KNOCK AT DOOR

0:03:100:03:12

RHYTHMICAL KNOCKING

0:03:120:03:14

KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:03:140:03:16

BUTLER: Mr Drake.

0:03:170:03:20

KNOCKING CONTINUES

0:03:310:03:33

Come in.

0:03:360:03:38

-Seven o'clock, sir.

-Hm?

-It's seven o'clock.

0:03:400:03:43

-PM.

-Oh, thank you.

0:03:430:03:45

Are you engaged in this household to call time signals?

0:03:510:03:55

No, sir.

0:03:550:03:57

Then, spring out of here.

0:03:580:04:00

Oh, Byngham.

0:04:020:04:04

-Yes, sir.

-Er...

0:04:040:04:07

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:04:070:04:09

Would you say I was inebriated last night?

0:04:100:04:13

Oh, no, sir. Although you had Whiffin cook you six pancakes

0:04:130:04:17

-and you spent an hour trying to play them on the Victrola.

-Hmm.

0:04:170:04:22

How did they sound?

0:04:220:04:24

Much better after you put the syrup on.

0:04:240:04:27

Although I wouldn't say you were inebriated.

0:04:270:04:30

-HE MUTTERS

-Go and tell my valet to come into my room at once.

-Yes, sir.

0:04:300:04:35

O'Brien.

0:04:390:04:41

-O'Brien.

-Yeah, what do you want?

0:04:430:04:46

Mr Drake wants to see you in his room.

0:04:460:04:48

Oh, tell the old f... # ..folks that I'm coming and they will sit all night... #

0:04:480:04:54

-Morning, boss.

-Morning.

-I found an unopened letter in your evening clothes, sir.

0:04:540:05:00

-It arrived about four weeks ago.

-Are you trying to rush me into reading it?

0:05:000:05:05

-I say, intruding on the man's leisure.

-Yeah.

0:05:050:05:08

I don't want to be unpleasant, Byngham

0:05:080:05:11

but SCRAM out... Ohhh.

0:05:110:05:13

There, sir.

0:05:140:05:16

-What's this?

-It's a letter. Byngham put it there.

-Oh, yeah.

0:05:180:05:22

Somebody should read it.

0:05:230:05:26

Well, what do you think of that?

0:05:300:05:33

-This is the end.

-What does the letter say, sir?

0:05:350:05:39

-Read it yourself.

-Yes, sir.

0:05:390:05:41

"Having failed to fulfil your many promises

0:05:440:05:47

"to make payments on your obligation,

0:05:470:05:50

"...the bank has instituted foreclosure proceedings on your property.

0:05:500:05:56

"You will have approximately 60 days to vacate the premises.

0:05:560:06:00

"Yours very...

0:06:000:06:02

-"Yours very..."

-Cordially.

0:06:020:06:04

Oh, yeah. "..cordially,

0:06:040:06:06

"the National Bank of Manhattan."

0:06:060:06:09

-You have 30 days left, what will you do?

-Do?

0:06:090:06:12

I'll show you what I'm going to do.

0:06:120:06:14

INTERCOM BUZZES Hello.

0:06:180:06:20

Listen, Whiffin, I want you to whiff up...

0:06:200:06:23

whip up, a super supper for - let me see - eight guests.

0:06:230:06:28

Yes. Make it a gastronomical masterpiece.

0:06:280:06:32

Yes, sir.

0:06:320:06:33

-Who's coming?

-Just get my evening clothes.

0:06:330:06:36

-You'd better invite the man who wrote the letter.

-Yeah, I...

0:06:360:06:40

-Shoot the soup. I'm draping the droop on the galoop.

-Are the guests paying?

0:06:410:06:47

-Don't be mercenary.

-I'm not, I'm broke.

-We all are.

0:06:470:06:50

-I haven't cooked so much since Mr Drake's wife left.

-Maybe that's why she left. Hey!

0:06:500:06:56

-Are you boiling that beret?

-I'm giving it a wash and polish.

0:06:560:07:01

It needs a change of oil, too.

0:07:010:07:03

-Do you know why the staff hasn't been paid for seven months?

-Just an oversight, I suppose.

0:07:040:07:10

The piano business hasn't been good lately.

0:07:100:07:13

-It's been bad since he fell heir to it.

-Hmm.

0:07:130:07:17

-A lack of salary is awkward but we all love Mr Drake so.

-He loves you all so.

0:07:170:07:22

-Hi, Mill.

-Hi, Michael.

-Ready with the pumps? Hello, cute and adolescent.

0:07:220:07:27

-I've finished adolescing.

-Don't rush it.

0:07:270:07:30

Yeah, ageing takes time. Shut up, junior.

0:07:300:07:33

She's only three days older than me.

0:07:330:07:36

-How's your biography coming on, Marty?

-Swell.

0:07:360:07:39

­ I found that the Drakes built their original house right here in 1622.

0:07:390:07:45

< They didn't come on the Mayflower, they met it.

0:07:450:07:48

And the original Drake harpsichord still exists. It's hidden in this very house.

0:07:480:07:54

-Millie!

-Now what have you done?

0:07:570:08:00

-Oh, I didn't mean to.

-I'll fix it. Hand me the flour.

0:08:000:08:03

-Not much damage.

-Not much shirt.

0:08:030:08:06

-After 20 years in this house.

-Anybody can make a mistake.

0:08:060:08:10

- She's nobody. - And she wants to go to the Butlers' Ball.

0:08:100:08:14

-The Butlers' Ball?!

-Some day I will.

-Sure you will.

0:08:140:08:18

But it's a very dignified event in New York.

0:08:180:08:21

Soon there won't be enough butlers to throw a ball. Here.

0:08:210:08:25

Thank you, Michael.

0:08:270:08:29

You're wonderful.

0:08:290:08:31

I'm quite popular with myself, too.

0:08:310:08:33

It's what comes when a club singer turns valet. Back to work.

0:08:330:08:38

Go to the laundry and bring up some bath towels

0:08:380:08:41

-without mutilating them.

-Yes, sir.

0:08:410:08:44

That's the trouble with a scullery maid... Ow!

0:08:450:08:49

I know how I feel. How do I look?

0:08:490:08:51

-Good enough to be buried.

-What?

0:08:510:08:53

I mean that as a compliment.

0:08:530:08:56

-Miss Sandy Brooks.

-Sandy! What brings you here?

0:08:560:08:59

30 bucks a week, with room and board.

0:09:010:09:04

30...? Oh, yeah. It all comes back to me now.

0:09:040:09:07

-Usually does.

-Mr Drake, you remember Sandy,

0:09:070:09:11

-my vaudeville partner.

-Hello.

0:09:110:09:13

She's... Oh, yes, I haven't see you in a long time.

0:09:130:09:17

Not since you engaged me last night.

0:09:170:09:19

-I engaged you?

-Yes.

0:09:200:09:23

-As social secretary.

-Remember?

0:09:230:09:25

You were a little stiff.

0:09:250:09:28

Sir, the gastronomical masterpiece is ready

0:09:280:09:31

-but there are no guests.

-Never mind that.

0:09:310:09:34

-Will you join us?

-Delighted.

0:09:340:09:37

-Mr Drake.

-THEY ALL GASP

0:09:500:09:52

-Evening, everybody.

-ALL: Evening.

0:09:520:09:55

-Mr Drake, if...

-Calm down, Byngy. This is Miss Sandy, our social secretary.

0:09:550:10:01

-How do you do?

-Did I ask you to prepare dinner for eight?

0:10:010:10:05

Right. One, two, three, five, eight.

0:10:050:10:08

-You are my guests.

-You want to dine with us?

-No, I want YOU

0:10:080:10:12

to dine with ME. Go in and find your places.

0:10:120:10:15

-Yes, sir. As you wish.

-I wish.

0:10:150:10:17

If I'd known, I'd have changed my dress.

0:10:170:10:20

If I'D known, I'd have washed the tomatoes.

