used to say:
Copy !req

Copy !req
45. Just leave everything to me
Copy !req
46. - Where to, Dolly?
- Yonkers.
Copy !req
47. To handle a highly personal
matter for Mr Vandergelder,
Copy !req
48. the well-known
unmarried half-a-millionaire.
Copy !req
49. - Gonna marry him yourself?
- Why, Mr Sullivan,
Copy !req
50. whatever put such
a preposterous idea into my head?
Copy !req
51. Your head.
Copy !req
52. If you want a law abolished,
jury swayed or toenails polished
Copy !req
53. Just leave everything to me
Copy !req
54. If you want your liver tested,
glasses made, cash invested
Copy !req
55. Just leave everything to me
Copy !req
56. If you want your children coddled,
corsets boned or furs remodelled
Copy !req
57. Or some nice, fresh fricassee
Copy !req
58. If you want your bustle shifted,
wedding planned or bosom lifted
Copy !req

Life is full of secrets and I keep 'em!
Copy !req
60. I'll discreetly use my own discretion
Copy !req
61. I'll arrange for making all arrangements
Copy !req
62. I'll proceed to plan the whole procedure
Copy !req
63. Just leave everything
Copy !req
64. To me
Copy !req
65. - And I'm telling you that I will marry her!
- Not without my permission, you won't!
Copy !req
66. This is a free country,
not a private kingdom.
Copy !req
67. She's consented and I'll marry her.
Copy !req
68. - I'm telling you that you won't.
- I'm telling you I will.
Copy !req
69. - Never.
- Tomorrow. Today.
Copy !req
70. Ermengarde is not for you.
You can't support her. You are an artist.
Copy !req
71. - I make a good living.
- A living, Mr Kemper,
Copy !req
72. is made by selling something that
everybody needs at least once a year.
Copy !req
73. And a million is made by producing
something everybody needs every day.
Copy !req
74. You artists, you painters, produce
nothing that nobody needs, never.
Copy !req
75. You might as well know,
Copy !req
76. any way we can find to get married
is right and fair and we'll do it.
Copy !req
77. You are an impractical,
seven-foot-tall nincompoop.
Copy !req
78. - That's an insult.
- All the facts about you are insults.
Copy !req
79. - Thank you for the honour of your visit.
- Ermengarde is of age and there's no law...
Copy !req
80. Law? The law is there to prevent crime. Men
of sense are there to prevent foolishness.
Copy !req
81. It is I that will prevent you
from marrying my niece.
Copy !req
82. And I've already taken the necessary steps.
Mrs Dolly Levi is on her way here even now.
Copy !req
83. Dolly Levi? Your marriage broker?
Copy !req
84. Never mind that. She'll pick up Ermengarde
and take her to New York,
Copy !req
85. and keep her there
until this foolishness is over.
Copy !req
86. - We'll see about that.
- Thank you again for the honour...
Copy !req
87. You have to sit still, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
88. If I cut your throat
it will be practically unintentional.
Copy !req
89. 90% of the people in this world are fools
Copy !req
90. and the rest are
in great danger of contamination.
Copy !req
91. Enough of this.
I'm a busy man with things to do.
Copy !req
92. A scraped chin is the least of them.
Copy !req
93. I did the best I could, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
94. - Joe.
- Yes?
Copy !req
95. I've got special reasons
for looking my best today.
Copy !req
96. Is there something a little extra
you can do? A little special?
Copy !req
97. What?
Copy !req
98. You know, do some of those things
you do to the young fellas.
Copy !req
99. Smarten me up a little bit.
Copy !req
100. Face massage. A little perfume water.
Copy !req
101. All I know is 15 cents' worth, like usual,
and that includes all that's decent to do.
Copy !req
102. Listen, I don't want you blabbing this,
but I need something extra today
Copy !req
103. because I'm going to New York
to call on a very refined lady,
Copy !req
104. name of Miss Irene Molloy.
Copy !req
105. Your callin' on ladies is none
of my business, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
106. - Hold your horses, Joe.
- Uncle Horace!
Copy !req
107. - Uncle Horace!
- Yes, what is it?
Copy !req
108. - What have you done to Ambrose?
- I had a quiet talk with him.
Copy !req
109. - You did?
- Yes, I explained to him that he's a fool.
Copy !req
110. - Oh, Uncle!
- Weeping, weeping - a waste of water.
Copy !req
111. I've done you a good turn.
You'll thank me when you're 50.
Copy !req
112. But, Uncle, I love him.
Copy !req
113. Save your tears for New York,
where they won't be noticed.
Copy !req
114. - But I love him!
- You don't.
Copy !req
115. - But I do!
- Leave those things to me.
Copy !req
116. If I don't marry Ambrose, I know I'll die!
Copy !req
117. - Of what?
- A broken heart.
Copy !req
118. Never heard of it. Are you ready
for Mrs Levi when she comes?
Copy !req
119. Yes.
Copy !req
120. Well, get ready some more and
stay in your room until she arrives.
Copy !req
121. Cornelius!
Copy !req
122. Barnaby!
Copy !req
123. Cornelius! Barnaby!
Copy !req
124. - You stamped, Mr Vandergelder?
- Yes, I stamped.
Copy !req
125. Are my niece's bags at the railroad station?
Copy !req
126. - Yes.
- And you, did you label them properly?
Copy !req
127. - Yes.
- Good.
Copy !req
128. I'm going to New York
on important business,
Copy !req
129. then I'll be marching in the parade.
Copy !req
130. - Yes, Mr Vandergelder.
- I'm planning to stay at the Central Hotel.
Copy !req
131. We've never been here alone,
Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
132. Now, in honour of the occasion, I'll promote
you both. Cornelius, how old are you?
Copy !req
133. 283/4, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
134. Is that all? That's a foolish age
to be at. I thought you were 40.
Copy !req
135. No, I'm 283/4.
Copy !req
136. Well, a man's not worth a cent till he's 40.
Copy !req
137. We pay him wages until then
to make mistakes.
Copy !req
138. - Anyway, I'm promoting you to chief clerk.
- Chief clerk?
Copy !req
139. - Yes.
- Well, what am I now?
Copy !req
140. You're an impertinent fool. If you behave,
I'll promote you from fool to chief clerk,
Copy !req
141. with a raise in your wages.
Copy !req
142. Thank you, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
143. You, Barnaby, I'm promoting you from
idiot apprentice to incompetent clerk.
Copy !req
144. - Thank you, Mr Vandergelder.
- Mr Vandergelder? Mr Vandergelder?
Copy !req
145. What is it?
Copy !req
146. Does the chief clerk get
one evening off a week?
Copy !req
147. So that's how you thank me, eh?
No, sir. You'll attend to the store as usual.
Copy !req
148. You keep on asking for evenings free
and you'll find you have all your days free.
Copy !req
149. Yes, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
150. And when I come back I wanna hear
that you ran the place perfectly.
Copy !req
151. If I hear of any foolishness, I'll fire you both.
Copy !req
152. Yes.
Copy !req
153. You might as well know it now.
Copy !req
154. When I return there will be
some changes around here.
Copy !req
155. - You're going to have a mistress.
- I'm too young, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
156. Not yours, idiot. Mine. I mean,
I'm planning to get married.
Copy !req
157. - Married?
- Yes, married. Any objections?
Copy !req
158. No, but...
Copy !req
159. No, many congratulations,
Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
160. - And to the lady.
- That's none of your business.
Copy !req
161. - Any questions?
- No, but...
Copy !req
162. - But what?
- But I mean...
Copy !req
163. - Speak up.
- Why?
Copy !req
164. - Why what, damn it! Speak up!
- Why are you getting married?
Copy !req
165. Let me tell you something, son.
Copy !req
166. I've worked hard and I've become
rich and friendless and mean.
Copy !req
167. And in America it's about
as far as you can go.
Copy !req
168. It's time to be doing
something a little bit foolish.
Copy !req
169. Besides, I need a steady housekeeper.
Copy !req
170. It takes a woman, all powdered and pink
Copy !req
171. To joyously clean out the drain in the sink
Copy !req
172. And it takes an angel
with long, golden lashes
Copy !req
173. And soft Dresden fingers
for dumping the ashes
Copy !req
174. Yes, it takes a woman, a dainty woman
Copy !req
175. A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Copy !req
176. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
177. A fragile woman
Copy !req
178. To bring you the sweet things in life
Copy !req
179. The frail young maiden,
who's constantly there
Copy !req
180. For washing and blueing,
and shoeing the mare
Copy !req
181. And it takes a female for setting the table
Copy !req
182. And weaning the Guernsey
and cleaning the stable
Copy !req
183. Yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
184. A dainty woman
Copy !req
185. A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Copy !req
186. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
187. A fragile woman
Copy !req
188. To bring you the sweet things in life
Copy !req
189. And so she'll work until infinity
Copy !req
190. Three cheers for femininity
Copy !req
191. God bless fem-I-nin-I-ty
Copy !req
192. And in the winter she'll shovel the ice
Copy !req
193. And lovingly set out the traps for the mice
Copy !req
194. She's a joy and treasure
for, practically speaking,
Copy !req
195. To whom can you turn
when the plumbing is leaking?
Copy !req
196. To that dainty woman
Copy !req
197. That fragile woman
Copy !req
198. That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
Copy !req
199. That womanly wife
Copy !req
200. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
201. A husky woman
Copy !req
202. To bring you the sweet things in life
Copy !req
203. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
204. A dainty woman
Copy !req
205. A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Copy !req
206. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
207. A fragile woman
Copy !req
208. To bring you the sweet things in life
Copy !req
209. Well, well, well, well, well.
Copy !req
210. Good morning, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
211. Mr Hackl. Mr Tucker.
Copy !req
212. - Gentlemen.
- Good morning, ma'am.
Copy !req
213. Uh, morning, Mrs Levi.
Copy !req
214. How handsome you look today. Ooh,
you absolutely take my breath away.
Copy !req
215. Ermengarde is crying her eyes out.
Copy !req
216. You can take her to New York,
but blow her nose first.
Copy !req
217. If only Irene Molloy could see you now.
Copy !req
218. Find someplace else to loaf. And you two
get back to the store. Go on!
Copy !req
219. And don't forget to put
the lid on the sheep dip.
Copy !req
220. I don't know what's come over you lately,
Copy !req
221. but you seem to be growing
younger every day.
Copy !req
222. Well, if a man eats careful, there's
no reason why he should look old.
Copy !req
223. - You never said a truer word.
- Even if I never see 40... uh, 35, again.
Copy !req
224. 35. I can see that you're the sort
that will be stamping about at 100,
Copy !req
225. eating five meals a day, like
my Uncle Harry, may he rest in peace.
Copy !req
226. Let me see your hand, Mr Vandergelder.
Oh, show me your hand.
Copy !req
227. - Why?
- I'm a judge of hands. I read hands.
Copy !req
228. - And I use them to get things done.
- Oh! Lord in heaven! Goodness gracious!
Copy !req
229. Oh, I just can't believe it.
It's such a long lifeline.
Copy !req
230. - Where?
- From here I don't know where it goes.
Copy !req
231. It runs right off your hand.
They'll have to hit you with a mallet.
Copy !req
232. They'll have to stifle you with
a sofa pillow. You'll bury us all.
Copy !req
233. I will?
Copy !req
234. Say, you're all spiffed up
today, aren't you?
Copy !req
235. - Yes.
- And not for this smelly horse, either.
Copy !req
236. Well, if I had to guess,
I'd say you was goin' somewhere.
Copy !req
237. Remarkable, Mrs Levi. How do you do it?
Copy !req
238. Two and two is four, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
239. With a head like yours
you'll be a rich woman someday.
Copy !req
240. That's exactly what I had in mind.
Copy !req
241. Then I suggest you go about your
business and pick up Ermengarde,
Copy !req
242. - for which I am paying you good money.
- Speaking of business, Mr Vandergelder,
Copy !req
243. I suppose you've given up
all idea of getting married?
Copy !req
244. - Is that what you suppose?
- Uh-huh.
Copy !req
245. Then suppose you listen to this, Mrs Levi.
Copy !req
246. I've decided I've practically decided
to ask Irene Molloy to be my wife.
Copy !req
247. - You have?
- Yes, I have.
Copy !req
248. I'm going to New York and discuss it
with her this very afternoon.
Copy !req
249. Well, that is just about the best news
I have ever heard, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
250. Oh, yes, indeed. Marvellous news.
Oh, dear me. Isn't it wonderful?
Copy !req
251. I mean, I'm racking my brain, trying to
think of something that's made me happier,
Copy !req
252. but I just can't come up with a thing,
because this is just too wonderful.
Copy !req
253. Well, it's all your fault, you know.
Copy !req
254. You put me into this marryin' frame of mind
with all your introductions and scheming.
