Because God made thee mine

I`ll cherish thee

Through light and darkness

Through all time to be

And pray his love

May make our love divine

Because

God made thee

Mine

THOMAS [WHlSPERS] :

Cynthia.

Cynthia, you come out

or l`ll come in.

[WHlSPERS]

Tommy, let`s say goodbye in the morning.

-May I come over there?.

-No. You know the rule. No hedgehopping.

-Oh, Cynthia. You know, you--

-Now, you stay right there...

...and not so loud, please.

Well, can you hear me

way over there?.

Perfectly. Well?.

Well, l`m not going away tomorrow.

I`ve decided to stay another week.

Maybe longer.

In fact, just as long as I can.

Oh, say you`re glad or sorry

or something.

I`m glad or sorry or something.

-l`ll see you tomorrow.

-You`ll see me now.

You know Bob won`t be here,

don`t you?.

I heard so. No, not from you.

Why didn`t you tell me?.

I knew you`d stay.

You don`t want me to?.

-Yes, Tommy, I want you to stay.

-Well--

On your side of the hedge.

-Oh, always?.

-Always.

So you see, you might just as well leave

as soon as you can.

[LAUGHS]

No. I don`t quite see it that way.

Tommy, no matter how long

my husband`s away...

...I`m not going to let you make love

to me.

Oh, Cynthia, I love you too much

to want you for just a little while.

Please remember what I said

if you do stay.

All right, but l`m going to stay.

All right, but don`t forget the hedge.

I wanna make a long-distance call

to Washington.

Mr. Robert G. Delbar

at the Hotel Grand View.

[PHONE RlNGlNG]

Hello?. Hmm?.

Oh, Cynthia. Hello, dear.

Bob, can you come back right away?.

Huh?.

Why?. Anything the matter?.

No, no, everything`s fine. I`m fine. But--

-Oh, Bob, l`m lonesome.

-Well, so am l, darling.

But l`ll have to ask you to be patient

just a little longer.

But you can`t expect me to leave

in the middle of a big deal.

The sensible thing for you to do

is to meet some people...

...and find some things to do.

And l`ll be with you just as soon as I can.

[SlGHS]

All right, Bob. Good night.

[BAND PLAYlNG JAZZ MUSlC]

-Oh, hello.

-Hello, Mr. Knudsen.

-l`m awfully happy to find you here.

-I am happy myself to be here.

-Maybe I can get you a drink.

-Oh, yes, please.

And hold my hand and don`t let it go

until it`s another day.

-lt is sweet and it is sad.

-What is?.

That a beautiful woman should look at me

as a perfect chaperone.

Oh, come on, darling.

Darling, meet the boys.

Boys, meet Mrs. Delbar.

ALL:
How do you do?.

-Mrs. Delbar.

-Won`t you join us?.

-Thank you. To you.

ALL:

Good cheer.

No. Don`t look like that.

Look like this.

I`m going to cheer you up.

[SlNGlNG]

Let`s all drink a toast

And be happy and gay

[SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

I`ll sing you a song

And the music will play

[SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

Let`s have a good time

And let`s everyone sing

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

For we never know

What tomorrow may bring

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

We`ll drown all our sorrows

And be of good cheer

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

Who cares if it`s wine

Or a big stein of beer

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

NlLS:
Now this is the night

For us all to rejoice

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

So you raise your glasses

And I`ll raise my voice

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

Drink up everybody

If you`re feeling dry

Come on, bottoms up

Here is mud in your eye

[SlNGlNG lN FORElGN LANGUAGES]

[SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

[ALL SlNGlNG lN FRENCH]

Hurray

[APPLAUSE]

-Good morning, Mr. Knudsen.

-Good morning.

-Lovely night, wasn`t it?.

-Lovely.

-Oh, and it`s such a lovely day.

-Ah, lovely.

[CYNTHlA CHUCKLES]

-Good morning, Maude.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Oscar.

-Good morning.

-Lovely day, isn`t it?.

-lt might rain yet.

Uh, has Major Milvaine

been down to breakfast yet?.

No, Mrs. Delbar,

I haven`t seen him today.

Will you ring Major Milvaine`s room

please?.

Checked out?.

Last night?.

Thank you.

-He will not be here?.

-No.

Won`t you have breakfast with me?.

I`ve had mine. One glass of orange juice.

A little one.

One egg. A little one.

He has gone away?.

Mr. Knudsen,

do you really have to diet?.

A doctor said I would be weller.

Just bring me some coffee, Oscar.

See that man over there?.

NlLS:

Who couldn`t?.

Why don`t you ask him

if you have to diet?.

He`s one of the biggest stomach men

in the country.

-I can see that.

-No, I mean he`s a doctor, and a good one.

Oh, he looks like a man

who would understand me.

Now, maybe I can help you, maybe.

I don`t want to butt my nose

into none of my business...

...but you have got trouble too.

-No.

-Yes, I know.

I have lived a lot and looked a lot...

...and felt a lot and I know.

Please ask me something.

I`ll be all right. I`ve made up my mind.

Your mind, what`s minds?.

Just things to think with.

It`s here you feel.

Have you made up your heart?.

Little young Mrs. Delbar,

in my life I have done good things...

...and I have done bad things.

But I am only a little sorry

now for the things I did.

I am very sorry for the things I didn`t did.

Oh, that is all I will say.

Forgive me for saying so much. Will you?.

Of course. Excuse me.

-To your very good health.

-To yours. I love you.

Nils, what are you doing?.

Doctor`s orders.

[SlNGlNG]

Ooleeay, ooleeay, ooleeay

Some more beer

[SlNGlNG]

Ooleeay, ooleeay

More beer right away

For I want what I want when I want it

That`s all that makes life worthwhile

For the wine that tonight

Fills my soul with delight

On the morrow may seem to me vile

There`s no worldly pleasure myself I deny

There`s no one to ask me

Wherefore or why

I eat when I`m hungry

And drink when I`m dry

For I want what I want when I want it

I want what I want

When I want it

Major Milvaine,

are you going to be back with us again?.

-For a while, I hope. Hello, Mr. Knudsen.

-Hello.

THOMAS:

Mm-hm.

-Doctor`s orders.

-Will you join us?.

No, thank you, Mrs. Fenway.

Excuse me.

Hello, Major Tommy.

Why don`t you go for a walk

on the sunset trail?.

[THOMAS CHUCKLES]

Thank you.

[SlNGlNG]

I eat when I am hungry

Some of your boiled beef and potatoes.

Yes, sir, boiled beef and--

Boiled beef and potatoes?.

Ooh, one boiled beef coming up.

One boiled beef coming up.

I`m sorry, sir, but Mrs. Delbar

is not in the hotel right now.

I believe she went out for a walk.

May I take a message?.

You will arrive here tomorrow morning?.

Yes, Mr. Delbar.

I`ll see that she gets your message.

Goodbye.

THOMAS:

Cynthia!

Tommy.

Well, hello.

I had to come back.

Please let me stay, on your terms.

No, hedgehopping, no, no anything.

We won`t talk about us.

If you just let me see you...

...and be near you and walk with you,

I won`t talk at all.

You could say a word or two.

How was the ocean?.

Very large and very lonesome.

Now, Tommy.

Well, you asked for it.

Oh, look, what a darling little brook.

THOMAS:

Shh.

[WHlSPERS]

It thinks it`s a waterfall.

[WHlSPERS]

Maybe we discovered it.

Yeah, maybe.

I don`t remember this part of the woods.

I don`t think we ever came this far before.
