good night, sweetheart

Good night

I hope you realize

this is costing us millions.

Good night

I suppose there's a law against shooting

those things. Yes, ma'am, I think there is.

- Oh, good morning, Toto.

- Greetings.

It doesn't seem to matter how much champagne you

soak up, you always feel great the next morning.

Hello.

Thank you, darling.

I suppose it takes an iron constitution

to be a houseguest.

Why don't you go away someplace? Eh?

There must be somebody else

who can use a houseguest.

I can't be the only sucker in the worid.

Why don't you go to Havana?

That's a nice place, and I'd treat you to a nice

one-way ticket. Havana? "Youg, meeg," Havana?

No, Toto. "Youg" Havana.

"Meeg" here.

Nitz.

I was afraid of that.

Say, Maude, is this all right?

You have to work fast in these matters, so I just

slid down to Margetsons and slid back with this.

What is it? The Hope Blue?

No, it's just a chip from it.

Boy, when you fall,

you fall, don't you?

Go away, Toto. This might give

you ideas. It's all right then?

I think she'll know what you mean.

Good.

How do you think this would look

on the captain's vest?

Maude, you're really incorrigible.!

No, no, Toto.

Naughty, naughty. Here.

- I suppose I'll have to give the bracelet back, won't I?

- Why?

Oh! Oh, dear!

What are you talking about?

Oh, Snoodles, I'm so fond of you. You're

a lovely, generous, good-hearted man,

really a woman's ideal, only

you shouldn't have sung last night.

What? Here's your bracelet.

I'm going back to my husband.

That skunk?

Oh, he isn't really.

I let you think worse about him than he

is. You know how a woman likes sympathy.

But what about the $99,000? He

didn't want that. I wanted it for him.

But...

Put it away.

What?

Put it away!

But, darling...

I'll just take one more look at it,

and then put it away forever.

There's a limit

to what a woman can stand.

Hello there, Snoodles.

How's every little thing?

I'm very unhappy, as a matter

of fact. You'll get over it.

You know about Gerry's decisin? Yes.

I'll never get over it as long as I live.

I had such hopes, such plans.

Oh, Snoodles, I'm so sorry. Anyway, we

still have the airport. That'll keep us busy.

- What's knittin', kittens?

- Gerry's going back to her husband.

Oh, you poor, dumb thing. I know just

how it is. I'll bet he's a knockout.

I'm awfully sorry about Snoodles.

Well, you still have your airport,

and you and the captain and I

will be as busy as bird dogs, won't we?

I'm afraid that isn't

possible either. Why not?

I still have... I always will have...

the deepest affection for you.

Certainly nothing has happened

to spoil my friendship with your brother.

Well, you see...

What now?

He isn't exactly my brother.

No.

He isn't exactly your brother?

No.

- Hello!

- Oh, shut up!

He... He's my husband.

He's your husband!

That's right.

Well, no wonder! I thought

I was losing my grip.

You mean, the vermin who-who...

Who-Who what?

That's right. You said he

didn't. Then who is McGlue?

There is no McGlue. Well, thank

heavens for something. That name!

- Then it's theJeffers Airport.

- Are you still talking about that airport? You really take it on the chin, don't you?

Why not? If an idea

has merit, it has merit.

Sentiment and business

don't belong in the same bed.

After all, Grandfather loathed oil... it made his eyes water...

but that didn't stop him from making millions out of it.

You still want to go through

with the airport?

Why not? On a purely

business basis, of course.

Right now I don't like you,

although I may get over it later.

Right now I need something

to occupy my mind.

The airport is something,

if not exactly what I'd hoped for.

I'll be very lonely without you,

Gerry. Oh, Captain, and thou.

I don't suppose you have a sister.

Only a twin sister.

A twin sister!

Oh, didn't you know about that? That's how we

were married in the beginning, both being twins.

That's another plot entirely.

Both twins!

Are you a twin?
