Chapters
I know, I saw him yesterday, and he was so excited about auditioning for Mr. Zangler. Wait, there he is! Yeah!
Hi, Bobby! Am I late? Is Mr. Zangler still here? Yeah, he's still there.
Oh my goodness!
My goodness, great! Bobby, what happened? They kept me late at the bank, but I got my capsticks on! This time, Mr. Zangler's gonna be dazzled! He's gonna hire me on the spot! Oh, Mrs. Zanger, may I speak to you for half an hour? Oh, yes, yes. Ladies and gentlemen, well, well, well, my name is Bella Zanger. Thank you for coming to the Zanger Follies, our final performance of the season, and I hope you feel all eager in just 8 weeks for a wonderful new show. Mrs. Zanger, may I speak to you for half an hour? I must talk to my guests about a very important business matter. Right, um, Mrs. Zanger?
Yes, Mr. Zanger?
I'm not—
What are you saying? I'm not hungry.
Yes, please, you make me crazy.
And how is Miss St. Sandler? I'm sorry to say she is in excellent health.
Hi, Mr. Zinkler! No, I'm not here to audition. Off now! No, Mr. Zinkler, you don't understand. When I go to your office, they throw me out. Good. I forgive them already. No, wait a second! Mr. Child, why are you wasting my time? Because this is my life! It's all I care about! No, please, you're gonna love this.
Just—
just— Okay, okay, you want to see it? Okay, okay, okay. Oh yeah, hold this. Here it goes. Let me give you the lowdown. I'm crazy for you. When it comes to us, oh yeah, I'm crazy for you. And for the life of fire, I'll leave no syrup in my heart. Bang on, bang on. I'm holding. You are a wardog! Mr. Nagler, I realize I'm an unknown here in New York, but I have potential! Yeah, you could be unknown all over the place.
Hey, Bobby, just forget about him. Yeah, don't worry about it.
Yeah, so who knew she had big feet?
Hello, Bobby.
Irene!
Hi! Say goodnight to the ladies, Bobby.
I don't know, wait a second.
See you later, Bobby. We gotta go anyways.
Bye, Bobby.
Bye, Bobby. Nella, it is time that you gave up all of this crazy nonsense and settled down.
Nonsense?
We have been engaged for 5 years now. When are we getting married?
We're not. Of course we are. Oh no, we're not. Don't be ridiculous.
I have the wedding all planned. I guess this is up to 900.
Great! Big crowd! You won't even miss me! People stop, I'm sure, next to you, "Oh, Mr. Jingle, I'm really sorry—" Mom!
No! I just want to see that on the day you're married, you will work in the paint.
But I don't want to work in the paint! That's my mother's idea! See, that is the whole trouble! No one in the theater takes me seriously! Well, if my mother were here right now, you know what I'd say to her? Huh? I would say, "Mother!" Bobby! Why, you look well. That's so nice to hear.
She'll love to hear I'm talking to Mom. Well, so am I. Then answer mine. Mom, in the 10 years since you left Harvard, you have accomplished nothing. He got engaged to me.
You've accomplished best than nothing. Now, the board of directors and I have decided to give you one last chance. If you fail again this time, I will cut off your allowance.
When he hears me, he won't give me the allowance.
No, he'll be a psychiatrist. Now, Bobby, this is a deed of property. We'd like it signed. Fine, fine. Do you understand? Not by you, you idiot. By some other idiot who lives in Dead Rock, Nevada. I want you to go there immediately and get him to sign it. Nevada? Save the bank. Why does someone— Yeah, but who cares? I want to dance. I don't care about money.
I, I'm sorry, mother. I'm sorry.
People go to the bank over my dead body.
Shut up!
I'm going to take the job. Barbie, get your job. Bad news, go away. Call round someday in March or May. I can't be bothered now. My pots and chairs, they fall downstairs. Who cares, who cares? I'm dancing and I can't be bothered now. I'm out among the thorns, unearthly things I found are growing on the floor that held me down. I raised the white bird with my far-right bird just now. I chant because you see I'm dancing and I can't be bothered. <LYRICS>MUSIC is the magic that makes every beat untimely. Dancing makes my toes all seem tiny. When I'm dancing, I don't care if this motor stops turning, or if my face is burning, or even if Romania wants to buy Albania. I'm never safe.</LYRICS> 'Cause I'm a pretty stupid friend. Oh no!
That's for me! Good working! No way! I'll count. No way! He lost! What way? 50/50! Can't be bothered now! I can't be bothered now?
He's dancing!
Watch inside! You'll have to hold the light!
