0:04:13 > 0:04:14Louise, dear, if you don't count...
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- Madam, do you realise you are absolutely...- I do, Uncle Jocko,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- but I want to save your very valuable time for you. - In that case...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22When I saw your sensitive face at the Odd Fellows Hall...
0:04:22 > 0:04:24My first husband was an Odd Fellow.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- I am not an Odd Fellow! - I meant a Knight of Pythias. My second husband was...
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I was not a Knight of Pythias! - Then where did you catch our act?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31At the Elks.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33My father is an Elk!
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Will you hold Chowsie for me? That's short for Chow Mein.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Mummy just loves Chow Mein, doesn't she, chowsie-wowsie?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Stop sucking your thumb, Louise.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Professor, I just marvel how you can turn a performer into an artist.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Now if you would help my little girls by giving them
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- a good loud la-da-da-de-da-da-da... - What is going on here?
0:04:52 > 0:04:53God helps him who helps himself.
0:04:53 > 0:04:59Mr Zipser, when my girls do their specialty, could you ad lick it? Thank you. Show him, girls.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- SHE SQUEALS - Is this really happening?!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Don't hang on the baby's dress, you'll rumple it up.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Now, do you know of a really good agent who could book a professional act like ours?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16A professional act! Hey, Georgie! Get a load of this...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Don't laugh!
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Don't you dare laugh!
0:05:19 > 0:05:20That child is going to be a star.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22That's what they all say. All right...
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- But we're not finished! - They are as far as I'm concerned.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Because you're trying to play favourites!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- What?- How dare you let that rotten, untalented fat balloon block up my babies?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I won't leave this stage till she does!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- That child... - Have you no loyalty to the Elks?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- I'm not an Elk! - Well, the editor of the Gazette is!
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I happen to know because at the last meeting he showed my father
0:05:41 > 0:05:43a letter he got complaining some contest was fixed!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I guess desperate people do desperate things.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24APPLAUSE
0:06:29 > 0:06:33That rotten little Uncle Jocko! He's as cheap as your grandpa.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34Ten bucks for a talent like yours!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Well, we're through with kiddie shows.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38And with your grandpa's lodge hall.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's time we moved on, anyway!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I'm going to get us an agent to book the act on the Orpheum Circuit.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- That's dog food, Momma. - That's what she thinks - I'm hungry.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Then why didn't you eat some of our chow mein after the show?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Because you two did all the work and we have to save every cent.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I had a dream last night -
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I dreamt a whole new act for you!
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Baby June and her Newsboys!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05How are you going to get the boys, Momma?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Louise can be a boy - and I'll find three others.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10How are you going to pay them?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12The experience will be their pay.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I've got just enough saved up for scenery and costumes.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17If I can squeeze a few bucks out of Grandpa,
0:07:17 > 0:07:22we can head for Los Angeles and the Orpheum Circuit.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- Goodnight, Momma.- Goodnight. - Goodnight, Grandpa.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28You ought to be ashamed, fooling your kids with those dreams!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31They're real dreams and I'm going to make 'em come real for my kids!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33What are you, Rose, a crazy woman?!
0:07:33 > 0:07:37God put you down right here because he meant for you to stay right here!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40God's like me, Pop - we both need outside assistance.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43You've squeezed the last penny out of me that you're ever going to get!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46It ain't for me! It's for my girls. It's too late for me.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48It ain't too late for you to get a husband to support you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51After three husbands, I want to enjoy myself.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55And I want my girls to enjoy themselves and travel, like Mama does!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58And you'll leave them just like your mother left you!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Never!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Why aren't you ready for bed, Louise?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05June said you said she can sleep with you tonight.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, you know how high-strung the baby is after a performance.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10I performed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Yeah... It ain't the same. Say goodnight and go to bed.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Goodnight, Grandpa.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Goodnight, Louise. You're a good girl.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20You are a good girl, and I was proud of you tonight.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Momma...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26..how come I have three fathers?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Because you're lucky.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32You were born with a caul.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35That means you got powers to read palms and tell fortunes
0:08:35 > 0:08:37and wonderful things are going to happen for you!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Why do you fill her with such bunk? - It ain't bunk!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Nothin' wonderful is going to happen to her or June or to you.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Maybe not to me, but they're going to have a marvellous time!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'll be damned if I'm going to let them sit away their lives like I did.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53Or like you do, with only that calendar to tell you one day from the next.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Or that plaque - from your rotten railroad company to say, "Congratulations,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59"for 50 years, you've done the same dull thing every dull day."
0:08:59 > 0:09:02That plaque is a great tribute! It's solid gold!
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- How much could you get for it? - Rose, if you...- What good's it doin' sittin' up there?!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It belongs there like you belong home.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Anybody that stays home is dead!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12If I die, it won't be from sittin'!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It'll be from fightin' to get up and get out!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19# Some people can get a thrill
0:09:19 > 0:09:22# Knitting sweaters and sitting still
0:09:22 > 0:09:29# That's OK for some people who don't know they're alive
0:09:29 > 0:09:33# Some people can thrive and bloom
0:09:33 > 0:09:37# Living life in a living room
0:09:37 > 0:09:44# That's perfect for some people of 105
0:09:44 > 0:09:50# But I at least got to try
0:09:50 > 0:09:53# When I think of all the sights that I got to see yet
0:09:53 > 0:09:55# All the places I got to play
0:09:55 > 0:09:57# All the things that I got to be yet
0:09:57 > 0:09:59# Come on, Poppa, what do you say?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02# Some people can be content
0:10:02 > 0:10:06# Playing bingo and paying rent
0:10:06 > 0:10:09# That's peachy for some people
0:10:09 > 0:10:17# For some humdrum people to be
0:10:17 > 0:10:21# But some people ain't me. #
0:10:23 > 0:10:26# I had a dream
0:10:26 > 0:10:30# A wonderful dream, Poppa
0:10:30 > 0:10:32# All about June and the Orpheum Circuit
0:10:32 > 0:10:34# Give me a chance and I know I can work it
0:10:34 > 0:10:38# I had a dream
0:10:38 > 0:10:41# Just as real as can be, Poppa
0:10:42 > 0:10:46# There I was in Mr Orpheum's office
0:10:46 > 0:10:49# And he was saying to me,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50# Rose
0:10:50 > 0:10:52# Get yourself some new orchestrations
0:10:52 > 0:10:54# New routines and red velvet curtains
0:10:54 > 0:10:56# Get a feathered hat for the baby
0:10:56 > 0:10:58# Photographs in front of the theatre
0:10:58 > 0:11:00# Get an agent
0:11:00 > 0:11:03# And in jig time you'll be being booked in the big time
0:11:03 > 0:11:06# Oh, what a dream
0:11:06 > 0:11:10# A wonderful dream, Poppa
0:11:10 > 0:11:16# And all that I need is 88 bucks, Poppa!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20# That's what he said, Poppa
0:11:20 > 0:11:22# Only 88 bucks... #
0:11:22 > 0:11:25You ain't gettin' 88 cents from me, Rose!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, then I'll get it someplace else!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31But I'll get it and get my kids out!
0:11:34 > 0:11:40# Goodbye to blueberry pie
0:11:40 > 0:11:44# Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to
0:11:44 > 0:11:45# All the lodges I had to play
0:11:45 > 0:11:48# All the shriners I said hello to
0:11:48 > 0:11:50# Hey, LA I'm coming your way
0:11:50 > 0:11:53# Some people sit on their butts
0:11:53 > 0:11:57# Got the dream, yeah, but not the guts
0:11:57 > 0:12:00# That's living for some people
0:12:00 > 0:12:08# For some humdrum people, I suppose
0:12:08 > 0:12:11# Well, they can stay and rot
0:12:17 > 0:12:22# But not Rose. #
0:12:22 > 0:12:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:12:55 > 0:12:56SHE WHISTLES
0:13:04 > 0:13:09# Goodbye to blueberry pie
0:13:20 > 0:13:22# I had a dream
0:13:23 > 0:13:26# A wonderful dream
0:13:26 > 0:13:29KIDS: # Hail, hail the gang's all here
0:13:29 > 0:13:32# Hail
0:13:33 > 0:13:36# Some people sit on their butts
0:13:36 > 0:13:38# Got the dream, yeah but not the guts
0:13:40 > 0:13:45# That's living for some people I suppose
0:13:56 > 0:14:02# But not Rose. #
0:14:05 > 0:14:08APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:14:10 > 0:14:14No, no, no, Madam Rose, no!
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Listen, Mr Weber, you don't know how to run your theatre.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Your business is slipping. You need youth, fresh young talent.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Madam Rose, I told you this morning, I told you this afternoon
0:14:22 > 0:14:23and I am telling you now -
0:14:23 > 0:14:27if there is anything I hate worse than kids, it's kids on stage!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Sh!
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Children, go play in the alley. Mr Weber, that was a rotten remark.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And if you were a gentleman, you'd apologise and book my act.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35I am not a gentleman.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Yes, you are. Deep down...
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Herbie!
0:14:38 > 0:14:41I was looking for you to get your opinion on the show.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- I doubled your candy order, Ed. - That bad, huh?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Except for a couple of acts. I left a memo on your desk.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Mr Weber, you left me right in the middle of a sentence.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Madam Rose, you are always in the middle of a sentence.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55If your show is as rotten as this intelligent says, you can
0:14:55 > 0:14:57certainly try my act for a couple of nights, couldn't you?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Yeah, he could. You could, Ed.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- What?- Your theatre gets a family audience, they love kids. - And my kids are great.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- They sure are.- How do you know?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- I've seen 'em.- Where?- In Seattle.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08They give your show a lift, Ed.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Well...- Listen to the man. - Stop pushing!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Let me think it over.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Gee...
0:15:15 > 0:15:19It's hard for me to say thanks.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You just did.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23So, why'd he listen to you?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Everybody in showbusiness listens to anybody.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Besides, I used to book acts into this theatre.- Are you an agent?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I was - I'm in the candy business now.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I sell to vaudeville houses all over the West.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36How could you ever leave showbusiness?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38When the acts I handled had too little talent,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- I got sick to my stomach - ulcers. - You're too sympathetic.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Also, I went bust - I was always giving them my commission,
0:15:44 > 0:15:45telling them they got a raise.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48The Good Lord says charity begins at home.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, I don't have a home.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You're not married?
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I have five sisters
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and the ugly one didn't get married till a year ago.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Why do you help me just now?
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- I love kids.- Oh.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Also, I saw you before.- Where? - Waiting outside Weber's office.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10You looked like a pioneer woman without a frontier.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I don't suppose you'd consider being an agent again?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Would you consider marrying again?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18How do you know I'm not married now?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I asked your kids about you.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Oh...
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Well, after three husbands,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32it takes an awful lot of butter to get you back in the frying pan.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40you kind of breathe better in the real world.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Cos I like you, but I don't want marriage.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You like me, but you don't want showbusiness.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52That seems to leave you there and me here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53That all depends on how you look at it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56You look at what we don't have.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I look at what we do have.

