0:03:43 > 0:03:45- PM.- Oh, thank you.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Are you engaged in this household to call time signals?

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Oh, Byngham.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Yes, sir.- Er...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Would you say I was inebriated last night?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Oh, no, sir. Although you had Whiffin cook you six pancakes
0:04:17 > 0:04:22- and you spent an hour trying to play them on the Victrola.- Hmm.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24How did they sound?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Much better after you put the syrup on.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Although I wouldn't say you were inebriated.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- HE MUTTERS - Go and tell my valet to come into my room at once.- Yes, sir.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41O'Brien.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- O'Brien.- Yeah, what do you want?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Mr Drake wants to see you in his room.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54Oh, tell the old f... # ..folks that I'm coming and they will sit all night... #
0:04:54 > 0:05:00- Morning, boss.- Morning. - I found an unopened letter in your evening clothes, sir.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- It arrived about four weeks ago. - Are you trying to rush me into reading it?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- I say, intruding on the man's leisure.- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I don't want to be unpleasant, Byngham
0:05:11 > 0:05:13but SCRAM out... Ohhh.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16There, sir.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- What's this?- It's a letter. Byngham put it there.- Oh, yeah.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Somebody should read it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Well, what do you think of that?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- This is the end. - What does the letter say, sir?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Read it yourself.- Yes, sir.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47"Having failed to fulfil your many promises
0:05:47 > 0:05:50"to make payments on your obligation,
0:05:50 > 0:05:56"...the bank has instituted foreclosure proceedings on your property.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00"You will have approximately 60 days to vacate the premises.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02"Yours very...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- "Yours very..."- Cordially.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Oh, yeah. "..cordially,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09"the National Bank of Manhattan."
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- You have 30 days left, what will you do?- Do?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I'll show you what I'm going to do.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20INTERCOM BUZZES Hello.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Listen, Whiffin, I want you to whiff up...
0:06:23 > 0:06:28whip up, a super supper for - let me see - eight guests.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Yes. Make it a gastronomical masterpiece.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Yes, sir.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Who's coming? - Just get my evening clothes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- You'd better invite the man who wrote the letter.- Yeah, I...
0:06:41 > 0:06:47- Shoot the soup. I'm draping the droop on the galoop. - Are the guests paying?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Don't be mercenary. - I'm not, I'm broke.- We all are.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56- I haven't cooked so much since Mr Drake's wife left. - Maybe that's why she left. Hey!
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Are you boiling that beret? - I'm giving it a wash and polish.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03It needs a change of oil, too.
0:07:04 > 0:07:10- Do you know why the staff hasn't been paid for seven months? - Just an oversight, I suppose.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13The piano business hasn't been good lately.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- It's been bad since he fell heir to it.- Hmm.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- A lack of salary is awkward but we all love Mr Drake so. - He loves you all so.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Hi, Mill.- Hi, Michael. - Ready with the pumps? Hello, cute and adolescent.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- I've finished adolescing. - Don't rush it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Yeah, ageing takes time. Shut up, junior.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36She's only three days older than me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- How's your biography coming on, Marty?- Swell.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45 I found that the Drakes built their original house right here in 1622.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48< They didn't come on the Mayflower, they met it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54And the original Drake harpsichord still exists. It's hidden in this very house.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Millie!- Now what have you done?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Oh, I didn't mean to. - I'll fix it. Hand me the flour.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Not much damage. - Not much shirt.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- After 20 years in this house. - Anybody can make a mistake.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- She's nobody. - And she wants to go to the Butlers' Ball.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- The Butlers' Ball?! - Some day I will.- Sure you will.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But it's a very dignified event in New York.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Soon there won't be enough butlers to throw a ball. Here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Thank you, Michael.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31You're wonderful.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm quite popular with myself, too.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38It's what comes when a club singer turns valet. Back to work.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Go to the laundry and bring up some bath towels
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- without mutilating them. - Yes, sir.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That's the trouble with a scullery maid... Ow!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I know how I feel. How do I look?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- Good enough to be buried.- What?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I mean that as a compliment.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Miss Sandy Brooks. - Sandy! What brings you here?
0:09:01 > 0:09:0430 bucks a week, with room and board.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0730...? Oh, yeah. It all comes back to me now.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Usually does. - Mr Drake, you remember Sandy,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- my vaudeville partner.- Hello.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17She's... Oh, yes, I haven't see you in a long time.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Not since you engaged me last night.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I engaged you?- Yes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- As social secretary.- Remember?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28You were a little stiff.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Sir, the gastronomical masterpiece is ready
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- but there are no guests. - Never mind that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Will you join us?- Delighted.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Mr Drake. - THEY ALL GASP