Copy !req
255. - A widow has to earn a living.
- One day I wake up
Copy !req
256. - and the house seems like an empty shell.
- Certainly is.
Copy !req
257. - And messy, too.
- Certainly is.
Copy !req
258. A man needs someone
to take out the garbage.
Copy !req
259. And Irene Molloy's just the one
to do it. Oh, darling girl.
Copy !req
260. Well, I think it's perfectly wonderful
what's going to happen in your household.
Copy !req
261. I never did like the idea of all that money
of yours lying around in piles in the bank,
Copy !req
262. so useless and motionless. As my late
husband, Ephraim Levi, used to say:
Copy !req
263. "Money should circulate like rainwater."
Copy !req
264. "It should flow down among the people,
through little dressmakers and restaurants,
Copy !req
265. setting up a business here,
furnishing a good time there."
Copy !req
266. I just know that you and Mrs Vandergelder
will see that all your hard-earned wealth
Copy !req
267. starts flowing in and around
many people's lives, just flowing...
Copy !req
268. - All right. Stop saying that!
- Pouring out...
Copy !req
269. So there's nothing more for me to do
but wish you happiness
Copy !req
270. - and say goodbye.
- Yes, well, goodbye.
Copy !req
271. And when I get to New York,
I'll tell the girl I had lined up for you,
Copy !req
272. the heiress, not to wait.
Copy !req
273. - What did you say?
- Oh, nothing, nothing. A word. "Heiress."
Copy !req
274. Well, just a minute. That's kind of
unusual, isn't it, Mrs Levi?
Copy !req
275. Well, I haven't been wearing myself to the
bone hunting up usual girls to interest you.
Copy !req
276. But now all that's too late.
You're engaged to marry Irene Molloy.
Copy !req
277. - I am not engaged.
- I cannot keep upsetting
Copy !req
278. the finest women around
unless you mean business.
Copy !req
279. - Who said I don't mean business?
- You're playing a very dangerous game.
Copy !req
280. - Dangerous?
- Of course it's dangerous. It's called
Copy !req
281. "tampering with a woman's affections".
Copy !req
282. The only way to save yourself
from that charge
Copy !req
283. is to get married
to someone soon, very soon.
Copy !req
284. - Don't worry.
- I won't.
Copy !req
285. I'll meet you in front of
Irene Molloy's hat shop at 2.30.
Copy !req
286. - Never mind. You've done your work.
- I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Copy !req
287. I want to be there to make sure
nothing goes wrong.
Copy !req
288. Just tend to Ermengarde or else I'll ask
you to return the fee I gave you for that.
Copy !req
289. - Speaking of money...
- Oh, no. How much?
Copy !req
290. Well, I left my money in the handbag I took
to the cleaner's just before it burned down.
Copy !req
291. 20! Oh, bless you, and don't you worry
your handsome head about a thing.
Copy !req
292. Just keep all your thoughts
on that lovely Irene Molloy.
Copy !req
293. It takes a woman to quietly plan
Copy !req
294. To take him and change him
to her kind of man
Copy !req
295. And to gently lead him
where fortune can find him
Copy !req
296. And not let him know
Copy !req
297. That the power behind him
Copy !req
298. Was that dainty woman
Copy !req
299. That fragile woman
Copy !req
300. That sweetheart
Copy !req
301. That mistress
Copy !req
302. That wife
Copy !req
303. Da, da, da, da
Copy !req
304. Da, da, da
Copy !req
305. If he had any taste at all,
he'd have the shutters done over in green.
Copy !req
306. Mm, forest-green shutters.
Copy !req
307. - What are you doing?
- Hurry!
Copy !req
308. - My uncle...
- He just left.
Copy !req
309. Now quick! We're running away.
Copy !req
310. - Running away?
- Hurry, before the train gets here!
Copy !req
311. - Train?
- To New York, to get married.
Copy !req
312. - We're going to elope.
- Elope? That's such an awful word.
Copy !req
313. - Oh, Ermengarde.
- My, what a romantic scene.
Copy !req
314. Oh, Mrs Levi, please explain to Ambrose.
I wanna marry him, but not elope.
Copy !req
315. - This doesn't concern Mrs Levi.
- Everything concerns Dolly Levi.
Copy !req
316. - Don't listen to her. I know why you're here.
- To help. Love needs all the help it can get.
Copy !req
317. - Wait a minute. Listen to me.
- There's no time.
Copy !req
318. Can we climb in? I feel
an updraught in my underpants.
Copy !req
319. - Oh, Mrs Levi!
- This is no way to elope.
Copy !req
320. If you follow my suggestions,
not only will he let you marry
Copy !req
321. but he'll dance at your wedding.
Copy !req
322. And not alone, either.
Mr Kemper, can you dance?
Copy !req
323. - Dance? I'm an artist, Mrs Levi. I paint.
- No problem.
Copy !req
324. - "Mrs Levi. Painters taught how to dance."
- Here's what we'll do.
Copy !req
325. - I'm going to take you to New York.
- See? I told you.
Copy !req
326. You will stay close by. Tonight you will
take her to dinner at the Harmonia Gardens.
Copy !req
327. There's this man, Rudolph Reisenweber.
He knows me well.
Copy !req
328. We'll enter you in the polka contest.
Copy !req
329. The prize is a gold cup and
some money, and you'll win it.
Copy !req
330. - Oh, the cups we won, my husband and I.
- Now, wait a minute.
Copy !req
331. I'm surprised you have
acquaintances in a place like that.
Copy !req
332. Not acquaintances, Ermengarde. Friends.
Dear friends from days gone by.
Copy !req
333. My late husband, Ephraim Levi, believed
in life, any place you could find it,
Copy !req
334. wherever there were people,
all kinds of people.
Copy !req
335. And every Friday night,
even when times were bad,
Copy !req
336. every Friday night, like clockwork,
Copy !req
337. down those stairs of the Harmonia
Gardens we came, Ephraim and I.
Copy !req
338. Not acquaintances, Ermengarde. Friends.
Copy !req
339. It's all very well for you,
but you're suggesting that we...
Copy !req
340. Mr Kemper, do you or do you not wish to
show Horace that you mean business?
Copy !req
341. Yes!
Copy !req
342. All right, then. Go to the Harmonia
Gardens and say that Mrs Levi sent you.
Copy !req
343. And, oh... yes, well, tell Rudolph...
Tell Rudolph that Dolly's coming back.
Copy !req
344. Dolly's coming back?
Copy !req
345. And I want a table for two
and a chicken for eight o'clock.
Copy !req
346. Mr Vandergelder will learn of your triumph
and everything will work out beautifully.
Copy !req
347. - But how, Mrs Levi? How?
- How?
Copy !req
348. Oh.
Copy !req
349. 283/4 years old and I still don't
get an evening free.
Copy !req
350. When am I gonna begin to live?
Copy !req
351. Barnaby? How much money have you got?
Copy !req
352. - Huh?
- I mean, that you can get your hands on?
Copy !req
353. - About three dollars. Why?
- Barnaby, you and I are going to New York.
Copy !req
354. Cornelius, we can't. Close the store?
Copy !req
355. We'll have to, cos some rotten cans
of chicken mash are going to explode.
Copy !req
356. Holy cabooses! How do you know?
Copy !req
357. Because I'll light some candles under them.
Copy !req
358. They'll make such a stink that customers
won't be able to come in for 24 hours.
Copy !req
359. That'll get us an evening free. We are going
to New York and we are gonna live.
Copy !req
360. We're gonna have a good meal,
be in danger, get almost arrested.
Copy !req
361. - And we're gonna spend all our money.
- Holy cabooses!
Copy !req
362. And one more thing.
Copy !req
363. We are not coming back to Yonkers
until we've each kissed a girl.
Copy !req
364. Cornelius, you can't do that.
You don't know any girls.
Copy !req
365. I'm 283/4. I gotta begin sometime.
Copy !req
366. I'm only 191/2.
With me it's not so urgent.
Copy !req
367. May I make a suggestion, gentlemen?
Copy !req
368. Mrs Levi.
Copy !req
369. - I just couldn't help hearing.
- We'll be fired.
Copy !req
370. - We were only talking.
- Mr Hackl, Mr Tucker,
Copy !req
371. there is nothing that makes me happier
than the thought of two fine young men
Copy !req
372. enjoying the company of two lovely ladies.
Copy !req
373. - What ladies? Where?
- In New York, Mr Hackl,
Copy !req
374. to which, unless my ears
play me tricks, you are bound.
Copy !req
375. Now, there's this millinery shop
run by a charming woman.
Copy !req
376. - "Irene Molloy"?
- And her attractive assistant, Minnie Fay.
Copy !req
377. And now that you've noted
the address, I have only this to say.
Copy !req
378. Two o'clock in the afternoon there
is the ideal time for friendly conversation.
Copy !req
379. Definitely no later than 2.30.
Copy !req
380. And if you ever say that
this was my suggestion,
Copy !req
381. well, I should denounce you both
for the terrible liars that you are.
Copy !req
382. - A millinery shop.
- Women who work!
Copy !req
383. - Adventure, Barnaby.
- I'm scared.
Copy !req
384. - Living, Barnaby.
- I'm scared.
Copy !req
385. - Will ya come, Barnaby?
- Yes, Cornelius! Yes!
Copy !req
386. The lights of Broadway! Elevated trains!
The stuffed whale at Barnum's museum!
Copy !req
387. Stuffed whale! Wow!
Copy !req
388. Women who work! Wow!
Copy !req
389. All clear up here, Cornelius!
You gonna light 'em all?
Copy !req
390. Cornelius, look out! That bottom row,
Copy !req
391. they're swelled up
like they're ready to burst!
Copy !req
392. - Holy cabooses! What a smell!
- Let's get dressed, Barnaby.
Copy !req
393. We're going to New York!
Copy !req
394. Out there
Copy !req
395. There's a world outside of Yonkers
Copy !req
396. Way out there beyond
this hick town, Barnaby
Copy !req
397. There's a slick town, Barnaby
Copy !req
398. Out there
Copy !req
399. Full of shine and full of sparkle
Copy !req
400. Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby
Copy !req
401. Listen, Barnaby
Copy !req
402. Put on your Sunday clothes,
there's lots of world out there
Copy !req
403. Get out the brilliantine and dime cigars
Copy !req
404. We're gonna find adventure
in the evening air
Copy !req
405. Girls in white in a perfumed night
Copy !req
406. Where the lights are bright as the stars
Copy !req
407. Put on your Sunday clothes,
we're gonna ride through town
Copy !req
408. In one of those new horse-drawn open cars
Copy !req
409. We'll see the shows at Delmonico's
Copy !req
410. And we'll close the town in a whirl
Copy !req
411. And we won't come home
until we've kissed a girl
Copy !req
412. Put on your Sunday clothes
when you feel down and out
Copy !req
413. Strut down the street
and have your picture took
Copy !req
414. Dressed like a dream
your spirits seem to turn about
Copy !req
415. That Sunday shine is a certain sign
Copy !req
416. That you feel as fine as you look
Copy !req
417. Beneath your parasol
the world is all a smile
Copy !req
418. That makes you feel brand-new
down to your toes
Copy !req
419. Get out your feathers, your patent leathers
Copy !req
420. Your beads and buckles and bows
Copy !req
421. For there's no blue Monday in your Sunday
Copy !req
422. No Monday in your Sunday
Copy !req
423. No Monday in your Sunday clothes
Copy !req
424. Put on your Sunday clothes
when you feel down and out
Copy !req
425. Strut down the street
and have your picture took
Copy !req
426. Dressed like a dream
your spirits seem to turn about
Copy !req
427. That Sunday shine is a certain sign
Copy !req
428. That you feel as fine as you look
Copy !req
429. Beneath your parasol
the world is all a smile
Copy !req
430. That makes you feel brand-new
down to your toes
Copy !req
431. Get out your feathers, your patent leathers
Copy !req
432. Your beads and buckles and bows
Copy !req
433. For there's no blue Monday
in your Sunday clothes
Copy !req
434. Put on your Sunday clothes
when you feel down and out
Copy !req
435. Strut down the street
and have your picture took
Copy !req
436. Dressed like a dream
your spirits seem to turn about
Copy !req
437. That Sunday shine is a certain sign
Copy !req
438. That you feel as fine as you look
Copy !req
439. Beneath your bowler brim
the world's a simple song
Copy !req
440. A lovely lilt that makes you tilt your nose
Copy !req
441. Get out your slickers
Copy !req
442. Your flannel knickers
Copy !req
443. Your red suspenders and hose
Copy !req
444. For there's no blue Monday
Copy !req
445. In your Sunday
Copy !req
446. No blue Monday
Copy !req
447. In your Sunday clothes
Copy !req
448. Ermengarde, keep smiling.
No man wants a little ninny.