0:28:07 > 0:28:13But since it's more fun to clip from the five and dime...
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It's a catcher's mitt.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18And...a big league baseball.

0:28:35 > 0:28:37I...should have wrapped them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Oh, you don't have to wrap books.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52- Herbie wasn't in his room, Madam Rose.- He wasn't?- No.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Where could he be?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Momma, can I see my present from you, please?- Well, it's from Herbie and me.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's not from Herbie, he's an agent. It's from you.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I picked it out, but Herbie paid for it
0:29:02 > 0:29:04with his commission for a whole month!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Herbie only makes the same salary we do, poor guy.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Inside, you, and get the coffee.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Oh, here I am, I'm busting to tell Herbie the dream I had.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Momma, I'll... - It's really in your honour,
0:29:13 > 0:29:15coming on the very eve of your birthday.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Oh, baby, you're going to love it!
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Children, you're all going to love it. It's a new act!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- That ain't a dream, it's a miracle! - Ha-ha-ha!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24No egg roll. In this dream I saw
0:29:24 > 0:29:28June singing a song in, like, a barnyard.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32- And then a cow came on stage.- A cow? - Oh, sex at last(!)
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- LAUGHTER - No, not real cows, a dancing cow with a great big smile.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40And then that cow, that cow leaned right over my bed and spoke to me.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42What did the cow say?
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Baaaa!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Happy birthday, sweetheart!
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- A little lamb! - Oh, Rose, you won't believe.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Goodnight, Uncle Herbie. - Goodnight, June.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Goodnight, Louise.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Goodnight, Herbie.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01I'll cold-cream their faces and be right back.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Rose, the hotel is only two doors away.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Honestly, sometimes you behave as though those... Rose!
0:36:09 > 0:36:12We need new silverware.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Herbie, how long is it going to take you to get used to me?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17How long did it take me to get used to those coats?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20What's the matter with them? They're very stylish!
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Louise is very handy with a needle.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28Herbie, as the good Lord says - an eye for an eye - a tooth for a tooth.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32And it serves them right for overcharging.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35HE CLEARS THROAT
0:36:35 > 0:36:37LAUGHTER
0:36:39 > 0:36:44They can skip the cold cream for one night.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47All this time we've been together, you still stand up for me.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Instead of standing up TO you. - I wanted to have dinner tonight, just the two of us.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54What was I going to do with the girls? They're babies.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Rose, no matter how you dress 'em, no matter how you smother 'em, they're big girls.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- They're almost young women. - They're not and they never will be!
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- I'm embarrassed in front of them! - When are you going to marry me, Rose?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Don't forget to take our scrapbooks to Grantziger's tomorrow.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09When are you going to quit stalling? Honey, don't you know there's a depression?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Of course I know! I read Variety.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Don't you know what it's doing to vaudeville?
0:37:13 > 0:37:16Don't you know what the talkies are doing to vaudeville?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Don't you know I love you?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Do you think I'd be unfaithful to my husbands if you didn't?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26But I have to think of my girls and their happiness.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Louise is very happy being the rear end of a cow.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29She loves animals.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31She and June should be in school.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36And be like other girls - cook and clean and sit and die?!
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Oh, honey, could I have a spoon to stir my tea?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I promised June she'd be a star and she will be.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47I promised I'd get her on the Pantages Circuit and I did.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I promised I'd get her on the Orpheum Circuit and I did.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52I did! And you promised me that after I did, you'd marry me.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- I promised her she'd headline on Broadway.- Didn't you hear what I said?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yes, but I'm ignoring it.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Oh, thanks, honey!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03LAUGHTER
0:38:03 > 0:38:05It isn't very polite for a gentleman to remind a lady
0:38:05 > 0:38:08that she welched. There was no date on that promise.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Rose, stop handing me that...bull.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Your stomach!
0:38:15 > 0:38:22Oh, Herbie. Why don't you get angry outside, instead of letting it settle in your stomach?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- I'm afraid.- Of me?- Of me. - What do you mean?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28If I ever let loose, it'll end with me picking up and walking.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Only around the block.- No.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Don't say that.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38# You'll never get away from me
0:38:38 > 0:38:41# You can climb the tallest tree
0:38:41 > 0:38:44# I'll be there somehow
0:38:44 > 0:38:49# True, you could say "Hey, here's your hat"
0:38:49 > 0:38:52# But a little thing like that
0:38:52 > 0:38:55# Couldn't stop me now
0:38:56 > 0:39:01# I couldn't get away from you
0:39:01 > 0:39:04# Even if you told me to
0:39:04 > 0:39:07# So go on and try
0:39:07 > 0:39:10# Just try
0:39:10 > 0:39:13# And you're going to see
0:39:13 > 0:39:19# How you're going to not at all get away from me. #
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Rose, what do you want? There are better agents.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24- Not for me.- Even weaker men.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Not for me.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Then what?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30You. Herbie, just help me like you been helping.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Just let me get June's name up in lights so big, it'll last my whole life.
0:39:34 > 0:39:35Rose, what you expect...
0:39:35 > 0:39:39I'll get! And after I get it, I promise I'll marry you.
0:39:39 > 0:39:45I even promise to keep my promise. Herbie, please.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48I don't want to upset anything before the audition tomorrow.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Including your stomach.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55# Rose, I love you
0:39:55 > 0:39:57# But don't count your chickens
0:39:57 > 0:39:59# Come dance with me

0:40:02 > 0:40:05# Relax a while, come dance with me
0:40:05 > 0:40:08# So don't think that I'm easy pickings
0:40:08 > 0:40:10# The music's so nice
0:40:10 > 0:40:14# Rose, cos I just may some day pick up and pack out
0:40:14 > 0:40:16# Oh, no, you won't no, not a chance
0:40:16 > 0:40:20# No arguments, shut up and dance
0:40:22 > 0:40:27# I'll never get away from you
0:40:27 > 0:40:30# I could yell until I'm blue
0:40:30 > 0:40:33# I give in somehow
0:40:33 > 0:40:38# True, you could say "Hey, here's your hat"
0:40:38 > 0:40:44# But a little thing like that wouldn't stop me now
0:40:45 > 0:40:50# I couldn't get away from you
0:40:50 > 0:40:53# Even if you told me to
0:40:53 > 0:40:57# So go on and try

0:51:54 > 0:51:57Mr Grantziger could make me a star!
0:51:57 > 0:52:00You ARE a star! And I made you one!

0:52:21 > 0:52:23and who know what a mother means to her daughter!
0:52:23 > 0:52:25It's hicks like you who don't know!
0:52:25 > 0:52:27And you want to know something else? Grantziger's a hick!
0:52:27 > 0:52:29- He'll get no place!- Rose.
0:52:29 > 0:52:32He's trying to take my baby away from me.
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Well, over my dead body, he will!
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Come back here! You cannot go down there! Come back right now!