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Evening, everybody.- ALL: Evening.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01- Mr Drake, if... - Calm down, Byngy. This is Miss Sandy, our social secretary.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- How do you do?- Did I ask you to prepare dinner for eight?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Right. One, two, three, five, eight.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- You are my guests.- You want to dine with us?- No, I want YOU
0:10:12 > 0:10:15to dine with ME. Go in and find your places.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Yes, sir. As you wish.- I wish.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20If I'd known, I'd have changed my dress.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23If I'D known, I'd have washed the tomatoes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Millie, you will serve.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Start with sherry.- Yes, sir.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Now, everybody sit down.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- Including me. - SANDY: It's a democratic household.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39You're going to love it here.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44I propose a cheer to Mr Drake, to whom we owe so much - and vice versa.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45ALL: Hooray!
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Hooray!
0:10:47 > 0:10:52This is a dramatic moment. I don't remember when I've been as touched.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54It was seven months ago.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Yes, I...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I see what you mean.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I want you to know that over 300 years ago,
0:11:01 > 0:11:06the Drake family established themselves on this very site.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10As you know, the family prospered and amassed a great fortune.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It ran into a ridiculous figure.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18All went well until 1941 when, unfortunately, a catastrophe occurred.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20What has happened?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I have been picked clean by buzzards.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I have vultures in my investments.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And today my creditors discredited me.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32That... Oh, that was my end.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38- And he's flat on it. - Don't be down in the dumps. It ain't bad as dumps go.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- And it goes in 30 days.- ALL: What?!
0:11:40 > 0:11:42This is the RICH Mr Drake(?)
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- Now known as that shlemiel. - < Mr Drake,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48this is very sad but not unexpected.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52You needed the steady influence of your wife and daughter.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I didn't know you had a daughter. - < Oh, yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Pamela lives with her mother. Mrs Drake ran off with a man...
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Whiffin, do not discuss my family.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Ohh!
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Wait, Byngham. She hasn't been paid for seven months.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11She can drop noodle soup on her own time.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm sorry. Thank you, Michael.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Just a moment. Why isn't she sitting down with us?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19She can't, she has a low seniority.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22She has? I didn't notice that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25She is the servants' servant.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Snobs, eh? Well, dear, you take my seat and I'll serve.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I couldn't, sir.- Of course you can.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Take the head of the table. Sit down. That's it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Thank you, sir.- That's all right.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- You remind me of my father.- Really?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Just before he died.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48That gives me a great idea. It solves our problems. He had a daughter
0:12:48 > 0:12:50and if that daughter was here now,
0:12:50 > 0:12:55she'd be a debutante and be able to marry a rich guy and we'd all get paid.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So we take a dame. That's our bait.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02We sugar her with swell clothes and call her Pamela Drake,
0:13:02 > 0:13:08- the daughter of Cyrus Drake, the piano tycoon. - It's costly to launch a debutante.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- We can help, we have a 5th Avenue mansion. - Yes, for 30 days(!)
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Katherine Keating's coming out.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Who cares? I was in show business.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20We'll build our deb up with publicity.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24It sounds plausible. I don't overlook a good investment.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Yeah, Mom's got dough. We...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- We need a girl to play the part. - I am at your disposal.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33OK, you're disposed of.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Mr Drake,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- is Millie like your daughter? - ALL: Millie?!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- I'm not like anyone.- You are.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44We struck a gold mine. Sandy, you can help us polish Millie.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- I don't want to be polished. - < Nevertheless, sister,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50you're a debutante.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51I don't like it.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You'll have the time of your life.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And, besides, you'll be rich.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Wait. Maybe she HAS a guy. Have you?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Have you?
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Well...- Uh-oh.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06SANDY: Is he in love with you?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I don't think so.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Who is he?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, he's um...
0:14:14 > 0:14:17He sings to me from his window across the way.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I er...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22We just wave at each other... like that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27I guess you can't get into any trouble just waving.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Millie, do you want to go to the Butlers' Ball?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- More than anything else in the world.- You're going.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Not only that, she can sponsor it.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Byng, you can fix that. - Well, er...perhaps.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Will you do it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- MAID: You'll have a big house. WHIFFIN: And a limousine. - What do you say?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Yes.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ALL: Hooray!- The first corporation meeting will be tomorrow.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58We all share equally in Millie Incorporated.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Now, may I present Miss Pamela Drake?