Copy !req
449. Ambrose, do a turn, let me see.
Copy !req
450. Mr Hackl, Mr Tucker,
don't forget Irene and Minnie,
Copy !req
451. just forget you ever heard a word from me.
Copy !req
452. All aboard! All aboard!
Copy !req
453. All aboard!
Copy !req
454. Put on your Sunday clothes,
there's lots of world out there
Copy !req
455. Put on your silk cravat and patent shoes
Copy !req
456. We're gonna find adventure
in the evening air
Copy !req
457. To town we'll trot to a smoky spot
Copy !req
458. Where the girls are hot as a fuse
Copy !req
459. Put on your silk high hat
and at the turned-up cuff
Copy !req
460. We'll wear a handmade
grey suede buttoned glove
Copy !req
461. You're gonna take New York by storm
Copy !req
462. We'll join the Astors at Tony Pastor's
Copy !req
463. And this I'm positive of
Copy !req
464. That we won't come home
Copy !req
465. No, we won't come home
Copy !req
466. No, we won't come home
until we fall in love
Copy !req
467. Do get done with that, Minnie. The men
are eyeing us for the wrong reason.
Copy !req
468. - A banana a day keeps the doctor away.
- An apple a day.
Copy !req
469. Do doctors slip on apple peels?
Copy !req
470. - How are you, Miss Molloy?
- If I felt any better I'd be indecent.
Copy !req
471. - You are in a mood today.
- I certainly am.
Copy !req
472. Not that it's any of my business...
Oh, but is it because? I mean...
Copy !req
473. I don't mind that you never finish lunch,
but I mind that you never finish sentences.
Copy !req
474. Well, what I meant was,
are you really going to?
Copy !req
475. Silly girl, say it. Am I going to
marry Horace Vandergelder?
Copy !req
476. Yes, I'm seriously
considering it, if he asks me.
Copy !req
477. Oh, I'd rather die on the rack than
ask you such a personal question,
Copy !req
478. but why would you?
Copy !req
479. Because he's rich, that's why. He can rescue
me from the millinery business. I hate hats.
Copy !req
480. - Hate hats?
- A good afternoon to you, Officer Gogarty.
Copy !req
481. And the rest of the day to you, Miss Molloy.
Copy !req
482. Ah, Minnie, why is it that all the attractive
men in New York are married?
Copy !req
483. Blarney, Miss Molloy! Blarney!
Copy !req
484. Come on now, get going, all of you.
Copy !req
485. - Oh, the way you talk!
- It's natural to talk about men.
Copy !req
486. - I mean, what you said about hating hats.
- Particularly the women who buy them.
Copy !req
487. - You don't mean that.
- Oh, yes, I do, Minnie Fay.
Copy !req
488. All lady milliners are suspected
of being wicked women.
Copy !req
489. Half the time those dowagers who come in,
come in merely to stare and wonder.
Copy !req
490. Oh, how dare they!
Copy !req
491. And if they were sure,
they'd not set foot in the shop again.
Copy !req
492. - Well, good riddance. Who needs them?
- We do, unfortunately.
Copy !req
493. So, do I go out to restaurants?
No, it would be bad for business.
Copy !req
494. Do I go to balls or theatres or operas?
Copy !req
495. No, it would be bad for business.
Copy !req
496. The only men I ever meet are the feather
merchants who come to sell me things.
Copy !req
497. Minnie, I'm tired of being suspected of being
Copy !req
498. a wicked woman with
nothing to show for it.
Copy !req
499. Miss Molloy!
Copy !req
500. Why does everybody
have adventures but me?
Copy !req
501. - Adventures?
- Because I have no spirit, no gumption.
Copy !req
502. Either I marry Horace Vandergelder
or I'm gonna burn this shop down,
Copy !req
503. break out like a fire engine
and find myself some excitement.
Copy !req
504. The things you're saying today.
They're just awful.
Copy !req
505. Oh, aren't they, though?
And I'm enjoying every word of it.
Copy !req
506. What's this? A return from
Miss Mortimer again?
Copy !req
507. Same old story. She wants cherries
and feathers. To catch a beau, I suppose.
Copy !req
508. If you ask me, she'd do better
with a heavy veil.
Copy !req
509. I told her ribbons down the back
is the thing to catch a gentleman's eye.
Copy !req
510. But she'd have none of it.
Copy !req
511. Minnie, make another hat
for Miss Mortimer.
Copy !req
512. I'm wearing this one myself.
Copy !req
513. - Oh, but you can't.
- Why not?
Copy !req
514. Oh, because it's... it's provocative.
That's why not.
Copy !req
515. Well, who knows that "provocative"
isn't just what I might wanna be today.
Copy !req
516. I'll be wearing ribbons down my back
Copy !req
517. This summer
Copy !req
518. Blue and green and
streaming in the yellow sky
Copy !req
519. So if someone special comes my way
Copy !req
520. This summer
Copy !req
521. He might notice me
Copy !req
522. Passing by
Copy !req
523. And so I'll try to make it easier to find me
Copy !req
524. In the stillness of July
Copy !req
525. Because a breeze might stir
a rainbow up behind me
Copy !req
526. That might happen to catch
Copy !req
527. The gentleman's eye
Copy !req
528. And he might smile
and take me by the hand
Copy !req
529. This summer
Copy !req
530. Making me recall how lovely love can be
Copy !req
531. And so I will proudly wear
Copy !req
532. Ribbons down my back
Copy !req
533. Shining in my hair
Copy !req
534. That he might notice me
Copy !req
535. Miss Molloy, you don't love
Horace Vandergelder, do you?
Copy !req
536. - Of course I don't love him.
- Then how can you... I mean?
Copy !req
537. Minnie, look. There are two men
staring at the shop.
Copy !req
538. - Men?
- Uh-huh. Aren't they delicious?
Copy !req
539. You don't think?
Copy !req
540. Yes, I do believe
they mean to come in here.
Copy !req
541. - Men in the shop? What'll we do?
- Why, flirt with them, of course.
Copy !req
542. - I'll give you the short one.
- You're terrible.
Copy !req
543. We'll heat them up and drop them cold.
Good practice for married life.
Copy !req
544. - Let's pretty ourselves up a bit.
- If you say "vamp", I'll scream.
Copy !req
545. - Vamp!
- Agh!
Copy !req
546. I must say, I like the tall one.
Copy !req
547. Adventure, Barnaby.
Copy !req
548. We can still catch the train back to Yonkers.
Copy !req
549. I feel dizzy.
Copy !req
550. Or go see the stuffed whale at the museum.
Copy !req
551. Women, Barnaby.
Copy !req
552. Stuffed women!
Copy !req
553. There's no one here. We can leave.
Copy !req
554. I'd never forgive myself. Agh!
Copy !req
555. Are you sure this is an adventure,
Cornelius?
Copy !req
556. You don't have to ask. When you're
in one, you'll know it all right.
Copy !req
557. - How much money is left?
- 40 cents for the train,
Copy !req
558. 30 cents for dinner and
20 cents to see the whale.
Copy !req
559. Well, when they come out,
we'll pretend we're rich.
Copy !req
560. - That way we won't have to spend a thing.
- Why not say that Mrs Levi sent us?
Copy !req
561. No, we're not supposed to
ever say that. Shh!
Copy !req
562. We're two men about town
looking for hats for ladies.
Copy !req
563. What ladies?
Copy !req
564. "Good afternoon, ma'am.
Wonderful weather we're having."
Copy !req
565. "How do you do, ma'am?
And how are your hats?"
Copy !req
566. "Charmed to make your acquaintance.
Lovely place you have here."
Copy !req
567. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Copy !req
568. - Cornelius Hackl here.
- Barnaby Tucker here.
Copy !req
569. Irene Molloy here.
Copy !req
570. I'm very happy to meet you.
Is there anything I can do for you?
Copy !req
571. See, we're two ladies about town
lookin' for hats to Molloy...
Copy !req
572. We're hats, you see, and wondered if we
could buy a lady or two to Molloy with for...
Copy !req
573. We want a hat. Well, for a lady, of course.
Copy !req
574. And everyone said to go to
Miss Molloy's cos she's so pretty.
Copy !req
575. I mean her hats are so pretty.
Copy !req
576. And what sort of hat
would Mrs Hackl be liking?
Copy !req
577. Oh, no, Miss Molloy, there is no Mrs Hackl.
Copy !req
578. Yes, there is. Your mother.
Copy !req
579. She didn't mean that.
Copy !req
580. - Did you, Miss Molloy?
- Now, this lady friend of yours,
Copy !req
581. couldn't she come in with you
someday and choose the hat herself?
Copy !req
582. Impossible. There is no lady friend.
Copy !req
583. But I thought you said that
you were coming here to choose...
Copy !req
584. - I mean, she's Barnaby's.
- Huh? What?
Copy !req
585. Yes, but she lives in Yonkers and she said
to pick out something reasonable.
Copy !req
586. - Under a dollar.
- Don't be silly, Barnaby.
Copy !req
587. Money's no object with us. None at all.
Copy !req
588. Oh, this is my assistant,
Miss Minnie Fay. Mr Hackl. Mr Tucker.
Copy !req
589. - Good afternoon, ma'am.
- Afternoon ma'am.
Copy !req
590. Excuse me, Mr Tucker, did you say Yonkers?
Copy !req
591. Yes, ma'am, we're from Yonkers.
Copy !req
592. Well, are you?
Copy !req
593. Yes. And, forgive me for saying this,
but you should see Yonkers, Miss Molloy.
Copy !req
594. Well, perhaps you and your gentleman
friend here in New York might like to see it.
Copy !req
595. Some say it's the most
beautiful town in the world.
Copy !req
596. - That's what they say.
- So I've heard.
Copy !req
597. But I'm afraid I don't have
a gentleman friend here in New York.
Copy !req
598. You don't? Barnaby, she doesn't
have a gentleman friend.
Copy !req
599. Hey, that's too bad. You know, if you
should happen to have a Sunday free...
Copy !req
600. You're Catholic, aren't you? Don't let that
worry you. I'd be willing to change.
Copy !req
601. If you're free in the near future, I'd...
Copy !req
602. Well, we'd like to show you Yonkers
from top to bottom.
Copy !req
603. It's very historic.
Copy !req
604. As a matter of fact, I might
be there sooner than you think.
Copy !req
605. - This Sunday?
- I have a friend who lives in Yonkers.
Copy !req
606. - You do?
- Perhaps you know him.
Copy !req
607. I do?
Copy !req
608. It's always so foolish to ask
in cases like that, isn't it?
Copy !req
609. Why should you know him?
It's a Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
610. Mr Vandergelder? Oh!
Copy !req
611. - Horace Vandergelder?
- Of Vandergelder's Hay and Feed?
Copy !req
612. - Yes. Do you know him?
- Oh, no! No!
Copy !req
613. No, no, no, no, no, no...
Copy !req
614. As a matter of fact, he's coming here
to see me this very afternoon.
Copy !req
615. - Coming here?
- This afternoon?
Copy !req
616. Cornelius! Cornelius, look!
Copy !req
617. It's a wolf trap.
Copy !req
618. Look out!
Copy !req
619. - Begging your pardon.
- What are you doing?
Copy !req
620. - We'll explain later. Help us just this once.
- Come out of there this minute.
Copy !req
621. We're as innocent as can be, Miss Molloy.
Copy !req
622. Mr Hackl, Mr Tucker, I insist that
you both come out or I'll be forced to...
Copy !req
623. Mr Vandergelder, how nice to see you.
Copy !req
624. - And Dolly Levi, what a surprise.
- Irene, my darling, how well you look.
Copy !req
625. - You must be in love.
- Afternoon, Miss Molloy.
Copy !req
626. What a pleasure to have you
in New York, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
627. Yes, Yonkers lies up there decimated today.
Copy !req
628. We thought we'd pay you a little visit, Irene.
Copy !req
629. Unless it's inconvenient?
Copy !req
630. Inconvenient? Whatever gave you that idea?
Copy !req
631. Mr Vandergelder thought he saw two
customers in the shop. Two, uh, men?
Copy !req
632. Men? In a ladies' hat shop?
Copy !req
633. Come, let's go into my workroom.
I'm so eager for you to see it.
Copy !req
634. - I've already seen it twice.
- But I need your advice.
Copy !req
635. Advice from Mr Vandergelder. The whole
city should hear this and grow rich.
Copy !req
636. Advice is cheap. It's what comes
gift-wrapped that counts.
Copy !req
637. - I have never heard it put more beautifully.
- Thank you, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
638. Chocolate-covered peanuts. Unshelled.
They're the expensive kind.
Copy !req
639. - Why don't we open them in the workroom?
- I've come here today
Copy !req
640. because I've important
business to discuss with you,
Copy !req
641. just as soon as Mrs Levi says goodbye.
