Thrill of a Romance Page #2

I know all about you too.

You were born here in Los Angeles.

Your father was a doctor.

Your parents died when you were 7.

You attended high school

and the university.

You got fairly good marks.

You were popular.

-How do you know so much about me?.

-I made it my business to find out.

And....

Everything I found out about you,

Cynthia, I like.

-Thank you.

-Excuse me, Mr. Delbar.

-Well, there`s J.P. Bancroft.

-Really?.

Will you excuse me?.

-Well, hello, Bob.

-Hello, J.P.

Mr. Carker, gas and oil.

Mr. Delbar, Praktikon.

[lN UNlSON] :

l`ve heard of you.

-Ha-ha-ha. Sit down. Sit down.

-Thank you.

When can you and I get together,

tomorrow?.

No. I`m afraid not.

I`m flying back East

first thing in the morning.

There`s nothing we can do

until we`ve had a meeting...

-...with that fellow in Washington.

-When will that be?.

Well, as soon as l`ve arranged an interview,

l`ll let you know. And you`d better be there.

Don`t worry, l`ll be there.

Nothing could stop me.

-Well, very pretty.

-I think so.

-See you in Washington. Goodbye, J.P.

-Goodbye, Bob.

Nice to have met you, Mr. Carker.

Yeah.

There`s a very able fellow.

He`ll be right up there on top

someday too.

Great man, J.P. I suppose

he`s the richest man in the country today.

-More wine?.

-No, thank you.

He and I have a big deal on.

If it goes through, it`ll mean a lot

to Praktikon and to me.

What were you and Mr. Bancroft

saying about me?.

He asked me who you were.

And I told him

you`re the girl l`m going to marry.

Congratulations.

Relatives of the bride.

I guess Bob was right about wanting

to have the wedding in his house.

-lt is nicer than ours.

-Well, anyway, it`s bigger.

We could have rented chairs,

but he insisted and insisted.

Yeah, he`s quite an insister.

-I do hope Cynthia will be happy.

-Yeah, I hope so too.

You know, dear, I don`t think l`d like

to be married to Bob, would you?.

Well, I haven`t given the matter

much thought, but offhand, l`d say no.

[KNOCKlNG]

JULlO:
Lady?.

-Yes.

-I would like to see Senorita Glenn.

-Well, she`s busy getting married.

Yes, I know. But please,

will you say to her that Julio`s here?.

-Ju-- Julio?. Where?.

-Here.

Oh.

Cynthia, Julio`s here.

-Oh, where?.

-Out there.

-Where are you going, dear?.

-To see somebody.

We ought to get started if we`re going

to get to the hotel before dark.

This is an old friend,

a gentleman friend.

Oh, who is he?.

Bob, you don`t need to be jealous

of him.

He`s one of the boys

from my swimming class.

-But, Cynthia, you haven`t time--

CYNTHlA:
Yes, I have.

-Hello, Julio.

-Hello, Senorita Glenn.

-l`m Mrs. Delbar now, Julio.

-Yes, Senorita Glenn.

I have brought to you a present.

Thank you. Where is it?.

It is not very nice.

I could not buy anything

very nice, or anything.

Come with me, please,

I will show you.

[SlGHS]

Julio.

Julio, that was perfect.

You did learn.

-For you, senorita, that is my present.

-Oh.

Cynthia, you`ll ruin your dress.

I won`t need it again.

[PLAYlNG ""HERE COMES THE BRlDE""]

CLERK:
Good evening, Mr. Delbar.

-Good evening.

Hmm. I see you`re using my pen.

-Your pen, sir?.

-One of them.

Look, dear. Praktikon.

Pens are just a sideline,

we`ll sell millions of them this year.

CLERK:
Suite 44.

-Thank you.

Darling, people.

-Huh?. What?.

-People.

Oh, oh, yes. How do you do?.

Uh--

MAN:

Goodbye. We`re just going.

We`re so sorry.