0:17:10 > 0:17:13# I'll drink Pluto with the plutocrats
0:17:13 > 0:17:15# Swimming in hi-balls
0:17:15 > 0:17:17# Stewed to the eyeballs
0:17:17 > 0:17:19# Disgustingly rich
0:17:19 > 0:17:22# We can dig the spots with the jitterbug snare
0:17:22 > 0:17:25# Park our chewing gum on the seats of the mayor
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# We won't be civil, nasty as the devil
0:17:28 > 0:17:30# Just disgustingly rich
0:17:30 > 0:17:32What about me?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35# You will rocket like a ball of fire
0:17:35 > 0:17:38# Higher and higher and higher and higher
0:17:38 > 0:17:41# You must be pale as a ghost
0:17:41 > 0:17:43# And always rude to your host
0:17:43 > 0:17:46# And forget Miss Emily Post
0:17:46 > 0:17:50# For today, you're a debutante
0:17:50 > 0:17:53# Then I will fly about town and meet some guy about town
0:17:53 > 0:17:55# Who's worth a million in glamour and swank
0:17:55 > 0:17:58# When he says: Will you be mine?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02# Before you give him the sign, be sure he's got it in the bank
0:18:02 > 0:18:05# The world is mine to bewitch
0:18:05 > 0:18:08# So get right in there and pitch
0:18:08 > 0:18:11# Three cheers, we're gonna be rich
0:18:11 > 0:18:20# Too, too disgustingly rich. #
0:18:22 > 0:18:25WOMAN: There. It is finished.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27MAN: Exquisite. WOMAN: I am stunned.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- So am I. - She is beautiful.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Am I really? - Even I'D be beautiful in that.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35OK, chum. Here's your money.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39- Thank you for paying in cash. It's quite unusual for me. - Me, too.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Come along, Rita.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45It's wonderful what clothes can do for a girl.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- It's wonderful what a girl can do for clothes. - Let's get to work.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Oscar, carry these boxes upstairs. Yes, m'm.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58OSCAR: That sure is a transformation, Millie.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- What's that?- A book.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- I can't read it that way. - It's for learning how to walk.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- I CAN walk. - That's what YOU think. Watch me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12You see, a debutante has to do the society slink.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Like this.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Sort of sneers with her feet. - All right.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Sneer with my feet?- Right.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Sneer.- Slink.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Sneer.- Slink.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33The book is too light. Try Gone With The Wind.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- My feet hurt. - You've got to get it.- Try this one.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Oscar, play some walk music. - Walk music?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- Nobody walks when- I- play. > - Play it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45And we'll go over that lesson again.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- OK. Oscar, go.- HE PLAYS JAZZ PIANO What's your name?- Millie.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- BOTH: What?!- Pamela. - Where are you from?- Switzerland.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- What's your father's name? - He's dead.- BOTH: What?!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- Mr Drake.- Good. What are you going to be?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Sick.- Oh, brother.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Michael, please. I'll try again.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07All right. Here we go.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- What are you going to be? - Debutante number one.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- Who's Katherine Keating? - The girl I have to lick.- Good!
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, dear, that settles it.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- Did the publicity break?- Like a cloudburst, and all over me. Look!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Who's that?- Millie.- Oh.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Millie?!- It's great. It says your daughter arrived.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34It also says my wife Emily arrived.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37A daughter we can do but half the town knew my wife.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40So what? That's easy. Sandy can be Mrs Drake.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43They know what she looks like.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46After 15 years of wear and tear? She's a natural.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- Meet your husband.- How do you do?
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Only within the corporation. - We'll vote on it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56- Millie, meet your mother. - How can she be my mother?
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- She's never met my father. - Television.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00What'll they wear next?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05You know, Millie.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09You know, it's dangerous for a girl to be as attractive as you are.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Oh, Michael.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15I'm too happy to talk and I'm too excited to keep quiet.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Shall we sit down?- Yes, Michael.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I must warn you about something. - What?- Wolves.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- In New York?- Packs of them.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They'll be howling after you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The higher-bracket wolves have sharper claws.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- First, there's the creepy wolf. - Is he dangerous?
0:21:33 > 0:21:37He's no vegetarian. He puts his arms round you,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39presumably to fix your collar,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43and softly and slowly his hands rest on your shoulders.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45His paws just stay there?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48No, no, they keep going down, down.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50"Pretty soft touch," he thinks.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- He wants to see if I am tender? - Hmm?!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Michael, how do I make a man BE a wolf?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Oh, well, you...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Why? - You want me to get a rich husband.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Oh, Millie, you're just bait.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07If you put bait on a hook, you don't expect it to do that.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Will I know if I meet the right man? - You'll know.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14You'll look at some guy and he'll look at you
0:22:14 > 0:22:17and you'll look at each other. It just clicks.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20What clicks?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Your blood fizzes like ginger ale. You're walking on air.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- Your heart pumps noises into your head.- Clicking noises?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Yes.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Tell me more.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Another type of wolf is the hand-kisser.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40He'll admire your hand: "What a lovely hand."
0:22:40 > 0:22:44He starts kissing and then he nibbles, like it's spare ribs.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52We're playing a game.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- He's a wolf and I'm pretty soft. - Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Um... er...I was showing her a few things I picked up.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03From the things you picked up.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- That's it... - DOOR BELL RINGS
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Mickey, tell the man at the door to come back in 60 days.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13We'll be put out in 30 days.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15That's the point. Oh. All right.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19What about the woman? < Tell her the same.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Yeah? Good morning, I'm Frank Sinatra.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27What?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Just a moment, please.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Don't you feel well? Oh, I...
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I feel wonderful.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Well, shall we pull ourselves together?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Did you come to see me? No. I came to see
0:23:43 > 0:23:45the young lady that waves like that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Oh.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The one who waves like that?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Mm-hm.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53She's in here. Come on.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58It's for you. His name is Sinatra.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- How do you do?- How do you do?- Hello.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- I brought you flowers.- For me? - And a new song.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Oh, thank you. - Sweet(!)