0:10:200:10:23

Millie, you will serve.

0:10:230:10:25

-Start with sherry.

-Yes, sir.

0:10:260:10:28

Now, everybody sit down.

0:10:310:10:33

-Including me.

-SANDY: It's a democratic household.

0:10:330:10:37

You're going to love it here.

0:10:370:10:39

I propose a cheer to Mr Drake, to whom we owe so much - and vice versa.

0:10:390:10:44

ALL: Hooray!

0:10:440:10:45

Hooray!

0:10:450:10:46

This is a dramatic moment. I don't remember when I've been as touched.

0:10:470:10:52

It was seven months ago.

0:10:520:10:54

Yes, I...

0:10:540:10:56

I see what you mean.

0:10:560:10:58

I want you to know that over 300 years ago,

0:10:580:11:01

the Drake family established themselves on this very site.

0:11:010:11:06

As you know, the family prospered and amassed a great fortune.

0:11:060:11:10

It ran into a ridiculous figure.

0:11:100:11:13

All went well until 1941 when, unfortunately, a catastrophe occurred.

0:11:130:11:18

What has happened?

0:11:180:11:20

I have been picked clean by buzzards.

0:11:200:11:23

I have vultures in my investments.

0:11:230:11:26

And today my creditors discredited me.

0:11:260:11:29

That... Oh, that was my end.

0:11:290:11:32

-And he's flat on it.

-Don't be down in the dumps. It ain't bad as dumps go.

0:11:320:11:38

-And it goes in 30 days.

-ALL: What?!

0:11:380:11:40

This is the RICH Mr Drake(?)

0:11:400:11:42

-Now known as that shlemiel.

-< Mr Drake,

0:11:420:11:45

this is very sad but not unexpected.

0:11:450:11:48

You needed the steady influence of your wife and daughter.

0:11:480:11:52

-I didn't know you had a daughter.

-< Oh, yes.

0:11:520:11:55

Pamela lives with her mother. Mrs Drake ran off with a man...

0:11:550:11:59

Whiffin, do not discuss my family.

0:11:590:12:02

Ohh!

0:12:020:12:04

Wait, Byngham. She hasn't been paid for seven months.

0:12:040:12:08

She can drop noodle soup on her own time.

0:12:080:12:11

I'm sorry. Thank you, Michael.

0:12:110:12:13

Just a moment. Why isn't she sitting down with us?

0:12:130:12:17

She can't, she has a low seniority.

0:12:170:12:19

She has? I didn't notice that.

0:12:190:12:22

She is the servants' servant.

0:12:220:12:25

Snobs, eh? Well, dear, you take my seat and I'll serve.

0:12:250:12:29

-I couldn't, sir.

-Of course you can.

0:12:290:12:32

Take the head of the table. Sit down. That's it.

0:12:320:12:35

-Thank you, sir.

-That's all right.

0:12:350:12:38

-You remind me of my father.

-Really?

0:12:380:12:40

Just before he died.

0:12:400:12:43

That gives me a great idea. It solves our problems. He had a daughter

0:12:430:12:48

and if that daughter was here now,

0:12:480:12:50

she'd be a debutante and be able to marry a rich guy and we'd all get paid.

0:12:500:12:55

So we take a dame. That's our bait.

0:12:550:12:58

We sugar her with swell clothes and call her Pamela Drake,

0:12:580:13:02

-the daughter of Cyrus Drake, the piano tycoon.

-It's costly to launch a debutante.

0:13:020:13:08

-We can help, we have a 5th Avenue mansion.

-Yes, for 30 days(!)

0:13:080:13:12

Katherine Keating's coming out.

0:13:120:13:15

Who cares? I was in show business.

0:13:150:13:17

We'll build our deb up with publicity.

0:13:170:13:20

It sounds plausible. I don't overlook a good investment.

0:13:200:13:24

Yeah, Mom's got dough. We...

0:13:240:13:27

-We need a girl to play the part.

-I am at your disposal.

0:13:270:13:30

OK, you're disposed of.

0:13:300:13:33

Mr Drake,

0:13:330:13:34

-is Millie like your daughter?

-ALL: Millie?!

0:13:340:13:37

-I'm not like anyone.

-You are.

0:13:370:13:39

We struck a gold mine. Sandy, you can help us polish Millie.

0:13:390:13:44

-I don't want to be polished.

-< Nevertheless, sister,

0:13:440:13:48

you're a debutante.

0:13:480:13:50

I don't like it.

0:13:500:13:51

You'll have the time of your life.

0:13:510:13:54

And, besides, you'll be rich.

0:13:540:13:56

Wait. Maybe she HAS a guy. Have you?

0:13:560:13:58

Have you?

0:13:580:14:00

-Well...

-Uh-oh.

0:14:010:14:03

SANDY: Is he in love with you?

0:14:030:14:06

I don't think so.

0:14:070:14:09

Who is he?

0:14:090:14:11

Oh, he's um...

0:14:110:14:14

He sings to me from his window across the way.

0:14:140:14:17

I er...

0:14:170:14:19

We just wave at each other... like that.

0:14:190:14:22

I guess you can't get into any trouble just waving.

0:14:230:14:27

Millie, do you want to go to the Butlers' Ball?

0:14:270:14:31

-More than anything else in the world.

-You're going.

0:14:310:14:34

Not only that, she can sponsor it.

0:14:340:14:37

-Byng, you can fix that.

-Well, er...perhaps.

0:14:370:14:40

Will you do it?

0:14:400:14:42

-MAID: You'll have a big house. WHIFFIN: And a limousine.

-What do you say?

0:14:430:14:48

Yes.

0:14:480:14:50

-ALL: Hooray!

-The first corporation meeting will be tomorrow.

0:14:500:14:54

We all share equally in Millie Incorporated.

WOMAN: There. It is finished.

0:18:220:18:25

MAN: Exquisite. WOMAN: I am stunned.

0:18:250:18:27

-So am I.

-She is beautiful.

0:18:270:18:29

-Am I really?

-Even I'D be beautiful in that.

0:18:290:18:33

OK, chum. Here's your money.

0:18:330:18:35

-Thank you for paying in cash. It's quite unusual for me.

-Me, too.

0:18:350:18:39

Come along, Rita.

0:18:390:18:42

It's wonderful what clothes can do for a girl.

0:18:420:18:45

-It's wonderful what a girl can do for clothes.

-Let's get to work.

0:18:450:18:50

Oscar, carry these boxes upstairs. Yes, m'm.

0:18:500:18:54

OSCAR: That sure is a transformation, Millie.

0:18:540:18:58

-What's that?

-A book.

0:18:590:19:01

-I can't read it that way.

-It's for learning how to walk.

0:19:010:19:06

-I CAN walk.

-That's what YOU think. Watch me.

0:19:060:19:09

You see, a debutante has to do the society slink.

0:19:090:19:12

Like this.

0:19:150:19:17

-Sort of sneers with her feet.

-All right.

0:19:180:19:21

-Sneer with my feet?

-Right.

0:19:230:19:25

-Sneer.

-Slink.

0:19:250:19:28

-Sneer.

-Slink.

0:19:280:19:30

The book is too light. Try Gone With The Wind.

0:19:300:19:33

-My feet hurt.

-You've got to get it.

-Try this one.

0:19:330:19:37

-Oscar, play some walk music.

-Walk music?

0:19:370:19:40

-Nobody walks when

-I

-play. >

-Play it.

0:19:400:19:42

And we'll go over that lesson again.

0:19:420:19:45

-OK. Oscar, go.

-HE PLAYS JAZZ PIANO What's your name?

-Millie.

0:19:450:19:49

-BOTH: What?!

-Pamela.

-Where are you from?

-Switzerland.

0:19:490:19:53

-What's your father's name?

-He's dead.

-BOTH: What?!

0:19:530:19:57

-Mr Drake.

-Good. What are you going to be?

0:19:570:20:00

-Sick.