Where's that milk? Taxi! Grand Central Station! I keep busy fighting my time. Next year, next year, something fell to carry. Now that is here, is here, I'll just keep on living.
Go and get it!
Hey, Polly, I got a letter!
Sam, you got a letter just last month.
No kidding? What'd it say? I don't know. I didn't have the energy to read it.
Hey, looky here! My dad got a letter from New York City!
Hey, Everett, you got a letter from New York City! Well? Isn't that exciting? Ollie, can I have this thing for my collection?
Moose? I didn't know you had a stamp collection.
Oh boy, no, you—
It's from that stinking bank again. Oh dear. This time they want to take our theater.
I'm afraid we're a little bit out on our mortgage.
Look, it says right here if we don't pay a ton of money by the end of the month, they're gonna own it! Lock, stock, and barrel!
Oh, Pauline, I wish you could have seen your mother on that stage. I bet she was really something, Dad. She was never the more radiant, and when she stood there behind the footlights singing her heart out, too much of of gold miners. Poor little guy.
Says they're sending down some banker to put the knife in him, named Bob Child. Oh, Bobby Child! Why'd they make this stuff now?
Oh, I don't know, but I'll do it.
But it's going to be ugly.
I've never seen her that angry before. Talk about a sad day. I can look in the landscape over and it's covered with four leaf clovers. Oh, these are things. Like. There was my coffee. But no more will I be the corner For I certainly turn the corner Both things are looking up since love looks up at me Oh, I wish you could have seen Polly Wilbur on that stage, standing there behind the crowbar. Would you quit laughing, you pig-headed fool?
Let go of him! Don't you dare talk to my father like that!
Okay, okay, listen, I'll make it simple. I own this alley. I know where— now give me the location of that expand possibly in the Doudna-Schneider Theater, which I remind you was turned into a post office 20 years ago! Oh, I'd love to see a show in that theater again. It's never gonna happen, Everett. In the last 2,000 years, there's been one resurrection, and it was not a theater! Picture it. This could be a big town again. Shops and cafes, sidewalks. We could have another Cleveland on our hands. Well, such a nice town as this. Would you look around? Come here, look! We got a town full of singing cadavers, there's bodies lying in the street.
We're the armpit of the American West. Look, Hawkins, if you ever talk to my father like that again, I will skin you alive, do you hear me? Hey, don't worry about it, dear. It's okay.
I've been looking the landscape over, and it's covered with four leaf clovers. All things are looking up since love looked up at me. And it's not like I'm a theater actor. There was my coffee, but no more will I be the corner, for I certainly turned the corner. All things are looking up since love looked up at me. I've asked you to marry me 50 times.
So ask someone else!
There is no one else, you're the only one within 50 miles! Oh, Paulie! See, the sun is everyone's beams, just because of you. Love's incessant and my depression is not mistaken for a thrill. Thank you, things are looking up. It's a great little world we live in. Paul and the other bums in love. Happy!
You turn that thing off!
Hold it right there, mister. I saw you take that ace from your sleeve. Looks like you need some glasses, you dumb cuss. Rubbish. Complete rubbish. Oh, I think I felt pretty good that time. Um, what's going on here? It's good to be open. Lance, I think, bring it forward. That there is Wyatt Earp, he's Billy the Kid. But they could have hurt each other. Not shooting, that's different. This is just play, see? Hey, Lance! This is why the country is in a depression.
Where's Glenn? He's out back. Who the hell is he?
He sort of crawled into town this morning. How do you do? He's still a little shaky.
Well, don't just stand there, get under him, walk him around a little. No, not back, over with. Show me your— there you go. Yeah, okay, you got to wrap my shoulders now. Come on, come on, sunshine. Lift. Rob. Lift. There you go!
Rob is awake! What the hell did you do that for?
I don't know. Don't do it again. Right. Hey, Henry, get me something to drink so I can clean my lips.
Make that 2. I'll have another. Come on. One for the road.
That's a little strong.
Strong.
Mister, we got 30-year-old calves that pass water strong, mister.
You are beautiful. Yeah, you're like the Venus de Milo. Except for your arms. No, no, I mean you have arms. Mister, it's been real nice talking to you. Shut the hell up!
Spaceship! Have some pity on an Easterer.
Trouble it all, sit with me. No one wants a naked Easterer. Can it happen with me? There's a dog on the line. Let it be between us. It's a partnership I'm dying for. Mr. and Mrs. Us. Before you file it on the shelf, let me tell you of myself. Oh, I'm the chappy to make you happy. I'll tie your shoesies and chase your loosies. I'll wake you with a good talking.