We meant to leave sooner but--

Oh, that`s all right.

We understand.

-Are you--?. Have you--?.

-Yes, we`ve just been married too.

Wonderful, isn`t it?.

-Bye.

-Goodbye.

-Weren`t they sweet?.

-Very.

Well, l`ll, uh-- l`ll go get ready for dinner.

BOB:
Here you are, boys.

-Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much.

How do you do?. I`m Mrs. Fenway.

May I come in?. Thank you.

I`m extremely sorry that your suite

has not been tidied up. May we do it now?.

-Ha, ha, yes.

-Thank you. Come along, girls.

And do get a wiggle on.

There simply wasn`t a chance till now.

The other couple stayed and stayed.

I do hope we`re not inconveniencing you.

It really doesn`t matter, we`re going down

to dinner in a moment.

When you come back,

everything will be perfect.

-Business is good here at the hotel.

-Splendid. Every bed is taken.

We`ve had a rather tempting offer

for the use of the billiard table.

Anyone special staying here?.

Well, we have Major Thomas Milvaine...

...the flyer who shot down

all those Japs.

And then we have the daughter

of J.P. Bancroft.

-Oh, really?.

-Yeah, she just arrived. Do you know her?.

No, I know her father.

We`ll have to look her up.

Then we have-- Uh, who else?. Let me see.

[NlLS SlNGlNG

LEONCAVALLO`S ""VESTl LA GlUBBA""]

Oh, of course, the Great Dane.

Nils Knudsen of the Metropolitan Opera.

He`s one of our regular patrons.

He comes here to take off weight,

a hundred pounds.

A very nice man, but a bit

of a problem child when he`s on a diet.

I have to be quite severe with him.

CYNTHlA:
Pardon me.

-Oh, there`s my wife. Will you excuse me?.

Of course, I do hope

you`ll enjoy your stay here.

I expect to.

[WOMAN SlNGlNG ""l SHOULD CARE""]

Bob, look, Tommy Dorsey,

the same orchestra.

Same as what?.

Don`t you remember

the first evening we spent together?.

Of course, I do.

I remember every second of it.

But that night,

I wasn`t noticing orchestras.

HOST:
What is the name, if you please?.

-Robert Delbar.

Oh, yes, Mr. Delbar.

This way, if you please.

-Bob, l`ve seen that man somewhere.

-ln opera probably. That`s Nils Knudsen.

Oh, of course.

NlLS:
Is that all I get?.

-Yes, sir, that is all.

No dessert?.

Well, I could maybe

bring you another carrot.

Oscar, do I even look a little like a rabbit?.

No. Oh, no, no, sir.

But your diet says only vegetables.

Vegetables. The only vegetables I like

are steak and beer.

-Bring me some right away.

-No, sir.

You heard what I said.

But you said that no matter what you say,

I am to say, "" No, sir.""

-But, Oscar, only a little steak. A little beer.

-No, sir.

But look at me.

I am so empty, so thin.

-I could ask maybe Mrs. Fenway.

-Never mind. She`d say no.

-lt`s funny.

-What?.

-Our being married.

-You`re not sorry already?.

Oh, no, darling.

When I said, ""l do,"" I meant it.

But after all, Bob, we really don`t know

each other so very well.

Well, we should.

We`ve had time to study each other.

Yes, a whole month.

And what a month.

You know, being courted by you was like

being swept over Niagara Falls in a canoe.

[BOTH LAUGH]

FENWAY:
Good evening, John.

-Good evening, Mrs. Fenway. Good evening.

-Oh, Nils, good evening.

-Good evening.

-And how are you tonight?.

-Oh, same as last night, Sara.

Healthy, but hungry.

Oh, Oscar, I think l`ll take

the noodle soup...

...roast duck with lots of dressing,

asparagus with hollandaise sauce...

...potatoes au gratin

and a double-chocolate sundae.

And take away those dishes.

Oh, Oscar.

Can you tell me who that beautiful--