-Oh, brother.

0:20:000:20:02

Michael, please. I'll try again.

0:20:020:20:05

All right. Here we go.

0:20:050:20:07

-What are you going to be?

-Debutante number one.

0:20:070:20:11

-Who's Katherine Keating?

-The girl I have to lick.

-Good!

0:20:110:20:15

Oh, dear, that settles it.

0:20:150:20:17

-Did the publicity break?

-Like a cloudburst, and all over me. Look!

0:20:170:20:22

-Who's that?

-Millie.

-Oh.

0:20:230:20:25

-Millie?!

-It's great. It says your daughter arrived.

0:20:270:20:31

It also says my wife Emily arrived.

0:20:310:20:34

A daughter we can do but half the town knew my wife.

0:20:340:20:37

So what? That's easy. Sandy can be Mrs Drake.

0:20:370:20:40

They know what she looks like.

0:20:400:20:43

After 15 years of wear and tear? She's a natural.

0:20:430:20:46

-Meet your husband.

-How do you do?

0:20:460:20:48

-Only within the corporation.

-We'll vote on it.

0:20:480:20:52

-Millie, meet your mother.

-How can she be my mother?

0:20:520:20:56

-She's never met my father.

-Television.

0:20:560:20:58

What'll they wear next?

0:20:580:21:00

You know, Millie.

0:21:020:21:05

You know, it's dangerous for a girl to be as attractive as you are.

0:21:050:21:09

Oh, Michael.

0:21:090:21:11

I'm too happy to talk and I'm too excited to keep quiet.

0:21:110:21:15

-Shall we sit down?

-Yes, Michael.

0:21:150:21:18

-I must warn you about something.

-What?

-Wolves.

0:21:190:21:22

-In New York?

-Packs of them.

0:21:220:21:24

They'll be howling after you.

0:21:240:21:26

The higher-bracket wolves have sharper claws.

0:21:260:21:30

-First, there's the creepy wolf.

-Is he dangerous?

0:21:300:21:33

He's no vegetarian. He puts his arms round you,

0:21:330:21:37

presumably to fix your collar,

0:21:370:21:39

and softly and slowly his hands rest on your shoulders.

0:21:390:21:43

His paws just stay there?

0:21:430:21:45

No, no, they keep going down, down.

0:21:450:21:48

"Pretty soft touch," he thinks.

0:21:480:21:50

-He wants to see if I am tender?

-Hmm?!

0:21:500:21:53

Michael, how do I make a man BE a wolf?

0:21:530:21:56

Oh, well, you...

0:21:560:21:58

-Why?

-You want me to get a rich husband.

0:21:580:22:01

Oh, Millie, you're just bait.

0:22:010:22:03

If you put bait on a hook, you don't expect it to do that.

0:22:030:22:07

-Will I know if I meet the right man?

-You'll know.

0:22:070:22:10

You'll look at some guy and he'll look at you

0:22:100:22:14

and you'll look at each other. It just clicks.

0:22:140:22:17

What clicks?

0:22:180:22:20

Your blood fizzes like ginger ale. You're walking on air.

0:22:200:22:24

-Your heart pumps noises into your head.

-Clicking noises?

0:22:240:22:29

Yes.

0:22:290:22:31

Tell me more.

0:22:310:22:33

Another type of wolf is the hand-kisser.

0:22:340:22:37

He'll admire your hand: "What a lovely hand."

0:22:370:22:40

He starts kissing and then he nibbles, like it's spare ribs.

0:22:400:22:44

We're playing a game.

0:22:500:22:52

-He's a wolf and I'm pretty soft.

-Yeah.

0:22:520:22:55

Um... er...I was showing her a few things I picked up.

0:22:560:23:00

From the things you picked up.

0:23:000:23:03

-That's it...

-DOOR BELL RINGS

0:23:030:23:05

Mickey, tell the man at the door to come back in 60 days.

0:23:070:23:11

We'll be put out in 30 days.

0:23:110:23:13

That's the point. Oh. All right.

0:23:130:23:15

What about the woman? < Tell her the same.

0:23:150:23:19

Yeah? Good morning, I'm Frank Sinatra.

0:23:210:23:23

What?

0:23:250:23:27

Just a moment, please.

0:23:290:23:31

Don't you feel well? Oh, I...

0:23:310:23:34

I feel wonderful.

0:23:340:23:37

Well, shall we pull ourselves together?

0:23:370:23:40

Did you come to see me? No. I came to see

0:23:400:23:43

the young lady that waves like that.

0:23:430:23:45

Oh.

0:23:450:23:47

The one who waves like that?

0:23:470:23:49

Mm-hm.

0:23:490:23:51

She's in here. Come on.

0:23:510:23:53

It's for you. His name is Sinatra.

0:23:550:23:58

-How do you do?

-How do you do?

-Hello.

0:23:590:24:01

-I brought you flowers.

-For me?

-And a new song.

0:24:010:24:05

-Oh, thank you.

-Sweet(!)

0:24:050:24:07

You haven't been waving lately. I thought you were ill.

0:24:070:24:11

Oh, no, I feel swell.

0:24:110:24:14

We know each other from across the courtyard.

0:24:140:24:17

-So it's you.

-It's indecent. How would your father feel?

0:24:170:24:21

-Am I doing wrong?

-You're not doing bad.

0:24:210:24:24

-May I ask your name?

-It's Millie...

-< It's a nickname.

0:24:240:24:27

-Her real name is Pamela Drake.

-Of THE Drakes.

0:24:270:24:31

Oh, I'm sorry. It's rather silly.

0:24:310:24:33

I thought Miss Drake was a member of staff.

0:24:330:24:36

I apologise. BOTH: The staff accept your apology.

0:24:360:24:40

Is there something wrong with your head?

0:24:400:24:43

Oh, no. I'm just learning to walk.

0:24:430:24:45

-It's a delayed case.

-She's preparing for her debut at the Butlers' Ball.

0:24:450:24:51

Oh, I'm singing at the Ball. Our chambermaid asked me.

0:24:510:24:55

You mean...

0:24:550:24:56

-GENTEEL ACCENT:

-Oh, how very nice.

0:24:560:24:59

Is this a love song?

0:24:590:25:01

-No, it's a torch ballad.

-Oh, a hot tune, ain't it?

0:25:010:25:04

Ain't it?

0:25:040:25:05

Won't you please sing it for me now? Oscar will play.

0:25:050:25:09

-Well, I...

-You see, Pamela...

0:25:090:25:11

-Don't mind Michael. He's only the valet here.

-Yes, I'm only the...

0:25:110:25:17

Oscar, would you play this for my...friend?

0:25:170:25:20

For your friend I'll play it extra well.

0:25:200:25:23

He may sing us out of a fortune.

0:25:230:25:25

# I couldn't sleep a wink last night

0:25:320:25:39

0:27:150:27:26

-That's beautiful.

-Thank you.

0:27:270:27:30

I think it's fine, too. Thank you, too.

0:27:300:27:33

That was great. See you at the Butlers' Ball.

0:27:330:27:36

Maybe I'll sing for you. That'll be peachy.

0:27:360:27:39

-I'll see my friend out.

-So long.

0:27:390:27:42

Mrs Keating and Miss Keating. Hello. I'm Mrs Keating, this is my daughter Katherine.

0:27:430:27:50

How do you do? < FRANK: How do you do?

0:27:500:27:52

I'm an old friend of Mrs Drake.

0:27:520:27:55

I'm a stranger here myself.

0:27:550:27:57

This is Miss Drake. Goodbye.

0:27:570:27:59

-Don't work too hard.

-I don't since we got the new vacuum cleaner.

0:27:590:28:04

< Goodbye.

0:28:040:28:05

Goodbye. Goodbye.

0:28:050:28:07

-So you're Pamela.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Well, well, well.

0:28:070:28:11

So your mother and father are making up.