Could you use me? Don't mind my choreo, the bird before you, the cat before you, of course What's wrong with you, silly man? What can you be? Do you rely on a good man?
You're getting old and weak. I'm no helpful mason or woodman.
You're getting old and weak. Your time will creep, hit your knees, or reach its climax and clock the high ballast. I certainly can't hear you.
Hey kids! Wake up! Drop down on your face, come on! Absolutely! Why keep your heads up? Hey kids! If you want this whole world on a string, put on your dancing shoes, stop wasting time. Put on your dancing shoes, let your spirits fly. Shall we dance and fun away? Shall we dance and while I'm there? Shall we give in to despair? Or shall we stand in the very air and say, "Life is short." Ah! We are growing older, don't you agree? And I'm so right, you better dance the way we dance in the land. Dance when I hurt you. Wow! Oh, Polly! Oh, Polly, where are you? Would you look at this place!
Sure is something, isn't it? It's incredible! When I was a little kid, I used to sit here and watch all the big shows. The lights, the music.
I've never seen anything like it. What's it doing in Deadlock? Well, this here used to be a pretty big town about 70 years ago, but then all the gold mines ran out and everyone just kind of got up and left. Would you look at this stuff! Oh, come on, you can't let the bank take this place. How do you know about that? I couldn't help overhear out on the street. Wait a second, I got an idea. About what? I know what to do.
What the hell are you talking about?
All we have to do to save this place is just put on a show right here in the theater, and then that'll make all the money we need to pay off the mortgage.
Just put on a show? Right. In here? Right. Is everyone in Venice this stupid, or are you just special?
Well, why not? Don't you ever go to the movies? Mickey Rooney does that all the time. Look, the guys in the bar, they can sing. I heard of it. Yes, I can bring dancers from St. Louis, Molly. They're my friends. They come in a second. They're on vacation.
You mean like Bubba Zangler? Yeah. My daddy's talked about him. Do you know him?
Oh, do I know him? Like this.
Do you think that Mr. Zeffire could come here and put on a show?
I mean, if you asked him to. No. No. But we don't need him. I can do it. I promise. Holly, please, just let me try. I could accomplish something. And just imagine giving this theater a whole new life. I guess we can try it. Yes! I'll call you out first thing in the morning! Don't wake Chloe! Chloe, honey, watch this, watch this!
You were standing on my foot!
Oh, I am so sorry!
Oh, it's alright. Gee, it sure is nice of you to help me. I mean, we hardly know each other.
I'm Holly Baker. Oh, I'm Bobby Child. What? Bobby Child.
From New York City? Right! I—
Oh! Oh! Oh, what did I do? You're from the bank!
Oh, yeah, I just ran in there.
You're from the bank!
You're here! This is a trick! No, no, it's not! Why would you do this to me? Holly, you're wrong! You're singing and you're dancing and you're Bella Fiddler!
I can save this theater! Just go away!
And don't you ever let me catch you talking to me again!
Apolly? You, you're singing, you're dancing, and you're... Bella Ceylin. Guards! It is time we pay visit to their broken heart, I hear!
It's wonderful to breathe the rocky sea, to ponder trees around in all the open spaces. There's no doubt, no doubt, no doubt, this is the life that Riley told me about.
Good morning, good morning, good morning! This is their broken Nevada God. Excellent! I am Introducing please, for a Miss Polly Baker.
I'm Polly Baker.
What's going on? Permit me to introduce myself. My name is Bella Sandra. It's Bella Baker!
Are you really Bella Sandra? Yeah. What are you doing here?
I'm saving theater! What? 3 days ago from a very good friend of mine, Bonnie Child. By the way, she's a wonderful boy. I'm sure you all have heard about her. He was saying to your friends, friends, you don't like this? That's just what he said. I'm not surprised. So then we thought, we've got show company down here. I don't believe one word of this. And, uh, which bird is that? Something smells fishy to me. I think it's a goose. Mr. Zangler, is that you? Ah, you know me! I've seen your picture in Variety a hundred times.
What are you doing here? He's gonna help us pay the mortgage!
This is miraculous! This is ridiculous! Like, I am insulted! Do you wanna make a production or not? I am busy now! Okay, I'm doing fine.
Here we go, girls, to work! Bobby, you look so good! You look so— like what? Bye, Bobby!
Mister, you see this here guy? Y'all, it tends to have a mind of its own. One of the two ain't bad. This isn't funny.
Look, I want somebody to come in the next 24 hours.
Oh, I wish you could have seen Polly's mother on that stage, standing there behind us.