0:52:48 > 0:52:51- Yes, she will. - Maybe Mr Grantziger will make...
0:52:51 > 0:52:54No, he won't.
0:52:54 > 0:52:58Well, that's show business.
0:52:58 > 0:53:03Aren't you happy someone like Mr TT Grantziger thinks you can be a star?
0:53:03 > 0:53:04- You're funny.- Why?
0:53:04 > 0:53:06You're never jealous.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Oh. Well, I don't have any talent.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11I don't mind really - except Momma would like it better if I did.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15I guess that's what she likes about me. Momma's no fool.
0:53:15 > 0:53:17- I'm not a star.- You are.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20I'm not! Mr Grantziger could make me one.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Momma can make you a star, too.
0:53:22 > 0:53:23Momma can do one thing -
0:53:23 > 0:53:26she can make herself believe anything she makes up.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30Like with that rhinestone finale dress you sewed for me.
0:53:30 > 0:53:31Momma wants publicity,
0:53:31 > 0:53:36so she makes up this story that three nuns went blind sewing it.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40Now she believes it. She even believes the act is good.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43Isn't it?
0:53:43 > 0:53:46It's a terrible act and I hate it!
0:53:46 > 0:53:51I've hated it from the beginning and I hate it more now.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54I hate pretending I'm two years old.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58I hate singing those same awful songs,
0:53:58 > 0:53:59doing the same awful dances,
0:53:59 > 0:54:02wearing the same awful costumes.
0:54:04 > 0:54:05I didn't mean it about the costumes.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08You just meant that you're too big for them now.
0:54:10 > 0:54:13Do you ever feel like you don't have a sister?
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- Sometimes.- It's Momma's fault.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17You can't blame everything on Momma.
0:54:17 > 0:54:22You can't maybe. I wish she'd marry Herbie and let me alone.
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Herbie doesn't want to marry her.
0:54:24 > 0:54:25All he cares about is the act.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26Oh, honest. Louise.
0:54:26 > 0:54:27Well, he's an agent!
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Your mother isn't feeling well.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33I'll take her back to the hotel.
0:54:36 > 0:54:40Don't worry, June. I'll get you a good booking.
0:54:40 > 0:54:43I wish Momma would marry a plain man
0:54:43 > 0:54:45so we could all be together.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48If Momma was married...
0:54:48 > 0:54:52# If Momma was married we'd live in a house
0:54:52 > 0:54:56# As private as private can be
0:54:56 > 0:54:59# Just Momma, three ducks five canaries, a mouse
0:54:59 > 0:55:04# Two monkeys, one father six turtles and me... #
0:55:04 > 0:55:06LAUGHTER
0:55:06 > 0:55:11# If Momma was married
0:55:11 > 0:55:15# If Momma was married I'd jump in the air
0:55:15 > 0:55:19# And give all my toeshoes to you
0:55:19 > 0:55:23# I'd get all these hair-ribbons out of my hair
0:55:23 > 0:55:29# And once and for all I'd get Momma out, too
0:55:29 > 0:55:34# If Momma was married
0:55:34 > 0:55:40# Momma, get out your white dress you've done it before
0:55:40 > 0:55:42# Without much success
0:55:42 > 0:55:46# Momma, God speed and God bless
0:55:46 > 0:55:51# We're not keeping score what's one, more or less
0:55:53 > 0:55:55# Oh, Momma, say yes
0:55:55 > 0:56:00# And waltz down the aisle while you may
0:56:00 > 0:56:02# I'll gladly support you
0:56:02 > 0:56:04# I'll even escort you
0:56:04 > 0:56:08# And I'll gladly give you away
0:56:08 > 0:56:11# Oh, Momma
0:56:11 > 0:56:17# Get married today
0:56:17 > 0:56:21# If Momma was married there wouldn't be any more
0:56:21 > 0:56:25# Let me entertain you
0:56:25 > 0:56:29# Let me make you smile
0:56:29 > 0:56:32# I will do some kicks... #
0:56:32 > 0:56:34BOTH: Oh!
0:56:34 > 0:56:36# I will do some tricks
0:56:36 > 0:56:38# Sing out, Louise!
0:56:39 > 0:56:43# Smile, baby!
0:56:43 > 0:56:47# Momma, please take our advice
0:56:47 > 0:56:49# We aren't the Lunts
0:56:49 > 0:56:51# I'm not Fanny Brice
0:56:51 > 0:56:55# Momma, we'll buy you the rice
0:56:55 > 0:56:57# If only this once
0:56:57 > 0:57:01# You wouldn't think twice
0:57:02 > 0:57:04# It could be so nice
0:57:04 > 0:57:08# If Momma got married to stay
0:57:10 > 0:57:13# But Momma gets married
0:57:13 > 0:57:14# And
0:57:14 > 0:57:15# Married
0:57:15 > 0:57:16# And
0:57:16 > 0:57:18# Married
0:57:18 > 0:57:22# And never gets carried away
0:57:22 > 0:57:26# Oh, Momma
0:57:26 > 0:57:30# Oh, Momma
0:57:30 > 0:57:35# Oh, Momma
0:57:35 > 0:57:40# Get married today. #
0:57:40 > 0:57:44APPLAUSE
0:58:02 > 0:58:05That's pretty fancy footwork, Tulsa. Why don't you show it to Madam Rose?
0:58:05 > 0:58:08I'm not that good, Herbie. It's just fooling around.
0:58:08 > 0:58:11Tulsa, you started fooling around about three months ago,
0:58:11 > 0:58:13right after Mr Grantziger cancelled our booking.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16- Why, Tulsa?- Well, I...
0:58:16 > 0:58:19He's just had more time. Like that two-week layoff in Albany.
0:58:19 > 0:58:22- And the layoff in Rochester. - And the layoff in Niagara Falls.
0:58:22 > 0:58:25- It's OK, Herbie.- I thought maybe you were worried about the act. - Oh, no, Herbie.
0:58:25 > 0:58:29Because the way things are picking up - why, I wouldn't be surprised if you kids got paid!
0:58:29 > 0:58:33Matter of fact, they're good enough right now for me to treat you to an ice cream soda.
0:58:33 > 0:58:35No, thank you.
0:58:35 > 0:58:37Chow mein?
0:58:37 > 0:58:40Momma doesn't like us to eat just before a show.
0:58:40 > 0:58:45Louise, there's something your momma knows I wish you did - I like her.
0:58:50 > 0:58:51Herbie.
0:58:54 > 0:58:55Nothing.
0:58:57 > 0:59:01Tulsa, if you or the boys have any problems, you bring 'em to me. Will you?
0:59:01 > 0:59:02Sure, Herbie.
0:59:06 > 0:59:08You didn't tell him anything, did you?
0:59:08 > 0:59:10I mean, that you're rehearsing a dance team act?
0:59:10 > 0:59:12How'd you know I was working on an act?
0:59:12 > 0:59:15I saw you practising Monday after the matinee, with your broom for a partner.
0:59:15 > 0:59:18- I was up in the flies. - Louise, please.
0:59:18 > 0:59:20Oh, I won't tell anybody, Tulsa! I'm very secretive.
0:59:20 > 0:59:21Just like you.
0:59:21 > 0:59:25That's what this means here in your palm.
0:59:25 > 0:59:29And this? It means you make up dreams - like me.
0:59:29 > 0:59:31What do you make up dreams about?
0:59:31 > 0:59:33- People.- Oh, I do that too.
0:59:33 > 0:59:36Yes, but yours are about a partner for your act.
0:59:36 > 0:59:39She's going to be more than a partner, I hope.
0:59:39 > 0:59:43I mean, I dream that one day...
0:59:45 > 0:59:47..well, you know...
0:59:47 > 0:59:51What would she have to be like, Tulsa?
0:59:51 > 0:59:53A wonderful singer and dancer, I guess.
0:59:53 > 0:59:56Oh, no. I'm going to do most of that.
0:59:56 > 0:59:57I don't mean I'm going to hog it all
0:59:57 > 0:59:59but they always look at the girl in a dance team.
0:59:59 > 1:00:01Especially if she's pretty.
1:00:01 > 1:00:03Make-up can help. And costumes.
1:00:03 > 1:00:06I've got the costumes all figured out.
1:00:06 > 1:00:08A blue satin tux for me.
1:00:08 > 1:00:12- With rhinestone lapels.- You think? - I'll sew them on.
1:00:12 > 1:00:13Secret?
1:00:15 > 1:00:16Secret.
1:00:16 > 1:00:21OK. I pretend I'm at home getting dressed for a date.
1:00:21 > 1:00:25I take a comb. Comb my hair.
1:00:25 > 1:00:27I take a flower, smell it
1:00:27 > 1:00:30and put it in my lapel.
1:00:30 > 1:00:32Then I spot the audience.
1:00:32 > 1:00:35# Once my clothes were shabby
1:00:35 > 1:00:38# Tailors called me Cabbie
1:00:38 > 1:00:42# So I took a vow said this bum'll be Beau Brummel
1:00:42 > 1:00:48# Now I'm smooth and snappy now my tailor's happy
1:00:48 > 1:00:51# I'm the cat's meow
1:00:51 > 1:00:53# My wardrobe is a wow
1:00:53 > 1:00:59# Paris silk, Harris tweed
1:00:59 > 1:01:04# There's only one thing I need
1:01:04 > 1:01:09# Got my tweed pressed got my best vest
1:01:09 > 1:01:15# All I need now is the girl
1:01:15 > 1:01:20# Got my striped tie got my hopes high
1:01:20 > 1:01:24# Got the time and the place and I got rhythm
1:01:24 > 1:01:27# Now all I need is the girl to go with 'em
1:01:27 > 1:01:31# If she'll just appear
1:01:31 > 1:01:37# We'll take this big town for a whirl
1:01:37 > 1:01:42# And if she'll say "My darling, I'm yours"
1:01:42 > 1:01:48# I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed
1:01:48 > 1:01:53# All I really need is the girl. #
1:01:56 > 1:01:58I start off easy.
1:02:08 > 1:02:11Now I'm more...debonair.
1:02:19 > 1:02:21Break!
1:02:21 > 1:02:24SHE LAUGHS
1:02:26 > 1:02:29And I sell it here. I start this step, see?
1:02:29 > 1:02:30Uh-uh.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32Build it, double it.
1:02:39 > 1:02:41And she appears,
1:02:41 > 1:02:44dressed all in white.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47I take her hand, kiss it...
1:02:49 > 1:02:50..and lead her onto the floor.
1:03:11 > 1:03:14Steps are good for the costume.
1:03:14 > 1:03:15Astaire bit.
1:03:19 > 1:03:24# Yah, dah, dah, dah yah, dah, yah, dah, dah, yah
1:03:26 > 1:03:30# Now we waltz, strings come in... #
1:03:40 > 1:03:41And I lift her...
1:03:43 > 1:03:44..again.
1:03:47 > 1:03:48Once more.
1:03:59 > 1:04:01And the tempo changes...
1:04:05 > 1:04:08..and the lights come up and I build for the finale!
1:04:09 > 1:04:11Louise, come over here!
1:04:11 > 1:04:15That's it! Follow me! SHE SQUEALS
1:04:15 > 1:04:17That's my girl!
1:04:17 > 1:04:18Charleston.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Hah-hah! Again! Hah-hah, do it again!
1:04:25 > 1:04:26SHE SQUEALS
1:04:30 > 1:04:35APPLAUSE
1:04:54 > 1:04:58Don't lower yourself to argue, Herbie. If those rats want to quit, let them quit.
1:04:58 > 1:05:01If they want their train tickets back, give them their bus tickets back.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04- What's keeping those girls? - There's plenty of time.
1:05:04 > 1:05:06And you say they're old enough to take care of themselves.
1:05:06 > 1:05:11- Look, fellas, I know we've had a couple of layoffs in the...- It ain't that, Herbie.- Then what is it?
1:05:11 > 1:05:12We're too old.
1:05:12 > 1:05:16Would you be too old if Madam Rose and I could see our way clear to increasing your salary?
1:05:16 > 1:05:19- Increase what salary? - Herbie's been paying us.
1:05:19 > 1:05:20- Moron!- Herbie.
1:05:20 > 1:05:24- How long is it going to take you to get used to me, Rose? - Button your coat.
1:05:24 > 1:05:25Ingrates!
1:05:25 > 1:05:28You take the bread out of that man's mouth and spit it in his face!
1:05:28 > 1:05:32Well, as the good Lord says - Good riddance to bad rubbish.
1:05:32 > 1:05:36Give 'em their tickets, Herbie. They were rotten in the act anyway.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38OK.
1:05:38 > 1:05:43Thanks, Herbie. Only we'd like tickets for all the fellows.
1:05:43 > 1:05:44All the fellows?
1:05:44 > 1:05:46Well, they asked us.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49You're all leaving?
1:05:49 > 1:05:52Yes, sir, Herbie.
1:05:54 > 1:05:55Something's funny.
1:05:57 > 1:06:00Something's very funny here.
1:06:00 > 1:06:02Why, Kansas?
1:06:02 > 1:06:05What's this all about?
1:06:05 > 1:06:07OK. If you're all going, you're all going. Just...
1:06:07 > 1:06:10Where've you been? Where's June?
1:06:10 > 1:06:12Louise, where's June?
1:06:12 > 1:06:14Don't give me any of your poems to read. Just answer me!
1:06:14 > 1:06:16June wrote this to you.
1:06:16 > 1:06:18What for? What's she writing me for?
1:06:18 > 1:06:19Momma, read it.
1:06:32 > 1:06:33She eloped.
1:06:33 > 1:06:36She didn't elope, stupid. They got married three weeks ago.
1:06:36 > 1:06:38- Who got married?- June and Tulsa.
1:06:38 > 1:06:42Only they had to wait till their act was ready before they took off.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45It's a keen act. Ain't it, Louise?
1:06:45 > 1:06:48I've never seen it.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51- We ain't rats, Herbie. We just knew that without June... - Where'd they go?
1:06:51 > 1:06:53Well, first they got a club date in Kansas City.
1:06:53 > 1:06:57Big mouth! Could we have the tickets now, please, Herbie?
1:06:57 > 1:07:00We gotta get moving. See, we fixed up an act of our own and...
1:07:00 > 1:07:01Here, get moving!
1:07:05 > 1:07:08Don't be sore, Herbie.
1:07:08 > 1:07:12Geez, it ain't our fault the act's all washed up.
1:07:16 > 1:07:17Hey, fellas.
1:07:20 > 1:07:21Good luck.
1:07:21 > 1:07:24Thanks. Herbie, good luck to you.
1:07:24 > 1:07:25Good luck, Louise.
1:07:25 > 1:07:27Good luck.
1:07:27 > 1:07:28Good luck, Madam Rose.
1:07:31 > 1:07:33Come on, LA.
1:07:33 > 1:07:35Rose, honey. Even if we...
1:07:37 > 1:07:38Honey, listen.
1:07:38 > 1:07:42I can go back in the candy business. It's steady - 52 weeks, all year, every year.
1:07:42 > 1:07:44I'll work my fingers to the bone -
1:07:44 > 1:07:47I'll do twice what I did before and that was pretty fair.
1:07:47 > 1:07:50See, I could be district manager and we could stay put in one place.
1:07:50 > 1:07:52Louise could go to school.
1:07:55 > 1:07:56Rose?
1:08:00 > 1:08:02Rose, honey, you still got Herbie.
1:08:02 > 1:08:04You could marry me and I promise you,
1:08:04 > 1:08:06you won't have one single worry for the rest of your life.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08Don't you want that?
1:08:08 > 1:08:12Oh, yes! Oh, Momma, say yes!
1:08:12 > 1:08:13Herbie.
1:08:17 > 1:08:18It's OK.
1:08:20 > 1:08:21You read palms, I read minds.
1:08:21 > 1:08:26Honey, honey, it's going to be fine. Everything happens for the best.
1:08:26 > 1:08:28OK, the act is finished.
1:08:28 > 1:08:30But you and me and our daughter,
1:08:30 > 1:08:35we're going to have a home - say, we even got a cow for the back yard!
1:08:35 > 1:08:36SHE LAUGHS
1:08:36 > 1:08:39Why, we are going to be the best damn family...
1:08:39 > 1:08:41I'm used to people walking out.
1:08:43 > 1:08:47When my own mother did it, I cried for a week.
1:08:47 > 1:08:52Then your father did it, and then the man I married after him did it,
1:08:52 > 1:08:53and now...
1:08:56 > 1:09:00Well, this time, I'm not crying.
1:09:01 > 1:09:05This time, I'm apologising.
1:09:07 > 1:09:08To you.
1:09:09 > 1:09:12I pushed you aside for her.
1:09:13 > 1:09:16I made everything just for her.
1:09:16 > 1:09:17No, Momma.
1:09:17 > 1:09:23And now she says I can't make her the actress that she wants to be.
1:09:23 > 1:09:26The boys walked because they think the act is finished.
1:09:26 > 1:09:29They think we are nothing without her.
1:09:29 > 1:09:33She is nothing without me!
1:09:33 > 1:09:37I'm her mother and I made her!
1:09:37 > 1:09:40And I can make you now!
1:09:40 > 1:09:43And I will, my baby. I swear I will.
1:09:43 > 1:09:45I'm going to make you a star!
1:09:45 > 1:09:48I'm going to build a whole new act - all around you.
1:09:48 > 1:09:50It's going to be better than anything we ever did before.
1:09:50 > 1:09:53- Better than anything we even dreamed.- Rose. Listen.
1:09:53 > 1:09:55You're right, Herbie! It is for the best!
1:09:55 > 1:09:58Cos that old act was getting stale and tired. But the new one?
1:09:58 > 1:10:02Look, look at the new star, Herbie! She's going to be beautiful!
1:10:02 > 1:10:04She is beautiful!
1:10:04 > 1:10:06Finished?
1:10:06 > 1:10:09We're just beginning -
1:10:09 > 1:10:12and there's no stopping us this time.
1:10:14 > 1:10:17# I had a dream
1:10:17 > 1:10:22# A dream about you, baby