0:28:110:28:14

I never believed those rumours about him. You remember Katherine?

0:28:140:28:19

-Don't you?

-Well, I er...

-When you were tiny you used to scratch each other.

-Did we?

0:28:190:28:25

Mother, please. And now you're rival debutantes.

0:28:250:28:28

Tell me, darling. How did you leave dear, wonderful Lucerne?

0:28:280:28:33

Oh, er...

0:28:330:28:35

She's quite well, thank you.

0:28:350:28:37

-Mother meant Lucerne, Switzerland.

-Oh, I don't know her at all.

0:28:370:28:42

She don't.

0:28:420:28:44

Do excuse Miss Drake. She's very tired -

0:28:440:28:47

trying on gowns, posing for pictures. You know.

0:28:470:28:51

-You go and get changed.

-All right, Mother.

0:28:510:28:54

She always calls me Mother. They all do. I mother them so.

0:28:540:28:58

Sandy, who was singing in here? Bing Crosby?

0:28:580:29:01

Bing bang Sinatra.

0:29:010:29:03

Well, he'll never get anyplace. Ohhh! Oh...

0:29:030:29:06

-Cyrus, aren't you going to speak?

-Of cour... Of cour...

0:29:060:29:11

-Of course, dear. How are you?

-Don't you remember me?

0:29:110:29:14

How could I forget a face like yours? So well preserved.

0:29:140:29:18

-Have you seen Pamela? Oh, hello.

-Hello, Mr Drake.

-HE GIGGLES NERVOUSLY

0:29:180:29:23

She always calls me MISTER Drake. So respectful, don't you think? Er...

0:29:230:29:29

-Oh, yes. Come along, darling.

-Good afternoon.

0:29:290:29:32

Shall we sit down? Who's this?

0:29:340:29:36

-That's my daughter Katherine.

-Oh, little K-K-Kathy. Yes.

0:29:360:29:40

-Do sit down. What brings you here, Georgia?

-Today's paper.

0:29:400:29:45

Today's paper?

0:29:450:29:47

We read about Emily and Pamela and came right over. And another thing -

0:29:470:29:52

Katherine hoped to be this season's debutante

0:29:520:29:56

and I wondered if you'd mind waiting until next year to bring Pamela out.

0:29:560:30:01

We couldn't do that. I'll tell you why. Could we?

0:30:010:30:05

BOTH: No!

0:30:050:30:07

May I present my secretary and my secretary.

0:30:070:30:10

We just must bring Pamela out this year.

0:30:100:30:13

-I'd better have a word with Emily.

-Yes, do that.

0:30:130:30:16

-No, please.

-Where is she?

-She's under the weather.

-Really?

0:30:160:30:20

-She's got it. She's had it for some time.

-Ohh.

0:30:200:30:24

-Can't get rid of it.

-SHE TUTS

0:30:240:30:26

Mr Drake, the committee agrees. Pamela can sponsor the Butlers' Ball.

0:30:260:30:31

-The Butlers' Ball?!

-Oh, yes.

0:30:310:30:33

-All right, Byngham.

-I'll speak to Emily later.

0:30:330:30:37

SHE SINGS TO HERSELF

0:30:370:30:40

-Oh, Mrs Keating. Are you leaving?

-I'm afraid we must.

0:30:500:30:54

Oh, too bad. Do come and see us again.

0:30:540:30:57

-Thank you.

-If you're not busy on Friday, do come to my party.

0:30:570:31:01

-And bring her.

-I er...

0:31:010:31:03

If it's at all possible. Thank you. Thank you.

0:31:030:31:06

Goodbye.

0:31:060:31:09

Oh! It's formal.

0:31:090:31:11

Good evening. Welcome to the 37th annual Butlers' Ball.

0:31:210:31:25

The committee extends its thanks to members, generous patrons

0:31:250:31:30

and our honoured sponsor - a charming and beautiful young lady.

0:31:300:31:35

A member of a distinguished family. A favourite for number one debutante -

0:31:350:31:40

Miss Katherine Keating. APPLAUSE

0:31:400:31:44

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

0:31:500:31:53

It is a privilege to be here this evening.

0:31:530:31:56

I'm honoured to be chosen as your sponsor.

0:31:560:31:59

Thank you.

0:31:590:32:02

(Psst. Hey, Byngham.)

0:32:050:32:08

HE MOUTHS

0:32:080:32:11

Mr Speaker, you've made a mistake.

0:32:140:32:17

How did that Keating dame pull that off?

0:32:170:32:19

-I guess she's got a better butler.

-And he probably gets paid.

0:32:190:32:24

Ladies and gentlemen, we have two sponsors.

0:32:270:32:30

The second is also charming and gracious and a member of a distinguished family.

0:32:300:32:36

A close rival for number one debutante - Miss Pamela Drake.

0:32:360:32:40

Ladies and...

0:33:030:33:05

Ladies and gentlemen,...

0:33:050:33:07

this is a very gr...

0:33:070:33:09

Oh. This is...very...great...

0:33:090:33:12

-LAUGHTER

-..evening...

0:33:120:33:14

It's gone.

0:33:160:33:18

(Say something.)

0:33:180:33:20

Well, anyway...

0:33:200:33:22

All... All my life I've dreamed of attending the Butlers' Ball.

0:33:220:33:28

And just think...

0:33:280:33:30

Here I am.

0:33:300:33:32

POLITE LAUGHTER

0:33:320:33:34

I'm so happy. I can't believe it's poor little me.

0:33:350:33:40

I wouldn't be surprised to wake up in the morning

0:33:400:33:43

and find I had been dreaming,

0:33:430:33:45

that I haven't been here at all.

0:33:450:33:48

LAUGHTER

0:33:490:33:51

-I have never...

-(Pipe down.)

0:33:540:33:56

I have never piped down.

0:33:570:33:59

LAUGHTER

0:33:590:34:01

What a delicious sense of humour.

0:34:010:34:04

I have never sponsored anything before

0:34:040:34:07

in my life,

0:34:070:34:09

although I've heard it done by the soap man

0:34:090:34:12

-on the radio.

-LAUGHTER

0:34:120:34:14

(What's that?)

0:34:140:34:17

And I want you to know that...

0:34:170:34:20

the bar will close at two o'clock.

0:34:200:34:22

LAUGHTER

0:34:220:34:24

RAUCOUS LAUGHTER

0:34:260:34:28

She's wonderful.

0:34:320:34:34

Well, I...I'd just like you...

0:34:350:34:39

I just want to say that...

0:34:400:34:43

that this is the most wonderful night of my life.

0:34:430:34:46

And I hope that the man there

0:34:460:34:49

will let me come down onto the floor and let me dance.

0:34:490:34:54

Just once.

0:34:540:34:56

Thank you.

0:34:580:35:00

ANNOUNCER: You bet we will, Miss Drake.

0:35:000:35:03

Spoken like a true Drake - sweet, simple and incoherent.

0:35:030:35:07

Would our two beautiful sponsors step down to the floor

0:35:070:35:11

to receive a small token from our committee?

0:35:110:35:14

Oh, Mike, I'm frightened.

0:35:170:35:19

It's all right. Remember to sneer with your feet.

0:35:190:35:22

-And keep your mouth shut.

-Yes, Mr Drake.

0:35:220:35:25

Mr Drake.

0:35:250:35:27

-Hello.

-Hello.

0:35:370:35:40

The presentation will be made by a special guest.

# The music stopped

0:35:570:36:03

# But we were still dancing

0:36:040:36:08

# Which goes to show

0:36:090:36:12

# That music has charms

0:36:130:36:18

# The lights were low

0:36:180:36:24

# So we went on dancing

0:36:240:36:28

# I felt the glow

0:36:290:36:34

# Of you in my arms

0:36:350:36:41

# The band had left the stand

0:36:410:36:45

# And we were in heaven

0:36:450:36:48

# Dancing on a cloud

0:36:500:36:53

# Way off in the blue

0:36:530:36:58

# The music stopped

0:36:580:37:04

# And people were glancing

0:37:050:37:09

# But we went on dancing

0:37:100:37:14

# For we didn't know

0:37:150:37:20

# Because the lights were low

0:37:200:37:26

# And we were in love

0:37:260:37:30

# The band had left the stand

0:37:320:37:35

0:38:140:38:23

We'll fulfil Miss Drake's request

0:38:340:38:36

and ask the sponsors and their escorts to lead the dancing.