0:24:07 > 0:24:11You haven't been waving lately. I thought you were ill.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Oh, no, I feel swell.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17We know each other from across the courtyard.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- So it's you.- It's indecent. How would your father feel?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Am I doing wrong? - You're not doing bad.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- May I ask your name? - It's Millie... - < It's a nickname.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Her real name is Pamela Drake. - Of THE Drakes.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Oh, I'm sorry. It's rather silly.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I thought Miss Drake was a member of staff.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I apologise. BOTH: The staff accept your apology.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Is there something wrong with your head?
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Oh, no. I'm just learning to walk.
0:24:45 > 0:24:51- It's a delayed case. - She's preparing for her debut at the Butlers' Ball.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Oh, I'm singing at the Ball. Our chambermaid asked me.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56You mean...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- GENTEEL ACCENT:- Oh, how very nice.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Is this a love song?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- No, it's a torch ballad. - Oh, a hot tune, ain't it?
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Ain't it?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Won't you please sing it for me now? Oscar will play.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Well, I...- You see, Pamela...
0:25:11 > 0:25:17- Don't mind Michael. He's only the valet here.- Yes, I'm only the...
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Oscar, would you play this for my...friend?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23For your friend I'll play it extra well.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25He may sing us out of a fortune.
0:25:32 > 0:25:39# I couldn't sleep a wink last night
0:25:39 > 0:25:45# Because we had that silly fight
0:25:46 > 0:25:49# I thought my heart would break
0:25:49 > 0:25:53# The whole night through
0:25:53 > 0:25:56# I knew that you'd be sorry
0:25:56 > 0:26:00# And I'm sorry, too
0:26:00 > 0:26:07# I didn't have my favourite dream
0:26:07 > 0:26:12# The one in which I hold you tight
0:26:14 > 0:26:19# I had to call you up this morning
0:26:19 > 0:26:25# To see if everything was still all right
0:26:25 > 0:26:27# Yes
0:26:27 > 0:26:34# I had to call you up this morning
0:26:34 > 0:26:40# Cos I couldn't sleep a wink last night
0:26:41 > 0:26:47# I didn't have my favourite dream
0:26:48 > 0:26:53# The one in which I hold you tight
0:26:54 > 0:27:00# I had to call you up this morning
0:27:00 > 0:27:06# To see if everything was still all right
0:27:06 > 0:27:08# Yes
0:27:08 > 0:27:14# I had to call you up this morning
0:27:15 > 0:27:26# Cos I couldn't sleep a wink last night. #
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- That's beautiful.- Thank you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I think it's fine, too. Thank you, too.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36That was great. See you at the Butlers' Ball.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Maybe I'll sing for you. That'll be peachy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- I'll see my friend out.- So long.
0:27:43 > 0:27:50Mrs Keating and Miss Keating. Hello. I'm Mrs Keating, this is my daughter Katherine.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52How do you do? < FRANK: How do you do?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'm an old friend of Mrs Drake.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I'm a stranger here myself.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59This is Miss Drake. Goodbye.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- Don't work too hard. - I don't since we got the new vacuum cleaner.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05< Goodbye.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Goodbye. Goodbye.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- So you're Pamela.- Mmm-hmm. - Well, well, well.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14So your mother and father are making up.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19I never believed those rumours about him. You remember Katherine?
0:28:19 > 0:28:25- Don't you?- Well, I er... - When you were tiny you used to scratch each other.- Did we?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Mother, please. And now you're rival debutantes.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Tell me, darling. How did you leave dear, wonderful Lucerne?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Oh, er...
0:28:35 > 0:28:37She's quite well, thank you.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Mother meant Lucerne, Switzerland. - Oh, I don't know her at all.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44She don't.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Do excuse Miss Drake. She's very tired -
0:28:47 > 0:28:51trying on gowns, posing for pictures. You know.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- You go and get changed. - All right, Mother.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58She always calls me Mother. They all do. I mother them so.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01Sandy, who was singing in here? Bing Crosby?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Bing bang Sinatra.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Well, he'll never get anyplace. Ohhh! Oh...
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- Cyrus, aren't you going to speak? - Of cour... Of cour...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Of course, dear. How are you? - Don't you remember me?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18How could I forget a face like yours? So well preserved.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23- Have you seen Pamela? Oh, hello.- Hello, Mr Drake. - HE GIGGLES NERVOUSLY
0:29:23 > 0:29:29She always calls me MISTER Drake. So respectful, don't you think? Er...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Oh, yes. Come along, darling. - Good afternoon.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Shall we sit down? Who's this?
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- That's my daughter Katherine. - Oh, little K-K-Kathy. Yes.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45- Do sit down. What brings you here, Georgia?- Today's paper.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Today's paper?
0:29:47 > 0:29:52We read about Emily and Pamela and came right over. And another thing -
0:29:52 > 0:29:56Katherine hoped to be this season's debutante
0:29:56 > 0:30:01and I wondered if you'd mind waiting until next year to bring Pamela out.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05We couldn't do that. I'll tell you why. Could we?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07BOTH: No!
0:30:07 > 0:30:10May I present my secretary and my secretary.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13We just must bring Pamela out this year.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- I'd better have a word with Emily. - Yes, do that.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- No, please.- Where is she? - She's under the weather.- Really?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- She's got it. She's had it for some time.- Ohh.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Can't get rid of it. - SHE TUTS
0:30:26 > 0:30:31Mr Drake, the committee agrees. Pamela can sponsor the Butlers' Ball.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- The Butlers' Ball?!- Oh, yes.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- All right, Byngham. - I'll speak to Emily later.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40SHE SINGS TO HERSELF
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Oh, Mrs Keating. Are you leaving? - I'm afraid we must.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Oh, too bad. Do come and see us again.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01- Thank you. - If you're not busy on Friday, do come to my party.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- And bring her.- I er...
0:31:03 > 0:31:06If it's at all possible. Thank you. Thank you.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Goodbye.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Oh! It's formal.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Good evening. Welcome to the 37th annual Butlers' Ball.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30The committee extends its thanks to members, generous patrons
0:31:30 > 0:31:35and our honoured sponsor - a charming and beautiful young lady.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40A member of a distinguished family. A favourite for number one debutante -
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Miss Katherine Keating. APPLAUSE
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It is a privilege to be here this evening.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I'm honoured to be chosen as your sponsor.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Thank you.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08(Psst. Hey, Byngham.)
0:32:08 > 0:32:11HE MOUTHS
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Mr Speaker, you've made a mistake.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19How did that Keating dame pull that off?
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- I guess she's got a better butler. - And he probably gets paid.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Ladies and gentlemen, we have two sponsors.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36The second is also charming and gracious and a member of a distinguished family.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40A close rival for number one debutante - Miss Pamela Drake.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Your speech. Make your speech.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Ladies and...
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Ladies and gentlemen,...
0:33:07 > 0:33:09this is a very gr...
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Oh. This is...very...great...
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- LAUGHTER - ..evening...
0:33:16 > 0:33:18It's gone.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20(Say something.)
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Well, anyway...
0:33:22 > 0:33:28All... All my life I've dreamed of attending the Butlers' Ball.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30And just think...
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Here I am.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34POLITE LAUGHTER
0:33:35 > 0:33:40I'm so happy. I can't believe it's poor little me.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43I wouldn't be surprised to wake up in the morning
0:33:43 > 0:33:45and find I had been dreaming,