Sir, if you really could pull this off, well, I guess I'd be mighty grateful.
Let's hope so! Ya? So! Who would like to audition? You watch your language, Captain! Uh, to be in show! To work that girl! Now that's the kind of way you should marry. Dad, would you cut it out?
When I'm ready to be married, I'll let you know.
The last time you had to contact me through a medium.
Surgeon lad I have in my eyes, looking everywhere, haven't found him yet. He's with big affair I cannot forget, only man I ever think of with glee. I like to add his initials to my autograph. Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb? There's somebody I'm longing to see. I hope that he turns out to be someone like you. I grow like a good old baby to want to watch over you. Though he may not be the last I'll grow think of as handsome, to my heart he carries Oh, terrific! Thanks. Why don't you try running the actual finale? Right. I'll go help Sam play with her rehearsal. Okay, then. Smile! Hands out, hands together, hands on head. Hands out, hands together, hands on head. Hands out, hands together, hands on chest. Not my chest, your chest! Okay, let's do this again. And that is that. And one more. Oh, drop it! Now don't forget we have rehearsal in 20 minutes.
Another one? Hey, come on up with me, I got everybody all waiting.
It's great to meet you. It's great to meet you. Good luck. Good luck. And if you don't want to go to the office, yeah, show up right around 8:00. Uh-huh. Just get off the station and then it's about an hour's walk from the junction to your end of the— Hello?
Hello? Well, well, well. Busy bees hard at work.
This here's a theater and a post office. You can either buy a ticket or stand.
Otherwise, go back to your saloon. Holly, you're wasting your time.
Nobody's gonna pay good money to see a bunch of singing numbskulls.
What does this man know about theater?
Lay off him, Link. Maybe he thought I shared his view on the contemporary American stage.
I don't know. Heh. I don't know. They all share the trenches to me. I suppose you could say that Eugene O'Neill is looking into exploring the symbolism of Greek tragedy. Of course, the rhythm of And then, still have 34 episodes. And then, there's Stan and Slouchy.
Bob. Link. Paulie.
Back here. Paulie! I mean, she kind of reminds me of that girl in King Lear. How will I end this show? It's the last thing I have to do! Stop! Stop! Please stop already! Thank you! I have never seen such a mess! You! Machinsky! Come over here!
I don't know any of these names. Okay, Moose.
Okay, Moose. Okay, Moose. I've got good news and bad news. Oh, well, uh, what's the bad news? You will not be dancing in this number. And, uh, what's the good news? You will not be dancing in this number.
Oh, okay.
Yes. Now you play with this. Yes. All right. You watch me. Yeah, like this. Now you draw. You're going to be Yasha Hyphens of the Old West. What's more fancy too? That was joke, not, not, not.
Oh, excuse me, I'm looking for someone named Rob Bagley. I have not seen him lately.
Maybe you should try my home depot. Irene! Hi!
What the hell are you doing?
Well, I'm putting on a show. I'm Bella Zangler.
You look like Karl Marx. What in the heavens' name are you doing dressed as some idiot in the middle of a college school? Mr. Zangler! Ah, excuse me. I just wanted to say What you're doing here is like a real miracle.
Thank you.
I'll be back in a minute.
I've got to get supplies from the staff club. A real miracle! I should have known.
I really should have known. I saw that in the bulletin. Look in your eyes, honey. Like a cow that needs milking. I agree. And I'm certain she would just love to hear all I hate you when you do that.
No, just one second.
You are talking to a frustrated boy.
I can see that. Pony, pony, pony, we have a visitor. A pony is only woman living in castle.
Oh really? I guess that's why she looks so tired.
Uh, Polly, honey, this is a very old friend of mine.
Well, she sure moves well for her age. My age? Well, I suppose that you just had your coming out party. Oh, I never had a coming out party. I didn't even know Oh, the brunette who lost all that hair to your— Would you like to borrow it?
No, I feel all hairy. D'oh, she was making a joke!
Well, I suppose it would look rather odd not having any lovely fringe on it. Oh, that's alright. Your hair kind of makes up for it.
I just knew you two would be good friends! Sister Zangler! What's that, Ginger? Pull it off! I want you out of this town on the next train! You don't like shows? No, I don't like shows. I don't like you hanging around my woman all day. You would prefer all night? Maybe you should take a look at something. Read that. It is a wedding license. Have I made my intentions clear to you? Well, I guess so, but I don't want to marry you. You are close to an idiot. That ain't funny. Fine, now leave my guitar. I'm warning you, Satan. Please get out now. I am busy, Master Satan. You have to see the end of me. If it's not the end of you, I don't want to see it!