0:38:360:38:41

Miss Drake's escort is a new member -

0:38:410:38:43

Mr Michael O'Brien.

0:38:430:38:45

Yes, fine.

0:38:470:38:49

To add to our galaxy of celebrities >

0:38:490:38:51

we have Miss Keating's escort, a man of ancient lineage.

0:38:510:38:56

May I present Sir Victor Fitzroy Victor, KB, OBE?

0:38:560:38:59

KB, OBE? He sounds like a radio station.

0:39:020:39:05

Yes, but it has a nice ring to it.

0:39:050:39:07

-Hmm, like a cash register.

-Maybe we can tap it.

0:39:070:39:10

You mean he might be a likely prospect for Millie?

0:39:100:39:14

A capital candidate.

0:39:140:39:16

Well,...as chairman of the corporation

0:39:160:39:19

I shall give him consideration.

0:39:190:39:22

Sir Victor, further introductions aren't necessary - just call me Mike.

0:39:220:39:27

-The same goes for me.

-OK, Mike.

0:39:270:39:30

Thank you, Mike.

0:39:300:39:32

Oh, Pamela, may I present Sir Victor Fitzroy Victor, KB, OBE.

0:39:320:39:36

-How do you do?

-How do you do?

0:39:360:39:38

-Oh, good evening, Miss Keating.

-Good evening.

0:39:380:39:42

Sir Victor, they're waiting for us.

0:39:420:39:44

Er... Excuse me.

0:39:440:39:46

-Looks all right.

-Oh, yes.

0:39:490:39:51

Just like the dough from now on.

BAND PLAYS "The Music Stopped"

0:39:540:39:56

Mike...

0:40:000:40:03

I feel wonderful.

0:40:030:40:05

-My blood is fizzing like ginger ale.

-HE CHUCKLES

0:40:060:40:09

I'm walking on air.

0:40:090:40:11

And I'm hearing strange noises.

0:40:130:40:15

SHE CLICKS HER FINGERS

0:40:170:40:19

-What's that?

-Doesn't it mean anything to you?

0:40:190:40:23

Sounds like a cricket.

0:40:230:40:25

-It's a click.

-All right. Put it away. You can play with it at home.

0:40:250:40:29

Mr Sinatra has lovely round notes.

0:40:330:40:35

But they're not negotiable.

0:40:350:40:38

-You have to keep your mind on Sir Victor.

-Sir Victor?

-Yes.

0:40:380:40:42

-Miss Drake is a graceful dancer.

-Yes.

0:40:430:40:46

He isn't half bad. I'm sure the corporation will OK him.

0:40:460:40:50

-For what?

-For your husband.

0:40:500:40:52

He's wealthy and he has a swell title.

0:40:520:40:55

He's not MY idea of a husband.

0:40:550:40:57

-He's satisfactory to the corporation.

-Don't

-I

-have a say?

0:40:570:41:01

Sure, sure. You say yes when we tell you to.

0:41:010:41:04

Here he comes now. Try to make an impression on him.

0:41:040:41:08

He's smiling. You've impressed him.

0:41:170:41:20

-Are the Drakes people of means?

-Oh, I guess they have money.

0:41:210:41:26

-I'm going to suggest that we change partners.

-Oh, no.

-Why not?

0:41:260:41:30

I don't know how to dance with foreigners.

0:41:300:41:33

Here he comes.

0:41:380:41:40

We'll stall till he catches up to us and then I'll ask him.

0:41:400:41:44

-What's wrong?

-I seem to be shorter on one side.

0:41:490:41:52

You dance like you're on a hill.

0:41:520:41:55

-What step is that?

-Maybe it's housemaid's knee.

0:41:560:42:00

-Stop it, will you?

-Michael, I can't help it.

0:42:010:42:05

Well, that's a strange dance she's doing.

0:42:050:42:08

LAUGHTER

0:42:080:42:10

Stop. Think of the corporation.

0:42:100:42:13

Mr Drake is looking at us. Pull yourself together.

0:42:130:42:16

Yeah. That's better.

0:42:200:42:22

Say, are you getting smaller?

0:42:240:42:26

-I lost my shoes.

-What?!

0:42:290:42:31

Oh, well, he can't see them.

0:42:310:42:34

Michael, I don't want to dance with anyone else but you tonight.

0:42:360:42:40

Don't be silly. You've got to dance with the millionaire.

0:42:400:42:45

No, no, no, no, no!

0:42:450:42:47

Hey! Your hair. Your hair is coming down.

0:42:470:42:50

Fix your hair. Fi... Come on. Ohh.

0:42:530:42:56

Look, he's looking.

0:42:560:42:58

Fix it up, dear, that's it.

0:42:580:43:00

That must be the American Indian dance I've heard so much about.

0:43:010:43:05

Haven't you any more hairpins?

0:43:050:43:08

No, let it go. I often wear it that way.

0:43:080:43:11

Millie's falling apart.

0:43:110:43:13

So's Mom's bankroll.

0:43:130:43:15

Sir Victor is behind us. I'm going to ask him.

0:43:150:43:19

Oh, can't we dance around just once more?

0:43:190:43:22

No, no. This is business.

0:43:220:43:24

LAUGHTER

0:43:320:43:34

My dress!

0:43:350:43:36

Thank you, Sir Victor.

0:43:390:43:41

-I hope you don't mind.

-Not at all.

0:43:510:43:53

Well, Miss Drake, we seem to be left alone.

0:43:530:43:56

Shall we?

0:43:560:43:58

SHE SINGS TO HERSELF

0:44:130:44:15

-COCKNEY ACCENT:

-Last night was wonderful.

0:44:150:44:18

Everyone was there, even Mrs Vanderwater's butler.

0:44:180:44:22

Wasn't Pamela Drake a panic?

0:44:220:44:24

She was better than the entertainers.

0:44:240:44:27

And, you know, she looked just like a kitchen maid

0:44:270:44:30

I used to work with over in Long Island.

0:44:300:44:34

-Ah, look at her now.

-Sarah, the ball is over.

0:44:340:44:38

-Yes, ma'am.

-One picture of me, ten of her. In this one she's shaking hands

0:44:380:44:43

with a waiter. Here she is applauding herself.

0:44:430:44:46

If you ask me, Mr Drake bought up every editor in town.

0:44:460:44:50

You'd have got more pictures if you'd dropped your girdle.

0:44:500:44:54

Oh, Mother, I don't understand this.

0:44:540:44:57

Pamela Drake arrives in town,

0:44:570:44:59

unheralded and unheard of and becomes a social sensation.

0:44:590:45:04

Katherine, I don't think she IS Pamela Drake.

0:45:040:45:07

What?! We'll find out on Friday.

0:45:070:45:09

Mother, you're not going to that party of hers.

0:45:090:45:13

We certainly are...now.

0:45:130:45:15

She's probably got morning jitters.

0:45:150:45:19

-The newspaper notices will cure her.

-Uh-oh.

0:45:190:45:22

-Has she scrammed?

-I don't know. Look in there.

0:45:230:45:26

-Yes?

-No.

0:45:270:45:29

She probably didn't sleep a wink.

0:45:290:45:32

Hey, Mike.

0:45:340:45:36

Millie!

0:45:360:45:37

What are you doing there?

0:45:370:45:39

-It's Wednesday.

-What's that got to do with it?

0:45:390:45:43

I always scrub the steps on Wednesday.

0:45:430:45:45

-Great - a photo of Pamela Drake cleaning the stoop(!)