1:15:36 > 1:15:39- Goodnight, Madam Rose!- Night-night, Louise.- Goodnight, Momma.
1:15:39 > 1:15:42Now, don't forget to write your mothers -
1:15:42 > 1:15:44for money...
1:15:44 > 1:15:46How'd you make out in town?
1:15:46 > 1:15:47Not even a lodge hall.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50They're too damn un-American down here, that's the trouble.
1:15:50 > 1:15:53We'd better talk about heading up north.
1:15:53 > 1:15:55After I tell them that bedtime story.
1:15:55 > 1:15:57Once upon a time there was a prince named Ziegfeld?
1:15:57 > 1:15:59It could happen.
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Anyway, everybody needs something impossible to hope for.
1:16:02 > 1:16:05Rose, why do you make Louise wear that wig in the act?
1:16:05 > 1:16:07Makes her look more like...
1:16:07 > 1:16:09a star.
1:16:09 > 1:16:11And why do we keep the cow?!
1:16:11 > 1:16:15Herbie! If that cow goes, I go.
1:16:15 > 1:16:16LAUGHTER
1:16:16 > 1:16:17The act can be fixed.
1:16:17 > 1:16:19If I was doing this for...
1:16:19 > 1:16:21June, it'd be all set.
1:16:21 > 1:16:24But you're not. And I'm NOT June.
1:16:24 > 1:16:26Louise, nobody expects you to be.
1:16:26 > 1:16:28Momma, I've tried as hard as I could.
1:16:28 > 1:16:30The act's rotten, and I'm rotten in it.
1:16:30 > 1:16:32How do you like that? Typical of a kid.
1:16:32 > 1:16:34- No, I've been waiting to... - Always impatient.
1:16:34 > 1:16:36A few break-in dates don't go so hot...
1:16:36 > 1:16:40Momma, I am not June, I am not blonde. I can't do what she did.
1:16:40 > 1:16:41She isn't asking you to.
1:16:41 > 1:16:44- Maybe you want to stay in show business... - Maybe? That is our whole...
1:16:44 > 1:16:46What have we been working for ever since you were a baby?
1:16:46 > 1:16:48That is a foolish remark from a foolish girl.
1:16:48 > 1:16:51I promised my girl she'd be a star, and she will be!
1:16:51 > 1:16:55Maybe I've been on the wrong track with you and the material,
1:16:55 > 1:16:58but as the good Lord says...
1:16:58 > 1:17:01"You gotta take the rough with the smooth."
1:17:01 > 1:17:03And like I always say, you're lucky,
1:17:03 > 1:17:07- because you don't have to take it alone. Right, Herbie?- Right.
1:17:07 > 1:17:10We got Herbie for brains.
1:17:10 > 1:17:11We got you for talent.
1:17:11 > 1:17:16And you both got me to...yell at.

1:20:31 > 1:20:34Oh, that's a good girl. Now, go to bed, Agnes.
1:20:34 > 1:20:35Now that I'm an actress...
1:20:35 > 1:20:37it's "Amanda".
1:20:38 > 1:20:41Whatever it is - go to bed.
1:20:41 > 1:20:43Could I ask Herbie a question first?
1:20:43 > 1:20:44Sure.
1:20:44 > 1:20:47Herbie... Do you think we'll ever work again?
1:20:47 > 1:20:50- Course we will! - I'll get us a booking, Ag...

1:20:53 > 1:20:55Thank you...Herbert.
1:20:55 > 1:20:58Louise! Your hair.
1:20:58 > 1:20:59It's yours, if you want it.
1:20:59 > 1:21:02Gee - I always wanted to be a blonde.
1:21:02 > 1:21:05Well, get some peroxide and a toothbrush. Wigs are expensive.
1:21:05 > 1:21:07Yes, ma'am.
1:21:07 > 1:21:11Say, we could get a good refund for this - if we'd ever paid for it.
1:21:11 > 1:21:13How about a gallon of peroxide and a carton of toothbrushes?
1:21:13 > 1:21:15- What for?- Make 'em ALL blondes.
1:21:15 > 1:21:17I was JOKING, Herbie.
1:21:17 > 1:21:18Why NOT do it?
1:21:18 > 1:21:20Because they're children, Louise.
1:21:20 > 1:21:23They're young girls - with blonde hair they could be young girls.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25It would sure jazz up the act, make it easier to sell -
1:21:25 > 1:21:28we could call it Madam Rose and her Blonde Babies.
1:21:28 > 1:21:29Baby Blondes!
1:21:29 > 1:21:31Nothing with babies.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35- Hollywood Blondes!- Yeah.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Oh, but all blonde except you, cos you're the star.
1:21:37 > 1:21:40Well, if I'm the star it should be LOUISE and her Hollywood Blondes.

1:22:44 > 1:22:47- Will you kill that flood! MAN:- Will you shut your hole!
1:22:47 > 1:22:49She isn't going to love THAT.
1:22:49 > 1:22:50Or that.
1:22:50 > 1:22:52What kind of an act IS that?
1:22:52 > 1:22:54OK, jailbait.
1:22:54 > 1:22:56Now, you must be the Hollywood Blondes.
1:22:56 > 1:22:59- Yes. I'm...- You're late. - Well, our car broke down.- Skip it!
1:22:59 > 1:23:02Some of you dogs can use this dressing room -
1:23:02 > 1:23:04and the rest of you, the one up there.
1:23:04 > 1:23:08Now, this one, you share with Tessie Tura, Texas Twirler.
1:23:08 > 1:23:12- My mother doesn't like...- The other with Mazeppa, Revolution in Dance.
1:23:12 > 1:23:15Now, shake it up!
1:23:15 > 1:23:16So, er...
1:23:16 > 1:23:19you're the act that's supposed to keep the cops out, huh?
1:23:19 > 1:23:22Boy, you MUST be lousy. LAUGHTER
1:23:22 > 1:23:25He reminds me of my brother!
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Don't start snivelling...Amanda.
1:23:28 > 1:23:31Here, take the cow, and anything else you can carry in there.
1:23:31 > 1:23:33Marjorie May, you take the other girls in the second room

1:23:36 > 1:23:37SHE GASPS
1:23:37 > 1:23:40Oh! Look at this.
1:23:40 > 1:23:44Well, that Tessie Tura must be a VERY fancy lady.