0:35:07 > 0:35:11Would our two beautiful sponsors step down to the floor
0:35:11 > 0:35:14to receive a small token from our committee?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Oh, Mike, I'm frightened.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22It's all right. Remember to sneer with your feet.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59May I present Sir Victor Fitzroy Victor, KB, OBE?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05KB, OBE? He sounds like a radio station.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Yes, but it has a nice ring to it.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- Hmm, like a cash register. - Maybe we can tap it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14You mean he might be a likely prospect for Millie?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16A capital candidate.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Well,...as chairman of the corporation
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I shall give him consideration.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11I'm walking on air.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15And I'm hearing strange noises.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19SHE CLICKS HER FINGERS
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- What's that? - Doesn't it mean anything to you?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Sounds like a cricket.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- It's a click.- All right. Put it away. You can play with it at home.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Mr Sinatra has lovely round notes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38But they're not negotiable.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- You have to keep your mind on Sir Victor.- Sir Victor?- Yes.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Miss Drake is a graceful dancer. - Yes.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50He isn't half bad. I'm sure the corporation will OK him.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- For what?- For your husband.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55He's wealthy and he has a swell title.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57He's not MY idea of a husband.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- He's satisfactory to the corporation.- Don't- I- have a say?
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Sure, sure. You say yes when we tell you to.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Here he comes now. Try to make an impression on him.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20He's smiling. You've impressed him.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- Are the Drakes people of means? - Oh, I guess they have money.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- I'm going to suggest that we change partners.- Oh, no.- Why not?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33I don't know how to dance with foreigners.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Here he comes.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44We'll stall till he catches up to us and then I'll ask him.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52- What's wrong? - I seem to be shorter on one side.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55You dance like you're on a hill.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- What step is that? - Maybe it's housemaid's knee.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- Stop it, will you? - Michael, I can't help it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Well, that's a strange dance she's doing.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10LAUGHTER
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Stop. Think of the corporation.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Mr Drake is looking at us. Pull yourself together.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Yeah. That's better.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Say, are you getting smaller?
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- I lost my shoes.- What?!
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Oh, well, he can't see them.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Michael, I don't want to dance with anyone else but you tonight.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45Don't be silly. You've got to dance with the millionaire.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47No, no, no, no, no!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Hey! Your hair. Your hair is coming down.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Fix your hair. Fi... Come on. Ohh.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Look, he's looking.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Fix it up, dear, that's it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05That must be the American Indian dance I've heard so much about.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Haven't you any more hairpins?
0:43:08 > 0:43:11No, let it go. I often wear it that way.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Millie's falling apart.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15So's Mom's bankroll.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19Sir Victor is behind us. I'm going to ask him.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Oh, can't we dance around just once more?
0:43:22 > 0:43:24No, no. This is business.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34LAUGHTER
0:43:35 > 0:43:36My dress!
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Thank you, Sir Victor.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53- I hope you don't mind.- Not at all.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56Well, Miss Drake, we seem to be left alone.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58Shall we?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15SHE SINGS TO HERSELF
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- COCKNEY ACCENT: - Last night was wonderful.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22Everyone was there, even Mrs Vanderwater's butler.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24Wasn't Pamela Drake a panic?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27She was better than the entertainers.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30And, you know, she looked just like a kitchen maid
0:44:30 > 0:44:34I used to work with over in Long Island.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38- Ah, look at her now. - Sarah, the ball is over.
0:44:38 > 0:44:43- Yes, ma'am. - One picture of me, ten of her. In this one she's shaking hands
0:44:43 > 0:44:46with a waiter. Here she is applauding herself.
0:44:46 > 0:44:50If you ask me, Mr Drake bought up every editor in town.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54You'd have got more pictures if you'd dropped your girdle.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Oh, Mother, I don't understand this.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Pamela Drake arrives in town,
0:44:59 > 0:45:04unheralded and unheard of and becomes a social sensation.
0:45:04 > 0:45:07Katherine, I don't think she IS Pamela Drake.
0:45:07 > 0:45:09What?! We'll find out on Friday.
0:45:09 > 0:45:13Mother, you're not going to that party of hers.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15We certainly are...now.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19She's probably got morning jitters.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- The newspaper notices will cure her. - Uh-oh.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26- Has she scrammed? - I don't know. Look in there.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29- Yes?- No.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32She probably didn't sleep a wink.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Hey, Mike.
0:45:36 > 0:45:37Millie!
0:45:37 > 0:45:39What are you doing there?
0:45:39 > 0:45:43- It's Wednesday. - What's that got to do with it?
0:45:43 > 0:45:45I always scrub the steps on Wednesday.
0:45:45 > 0:45:50- Great - a photo of Pamela Drake cleaning the stoop(!)- Come in.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Some debutante.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59- Good morning.- Hello. - Are you getting your exercise?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02No, just scrubbing the steps.
0:46:02 > 0:46:08- I came to congratulate you. You were wonderful last night. - I thought I was, too.
0:46:08 > 0:46:10Say, what's the idea...? Oh!
0:46:10 > 0:46:16- You only have to do that for the photographers. - The things those papers think up.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19- I didn't know... - She's so forgettable.
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- I brought you flowers.- That's swell.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25- She means it's nice. - Where do you get these flowers?
0:46:25 > 0:46:30- My old man owns a flower shop. - That's nice, too. Come on, Pamela.
0:46:30 > 0:46:33You have a lot of cheques to sign.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36- Play with your pail later. - She's off to the beach.
0:46:36 > 0:46:39- Loves the water.- Blows bubbles.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42- Bye, Pamela. - Goodbye. See you at the window.
0:46:44 > 0:46:46SHE WHISTLES