-Come in.

0:45:450:45:50

Some debutante.

0:45:500:45:52

-Good morning.

-Hello.

-Are you getting your exercise?

0:45:550:45:59

No, just scrubbing the steps.

0:45:590:46:02

-I came to congratulate you. You were wonderful last night.

-I thought I was, too.

0:46:020:46:08

Say, what's the idea...? Oh!

0:46:080:46:10

-You only have to do that for the photographers.

-The things those papers think up.

0:46:100:46:16

-I didn't know...

-She's so forgettable.

0:46:160:46:19

-I brought you flowers.

-That's swell.

0:46:190:46:22

-She means it's nice.

-Where do you get these flowers?

0:46:220:46:25

-My old man owns a flower shop.

-That's nice, too. Come on, Pamela.

0:46:250:46:30

You have a lot of cheques to sign.

0:46:300:46:33

-Play with your pail later.

-She's off to the beach.

0:46:330:46:36

-Loves the water.

-Blows bubbles.

0:46:360:46:39

-Bye, Pamela.

-Goodbye. See you at the window.

0:46:390:46:42

SHE WHISTLES

0:46:440:46:46

Hello.

0:46:460:46:47

So long.

0:46:470:46:50

0:46:500:46:52

Now, wait a minute. # Nobody else is going to get you

0:46:520:46:56

# I saw you first I guess I'm in it.

# I suddenly found myself in clover

0:47:130:47:15

# I tumbled flat You sure did.

0:47:150:47:18

# That was the time that you took over

0:47:180:47:21

# If someone else wants to try this love scene we rehearsed

0:47:210:47:25

What'll I tell 'em? # Just tell them I saw you first

0:47:250:47:29

# I'll try to remember that I saw you first

0:47:490:47:52

# That does it

# You gave it this

HE PLAYS "I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night" by Frank Sinatra

0:48:250:48:29

Lovely thing you're playing Victor, what is it?

0:48:350:48:38

It's a piano.

0:48:400:48:42

Very funny. Why did an excellent musician like you learn the piano?

0:48:420:48:47

My teacher couldn't play any other instrument.

0:48:470:48:50

I should have known better.

0:48:500:48:52

Hmm. Here's a nice picture of you and Pamela Drake.

0:48:550:48:59

-You're quite photogenic.

-The continental police thought so. They took lots of photos of me.

0:48:590:49:06

Well...

0:49:060:49:08

"Among another notables attending the Butlers' Ball

0:49:090:49:13

"was Victor Fitzroy Victor, KB, OBE."

0:49:130:49:16

The title you gave me is a tongue-twister.

0:49:160:49:19

-And attractive to rich ladies like Miss Drake.

-I see what you mean.

0:49:190:49:23

-Do you mind if read the paper?

-Not at all.

I am the 4th assistant managing director.

0:49:440:49:47

-Oh.

-Mr Green, a word, sir. >

0:49:470:49:49

Mr Henry, I'm unable to pay my bill this week.

0:49:490:49:53

You said that last week. Well, I kept my word.

0:49:530:49:56

You did. Mr Henry, if he told you

0:49:560:49:58

that he couldn't pay and didn't - he kept his word. So you owe him an apology.

0:49:580:50:04

Quite. I told Mr Green that if he didn't pay I'd turn him out.

0:50:040:50:08

-I am going to keep MY word.

-Quite.

0:50:080:50:11

Mr Henry, don't be upset over such a small thing.

0:50:110:50:14

You see, Sir Victor is going to marry Pamela Drake.

0:50:140:50:18

Drake? Last week you said Katherine Keating.

0:50:180:50:21

-That was last week.

-But Miss Keating has 1 million and Miss Drake has 2 million.

0:50:210:50:27

-Two.

-Oh.

0:50:270:50:29

Quite. Quite.

0:50:290:50:31

-Quite.

-Quite, quite.

Sir Victor?

0:50:450:50:47

Compliments of Miss Drake. She's sorry she poured the champagne down your back.

0:50:470:50:53

Oh...that's perfectly all right.

0:50:530:50:56

-Isn't it unorthodox, her sending me flowers?

-Very odd girl.

0:50:560:51:00

Her father's rather odd, too.

0:51:000:51:02

He wants to invite you to Miss Drake's coming out party on Friday.

I think it would fit in with our plans.

0:51:070:51:10

-Ours too, thank you! I mean, thank you.

-Thank YOU.

0:51:100:51:13

-You see, Mr Henry - Mr Drake.

-Yes, indeed. Let's forget that little matter of the bill for now.

0:51:130:51:20

Let's forget it indefinitely.

0:51:200:51:22

Mr Henry, is there a flower shop in this hotel?

0:51:220:51:26

Yes, a beautiful flower shop.

0:51:260:51:28

Would you exchange these for two bottles of beer?

0:51:280:51:31

Two... Er... Oh, quite.

0:51:310:51:33

Hey, step on it. Sir Victor has arrived and the rest of the guests are due.

0:51:370:51:42

Millie, that's sensational.

0:51:420:51:45

-If she can't hook a fish in that, we can dissolve the corporation.

-Sir Victor will melt.

0:51:450:51:51

OK, kid. Come down those stairs like you're entering snobby lobby. Come on, gang.

0:51:510:51:57

Michael.

0:51:580:52:00

Will he ask me to marry him tonight?

0:52:000:52:03

I don't see how he can help it. If I were him, I would.

0:52:030:52:06

-Would you, Michael?

-Sure.

0:52:060:52:08

And I'd say yes, Michael.

0:52:080:52:10

That's my girl. The corporation will be proud

0:52:100:52:14

and I'm very grateful because, after all, I started this.

0:52:140:52:18

Well, good luck, kid.

Are you trying to kidnap me?

0:54:510:54:53

No, I asked you to meet me

0:54:530:54:55

-because I have something to ask you.

-Oh?

0:54:550:54:58

-Frank?

-Mmm?

0:55:000:55:02

How do you feel about marriage?

0:55:020:55:04

Well, I think that marriage is an institution

0:55:050:55:09

that no family can do without.

0:55:090:55:11

Are you in love?

0:55:130:55:15

-No.

-Oh, that's wonderful.

0:55:160:55:20

It is?

0:55:200:55:22

-Because now you're unbiased.

-I am?

0:55:220:55:24

-Sure.

-Swell(!)

0:55:240:55:26

Frank, it's like this.

0:55:260:55:29

I've got to marry a man but I don't love him.

0:55:290:55:32

Oh, that sort of thing.

0:55:330:55:35

Well, why do you have to?

0:55:350:55:38

Because the man I love wants me to.

0:55:380:55:40

-He does?

-Yes.

0:55:400:55:42

Isn't that an odd way for him to show he loves you?

0:55:420:55:46

-He doesn't love me.

-He doesn't?

-No.

0:55:460:55:48

Oh. Have you told him you love him?

0:55:480:55:52

-No.

-No?

0:55:520:55:54

Oh, no. I'm waiting for him to find out he loves me.

0:55:540:55:57

You know, I seem to be confusing you.

0:56:000:56:03

Let's sit down and start all over again.

0:56:040:56:07

Now, how does the guy you're going to marry feel about this?

0:56:130:56:17

Oh, he hasn't proposed yet.

0:56:170:56:19

What does your father say?

0:56:200:56:22

Mr Drake isn't my father.

0:56:220:56:24

-I'm just his daughter.

-Mm-hm.

0:56:270:56:29

Temporarily.

0:56:290:56:31

Until I marry the rich man.

0:56:310:56:33

-Rich man.

-You can see it's a desperate situation.

0:56:330:56:37

Oh, yes.

0:56:370:56:39

A very desperate situation.

0:56:390:56:41

-Frank.

-Mm-hm?

0:56:420:56:44

How would you go about making someone fall in love with you?

0:56:440:56:48

Well, if it were a certain someone I met at your house,

0:56:500:56:55

I would take her for a walk in the park.