1:23:47 > 1:23:49She must also be a pig!
1:23:49 > 1:23:52- Louise...! - In here, Momma. Let me help you.
1:23:52 > 1:23:55Oh, baby, we're back in a theatre, we're back in a real theatre!
1:23:55 > 1:23:58- Momma, where's Herbie?- He went around front to check our billing.
1:23:58 > 1:23:59Good morning!
1:23:59 > 1:24:01Oh, Jesus!
1:24:01 > 1:24:05It ain't weighted right. God dammit!
1:24:05 > 1:24:09It scratches the hell out of me and it just don't bump when I do.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12Maybe there's somethin' wrong with your BUMPER.
1:24:12 > 1:24:15Oh... Big joke.
1:24:15 > 1:24:18I'm out there bumping my brains out with no action at all
1:24:18 > 1:24:20and she's being witty!
1:24:20 > 1:24:21Hey, you with the neck.
1:24:21 > 1:24:25I paid six bucks for that G-string, now back where you found it!
1:24:25 > 1:24:27- Yes, ma'am.- Get the bags, get the cow, get the props.
1:24:27 > 1:24:31- Now, Momma...- You don't know what kind of theatre this is.
1:24:31 > 1:24:33Yes, I do, it's a... house of burlesque.
1:24:33 > 1:24:36A house of burlesque... Do you know what that is? Filth!
1:24:36 > 1:24:38I tell you, when Herbie shows his face...
1:24:38 > 1:24:41- I'm sure Herbie didn't know. - Oh - not much. Agnes...!
1:24:41 > 1:24:44- He got the booking over the telephone.- Agnes! We were all so happy.- Agnes, dammit!
1:24:44 > 1:24:46Madam Rose, you know my name is Amanda!
1:24:46 > 1:24:49Your name is Agnes. I want you and the girls out of this hellhole
1:24:49 > 1:24:51- in two seconds flat! - But Madam...- March!- Yes, ma'am.
1:24:51 > 1:24:53You take the front end of the cow, I'll take the rear,
1:24:53 > 1:24:54and the bags we can't carry
1:24:54 > 1:24:58your friend Herbie can damn well carry himself.
1:24:58 > 1:24:59Now, listen to me, Louise.
1:24:59 > 1:25:02Just because you think your friend Herbie can do no wrong...
1:25:02 > 1:25:04This has nothing to do with Herbie...
1:25:04 > 1:25:06You don't know what burlesque is.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09- Yes, I do.- No. You don't.
1:25:09 > 1:25:12No daughter of mine is going to work in burlesque
1:25:12 > 1:25:13and no daughter of any woman I know.
1:25:13 > 1:25:16Then where ARE we going to work?
1:25:16 > 1:25:18Momma, how much money do we have?
1:25:18 > 1:25:21Including what's left of their allowances, how much?
1:25:21 > 1:25:24- Something'll turn up. - It HAS turned up, and this is it.
1:25:24 > 1:25:28Momma, we're flat broke, we've got to take this job.
1:25:28 > 1:25:32Even if you wanted to quit and go home, we'd have to take it.
1:25:33 > 1:25:35I had a dream...
1:25:35 > 1:25:38- Oh, Momma... - Oh, you'll like this one.
1:25:38 > 1:25:40LAUGHTER
1:25:40 > 1:25:43I had it over a week ago but I didn't want to tell.
1:25:43 > 1:25:46I was home, in Seattle,
1:25:46 > 1:25:49and the cow came into my room.
1:25:49 > 1:25:52Only this time she wasn't smiling and dancing,
1:25:52 > 1:25:55she was wheezing and sad-like,
1:25:55 > 1:25:57she came right over to my bed
1:25:57 > 1:26:01and looked at me and said, "Rose...
1:26:02 > 1:26:05"..moo-ve over."
1:26:05 > 1:26:06LAUGHTER
1:26:06 > 1:26:08I'm sorry, Momma...
1:26:08 > 1:26:11Why? She didn't tell YOU to move over!
1:26:11 > 1:26:13I mean I'm sorry I'm not good enough in the act.
1:26:13 > 1:26:16It's the ACT that ain't good enough, baby, or something...
1:26:16 > 1:26:18- HERBIE:- Rose!- In here.
1:26:18 > 1:26:20Herbie...!
1:26:20 > 1:26:22Rose... I didn't know, believe me.
1:26:22 > 1:26:24I do, honey. I do.
1:26:26 > 1:26:27Aargh!
1:26:29 > 1:26:31What the hell, it's...
1:26:31 > 1:26:33only two weeks, the money's good
1:26:33 > 1:26:35- and maybe by that time something'll turn up. Right?- Right.
1:26:35 > 1:26:39- You're a nice girl, Rose, thank you. - Oh... That's show business.
1:26:39 > 1:26:42- One good thing - I'll bet we got top billing.- No. We're featured, though.
1:26:42 > 1:26:44- Second?- Actually, they had us lost in the middle, I thought
1:26:44 > 1:26:47last was better. It says "AND Rose-Louise and the Hollywood Blondes."
1:26:47 > 1:26:50I'm making them put a box around it, they'll use lots of pictures.
1:26:50 > 1:26:52Forget the box, Herbie, forget those pictures.
1:26:52 > 1:26:56- Momma...- You don't know what they say in the business, but Herbie does.
1:26:56 > 1:26:59They say, when a vaudeville act plays in burlesque
1:26:59 > 1:27:01that means it's all washed up -
1:27:01 > 1:27:04Herbie, nothing's going to turn up for us. Is it?
1:27:04 > 1:27:06No.
1:27:07 > 1:27:09I guess it's a pretty rotten act.
1:27:09 > 1:27:12It ain't the act, honey, I've been telling you - vaudeville's dead.
1:27:12 > 1:27:13Stone-cold dead!
1:27:13 > 1:27:16- Well, we...sure as hell tried. - Well, we sure as hell did.
1:27:16 > 1:27:19Nobody can say we didn't last right up the very end.
1:27:19 > 1:27:20Well, they sure as hell can't!
1:27:20 > 1:27:22- Right?- Right.- Right.
1:27:22 > 1:27:24Well, I...better get the cues ready.
1:27:24 > 1:27:25Herbie...
1:27:25 > 1:27:27How about marryin' me?
1:27:33 > 1:27:34Sure...
1:27:34 > 1:27:36LAUGHTER
1:27:36 > 1:27:38- I love you, you know.- I know.
1:27:38 > 1:27:39Do it today!
1:27:39 > 1:27:42Not while we're in burlesque!
1:27:42 > 1:27:44The day we close.
1:27:44 > 1:27:45It's a deal.
1:27:45 > 1:27:48Oh, I do, Herbie - I do, I do, I do.
1:27:48 > 1:27:51- So do I, Rose, so do I! - Hey. Rose-Louise.
1:27:51 > 1:27:53Where the hell are your music and light cues?
1:27:53 > 1:27:54Yeah, I'll be right with you.
1:27:54 > 1:27:56Oh... YOU'RE Rose-Louise.
1:27:56 > 1:27:58Yeah. I'm Rose-Louise.
1:27:58 > 1:28:00Well - things are looking up.
1:28:00 > 1:28:03But I got a show to open, Rose-Louise, so move your ass!
1:28:03 > 1:28:05Listen, you little punk.
1:28:05 > 1:28:08For the next two weeks you're going to speak like a Sunday school
1:28:08 > 1:28:11teacher. You have something in this theatre you've never seen before.
1:28:11 > 1:28:13A lady!
1:28:13 > 1:28:16That...is a lady.
1:28:16 > 1:28:18That...is also a lady.
1:28:18 > 1:28:21Every girl in this damned act is a lady, you understand?
1:28:21 > 1:28:23- Y-Yes, sir.- Now, get on stage
1:28:23 > 1:28:25- and I'll give you the cues when I'm ready!- Yes, sir.
1:28:25 > 1:28:28Er... Excuse me. Ma'am.
1:28:30 > 1:28:31Oh, sir?
1:28:31 > 1:28:35Won't you give ME your protection? I'm a lady too!
1:28:36 > 1:28:38Hey, the goddamn thing worked!
1:28:38 > 1:28:40- No, no, no, no...- Aww.
1:28:40 > 1:28:42Well, if you ladies will excuse me...
1:28:42 > 1:28:45- Yeah, we're very busy.- In my dressing room.- YOUR dressing room?
1:28:45 > 1:28:48You're damn right. And I don't like sharing it any more than you do.
1:28:48 > 1:28:51Particularly with a troupe of professional virgins.
1:28:51 > 1:28:55- We are not... - Oh, all right - so you're acrobats.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57We happen to be headliners from the Orpheum Circuit.
1:28:57 > 1:28:59We were booked into this theatre by mistake.
1:28:59 > 1:29:02Weren't we all?!
1:29:02 > 1:29:04Say... Who made that?
1:29:04 > 1:29:06I did. I make all our costumes.
1:29:06 > 1:29:11Oh, my! Look at all them ladylike little stitches.
1:29:11 > 1:29:13That miserable broad who's been makin' my gowns
1:29:13 > 1:29:15must be using a fish hook.
1:29:15 > 1:29:16What do you pay her?
1:29:16 > 1:29:1925 bucks a gown and I provide the material.
1:29:19 > 1:29:21- 30.- She's new in the business.- 30.
1:29:21 > 1:29:22- Who ARE you, her mother?- Yes.
1:29:22 > 1:29:24LAUGHTER
1:29:24 > 1:29:28- 30. And I'll get the material after the matinee.- It's a deal.
1:29:28 > 1:29:29Where's your toreador costume?
1:29:29 > 1:29:31The girls must have it in the dressing room...
1:29:31 > 1:29:33God knows what else they got in there!
1:29:33 > 1:29:36- She's your mother?! - Yes, she's my mother.
1:29:36 > 1:29:38Tessie... I'm short a talking women.
1:29:38 > 1:29:42- Tough titty!- Aw, Tessie, the new comic won't use a chorus girl.
1:29:42 > 1:29:44Then let them use Mazeppa.
1:29:44 > 1:29:46Everyone else has!
1:29:46 > 1:29:49Now, you know Mazeppa's got a gladiator ballet
1:29:49 > 1:29:51just before his spot.
1:29:51 > 1:29:53Cut the ballet. It stinks anyway.
1:29:53 > 1:29:55Aw, be a sport, I'm in a bind.
1:29:55 > 1:29:57You're always in a bind in this flea-bitten trap!
1:29:57 > 1:30:02I'm a strip woman, slob. I don't do no scenes. Now, screw!
1:30:02 > 1:30:05Have you ever heard of a first-class strip woman playing scenes?
1:30:05 > 1:30:09Well, you play stock in a dump like this, you gotta expect to be insulted.
1:30:09 > 1:30:12- Well, it's steady, ain't it?- Yeah, but you bring in a new star
1:30:12 > 1:30:14- for each show, don't ya? - Aw, Tessie, it's just a few lines.
1:30:14 > 1:30:16Fat boy, save your bad breath!
1:30:16 > 1:30:19I'll give you ten bucks extra.
1:30:19 > 1:30:21Nah.
1:30:21 > 1:30:23Excuse me. I can read lines.
1:30:23 > 1:30:26- Who are you?- Rose Louise, of Rose Louise and her Hollywood Blondes.
1:30:26 > 1:30:28- Wait a minute, what kind of lines? - You in her act?
1:30:28 > 1:30:29- Not exactly.- Shut up!
1:30:29 > 1:30:32- How are your legs?- Great! And I'll learn her the scenes.
1:30:32 > 1:30:33OK! Ten bucks.
1:30:33 > 1:30:36- It's money, Momma.- What's she going to be saying out there on that stage?
1:30:36 > 1:30:39Same burlesque crap that's been said since the year one.
1:30:39 > 1:30:42Say, where you been all your life?
1:30:42 > 1:30:43Playing vaudeville!
1:30:43 > 1:30:46Where?! The Vatican?!
1:30:46 > 1:30:47LAUGHTER
1:30:47 > 1:30:49You name a big city, we've played it.
1:30:49 > 1:30:52My grandpa says we've covered the country like gypsies.
1:30:52 > 1:30:55Well, you may be a gypsy, Rose Louise... Hey!
1:30:55 > 1:30:57Now, that ain't a bad name, if you ever take up strippin'!
1:30:57 > 1:31:00- She won't.- No, but you'll let her feed lines to a bum comic
1:31:00 > 1:31:04- for a lousy ten bucks.- That's training. She's going to be an actress - this is only temporary.
1:31:04 > 1:31:08Soon as we finish here, she goes straight back to vaudeville.
1:31:08 > 1:31:12Vaudeville, my eye. There ain't no vaudeville left except burlesque.
1:31:12 > 1:31:13- We know.- You know? You better wise her up.
1:31:13 > 1:31:16She's wise! She's a damn sight wiser than any of you!
1:31:16 > 1:31:21Like mother, like daughter. Say, whose feelings did I hurt?
1:31:21 > 1:31:23Yours or hers?
1:31:23 > 1:31:26Neither. We'll both be fine.
1:31:26 > 1:31:27Gee, I hope so,
1:31:27 > 1:31:30because sharing a dressing room is like sleeping together.
1:31:30 > 1:31:32Miss Tura, I'll thank you
1:31:32 > 1:31:35not to give the boss any notion that I would ever play scenes.
1:31:35 > 1:31:40And one more dis-as-paraging remark about my ballet will find
1:31:40 > 1:31:41this bugle right up your...
1:31:41 > 1:31:44Please! There's a lady present!
1:31:44 > 1:31:47- Where?- Open your eyes instead of your mouth.
1:31:47 > 1:31:51Gypsy, meet Miss Mazeppa - and Miss Electra.
1:31:51 > 1:31:57Say, you're even younger than I was when I began stripping.
1:31:57 > 1:32:00Oh, I'm not going to strip.
1:32:00 > 1:32:02Something wrong with stripping?
1:32:02 > 1:32:06No. I just meant I don't have any talent.
1:32:06 > 1:32:08You think they have?!
1:32:10 > 1:32:12Well, I myself of course was a ballerina.
1:32:12 > 1:32:13But take it from me,
1:32:13 > 1:32:16to be a stripper, all you need to have is no talent.
1:32:16 > 1:32:20You'll pardon me, but to have no talent is not enough.
1:32:20 > 1:32:25What you need to have is an idea that makes your strip special.
1:32:25 > 1:32:30# You can pull all the stops out Till they call the cops out
1:32:30 > 1:32:34# Grind your behind till you're bend
1:32:34 > 1:32:40# But you gotta get a gimmick if you wanna get a hand
1:32:43 > 1:32:48# You can sacrifice your sacro working in the back row
1:32:48 > 1:32:51# Bump in a dump till you're dead
1:32:52 > 1:32:57# Kid, you gotta get a gimmick If you wanna get ahead