Copy !req
642. Pay no attention to me. I'm just browsing.
Copy !req
643. Business, Mr Vandergelder?
The hay and feed business?
Copy !req
644. - Well, not exactly.
- A new hat shop in Yonkers?
Copy !req
645. I hear it's a very beautiful city
and quite historic, according...
Copy !req
646. Yes, go on. Who's been telling you
about Yonkers, may I ask?
Copy !req
647. Nobody. A friend.
Copy !req
648. What friend?
Copy !req
649. Well, you see, he...
Copy !req
650. - He?
- Yes, uh... he...
Copy !req
651. - His name, Miss Molloy?
- What?
Copy !req
652. His name?
Copy !req
653. Oh, I believe it was... is...
Mr Cornelius Hackl of Yonkers.
Copy !req
654. - Cornelius Hackl?
- Yes. Do you know him?
Copy !req
655. - He's my head clerk.
- He is?
Copy !req
656. He's been with me for ten years.
Where would you have known him?
Copy !req
657. Ah, just one of those chance meetings.
Copy !req
658. Yes, oh, yes, one of those chance meetings.
Copy !req
659. Chance meetings? Cornelius Hackl has
no right to chance meetings. Where was it?
Copy !req
660. Really, it's very unlike you
to question me in such a way.
Copy !req
661. Well, the truth might as well
come out now as later.
Copy !req
662. Your head clerk is
better known than you think.
Copy !req
663. Nonsense.
Copy !req
664. He's here all the time. He goes everywhere.
Copy !req
665. He's well-liked. Everybody
knows Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
666. He never comes here. He works all day and
then goes to sleep in the bran room at nine.
Copy !req
667. - So you think, but it's not true.
- Dolly Levi, you are mistaken.
Copy !req
668. Horace Vandergelder,
Copy !req
669. you keep your nose so deep in your
accounts you don't know what goes on.
Copy !req
670. By day, Cornelius Hackl
is your faithful, trusted clerk,
Copy !req
671. but by night... oh, by night...
He leads a double life, that is all.
Copy !req
672. Why, he is... why, he's...
why, he's here... at the opera.
Copy !req
673. At the great restaurants,
in all the fashionable homes.
Copy !req
674. He's even at the Harmonia Gardens
three times a week.
Copy !req
675. The fact is, Mr Vandergelder, he is
the wittiest, the gayest, the naughtiest,
Copy !req
676. most delightful man in New York City.
He's the famous Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
677. It ain't the same man. If I thought Cornelius
Hackl came to New York, I'd discharge him.
Copy !req
678. Who took the horses out of Jenny Lind's
carriage and pulled her through the streets?
Copy !req
679. Who dressed up as a waiter and took
an oyster and dropped it right down?
Copy !req
680. - It's too wicked. I can't say it.
- Say it!
Copy !req
681. - No, but it was Cornelius Hackl.
- Where'd he get the money?
Copy !req
682. - Oh, he's very rich.
- Rich? I keep his money in my old safe.
Copy !req
683. He has $145.36
Copy !req
684. Oh, you are killing me.
He is one of the Hackls.
Copy !req
685. - The Hackls?
- Yes, they built the Raritan Canal.
Copy !req
686. - Then why work for me?
- Well, I'll tell ya.
Copy !req
687. I don't wanna hear it. I have
a headache. It ain't the same man.
Copy !req
688. He sleeps in my bran room.
I just made him my chief clerk.
Copy !req
689. If you had sense, you'd make him a partner.
Irene, I can see you're quite taken with him.
Copy !req
690. But I only met him once.
Copy !req
691. Now, don't you be thinking of marrying him.
Copy !req
692. - Darling, what are you saying?
- He breaks hearts like hickory nuts.
Copy !req
693. - Who?
- Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
694. Miss Molloy, how long
has he been calling on you?
Copy !req
695. Mr Vandergelder, suppose I were to tell you
that he has not been calling on me?
Copy !req
696. - Excuse me.
- Not now, Minnie.
Copy !req
697. - Aaagh!
- Stop singing.
Copy !req
698. - There's a man!
- That's not amusing.
Copy !req
699. And we don't wish to be interrupted.
Copy !req
700. Go back to the workroom
immediately. Immediately.
Copy !req
701. - The poor dear is tired from overwork.
- If there's a man in there, we'll get him out!
Copy !req
702. - Whoever you are, come out of there!
- Do you realise what you're saying?
Copy !req
703. - I certainly do.
- Now just a minute.
Copy !req
704. Before you make another move or say
another word that you might regret,
Copy !req
705. - allow me.
- Dolly.
Copy !req
706. Stand back.
Copy !req
707. There, you see? So much for this nonsense
about that darling girl hiding a man in there.
Copy !req
708. I think we'll just forget
you ever said it. It's forgotten.
Copy !req
709. Because there's nobody in there.
Copy !req
710. - Atchoo!
- God bless you.
Copy !req
711. Miss Molloy?
Copy !req
712. Yes, Mr Vandergelder,
there is a man in there.
Copy !req
713. - I see.
- There also happens to be an explanation.
Copy !req
714. For the present, I think I should just thank
you for your visit and say good afternoon.
Copy !req
715. Atchoo!
Copy !req
716. - Another?
- Another.
Copy !req
717. Good Lord, the whole room is crawling
with men. Irene, darling, congratulations.
Copy !req
718. Miss Molloy, I shan't trouble you
again. And I hope vice versa.
Copy !req
719. Horace, where are you going?
Copy !req
720. To march in the 14th Street parade
with the kind of people I can trust.
Copy !req
721. 700 men.
Copy !req
722. Shut up!
Copy !req
723. Now.
Copy !req
724. - Have you met Miss Minnie Fay?
- Leave my shop or I'll call Officer Gogarty.
Copy !req
725. Irene, there's no fun in the jailhouse.
Copy !req
726. Everybody, don't talk at once.
Copy !req
727. - Just because you're rich...
- Don't deny it.
Copy !req
728. Doesn't mean you shouldn't
make up for this.
Copy !req
729. - We'll do anything.
- This is Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
730. - We've already met. How do you do?
- Jail is absolutely out.
Copy !req
731. - Cornelius, explain to her.
- I'm Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
732. - It seems to me...
- Yes, the only way to make up for it...
Copy !req
733. Irene, send for the law at once.
Copy !req
734. You can have them put away
for years on a charge like this.
Copy !req
735. Help, police! Only,
have dinner with them first.
Copy !req
736. That's to show that
you tried to settle amicably.
Copy !req
737. That's how to do it.
Dinner first, life imprisonment later.
Copy !req
738. It'll be a lovely evening. Who knows what'll
happen before you send them off to jail?
Copy !req
739. - Mr Hackl?
- Oh, by all means.
Copy !req
740. - It's what we had in mind all along.
- Minnie, we've been respectable for years.
Copy !req
741. Now we're in disgrace,
we might as well make the most of it.
Copy !req
742. - It is the only sensible thing to do.
- Cornelius...
Copy !req
743. Now, I know a doughnut shop in the station.
Copy !req
744. Doughnut shop? Certainly not.
Copy !req
745. We want a fine dinner in a fashionable place.
Copy !req
746. And I know just the place.
The Harmonia Gardens on 14th Street.
Copy !req
747. - Your favourite restaurant.
- Wait a minute...
Copy !req
748. The finest food that money can buy and a
lovely orchestra. A polka contest tonight.
Copy !req
749. - Ooh, dancing.
- Rudolph will give you the best table.
Copy !req
750. - We could never go there.
- It sounds marvellous.
Copy !req
751. Come, Minnie. We'll close the shop
and take the whole afternoon off.
Copy !req
752. Oh, I mean, we could never...
Copy !req
753. Don't misunderstand me,
it isn't the money or anything...
Copy !req
754. It's the... the...
Copy !req
755. What, Mr Hackl?
Copy !req
756. It's the dancing. You see, I don't know how.
Copy !req
757. And they have contests
at the Harmonia... whatever it is.
Copy !req
758. You said so yourself, and I don't know how.
It would take weeks, months, years to learn.
Copy !req
759. "Mrs Dolly Levi. 283/4-year-old
chief clerks taught how to d..."
Copy !req
760. Now, you just put one arm
here and one arm there.
Copy !req
761. It's no use. I have no sense of rhythm.
Copy !req
762. Absolutely no sense of rhythm
Copy !req
763. is the primary requirement
for learning by the Levi method.
Copy !req
764. Just give me five minutes.
I'll have you dancing in the streets.
Copy !req
765. I think we'll start with lesson seven:
The waltz kick turn.
Copy !req
766. Right foot, touch, left foot, touch,
under, back, around, touch.
Copy !req
767. Back, through, around, behind.
Out, over... release... unfurl!
Copy !req
768. Oh, oh, that's just
absolutely wonderful, Mr Hackl.
Copy !req
769. When I think of the lucky women
who'll find heaven in your arms!
Copy !req
770. I think we'll go back to lesson one, shall we?
Copy !req
771. Put your hand on her waist
Copy !req
772. and stand,
Copy !req
773. with her right in your left hand.
Copy !req
774. And...
Copy !req
775. One. That's right.
Copy !req
776. And one, two, three.
Copy !req
777. Ah!
Copy !req
778. One, two, three.
Copy !req
779. Oh, no. This one. And one, two, three.
Copy !req
780. One, two, three.
Copy !req
781. Look! I'm dancing!
Copy !req
782. - I was.
- Of course you were, Mr Hackl.
Copy !req
783. Take the someone whose arms you're in
Copy !req
784. Hold on to her tight
Copy !req
785. And spin
Copy !req
786. And one, two, three
Copy !req
787. One, two, three
Copy !req
788. Look! I'm dancing!
Copy !req
789. Ah! Come here.
Copy !req
790. Turn around and turn around,
try floating through the air
Copy !req
791. Can't you be a little more aesthetic?
Copy !req
792. Don't you think my dancing
has a polish and a flair?
Copy !req
793. The word I think I'd use is athletic.
Copy !req
794. Well, my heart is about to burst
Copy !req
795. My head is about to pop
Copy !req
796. And now that I'm dancing
who cares if I ever stop?
Copy !req
797. That's wonderful.
Copy !req
798. Look, everybody!
I, Cornelius Hackl, sport, I'm dancing!
Copy !req
799. You're next, Mr Tucker.
Copy !req
800. Glide and step
Copy !req
801. And then step and glide
Copy !req
802. And everyone stand aside!
Copy !req
803. Not... not yet, Mr Tucker. One, two, three.
One, two, three. One, two, three, one...
Copy !req
804. - Look! He's dancing!
- I think he's holdin' out on us.
Copy !req
805. You could learn to polka
if you worked a week or so
Copy !req
806. Or the tango filled with passion seething
Copy !req
807. I might join the chorus
of the Castle Garden show
Copy !req
808. Whatever you do, Mr Tucker,
keep breathing.
Copy !req
809. For my heart is about to burst
Copy !req
810. My head is about to pop
Copy !req
811. And now that we're dancing
who cares if we ever stop?
Copy !req
812. Oh.
Copy !req
813. When there's someone you hardly know
Copy !req
814. And wish you were closer to
Copy !req
815. Remember that he can be
near to you while you're dancing
Copy !req
816. Though you've only just said hello
Copy !req
817. She's suddenly someone who
can make all your daydreams appear to you
Copy !req
818. While you're dancing
Copy !req
819. Make the music weave a spell
Copy !req
820. Whirl away your worry
Copy !req
821. Things look almost twice as well
Copy !req
822. When they're slightly blurry
Copy !req
823. As around and around you go
Copy !req
824. Your spirits will hit the top
Copy !req
825. And now that we're dancing
who cares if we ever stop?
Copy !req
826. One, two, three. One, two, three.
One, two, three. One, two, three
Copy !req
827. And now that we're dancing
who cares if we ever stop?
Copy !req
828. Dolly!
Copy !req
829. Dolly, Cornelius is taking us to see
the parade. Everyone will be marching.
Copy !req
830. - Come on, Mrs Levi.
- Dolly, the world is full of wonderful things.
Copy !req
831. Hurry, before the parade passes by!
Copy !req
832. Yes, I will. I will.
Copy !req
833. Before the parade passes by.
Copy !req
834. Before it all moves on
Copy !req
835. And only I'm left
Copy !req
836. Before the parade passes by
Copy !req
837. I've got to get in step
Copy !req
838. While there's still time left
Copy !req
839. I'm ready to move out in front
Copy !req
840. Life without life has no reason or rhyme left
Copy !req
841. With the rest of them
Copy !req
842. With the best of them
Copy !req
843. I wanna hold my head up high
Copy !req
844. I need a goal again
Copy !req
845. I need a drive again
Copy !req
846. I wanna feel my heart coming alive again
Copy !req
847. Before the parade
Copy !req
848. Passes by
Copy !req
849. Ephraim, let me go.
Copy !req
850. It's been long enough, Ephraim.
Copy !req
851. Every night, just like you'd want me to, I've
put out the cat, made myself a rum toddy,
Copy !req
852. and, before I went to bed, said a little prayer
thanking God that I was independent.