0:47:15 > 0:47:18# I tumbled flat You sure did.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21# That was the time that you took over
0:47:21 > 0:47:25# If someone else wants to try this love scene we rehearsed
0:47:25 > 0:47:29What'll I tell 'em? # Just tell them I saw you first
0:47:29 > 0:47:33# I'll try to remember that I saw you first

0:48:40 > 0:48:42It's a piano.
0:48:42 > 0:48:47Very funny. Why did an excellent musician like you learn the piano?
0:48:47 > 0:48:50My teacher couldn't play any other instrument.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52I should have known better.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59Hmm. Here's a nice picture of you and Pamela Drake.
0:48:59 > 0:49:06- You're quite photogenic. - The continental police thought so. They took lots of photos of me.

0:49:56 > 0:49:58You did. Mr Henry, if he told you
0:49:58 > 0:50:04that he couldn't pay and didn't - he kept his word. So you owe him an apology.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Quite. I told Mr Green that if he didn't pay I'd turn him out.

0:50:47 > 0:50:53Compliments of Miss Drake. She's sorry she poured the champagne down your back.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Oh...that's perfectly all right.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00- Isn't it unorthodox, her sending me flowers? - Very odd girl.

0:54:53 > 0:54:55No, I asked you to meet me
0:54:55 > 0:54:58- because I have something to ask you. - Oh?
0:55:00 > 0:55:02- Frank?- Mmm?
0:55:02 > 0:55:04How do you feel about marriage?
0:55:05 > 0:55:09Well, I think that marriage is an institution
0:55:09 > 0:55:11that no family can do without.
0:55:13 > 0:55:15Are you in love?
0:55:16 > 0:55:20- No.- Oh, that's wonderful.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22It is?

