very much some of your music.

I`m sorry.

I am too weak to sing.

-Even one song?.

-Even one note.

Uh, wait, I might sing for a price.

Well, l`m afraid we can`t pay

your regular fee.

Uh-- Uh.

Is-- ls-- Is Mrs. Fenway around?.

No, I think she went to bed.

Then my price for a song

shall be a steak.

-No.

-As big as that one. Uh, bigger.

Mr. Knudsen, l`ll meet your terms.

And there must also be mashed potatoes,

and onions and beer.

It`s a deal.

What are you gonna sing for us,

Mr. Knudsen?.

Jeg Elsker Dig, by Grieg.

-Jeg Elsker Dig.

-And please make it rare.

Jeg Elsker Dig.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Knudsen

has consented to sing Jeg Elsker Dig.

Uh, Jeg Elsker Dig, fellas.

Jeg Elsker Dig.

Oh, Susan, Jeg Elsker Dig, by Grieg.

-What key?.

NlLS:
D Major, please.

So that`s what you call "" I love you.""

[SlNGlNG lN DANlSH]

[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]

For thee alone my every thought is burning

Happy my heart if good I bring to thee

Where`er God wills

My path in life be turning

I love but thee

I love but thee

I love but thee

Through all eternity

I love

But thee

Through all eternity

[APPLAUSE]

-Nils, did you order this?.

-Yes.

How thoughtful of you.

Thank you so much,

a steak is just what I wanted.

Excuse me.

Here`s another one.

I arise from dreams of thee

In the first sweet sleep of night

When the winds are breathing low

And the stars are shining bright

I arise from dreams of thee

And a spirit in my feet

Had led me-- Who knows how?

To thy chamber-window, sweet!

-Well, you know that one?.

-Shelley.

-Right, you ` re wonderful.

-Thank you. Got anymore?.

Mm-hm.

Yeah. Yeah, here`s one.

The moon belongs in the sky

The water in the sea

But to be honest, I don `t greatly care

If they are where they ought to be

If you are with me

-I don`t know that one. Who wrote it?.

-Milvaine.

-Who?.

-T. Milvaine.

-You?.

-Me.

-When?.

-Just now.

It`s getting a little chilly.

I think l`ll go inside.

-Good night, Tommy.

-Good night.

-Oh, hello, Mr. Knudsen.

-Hello, Major Tommy.

I know just how you feel.

Was the one you couldn`t have

very beautiful?.

The most beautiful thing I ever saw.

With a husband?.

With onions and mashed potatoes.

[LAUGHS]

-Mr. Knudsen?.

-Yes, Lyonel.

-You were in fine voice the other night.

-Thank you.

-Mr. Knudsen.

-Yes.

-I sing too.

-You do?. Good.

I`d like to hear you. Well, go ahead.

Now?.

Here?.

In front of you?.

[STAMMERS]

l-- l-- Excuse me.

[LAUGHS]

[SlGHS]

What time does, uh,

Bob get in tomorrow?.

He said he`s be here in time for dinner.

Cynthia, I wanna thank you

for a very pleasant week.

I wasn`t having much fun here,

then you arrived and you were very friendly.

Oh, you were a big help to me too,

Tommy.

I`d have been quite lonely

if I hadn`t picked you up in the pool.

-Oh, but I picked you up.

-Well, we picked each other up.

And now we have to put

each other down.

Of course.

But we did have a very amusing week,

didn`t we?.

I had a very beautiful week.

And it`s not quite over.

There`s still tonight.

-Well, time for your swimming lesson.

-My graduation exercises.

-Are you ready?.

-Fairly ready.

All right, let`s go.

Let`s go.

[BAND PLAYlNG SWlNG MUSlC]

You see, he swings and I duck,

and then l-- Hey, you`re not listening.

No. I`ve heard it all twice.

Now, go away.

-Huh?.

-Far away.

-Hey, what`s the matter with you?.

-You`re the matter.

What?.

Oh, no. He`s the matter with you.

It`s a case of sour apples,

that`s what it is.

Oh, go away.

-Go away and knock yourself out.

-Now--

Oh, but it is nice to be in love.

-Sometimes.

-Always.

-You speak as an expert.

-I do. An expert is what I am.

You should be.

You`ve been in love often enough.

Not often enough,

but as often as possible.

I remember every girl

as if she were yesterday.

What a memory.

And I daresay, there were....

Dozens and dozens.

You see, I went on long tours

with opera companies.

Could I sing all the time?.

I`m glad I fell in love so much.

It`s good for the voice.

Besides, it gives me something

to think about now.

Now, stop looking wistful.

You know you can`t have any beer.

-People can love what they can`t have.

-Yes. But they shouldn`t.

-And don`t you be a gossip.

-I just made a remark.

-What time are you leaving tomorrow?.

-ln the morning, early, quite early.

Where are you going?.

Oh, I thought l`d spend the rest of my leave

at some place by the ocean.

I wanna see if I can swim

in salt water too.

-Telegram for you, Mrs. Delbar.

-Thank you.

-Excuse me.

-Uh-huh.

-Not bad news, I hope.

-No, no. Not at all.

-You sure?.

-Yes.

-You seem upset.

-Well, l`m not. Not a bit.

-Why should I be?.

-I don`t know. I didn`t see the telegram.

You`re not going to.

Tommy, what kind of a telegram

would you send your bride?.

Not any kind. Not on our honeymoon.

Oh, l`m sorry. I know he had to go.

KARNY:

Hey, wait a minute.

[SCREAMS]

[ALL LAUGHlNG]

Help, Maude.

Poor K.O.

Muscles, muscles, everywhere,

but none in his head.

-What happened?.

-I pushed him in.

Oh.

Uh-- Uh.

[CYNTHlA LAUGHlNG]

-I think you know Major Milvaine.

-Yes, as well as can be expected.

Anyhow, let`s all have

a small but powerful drink.

Oh, not for me, thank you.

I was just going up to my room.

Good night, Maude.

Good night, Tommy.

-But, Cynthia--

-l`ll see you in the morning.

-l`m leaving very early.

-l`ll be up very early. Good night.

All right.

-Do you have to go tomorrow?.

-Oh, yes.

-For good?.

-Yes.

Whose good?.

-You are, aren`t you?.

-l`m what?.

In love with her.

Ha, ha. No.

MAUDE:
Scotch and soda, please.

-The same for me.

-She`s very attractive.

-She`s very married.

Oh, l`m talking about love.

Please get this straight.

-I am not in love with Mrs. Delbar.

-All right. I believe you.

Not because you say so,

but because you`re passing up a chance...

...to be with her for another week,

maybe longer.

When I talked to my father

on the telephone...

...he didn`t know

when he could get out here.

But I don`t quite understand

what your father has to do with this.

That`s why Bob Delbar`s waiting,

isn`t it?.

So that he can come out with Dad?.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

LYONEL [SlNGlNG] :

Please don`t say no

Say maybe

Or say come back in the spring

Say any old thing

But don `t say no

Please don `t say no

`Cause, baby

I`ve so much love to impart

It`s making my heart overflow

Be sweet and kind

And keep this thought in mind

While you think it over

So it is you. I thought so.

Come on.

Now, what are you going to sing for us,

Lyonel?.

"" Because. ""

-ls that okay with you?.

-Surely. We`ll follow him.

[SlNGlNG]

Because you come to me

With naught save love

And hold my hand

And lift mine eyes above

A wider world of hope and joy I see

Because

You come to me

Because you speak to me

In accents sweet

I find the roses

Wakening by my feet

And I am led through tears

And joy to thee

Because

You speak to me