Copy !req
853. That no one else's life
was mixed up with mine.
Copy !req
854. But lately, Ephraim,
Copy !req
855. I've begun to realise that
Copy !req
856. for a long time I have not shed one tear.
Copy !req
857. Nor have I been for one moment
Copy !req
858. outrageously happy.
Copy !req
859. Now, Horace Vandergelder, he's always
saying the world is full of fools.
Copy !req
860. And in a way, he's right, isn't he?
I mean, himself, Cornelius, Irene, myself...
Copy !req
861. But there comes a time when you've got to
decide if you want to be a fool among fools,
Copy !req
862. or a fool alone.
Copy !req
863. Well, I have made that decision, Ephraim,
Copy !req
864. but I would feel so much better about it
if... if you could just give me a sign,
Copy !req
865. any kind of a sign that you approve.
Copy !req
866. I'm going back, Ephraim.
Copy !req
867. I've decided to join the human race again.
Copy !req
868. And, Ephraim, I want you to give me away.
Copy !req
869. Before the parade passes by
Copy !req
870. I've got to go and taste Saturday's high life
Copy !req
871. Before the parade passes by
Copy !req
872. I've got to get some life back into my life
Copy !req
873. I'm ready to move out in front
Copy !req
874. I've had enough of just passing by life
Copy !req
875. With the rest of them
Copy !req
876. With the best of them
Copy !req
877. I can hold my head up high
Copy !req
878. For I've got a goal again
Copy !req
879. I've got a drive again
Copy !req
880. I'm gonna feel my heart coming alive again
Copy !req
881. Before the parade
Copy !req
882. Passes by
Copy !req
883. Waah! Waah!
Copy !req
884. Present arms!
Copy !req
885. Dolly Levi!
Copy !req
886. Hi!
Copy !req
887. Gussie Granger?
Copy !req
888. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
889. Earning an honest dollar,
which is more than I've made
Copy !req
890. on a legitimate stage in two years.
Copy !req
891. Pity on you. But the meat packers' float?
Copy !req
892. Ha! Listen, if there was more money
in it, I'd play one of the pigs.
Copy !req
893. I came here for some privacy.
Copy !req
894. I owe you an apology and I didn't
want to let it go another minute.
Copy !req
895. You owe me the fee I gave you
Copy !req
896. for getting me tangled up
with that collector of men's hats.
Copy !req
897. Yes, Irene, she was
a disappointment, darling girl.
Copy !req
898. I'll have you know the confectioner
gave me back every cent for the peanuts.
Copy !req
899. I'm sorry. I never give cash refunds.
Copy !req
900. However, being a woman who believes
in giving service that's been paid for,
Copy !req
901. - I've arranged to make it up to you.
- Let me make one thing clear.
Copy !req
902. You have been discharged as my
marriage broker. I have no use for one.
Copy !req
903. From now on, you are just
a woman like anyone else.
Copy !req
904. - I am?
- And I'm just a man like anyone else,
Copy !req
905. and, like anyone else, I'll do what I can
to avoid the introductions you specialise in.
Copy !req
906. Well, I can understand your feelings,
and I am here today, marching beside you,
Copy !req
907. to assure you that there will be no further
need for my services after dinner tonight.
Copy !req
908. - Dinner?
- 7.30 at the Harmonia Gardens.
Copy !req
909. It's all arranged.
Private room. She'll be waiting.
Copy !req
910. - Who? Who-who-who'll be waiting?
- Who-who-who'll be waiting?
Copy !req
911. The very rich,
very beautiful lady I referred to
Copy !req
912. when I saw you in Yonkers this morning.
Copy !req
913. The heiress to a fortune, remember?
Copy !req
914. I'm not interested. What's her name?
Copy !req
915. Uh... Ernestina.
Copy !req
916. I'm not interested. What's her last name?
Copy !req
917. Simple... uh, Simple. Ernestina Simple.
Copy !req
918. - Can she cook?
- Can she cook?
Copy !req
919. Frankly, I never understood why a girl
who could afford every servant around
Copy !req
920. makes all her own meals,
on a solid gold stove.
Copy !req
921. - She's a fool. I'm not interested in fools.
- Neither am I. Good day.
Copy !req
922. - Good day.
- Don't forget. 7.30, Harmonia Gardens.
Copy !req
923. And rent some evening clothes. She's fussy.
Copy !req
924. Dolly Levi, you are
a damned exasperating woman!
Copy !req
925. Why, Horace Vandergelder, that is
the nicest thing you have ever said to me.
Copy !req
926. When the parade passes by
Copy !req
927. Listen and hear
that brass harmony growing
Copy !req
928. When the parade passes by
Copy !req
929. Pardon me if my old spirit is showing
Copy !req
930. All of those lights over there
Copy !req
931. Seem to be telling me where I'm going
Copy !req
932. When the whistles blow
Copy !req
933. And the cymbals crash
Copy !req
934. And the sparklers light the sky
Copy !req
935. I'm gonna raise the roof
Copy !req
936. I'm gonna carry on
Copy !req
937. Give me an old trombone
Copy !req
938. Give me an old baton
Copy !req
939. Before the parade
Copy !req
940. Passes by
Copy !req
941. Cornelius, are you sure
they're just changing their clothes?
Copy !req
942. - Don't worry, they'll be here.
- I get dressed in less than three minutes.
Copy !req
943. - Women wear more.
- They do?
Copy !req
944. Underneath.
Copy !req
945. Cornelius, maybe we should
leave while there's time.
Copy !req
946. - Never.
- We've seen everything.
Copy !req
947. The parade, the Statue of Liberty,
the stuffed whale at Barnum's museum.
Copy !req
948. - I could die a happy man now.
- It'll be worth it, no matter what happens.
Copy !req
949. The worst anybody can do is put us in jail.
Copy !req
950. But as long as we live we'll never forget
Copy !req
951. the night we took Irene Molloy and
Minnie Fay to dinner at Harmonia Gardens,
Copy !req
952. - on less than a dollar.
- Cornelius, wake up.
Copy !req
953. And there's another reason
we can't go back.
Copy !req
954. One more thing we promised to do
Copy !req
955. before we go and turn into
a couple of Vandergelders.
Copy !req
956. Cornelius! You're not thinking
of kissing Miss Molloy?
Copy !req
957. - Maybe.
- She'll scream.
Copy !req
958. Barnaby, you don't know
anything about women.
Copy !req
959. - Only that we can't afford 'em.
- You should know that everyone except us
Copy !req
960. goes through life
kissing right and left all the time.
Copy !req
961. They do?
Copy !req
962. Yes.
Copy !req
963. I often wondered about that.
Copy !req
964. - Smile, Barnaby.
- I'm smiling.
Copy !req
965. - Look rich and gay and charming.
- I'm looking gay and charming.
Copy !req
966. Hello.
Copy !req
967. - Here we are.
- Hello.
Copy !req
968. Cornelius.
Copy !req
969. Haa... I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Molloy.
Copy !req
970. No last names. After all we've been through
together this afternoon,
Copy !req
971. it's Irene and Minnie.
Copy !req
972. Irene.
Copy !req
973. - Ohh...
- Ohhh...
Copy !req
974. - Does that count, Cornelius?
- I don't think so.
Copy !req
975. Count?
Copy !req
976. You see, we were counting here,
while we were waiting.
Copy !req
977. I hear all rich people do nothing
but count their money.
Copy !req
978. I'm so hungry. Why don't we go in here
and have some hors d'oeuvres first?
Copy !req
979. - No, no, no.
- It's very fashionable.
Copy !req
980. - It would spoil our appetites.
- Or we could have an apéritif.
Copy !req
981. It's out of the question. Barnaby and I
don't agree with that sort of thing.
Copy !req
982. - But all those people do.
- Well, they simply don't know that a...
Copy !req
983. a... péritif is no longer considered elegant.
Copy !req
984. - Oh, it isn't?
- Hasn't been for years.
Copy !req
985. In that case, it's on to Harmonia
Gardens for dinner. Call a hack.
Copy !req
986. - Hack?
- All my life I've wanted to ride in a hack.
Copy !req
987. - Oh, there's one. Yoo-hoo!
- No, no. We can't do that.
Copy !req
988. I mean, it isn't the money or anything
Copy !req
989. it's just that, nowadays, really
elegant people never take hacks.
Copy !req
990. - Hacks is out.
- They all go by streetcar.
Copy !req
991. Then, by all means, we go by streetcar.
Copy !req
992. I've been elegant all my life
and I never knew it.
Copy !req
993. Of course, if you really want
to be really elegant...
Copy !req
994. - Oh, we do.
- We do.
Copy !req
995. You'll walk.
Copy !req
996. Yes, New York
Copy !req
997. It's really us: Barnaby and Cornelius
Copy !req
998. All the guests of Mr Hackl
are feeling great and look spectacular
Copy !req
999. What a knack
Copy !req
1000. There is to that acting like a born aristocrat
Copy !req
1001. We got elegance
Copy !req
1002. If you ain't got elegance
Copy !req
1003. You can never, ever carry it off
Copy !req
1004. All who are well-bred agree
Copy !req
1005. Minnie Fay has pedigree
Copy !req
1006. Exercise your wildest whims tonight
Copy !req
1007. We are out with Diamond Jims tonight
Copy !req
1008. Could they be misleading us?
Copy !req
1009. Silver spoons were used for feeding us
Copy !req
1010. We got elegance
Copy !req
1011. If you ain't got elegance
Copy !req
1012. You can never, ever carry it off
Copy !req
1013. Snobs that slobs
Copy !req
1014. Throw roses at. We look down
Copy !req
1015. Our noses at
Copy !req
1016. Pity all the other girls around
Copy !req
1017. When I swing my perfect pearls around
Copy !req
1018. Snubbing folks is chic to us
Copy !req
1019. Sometimes we don't even speak to us
Copy !req
1020. If you ain't got elegance
Copy !req
1021. You can never, ever carry it off
Copy !req
1022. If you please.
Copy !req
1023. Middle class don't speak of it
Copy !req
1024. Savoir-faire, we reek of it
Copy !req
1025. Some were born with rags and patches
Copy !req
1026. But we use dollar bills for matches and
Copy !req
1027. Vanderbilt kowtows to us
Copy !req
1028. JP Morgan scrapes and bows to us
Copy !req
1029. We got elegance
Copy !req
1030. We were born with elegance
Copy !req
1031. I behave like Walter Raleigh
Copy !req
1032. When the streets are full of mud
Copy !req
1033. And the bluest huckleberry
Copy !req
1034. Isn't bluer than my blood
Copy !req
1035. Have you noticed when I hold my cup
Copy !req
1036. The saucer never moves
Copy !req
1037. And the way I keep my pinkie up
Copy !req
1038. Indubitably proves that
Copy !req
1039. We got elegance
Copy !req
1040. We got built-in elegance
Copy !req
1041. And with elegance
Copy !req
1042. Elegance, elegance, elegance
Copy !req
1043. Elegance
Copy !req
1044. We'll carry it off
Copy !req
1045. Horace, Horace Vandergelder
Copy !req
1046. Mrs Horace Vandergelder
Copy !req
1047. Just leave everything to me
Copy !req
1048. Though it won't be like the first time
Copy !req
1049. How can it be like the first time?
Copy !req
1050. But why does it have to be?
Copy !req
1051. Don't look for shooting stars
Copy !req
1052. For love is only love
Copy !req
1053. You touch, and still you touch the ground
Copy !req
1054. Don't listen for those bells
Copy !req
1055. For love is only love
Copy !req
1056. And if it's love you've found
Copy !req
1057. Your heart won't hear a sound
Copy !req
1058. And when you hold his hand
Copy !req
1059. You only hold his hand
Copy !req
1060. The violins are all a bluff
Copy !req
1061. But if you're really wise
Copy !req
1062. The silence of his eyes
Copy !req
1063. Will tell you love is only love
Copy !req
1064. And it's wonderful enough
Copy !req
1065. Without the shooting stars
Copy !req
1066. Without the sound of bells
Copy !req
1067. Without the violins
Copy !req
1068. Love is wonderful
Copy !req
1069. Enough
Copy !req
1070. Good evening. Good evening.
Copy !req
1071. Straighten up. Walk erect.
Copy !req
1072. Pleasure. Good evening.
Copy !req
1073. How nice to see you.
Copy !req
1074. Psst! No expression. Let the food smile.
Copy !req
1075. And how are you this evening?
Copy !req
1076. Charming, charming.
Copy !req
1077. You! You there!
Copy !req
1078. Come up here at once.
Copy !req
1079. Yes, you.
Copy !req
1080. How dare you keep me
standing here this long?