1:34:58 > 1:35:03# All the uh and the uh And the....
1:35:03 > 1:35:07# Ain't gonna spell success

1:37:23 > 1:37:25Oh, Herbie, it's like for a funeral!
1:37:25 > 1:37:27It's for the wedding!
1:37:27 > 1:37:29Madame Rose and I want you to be bridesmaid, Amanda.
1:37:29 > 1:37:31No, it's Agnes again.
1:37:31 > 1:37:33You'll be happier as Agnes, Amanda.
1:37:35 > 1:37:37Oh, you're leaving?

1:37:52 > 1:37:54LAUGHTER TURNS TO TEARS
1:37:54 > 1:37:56Aw, come here.
1:37:56 > 1:37:58- TESSIE! - I'm coming, ya creep!
1:38:08 > 1:38:11Why aren't you nervous? I've never been so nervous in my whole life!
1:38:11 > 1:38:14- You've never been married before. - Your mother's never been married
1:38:14 > 1:38:17before like she's going to be this time. For keeps and forever - to me!
1:38:17 > 1:38:20- Ain't you a little bit nervous! - Sure.- Say, does the minister keep
1:38:20 > 1:38:23this? I want to have it framed and hanging on our living room.
1:38:23 > 1:38:25What about this, Momma?
1:38:25 > 1:38:26Take it.
1:38:26 > 1:38:29We can hang her up in the living room, too, Herbie.
1:38:29 > 1:38:30Over the mantelpiece.
1:38:30 > 1:38:33Rose, honey, it ain't that I don't know how you're feeling.
1:38:33 > 1:38:35Or that I don't know I ought to keep my mouth shut.
1:38:35 > 1:38:37I'm so goddam happy, I can't!
1:38:37 > 1:38:40- I don't know why the hell I stay in this business!- I'm finally getting
1:38:40 > 1:38:43everything I wanted! Even a fancy ceremony with bridesmaids.
1:38:43 > 1:38:48- If it ain't one damn headache, it's another.- Ssh! They'll hear you out front!- It's MY theatre!
1:38:48 > 1:38:50Of course, what the minister's going to say
1:38:50 > 1:38:52when he gets a load of all that yellow hair, I don't know.
1:38:52 > 1:38:55But the hell with him!
1:38:55 > 1:38:58Last show, no talking woman. Show before that, no second banana.
1:38:58 > 1:39:01If that crazy broad wasn't here, why did you start the performance?
1:39:01 > 1:39:04She's not on till next to closing,
1:39:04 > 1:39:07and she said she was only goin' next door to the drugstore.
1:39:07 > 1:39:09What'd they arrest her for? Shoplifting?
1:39:09 > 1:39:11- No, soliciting. - LAUGHTER
1:39:11 > 1:39:14She always was greedy. Cut the spot.
1:39:14 > 1:39:17Honey, do you think we should invite the minister for a drink after?
1:39:17 > 1:39:18But it's the star strip.
1:39:18 > 1:39:19Cut it.
1:39:19 > 1:39:21They'll yell bloody murder
1:39:21 > 1:39:24if it's only the same bags they've been seeing the past eight weeks.
1:39:24 > 1:39:26The star's the novelty!
1:39:26 > 1:39:28What do you want me to do? Let YOU strip?
1:39:28 > 1:39:30- My daughter can do it! Rose Louise! - Since when?
1:39:30 > 1:39:33Ever since she's been here to see how little there is to it.
1:39:33 > 1:39:36- She didn't look bad in them scenes. - She'll look great in her own gowns.
1:39:36 > 1:39:40- What's the gimmick?- She's young. Got any better ideas?
1:39:40 > 1:39:44- Well, she better get ready right damn now.- It's the star spot.
1:39:44 > 1:39:45You telling me?
1:39:45 > 1:39:47That means the star salary.
1:39:47 > 1:39:48If we keep her.
1:39:48 > 1:39:52You will. She's going to be wonderful!
1:39:52 > 1:39:54I knew something would turn up!
1:39:54 > 1:39:56Where's that dress you were making for Tessie?
1:39:56 > 1:39:58It'll work perfect for you!
1:39:58 > 1:39:59Come on! Come on!
1:39:59 > 1:40:02Get your make-up on, there ain't much time.
1:40:02 > 1:40:05Oh, silly! You're not really going to strip.
1:40:05 > 1:40:07All you'll do is walk around the stage in time to the music
1:40:07 > 1:40:09and drop your shoulder strap at the end.
1:40:09 > 1:40:11You're a lady, like Herbie says you are!
1:40:11 > 1:40:14You just parade so grand, they'll think it's a big favour
1:40:14 > 1:40:17if you even show them your knee!
1:40:17 > 1:40:20Oh, Louise, it's the star spot!
1:40:20 > 1:40:24I always promised my daughter we'd be a star.
1:40:24 > 1:40:28Baby, it's all right to walk out when they want you,
1:40:28 > 1:40:31but you can't walk out now.
1:40:31 > 1:40:35After all these rotten years, we're still a flop, that's quitting!
1:40:35 > 1:40:39We can't quit, because we are a flop!
1:40:39 > 1:40:42DON'T BE LIKE JUNE!
1:40:43 > 1:40:45You...
1:40:45 > 1:40:46do this!
1:40:48 > 1:40:51So we can walk away proud,
1:40:51 > 1:40:53because we made it!
1:40:53 > 1:40:56Maybe only in burlesque and maybe only as second rate,
1:40:56 > 1:40:59but let's walk away a star!
1:41:02 > 1:41:03OK, come on!
1:41:03 > 1:41:06I guess there ain't enough time to finish the dress,
1:41:06 > 1:41:10but we can just pin it... Oh, look, there's some material here,
1:41:10 > 1:41:12we could use that for extra panels.
1:41:12 > 1:41:14Oh, didn't I tell you, you were born lucky?
1:41:14 > 1:41:18So, you can just unpin them and then drop them every once in a while,
1:41:18 > 1:41:20so they'll think you're taking something off.
1:41:20 > 1:41:22Now, not too much make-up, baby.
1:41:22 > 1:41:24Young and girlish!
1:41:24 > 1:41:29Pure. Don't smear that junk all over your face like they do.
1:41:29 > 1:41:31Keep your mouth the way the Lord made it.
1:41:31 > 1:41:36No rouge, no beauty marks.
1:41:36 > 1:41:39No, you be a lady.
1:41:39 > 1:41:44Grand, elegant, with a classy, ladylike walk.
1:41:44 > 1:41:46Shoes, shoes!
1:41:46 > 1:41:48Oh, my God, shoes! Shoes...
1:41:48 > 1:41:50Yeah, come on, these are Tessie's,
1:41:50 > 1:41:53they'll do for this performance, get into them.
1:41:53 > 1:41:58No, no, your hair is wrong, you can't just let it hang like spaghetti!
1:41:58 > 1:41:59Put it back.
1:41:59 > 1:42:04It's got to have class. Fluff it out in front.
1:42:04 > 1:42:06Oh, thank God the Lord gave you good colour
1:42:06 > 1:42:09and that you washed it this morning! LAUGHTER
1:42:09 > 1:42:11Say, you think we should put a couple of feathers in it?
1:42:11 > 1:42:14For the... To put... No, no, that's what they all do.
1:42:14 > 1:42:15Oh, jewellery!
1:42:15 > 1:42:17Yeah... No, no, no jewellery.
1:42:17 > 1:42:19Let Tessie and the others wear all the vulgar junk...
1:42:19 > 1:42:22Is she almost ready? Cos she goes on in five minutes.
1:42:22 > 1:42:26She'll be there, she'll be there. Come on, come on! Get into the dress.
1:42:26 > 1:42:28Whose are these?
1:42:28 > 1:42:30Huh?
1:42:30 > 1:42:32Oh, no, that's...
1:42:32 > 1:42:34that's my wedding present!
1:42:34 > 1:42:38From Tessie. But they would be good for a lady.
1:42:38 > 1:42:41You can wear them. What else?
1:42:41 > 1:42:43Oh, music, music!
1:42:44 > 1:42:47What have we got here? Spanish? No.
1:42:47 > 1:42:49Military? No.
1:42:49 > 1:42:50Cow?
1:42:53 > 1:42:55No. LAUGHTER
1:42:57 > 1:43:02Oh! Say, you could do June's Let Me Entertain You.
1:43:02 > 1:43:04But then, I could mark it
1:43:04 > 1:43:07for the conductor to repeat two choruses, slow.
1:43:07 > 1:43:10And... No, two and a half choruses, slow.
1:43:10 > 1:43:12And sing out, Louise,
1:43:12 > 1:43:16you just walk and dip.
1:43:16 > 1:43:18My girl's a lady.
1:43:18 > 1:43:22You make 'em beg for more!
1:43:22 > 1:43:26And then, don't give it to them.
1:43:26 > 1:43:27Now, anything...
1:43:27 > 1:43:30- Oh, where have you been?! Out front?- No.
1:43:30 > 1:43:33I got sick to my stomach and threw up.
1:43:33 > 1:43:34Yeah, but you feel better now.
1:43:34 > 1:43:37- No.- Herbie, I just had to!
1:43:37 > 1:43:38That's why I'm leaving.
1:43:38 > 1:43:40I apologise!
1:43:40 > 1:43:42No.
1:43:42 > 1:43:46Let me, for my resemblance to a mouse...
1:43:46 > 1:43:51No, no, to a worm, the way I've crawled after you,
1:43:51 > 1:43:53well, no more, Rose, I won't!
1:43:53 > 1:43:55I was even going to crawl away from you
1:43:55 > 1:43:57because my stomach started to turn over at the idea
1:43:57 > 1:43:59of coming back here and telling you that we're finished!
1:43:59 > 1:44:02- Tell me after we're married. - We're never getting married, Rose.
1:44:02 > 1:44:05- We certainly are, first thing in the morning...- NEVER!
1:44:05 > 1:44:10Not if you got down on your knees and begged!
1:44:11 > 1:44:15Oh, I still love you, but all the vows from here to Doomsday,
1:44:15 > 1:44:18they couldn't make you a wife.
1:44:18 > 1:44:21I want a wife!
1:44:21 > 1:44:23I'm going to be a man if it kills me.
1:44:23 > 1:44:27- Oh, so you're killing me?! - Nobody can kill you!
1:44:27 > 1:44:32So, what, you're jealous, just like every man I've ever known?
1:44:32 > 1:44:35Jealous because my girls always come first.
1:44:35 > 1:44:37Well, they always did and they always will.
1:44:37 > 1:44:40- Then why did June leave? - I don't want to hear her name!
1:44:40 > 1:44:43She didn't want the act, any more than Louise wants this.
1:44:43 > 1:44:46- No, Louise does. - She'll leave like June did.- Never!
1:44:46 > 1:44:49- She is going to be a star! - She is going to be a star?
1:44:49 > 1:44:52If it kills you and her,
1:44:52 > 1:44:55she's going to be a star someplace!
1:44:57 > 1:44:59Where are you going to be when she gets married?
1:45:01 > 1:45:03What are you talking about?
1:45:03 > 1:45:06She won't be getting married for years!
1:45:06 > 1:45:07She's a baby!
1:45:07 > 1:45:11- Sure.- Anyway, her career will always come first.
1:45:11 > 1:45:15That's right. That is right.
1:45:15 > 1:45:16Herbie, why?
1:45:16 > 1:45:20Why does everybody always walk out?
1:45:23 > 1:45:25Maybe...
1:45:25 > 1:45:27Louise won't.
1:45:28 > 1:45:29No, don't!
1:45:34 > 1:45:35Don't!
1:45:38 > 1:45:40Don't leave, Herbie!
1:45:42 > 1:45:44I need you!
1:45:44 > 1:45:46What for?
1:45:49 > 1:45:51A million things.
1:45:55 > 1:45:58Just one would be better.
1:46:00 > 1:46:01Goodbye, honey, you...
1:46:03 > 1:46:05You be a good girl.
1:46:06 > 1:46:09You...
1:46:09 > 1:46:10YOU GO TO HELL!
1:46:12 > 1:46:13Oh, come on!
1:46:13 > 1:46:15Give that music to the conductor,
1:46:15 > 1:46:18and you'd better stand next to me for the lighting cues.
1:46:18 > 1:46:20I sure hope you know what you're doing.
1:46:24 > 1:46:26I'll take this...
1:46:26 > 1:46:27to the conductor.
1:46:30 > 1:46:34Just remember, you're a lady!
1:46:34 > 1:46:39And you are going to be a star!
1:47:10 > 1:47:13- I'm going out first! - No, let's watch from the wings!
1:47:13 > 1:47:16- What's she going to do? - She ain't the type!
1:47:16 > 1:47:18- She'll never make it! - How do you know?
1:47:18 > 1:47:21- She'll quite halfway through! - I'm scared for her.
1:47:35 > 1:47:37Momma...
1:47:37 > 1:47:39I'm pretty!
1:47:40 > 1:47:42I'm a pretty girl, Momma!
1:47:47 > 1:47:52- You look beautiful. - Here! For luck, honey!
1:47:52 > 1:47:54Are you nervous?
1:47:54 > 1:47:56What?
1:47:56 > 1:47:57I said, are you nervous, baby?

1:56:12 > 1:56:16Now, Miss Rose! Miss Rose, did you not see that sign?!
1:56:16 > 1:56:18Sure I saw the sign!
1:56:18 > 1:56:20If I can read the fine print in our contracts,
1:56:20 > 1:56:22I can certainly read letters two feet high.
1:56:22 > 1:56:26"The mother of Miss Gypsy Rose Lee
1:56:26 > 1:56:29"is not allowed backstage at this theatre."
1:56:29 > 1:56:31- You know what I did with that sign?- Don't.
1:56:31 > 1:56:32I tore it right off the walls,
1:56:32 > 1:56:36spread it out on the floor and let Chowsy III down on it.
1:56:36 > 1:56:39That dog's a trooper, she knew what to do.
1:56:39 > 1:56:42Take more than signs to keep me out of a theatre.
1:56:46 > 1:56:48DOOR CLOSES
1:56:48 > 1:56:49That goes now.
1:56:49 > 1:56:51You need something to remind you
1:56:51 > 1:56:54that your goal was to be a great actress, not a cheap stripper.
1:56:54 > 1:56:58June's the actress, Mother. And I'm not a cheap stripper.
1:56:58 > 1:57:00I'm the highest paid in the business.
1:57:00 > 1:57:02Bring my press agent in as soon as he gets here.
1:57:02 > 1:57:04- Yes, ma'am.- Thank you.
1:57:05 > 1:57:07Aren't you going to take your bath?
1:57:07 > 1:57:08Yes, Mother.
1:57:08 > 1:57:12- Well, why are you fixing your face? - A photographer's coming.
1:57:12 > 1:57:14Where's he going to photograph you? In the tub?
1:57:14 > 1:57:16Eventually.
1:57:16 > 1:57:18- Louise!- It's for Vogue.
1:57:18 > 1:57:20Vogue? I better get out our scrapbooks.
1:57:20 > 1:57:22Phil's taken care of that.
1:57:22 > 1:57:24Phil is a rotten press agent.
1:57:24 > 1:57:27He never tells 'em that we headlined the Orpheum Circuit.
1:57:27 > 1:57:29PHONE RINGS I got it.
1:57:29 > 1:57:31Hello?
1:57:31 > 1:57:33Hello!
1:57:34 > 1:57:36No, it's difficult right now.
1:57:36 > 1:57:38I'm not leaving!
1:57:39 > 1:57:41I'll see you at the party.
1:57:42 > 1:57:43Yes, I promise.
1:57:44 > 1:57:46A bientot.
1:57:48 > 1:57:50A bien what?
1:57:50 > 1:57:54I guess I'm being a little... But, Momma, I love it.
1:57:54 > 1:57:56- All right so who's giving the party?- Some friends.
1:57:58 > 1:58:00In the old days, I was always invited first.
1:58:00 > 1:58:02I wouldn't go anyway, even if I did have something to wear.
1:58:02 > 1:58:04I got more important things to do,
1:58:04 > 1:58:06like thinking up a new idea for a strip for us.
1:58:06 > 1:58:08Mother, we're still stuck with that wind machine you bought
1:58:08 > 1:58:10to blow my clothes off.
1:58:11 > 1:58:15Actually, I'm putting in a new number on Saturday.
1:58:17 > 1:58:19- What is it?- You'll see.
1:58:19 > 1:58:22- I'll "see"?- Let me surprise you.
1:58:22 > 1:58:26Oh! These days, you are just one big surprise after another.
1:58:26 > 1:58:29We better go tomorrow and get the material for the gown.
1:58:29 > 1:58:31I have a French lesson tomorrow.
1:58:31 > 1:58:33- Oh? Well, I'll go alone. Any particular colour...?- Mother!
1:58:33 > 1:58:37I have already started to make the gown.
1:58:37 > 1:58:39Oh... Well, I better run your bath.
1:58:39 > 1:58:41You don't have to. That's what I've got a maid for.
1:58:41 > 1:58:43- Let me do something, dammit! - What, Mother?
1:58:43 > 1:58:45A million things. I'm not a baby.
1:58:45 > 1:58:46Neither am I.
1:58:46 > 1:58:48Don't take that tone with me.
1:58:48 > 1:58:50- Your sister used to get that edge to her voice...- I am not June!
1:58:50 > 1:58:54- No, and you're not Louise... - And neither are you!- Oh, yes, I am!
1:58:54 > 1:58:56More than you, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee,
1:58:56 > 1:58:58with your dirty pictures for Vogue.
1:58:58 > 1:59:02- Mother!- And your maids and your press agents, your fancy friends,
1:59:02 > 1:59:03- your fancy parties. - They happen to be...
1:59:03 > 1:59:05Your loud-mouth mother ain't invited
1:59:05 > 1:59:08- to those goddamn parties cos they laugh at her!- They don't.- They do!
1:59:08 > 1:59:10And don't think I don't know that's one reason
1:59:10 > 1:59:12why you don't want me backstage, so I won't hear 'em laugh.
1:59:12 > 1:59:14Well, it's them that you oughta keep out, not me,
1:59:14 > 1:59:16cos they're laughing at you too!
1:59:16 > 1:59:19You, the burlesque queen,
1:59:19 > 1:59:21who speaks lousy French
1:59:21 > 1:59:24- and reads book reviews like they was books!- Turn it off, Mother.
1:59:24 > 1:59:26Do you know what you are to them?
1:59:26 > 1:59:27A circus freak.
1:59:27 > 1:59:29This year's novelty act.
1:59:29 > 1:59:32- And when the bill is... - I said turn it off!
1:59:32 > 1:59:38Nobody laughs at me, because I laugh first! At me!
1:59:38 > 1:59:41Me, from Seattle. Me, with no education.
1:59:41 > 1:59:45Me, with no talent, as you've kept reminding me my whole life.
1:59:45 > 1:59:50Well, look at me now. A star! Look how I live.
1:59:50 > 1:59:51Look at my friends. Look where I'm going.
1:59:51 > 1:59:54I am not staying in burlesque.
1:59:54 > 1:59:58I am moving. Maybe up, maybe down, but wherever it is,
1:59:58 > 1:59:59I am enjoying it.
2:00:00 > 2:00:04Momma, I am having the time of my life
2:00:04 > 2:00:07because for the first time, it is my life.
2:00:07 > 2:00:08And I love it.
2:00:08 > 2:00:10I love every second of it and I'll be damned
2:00:10 > 2:00:13if you're going to take it away from me.
2:00:13 > 2:00:17I AM Gypsy Rose Lee.
2:00:17 > 2:00:21I love her and if you don't, you can clear out right now!
2:00:22 > 2:00:24KNOCK AT DOOR
2:00:26 > 2:00:29Your press agent is here with your photographer.
2:00:30 > 2:00:32Tell him I'll be ready in a minute.
2:00:36 > 2:00:41Momma, we can't go on shouting seven performances of this a week.
2:00:41 > 2:00:42The whole family shouts.
2:00:42 > 2:00:45It comes from living near the railroad.
2:00:46 > 2:00:49Well, I'm getting an ulcer.
2:00:49 > 2:00:51- Oh, you think I'm not? - Yes, I think you're not
2:00:51 > 2:00:54and if you want an ulcer, Momma, get one of your own.
2:00:54 > 2:00:56You can't have mine.
2:00:56 > 2:00:59Everybody has stomach trouble, but me.
2:00:59 > 2:01:01Mother, you have fought your whole life. I wish...
2:01:01 > 2:01:03You need more mascara on your left eye.
2:01:03 > 2:01:06Momma, you have got to let go of me!
2:01:07 > 2:01:08Let go?
2:01:08 > 2:01:10I'll give you anything you want.
2:01:10 > 2:01:12- You need me. - A house, a farm, a school...
2:01:12 > 2:01:14A dramatic school for kids? You were always great with kids.
2:01:14 > 2:01:16I'm a pro!
2:01:16 > 2:01:19Not some old work horse you can turn out to pasture
2:01:19 > 2:01:21just cos you think you're riding high on your own!
2:01:21 > 2:01:25Momma, no kid does it on their own but I am not a kid any more.
2:01:25 > 2:01:28From now on, even if I flop,
2:01:28 > 2:01:31I flop on my own!
2:01:31 > 2:01:32- KNOCKING - Hey, Gyps, what do you say?
2:01:37 > 2:01:39"So long, Rose."
2:01:40 > 2:01:42That's what she says.
2:01:44 > 2:01:47"Don't slam the door as you leave."
2:01:47 > 2:01:52Hi, Rose. Gyps, baby, may I present to you,
2:01:52 > 2:01:55Monsieur Bougeron-Cochon?
2:01:55 > 2:01:57Enchante, Monsieur.
2:01:57 > 2:01:59Enchante.
2:01:59 > 2:02:02- Oh!- Let's make with the oiseau, kiddies.
2:02:02 > 2:02:05- One before you take the plunge.- Yes.
2:02:05 > 2:02:06All set? Fine!
2:02:06 > 2:02:09All right, there's just one thing I want to know.
2:02:09 > 2:02:11So all the working
2:02:11 > 2:02:12and the pushing and finagling,
2:02:12 > 2:02:16all the scheming and scrimping, all the lying awake nights
2:02:16 > 2:02:18figuring how we're going to get from one town to the next,
2:02:18 > 2:02:20how do we all eat on a buck,
2:02:20 > 2:02:22how do I make an act out of nothing,
2:02:22 > 2:02:23what'd I do it for?!
2:02:25 > 2:02:27Huh?!
2:02:27 > 2:02:32You say I fought my whole life for your whole life.
2:02:32 > 2:02:34So now tell me.
2:02:34 > 2:02:36What'd I do it for?
2:02:39 > 2:02:42I thought you did it for me...
2:02:42 > 2:02:43Momma.
2:02:50 > 2:02:53- Come on, smile, Gyps.- Sorry.
2:02:53 > 2:02:55- Show us your talent!- Yes.
2:02:55 > 2:02:56That's it!
2:03:10 > 2:03:13"I thought you did it for me, Momma."
2:03:15 > 2:03:18"I thought you did it for me, Momma..."
2:03:20 > 2:03:23I thought you made a no-talent ox into a star
2:03:23 > 2:03:27because you like doing things the hard way, Momma.
2:03:28 > 2:03:31And you haven't any talent.
2:03:33 > 2:03:35Not what I call talent.
2:03:36 > 2:03:40Not an ounce of it, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee.
2:03:40 > 2:03:42I made you!
2:03:43 > 2:03:45And you want to know why?
2:03:46 > 2:03:49You want to know why I did it?
2:03:50 > 2:03:55Because I...was born too soon
2:03:55 > 2:03:57and started too late.
2:03:59 > 2:04:00That's why!
2:04:03 > 2:04:09With what I have in me, I could've been better than any of you!
2:04:11 > 2:04:13What I got...
2:04:17 > 2:04:20..in me,
2:04:20 > 2:04:25what I been holding down inside of me...
2:04:28 > 2:04:29..if I ever let it out...
2:04:32 > 2:04:35..there wouldn't be signs big enough!
2:04:37 > 2:04:40There wouldn't be lights bright enough!
2:04:42 > 2:04:44Here she is, boys!
2:04:45 > 2:04:48Here she is, world!
2:04:49 > 2:04:51Here's Rose!
2:04:57 > 2:04:59Curtain up.
2:05:01 > 2:05:03Light the lights.
2:05:05 > 2:05:07Play it, boys.
2:05:11 > 2:05:13# You either got it
2:05:13 > 2:05:15# Or you ain't