Excuse me, you know by chance of a hotel in this town?
Well, it's narrow, but I have a beautiful hotel next door. Perfect!
Can I get a room with a bath?
Madam, I can give you a room, but you'll have to take your own bath. Ah, Polly! Polly, we have important talk now, yeah? Sure, what's that? I would like to talk to you about Bobby Shire. Him? Polly, he's a wonderful boy! Handsome, talented, brave! I haven't even seen him for days!
Which is lucky for him.
Oh, oh, oh, well, that he has told me that he is crazy for you. Oh, well, I can't hate that.
I'm already spoken for. You are? Yeah, well, in my heart anyway.
It is, it is a late birthday. Yeah, I can't, I don't like it, but I don't care. It isn't playing. Moose? Just don't understand anything, do you?
Just as the mental storm up, I have to lock my door. Sometimes warm up to one before. Pizza!
What was it that controlled me?
Whatever my love life Let us kiss out. Oh, you come to see me, mister. Listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat. You know just what I need.
Honey, honey, you are making a very big mistake.
Embrace me. Let us be embraced.
I think we got to talk about this, y'all.
Embrace me. You're near a place where you know I'm coming. Get you my heart. Sit beside me. Each memory will no longer announce the distance. That is because I'm not counting. Above all, make your arms about me. Oh, you're making a big joke now. Above all, I want my arms about you. Okay, it's not a joke. Don't be unhappy, baby. Come to papa, come to papa. My sweet embrace.
Now imagine if I was Bobby.
You can't speak with mother's feet. No. I don't think so. In your arms I find love so inequitable here.
I'm afraid My sweet embrace.
Open your eyes, y'all. Come on, crank these bells and put your arms up.
Here we go.
Wow, it must be hard to pull a horse.
That's probably what you Listen to me! It's about Zane, Laura. It's about time for you to show up. You kissed him, didn't you? Have you been spying on us? Of course not! He told me. You know, I'm not surprised that you're jealous.
Jealous? The man that you were bombing? He's accomplished things. Oh, he's just so full of energy and vision.
Oh, you are falling in love with the wrong man! Why am I so much better at saying words? Here, brother, $200. Me? I'm not interested. $300 if you follow the show. Keep your money, Frank. Okay, $400. Invest in something. Start a casino. Don't be stupid.
What comes from that is a camel.
Excuse me, how much do you think we're anywhere in this building are going to be open?
Ma'am, that is your problem. Actually, it is both of our problems if this show succeeds. You can lose Poppy and I can lose Bobby. Who's Bobby? Zangler. Bobby Zangler? His name is Child. Child Zangler? Oh, idiot! Zangler is Child.
Well, he certainly has grown up. I don't— You lost. Stupid. Hold it, everybody! There's a cluster of people coming down on the station!
Do something!
Never pretend to me I'm not your husband!
If you were my husband, I would kill myself.
Well, somebody might have been interested.
I did not come here to be insulted.
And where do you usually go?
Please, Dad, where's Bella? He should be here for this, shouldn't he? Bella? Has he anything done anywhere?
I, I don't know. I was just upstairs talking to Bobby. Oh, he is just so full of energy and vision. He has accomplished things. Thanks for reminding me. You're coming around the bend. Hello! Good evening!
Is this Step Off the Border?
Well, it sure is! Jolly good!
Where is everyone else? From the train? Well, I can see anyone else from the train did you, dear?
Oh, now wait, there was that rather old attendant. We left the poor chap somewhere in the desert.
Frankly, I don't think he'll make it. You mean it's just the two of you?
I'm afraid so. Is that your fault?
No, no, not at all. So I guess you'll be wanting to buy your tickets now. Tickets? For the show! No!
Oh dear, I'm afraid we're not here to see a stage show. We're not? Oh no, no, you see, this is our sort of gathering where we do a series of magical The name's Phobo. I'm Aziz. This is Patricia.
Now let's see, where did we view the late fucking salute bar, hotel, and restaurant?
I didn't plan on a surprise first date, Schmidt. I didn't know if you'd ask. I was going to invite you in. Excellent. Omen of tragedy. The clouds part and justice reigns supreme.
I can't believe it.
After all that work. Maybe some people have lost my card? No, I wouldn't count on it. I believe I owe you all a very big apology. No, you're wrong. What it is, you see, I put on show, raise your hopes, and I do not sell for you a single ticket. I am truly Sorry.
Now wait just a minute. So what if we didn't sell a single ticket? That doesn't make us a failure.