Copy !req
1081. As soon as Mr Vandergelder arrives,
you will be seated, Miss Simple.
Copy !req
1082. Now look here, garçon.
Copy !req
1083. My name is Rudolph. Rudolph Reisenweber.
Copy !req
1084. And why, may I ask,
can I not wait at the table?
Copy !req
1085. Please. Please.
Copy !req
1086. Harmonia Gardens does not
consider it proper, a lady alone.
Copy !req
1087. - Perhaps if you'll let me take your wrap.
- Ohh! Don't touch me.
Copy !req
1088. Where?
Copy !req
1089. - If you will excuse me.
- Certainly not.
Copy !req
1090. Yes? What can I do for you?
Copy !req
1091. How are ya, Adolf? How's my old friend?
Copy !req
1092. - I am Rudolph.
- Oh, of course.
Copy !req
1093. Rudolph.
Copy !req
1094. We'd like a little something
to eat. You know?
Copy !req
1095. In what name is the reservation, please?
Copy !req
1096. - Reservation?
- I'm afraid there is nothing available.
Copy !req
1097. - Come on, let's go.
- Do you know who he is?
Copy !req
1098. This is Cornelius Hackl. The Cornelius Hackl.
Copy !req
1099. - Tell him about the Rockefellers.
- The Rockefellers? I see.
Copy !req
1100. Look, I know a little place up the block.
Copy !req
1101. I think I have something. Yes, I think
I have something. Follow me, if you will.
Copy !req
1102. Dining room number two.
Copy !req
1103. - It is the last one. Very private.
- It is?
Copy !req
1104. - Very exclusive.
- It is?
Copy !req
1105. - Very fashionable.
- Don't say another word.
Copy !req
1106. And very expensive.
Copy !req
1107. That was the word.
Copy !req
1108. - How beautiful!
- How elegant!
Copy !req
1109. How much?
Copy !req
1110. Cornelius, I thought you said
everyone knew you.
Copy !req
1111. Oh, don't worry. They will after tonight.
Copy !req
1112. She is? She is? I don't believe it!
Copy !req
1113. Eight o'clock, table for two, and a chicken.
Copy !req
1114. Mrs Dolly Levi coming here
after such a long absence!
Copy !req
1115. It is too happy to be true.
Copy !req
1116. That's the message she told me to give you.
Copy !req
1117. Who? Who are these people?
Copy !req
1118. They look truthful.
Copy !req
1119. If you're gonna spend all evening acting
like a scared rabbit, maybe I'll order lettuce.
Copy !req
1120. Oh, how can you be so brave? It's unfair.
Copy !req
1121. Just try to keep remembering
Mrs Levi's advice.
Copy !req
1122. I only wanted to marry you,
not perform in public.
Copy !req
1123. - There's nobody here who knows us.
- Oh, Ambrose, are you sure?
Copy !req
1124. Sweetheart, have I ever been wrong?
Copy !req
1125. Sir?
Copy !req
1126. - Vandergelder's the name.
- Yes, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1127. There's a Miss Ernestina Simple
supposed to be waiting.
Copy !req
1128. Right there, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1129. No, you didn't understand what I said...
Copy !req
1130. But perfectly. Mr Vandergelder
is here, Miss Simple.
Copy !req
1131. Yes, so I see.
Copy !req
1132. - Oh, good evening, Miss Simple.
- I hope so, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1133. - All right, my good man.
- Fritz, private dining room number one.
Copy !req
1134. - Follow me, if you will.
- You may take my arm.
Copy !req
1135. And, unless you are suffering from
a head cold, kindly remove your hat.
Copy !req
1136. Achtung!
Copy !req
1137. I have an important announcement to make.
Copy !req
1138. After an absence of several years, there will
return to the Harmonia Gardens tonight
Copy !req
1139. the lady who always had
the happiest smile, the warmest heart,
Copy !req
1140. and the largest appetite
in the city of New York.
Copy !req
1141. - It's Dolly.
- Dolly?
Copy !req
1142. - Dolly!
- Dolly! Dolly! Dolly! Dolly! Dolly!
Copy !req
1143. Attention!
Copy !req
1144. It is therefore my order, as head waiter
of the Harmonia Gardens,
Copy !req
1145. and your supreme commander,
Copy !req
1146. that tonight of all nights our usual lightning
service will be twice as lightning as ever.
Copy !req
1147. Or else!
Copy !req
1148. Waiter, write this down. Mock turtle soup,
roast pheasant under glass.
Copy !req
1149. - Pheasant?
- I'll have the same, and some champagne.
Copy !req
1150. - Champagne?
- What would you like, sir?
Copy !req
1151. Six months off for good behaviour?
Copy !req
1152. What do you mean,
"oysters aren't in season"?
Copy !req
1153. Anybody can have oysters in season.
I want them out of season.
Copy !req
1154. They don't have any, Miss Simple.
Copy !req
1155. Then tell 'em to go out and dig for some.
Copy !req
1156. Oh!
Copy !req
1157. - Hello again.
- Here we are.
Copy !req
1158. - We thought something happened.
- Don't worry. It will.
Copy !req
1159. Barnaby, Irene, Minnie,
Copy !req
1160. I feel so good about everything,
Copy !req
1161. so good about this whole day,
Copy !req
1162. that I am now going to become
an honest man and tell the truth.
Copy !req
1163. Cornelius?
Copy !req
1164. I'd forgotten what strange things
happen to men when they drink.
Copy !req
1165. If I tell you the truth, will you let me
put my arm around your waist?
Copy !req
1166. Good heavens! You can do that
even if you lie to me.
Copy !req
1167. I've never touched a woman before.
Copy !req
1168. You still haven't. That's my corset.
Copy !req
1169. - You're a wonderful person, Irene.
- Thank you, Cornelius.
Copy !req
1170. And that's why I have to tell you the truth.
Copy !req
1171. If it'll make you feel better.
Copy !req
1172. It's all those fancy things
that Mrs Levi said about me.
Copy !req
1173. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
1174. Well, they're just not so.
Copy !req
1175. Indeed?
Copy !req
1176. Irene, I'm not rich.
Copy !req
1177. Not rich?
Copy !req
1178. I'm not any of the things
Mrs Levi said I was.
Copy !req
1179. And neither is Barnaby. We're not
sports, we don't know anybody.
Copy !req
1180. We never come to New York.
We never do anything
Copy !req
1181. except work for Mr Vandergelder all day
and clean up the store at night.
Copy !req
1182. And we wanted so much
to have one day of adventure,
Copy !req
1183. that we ran away from Yonkers
and told a lot of lies.
Copy !req
1184. Ah, well, look at us.
Copy !req
1185. A pair of penniless pretenders.
Copy !req
1186. But, Cornelius, I've known that all along.
Copy !req
1187. You have?
Copy !req
1188. Why else would you have hidden
in my cupboard and under my table?
Copy !req
1189. And made us walk all over New York?
Copy !req
1190. You're the nicest ladies
a man ever went to jail for.
Copy !req
1191. Jail?
Copy !req
1192. We don't have the money
to pay for this dinner.
Copy !req
1193. Of course you don't. Minnie, show these
two sports what I've got in my purse.
Copy !req
1194. What a pleasure to know that
selling all those silly hats
Copy !req
1195. can pay for an evening
as delightful as this one.
Copy !req
1196. I can't help myself.
Copy !req
1197. Wow!
Copy !req
1198. I...
Copy !req
1199. No, no, Minnie, my white
handbag, not that one.
Copy !req
1200. - My white handbag.
- When we changed for the evening.
Copy !req
1201. Minnie...
Copy !req
1202. Only my mad money...
a nickel for the horsecar.
Copy !req
1203. Would you like your check now, sir?
Copy !req
1204. Take this away, my good man.
Bring us another bottle of champagne.
Copy !req
1205. - What's this? What are you doing?
- It's eight o'clock. I really must be going.
Copy !req
1206. Going? You haven't finished
your dinner yet, Miss Simple.
Copy !req
1207. That's expensive.
If I had food like that every night,
Copy !req
1208. I'd be out of business inside a year.
Copy !req
1209. I suggest you have the waiter put it in a bag
and take it home to your horses and pigs.
Copy !req
1210. I don't have pigs, Miss Simple,
I have chickens,
Copy !req
1211. and I did not get them
by being extravagant.
Copy !req
1212. I see no point in this trivial
discussion, Mr Vandergelder,
Copy !req
1213. nor in my remaining here any longer,
Copy !req
1214. inasmuch as it is quite clear to me that
you are, if you forgive the expression,
Copy !req
1215. - entirely unsuitable.
- Unsuitable?
Copy !req
1216. Nevertheless, I will never say a word to
Mrs Levi about this unfortunate evening.
Copy !req
1217. And I suggest you do likewise
when she arrives here.
Copy !req
1218. Wait a minute.
Did you say "arrives here"?
Copy !req
1219. Yes, she planned to join us at eight.
Copy !req
1220. You may say I left
because I felt sick to my stomach.
Copy !req
1221. It's quite true, you know.
Copy !req
1222. Good night.
Copy !req
1223. Any man who goes to a big city
deserves what happens to him.
Copy !req
1224. - He's all yours, honey.
- Good. Mr Cassidy?
Copy !req
1225. - Yes, Mrs Levi?
- It's all right now. You can let me out.
Copy !req
1226. Whoa.
Copy !req
1227. - Mr Reisenweber, come here! Hurry!
- How often have I told you not to shout?
Copy !req
1228. - It's her. She's outside.
- You mean?
Copy !req
1229. - What's going on?
- Are you sure?
Copy !req
1230. I know that voice. I heard her.
In a beautiful carriage with two horses.
Copy !req
1231. - That's her. She's come.
- Who? Who's come?
Copy !req
1232. A lady. You wouldn't know her. Mrs Levi.
Copy !req
1233. - Is it true?
- Yes, it's Dolly. Tell the men to get ready.
Copy !req
1234. - You saw her?
- In a long carriage pulled by four horses.
Copy !req
1235. It's like old times.
Copy !req
1236. Reisenweber. Rudolph!
Copy !req
1237. Rudy!
Copy !req
1238. She is here.
Copy !req
1239. Hello, Rudy
Copy !req
1240. Well, hello, Harry
Copy !req
1241. It's so nice to be back home where I belong
Copy !req
1242. You are lookin' swell, Manny
Copy !req
1243. I can tell, Danny
Copy !req
1244. You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
Copy !req
1245. You're still
Copy !req
1246. Mmm.
Copy !req
1247. Goin' strong
Copy !req
1248. I feel the room swayin'
Copy !req
1249. For the band's playin'
Copy !req
1250. One of my old favourite songs
from way back when
Copy !req
1251. So
Copy !req
1252. Bridge that gap, fellas
Copy !req
1253. Find me an empty lap, fellas
Copy !req
1254. Dolly'll never go away again
Copy !req
1255. Hello, Dolly

Copy !req
1260. You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
Copy !req
1261. You're still goin' strong
Copy !req
1262. We feel the room swayin'
Copy !req
1263. For the band's playin'
Copy !req

Copy !req
1265. So

1266. Here's my hat, fellas
Copy !req
1267. I'm stayin' where I'm at, fellas
Copy !req
1268. Promise you'll never go away again
Copy !req
1269. I went away from the lights of 14th Street
Copy !req
1270. And into my personal haze
Copy !req
1271. But now that I'm back
in the lights of 14th Street
Copy !req
1272. Tomorrow will be brighter
than the good old days
Copy !req
1273. Those good old days
Copy !req
1274. Tell it to me sweet
Copy !req
1275. Hello! Well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1276. Well, hello! Hey, look! Here's Dolly
Copy !req
1277. Glad to see you, Hank,
let's thank my lucky star
Copy !req
1278. Your lucky star
Copy !req
1279. You're lookin' great, Stanley
Copy !req
1280. Lose some weight?
I think, I think you did, Stanley
Copy !req
1281. Dolly's overjoyed and overwhelmed and...
Copy !req
1282. Over par
Copy !req
1283. I hear the ice
Copy !req
1284. Do you hear the ice tinkle?
Copy !req
1285. See the lights
Copy !req
1286. Can you see the light twinkle?
Copy !req
1287. And you still get glances
from us handsome men
Copy !req
1288. Look at you all, you're all so handsome
Copy !req
1289. Golly, gee, fellas
Copy !req
1290. Find me an empty knee, fellas
Copy !req
1291. Dolly'll never go away again
Copy !req
1292. Well, hello
Copy !req

Copy !req
1295. This is Louis

Copy !req

where you belong
Copy !req
1299. I am so glad to be back.
Copy !req
1300. Ah, you're lookin' swell
Copy !req
1301. Thank you, Louis.
Copy !req
1302. Dolly
Copy !req

Copy !req
1304. Does it show?
Copy !req
1305. Dolly
Copy !req
1306. You still glowin', you still crowin'
Copy !req
1307. You still goin' strong
Copy !req
1308. I feel the room swayin'
Copy !req
1309. And the band playin'
Copy !req
1310. One of our old favourite songs
from way back when
Copy !req
1311. I remember it
Copy !req
1312. - So
- It was my favourite
Copy !req
1313. Show some snap, fellas
Copy !req
1314. Find her an empty lap, yeah
Copy !req
1315. Dolly'll never go away again
Copy !req
1316. Well, well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1317. Well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req

Copy !req
1321. You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
Copy !req
1322. You're still goin' strong
Copy !req
1323. I hear the ice
Copy !req
1324. I hear it tinkle
Copy !req
1325. See the lights
Copy !req
1326. I see them twinkle
Copy !req
1327. And you still get glances
from us handsome men
Copy !req
1328. So
Copy !req
1329. Mmm, wow, wow, wow, fellas

Copy !req
1333. One more time!
Copy !req
1334. Dolly'll never go away
Copy !req
1335. Dolly'll never...
Copy !req
1336. Horace Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1337. - Do we know each other?
- Much too well.