0:56:550:56:57

And we would sit down - like this.

0:56:570:57:00

And, without confusing her, I'd say...

Would you ask Miss Pamela to come down?

0:59:010:59:04

She's already down...and out.

0:59:040:59:06

-Out where?

-Out's a big place.

0:59:060:59:09

-Out with her nightingale.

-You didn't say anything.

0:59:090:59:12

-I could say something.

-Run along and pass your...things.

Hello, Byngy.

0:59:160:59:18

-Where have you been?

-Inviting my friend to the party. Mr...

0:59:200:59:24

Yes. We've heard that name before. Mr Drake.

0:59:240:59:28

-You remember our good friend.

-Mm-hm.

0:59:280:59:30

-How do you do?

-How are you, Mr Fitzroy?

0:59:300:59:33

-His name is Sir Victor, Millie.

-And hers is Pamela.

0:59:330:59:37

-I...

-Don't apologise. I get my name mixed up, too.

0:59:370:59:40

Pamela, would you like to walk in the garden?

0:59:400:59:44

-I'd love to.

-Good.

0:59:440:59:46

Sir Victor, Pamela would love to take a walk.

0:59:460:59:49

Well, I should be delighted.

0:59:490:59:51

Miss Keating.

0:59:530:59:55

-Yes?

-Would you like to take a walk in the garden?

-Well, I...

-Frank.

0:59:551:00:00

-Yes?

-Miss Keating would love to take a walk in the garden.

1:00:001:00:04

Well, I...

1:00:041:00:06

-I would be delighted.

-I knew you would.

1:00:081:00:11

We'd be OK if she'd forget that songbird.

1:00:171:00:20

We could poison his birdseed.

1:00:201:00:22

-Would YOU like to take...

-Yes, I would. Right now.

1:00:221:00:25

Oscar. Yeah?

1:00:331:00:35

Can you give me some advice? I've got more than enough of that.

1:00:351:00:40

< What's wrong? Every time I catch a man, he catches someone else.

1:00:401:00:45

< You just haven't caught the right man.

1:00:451:00:48

But if I find a man, what'll I say?

1:00:481:00:50

You can have someone advise you.

That is, when you buy a precious stone.

-Such talented staff. Where did you find them?

-I opened my pocketbook and there they were.

1:03:161:03:22

-I want to ask you something.

-Carry on.

1:03:221:03:25

Did you have more than one daughter?

1:03:251:03:28

Well...that I wouldn't know. My wife took care of those matters.

1:03:281:03:33

Where did you find Millie? The scullery maid.

1:03:331:03:36

Oh...the scullery maid. Oh...er... I got her

1:03:361:03:40

-from a SCULL mate of mine.

-Where is she?

1:03:401:03:43

-In the scullery.

-There's no-one in there.

-No?

1:03:431:03:46

I'll go and put somebody there.

1:03:461:03:48

The cook said Millie was upstairs.

1:03:481:03:51

-Millie, upstairs?

-I understand she's taking care of Emily.

1:03:511:03:55

-Oh, dear. Er... Of course, I'd forgotten all about that.

-How IS Emily?

1:03:551:04:00

-She's worse. Broke her leg.

-What?!

-We almost had to shoot her.

1:04:001:04:05

-What happened?

-She was under the weather and coming out from under it...

1:04:051:04:10

-she did it.

-How?

1:04:101:04:12

Well, say this is the weather.

1:04:121:04:14

Well, she was under it and coming up... Right there.

1:04:141:04:19

Oh, awful. Had to have it hemstitched.

1:04:191:04:22

May I say something frightfully boring and mean it?

1:04:221:04:26

You're the most extraordinary girl I've met.

1:04:261:04:29

Lately, I'm the most extraordinary girl I'VE met. But I wasn't always this way.

1:04:291:04:35

-You weren't?

-No, I was just ordinary before I became Pamela Drake.

1:04:351:04:40

-Before you became Pamela Drake?

-Mm-hm.

-When was that?

1:04:401:04:44

Oh, it seems like a long time ago.

1:04:441:04:46

Although it really wasn't.

1:04:461:04:48

Oh, you mean you were reincarnated?

1:04:481:04:51

-No, I was incorporated.

-Incorporated.

1:04:511:04:54

-Is that the same thing?

-Not exactly.

1:04:541:04:57

Incorporated is when you are in a corporation.

1:04:571:05:00

Reincarnated means you have lived as someone else.

1:05:001:05:04

-That's me all right.

-That's you?

1:05:041:05:06

Say, what were you in this other life?

1:05:061:05:09

-A scullery maid.

-A scu...!

1:05:091:05:11

-Wonderful.

-It wasn't so bad.

1:05:131:05:15

In fact, I think I liked it better than being Pamela Drake.

1:05:151:05:20

Have you ever been reincorporated?

1:05:201:05:22

Er... Well, I have had several lives before I became Victor...

1:05:221:05:27

Victor... Victor something.

1:05:271:05:30

-What were you before?

-A crook.

1:05:301:05:32

I mean a cook. I cooked up music. Piano.

1:05:321:05:35

-I'll bet that was nice.

-Yes, I love music.

1:05:351:05:38

-Shall we sit down?

-Uh-huh.

1:05:391:05:42

Tell me, Pamela,

1:05:451:05:47

-were you married in this former life?

-Oh, no.

1:05:471:05:51

Would you like to be in this life?

1:05:521:05:55

Oh, yes. To the right man.

1:05:561:05:59

When the right girl meets the right man

1:06:001:06:03

at the right time -

1:06:031:06:06

everything is right.

1:06:061:06:08

Isn't it?

1:06:081:06:10

-Hey, how's it going?

-Pretty good, so far.

1:06:131:06:16

They're getting very chummy.

1:06:161:06:18

-He's asking her something.

-What's she's saying?

-She's saying...

1:06:181:06:23

He's coming in the house.

1:06:231:06:25

-Here he comes.

-Go and get the lowdown from her.

-OK.

1:06:261:06:30

Millie, how did it go?

1:06:341:06:36

-Have we struck gold?

-He proposed.

-Great, we'll clear a dividend.

1:06:361:06:41

-When's the wedding?

-I haven't told him I would yet.

1:06:411:06:45

You haven't told him you would?

1:06:451:06:47

Michael, I'm in love with someone else.

1:06:471:06:50

Love! Don't start that routine. You'd sacrifice this for some guy

1:06:501:06:55

who doesn't even know you're alive?

1:06:551:06:58

Doesn't he, Michael?

1:06:581:07:00

Of course not. He's got maids all over town.

1:07:001:07:03

Do YOU have maids all over town?

1:07:051:07:07

Well, er... Yeah, sure.

1:07:071:07:10

I guess you're right, Michael.

1:07:151:07:18

Oscar. Fanfare, please.

1:07:281:07:31

1:07:431:07:46

We're in.

1:07:471:07:49

Pamela, are you sure you know what you're doing?

1:08:001:08:03

SHE SNIFFS TEARFULLY

# If the one you've always longed for

1:08:101:08:16

# Remember, when it's love

1:08:221:08:27

# You're on your own. #

1:08:271:08:35

Miss, I think a wedding is the happiest moment in a girl's life, don't you?

1:08:401:08:46

-Yes. If you're the bride.

-That's the main part of the happiness.

1:08:461:08:50

-Will Miss Drake be Sir Lady Victor?

-Do you think I care?

1:08:501:08:54

Never you mind, he wasn't good enough for you.

1:08:541:08:58

-Good heavens, Sarah, I didn't want him.

-No? I thought you did.

1:08:581:09:02

Mother has an affinity for titles.

1:09:021:09:05

-Personally, I prefer Mr Sinatra.

-Oh, him.

1:09:051:09:08

-He looks like someone I heard on the radio.

-Ready, darling?

1:09:081:09:12

Yes, Mother. Sarah, you're coming with us.