In the theater business, it's a pretty good indication. I do not have to hear it.
Just look at all you've given us. Just look around. Before you came, we were nothing but a bunch of lazy drifters. We didn't do anything! But then you showed up, and so did Magic Labyrinth. We have been working together and caring about things and feeling alive! <LYRICS>Day is candy sunny, now</LYRICS> reside. Don't need what money can buy. Birds in the trees in their day full of song. Why shouldn't we sing along? I'll cheer for all the day. I'm happy with my lot. How I am able as was I not.
A rhythmic double rhyme through the British college of song. But now, the chance to do the pipes somehow. Boys and lovely ladies prepare to hear sweeter than that stringbow gambling still quiet. Our first pipes are in the air, for song is life. You may The real American folk song is like the grass, pure in taste and in the ways you like them. In the ways you like them, the real American folk song. The real American folk song. The real American folk song is hot grass. Rise.
Good night, Paul.
Night. Good night. Sleep well and quickly. Excuse me, excuse me. Polly, Polly, I, I need to talk to you. No, Polly, this is important. Polly, I, I really thought I've thought about this and— well, this might be my last chance. Holly, I want you to marry me. What? Now look, I realize the show didn't work out. But I can get a job out here and raise the money. You can't do that. Of course I can, are you kidding? I'll be a cowpoke. Yeah, where's the Pope cows?
Bobby, the fact is I'm in love with Bella. I knew it all straight to smell. It was like a celebration of what our show might have been.
Holly, I just can't help it, Bobby.
Every time I'm around, I just feel something inside of me all the way down to my toes. Sorry, Mommy.
Paulie! I've got to tell you something! What? Oh, you're not going to believe this! What? I'm Bela Zangler! What? Zangler! Me! I'm him! Now you see, that first day when you got mad at me, I realized there was only one way I could help, so— so I called Tess, and she brought the clothes and the beard, and— and that's who you fell in love with.
Bobby, this is ridiculous. But it's true. You can't make me stand there and lie like that.
Here, I'll open the exit. Hurry up. Polly, you've got to believe me. I'm the savior. Look, I'll show you the beard and the closet. They're upstairs. I'll prove it to you. Hi, Bill. Hi, Bill. Look, Polly, I wouldn't lie to you.
Oh, nice try. Bobby?
Bobby, are you all right? Have a— It's Christmas. Thank you.
What are you doing here?
I don't know, but I'm coming back. You're moving. How are you moving? I traveled 3,000 I want to be with you. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
Bella, how many times do I have to tell you? I don't enjoy your company. I want nothing with you, and I will keep you out of my life. Hopefully I've corrected.
You see, you could be married already. And how does Mrs.
Nagler?
She left me. You're kidding. She was running around with some stinking house—
Well, I guess you couldn't break the habit.
Testing you? Why do you say such things? You know I would do anything for you.
Anything?
Anything.
I've got an idea. Mr. Hawkins!
What?
In case you were wondering, the coffee was cold, the food was inedible, and the cutlery was filthy.
If you don't like it here, I can show you the wide open spaces of the universe.
I have no desire to see the inside of a head.
I do not do shows. We have a show.
We just need an audience.
This is the middle of no place. We'll advertise. You're the word of— you could do it. It wouldn't work. Fine.
Don't ever kiss this neck again.
Oh, Tessie, it is impossible. This Sounds good.
That is so typical. Yes, she is. These are nice, normal, healthy people.
Hey, you should— you want to go get a drink? You got it, Buster. Hey, hold up a minute. That's my lady. Not anymore. I said let her go. Well, I said no. Nice, normal healthy people. I have to open the door, otherwise I'll eat you to death.
You're so brave.
I like you. Jessie, Jessie, Jessie! Rob Bagley! Robby! Robby, do you see? It's me! Safe! Oh, uh. No, no, I need love. You should— Oh. She doesn't want me. me. Women, women, I am so upset. I am beside myself. She's so full of trickery. Life is bitter as she wants Bitch, excuse my cough. I'm sorry you brought that up. Once I thought I'd search around for the little church on Anthony Corner, but now I see it never was meant for me. What she used to blaze me with, why is she so high-hat? Boy, does she own it. She's got no mind now, what cause is that? When she keeps on brushing you aside, oh God, you're all I see. You go contemplating suicide, that is much too much for me. You're not so dumb that you don't know the answer. The love it hurts.
Now, don't forget, Kevin will be leaving in 10 minutes. I don't think he will have to.
It's been a nightmare.
We still have 2 weeks left on the mortgage.
2 weeks, big deal.
We have to figure out what to do with the place. I'd rather sell it to Lex than let the bank have it.
Do you? Thanks.
Hey Bobby, got a telegram! Bobby, you up there?
I got rhythm, I got music, oh, I got energy. Oh, good morning, Polly. Oh, oh, my back. Oh, my legs, my legs. Oh, my stomach! Oh, my throat! Oh, my nose! Oh no, my nose! Run away, no! Do you hear that? Shh, shh. Oh, is that my telegram? I bet it's from Mother again. That is just what I need right now. Dear Fathead, stop. Yep, it's from Mom. Stop this nonsense. Stop. This is your final notice. Stop. Good, sounds like an electric bill. Get back here on the next train. Stop. Don't stop. Stop. Will stop allows if you stop. Stop. Your loving mother, stop. P.S., your uncle stopped by. Hee hee hee hee hee. I wish you'd write letters. Holly? Holly? I didn't wake you up. Holly, what's the matter? Hello? Junior? Oh, oh. My life is so hard. Hi, Bella! Hi! Well, I guess you believe me now, huh? Oh wait, you ready for this? You ready for this? Oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, use the back right, use the back right. Oh, uh, see, also, James Cagney. Embrace me, my sweet embrace, oh you. Remember that? Remember that? Embrace me, you. Oh, Polly! What are we doing? Oh, what did you do that for?
You're in love with me, you admitted it! Not you!
There's a third Zangler! No! The Zangler I'm here for!
The real Zangler!
That's what I'm telling you, that was me! You're the real Zangler? I'm not the real Zangler, I'm Zangler. Then who am I? That's what I'd like to know. I'm so lost.
I don't even know You know who I kissed last night? Me!
She kissed you too? Of course she kissed me! Have you guys done before? I fell in love with her. That's why I slipped and fell. Stop it!
Stop it! Stop! Stop!
You sound like my mother. Baby, she has to get some sleep. No, I did it for today!
I did not, baby! I did! What the hell? I've never been more humiliated in my life.
Polly! I guess we won't be at that meeting now. What meeting? Down at the theater. For the sound clips. Dude, she's picking us out of the place to play. But, but, but she can't do that! You've got to stop her! Yeah, right. I can't. I can't.
Leo, what time does the meeting start?
It's in about 10 minutes. 10 minutes, great, great. I gotta go change. Hey, do not start that meeting without me! Oh, excuse me, are you going to sleep or doesn't he? Me? Me?
Oh, good, I can buzz myself. Are you ready to go now?
Not now, I'm sorry.
I have been leaving in this same time For 3 days. I really feel like I don't have time.
Then make some time.
I will feel safe.
No, you're not. I really— I'm sorry. It's really over. I'm in love with Paulie. Mr. Love, you're a pal! Oh, wait, what? Oh my God!
Sam! Sam! Sam! You haven't saved me.
What do you love about life, sweetie? Everything. Everything sweet. I mean, I know you hate to be a bother again, but would you like some croissants for breakfast tomorrow? Croissants? Croissants? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I suppose they're both out dead tomorrow, without question.
It says Hotel on the sign.
Excuse me?
The sign. It says Hotel.
So it does. Well, we can fix that, can't we? Anything else you'd like to complain about?
Well, you're a very frustrated man, aren't you?
Ah, it's Dr. Freud now, is it? Well, Doctor, what I really hate are stupid women from New York with their brains in their breast size! You are, without a doubt, the rudest, most unkind, roughest man I have ever met!
Oh my goodness. Without my love, I am just the right one. Nothing, nothing is too deep. You, I can show the way and know the way to please. You, Your— The meeting is starting. Oh dear, we have to sign off soon. It's now or never. Oh, I just love watching kids perform.
That's why I got started.
I have to entertain Wow, I get tired after 10 minutes.
Ever since you kids fixed this place up, I just can't take my eyes off of it. Oh, it's just the way I remember it. Oh, I wish you could have seen Polly's mother on that stage, standing there behind the little glass. Excuse me, can I have your card? Is it your name? Just Mason.
Now, I think that Polly should lead this meeting. If it's anything at all, Brother Rob, I'm not in the mood.
But it's your theater.
But someone has to tell Mr. Child that he ain't involved in this without his leader and little mustache.
Would somebody tell Ms. Baker, please, that she happened to fall in love with Emma Sands? I cannot date him!
You know you did! I did not! Well, this is off to a good start. I am not ending this meeting with him here.
Well, you're gonna have to, because I'm not leaving. Patsy?
Can I go to the bathroom? Yes.