0:55:35 > 0:55:38Well, why do you have to?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Because the man I love wants me to.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42- He does?- Yes.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46Isn't that an odd way for him to show he loves you?
0:55:46 > 0:55:48- He doesn't love me.- He doesn't?- No.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Oh. Have you told him you love him?
0:55:52 > 0:55:54- No.- No?
0:55:54 > 0:55:57Oh, no. I'm waiting for him to find out he loves me.

0:56:04 > 0:56:07Let's sit down and start all over again.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Now, how does the guy you're going to marry feel about this?
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Oh, he hasn't proposed yet.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22What does your father say?
0:56:22 > 0:56:24Mr Drake isn't my father.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29- I'm just his daughter.- Mm-hm.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44- Frank.- Mm-hm?
0:56:44 > 0:56:48How would you go about making someone fall in love with you?
0:56:50 > 0:56:55Well, if it were a certain someone I met at your house,
0:56:55 > 0:56:57I would take her for a walk in the park.
0:56:57 > 0:57:00And we would sit down - like this.

1:00:35 > 1:00:40Can you give me some advice? I've got more than enough of that.

1:00:45 > 1:00:48< You just haven't caught the right man.

1:03:22 > 1:03:25- I want to ask you something. - Carry on.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28Did you have more than one daughter?
1:03:28 > 1:03:33Well...that I wouldn't know. My wife took care of those matters.
1:03:33 > 1:03:36Where did you find Millie? The scullery maid.
1:03:36 > 1:03:40Oh...the scullery maid. Oh...er... I got her
1:03:40 > 1:03:43- from a SCULL mate of mine. - Where is she?
1:03:43 > 1:03:46- In the scullery. - There's no-one in there.- No?
1:03:46 > 1:03:48I'll go and put somebody there.
1:03:48 > 1:03:51The cook said Millie was upstairs.
1:03:51 > 1:03:55- Millie, upstairs?- I understand she's taking care of Emily.
1:03:55 > 1:04:00- Oh, dear. Er... Of course, I'd forgotten all about that. - How IS Emily?
1:04:00 > 1:04:05- She's worse. Broke her leg. - What?!- We almost had to shoot her.
1:04:05 > 1:04:10- What happened? - She was under the weather and coming out from under it...
1:04:10 > 1:04:12- she did it.- How?
1:04:12 > 1:04:14Well, say this is the weather.
1:04:14 > 1:04:19Well, she was under it and coming up... Right there.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Oh, awful. Had to have it hemstitched.
1:04:22 > 1:04:26May I say something frightfully boring and mean it?
1:04:26 > 1:04:29You're the most extraordinary girl I've met.
1:04:29 > 1:04:35Lately, I'm the most extraordinary girl I'VE met. But I wasn't always this way.
1:04:35 > 1:04:40- You weren't? - No, I was just ordinary before I became Pamela Drake.
1:04:40 > 1:04:44- Before you became Pamela Drake? - Mm-hm.- When was that?
1:04:44 > 1:04:46Oh, it seems like a long time ago.
1:04:46 > 1:04:48Although it really wasn't.
1:04:48 > 1:04:51Oh, you mean you were reincarnated?
1:04:51 > 1:04:54- No, I was incorporated. - Incorporated.
1:04:54 > 1:04:57- Is that the same thing?- Not exactly.
1:04:57 > 1:05:00Incorporated is when you are in a corporation.
1:05:00 > 1:05:04Reincarnated means you have lived as someone else.
1:05:04 > 1:05:06- That's me all right.- That's you?
1:05:06 > 1:05:09Say, what were you in this other life?
1:05:09 > 1:05:11- A scullery maid.- A scu...!
1:05:13 > 1:05:15- Wonderful.- It wasn't so bad.
1:05:15 > 1:05:20In fact, I think I liked it better than being Pamela Drake.
1:05:20 > 1:05:22Have you ever been reincorporated?
1:05:22 > 1:05:27Er... Well, I have had several lives before I became Victor...
1:05:27 > 1:05:30Victor... Victor something.
1:05:30 > 1:05:32- What were you before?- A crook.
1:05:32 > 1:05:35I mean a cook. I cooked up music. Piano.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38- I'll bet that was nice. - Yes, I love music.
1:05:39 > 1:05:42- Shall we sit down?- Uh-huh.
1:05:45 > 1:05:47Tell me, Pamela,
1:05:47 > 1:05:51- were you married in this former life?- Oh, no.
1:05:52 > 1:05:55Would you like to be in this life?