1:09:121:09:16

-Me? To the wedding?

-I'm sure Miss Drake will be delighted to see you.

-Huh?)

1:09:451:09:48

(Run up and get her, quick.)

1:09:501:09:52

-Where's Millie?

-In the attic.

-Why?

-For a piece of my great-grandmother.

1:10:031:10:08

-What?

-A good luck trinket. Old, new, borrowed, blue.

-But the people...

1:10:081:10:13

-Millie.

-Yes, Michael?

1:10:281:10:30

-What are you doing?

-Trying to find something old and blue.

1:10:301:10:34

-Look, you can't keep everyone waiting.

-I've got to find it.

1:10:341:10:38

I must have something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

1:10:381:10:44

-You should have thought of it before. Is there anything blue?

-No.

1:10:441:10:49

Help me find it, Michael. Please.

1:10:501:10:53

-All those people.

-They won't mind waiting. Let's look here.

1:10:531:10:57

This is ridiculous. You...

1:10:571:10:59

-It's a music box.

-MUSIC BOX PLAYS A MINUET

1:11:021:11:05

It still plays.

1:11:051:11:07

It's beautiful.

1:11:081:11:10

-What is the music?

-A minuet. This is the music

1:11:111:11:14

our grandparents used to dance to.

1:11:141:11:17

So lovely.

1:11:191:11:21

Psst.

1:11:581:12:00

-Hey, have you two gone nuts?

-Is this a wedding or a murder-mystery?

1:12:081:12:13

It's a funny time to jitterbug.

1:12:131:12:15

It sure is. Come on. Victor's getting agitated.

1:12:151:12:19

-I don't want to marry Sir Victor.

-You do as the board directs.

1:12:191:12:23

Besides, if we don't marry him, how will I pay all the salaries? Come on, Mike.

1:12:231:12:29

-No rush, Millie's not marrying him. I'm calling it off.

-ALL: You are?

1:12:291:12:34

-She can't marry a man she doesn't love.

-Love! This is business.

1:12:341:12:38

-The whole thing was your idea.

-But Millie will marry the songbird.

-And the corporation?

1:12:381:12:44

-I'm dissolving it.

-What?!

1:12:441:12:46

You can't, you're only one stockholder.

1:12:461:12:49

Yeah, you're going to be voted down.

1:12:491:12:52

Take it easy. No violence.

1:12:531:12:55

-That's that. Now for the wedding.

-Let's go.

1:13:041:13:07

How do you like that?!

1:13:081:13:10

THE WEDDING MARCH PLAYS

1:13:101:13:13

We are gathered together here in the presence of these witnesses

1:13:571:14:02

to join this man and this woman in the bonds of matrimony.

1:14:021:14:06

Is there a reason why you should not be legally joined in marriage?

1:14:061:14:10

Or if there be anyone who can show just cause why these parties should not be legally joined together,

1:14:101:14:18

let him speak now or hereafter hold his peace.

1:14:181:14:21

-'I'm speaking! I have plenty to say.'

-EVERYONE GASPS

1:14:211:14:25

'Sir Victor, don't marry Pamela. She's in love with somebody else.'

1:14:251:14:30

Her name is not Pamela Drake.

1:14:321:14:34

'It's Millie Picotte, and she's a scullery maid.'

1:14:341:14:38

'She's just marrying you for your money.'

1:14:381:14:42

'Millie, tell them.'

1:14:421:14:44

Is that true, Pamela?

1:14:441:14:47

The name is Millie.

1:14:471:14:49

And it's very true.

1:14:491:14:51

MURMURING

1:14:511:14:53

That's all, folks. Now, will everyone scram?

1:14:531:14:56

Wedding gifts will be refunded at the front door.

1:14:561:15:00

-'Take care of it, Millie.'

-OK, Michael!

1:15:001:15:03

EXCLAMATIONS FROM GUESTS

1:15:081:15:10

That's all, folks!

1:15:101:15:13

Just dandy!

1:15:131:15:15

PROTESTS AND QUESTIONS

1:15:151:15:17

I want you to know these are mine!

1:15:221:15:25

This is Mrs Morgan's...

1:15:251:15:27

This is mine.

1:15:271:15:29

Oh, all right, then.

1:15:291:15:31

This is Mrs Broughton's present... Oh, well.

1:15:311:15:34

Goodbye! You're invited to our next wedding. Hey!

1:15:341:15:38

What are you going to do, Mr Drake?

1:16:031:16:06

Do? I'm going to do Mr O'Brien.

1:16:061:16:08

I vote for that. Me, too! Come on.

1:16:081:16:11

Are we too late?

1:16:111:16:13

-Is it over?

-Yes, it's all over.

1:16:131:16:15

Oh, hello, Sarah.

1:16:151:16:17

-COCKNEY ACCENT

-Hello, Mill. How are you?

1:16:171:16:20

Much better now. Much better.

1:16:201:16:23

Sir Victor!

1:16:231:16:25

Did you know that this girl is not Pamela Drake?

1:16:251:16:28

We found out just in time. Please forgive...

1:16:281:16:31

-Why, hello, Joe!

-Joe? Joe who?

1:16:311:16:33

Why, he's Joe Brown from Newcastle.

1:16:331:16:36

We used to walk out together when he was at the Royal Crown.

1:16:361:16:40

He's awful entertaining, if you know what I mean.

1:16:401:16:44

We know what you mean.

1:16:441:16:46

Mrs Keating, it can be explained.

1:16:461:16:48

Here he is!

1:16:481:16:51

Where?

1:16:511:16:53

A BARRAGE OF EXCLAMATIONS

1:16:531:16:55

Stop squawking. You haven't lost everything yet.

1:16:551:16:59

Boys, we're indebted to you for that lovely trip down the elevator.

1:16:591:17:03

Marty, does your biography say that the Drakes ran a secret tavern?

1:17:031:17:08

-Yes.

-You were right. And about the harpsichord.

1:17:081:17:12

-< What are you dribbling about?

-The swellest goon trap that ever caught a lush.

1:17:121:17:18

Oh, get a load of this place, Marty!

1:17:201:17:22

Oh, boy! Is this my house?

1:17:221:17:24

Look at that!

1:17:241:17:26

It's wonderful.

1:17:261:17:29

Boy!

1:17:291:17:31

-Are you saying these casks and bottles are all full?!

-Full and fancy.

1:17:311:17:36

-The gag started here about wine, women and song.

-Drakes are first in everything.

1:17:361:17:42

I bet the songs were terrific if played on this harpsichord.

1:17:421:17:46

Build a stairway to the street and you're in business.

1:17:461:17:50

-That banker friend of yours will finance it.

-That's an idea! Votes?

1:17:501:17:55

Yea! Yea!

1:17:551:17:57

Yea! And I move we offer Mike our apologies.

1:17:571:18:01

Right. And a contract as general manager.

1:18:011:18:04

Well, thanks very much.

1:18:041:18:06

I accept the apology.

1:18:061:18:08

But er...

1:18:081:18:10

-I can't take the job, boss.

-THEY PROTEST

1:18:101:18:12

-I'm getting out.

-You're getting out?

1:18:121:18:15

Say goodbye to Millie for me.

1:18:151:18:17

-Make sure that she gets two full shares in this?

-Two?!

1:18:171:18:21

Yeah. Hers and mine.

1:18:211:18:23

Where are you going?

1:18:231:18:25

A friend has offered me a small part in a big show.

1:18:251:18:29

Are you falling for that kid yourself?

1:18:291:18:32

So long, gang.

1:18:321:18:34

What will we do without Mike?

1:18:341:18:36

Hello, Mr O'Brien. Hiya, Mike.

1:23:401:23:42

-A fine guy!

-What?

-Millie hasn't got any dough so you marry another bankroll.

1:23:421:23:47

Don't be silly. I never intended to marry Millie.

1:23:471:23:51

-That's why I'm here.

-Me?

-Yeah.