Copy !req
1338. Oh, it's you, Mrs Levi.
Copy !req
1339. Yes.
Copy !req
1340. Well, do you, uh?
Copy !req
1341. Do you think you have
the figure for that sort of get-up?
Copy !req
1342. That's for others to say, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1343. I bought it from a friend,
not being a rich lady
Copy !req
1344. who has nothing better to do than
dilly-dally with seamstresses.
Copy !req
1345. - Which reminds me. Where is Miss Simple?
- Miss Simple? Well, she had to... uh... uh...
Copy !req
1346. She got called away by
a sick friend. Had to leave.
Copy !req
1347. Oh. Well, that's Ernestina.
Always thinking of other people.
Copy !req
1348. We'll just have to make do without her
for the time being. Rudolph?
Copy !req
1349. My dear Mrs Levi, I have saved
the very best table for you.
Copy !req
1350. - How I've missed you.
- This way, please.
Copy !req
1351. - Come along.
- I've eaten.
Copy !req
1352. Don't stand here, you'll get run over
by a waiter. Oh, hello. Good evening.
Copy !req
1353. Oh, hello. How are you?
Hi, nice to see you.
Copy !req
1354. - You know too many people.
- Total strangers.
Copy !req
1355. - So why greet them?
- It feels good to have so many friends.
Copy !req
1356. - Well, say hello for me too.
- I already did.
Copy !req
1357. - Lovely, Rudolph. Perfect.
- What are we doing down here?
Copy !req
1358. There's someone in the dance
competition I want you to see.
Copy !req
1359. - I have no interest in dancing.
- Rudy, this is Mr Vandergelder of Yonkers.
Copy !req
1360. In fact, Yonkers' most influential citizen.
Copy !req
1361. And Mr Vandergelder insists on buying the
finest dinner you have and served promptly.
Copy !req
1362. - I never said that.
- I'm watching my waist. Can't eat a thing.
Copy !req
1363. - What's ready immediately?
- You ordered a chicken...
Copy !req
1364. I couldn't face a chicken.
Not after all I've been through today.
Copy !req
1365. - Good, cancel the chicken.
- And bring a turkey.
Copy !req
1366. - Yes.
- With everything on the side.
Copy !req
1367. Now, tell me about you and Ernestina.
Copy !req
1368. I can't wait to hear.
It was short, but was it sweet?
Copy !req
1369. I mean, do you think you and she?
I mean, did it go well?
Copy !req
1370. Mrs Levi, you've a habit of asking
very personal questions.
Copy !req
1371. Mr Vandergelder, if you're thinking
of marriage, you might as well learn
Copy !req
1372. that you have to let women be women.
Copy !req
1373. Now, tell me, did you like her?
Did she like you?
Copy !req
1374. Always putting your nose
into other people's affairs.
Copy !req
1375. Anybody who lived with you
would get as nervous as a cat.
Copy !req
1376. - What did you say?
- Anybody who lived with you...
Copy !req
1377. Horace Vandergelder, you get that idea
right out of your head this minute.
Copy !req
1378. Why, the idea of you
even mentioning such a thing.
Copy !req
1379. Understand once and for all that
I have no intention of marrying you.
Copy !req
1380. - I didn't mean that.
- You've been hinting around for some time.
Copy !req
1381. - I have not.
- So put that right out of your head.
Copy !req
1382. - Stop saying that. That's not what I meant.
- I should hope not.
Copy !req
1383. You go your way and I'll go mine.
Copy !req
1384. I am not some Irene Molloy whose head you
can turn with chocolate peanuts. Unshelled.
Copy !req
1385. - The idea of you suggesting it.
- You misunderstood me.
Copy !req
1386. I certainly hope so. Let's not
discuss it any more. Here's our food.
Copy !req
1387. - I don't feel well.
- I'll serve Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1388. Here is a lovely, a lovely wing, for you.
Copy !req
1389. And some dumplings.
Oh, lighter than air, they are.
Copy !req
1390. - That's what I need, some air.
- And some giblets.
Copy !req
1391. Very, very tender and very good for you.
Copy !req
1392. No, as I said before,
you go your way and I'll go mine.
Copy !req
1393. Here, have some wine, you'll feel better.
Copy !req
1394. Since you brought it up,
there's one thing I oughta say...
Copy !req
1395. - I didn't bring it up.
- Before we forget about it.
Copy !req
1396. It's true, I like to manage things, but not
anything as disorderly as your household.
Copy !req
1397. As out of control, as untidy. Oh, no,
Horace, you can do that for yourself.
Copy !req
1398. - It is not out of control.
- Let's not say another word.
Copy !req
1399. - Oh, have some beets.
- I'm not hungry and I don't like beets.
Copy !req
1400. No, a complaining, quarrelsome, friendless
soul like you is no sort of companion for me.
Copy !req
1401. You salt your beets and I'll salt mine.
I won't say another word.
Copy !req
1402. Besides, I'm not those things you said I am.
Copy !req
1403. You're the only person that knows it.
Copy !req
1404. No, Horace, I have decided to enjoy life.
Copy !req
1405. You can find a housekeeper
who'll cook for a dollar a day.
Copy !req
1406. It can be done, if you like cold
baked beans. I can see you now,
Copy !req
1407. ending your days listening at keyholes
for fear of being cheated.
Copy !req
1408. - Have some more beets. They're delicious.
- I hate beets.
Copy !req
1409. There, that's the difference between us.
Copy !req
1410. I'd be nagging you,
to get some spirit into you,
Copy !req
1411. and the pity of it is you could be
a charming, amiable man if you wanted to.
Copy !req
1412. - I don't want to be charming.
- But you are. You can't help yourself.
Copy !req
1413. Listening at keyholes! You have
no right to say such things.
Copy !req
1414. At your age you ought to enjoy the truth.
Copy !req
1415. My age, you're always talking about my age.
Copy !req
1416. I don't know what your age is, but with
bad temper you'll double it in six months.
Copy !req
1417. Now siddown. Before we change
the subject, there's one thing I'll say.
Copy !req
1418. I don't wanna hear it. You're wasting your
time. I have no intention of proposing.
Copy !req
1419. Oh! I suppose you want me to ask you?
Well, I'm sorry. I'm turning you down.
Copy !req
1420. How can you turn me down
when I haven't asked ya anything?
Copy !req
1421. It's no use arguing. I've made up your mind.
Here, let me cut your wings.
Copy !req
1422. - I don't want my wings cut.
- No man does, Horace. No man does.
Copy !req
1423. I've got a headache. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
1424. Oh, no, the dance competition
is about to begin.
Copy !req
1425. Ladies and gentlemen, if I may
have your attention please.
Copy !req
1426. It is my pleasure to announce on behalf of
the management of the Harmonia Gardens,
Copy !req
1427. that our dance contest
is about to commence.
Copy !req
1428. The judges for tonight's competition
are Mr Hermann Fleishacker,
Copy !req
1429. Mr Llewellyn Codd,
Copy !req
1430. and our special guest-of-honour
judge, Mrs Dolly Levi.
Copy !req
1431. Siddown!
Copy !req
1432. Ladies and gentlemen
who wish to participate,
Copy !req
1433. will you please come to the dance floor.
To the lucky winning couple
Copy !req
1434. goes the grand prize of 50 silver dollars
or an engagement at the Harmonia Gardens.
Copy !req
1435. 50.
Copy !req
1436. Everybody, dance!
Copy !req
1437. - Your check, sir.
- Another bottle of champagne.
Copy !req
1438. Mm! Look at him. What grace, what talent,
what a living he could earn with his feet!
Copy !req
1439. - Horace, look.
- Where?
Copy !req
1440. - Wait a minute.
- Oh, isn't he wonderful?
Copy !req
1441. That's Ambrose Kemper, so-called artist.
Copy !req
1442. - Why, so it is.
- No wonder his pictures are so awful.
Copy !req
1443. - He must paint with his feet.
- He's sure to win first prize.
Copy !req
1444. Ermengarde should see him now,
dancing with another girl.
Copy !req
1445. - And such a pretty little thing too.
- It's shameful, that's what it is. Shameful.
Copy !req
1446. Look, there's that Molloy
woman dancing with a man.
Copy !req
1447. I think it's a man.
Copy !req
1448. And only a few hours ago
she was waiting for me to propose.
Copy !req
1449. - Shocking.
- No faithfulness left in this world.
Copy !req
1450. I agree. I certainly do. And it's
very selfish that people like us
Copy !req
1451. don't jump right up and marry someone
just to set the world a good example.
Copy !req
1452. My hat!
Copy !req
1453. Ermengarde!
Copy !req
1454. - Uncle...
- My niece!
Copy !req
1455. Agh!
Copy !req
1456. You are a disgrace to Yonkers!
Copy !req
1457. Grrrr!
Copy !req
1458. - Mr Vandergelder, the contest!
- I'll show you a contest!
Copy !req
1459. Call the police!
Copy !req
1460. Uncle Horace, we can explain.
Copy !req
1461. Exp? I'll give you...
Copy !req
1462. Cornelius Hackl!
Copy !req
1463. - What are you doing in New York?
- Delivering some oats.
Copy !req
1464. Oats? With my former intended?
Copy !req
1465. - You're discharged!
- You can't fire me. I quit.
Copy !req
1466. So do I.
Copy !req
1467. - And you're discharged!
- You can't fire me. I quit.
Copy !req
1468. So do I.
Copy !req
1469. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1470. Grrr!
Copy !req
1471. Oh!
Copy !req
1472. Horace Vandergelder, flat on
your back you are still charming.
Copy !req
1473. Cornelius, Barnaby,
Copy !req
1474. perhaps there's a way I can get
Mr Vandergelder to give you back your jobs.
Copy !req
1475. What? How?
Copy !req
1476. I could become his wife.
Copy !req
1477. - No, that's impossible.
- It is?
Copy !req
1478. - Yes.
- But why, Cornelius?
Copy !req
1479. - Because. That's why.
- But you have to give me a reason.
Copy !req
1480. Never mind the reason. Never mind
the reason! And don't tell me to shush!
Copy !req
1481. - What's going on there?
- Cornelius, quick!
Copy !req
1482. Hey, you! What's all this noise?
What's happening here?
Copy !req
1483. - Now, you stay out of this.
- Are you all right, Miss?
Copy !req
1484. - I'll let you know.
- Young man...
Copy !req
1485. I'm only trying to tell her something.
Copy !req
1486. Well, it's too late and
you're disturbing the peace.
Copy !req
1487. No, it's not too late.
That's why I'm shouting.
Copy !req
1488. For 28 years, my whole life,
I never did anything.
Copy !req
1489. I just worked, took orders, never
went anywhere. Stayed in Yonkers.
Copy !req
1490. - Yonkers?
- And today
Copy !req
1491. the most important thing that can happen
to a man, and might never have happened,
Copy !req
1492. happened to me because I left Yonkers
and came to New York and met this lady.
Copy !req
1493. Met her this afternoon.
Copy !req
1494. Mister... just what are you talking about?
Copy !req
1495. Officer, I'm talking about
none other than love.
Copy !req
1496. - Love?
- Love?
Copy !req
1497. Young man, are you trying to tell me
that after 28 years in Yonkers
Copy !req
1498. you've fallen in love with
this young lady in one day?
Copy !req
1499. Oh, no, Officer, I didn't fall in love with
Miss Irene Molloy of this city in just a day.
Copy !req
1500. It was much quicker than that. An hour.
Copy !req
1501. No, even that's too long.
What's less than a minute?
