Don`t go. You hear me?

Now wait a minute.

l said don`t go!

-You stay here!

-Take care of yourself.

All right. Well, go.

See if l care.

Go, see what it is out there.

lt ain`t the movies!

lt`s real life,

and you`ll be back.

Mark my words. You`ll be back!

What are you doing here?

-Meeting Gil Shepherd.

-They`re all gone.

What do you mean?

They went back to Hollywood.

Gil, too?

Mr. Shepherd, yeah.

Soon as Tom Baxter went back up

on the movie screen...

couldn`t wait

to get out of here.

He said this was

a close call for his career.

l think he`s going to play

Charles Lindbergh.

Don`t forget, Cecilia.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers

start today.

Heaven

l`m in heaven

And my heart beats so

that l can hardly speak

And l seem to find

the happiness l seek

When we`re out together

dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven

l`m in heaven

And the cares that hung

around me through the week

Seem to vanish

like a gambler`s lucky streak

When we`re out together

dancing cheek to cheek

Oh, l love to climb a mountain

And to reach the highest peak

But it doesn`t thrill me

half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek
