CHILDREN CHATTER

0:01:590:02:02

Mothers shut up.

0:02:030:02:04

All mothers out.

0:02:040:02:06

Georgie, Georgie!

0:02:060:02:08

I don't want a mother on the wings,

0:02:080:02:09

I don't want a mother in the theatre, I want them out!

0:02:090:02:12

-It's a pleasure. OK, mothers.

-OK, kiddies, let's go.

0:02:120:02:15

Let's get in a straight line, right along here

0:02:150:02:17

and step forward one at a time.

0:02:170:02:20

Shut up!

0:02:200:02:21

SILENCE

0:02:210:02:23

The doors open at seven

0:02:230:02:24

and Uncle Jocko doesn't have time to rehearse each of your darling acts.

0:02:240:02:28

You wait right over here, girlie-girl.

0:02:280:02:31

Hey, Gus! Hit this doll with a surprise pink

0:02:310:02:34

when she does her turn.

0:02:340:02:35

Uncle Jocko promised the wee bairn she'd be a winner and she will!

0:02:350:02:39

SHE GIGGLES

0:02:410:02:42

Chip off her sister's block.

0:02:430:02:45

You ought to see them balloons!

0:02:450:02:47

-SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-OK.

0:02:470:02:49

And who is the first wee laddie in Uncle Jocko's Kiddie Show?

0:02:490:02:52

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-Take each of them from the top and then cut to the last eight.

0:02:520:02:55

-SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-Every Friday night.

-HE HUMS Scotland The Brave

0:02:550:02:58

Uncle Jocko didnae ken that there were

0:02:580:03:00

so many talented bairns right here in...

0:03:000:03:05

Seattle.

0:03:050:03:06

-AMERICAN ACCENT:

-And the rest of the crap.

0:03:060:03:09

Sidney and his sophisticated saxophone.

0:03:090:03:11

CHILD PLAYS HALTINGLY

0:03:130:03:16

George, THAT is what is going to kill Vaudeville!

0:03:210:03:25

Get to the end, Sidney, the end, kiddo, the end, professor!

0:03:250:03:28

And who does Uncle Jocko have... Who the hell...?

0:03:300:03:33

Baby June and Company. Half the song, half the dance, and off!

0:03:340:03:38

Gotcha!

0:03:380:03:39

MUSIC STARTS

0:03:390:03:41

# May we entertain you

0:03:430:03:46

# May we see you smile

0:03:460:03:49

# I will do some kicks... #

0:03:490:03:52

SHE SQUEALS

0:03:520:03:53

# I will do some tricks... #

0:03:530:03:56

-WOMAN: Sing out, Louise!

-Who said that?

0:03:560:03:58

-# I'll tell you a story... #

-Who said that?

0:03:580:04:00

WOMAN: You're behind, Louise. Catch up, honey, catch up!

0:04:000:04:03

Who let in one of them mothers?

0:04:030:04:06

-APPLAUSE GEORGE:

-She's got a dog!

0:04:060:04:07

Hold it, please, hold it, hold it!

0:04:070:04:10

Save your strength, June.

0:04:100:04:13

Louise, dear, if you don't count...

0:04:130:04:14

-Madam, do you realise you are absolutely...

-I do, Uncle Jocko,

0:04:140:04:17

-but I want to save your very valuable time for you.

-In that case...

0:04:170:04:20

When I saw your sensitive face at the Odd Fellows Hall...

0:04:200:04:22

My first husband was an Odd Fellow.

0:04:220:04:24

-I am not an Odd Fellow!

-I meant a Knight of Pythias. My second husband was...

0:04:240:04:27

-I was not a Knight of Pythias!

-Then where did you catch our act?

0:04:270:04:30

At the Elks.

0:04:300:04:31

My father is an Elk!

0:04:310:04:33

Will you hold Chowsie for me? That's short for Chow Mein.

0:04:330:04:37

Mummy just loves Chow Mein, doesn't she, chowsie-wowsie?

0:04:370:04:41

Stop sucking your thumb, Louise.

0:04:410:04:43

Professor, I just marvel how you can turn a performer into an artist.

0:04:430:04:46

Now if you would help my little girls by giving them

0:04:460:04:48

-a good loud la-da-da-de-da-da-da...

-What is going on here?

0:04:480:04:52

God helps him who helps himself.

0:04:520:04:53

Mr Zipser, when my girls do their specialty, could you ad lick it? Thank you. Show him, girls.

0:04:530:04:59

-SHE SQUEALS

-Is this really happening?!

0:04:590:05:01

Gus? Oh, Gus, would you please slap Baby June with something pink?

0:05:010:05:04

-She's the star. Smile, baby dear!

-I have met all kinds of mothers...

0:05:040:05:07

Don't hang on the baby's dress, you'll rumple it up.

0:05:070:05:10

Now, do you know of a really good agent who could book a professional act like ours?

0:05:100:05:13

A professional act! Hey, Georgie! Get a load of this...

0:05:130:05:16

Don't laugh!

0:05:160:05:18

Don't you dare laugh!

0:05:180:05:19

That child is going to be a star.

0:05:190:05:20

That's what they all say. All right...

0:05:200:05:22

-But we're not finished!

-They are as far as I'm concerned.

0:05:220:05:25

Because you're trying to play favourites!

0:05:250:05:26

-What?

-How dare you let that rotten, untalented fat balloon block up my babies?

0:05:260:05:31

I won't leave this stage till she does!

0:05:310:05:33

-That child...

-Have you no loyalty to the Elks?

0:05:330:05:36

-I'm not an Elk!

-Well, the editor of the Gazette is!

0:05:360:05:38

I happen to know because at the last meeting he showed my father

0:05:380:05:41

a letter he got complaining some contest was fixed!

0:05:410:05:43

I guess desperate people do desperate things.

0:05:430:05:45

La-da-da-de-da-da!

0:05:450:05:46

Thank you, Professor. Thank you, Uncle Jocko.

0:05:460:05:49

MUSIC STARTS Thank you, Gus! And thank you, Mr Zipser!

0:05:490:05:52

# ..May we see you smile? #

0:05:520:05:56

-Smile, girls, smile!

-# I will do some kicks

0:05:560:06:00

# I will do some tricks

0:06:000:06:04

# I'll tell you a story

0:06:040:06:07

# I'll dance when she's done

0:06:070:06:11

TOGETHER: # By the time we're through

0:06:110:06:13

# Entertaining you

0:06:130:06:15

# You'll have a very good time... #

0:06:150:06:18

THEY SCREAM # You'll have a very good time... #

0:06:180:06:22

APPLAUSE

0:06:220:06:24

That rotten little Uncle Jocko! He's as cheap as your grandpa.

0:06:290:06:33

Ten bucks for a talent like yours!

0:06:330:06:34

Well, we're through with kiddie shows.

0:06:340:06:36

And with your grandpa's lodge hall.

0:06:360:06:38

It's time we moved on, anyway!

0:06:380:06:40

I'm going to get us an agent to book the act on the Orpheum Circuit.

0:06:400:06:43

-That's dog food, Momma.

-That's what she thinks - I'm hungry.

0:06:430:06:47

Then why didn't you eat some of our chow mein after the show?

0:06:470:06:52

Because you two did all the work and we have to save every cent.

0:06:520:06:55

I had a dream last night -

0:06:550:06:58

I dreamt a whole new act for you!

0:06:580:07:00

Baby June and her Newsboys!

0:07:000:07:03

How are you going to get the boys, Momma?

0:07:030:07:05

Louise can be a boy - and I'll find three others.

0:07:050:07:08

How are you going to pay them?

0:07:080:07:10

The experience will be their pay.

0:07:100:07:12

I've got just enough saved up for scenery and costumes.

0:07:120:07:15

If I can squeeze a few bucks out of Grandpa,

0:07:150:07:17

we can head for Los Angeles and the Orpheum Circuit.

0:07:170:07:22

-Goodnight, Momma.

-Goodnight.

-Goodnight, Grandpa.

0:07:220:07:26

You ought to be ashamed, fooling your kids with those dreams!

0:07:260:07:28

They're real dreams and I'm going to make 'em come real for my kids!

0:07:280:07:31

What are you, Rose, a crazy woman?!

0:07:310:07:33

God put you down right here because he meant for you to stay right here!

0:07:330:07:37

God's like me, Pop - we both need outside assistance.

0:07:370:07:40

You've squeezed the last penny out of me that you're ever going to get!

0:07:400:07:43

It ain't for me! It's for my girls. It's too late for me.

0:07:430:07:46

It ain't too late for you to get a husband to support you.

0:07:460:07:48

After three husbands, I want to enjoy myself.

0:07:480:07:51

And I want my girls to enjoy themselves and travel, like Mama does!

0:07:510:07:55

And you'll leave them just like your mother left you!

0:07:550:07:58

Never!

0:07:580:08:00

Why aren't you ready for bed, Louise?

0:08:000:08:02

June said you said she can sleep with you tonight.

0:08:020:08:05

Well, you know how high-strung the baby is after a performance.

0:08:050:08:09

I performed.

0:08:090:08:10

Yeah... It ain't the same. Say goodnight and go to bed.

0:08:100:08:14

Goodnight, Grandpa.

0:08:140:08:15

Goodnight, Louise. You're a good girl.

0:08:150:08:17

You are a good girl, and I was proud of you tonight.

0:08:170:08:20

Momma...

0:08:200:08:23

..how come I have three fathers?

0:08:240:08:26

Because you're lucky.

0:08:270:08:29

You were born with a caul.

0:08:290:08:32

That means you got powers to read palms and tell fortunes

0:08:320:08:35

and wonderful things are going to happen for you!

0:08:350:08:37

-Why do you fill her with such bunk?

-It ain't bunk!

0:08:370:08:40

Nothin' wonderful is going to happen to her or June or to you.

0:08:400:08:43

Maybe not to me, but they're going to have a marvellous time!

0:08:430:08:45

I'll be damned if I'm going to let them sit away their lives like I did.

0:08:450:08:48

Or like you do, with only that calendar to tell you one day from the next.

0:08:480:08:53

Or that plaque - from your rotten railroad company to say, "Congratulations,

0:08:530:08:56

"for 50 years, you've done the same dull thing every dull day."

0:08:560:08:59

That plaque is a great tribute! It's solid gold!

0:08:590:09:02

-How much could you get for it?

-Rose, if you...

-What good's it doin' sittin' up there?!

0:09:020:09:06

It belongs there like you belong home.

0:09:060:09:08

Anybody that stays home is dead!

0:09:080:09:10

If I die, it won't be from sittin'!

0:09:100:09:12

It'll be from fightin' to get up and get out!

0:09:120:09:15

# Some people can get a thrill

0:09:150:09:19

# Knitting sweaters and sitting still

0:09:190:09:22

# That's OK for some people who don't know they're alive

0:09:220:09:29

# Some people can thrive and bloom

0:09:290:09:33

# Living life in a living room

0:09:330:09:37

# That's perfect for some people of 105

0:09:370:09:44

# But I at least got to try

0:09:440:09:50

# When I think of all the sights that I got to see yet

0:09:500:09:53

# All the places I got to play

0:09:530:09:55

# All the things that I got to be yet

0:09:550:09:57

# Come on, Poppa, what do you say?

0:09:570:09:59

# Some people can be content

0:09:590:10:02

# Playing bingo and paying rent

0:10:020:10:06

# That's peachy for some people

0:10:060:10:09

# For some humdrum people to be

0:10:090:10:17

# But some people ain't me. #

0:10:170:10:21

# I had a dream

0:10:230:10:26

# A wonderful dream, Poppa

0:10:260:10:30

# All about June and the Orpheum Circuit

0:10:300:10:32

# Give me a chance and I know I can work it

0:10:320:10:34

# I had a dream

0:10:340:10:38

# Just as real as can be, Poppa

0:10:380:10:41

# There I was in Mr Orpheum's office

0:10:420:10:46

# And he was saying to me,

0:10:460:10:49

# Rose

0:10:490:10:50

# Get yourself some new orchestrations

0:10:500:10:52

# New routines and red velvet curtains

0:10:520:10:54

# Get a feathered hat for the baby

0:10:540:10:56

# Photographs in front of the theatre

0:10:560:10:58

# Get an agent

0:10:580:11:00

# And in jig time you'll be being booked in the big time

0:11:000:11:03

# Oh, what a dream

0:11:030:11:06

# A wonderful dream, Poppa

0:11:060:11:10

# And all that I need is 88 bucks, Poppa!

0:11:100:11:16

# That's what he said, Poppa

0:11:160:11:20

# Only 88 bucks... #

0:11:200:11:22

You ain't gettin' 88 cents from me, Rose!

0:11:220:11:25

Well, then I'll get it someplace else!

0:11:250:11:28

But I'll get it and get my kids out!

0:11:280:11:31

# Goodbye to blueberry pie

0:11:340:11:40

# Good riddance to all the socials I had to go to

0:11:400:11:44

# All the lodges I had to play

0:11:440:11:45

# All the shriners I said hello to

0:11:450:11:48

# Hey, LA I'm coming your way

0:11:480:11:50

# Some people sit on their butts

0:11:500:11:53

# Got the dream, yeah, but not the guts

0:11:530:11:57

# That's living for some people

0:11:570:12:00

# For some humdrum people, I suppose

0:12:000:12:08

# Well, they can stay and rot

0:12:080:12:11

# But not Rose. #

0:12:170:12:22

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:12:220:12:25

SHE WHISTLES

0:12:550:12:56

# Goodbye to blueberry pie

0:13:040:13:09

# I had a dream

0:13:200:13:22

# A wonderful dream

0:13:230:13:26

KIDS: # Hail, hail the gang's all here

0:13:260:13:29

# Hail

0:13:290:13:32

# Some people sit on their butts

0:13:330:13:36

# Got the dream, yeah but not the guts

0:13:360:13:38

# That's living for some people I suppose

0:13:400:13:45

# But not Rose. #

0:13:560:14:02

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:14:050:14:08

No, no, no, Madam Rose, no!

0:14:100:14:14

Listen, Mr Weber, you don't know how to run your theatre.

0:14:140:14:16

Your business is slipping. You need youth, fresh young talent.

0:14:160:14:19

Madam Rose, I told you this morning, I told you this afternoon

0:14:190:14:22

and I am telling you now -

0:14:220:14:23

if there is anything I hate worse than kids, it's kids on stage!

0:14:230:14:27

Sh!

0:14:270:14:28

Children, go play in the alley. Mr Weber, that was a rotten remark.

0:14:280:14:31

And if you were a gentleman, you'd apologise and book my act.

0:14:310:14:34

I am not a gentleman.

0:14:340:14:35

Yes, you are. Deep down...

0:14:350:14:37

Herbie!

0:14:370:14:38

I was looking for you to get your opinion on the show.

0:14:380:14:41

-I doubled your candy order, Ed.

-That bad, huh?

0:14:410:14:43

Except for a couple of acts. I left a memo on your desk.

0:14:430:14:46

Mr Weber, you left me right in the middle of a sentence.

0:14:460:14:48

Madam Rose, you are always in the middle of a sentence.

0:14:480:14:52

If your show is as rotten as this intelligent says, you can

0:14:520:14:55

certainly try my act for a couple of nights, couldn't you?

0:14:550:14:57

Yeah, he could. You could, Ed.

0:14:570:14:59

-What?

-Your theatre gets a family audience, they love kids.

-And my kids are great.

0:14:590:15:03

-They sure are.

-How do you know?

0:15:030:15:05

-I've seen 'em.

-Where?

-In Seattle.

0:15:050:15:07

They give your show a lift, Ed.

0:15:070:15:08

-Well...

-Listen to the man.

-Stop pushing!

0:15:080:15:11

Let me think it over.

0:15:110:15:13

Gee...

0:15:130:15:14

It's hard for me to say thanks.

0:15:150:15:19

You just did.

0:15:190:15:21

So, why'd he listen to you?

0:15:210:15:23

Everybody in showbusiness listens to anybody.

0:15:230:15:26

-Besides, I used to book acts into this theatre.

-Are you an agent?

0:15:260:15:29

I was - I'm in the candy business now.

0:15:290:15:32

I sell to vaudeville houses all over the West.

0:15:320:15:34

How could you ever leave showbusiness?

0:15:340:15:36

When the acts I handled had too little talent,

0:15:360:15:38

-I got sick to my stomach - ulcers.

-You're too sympathetic.

0:15:380:15:41

Also, I went bust - I was always giving them my commission,

0:15:410:15:44

telling them they got a raise.

0:15:440:15:45

The Good Lord says charity begins at home.

0:15:450:15:48

Well, I don't have a home.

0:15:480:15:50

You're not married?

0:15:500:15:53

I have five sisters

0:15:530:15:55

and the ugly one didn't get married till a year ago.

0:15:550:15:58

Why do you help me just now?

0:15:580:16:00

-I love kids.

-Oh.

0:16:000:16:04

-Also, I saw you before.

-Where?

-Waiting outside Weber's office.

0:16:040:16:07

You looked like a pioneer woman without a frontier.

0:16:070:16:10

I don't suppose you'd consider being an agent again?

0:16:100:16:13

Would you consider marrying again?

0:16:130:16:16

How do you know I'm not married now?

0:16:160:16:18

I asked your kids about you.

0:16:180:16:20

Oh...

0:16:220:16:23

Well, after three husbands,

0:16:250:16:27

it takes an awful lot of butter to get you back in the frying pan.

0:16:270:16:32

And after 20 years of showbusiness,

0:16:340:16:37

you kind of breathe better in the real world.

0:16:370:16:40

-Funny.

-What?

-Us.

0:16:410:16:44

Cos I like you, but I don't want marriage.

0:16:440:16:47

You like me, but you don't want showbusiness.

0:16:470:16:49

That seems to leave you there and me here.

0:16:490:16:52

That all depends on how you look at it.

0:16:520:16:53

You look at what we don't have.

0:16:530:16:56

I look at what we do have.

0:16:560:16:59

# Funny, you're a stranger who's come here

0:16:590:17:03

# Come from another town

0:17:030:17:07

# Funny, I'm a stranger myself here

0:17:080:17:12

# Small world, isn't it?

0:17:120:17:16

# Funny, you're a man who goes travelling

# Rather than settling down

0:17:210:17:26

# Funny, cos I'd love to go travelling

0:17:260:17:30

# Small world, isn't it?

# Funny, isn't it

0:18:120:18:16

# Small and funny and fine... #

0:18:160:18:24

Well, I'm not going to pay you much money.

0:18:240:18:27

Oh, you'll have to talk about money to Herbie.

0:18:270:18:31

Are you handling her act?

0:18:310:18:33

No, I can't! But I can't...

0:18:330:18:36

Yep, I guess I am.

0:18:360:18:38

I'll be in the office. Bring in the cloth.

Rose, is this act of yours any good?

0:18:570:19:01

Good? It's great!

0:19:010:19:03

And June is sensational. Wait till you see it!

-Turn it off, Louise!

0:26:090:26:12

I was having the loveliest dream.

About a special day.

0:26:150:26:17

Sh!

0:26:170:26:18

-My dream book says you dream about a day like that...

-We want to sleep!

0:26:180:26:21

-I just wanted to say... ALL:

-SHUT UP!

0:26:210:26:23

I'm sorry.

-Aww!

-Louise!

Jeez!

-Come on!

-How can you all sleep on such a beautiful day?

0:26:350:26:38

-You woke up Mother!

-Oh, I didn't mean to, June,

0:26:380:26:40

-but today is, well, you know.

-Today is the one day

0:26:400:26:43

we don't have to travel and we don't have to rehearse.

0:26:430:26:45

Which means we could sleep!

0:26:450:26:47

Is Momma mad?

0:26:470:26:49

She's in the bathroom, making coffee.

0:26:490:26:51

She says as long as she's up, everybody come have some breakfast!

0:26:510:26:55

-Oh, great(!)

-Thanks, Louise!

-Yeah, thanks so much!

-I said I was sorry!

0:27:310:27:33

-But she only had ten candles last year!

-And the year before that!

0:27:330:27:36

-Come to think of it, she's only had ten candles...

-Stop right there!

LAUGHTER

0:27:430:27:45

Excepting, of course, me and Herb... Where is Herbie? I had a dream.

0:27:450:27:48

Tulsa, go across the hall, see what's keeping Herbie.

0:27:480:27:51

The rest of you give Louise her presents

0:27:510:27:53

while I go see if the chow mein is warmed up.

0:27:530:27:55

-Chow mein?

-It's my birthday!

0:27:550:27:57

-But chow mein for breakfast?

-Why not? There's egg roll, ain't there?

0:27:570:28:01

Well, if Madam Rose had paid us a salary,

0:28:010:28:04

maybe we could have bought you presents, Louise.

0:28:040:28:07

But since it's more fun to clip from the five and dime...

0:28:070:28:13

It's a catcher's mitt.

0:28:130:28:15

And...a big league baseball.

0:28:150:28:18

Thank you, Yonkers!

0:28:180:28:19

Here's a real stuffed cat.

0:28:190:28:21

I love it, Kansas!

0:28:210:28:24

And I clipped a goldfish bowl

0:28:240:28:25

and I'll give you the fish for Lent.

0:28:250:28:27

-Thank you, LA!

-LA.

0:28:270:28:29

Oh, June, what a beautiful package!

0:28:290:28:32

It's a complete sewing set in a velvet-lined basket.

0:28:320:28:35

I...should have wrapped them.

0:28:350:28:37

Oh, you don't have to wrap books.

0:28:370:28:39

-Well, happy birthday, Louise!

-Happy birthday, Tulsa!

0:28:390:28:42

Happy birthday?

0:28:420:28:43

I-I mean you're welcome.

0:28:430:28:45

I mean...thank you.

0:28:450:28:47

All right, there's one egg roll apiece and no more.

0:28:470:28:50

-Herbie wasn't in his room, Madam Rose.

-He wasn't?

-No.

0:28:500:28:52

Where could he be?

0:28:520:28:54

-Momma, can I see my present from you, please?

-Well, it's from Herbie and me.

0:28:540:28:58

It's not from Herbie, he's an agent. It's from you.

0:28:580:29:00

I picked it out, but Herbie paid for it

0:29:000:29:02

with his commission for a whole month!

0:29:020:29:04

Herbie only makes the same salary we do, poor guy.

0:29:040:29:06

Inside, you, and get the coffee.

0:29:060:29:08

Oh, here I am, I'm busting to tell Herbie the dream I had.

0:29:080:29:11

-Momma, I'll...

-It's really in your honour,

0:29:110:29:13

coming on the very eve of your birthday.

0:29:130:29:15

Oh, baby, you're going to love it!

0:29:150:29:17

Children, you're all going to love it. It's a new act!

0:29:170:29:19

-That ain't a dream, it's a miracle!

-Ha-ha-ha!

0:29:190:29:22

No egg roll. In this dream I saw

0:29:220:29:24

June singing a song in, like, a barnyard.

0:29:240:29:28

-And then a cow came on stage.

-A cow?

-Oh, sex at last(!)

0:29:280:29:32

-LAUGHTER

-No, not real cows, a dancing cow with a great big smile.

0:29:320:29:36

And then that cow, that cow leaned right over my bed and spoke to me.

0:29:360:29:40

What did the cow say?

0:29:400:29:42

Baaaa!

0:29:420:29:43

Happy birthday, sweetheart!

0:29:430:29:45

-A little lamb!

-Oh, Rose, you won't believe.

0:29:450:29:48

Where have you been? That's what I want to know.

0:29:480:29:50

-Rose, Rose, this is Mr Goldstone.

-I ask you, Mr Goldstone.

0:29:500:29:53

The child has a birthday once a year,

0:29:530:29:55

we plan a nice little party, I'm sorry the cake is so small...

0:29:550:29:57

Mr Goldstone is from the Orpheum Circuit.

0:29:570:29:59

There's only one egg roll apiece and some...

0:29:590:30:01

fried...rice...

0:30:010:30:03

The act is booked on the Orpheum Circuit, Rose.

Oh, don't be silly. Who? Don't you like it, Herbie?

Sure, Rose. I love it.

Herbie's angry.

0:35:330:35:35

Herbie's never angry - it's bad for his stomach.

0:35:350:35:37

Come on, girls, beddie-bye.

0:35:370:35:38

It's so early!

0:35:380:35:40

But, you have the audition for Mr TT Grantziger at his Palace Theatre tomorrow and you have to look young.

0:35:400:35:45

Can I wear a dress?

0:35:450:35:46

You look old in a dress. Besides, you haven't got one.

0:35:460:35:49

-Goodnight, Uncle Herbie.

-Goodnight, June.

0:35:490:35:51

Goodnight, Louise.

0:35:540:35:56

Goodnight, Herbie.

0:35:570:35:59

I'll cold-cream their faces and be right back.

0:35:590:36:01

Rose, the hotel is only two doors away.

0:36:010:36:04

Honestly, sometimes you behave as though those... Rose!

0:36:040:36:07

We need new silverware.

0:36:090:36:12

Herbie, how long is it going to take you to get used to me?

0:36:120:36:15

How long did it take me to get used to those coats?

0:36:150:36:17

What's the matter with them? They're very stylish!

0:36:170:36:20

Louise is very handy with a needle.

0:36:200:36:23

Herbie, as the good Lord says - an eye for an eye - a tooth for a tooth.

0:36:230:36:28

And it serves them right for overcharging.

0:36:280:36:32

HE CLEARS THROAT

0:36:320:36:35

LAUGHTER

0:36:350:36:37

They can skip the cold cream for one night.

0:36:390:36:44

All this time we've been together, you still stand up for me.

0:36:440:36:47

-Instead of standing up TO you.

-I wanted to have dinner tonight, just the two of us.

0:36:470:36:50

What was I going to do with the girls? They're babies.

0:36:500:36:54

Rose, no matter how you dress 'em, no matter how you smother 'em, they're big girls.

0:36:540:36:57

-They're almost young women.

-They're not and they never will be!

0:36:570:37:00

-I'm embarrassed in front of them!

-When are you going to marry me, Rose?

0:37:000:37:02

Don't forget to take our scrapbooks to Grantziger's tomorrow.

0:37:020:37:05

When are you going to quit stalling? Honey, don't you know there's a depression?

0:37:050:37:09

Of course I know! I read Variety.

0:37:090:37:11

Don't you know what it's doing to vaudeville?

0:37:110:37:13

Don't you know what the talkies are doing to vaudeville?

0:37:130:37:16

Don't you know I love you?

0:37:160:37:19

Do you think I'd be unfaithful to my husbands if you didn't?

0:37:190:37:23

But I have to think of my girls and their happiness.

0:37:230:37:26

Louise is very happy being the rear end of a cow.

0:37:260:37:28

She loves animals.

0:37:280:37:29

She and June should be in school.

0:37:290:37:31

And be like other girls - cook and clean and sit and die?!

0:37:310:37:36

Oh, honey, could I have a spoon to stir my tea?

0:37:360:37:40

I promised June she'd be a star and she will be.

0:37:420:37:44

I promised I'd get her on the Pantages Circuit and I did.

0:37:440:37:47

I promised I'd get her on the Orpheum Circuit and I did.

0:37:470:37:49

I did! And you promised me that after I did, you'd marry me.

0:37:490:37:52

-I promised her she'd headline on Broadway.

-Didn't you hear what I said?

0:37:520:37:56

Yes, but I'm ignoring it.

0:37:560:37:58

Oh, thanks, honey!

0:37:580:38:00

LAUGHTER

0:38:010:38:03

It isn't very polite for a gentleman to remind a lady

0:38:030:38:05

that she welched. There was no date on that promise.

0:38:050:38:08

Rose, stop handing me that...bull.

0:38:080:38:12

Your stomach!

0:38:130:38:15

Oh, Herbie. Why don't you get angry outside, instead of letting it settle in your stomach?

0:38:150:38:22

-I'm afraid.

-Of me?

-Of me.

-What do you mean?

0:38:220:38:25

If I ever let loose, it'll end with me picking up and walking.

0:38:250:38:28

-Only around the block.

-No.

0:38:280:38:30

Don't say that.

# You'll never get away from me

0:39:130:39:19

Rose, what do you want? There are better agents.

0:39:190:39:22

-Not for me.

-Even weaker men.

0:39:220:39:24

Not for me.

0:39:240:39:26

Then what?

0:39:260:39:27

You. Herbie, just help me like you been helping.

0:39:270:39:30

Just let me get June's name up in lights so big, it'll last my whole life.

0:39:300:39:34

Rose, what you expect...

0:39:340:39:35

I'll get! And after I get it, I promise I'll marry you.

0:39:350:39:39

I even promise to keep my promise. Herbie, please.

0:39:390:39:45

I don't want to upset anything before the audition tomorrow.

0:39:450:39:48

Including your stomach.

0:39:480:39:51

There's only one item in that act of yours the boss likes -

0:51:040:51:08

Dainty Little June. He thinks she can be an actress.

0:51:080:51:11

-He's right.

-That's if...

-If what?

0:51:110:51:14

If she goes to school for a solid year and takes acting lessons.

You - stay away.

Momma's just talking big, June. She won't really...

0:52:460:52:48

-Yes, she will.

-Maybe Mr Grantziger will make...

0:52:480:52:51

No, he won't.

0:52:510:52:54

Well, that's show business.

0:52:540:52:58

Aren't you happy someone like Mr TT Grantziger thinks you can be a star?

0:52:580:53:03

-You're funny.

-Why?

0:53:030:53:04

You're never jealous.

0:53:040:53:06

Oh. Well, I don't have any talent.

0:53:060:53:08

I don't mind really - except Momma would like it better if I did.

0:53:080:53:11

I guess that's what she likes about me. Momma's no fool.

0:53:110:53:15

-I'm not a star.

-You are.

0:53:150:53:17

I'm not! Mr Grantziger could make me one.

0:53:170:53:20

Momma can make you a star, too.

0:53:200:53:22

Momma can do one thing -

0:53:220:53:23

she can make herself believe anything she makes up.

0:53:230:53:26

Like with that rhinestone finale dress you sewed for me.

0:53:260:53:30

Momma wants publicity,

0:53:300:53:31

so she makes up this story that three nuns went blind sewing it.

0:53:310:53:36

Now she believes it. She even believes the act is good.

0:53:360:53:40

Isn't it?

0:53:400:53:43

It's a terrible act and I hate it!

0:53:430:53:46

I've hated it from the beginning and I hate it more now.

0:53:460:53:51

I hate pretending I'm two years old.

0:53:510:53:54

I hate singing those same awful songs,

0:53:540:53:58

doing the same awful dances,

0:53:580:53:59

wearing the same awful costumes.

0:53:590:54:02

I didn't mean it about the costumes.

0:54:040:54:05

You just meant that you're too big for them now.

0:54:050:54:08

Do you ever feel like you don't have a sister?

0:54:100:54:13

-Sometimes.

-It's Momma's fault.

0:54:130:54:15

You can't blame everything on Momma.

0:54:150:54:17

You can't maybe. I wish she'd marry Herbie and let me alone.

0:54:170:54:22

Herbie doesn't want to marry her.

0:54:220:54:24

All he cares about is the act.

0:54:240:54:25

Oh, honest. Louise.

0:54:250:54:26

Well, he's an agent!

0:54:260:54:27

Your mother isn't feeling well.

0:54:270:54:30

I'll take her back to the hotel.

0:54:310:54:33

Don't worry, June. I'll get you a good booking.

0:54:360:54:40

I wish Momma would marry a plain man

0:54:400:54:43

so we could all be together.

0:54:430:54:45

If Momma was married...

0:54:450:54:48

# If Momma was married we'd live in a house

0:54:480:54:52

# As private as private can be

0:54:520:54:56

# Just Momma, three ducks five canaries, a mouse

0:54:560:54:59

# Two monkeys, one father six turtles and me... #

0:54:590:55:04

LAUGHTER

0:55:040:55:06

# If Momma was married

0:55:060:55:11

# If Momma was married I'd jump in the air

0:55:110:55:15

# And give all my toeshoes to you

0:55:150:55:19

# I'd get all these hair-ribbons out of my hair

0:55:190:55:23

# And once and for all I'd get Momma out, too

0:55:230:55:29

# If Momma was married

0:55:290:55:34

# Momma, get out your white dress you've done it before

0:55:340:55:40

# Without much success

0:55:400:55:42

# Momma, God speed and God bless

0:55:420:55:46

# We're not keeping score what's one, more or less

0:55:460:55:51

# Oh, Momma, say yes

0:55:530:55:55

# And waltz down the aisle while you may

0:55:550:56:00

# I'll gladly support you

0:56:000:56:02

# I'll even escort you

0:56:020:56:04

# And I'll gladly give you away

0:56:040:56:08

# Oh, Momma

0:56:080:56:11

# Get married today

0:56:110:56:17

# If Momma was married there wouldn't be any more

0:56:170:56:21

# Let me entertain you

0:56:210:56:25

# Let me make you smile

0:56:250:56:29

# I will do some kicks... #

0:56:290:56:32

BOTH: Oh!

0:56:320:56:34

# I will do some tricks

0:56:340:56:36

# Sing out, Louise!

0:56:360:56:38

# Smile, baby!

0:56:390:56:43

# Momma, please take our advice

0:56:430:56:47

# We aren't the Lunts

0:56:470:56:49

# I'm not Fanny Brice

0:56:490:56:51

# Momma, we'll buy you the rice

0:56:510:56:55

# If only this once

0:56:550:56:57

# You wouldn't think twice

0:56:570:57:01

# It could be so nice

0:57:020:57:04

# If Momma got married to stay

0:57:040:57:08

# But Momma gets married

0:57:100:57:13

# And

0:57:130:57:14

# Married

0:57:140:57:15

# And

0:57:150:57:16

# Married

0:57:160:57:18

# And never gets carried away

0:57:180:57:22

# Oh, Momma

0:57:220:57:26

# Oh, Momma

0:57:260:57:30

# Oh, Momma

0:57:300:57:35

# Get married today. #

0:57:350:57:40

APPLAUSE

0:57:400:57:44

That's pretty fancy footwork, Tulsa. Why don't you show it to Madam Rose?

0:58:020:58:05

I'm not that good, Herbie. It's just fooling around.

0:58:050:58:08

Tulsa, you started fooling around about three months ago,

0:58:080:58:11

right after Mr Grantziger cancelled our booking.

0:58:110:58:13

-Why, Tulsa?

-Well, I...

0:58:130:58:16

He's just had more time. Like that two-week layoff in Albany.

0:58:160:58:19

-And the layoff in Rochester.

-And the layoff in Niagara Falls.

0:58:190:58:22

-It's OK, Herbie.

-I thought maybe you were worried about the act.

-Oh, no, Herbie.

0:58:220:58:25

Because the way things are picking up - why, I wouldn't be surprised if you kids got paid!

0:58:250:58:29

Matter of fact, they're good enough right now for me to treat you to an ice cream soda.

0:58:290:58:33

No, thank you.

0:58:330:58:35

Chow mein?

0:58:350:58:37

Momma doesn't like us to eat just before a show.

0:58:370:58:40

Louise, there's something your momma knows I wish you did - I like her.

0:58:400:58:45

Herbie.

0:58:500:58:51

Nothing.

0:58:540:58:55

Tulsa, if you or the boys have any problems, you bring 'em to me. Will you?

0:58:570:59:01

Sure, Herbie.

0:59:010:59:02

You didn't tell him anything, did you?

0:59:060:59:08

I mean, that you're rehearsing a dance team act?

0:59:080:59:10

How'd you know I was working on an act?

0:59:100:59:12

I saw you practising Monday after the matinee, with your broom for a partner.

0:59:120:59:15

-I was up in the flies.

-Louise, please.

0:59:150:59:18

Oh, I won't tell anybody, Tulsa! I'm very secretive.

0:59:180:59:20

Just like you.

0:59:200:59:21

That's what this means here in your palm.

0:59:210:59:25

And this? It means you make up dreams - like me.

0:59:250:59:29

What do you make up dreams about?

0:59:290:59:31

-People.

-Oh, I do that too.

0:59:310:59:33

Yes, but yours are about a partner for your act.

0:59:330:59:36

She's going to be more than a partner, I hope.

0:59:360:59:39

I mean, I dream that one day...

0:59:390:59:43

..well, you know...

0:59:450:59:47

What would she have to be like, Tulsa?

0:59:470:59:51

A wonderful singer and dancer, I guess.

0:59:510:59:53

Oh, no. I'm going to do most of that.

0:59:530:59:56

I don't mean I'm going to hog it all

0:59:560:59:57

but they always look at the girl in a dance team.

0:59:570:59:59

Especially if she's pretty.

0:59:591:00:01

Make-up can help. And costumes.

1:00:011:00:03

I've got the costumes all figured out.

1:00:031:00:06

A blue satin tux for me.

1:00:061:00:08

-With rhinestone lapels.

-You think?

-I'll sew them on.

1:00:081:00:12

Secret?

1:00:121:00:13

Secret.

1:00:151:00:16

OK. I pretend I'm at home getting dressed for a date.

1:00:161:00:21

I take a comb. Comb my hair.

1:00:211:00:25

I take a flower, smell it

1:00:251:00:27

and put it in my lapel.

1:00:271:00:30

Then I spot the audience.

1:00:301:00:32

# Once my clothes were shabby

1:00:321:00:35

# Tailors called me Cabbie

1:00:351:00:38

# So I took a vow said this bum'll be Beau Brummel

1:00:381:00:42

# Now I'm smooth and snappy now my tailor's happy

1:00:421:00:48

# I'm the cat's meow

1:00:481:00:51

# My wardrobe is a wow

1:00:511:00:53

# Paris silk, Harris tweed

1:00:531:00:59

# There's only one thing I need

1:00:591:01:04

# Got my tweed pressed got my best vest

1:01:041:01:09

# All I need now is the girl

1:01:091:01:15

# Got my striped tie got my hopes high

1:01:151:01:20

# Got the time and the place and I got rhythm

1:01:201:01:24

# Now all I need is the girl to go with 'em

1:01:241:01:27

# If she'll just appear

1:01:271:01:31

# We'll take this big town for a whirl

1:01:311:01:37

# And if she'll say "My darling, I'm yours"

1:01:371:01:42

# I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed

1:01:421:01:48

# All I really need is the girl. #

1:01:481:01:53

I start off easy.

1:01:561:01:58

Now I'm more...debonair.

1:02:081:02:11

Break!

1:02:191:02:21

SHE LAUGHS

1:02:211:02:24

And I sell it here. I start this step, see?

1:02:261:02:29

Uh-uh.

1:02:291:02:30

Build it, double it.

1:02:301:02:32

And she appears,

1:02:391:02:41

dressed all in white.

1:02:411:02:44

I take her hand, kiss it...

1:02:441:02:47

..and lead her onto the floor.

1:02:491:02:50

Steps are good for the costume.

1:03:111:03:14

Astaire bit.

1:03:141:03:15

# Yah, dah, dah, dah yah, dah, yah, dah, dah, yah

1:03:191:03:24

# Now we waltz, strings come in... #

1:03:261:03:30

And I lift her...

1:03:401:03:41

..again.

1:03:431:03:44

Once more.

1:03:471:03:48

And the tempo changes...

1:03:591:04:01

..and the lights come up and I build for the finale!

1:04:051:04:08

Louise, come over here!

1:04:091:04:11

That's it! Follow me! SHE SQUEALS

1:04:111:04:15

That's my girl!

1:04:151:04:17

Charleston.

1:04:171:04:18

Hah-hah! Again! Hah-hah, do it again!

1:04:191:04:22

SHE SQUEALS

1:04:251:04:26

APPLAUSE

1:04:301:04:35

Don't lower yourself to argue, Herbie. If those rats want to quit, let them quit.

1:04:541:04:58

If they want their train tickets back, give them their bus tickets back.

1:04:581:05:01

-What's keeping those girls?

-There's plenty of time.

1:05:011:05:04

And you say they're old enough to take care of themselves.

1:05:041:05:06

-Look, fellas, I know we've had a couple of layoffs in the...

-It ain't that, Herbie.

-Then what is it?

1:05:061:05:11

We're too old.

1:05:111:05:12

Would you be too old if Madam Rose and I could see our way clear to increasing your salary?

1:05:121:05:16

-Increase what salary?

-Herbie's been paying us.

1:05:161:05:19

-Moron!

-Herbie.

1:05:191:05:20

-How long is it going to take you to get used to me, Rose?

-Button your coat.

1:05:201:05:24

Ingrates!

1:05:241:05:25

You take the bread out of that man's mouth and spit it in his face!

1:05:251:05:28

Well, as the good Lord says - Good riddance to bad rubbish.

1:05:281:05:32

Give 'em their tickets, Herbie. They were rotten in the act anyway.

1:05:321:05:36

OK.

1:05:361:05:38

Thanks, Herbie. Only we'd like tickets for all the fellows.

1:05:381:05:43

All the fellows?

1:05:431:05:44

Well, they asked us.

1:05:441:05:46

You're all leaving?

1:05:471:05:49

Yes, sir, Herbie.

1:05:491:05:52

Something's funny.

1:05:541:05:55

Something's very funny here.

1:05:571:06:00

Why, Kansas?

1:06:001:06:02

What's this all about?

1:06:021:06:05

OK. If you're all going, you're all going. Just...

1:06:051:06:07

Where've you been? Where's June?

1:06:071:06:10

Louise, where's June?

1:06:101:06:12

Don't give me any of your poems to read. Just answer me!

1:06:121:06:14

June wrote this to you.

1:06:141:06:16

What for? What's she writing me for?

1:06:161:06:18

Momma, read it.

1:06:181:06:19

She eloped.

1:06:321:06:33

She didn't elope, stupid. They got married three weeks ago.

1:06:331:06:36

-Who got married?

-June and Tulsa.

1:06:361:06:38

Only they had to wait till their act was ready before they took off.

1:06:381:06:42

It's a keen act. Ain't it, Louise?

1:06:421:06:45

I've never seen it.

1:06:451:06:48

-We ain't rats, Herbie. We just knew that without June...

-Where'd they go?

1:06:481:06:51

Well, first they got a club date in Kansas City.

1:06:511:06:53

Big mouth! Could we have the tickets now, please, Herbie?

1:06:531:06:57

We gotta get moving. See, we fixed up an act of our own and...

1:06:571:07:00

Here, get moving!

1:07:001:07:01

Don't be sore, Herbie.

1:07:051:07:08

Geez, it ain't our fault the act's all washed up.

1:07:081:07:12

Hey, fellas.

1:07:161:07:17

Good luck.

1:07:201:07:21

Thanks. Herbie, good luck to you.

1:07:211:07:24

Good luck, Louise.

1:07:241:07:25

Good luck.

1:07:251:07:27

Good luck, Madam Rose.

1:07:271:07:28

Come on, LA.

1:07:311:07:33

Rose, honey. Even if we...

1:07:331:07:35

Honey, listen.

1:07:371:07:38

I can go back in the candy business. It's steady - 52 weeks, all year, every year.

1:07:381:07:42

I'll work my fingers to the bone -

1:07:421:07:44

I'll do twice what I did before and that was pretty fair.

1:07:441:07:47

See, I could be district manager and we could stay put in one place.

1:07:471:07:50

Louise could go to school.

1:07:501:07:52

Rose?

1:07:551:07:56

Rose, honey, you still got Herbie.

1:08:001:08:02

You could marry me and I promise you,

1:08:021:08:04

you won't have one single worry for the rest of your life.

1:08:041:08:06

Don't you want that?

1:08:061:08:08

Oh, yes! Oh, Momma, say yes!

1:08:081:08:12

Herbie.

1:08:121:08:13

It's OK.

1:08:171:08:18

You read palms, I read minds.

1:08:201:08:21

Honey, honey, it's going to be fine. Everything happens for the best.

1:08:211:08:26

OK, the act is finished.

1:08:261:08:28

But you and me and our daughter,

1:08:281:08:30

we're going to have a home - say, we even got a cow for the back yard!

1:08:301:08:35

SHE LAUGHS

1:08:351:08:36

Why, we are going to be the best damn family...

1:08:361:08:39

I'm used to people walking out.

1:08:391:08:41

When my own mother did it, I cried for a week.

1:08:431:08:47

Then your father did it, and then the man I married after him did it,

1:08:471:08:52

and now...

1:08:521:08:53

Well, this time, I'm not crying.

1:08:561:09:00

This time, I'm apologising.

1:09:011:09:05

To you.

1:09:071:09:08

I pushed you aside for her.

1:09:091:09:12

I made everything just for her.

1:09:131:09:16

No, Momma.

1:09:161:09:17

And now she says I can't make her the actress that she wants to be.

1:09:171:09:23

The boys walked because they think the act is finished.

1:09:231:09:26

They think we are nothing without her.

1:09:261:09:29

She is nothing without me!

1:09:291:09:33

I'm her mother and I made her!

1:09:331:09:37

And I can make you now!

1:09:371:09:40

And I will, my baby. I swear I will.

1:09:401:09:43

I'm going to make you a star!

1:09:431:09:45

I'm going to build a whole new act - all around you.

1:09:451:09:48

It's going to be better than anything we ever did before.

1:09:481:09:50

-Better than anything we even dreamed.

-Rose. Listen.

1:09:501:09:53

You're right, Herbie! It is for the best!

1:09:531:09:55

Cos that old act was getting stale and tired. But the new one?

1:09:551:09:58

Look, look at the new star, Herbie! She's going to be beautiful!

1:09:581:10:02

She is beautiful!

1:10:021:10:04

Finished?

1:10:041:10:06

We're just beginning -

1:10:061:10:09

and there's no stopping us this time.

1:10:091:10:12

# I had a dream

1:10:141:10:17

# A dream about you, baby

1:10:171:10:22

# It's going to come true, baby

1:10:221:10:26

# They think that we're through

1:10:261:10:30

# But, baby

1:10:301:10:34

# You'll be swell, you'll be great

1:10:341:10:41

# Going to have the whole world on the plate

1:10:411:10:44

# Starting here, starting now

1:10:441:10:48

# Honey, everything's coming up roses

1:10:481:10:54

# Clear the decks, clear the tracks

1:10:541:10:58

# You've got nothing to do but relax

1:10:581:11:01

# Blow a kiss, take a bow

1:11:011:11:05

# Honey everything's coming up roses

1:11:051:11:12

# Now's your inning

1:11:121:11:16

# Stand the world on its ear

1:11:161:11:19

# Set it spinning

1:11:191:11:23

# That'll be just the beginning

1:11:231:11:26

# Curtain up, light the lights

1:11:261:11:29

# You got nothing to hit but the heights

1:11:291:11:33

# You'll be swell, you'll be great

1:11:331:11:36

# I can tell, just you wait

1:11:361:11:40

# That lucky star I talk about is due

1:11:401:11:47

# Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you

1:11:471:11:52

# Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you

1:11:521:11:57

# You can do it

1:11:591:12:04

# All you need is a hand

1:12:041:12:08

# We can do it

1:12:081:12:13

# Mama is going to see to it

1:12:131:12:18

# Curtain up, light the lights

1:12:181:12:20

# We got nothing to hit but the heights

1:12:201:12:24

# I can tell, wait and see

1:12:241:12:27

# There's the bell, follow me

1:12:271:12:31

# And nothing's going to stop us till we're through

1:12:311:12:38

# Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils

1:12:381:12:43

# Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus

1:12:431:12:49

# Everything's going to be bright lights and lollipops

1:12:491:12:55

# Everything's coming up roses for me and for you. #

1:12:551:13:03

# Everything's coming up roses for me and for you. #

APPLAUSE

1:13:091:13:16

-Are you ready, Louise?

-Yes, Momma.

1:13:381:13:40

-Ready, girls?

-Yes, Madam Rose.

1:13:401:13:43

Now don't let the past discourage you.

1:13:431:13:45

Remember - you're artistes of the theatre!

1:14:231:14:25

Presenting,

1:14:251:14:29

in person,

1:14:291:14:31

that five-foot-four bundle of dynamite...

1:14:311:14:35

..Senorita...

1:14:361:14:37

..Louise!

1:14:391:14:40

That's when you come on, Louise - that's when you...

1:14:401:14:43

Ole, everybody! My name's Louise.

1:14:511:14:53

What's yours?

1:14:531:14:55

Well, it's coming along.

1:14:551:14:57

-Momma, I'm just no good at it.

-Oh, don't be silly.

1:14:581:15:00

Come on, let's try the finale.

1:15:001:15:02

If you've a big strong finish they'll forgive you for anything. You...

1:15:021:15:05

You're late! Now, come on, girls, make it stirring.

MUSIC ENDS

1:15:241:15:25

LAUGHTER

1:15:251:15:27

They're tired.

1:15:321:15:33

You better go up the tent, girls, get ready for bed.

1:15:331:15:36

-Goodnight, Madam Rose!

-Night-night, Louise.

-Goodnight, Momma.

1:15:361:15:39

Now, don't forget to write your mothers -

1:15:391:15:42

for money...

1:15:421:15:44

How'd you make out in town?

1:15:441:15:46

Not even a lodge hall.

1:15:461:15:47

They're too damn un-American down here, that's the trouble.

1:15:471:15:50

We'd better talk about heading up north.

1:15:501:15:53

After I tell them that bedtime story.

1:15:531:15:55

Once upon a time there was a prince named Ziegfeld?

1:15:551:15:57

It could happen.

1:15:571:15:59

Anyway, everybody needs something impossible to hope for.

1:15:591:16:02

Rose, why do you make Louise wear that wig in the act?

1:16:021:16:05

Makes her look more like...

1:16:051:16:07

a star.

1:16:071:16:09

And why do we keep the cow?!

1:16:091:16:11

Herbie! If that cow goes, I go.

1:16:111:16:15

LAUGHTER

1:16:151:16:16

The act can be fixed.

1:16:161:16:17

If I was doing this for...

1:16:171:16:19

June, it'd be all set.

1:16:191:16:21

But you're not. And I'm NOT June.

1:16:211:16:24

Louise, nobody expects you to be.

1:16:241:16:26

Momma, I've tried as hard as I could.

1:16:261:16:28

The act's rotten, and I'm rotten in it.

1:16:281:16:30

How do you like that? Typical of a kid.

1:16:301:16:32

-No, I've been waiting to...

-Always impatient.

1:16:321:16:34

A few break-in dates don't go so hot...

1:16:341:16:36

Momma, I am not June, I am not blonde. I can't do what she did.

1:16:361:16:40

She isn't asking you to.

1:16:401:16:41

-Maybe you want to stay in show business...

-Maybe? That is our whole...

1:16:411:16:44

What have we been working for ever since you were a baby?

1:16:441:16:46

That is a foolish remark from a foolish girl.

1:16:461:16:48

I promised my girl she'd be a star, and she will be!

1:16:481:16:51

Maybe I've been on the wrong track with you and the material,

1:16:511:16:55

but as the good Lord says...

1:16:551:16:58

"You gotta take the rough with the smooth."

1:16:581:17:01

And like I always say, you're lucky,

1:17:011:17:03

-because you don't have to take it alone. Right, Herbie?

-Right.

1:17:031:17:07

We got Herbie for brains.

1:17:071:17:10

We got you for talent.

1:17:101:17:11

And you both got me to...yell at.

1:20:251:20:30

Here are the letters, Madam Rose.

1:20:301:20:31

Oh, that's a good girl. Now, go to bed, Agnes.

1:20:311:20:34

Now that I'm an actress...

1:20:341:20:35

it's "Amanda".

1:20:351:20:37

Whatever it is - go to bed.

1:20:381:20:41

Could I ask Herbie a question first?

1:20:411:20:43

Sure.

1:20:431:20:44

Herbie... Do you think we'll ever work again?

1:20:441:20:47

-Course we will!

-I'll get us a booking, Ag...

1:20:471:20:50

..Amanda.

1:20:511:20:53

Thank you...Herbert.

1:20:531:20:55

Louise! Your hair.

1:20:551:20:58

It's yours, if you want it.

1:20:581:20:59

Gee - I always wanted to be a blonde.

1:20:591:21:02

Well, get some peroxide and a toothbrush. Wigs are expensive.

1:21:021:21:05

Yes, ma'am.

1:21:051:21:07

Say, we could get a good refund for this - if we'd ever paid for it.

1:21:071:21:11

How about a gallon of peroxide and a carton of toothbrushes?

1:21:111:21:13

-What for?

-Make 'em ALL blondes.

1:21:131:21:15

I was JOKING, Herbie.

1:21:151:21:17

Why NOT do it?

1:21:171:21:18

Because they're children, Louise.

1:21:181:21:20

They're young girls - with blonde hair they could be young girls.

1:21:201:21:23

It would sure jazz up the act, make it easier to sell -

1:21:231:21:25

we could call it Madam Rose and her Blonde Babies.

1:21:251:21:28

Baby Blondes!

1:21:281:21:29

Nothing with babies.

1:21:291:21:31

-Hollywood Blondes!

-Yeah.

1:21:321:21:35

Oh, but all blonde except you, cos you're the star.

1:21:351:21:37

Well, if I'm the star it should be LOUISE and her Hollywood Blondes.

1:21:371:21:40

ROSE-Louise and her Hollywood Blondes.

1:21:401:21:43

OK!

1:21:431:21:45

-ALL:

-# We go in a group

1:21:451:21:47

# We tour in a troupe

1:21:471:21:49

# We land in the soup, but we know

1:21:491:21:53

# The things we do, we do by threes

1:21:531:21:56

-# A perfect team!

-# No, this way, Louise!

1:21:561:21:58

# Together

1:21:581:21:59

# Together

1:21:591:22:00

# Wherever

1:22:001:22:02

# Wherever

1:22:021:22:03

# Together, wherever we go! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:22:101:22:12

It's a real live theatre.

1:22:251:22:27

MAN: Let in the traveller!

1:22:271:22:28

With a real live stage!

1:22:281:22:30

Oh, Marjorie May -

1:22:301:22:32

we've arrived at last.

1:22:321:22:33

Louise! Louise, look!

1:22:331:22:36

A real live theatre.

1:22:361:22:37

MAN: Kill that flood!

1:22:371:22:39

Ah, it's just like opening day rehearsals USED to be.

1:22:391:22:42

-Oh, Momma's going to love it.

-THEY ALL GIGGLE EXCITEDLY

1:22:421:22:44

-Will you kill that flood! MAN:

-Will you shut your hole!

1:22:441:22:47

She isn't going to love THAT.

1:22:471:22:49

Or that.

1:22:491:22:50

What kind of an act IS that?

1:22:501:22:52

OK, jailbait.

1:22:521:22:54

Now, you must be the Hollywood Blondes.

1:22:541:22:56

-Yes. I'm...

-You're late.

-Well, our car broke down.

-Skip it!

1:22:561:22:59

Some of you dogs can use this dressing room -

1:22:591:23:02

and the rest of you, the one up there.

1:23:021:23:04

Now, this one, you share with Tessie Tura, Texas Twirler.

1:23:041:23:08

-My mother doesn't like...

-The other with Mazeppa, Revolution in Dance.

1:23:081:23:12

Now, shake it up!

1:23:121:23:15

So, er...

1:23:151:23:16

you're the act that's supposed to keep the cops out, huh?

1:23:161:23:19

Boy, you MUST be lousy. LAUGHTER

1:23:191:23:22

He reminds me of my brother!

1:23:221:23:25

Don't start snivelling...Amanda.

1:23:251:23:28

Here, take the cow, and anything else you can carry in there.

1:23:281:23:31

Marjorie May, you take the other girls in the second room

1:23:311:23:33

and start unpacking.

1:23:331:23:35

SHE GASPS

1:23:361:23:37

Oh! Look at this.

1:23:371:23:40

Well, that Tessie Tura must be a VERY fancy lady.

1:23:401:23:44

LAUGHTER

1:23:441:23:45

She must also be a pig!

1:23:471:23:49

-Louise...!

-In here, Momma. Let me help you.

1:23:491:23:52

Oh, baby, we're back in a theatre, we're back in a real theatre!

1:23:521:23:55

-Momma, where's Herbie?

-He went around front to check our billing.

1:23:551:23:58

Good morning!

1:23:581:23:59

Oh, Jesus!

1:23:591:24:01

It ain't weighted right. God dammit!

1:24:011:24:05

It scratches the hell out of me and it just don't bump when I do.

1:24:051:24:09

Maybe there's somethin' wrong with your BUMPER.

1:24:091:24:12

Oh... Big joke.

1:24:121:24:15

I'm out there bumping my brains out with no action at all

1:24:151:24:18

and she's being witty!

1:24:181:24:20

Hey, you with the neck.

1:24:201:24:21

I paid six bucks for that G-string, now back where you found it!

1:24:211:24:25

-Yes, ma'am.

-Get the bags, get the cow, get the props.

1:24:251:24:27

-Now, Momma...

-You don't know what kind of theatre this is.

1:24:271:24:31

Yes, I do, it's a... house of burlesque.

1:24:311:24:33

A house of burlesque... Do you know what that is? Filth!

1:24:331:24:36

I tell you, when Herbie shows his face...

1:24:361:24:38

-I'm sure Herbie didn't know.

-Oh - not much. Agnes...!

1:24:381:24:41

-He got the booking over the telephone.

-Agnes! We were all so happy.

-Agnes, dammit!

1:24:411:24:44

Madam Rose, you know my name is Amanda!

1:24:441:24:46

Your name is Agnes. I want you and the girls out of this hellhole

1:24:461:24:49

-in two seconds flat!

-But Madam...

-March!

-Yes, ma'am.

1:24:491:24:51

You take the front end of the cow, I'll take the rear,

1:24:511:24:53

and the bags we can't carry

1:24:531:24:54

your friend Herbie can damn well carry himself.

1:24:541:24:58

Now, listen to me, Louise.

1:24:581:24:59

Just because you think your friend Herbie can do no wrong...

1:24:591:25:02

This has nothing to do with Herbie...

1:25:021:25:04

You don't know what burlesque is.

1:25:041:25:06

-Yes, I do.

-No. You don't.

1:25:061:25:09

No daughter of mine is going to work in burlesque

1:25:091:25:12

and no daughter of any woman I know.

1:25:121:25:13

Then where ARE we going to work?

1:25:131:25:16

Momma, how much money do we have?

1:25:161:25:18

Including what's left of their allowances, how much?

1:25:181:25:21

-Something'll turn up.

-It HAS turned up, and this is it.

1:25:211:25:24

Momma, we're flat broke, we've got to take this job.

1:25:241:25:28

Even if you wanted to quit and go home, we'd have to take it.

1:25:281:25:32

I had a dream...

1:25:331:25:35

-Oh, Momma...

-Oh, you'll like this one.

1:25:351:25:38

LAUGHTER

1:25:381:25:40

I had it over a week ago but I didn't want to tell.

1:25:401:25:43

I was home, in Seattle,

1:25:431:25:46

and the cow came into my room.

1:25:461:25:49

Only this time she wasn't smiling and dancing,

1:25:491:25:52

she was wheezing and sad-like,

1:25:521:25:55

she came right over to my bed

1:25:551:25:57

and looked at me and said, "Rose...

1:25:571:26:01

"..moo-ve over."

1:26:021:26:05

LAUGHTER

1:26:051:26:06

I'm sorry, Momma...

1:26:061:26:08

Why? She didn't tell YOU to move over!

1:26:081:26:11

I mean I'm sorry I'm not good enough in the act.

1:26:111:26:13

It's the ACT that ain't good enough, baby, or something...

1:26:131:26:16

-HERBIE:

-Rose!

-In here.

1:26:161:26:18

Herbie...!

1:26:181:26:20

Rose... I didn't know, believe me.

1:26:201:26:22

I do, honey. I do.

1:26:221:26:24

Aargh!

1:26:261:26:27

What the hell, it's...

1:26:291:26:31

only two weeks, the money's good

1:26:311:26:33

-and maybe by that time something'll turn up. Right?

-Right.

1:26:331:26:35

-You're a nice girl, Rose, thank you.

-Oh... That's show business.

1:26:351:26:39

-One good thing - I'll bet we got top billing.

-No. We're featured, though.

1:26:391:26:42

-Second?

-Actually, they had us lost in the middle, I thought

1:26:421:26:44

last was better. It says "AND Rose-Louise and the Hollywood Blondes."

1:26:441:26:47

I'm making them put a box around it, they'll use lots of pictures.

1:26:471:26:50

Forget the box, Herbie, forget those pictures.

1:26:501:26:52

-Momma...

-You don't know what they say in the business, but Herbie does.

1:26:521:26:56

They say, when a vaudeville act plays in burlesque

1:26:561:26:59

that means it's all washed up -

1:26:591:27:01

Herbie, nothing's going to turn up for us. Is it?

1:27:011:27:04

No.

1:27:041:27:06

I guess it's a pretty rotten act.

1:27:071:27:09

It ain't the act, honey, I've been telling you - vaudeville's dead.

1:27:091:27:12

Stone-cold dead!

1:27:121:27:13

-Well, we...sure as hell tried.

-Well, we sure as hell did.

1:27:131:27:16

Nobody can say we didn't last right up the very end.

1:27:161:27:19

Well, they sure as hell can't!

1:27:191:27:20

-Right?

-Right.

-Right.

1:27:201:27:22

Well, I...better get the cues ready.

1:27:221:27:24

Herbie...

1:27:241:27:25

How about marryin' me?

1:27:251:27:27

Sure...

1:27:331:27:34

LAUGHTER

1:27:341:27:36

-I love you, you know.

-I know.

1:27:361:27:38

Do it today!

1:27:381:27:39

Not while we're in burlesque!

1:27:391:27:42

The day we close.

1:27:421:27:44

It's a deal.

1:27:441:27:45

Oh, I do, Herbie - I do, I do, I do.

1:27:451:27:48

-So do I, Rose, so do I!

-Hey. Rose-Louise.

1:27:481:27:51

Where the hell are your music and light cues?

1:27:511:27:53

Yeah, I'll be right with you.

1:27:531:27:54

Oh... YOU'RE Rose-Louise.

1:27:541:27:56

Yeah. I'm Rose-Louise.

1:27:561:27:58

Well - things are looking up.

1:27:581:28:00

But I got a show to open, Rose-Louise, so move your ass!

1:28:001:28:03

Listen, you little punk.

1:28:031:28:05

For the next two weeks you're going to speak like a Sunday school

1:28:051:28:08

teacher. You have something in this theatre you've never seen before.

1:28:081:28:11

A lady!

1:28:111:28:13

That...is a lady.

1:28:131:28:16

That...is also a lady.

1:28:161:28:18

Every girl in this damned act is a lady, you understand?

1:28:181:28:21

-Y-Yes, sir.

-Now, get on stage

1:28:211:28:23

-and I'll give you the cues when I'm ready!

-Yes, sir.

1:28:231:28:25

Er... Excuse me. Ma'am.

1:28:251:28:28

Oh, sir?

1:28:301:28:31

Won't you give ME your protection? I'm a lady too!

1:28:311:28:35

Hey, the goddamn thing worked!

1:28:361:28:38

-No, no, no, no...

-Aww.

1:28:381:28:40

Well, if you ladies will excuse me...

1:28:401:28:42

-Yeah, we're very busy.

-In my dressing room.

-YOUR dressing room?

1:28:421:28:45

You're damn right. And I don't like sharing it any more than you do.

1:28:451:28:48

Particularly with a troupe of professional virgins.

1:28:481:28:51

-We are not...

-Oh, all right - so you're acrobats.

1:28:511:28:55

We happen to be headliners from the Orpheum Circuit.

1:28:551:28:57

We were booked into this theatre by mistake.

1:28:571:28:59

Weren't we all?!

1:28:591:29:02

Say... Who made that?

1:29:021:29:04

I did. I make all our costumes.

1:29:041:29:06

Oh, my! Look at all them ladylike little stitches.

1:29:061:29:11

That miserable broad who's been makin' my gowns

1:29:111:29:13

must be using a fish hook.

1:29:131:29:15

What do you pay her?

1:29:151:29:16

25 bucks a gown and I provide the material.

1:29:161:29:19

-30.

-She's new in the business.

-30.

1:29:191:29:21

-Who ARE you, her mother?

-Yes.

1:29:211:29:22

LAUGHTER

1:29:221:29:24

-30. And I'll get the material after the matinee.

-It's a deal.

1:29:241:29:28

Where's your toreador costume?

1:29:281:29:29

The girls must have it in the dressing room...

1:29:291:29:31

God knows what else they got in there!

1:29:311:29:33

-She's your mother?!

-Yes, she's my mother.

1:29:331:29:36

Tessie... I'm short a talking women.

1:29:361:29:38

-Tough titty!

-Aw, Tessie, the new comic won't use a chorus girl.

1:29:381:29:42

Then let them use Mazeppa.

1:29:421:29:44

Everyone else has!

1:29:441:29:46

Now, you know Mazeppa's got a gladiator ballet

1:29:461:29:49

just before his spot.

1:29:491:29:51

Cut the ballet. It stinks anyway.

1:29:511:29:53

Aw, be a sport, I'm in a bind.

1:29:531:29:55

You're always in a bind in this flea-bitten trap!

1:29:551:29:57

I'm a strip woman, slob. I don't do no scenes. Now, screw!

1:29:571:30:02

Have you ever heard of a first-class strip woman playing scenes?

1:30:021:30:05

Well, you play stock in a dump like this, you gotta expect to be insulted.

1:30:051:30:09

-Well, it's steady, ain't it?

-Yeah, but you bring in a new star

1:30:091:30:12

-for each show, don't ya?

-Aw, Tessie, it's just a few lines.

1:30:121:30:14

Fat boy, save your bad breath!

1:30:141:30:16

I'll give you ten bucks extra.

1:30:161:30:19

Nah.

1:30:191:30:21

Excuse me. I can read lines.

1:30:211:30:23

-Who are you?

-Rose Louise, of Rose Louise and her Hollywood Blondes.

1:30:231:30:26

-Wait a minute, what kind of lines?

-You in her act?

1:30:261:30:28

-Not exactly.

-Shut up!

1:30:281:30:29

-How are your legs?

-Great! And I'll learn her the scenes.

1:30:291:30:32

OK! Ten bucks.

1:30:321:30:33

-It's money, Momma.

-What's she going to be saying out there on that stage?

1:30:331:30:36

Same burlesque crap that's been said since the year one.

1:30:361:30:39

Say, where you been all your life?

1:30:391:30:42

Playing vaudeville!

1:30:421:30:43

Where?! The Vatican?!

1:30:431:30:46

LAUGHTER

1:30:461:30:47

You name a big city, we've played it.

1:30:471:30:49

My grandpa says we've covered the country like gypsies.

1:30:491:30:52

Well, you may be a gypsy, Rose Louise... Hey!

1:30:521:30:55

Now, that ain't a bad name, if you ever take up strippin'!

1:30:551:30:57

-She won't.

-No, but you'll let her feed lines to a bum comic

1:30:571:31:00

-for a lousy ten bucks.

-That's training. She's going to be an actress - this is only temporary.

1:31:001:31:04

Soon as we finish here, she goes straight back to vaudeville.

1:31:041:31:08

Vaudeville, my eye. There ain't no vaudeville left except burlesque.

1:31:081:31:12

-We know.

-You know? You better wise her up.

1:31:121:31:13

She's wise! She's a damn sight wiser than any of you!

1:31:131:31:16

Like mother, like daughter. Say, whose feelings did I hurt?

1:31:161:31:21

Yours or hers?

1:31:211:31:23

Neither. We'll both be fine.

1:31:231:31:26

Gee, I hope so,

1:31:261:31:27

because sharing a dressing room is like sleeping together.

1:31:271:31:30

Miss Tura, I'll thank you

1:31:301:31:32

not to give the boss any notion that I would ever play scenes.

1:31:321:31:35

And one more dis-as-paraging remark about my ballet will find

1:31:351:31:40

this bugle right up your...

1:31:401:31:41

Please! There's a lady present!

1:31:411:31:44

-Where?

-Open your eyes instead of your mouth.

1:31:441:31:47

Gypsy, meet Miss Mazeppa - and Miss Electra.

1:31:471:31:51

Say, you're even younger than I was when I began stripping.

1:31:511:31:57

Oh, I'm not going to strip.

1:31:571:32:00

Something wrong with stripping?

1:32:001:32:02

No. I just meant I don't have any talent.

1:32:021:32:06

You think they have?!

1:32:061:32:08

Well, I myself of course was a ballerina.

1:32:101:32:12

But take it from me,

1:32:121:32:13

to be a stripper, all you need to have is no talent.

1:32:131:32:16

You'll pardon me, but to have no talent is not enough.

1:32:161:32:20

What you need to have is an idea that makes your strip special.

-Well, no. She must be packin'. Ain't your act through today?

You bet it is! Through - finished - over!

Hey, I've been looking for you. Here.

1:37:201:37:23

Oh, Herbie, it's like for a funeral!

1:37:231:37:25

It's for the wedding!

1:37:251:37:27

Madame Rose and I want you to be bridesmaid, Amanda.

1:37:271:37:29

No, it's Agnes again.

1:37:291:37:31

You'll be happier as Agnes, Amanda.

1:37:311:37:33

Oh, you're leaving?

1:37:351:37:37

I got to go home and let my hair grow out.

Aw, come here.

1:37:541:37:56

-TESSIE!

-I'm coming, ya creep!

1:37:561:37:58

Why aren't you nervous? I've never been so nervous in my whole life!

1:38:081:38:11

-You've never been married before.

-Your mother's never been married

1:38:111:38:14

before like she's going to be this time. For keeps and forever - to me!

1:38:141:38:17

-Ain't you a little bit nervous!

-Sure.

-Say, does the minister keep

1:38:171:38:20

this? I want to have it framed and hanging on our living room.

1:38:201:38:23

What about this, Momma?

1:38:231:38:25

Take it.

1:38:251:38:26

We can hang her up in the living room, too, Herbie.

1:38:261:38:29

Over the mantelpiece.

1:38:291:38:30

Rose, honey, it ain't that I don't know how you're feeling.

1:38:301:38:33

Or that I don't know I ought to keep my mouth shut.

1:38:331:38:35

I'm so goddam happy, I can't!

1:38:351:38:37

-I don't know why the hell I stay in this business!

-I'm finally getting

1:38:371:38:40

everything I wanted! Even a fancy ceremony with bridesmaids.

1:38:401:38:43

-If it ain't one damn headache, it's another.

-Ssh! They'll hear you out front!

-It's MY theatre!

1:38:431:38:48

Of course, what the minister's going to say

1:38:481:38:50

when he gets a load of all that yellow hair, I don't know.

1:38:501:38:52

But the hell with him!

1:38:521:38:55

Last show, no talking woman. Show before that, no second banana.

1:38:551:38:58

If that crazy broad wasn't here, why did you start the performance?

1:38:581:39:01

She's not on till next to closing,

1:39:011:39:04

and she said she was only goin' next door to the drugstore.

1:39:041:39:07

What'd they arrest her for? Shoplifting?

1:39:071:39:09

-No, soliciting.

-LAUGHTER

1:39:091:39:11

She always was greedy. Cut the spot.

1:39:111:39:14

Honey, do you think we should invite the minister for a drink after?

1:39:141:39:17

But it's the star strip.

1:39:171:39:18

Cut it.

1:39:181:39:19

They'll yell bloody murder

1:39:191:39:21

if it's only the same bags they've been seeing the past eight weeks.

1:39:211:39:24

The star's the novelty!

1:39:241:39:26

What do you want me to do? Let YOU strip?

1:39:261:39:28

-My daughter can do it! Rose Louise!

-Since when?

1:39:281:39:30

Ever since she's been here to see how little there is to it.

1:39:301:39:33

-She didn't look bad in them scenes.

-She'll look great in her own gowns.

1:39:331:39:36

-What's the gimmick?

-She's young. Got any better ideas?

1:39:361:39:40

-Well, she better get ready right damn now.

-It's the star spot.

1:39:401:39:44

You telling me?

1:39:441:39:45

That means the star salary.

1:39:451:39:47

If we keep her.

1:39:471:39:48

You will. She's going to be wonderful!

1:39:481:39:52

I knew something would turn up!

1:39:521:39:54

Where's that dress you were making for Tessie?

1:39:541:39:56

It'll work perfect for you!

1:39:561:39:58

Come on! Come on!

1:39:581:39:59

Get your make-up on, there ain't much time.

1:39:591:40:02

Oh, silly! You're not really going to strip.

1:40:021:40:05

All you'll do is walk around the stage in time to the music

1:40:051:40:07

and drop your shoulder strap at the end.

1:40:071:40:09

You're a lady, like Herbie says you are!

1:40:091:40:11

You just parade so grand, they'll think it's a big favour

1:40:111:40:14

if you even show them your knee!

1:40:141:40:17

Oh, Louise, it's the star spot!

1:40:171:40:20

I always promised my daughter we'd be a star.

1:40:201:40:24

Baby, it's all right to walk out when they want you,

1:40:241:40:28

but you can't walk out now.

1:40:281:40:31

After all these rotten years, we're still a flop, that's quitting!

1:40:311:40:35

We can't quit, because we are a flop!

1:40:351:40:39

DON'T BE LIKE JUNE!

1:40:391:40:42

You...

1:40:431:40:45

do this!

1:40:451:40:46

So we can walk away proud,

1:40:481:40:51

because we made it!

1:40:511:40:53

Maybe only in burlesque and maybe only as second rate,

1:40:531:40:56

but let's walk away a star!

1:40:561:40:59

OK, come on!

1:41:021:41:03

I guess there ain't enough time to finish the dress,

1:41:031:41:06

but we can just pin it... Oh, look, there's some material here,

1:41:061:41:10

we could use that for extra panels.

1:41:101:41:12

Oh, didn't I tell you, you were born lucky?

1:41:121:41:14

So, you can just unpin them and then drop them every once in a while,

1:41:141:41:18

so they'll think you're taking something off.

1:41:181:41:20

Now, not too much make-up, baby.

1:41:201:41:22

Young and girlish!

1:41:221:41:24

Pure. Don't smear that junk all over your face like they do.

1:41:241:41:29

Keep your mouth the way the Lord made it.

1:41:291:41:31

No rouge, no beauty marks.

1:41:311:41:36

No, you be a lady.

1:41:361:41:39

Grand, elegant, with a classy, ladylike walk.

1:41:391:41:44

Shoes, shoes!

1:41:441:41:46

Oh, my God, shoes! Shoes...

1:41:461:41:48

Yeah, come on, these are Tessie's,

1:41:481:41:50

they'll do for this performance, get into them.

1:41:501:41:53

No, no, your hair is wrong, you can't just let it hang like spaghetti!

1:41:531:41:58

Put it back.

1:41:581:41:59

It's got to have class. Fluff it out in front.

1:41:591:42:04

Oh, thank God the Lord gave you good colour

1:42:041:42:06

and that you washed it this morning! LAUGHTER

1:42:061:42:09

Say, you think we should put a couple of feathers in it?

1:42:091:42:11

For the... To put... No, no, that's what they all do.

1:42:111:42:14

Oh, jewellery!

1:42:141:42:15

Yeah... No, no, no jewellery.

1:42:151:42:17

Let Tessie and the others wear all the vulgar junk...

1:42:171:42:19

Is she almost ready? Cos she goes on in five minutes.

1:42:191:42:22

She'll be there, she'll be there. Come on, come on! Get into the dress.

1:42:221:42:26

Whose are these?

1:42:261:42:28

Huh?

1:42:281:42:30

Oh, no, that's...

1:42:301:42:32

that's my wedding present!

1:42:321:42:34

From Tessie. But they would be good for a lady.

1:42:341:42:38

You can wear them. What else?

1:42:381:42:41

Oh, music, music!

1:42:411:42:43

What have we got here? Spanish? No.

1:42:441:42:47

Military? No.

1:42:471:42:49

Cow?

1:42:491:42:50

No. LAUGHTER

1:42:531:42:55

Oh! Say, you could do June's Let Me Entertain You.

1:42:571:43:02

But then, I could mark it

1:43:021:43:04

for the conductor to repeat two choruses, slow.

1:43:041:43:07

And... No, two and a half choruses, slow.

1:43:071:43:10

And sing out, Louise,

1:43:101:43:12

you just walk and dip.

1:43:121:43:16

My girl's a lady.

1:43:161:43:18

You make 'em beg for more!

1:43:181:43:22

And then, don't give it to them.

1:43:221:43:26

Now, anything...

1:43:261:43:27

-Oh, where have you been?! Out front?

-No.

1:43:271:43:30

I got sick to my stomach and threw up.

1:43:301:43:33

Yeah, but you feel better now.

1:43:331:43:34

-No.

-Herbie, I just had to!

1:43:341:43:37

That's why I'm leaving.

1:43:371:43:38

I apologise!

1:43:381:43:40

No.

1:43:401:43:42

Let me, for my resemblance to a mouse...

1:43:421:43:46

No, no, to a worm, the way I've crawled after you,

1:43:461:43:51

well, no more, Rose, I won't!

1:43:511:43:53

I was even going to crawl away from you

1:43:531:43:55

because my stomach started to turn over at the idea

1:43:551:43:57

of coming back here and telling you that we're finished!

1:43:571:43:59

-Tell me after we're married.

-We're never getting married, Rose.

1:43:591:44:02

-We certainly are, first thing in the morning...

-NEVER!

1:44:021:44:05

Not if you got down on your knees and begged!

1:44:051:44:10

Oh, I still love you, but all the vows from here to Doomsday,

1:44:111:44:15

they couldn't make you a wife.

1:44:151:44:18

I want a wife!

1:44:181:44:21

I'm going to be a man if it kills me.

1:44:211:44:23

-Oh, so you're killing me?!

-Nobody can kill you!

1:44:231:44:27

So, what, you're jealous, just like every man I've ever known?

1:44:271:44:32

Jealous because my girls always come first.

1:44:321:44:35

Well, they always did and they always will.

1:44:351:44:37

-Then why did June leave?

-I don't want to hear her name!

1:44:371:44:40

She didn't want the act, any more than Louise wants this.

1:44:401:44:43

-No, Louise does.

-She'll leave like June did.

-Never!

1:44:431:44:46

-She is going to be a star!

-She is going to be a star?

1:44:461:44:49

If it kills you and her,

1:44:491:44:52

she's going to be a star someplace!

1:44:521:44:55

Where are you going to be when she gets married?

1:44:571:44:59

What are you talking about?

1:45:011:45:03

She won't be getting married for years!

1:45:031:45:06

She's a baby!

1:45:061:45:07

-Sure.

-Anyway, her career will always come first.

1:45:071:45:11

That's right. That is right.

1:45:111:45:15

Herbie, why?

1:45:151:45:16

Why does everybody always walk out?

1:45:161:45:20

Maybe...

1:45:231:45:25

Louise won't.

1:45:251:45:27

No, don't!

1:45:281:45:29

Don't!

1:45:341:45:35

Don't leave, Herbie!

1:45:381:45:40

I need you!

1:45:421:45:44

What for?

1:45:441:45:46

A million things.

1:45:491:45:51

Just one would be better.

1:45:551:45:58

Goodbye, honey, you...

1:46:001:46:01

You be a good girl.

1:46:031:46:05

You...

1:46:061:46:09

YOU GO TO HELL!

1:46:091:46:10

Oh, come on!

1:46:121:46:13

Give that music to the conductor,

1:46:131:46:15

and you'd better stand next to me for the lighting cues.

1:46:151:46:18

I sure hope you know what you're doing.

1:46:181:46:20

I'll take this...

1:46:241:46:26

to the conductor.

1:46:261:46:27

Just remember, you're a lady!

1:46:301:46:34

And you are going to be a star!

1:46:341:46:39

-I'm going out first!

-No, let's watch from the wings!

1:47:101:47:13

-What's she going to do?

-She ain't the type!

1:47:131:47:16

-She'll never make it!

-How do you know?

1:47:161:47:18

-She'll quite halfway through!

-I'm scared for her.

1:47:181:47:21

Momma...

1:47:351:47:37

I'm pretty!

1:47:371:47:39

I'm a pretty girl, Momma!

1:47:401:47:42

-You look beautiful.

-Here! For luck, honey!

1:47:471:47:52

Are you nervous?

1:47:521:47:54

What?

1:47:541:47:56

I said, are you nervous, baby?

1:47:561:47:57

No, Mother.

1:47:571:47:59

APPLAUSE

1:48:011:48:03

Wichita's one and only burlesque theatre presents...

1:48:031:48:11

Momma?

1:48:111:48:12

..Miss Gypsy Rose Lee!

1:48:121:48:15

No! It's Louise!

1:48:151:48:18

A glove. Give 'em a glove!

1:50:101:50:12

LAUGHTER

1:50:141:50:16

Say something!

1:50:181:50:21

Hello, everybody.

1:50:211:50:24

My name is Gypsy Rose Lee.

1:50:241:50:28

What's yours, sir?

The Alhambra Theatre of Philadelphia,

1:51:101:51:15

the city of brotherly love,

1:51:151:51:17

brings all you brothers a Liberty Bell you'll want to ring

1:51:171:51:22

and ring and ring.

1:51:221:51:25

# Let me entertain you

1:51:271:51:32

# Let me make you smile... #

1:51:321:51:36

I'm beginning to like this.

1:51:361:51:39

Ooh, I like that. I think I'll do that again.

1:51:391:51:41

My mother - who got me into this business -

1:51:431:51:48

always told me make 'em beg for more.

1:51:481:51:52

And then don't give it to 'em!

1:51:521:51:55

But I'm not my mother.

1:51:561:51:59

MEN LAUGH

1:51:591:52:01

So, if you beg for more,

1:52:031:52:07

I'll give it to you.

1:52:071:52:09

# And we'll have

1:52:091:52:12

The Hope Diamond Burlesque of Detroit presents a dazzling

1:52:161:52:20

new jewel in our glittering crown.

1:52:201:52:23

That shimmering, shattering young star,

1:52:231:52:27

it's Gypsy Rose Lee!

1:52:271:52:29

# Let me do a few tricks

1:52:311:52:34

# Some old and then some new tricks

1:52:341:52:36

# I'm very versatile... #

1:52:361:52:41

Were you waitin', fellas?

1:52:411:52:42

Sorry, I had to have dinner with the Henry Fords.

1:52:421:52:46

God, I couldn't wait to get home and take my clothes off.

1:52:461:52:51

Well...

1:52:541:52:56

I'm home!

1:52:561:52:57

# And we'll have

1:52:581:53:02

# A real good... #

1:53:021:53:04

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

1:53:051:53:09

Minsky's World Famous Broadway Burlesque

1:53:091:53:12

presents the undisputed queen of the striptease,

1:53:121:53:17

the one and only,

1:53:171:53:20

the now and forever incomparable,

1:53:201:53:25

Miss Gypsy Rose Lee in our salute to the Garden of Eden.

1:53:251:53:32

Pack up your apples, girls, and back to the trees.

1:53:501:53:54

Bonsoir, messieurs...

1:53:581:54:01

et messieurs.

1:54:011:54:03

Je m'appelle Gypsy Rose Lee et je suis dans le jardin

1:54:031:54:10

de ma mere, Eve Minsky.

1:54:101:54:14

And that concludes my entire performance...

1:54:141:54:18

in French.

1:54:181:54:20

I've been too busy learning Greek.

1:54:201:54:21

Where were you last night?

1:54:231:54:25

SHE CHUCKLES

1:54:251:54:27

Some men accuse me of being an ecdysiast.

1:54:311:54:35

Do you know what that means?

1:54:351:54:37

Oh, he does.

1:54:401:54:42

Don't be embarrassed. I like men without hair.

1:54:421:54:45

Don't worry, fellas. I know you're up there.

1:54:491:54:52

Up there, you know what ecdysiast means.

1:54:521:54:55

An ecdysiast is one who sheds its skin.

1:54:591:55:03

In vulgar parlance, a stripper.

1:55:031:55:06

But, fellas, at these prices, I'm an ecdysiast.

1:55:061:55:10

# So if you're real good

1:55:131:55:15

# I'll make you feel good

1:55:151:55:18

# I want your spirits to glide

1:55:181:55:24

# So let me entertain you

1:55:241:55:28

# And we'll have a real good time yes, sir

1:55:281:55:34

# We'll have...

1:55:341:55:38

# A real good...

1:55:381:55:41

# Time. #

1:55:411:55:48

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:55:571:55:59

Now, Miss Rose! Miss Rose, did you not see that sign?!

1:56:121:56:16

Sure I saw the sign!

1:56:161:56:18

If I can read the fine print in our contracts,

1:56:181:56:20

I can certainly read letters two feet high.

1:56:201:56:22

"The mother of Miss Gypsy Rose Lee

1:56:221:56:26

"is not allowed backstage at this theatre."

1:56:261:56:29

-You know what I did with that sign?

-Don't.

1:56:291:56:31

I tore it right off the walls,

1:56:311:56:32

spread it out on the floor and let Chowsy III down on it.

1:56:321:56:36

That dog's a trooper, she knew what to do.

1:56:361:56:39

Take more than signs to keep me out of a theatre.

1:56:391:56:42

DOOR CLOSES

1:56:461:56:48

That goes now.

1:56:481:56:49

You need something to remind you

1:56:491:56:51

that your goal was to be a great actress, not a cheap stripper.

1:56:511:56:54

June's the actress, Mother. And I'm not a cheap stripper.

1:56:541:56:58

I'm the highest paid in the business.

1:56:581:57:00

Bring my press agent in as soon as he gets here.

1:57:001:57:02

-Yes, ma'am.

-Thank you.

1:57:021:57:04

Aren't you going to take your bath?

1:57:051:57:07

Yes, Mother.

1:57:071:57:08

-Well, why are you fixing your face?

-A photographer's coming.

1:57:081:57:12

Where's he going to photograph you? In the tub?

1:57:121:57:14

Eventually.

1:57:141:57:16

-Louise!

-It's for Vogue.

1:57:161:57:18

Vogue? I better get out our scrapbooks.

1:57:181:57:20

Phil's taken care of that.

1:57:201:57:22

Phil is a rotten press agent.

1:57:221:57:24

He never tells 'em that we headlined the Orpheum Circuit.

1:57:241:57:27

PHONE RINGS I got it.

1:57:271:57:29

Hello?

1:57:291:57:31

Hello!

1:57:311:57:33

No, it's difficult right now.

1:57:341:57:36

I'm not leaving!

1:57:361:57:38

I'll see you at the party.

1:57:391:57:41

Yes, I promise.

1:57:421:57:43

A bientot.

1:57:441:57:46

A bien what?

1:57:481:57:50

I guess I'm being a little... But, Momma, I love it.

1:57:501:57:54

-All right so who's giving the party?

-Some friends.

1:57:541:57:56

In the old days, I was always invited first.

1:57:581:58:00

I wouldn't go anyway, even if I did have something to wear.

1:58:001:58:02

I got more important things to do,

1:58:021:58:04

like thinking up a new idea for a strip for us.

1:58:041:58:06

Mother, we're still stuck with that wind machine you bought

1:58:061:58:08

to blow my clothes off.

1:58:081:58:10

Actually, I'm putting in a new number on Saturday.

1:58:111:58:15

-What is it?

-You'll see.

1:58:171:58:19

-I'll "see"?

-Let me surprise you.

1:58:191:58:22

Oh! These days, you are just one big surprise after another.

1:58:221:58:26

We better go tomorrow and get the material for the gown.

1:58:261:58:29

I have a French lesson tomorrow.

1:58:291:58:31

-Oh? Well, I'll go alone. Any particular colour...?

-Mother!

1:58:311:58:33

I have already started to make the gown.

1:58:331:58:37

Oh... Well, I better run your bath.

1:58:371:58:39

You don't have to. That's what I've got a maid for.

1:58:391:58:41

-Let me do something, dammit!

-What, Mother?

1:58:411:58:43

A million things. I'm not a baby.

1:58:431:58:45

Neither am I.

1:58:451:58:46

Don't take that tone with me.

1:58:461:58:48

-Your sister used to get that edge to her voice...

-I am not June!

1:58:481:58:50

-No, and you're not Louise...

-And neither are you!

-Oh, yes, I am!

1:58:501:58:54

More than you, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee,

1:58:541:58:56

with your dirty pictures for Vogue.

1:58:561:58:58

-Mother!

-And your maids and your press agents, your fancy friends,

1:58:581:59:02

-your fancy parties.

-They happen to be...

1:59:021:59:03

Your loud-mouth mother ain't invited

1:59:031:59:05

-to those goddamn parties cos they laugh at her!

-They don't.

-They do!

1:59:051:59:08

And don't think I don't know that's one reason

1:59:081:59:10

why you don't want me backstage, so I won't hear 'em laugh.

1:59:101:59:12

Well, it's them that you oughta keep out, not me,

1:59:121:59:14

cos they're laughing at you too!

1:59:141:59:16

You, the burlesque queen,

1:59:161:59:19

who speaks lousy French

1:59:191:59:21

-and reads book reviews like they was books!

-Turn it off, Mother.

1:59:211:59:24

Do you know what you are to them?

1:59:241:59:26

A circus freak.

1:59:261:59:27

This year's novelty act.

1:59:271:59:29

-And when the bill is...

-I said turn it off!

1:59:291:59:32

Nobody laughs at me, because I laugh first! At me!

1:59:321:59:38

Me, from Seattle. Me, with no education.

1:59:381:59:41

Me, with no talent, as you've kept reminding me my whole life.

1:59:411:59:45

Well, look at me now. A star! Look how I live.

1:59:451:59:50

Look at my friends. Look where I'm going.

1:59:501:59:51

I am not staying in burlesque.

1:59:511:59:54

I am moving. Maybe up, maybe down, but wherever it is,

1:59:541:59:58

I am enjoying it.

1:59:581:59:59

Momma, I am having the time of my life

2:00:002:00:04

because for the first time, it is my life.

2:00:042:00:07

And I love it.

2:00:072:00:08

I love every second of it and I'll be damned

2:00:082:00:10

if you're going to take it away from me.

2:00:102:00:13

I AM Gypsy Rose Lee.

2:00:132:00:17

I love her and if you don't, you can clear out right now!

2:00:172:00:21

KNOCK AT DOOR

2:00:222:00:24

Your press agent is here with your photographer.

2:00:262:00:29

Tell him I'll be ready in a minute.

2:00:302:00:32

Momma, we can't go on shouting seven performances of this a week.

2:00:362:00:41

The whole family shouts.

2:00:412:00:42

It comes from living near the railroad.

2:00:422:00:45

Well, I'm getting an ulcer.

2:00:462:00:49

-Oh, you think I'm not?

-Yes, I think you're not

2:00:492:00:51

and if you want an ulcer, Momma, get one of your own.

2:00:512:00:54

You can't have mine.

2:00:542:00:56

Everybody has stomach trouble, but me.

2:00:562:00:59

Mother, you have fought your whole life. I wish...

2:00:592:01:01

You need more mascara on your left eye.

2:01:012:01:03

Momma, you have got to let go of me!

2:01:032:01:06

Let go?

2:01:072:01:08

I'll give you anything you want.

2:01:082:01:10

-You need me.

-A house, a farm, a school...

2:01:102:01:12

A dramatic school for kids? You were always great with kids.

2:01:122:01:14

I'm a pro!

2:01:142:01:16

Not some old work horse you can turn out to pasture

2:01:162:01:19

just cos you think you're riding high on your own!

2:01:192:01:21

Momma, no kid does it on their own but I am not a kid any more.

2:01:212:01:25

From now on, even if I flop,

2:01:252:01:28

I flop on my own!

2:01:282:01:31

-KNOCKING

-Hey, Gyps, what do you say?

2:01:312:01:32

"So long, Rose."

2:01:372:01:39

That's what she says.

2:01:402:01:42

"Don't slam the door as you leave."

2:01:442:01:47

Hi, Rose. Gyps, baby, may I present to you,

2:01:472:01:52

Monsieur Bougeron-Cochon?

2:01:522:01:55

Enchante, Monsieur.

2:01:552:01:57

Enchante.

2:01:572:01:59

-Oh!

-Let's make with the oiseau, kiddies.

2:01:592:02:02

-One before you take the plunge.

-Yes.

2:02:022:02:05

All set? Fine!

2:02:052:02:06

All right, there's just one thing I want to know.

2:02:062:02:09

So all the working

2:02:092:02:11

and the pushing and finagling,

2:02:112:02:12

all the scheming and scrimping, all the lying awake nights

2:02:122:02:16

figuring how we're going to get from one town to the next,

2:02:162:02:18

how do we all eat on a buck,

2:02:182:02:20

how do I make an act out of nothing,

2:02:202:02:22

what'd I do it for?!

2:02:222:02:23

Huh?!

2:02:252:02:27

You say I fought my whole life for your whole life.

2:02:272:02:32

So now tell me.

2:02:322:02:34

What'd I do it for?

2:02:342:02:36

I thought you did it for me...

2:02:392:02:42

Momma.

2:02:422:02:43

-Come on, smile, Gyps.

-Sorry.

2:02:502:02:53

-Show us your talent!

-Yes.

2:02:532:02:55

That's it!

2:02:552:02:56

"I thought you did it for me, Momma."

2:03:102:03:13

"I thought you did it for me, Momma..."

2:03:152:03:18

I thought you made a no-talent ox into a star

2:03:202:03:23

because you like doing things the hard way, Momma.

2:03:232:03:27

And you haven't any talent.

2:03:282:03:31

Not what I call talent.

2:03:332:03:35

Not an ounce of it, Miss Gypsy Rose Lee.

2:03:362:03:40

I made you!

2:03:402:03:42

And you want to know why?

2:03:432:03:45

You want to know why I did it?

2:03:462:03:49

Because I...was born too soon

2:03:502:03:55

and started too late.

2:03:552:03:57

That's why!

2:03:592:04:00

With what I have in me, I could've been better than any of you!

2:04:032:04:09

What I got...

2:04:112:04:13

..in me,

2:04:172:04:20

what I been holding down inside of me...

2:04:202:04:25

..if I ever let it out...

2:04:282:04:29

..there wouldn't be signs big enough!

2:04:322:04:35

There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

2:04:372:04:40

Here she is, boys!

2:04:422:04:44

Here she is, world!

2:04:452:04:48

Here's Rose!

2:04:492:04:51

Curtain up.

2:04:572:04:59

Light the lights.

2:05:012:05:03

Play it, boys.

2:05:052:05:07

# You either got it

2:05:112:05:13

# Or you ain't

2:05:132:05:15

# And, boys, I got it

2:05:152:05:17

# You like it? #

2:05:202:05:22

-MEN:

-Yeah!

2:05:222:05:24

# Well, I got it

2:05:242:05:26

# Some people got it

2:05:292:05:32

# And make it pay

2:05:322:05:34

# Some people can't even

2:05:342:05:36

# Give it away

2:05:362:05:39

# This people's got it

2:05:392:05:41

# And this people's spreading it around

2:05:412:05:47

# You either have it

2:05:472:05:49

# Or you've had it... #

2:05:522:05:54

Hello, everybody.

2:05:592:06:01

My name is Rose.

2:06:012:06:03

What's yours?

2:06:042:06:07

How do you like them eggrolls, Mr Goldstone?!

2:06:072:06:10

# Hold you hats and hallelujah

2:06:102:06:13

# Momma's gonna show it to you

2:06:132:06:16

# Ready or not

2:06:292:06:31

# Here comes Momma

2:06:312:06:34

# Momma's singing out

2:06:342:06:35

# Momma's doin' fine

2:06:352:06:37

# Momma's getting hot

2:06:372:06:39

# Momma's goin' strong

2:06:392:06:41

# Momma's movin' on

2:06:412:06:43

# Momma's all alone

2:06:432:06:45

# Momma doesn't care

2:06:452:06:46

# Momma's letting loose

2:06:462:06:48

# Momma's got the stuff

2:06:482:06:50

# Momma's letting go...

2:06:502:06:51

# Mo...

2:06:542:06:55

# Momma's got the stuff

2:06:582:06:59

# Momma's gotta move

SHE MOUTHS

2:07:252:07:28

# Momma's gotta let go

2:07:402:07:42

# Why did I do it?

2:07:502:07:52

# What did it get me?

2:07:552:07:57

# Scrapbooks full of me in the background

2:07:592:08:03

# Give 'em love and what does it get you?

2:08:052:08:08

# What does it get you?

2:08:082:08:10

# One quick look as each of 'em leaves you

2:08:102:08:13

# All your life and what does it get you?

2:08:152:08:18

# "Thanks a lot" and out with the garbage

2:08:182:08:20

# They take bows while you're battin' zero

2:08:202:08:23

# I had a dream

2:08:262:08:30

# I dreamed it for you, June

2:08:302:08:34

# It wasn't for me, Herbie,

2:08:352:08:40

# And if it wasn't for me

2:08:402:08:43

# Then where would you be Miss Gypsy Rose Lee?

2:08:432:08:51

# Well, someone tell me

2:08:512:08:53

# When is it my turn?

2:08:532:08:54

# Don't I get a dream for myself?

2:08:542:08:57

# Startin' now is gonna be my turn

2:08:572:08:59

# Gangway, world get off of my runway

2:08:592:09:01

# Startin' now I bat a thousand

# This time, boys I'm takin' the bows and...

2:09:042:09:08

# Everything's comin' up Rose

2:09:102:09:14

# Everything's comin' up roses

# Everything's comin' up roses this time for me

SHE CLAPS

2:10:402:10:43

You really would have been something, Mother.

2:10:432:10:45

You think so?

2:10:492:10:51

If you had had someone to push you like I had...

2:10:512:10:54

If I could've been, I would've been.

2:10:562:11:01

And that's...

2:11:032:11:04

..show business.

2:11:052:11:07

I guess I did do it for me.

2:11:112:11:14

Why, Mother?

2:11:162:11:18

I just wanted to be noticed.

2:11:222:11:23

Like I wanted you to notice me.

2:11:262:11:29

It's OK, Momma.

2:11:402:11:43

SHE WAILS

2:11:452:11:48

It's OK, Rose.

2:11:572:12:00

SHE CRIES

2:12:022:12:04

You look like you should speak French.

2:12:182:12:21

LAUGHTER

2:12:212:12:23

You're coming to that party with me. Come on.

2:12:232:12:27

What, like this?

2:12:272:12:28

Wear my stole.

2:12:282:12:31

I have another in the box office.

2:12:312:12:33

Maybe just for an hour or two.

2:12:392:12:41

LAUGHTER

2:12:412:12:44

Looks better on me than it does on you.

2:12:502:12:52

Funny how we can both wear the same size.

2:12:532:12:57

Especially in sable.

2:12:572:12:59

You know, I had a dream last night.

2:13:032:13:06

It was a big poster of a mother and daughter,

2:13:072:13:12

like the cover of that ladies' magazine.

2:13:122:13:15

-Yes, Mother?

-Only it was you and me,

2:13:152:13:18

wearing exactly the same gown.

2:13:182:13:21

It was an ad for Minsky, and the headline said...

2:13:212:13:26

Madam Rose...

2:13:282:13:31

..and her daughter, Gypsy.