2:05:34 > 2:05:36# Some people can't even
2:05:36 > 2:05:39# Give it away
2:05:39 > 2:05:41# This people's got it
2:05:41 > 2:05:47# And this people's spreading it around
2:05:47 > 2:05:49# You either have it
2:05:52 > 2:05:54# Or you've had it... #
2:05:59 > 2:06:01Hello, everybody.

2:07:50 > 2:07:52# Why did I do it?
2:07:55 > 2:07:57# What did it get me?
2:07:59 > 2:08:03# Scrapbooks full of me in the background
2:08:05 > 2:08:08# Give 'em love and what does it get you?
2:08:08 > 2:08:10# What does it get you?
2:08:10 > 2:08:13# One quick look as each of 'em leaves you
2:08:15 > 2:08:18# All your life and what does it get you?
2:08:18 > 2:08:20# "Thanks a lot" and out with the garbage
2:08:20 > 2:08:23# They take bows while you're battin' zero
2:08:26 > 2:08:30# I had a dream
2:08:30 > 2:08:34# I dreamed it for you, June
2:08:35 > 2:08:40# It wasn't for me, Herbie,
2:08:40 > 2:08:43# And if it wasn't for me
2:08:43 > 2:08:51# Then where would you be Miss Gypsy Rose Lee?
2:08:51 > 2:08:53# Well, someone tell me
2:08:53 > 2:08:54# When is it my turn?
2:08:54 > 2:08:57# Don't I get a dream for myself?
2:08:57 > 2:08:59# Startin' now is gonna be my turn
2:08:59 > 2:09:01# Gangway, world get off of my runway

2:09:36 > 2:09:37# For...
2:09:39 > 2:09:49# For me! #
2:09:49 > 2:09:53APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
2:10:40 > 2:10:43SHE CLAPS
2:10:43 > 2:10:45You really would have been something, Mother.
2:10:49 > 2:10:51You think so?
2:10:51 > 2:10:54If you had had someone to push you like I had...
2:10:56 > 2:11:01If I could've been, I would've been.
2:11:03 > 2:11:04And that's...
2:11:05 > 2:11:07..show business.
2:11:11 > 2:11:14I guess I did do it for me.
2:11:16 > 2:11:18Why, Mother?
2:11:22 > 2:11:23I just wanted to be noticed.
2:11:26 > 2:11:29Like I wanted you to notice me.
2:11:40 > 2:11:43It's OK, Momma.
2:11:45 > 2:11:48SHE WAILS
2:11:57 > 2:12:00It's OK, Rose.
2:12:02 > 2:12:04SHE CRIES
2:12:18 > 2:12:21You look like you should speak French.
2:12:21 > 2:12:23LAUGHTER
2:12:23 > 2:12:27You're coming to that party with me. Come on.
2:12:27 > 2:12:28What, like this?
2:12:28 > 2:12:31Wear my stole.
2:12:31 > 2:12:33I have another in the box office.
2:12:39 > 2:12:41Maybe just for an hour or two.
2:12:41 > 2:12:44LAUGHTER
2:12:50 > 2:12:52Looks better on me than it does on you.
2:12:53 > 2:12:57Funny how we can both wear the same size.
2:12:57 > 2:12:59Especially in sable.
2:13:03 > 2:13:06You know, I had a dream last night.
2:13:07 > 2:13:12It was a big poster of a mother and daughter,
2:13:12 > 2:13:15like the cover of that ladies' magazine.
2:13:15 > 2:13:18- Yes, Mother?- Only it was you and me,
2:13:18 > 2:13:21wearing exactly the same gown.
2:13:21 > 2:13:26It was an ad for Minsky, and the headline said...
2:13:28 > 2:13:31Madam Rose...
2:13:35 > 2:13:38..and her daughter, Gypsy.
2:13:58 > 2:14:02APPLAUSE
