You Gotta Stay Happy Page #4

Who is she?

Oh, excuse me.

Miss Blucher.

Fix her...

Miss Blucher, I'd like

you to meet Mr. Hebert.

He's our host.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Dick, I realize

this might seem odd...

Please, don't insult

my intelligence with

any fantastic explanations.

Well, now that

you're here, Dick,

and everything's

straightened out,

Marv and I can run along.

We're due to leave for

California in an hour...

Oh, no, you don't.

You stay right here,

the both of you.

You're not going to

leave any unconscious

female on my hands.

You don't leave unless

she leaves with you.

Mustrt worry about me.

I'm perfectly all right.

There she goes!

Oh, please don't

go to sleep again.

I'm all right.

Listen, Miss Blucher,

where would you like

the boys to take you?

To California with them.

But of course!

Oh, no.

Can't do that.

No, no, that'd

be impossible.

I want to get

out of town,

far away.

Marv, you understand,

after last night.

You were so wonderful.

Sure, sure, I guess

you probably want to get away

and get a fresh start.

Fresh start. Yes.

Fresh start.

Oh, take me with you.

You've got to

take her someplace.

I don't care where,

as long as it's out

of this hotel.

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

That's the wedding party.

I'll go clean up

the other room.

Come on, Marv. Let's go.

We can't just go away

and leave her

when she's in a jam.

(DOORBELL BUZZING)

That's the time to go.

Go let them in, Bullets,

and stall them

until I get there.

Okay.

And if they want

to come in here,

tell them the room

is closed temporarily.

Hey, maybe I get

to kiss the bride.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Where are her clothes?

She doesn't have any.

What?

No, she came in here

last night,

just the way she is.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Well, she can't

go out that way.

Maybe I have

something here.

Hold that.

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

You think these will do?

Well, they'll have to do.

Now, look, Miss Blucher.

I want you to concentrate.

Do you think you'll be able

to stand up alone?

Of course.

Fine.

BULLETS:
Oh, come right in,

you must be the organist.

Would you like to

warm up the organ?

Sit down.

Play us a little tune.

We'll have

to dress her.

WOMAN 1:
Is there a room

where Mom and I

can freshen up?

WOMAN 2:

Why, probably right in here

through this door, honey.

You'll excuse us, everybody?

BULLETS:
Oh, I'm afraid not.

No, no, not in here.

This room is

closed temporarily.

You know, it's a mighty

cute little doll that's

getting married in there.

Redhead, name of Georgia.

Marrying a soldier,

mother had to bankrupt herself

to pay for the wedding.

You know, none of those people

in there ever been in a fancy

hotel like this before?

OPERATOR:
Going down?

Here, take this.

Yes, sir.

Put her in the corner,

will you?

Well, did you say something

about going down, or did you

change your mind?

Yes, sir.

HENRY:
Just a moment.

Good morning.

Good morning, sir.

(CLEARS THROAT)

My bill please, 2303.

CLERK:
Yes, sir.

CLERK:
Oh, Mr. Benson,

your receipt.

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)

(INAUDIBLE)

Hey, wake her up when you get

to New York, and then take her

where she wants to go.

Okay.

Hey, where are we?

This is Newark.

Listen, I gave the...

I mean, I gave that cab

10 bucks to take you

wherever you wanted to go.

No. A cab can't take me

as far as I...

Look, Miss Blucher.

Now, you said something about

going to California with us.

I'm sorry, that's impossible.

Oh, take me with you, Marv.

There are all sorts of ways

you can get there.

You can take the regular

passenger airline.

You can take a train or a bus.

Why don't you take a boat

through the Panama Canal?

No, I can't go any other way,

because I haven't any money.

Of course,

I'll pay you back later.

It isn't a question of money.

This is a cargo outfit

and we're not supposed

to carry passengers.

But there must be some way

you can take me.

Please, Marv,

I have to get out of town

for just a little while.

Well, take me

half of the way.

I'm sorry, no passengers.

We've got new regulations.

Good morning, Jack.

I thought you guys

were gonna leave early.

Yeah, so did we.

We got slowed down

a little at the hotel.

Afraid it was my fault.

So?

Jack, this is Miss Blucher.

This is Jack Samuels,

our freight agent.

How do you do?

Am I keeping you up?

Mmm-mmm.

Just a little early

for me, that's all.

Well, look,

let's get going, huh?

How about the load, Jack?

It's great, great.

I got you another

1,000 pounds.

Magazines, paper clips

and some live lobsters.

The lobsters

I have not yet loaded.

Why not?

Because once those lobsters

are aboard, the contract says

you gotta go, hot or cold.

How's about

the weather west?

If we lose this load,

we're out of business.

So we're going, all right.

The mail must go through.

I wish we had some mail

to carry.

Then I could sit in back

and sort it,

instead of sitting up in front

staring into the overcast.

JACK:
You'll have to make up

the time someplace.

That coffin has got

to be at the Garden Of

The lmmortals cemetery

by 10:
00 tomorrow morning.

The chimpanzee is set

to open a show tomorrow.

We promised to deliver him

on time and in good health.

We'll do that, all right.

Now, you two guys

load the lobster.

I'll file a flight plan.

Uh...

Miss Blucher's going with us.

JACK:
She is?

Yeah, put her down

as personnel.

Thanks, Marv.

As far as Chicago.

Bullets will tell you

when we're ready to take off.

Say, Marv,

as a stockholder in Payne Air,

is it permitted to ask...

I withdraw the question.

Got the cash for the gas?

Certainly, indeed.

There you are, 100 turnips.

Thanks.

Hey, Bullets,

when you get out

to the airplane...

GEORGIA:
Mr. Baker!

Mr. Baker?

Pardon me, Prexy.

Some old friends.

BULLETS:
Hello.

Glad to see you made it.

I was getting worried.

We sure were afraid

we were gonna be late,

Mr. Baker.

Yeah, it was so exciting,

Mr. Baker.

Glad you made it,

Mrs. Goodrich.

Well, I guess

you can call me Georgia,

Mr. Baker.

Hi, Georgia.

I feel like we're old friends.

My name is Milt.

Hi, Milt.

Where's the plane?

Right over here.

There she is.

She's an old campaigner, too.

Got a great war record.

Bucket seats?

It is said of Payne Air that

our bucket seats are the most

comfortable in the industry.

They hurt you when you sit.

Not if I'm sitting

on your lap.

BULLETS:

You're absolutely correct.

Oh, Marv... Captain Payne,

this is Mr. And Mrs. Goodrich.

How do you do?

How do you do?

How do you do?

Mrs. Goodrich,

doesn't that sound funny?

Newlyweds?

Oh, they were married

this morning at the hotel.

You're on your

honeymoon, huh?

Well, yeah, I guess

you could say that, yes.

Hey, why don't you go over

to the plane and wait around?

We're gonna take off

pretty soon.

Okay.

Come on, sugar lump.

All right, lover man.

Captain Payne,

we're sure gonna enjoy

our trip on your airline.

What'd she say?

(STAMMERING)

I sold them a round trip

to California and back.