Copy !req
1502. - A second?
- Less than that.
Copy !req
1503. - A moment.
- That's it.
Copy !req
1504. That is it. Now, all of you, listen to me.
Copy !req
1505. Please.
Copy !req
1506. It only takes a moment
Copy !req
1507. For your eyes to meet, and then
Copy !req
1508. Your heart knows
Copy !req
1509. In a moment
Copy !req
1510. You will never be alone again
Copy !req
1511. I held her
Copy !req
1512. For an instant
Copy !req
1513. But my arms felt sure and strong
Copy !req
1514. It only takes a moment
Copy !req
1515. To be loved
Copy !req
1516. A whole life long
Copy !req
1517. Isn't the world full of wonderful things?
Copy !req
1518. I have lost so many things.
Copy !req
1519. My job, my future,
everything that people think is important,
Copy !req
1520. but I don't care. Cos, even if I have to
dig ditches for the rest of my life,
Copy !req
1521. I shall be a ditch-digger
who once had a wonderful day.
Copy !req
1522. Mister, do you mind?
I came in late. Right after...
Copy !req
1523. It only...
Copy !req
1524. Takes a moment
Copy !req
1525. But his arms felt sure and strong
Copy !req
1526. It only takes a moment
Copy !req
1527. He held me, for an instant
Copy !req
1528. But his arms felt safe and strong
Copy !req
1529. It only takes a moment
Copy !req
1530. To be loved a whole life long
Copy !req
1531. And that is all
Copy !req
1532. That love's about
Copy !req
1533. And we'll recall
Copy !req
1534. When time runs out
Copy !req
1535. That it only
Copy !req
1536. Took a moment
Copy !req
1537. To be loved a whole life long
Copy !req
1538. Tell Rudolph not to worry
about the damage.
Copy !req
1539. Just send the bill to Vandergelder's
Hay and Feed Store, Yonkers, New York.
Copy !req
1540. - There's your life for you.
- I don't want to hear about it.
Copy !req
1541. Without niece, without bride,
without clerks.
Copy !req
1542. Look, I'm tired. I've got a backache.
Copy !req
1543. - That's all you have. I hope you're satisfied.
- Never mind.
Copy !req
1544. There's only one thing for me to say.
I've been meaning to say it all night.
Copy !req
1545. If it's to ask me to marry you, Dolly Levi,
never - not in a million years.
Copy !req
1546. It wasn't that at all, Horace.
All I wanted to say was...
Copy !req
1547. Goodbye
Copy !req
1548. What?
Copy !req
1549. Goodbye
Copy !req
1550. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1551. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Copy !req
1552. Goodbye, goodbye
Copy !req
1553. - Nonsense.
- Don't try to stop me, Horace, please.
Copy !req
1554. Wave your little hand
and whisper "So long, dearie"
Copy !req
1555. You ain't gonna see me any more
Copy !req
1556. And when you discover
that your life is dreary
Copy !req
1557. Don't you come a-knockin' at my door
Copy !req
1558. Cos I'll be all dolled up
and singin' that song
Copy !req
1559. That says "You dog, I told you so"
Copy !req
1560. So wave your little hand
and whisper "So long, dearie"
Copy !req
1561. Dearie should have said "So long"
so long ago
Copy !req
1562. Because you treated me
so rotten and rough
Copy !req
1563. I have had enough of feeling low
Copy !req
1564. So wave your little hand
and whisper "So long, dearie"
Copy !req
1565. Dearie should have said "So long"
so long ago
Copy !req
1566. For I can hear that choo-choo
calling me on to a fancy new address
Copy !req
1567. Yes, I can hear that choo-choo calling me
on, on board that Happiness Express
Copy !req
1568. I'm gonna learn to dance
and drink and smoke a cigarette
Copy !req
1569. I'm going as far away
from Yonkers as a girl can get
Copy !req
1570. So
Copy !req
1571. And on those cold winter nights, Horace,
Copy !req
1572. you can snuggle up to your cash register.
Copy !req
1573. It's a little lumpy, but it rings.
Copy !req
1574. Don't come a-knockin', I'll be
all dolled up and singin' that song
Copy !req
1575. That says "You dog, I told you so"
Copy !req
1576. So, Horace, you will find
your life a sad old story
Copy !req
1577. You'll be living in that lonesome territory
Copy !req
1578. When you see old Dolly shuffle off to glory
Copy !req
1579. Oh, I should have said "So long"
Copy !req
1580. How could I have been wrong?
Copy !req
1581. Oh, I should have said "So long"
Copy !req
1582. So long ago
Copy !req
1583. Quiet! Quiet, down there,
you little monsters.
Copy !req
1584. Cornelius! Barnaby!
Copy !req
1585. D'ya hear me down there?
Copy !req
1586. Ermengarde!
Copy !req
1587. What the devil is this?
Copy !req
1588. What's this chicken mash doing all over?
Copy !req
1589. Cornelius! Barnaby!
Copy !req
1590. Get up here this minute
and clean up this mess.
Copy !req
1591. Well, good riddance. Didn't need you
before and I don't need you now.
Copy !req
1592. Ermengarde! I'm ready for my breakfast!
Copy !req
1593. I want three eggs with crisp bacon,
and hot porridge with cream, and grits...
Copy !req
1594. It's not fair.
Copy !req
1595. It's worse than that. It's lonely.
Copy !req
1596. Not in a million years, Dolly Levi.
Copy !req
1597. You go your way and I'll go mine.
Copy !req
1598. - Good morning, Uncle Horace.
- Good morning, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1599. Oh, come crawling back, have you?
Copy !req
1600. I've a good mind not to take you,
but as I'm so softhearted
Copy !req
1601. go get your aprons
and start cleaning up this mess.
Copy !req
1602. We're not coming back to work for you.
Copy !req
1603. What?
Copy !req
1604. Barnaby and I
are stopping by for our money.
Copy !req
1605. You see, we've decided to go into business.
Copy !req
1606. Business?
Copy !req
1607. And since the only business we know is
hay and feed, we're opening our own store.
Copy !req
1608. Mrs Levi's found the perfect location for us.
Copy !req
1609. - Right across the street from you.
- She wouldn't dare.
Copy !req
1610. Hackl and Tucker Incorporated.
Copy !req
1611. Huh! You'll last for a week.
Copy !req
1612. - What about my breakfast?
- Uncle Horace,
Copy !req
1613. I think you'd better start
learning how to make it yourself.
Copy !req
1614. All right, all right. My conscience is clear.
Copy !req
1615. A man can do only so much to keep
fools from their own natural folly.
Copy !req
1616. Why, Horace Vandergelder, as I live
and breathe, how well you look today.
Copy !req
1617. I just came by to return your cane,
so don't let me interrupt.
Copy !req
1618. You were doing something?
What were you doing?
Copy !req
1619. We were getting their money.
Copy !req
1620. $146.35.
Copy !req
1621. - Plus $6. 12 of mine.
- And the money my mama left me.
Copy !req
1622. That's right. $52.48.
Copy !req
1623. - 38, idiot.
- 48... Uncle.
Copy !req
1624. All right, all right. If all you can think about
Copy !req
1625. at a time like this is money,
the safe is upstairs.
Copy !req
1626. And I have the combination.
Copy !req
1627. - You stay here.
- If you insist, Horace.
Copy !req
1628. Ephraim Levi, I'm gonna get married again.
Copy !req
1629. I'm gonna marry Horace Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1630. And I'm asking your permission.
Copy !req
1631. It won't be a marriage
in the sense that we had one,
Copy !req
1632. but I shall certainly make him happy.
Copy !req
1633. You can be sure of that.
Copy !req
1634. I am going to marry Horace Vandergelder
and send his money out into the world,
Copy !req
1635. doing all the things you taught me.
Copy !req
1636. As you always used to say, Ephraim:
Copy !req
1637. "Money, pardon the expression,
is like manure."
Copy !req
1638. "It's not worth a thing unless it's spread
around, encouraging young things to grow."
Copy !req
1639. Anyhow, that's the opinion
of the future Mrs Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1640. And, Ephraim, I'm still waiting
for that sign that you approve.
Copy !req
1641. - Mr Vandergelder.
- Outside. Front and back.
Copy !req
1642. Bossy, scheming, meddling,
Copy !req
1643. irritating, inquisitive, exasperating.
Copy !req
1644. Horace, I know you're no longer interested,
Copy !req
1645. but I have found you the ideal wife.
Copy !req
1646. Dolly Levi, I don't want you
to find me any ideal wife.
Copy !req
1647. If I want an ideal wife,
I'll find one of my own,
Copy !req
1648. and I have found her and it's you, damn it!
Copy !req
1649. I know I've been a fool and I probably always
will be, but Dolly, forgive me and marry me.
Copy !req
1650. No, Horace, I...
Copy !req
1651. - I don't dare. I don't dare.
- What do you mean?
Copy !req
1652. Well, you know as well as I do
that you're the first citizen of Yonkers
Copy !req
1653. and your wife would
have to be a... a somebody.
Copy !req
1654. You are! You are a wonderful woman.
Copy !req
1655. Yes, but, uh, do you really
think I have it in me...
Copy !req
1656. to forgo fancy clothes
and expensive jewels,
Copy !req
1657. and instead be a benefactress
to half the town?
Copy !req
1658. In other words, to be a credit to you?
Copy !req
1659. Dolly, everybody knows that you
could do anything you wanted to do.
Copy !req
1660. By the way, Horace, here's the money
I borrowed from you yesterday.
Copy !req
1661. Keep it, keep it.
Copy !req
1662. Oh, Horace.
Copy !req
1663. I never thought I'd ever
hear you say anything like that.
Copy !req
1664. You know it's bad business
to let 'em open a store over there?
Copy !req
1665. - It was your idea.
- Let him be your partner.
Copy !req
1666. And Barnaby can have Cornelius's old job.
Copy !req
1667. That way we can all dance
at Ermengarde's wedding.
Copy !req
1668. That does it. You've gone too far. I'll dance
at no wedding. Besides, I don't know how.
Copy !req
1669. - All right, I'll dance.
- Excuse me, Mr Vandergelder.
Copy !req
1670. - I said outside! Now get moving.
- Horace, what is going on around here?
Copy !req
1671. Oh, nothing, I just thought I'd have
the shutters done over in forest green.
Copy !req
1672. - Forest-green shutters?
- The paint's still good,
Copy !req
1673. but that fellow's just set up
a business and needs a good start.
Copy !req
1674. You see, Dolly, I've always felt that money,
pardon the expression, is like manure.
Copy !req
1675. It's not worth a thing unless it's spread
around, encouraging young things to grow.
Copy !req
1676. Thank you, Ephraim.
Copy !req
1677. Hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1678. Well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1679. It's so nice to have you here
where you belong
Copy !req
1680. I never knew, Dolly
Copy !req
1681. Without you, Dolly
Copy !req
1682. Life was awfully flat and,
more than that, was awfully wrong
Copy !req
1683. Here's my hat, Horace
Copy !req
1684. I'm stayin' where I'm at, Horace
Copy !req
1685. Dolly'll never go away
Copy !req
1686. Wonderful woman.
Copy !req
1687. Again
Copy !req
1688. Put on your Sunday clothes
when you feel down and out
Copy !req
1689. Strut down the street
and have your picture took
Copy !req
1690. Dressed like a dream
your spirits seem to turn about
Copy !req
1691. That Sunday shine is a certain sign
Copy !req
1692. That you feel as fine as you look
Copy !req
1693. Take the someone whose arms you're in
Copy !req
1694. Hold on to her tight and spin
Copy !req
1695. And one, two, three. One, two, three.
One, two, three, look!
Copy !req
1696. I held her
Copy !req
1697. For an instant
Copy !req
1698. But my arms felt sure and strong
Copy !req
1699. It only takes a moment
Copy !req
1700. To be loved a whole life long
Copy !req
1701. Yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
1702. A dainty woman
Copy !req
1703. A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Copy !req
1704. Oh, yes, it takes a woman
Copy !req
1705. A fragile woman
Copy !req
1706. To bring you the sweet things in life
Copy !req
1707. Well, well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1708. Well, hello, Dolly
Copy !req
1709. It's so nice to have you back
where you belong
Copy !req
1710. You're lookin' swell, Dolly
Copy !req
1711. We can tell, Dolly
Copy !req
1712. You're still glowin', you're still crowin'
Copy !req
1713. You're still goin' strong
Copy !req
1714. Just see the crowd swayin'
Copy !req
1715. While the band's playin'
Copy !req
1716. One of your old favourite songs
from way back when
Copy !req
1717. So
Copy !req
1718. Wow, wow, wow, fellas
Copy !req
1719. Look at the old girl now, fellas
Copy !req
1720. Dolly'll never go away
Copy !req