1:06:08 > 1:06:10Isn't it?
1:06:13 > 1:06:16- Hey, how's it going? - Pretty good, so far.
1:06:16 > 1:06:18They're getting very chummy.
1:06:18 > 1:06:23- He's asking her something.- What's she's saying?- She's saying...
1:06:23 > 1:06:25He's coming in the house.
1:06:26 > 1:06:30- Here he comes. - Go and get the lowdown from her.- OK.
1:06:34 > 1:06:36Millie, how did it go?
1:06:36 > 1:06:41- Have we struck gold?- He proposed. - Great, we'll clear a dividend.
1:06:41 > 1:06:45- When's the wedding? - I haven't told him I would yet.
1:06:45 > 1:06:47You haven't told him you would?
1:06:47 > 1:06:50Michael, I'm in love with someone else.
1:06:50 > 1:06:55Love! Don't start that routine. You'd sacrifice this for some guy

1:06:58 > 1:07:00Doesn't he, Michael?
1:07:00 > 1:07:03Of course not. He's got maids all over town.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38- Look, you can't keep everyone waiting.- I've got to find it.
1:10:38 > 1:10:44I must have something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
1:10:44 > 1:10:49- You should have thought of it before. Is there anything blue?- No.
1:10:50 > 1:10:53Help me find it, Michael. Please.

1:12:15 > 1:12:19It sure is. Come on. Victor's getting agitated.

1:14:38 > 1:14:42'She's just marrying you for your money.'

1:16:03 > 1:16:06What are you going to do, Mr Drake?
1:16:06 > 1:16:08Do? I'm going to do Mr O'Brien.
1:16:08 > 1:16:11I vote for that. Me, too! Come on.

1:16:28 > 1:16:31We found out just in time. Please forgive...
1:16:31 > 1:16:33- Why, hello, Joe! - Joe? Joe who?
1:16:33 > 1:16:36Why, he's Joe Brown from Newcastle.
1:16:36 > 1:16:40We used to walk out together when he was at the Royal Crown.
1:16:40 > 1:16:44He's awful entertaining, if you know what I mean.
1:16:44 > 1:16:46We know what you mean.
1:16:46 > 1:16:48Mrs Keating, it can be explained.

1:17:03 > 1:17:08Marty, does your biography say that the Drakes ran a secret tavern?
1:17:08 > 1:17:12- Yes. - You were right. And about the harpsichord.
1:17:12 > 1:17:18- < What are you dribbling about? - The swellest goon trap that ever caught a lush.
1:17:20 > 1:17:22Oh, get a load of this place, Marty!
1:17:22 > 1:17:24Oh, boy! Is this my house?
1:17:24 > 1:17:26Look at that!
1:17:26 > 1:17:29It's wonderful.
1:17:29 > 1:17:31Boy!
1:17:31 > 1:17:36- Are you saying these casks and bottles are all full?! - Full and fancy.
1:17:36 > 1:17:42- The gag started here about wine, women and song. - Drakes are first in everything.
1:17:42 > 1:17:46I bet the songs were terrific if played on this harpsichord.
1:17:46 > 1:17:50Build a stairway to the street and you're in business.
1:17:50 > 1:17:55- That banker friend of yours will finance it.- That's an idea! Votes?

1:18:06 > 1:18:08I accept the apology.
1:18:08 > 1:18:10But er...

1:18:12 > 1:18:15- I'm getting out. - You're getting out?
1:18:15 > 1:18:17Say goodbye to Millie for me.
1:18:17 > 1:18:21- Make sure that she gets two full shares in this?- Two?!
1:18:21 > 1:18:23Yeah. Hers and mine.
1:18:23 > 1:18:25Where are you going?
1:18:25 > 1:18:29A friend has offered me a small part in a big show.
1:18:29 > 1:18:32Are you falling for that kid yourself?
1:18:32 > 1:18:34So long, gang.
1:18:34 > 1:18:36What will we do without Mike?

1:21:04 > 1:21:06# Now in Manhattan

1:23:38 > 1:23:40Hiya, kids.
1:23:40 > 1:23:42Hello, Mr O'Brien. Hiya, Mike.
1:23:42 > 1:23:47- A fine guy!- What? - Millie hasn't got any dough so you marry another bankroll.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51Don't be silly. I never intended to marry Millie.
1:23:51 > 1:23:56- That's why I'm here.- That kid's never been in love with anybody
1:23:56 > 1:23:58- except you.- Me?- Yeah.
1:23:59 > 1:24:01- Are you kidding?- No.

1:24:08 > 1:24:11- Sorry, Frank. Where is she? - In the scullery.

1:24:30 > 1:24:32Oh, you did, Michael?
1:24:32 > 1:24:35But is your blood fizzing like ginger ale?
1:24:35 > 1:24:38And you feel like you're walking on air?
1:24:38 > 1:24:42Yes, and I heard that music.
1:24:42 > 1:24:45- Are you going around? - Around with you.
1:24:45 > 1:24:48For a long time. A very long time.
1:25:02 > 1:25:05# The band had left the stand
1:25:05 > 1:25:09# And we were in heaven
1:25:11 > 1:25:14# Dancing on a cloud
1:25:14 > 1:25:18# Way off in the blue
1:25:18 > 1:25:24# The music stopped
1:25:24 > 1:25:29# And people were glancing
1:25:29 > 1:25:33# But we went on dancing
1:25:34 > 1:25:38# For we didn't know
1:25:38 > 1:25:41# Because
1:25:41 > 1:25:45# The lights were low
1:25:47 > 1:25:56# And we were in love. #