Look, the question is simple. We have 2 weeks left. Do we try the show again or don't we? I say we do! Edward, what do you think? Oh dear. Well, y'all did so much work making this place beautiful again, I'd really rather we make that decision together. Polly?
I think, given the circumstances, we have no choice but to give up. What? Yes!
How can you say that?
How can that be a possibility? No! We tried it once already and it didn't work!
But we can try it again! It's a theater! We can still bring it back to life! To tell you the truth, I don't have to animate for it.
With only 2 people showing up, and they didn't even come for the show.
I think it's kind of a losing cause if you ask me.
Excuse me, excuse me, may I say something?
Patricia and I can see that you rather die in the dumps about our shows, but in our part of the world, you have a What else would you say? Stiff upper lip. Carry on. Chin up. Stiff upper lip. Carry on. Chin up. Stiff upper lip. Start better.
Carry on. Oh no. Chin up. Keep going.
Okay, so how do we vote? All those in favor of trying this show again, say aye. Aye. All in favor of forgetting about it, say aye. Aye. I can't believe this! Spare the heck, Bobby. You know it won't work. We tried it once. And I've got the energy for it. My father ain't gonna let me come. Not even my mom's there. Don't move, people! Be careful! Can I step up and lift you? Yes. Well, at least we tried. Sure did.
Sorry. Hey, it ain't your fault entirely.
Well, um, so long. Where are you going? Back to New York. You're leaving? Well, there's nothing to keep me here now, is there? I guess not. Guess not. Oh, thanks. For what? For a lot of fun. The few broken teeth. The way you wear your hat. The way you The memory of all that. No, no, they can't take that away from me. The way your smile just beams. The way you sing off-key. The way you haunt my dreams. No, no, they can't take that away from me. We may never, never meet again on the bumpy road to love. Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of the way you pulled hold your knife. The way we dance until the break. The way you take my heart. No, no, they can't take that away from me. No, no, they can't take that away.
They're writing songs of love, but not for me. Of lucky stars above, but not for me. Men who love to lead the way have found worse guides of late. Any Russian flag could get me. I wasn't a fool to fall and get that way. Hey, ho, lads! And also, madam dame! Although I can't This is incredible, says Steve, 5 inches of tether.
He wouldn't listen. Oh, these men are wonderful, thinks Steve. Yeah, and they can dance it, and they got the rhythm. I told you that. People stop and show the spinet. Yeah. New posters. A thousand jobs? You will take pictures of a pretty lady in all these clothes. And I want job sheets meeting every train station. You got it! You got it! The advertisement in every newspaper of the state. In every paper? In this state? How many would that be? Now, I don't have enough time for rehearsal. 10 minutes! Oh, and if you pick this up, it looks like a revolution.
Ciao! So, right about those guys, huh?
They're okay. Okay? Jessie, I do this with you.
Okay. This isn't like me.
I know. That's what worries me. Young lady, young lady, you are a very good dancer. Thanks. Where did you learn this? From a friend. You are also a very good kisser. Thanks. I got to break this for your boyfriend. I'm going to make you the star of the show. Frankly, at first I thought he was immoral. Well, he is immoral, but a talent is immoral. He's gone.
Excuse me? He's gone. He left for New York City.
Are you sure of this? Okay, you can find someone else. That's show business. You know No, you could be the star of the show. Are you okay? I'm fine. Good.
It started off so swell, this blessed weekend. It all began so well. But what happened? The climax of a ball should be the marriage dance.
But there's no love for— Appendix E follows the right of silence in covenant. Many affirmative— Addendum A. Addendum A. Addendum B. Addendum B. Addendum C. Addendum C. Where are the appendixes? I think it's like right here. Bobby, you've been back here for 6 weeks and you haven't learned anything. I know. Where's your head? Deadlocked. I didn't ask what's in it, what's it thinking? Well, you see, there's this girl— What? No, it's the same one. Well, forget about her, and remember whoever you marry requires my prior approval. Now come here, I have a little surprise for you. We foreclosed on another property. Happy birthday. Gee, I don't know what to— A deed of trust? What? Wow. It means you own the property. Great, thanks. Aren't you going to ask me what property? Okay, what property? This one! You're kidding! You mean I own the theater? It's all yours. Oh my goodness! Dance on stage. Now you have a stage to dance on. It's wonderful. You're— this is— be careful. In New York, it's mine. Every single uncomfortable seat, I got you. Like, are you kidding? Wait, what? What happened to Zane? He couldn't speak the payments. Apparently he's wasting all his money on that silly feature in Nevada. I understand he's meeting some woman. He's doing it for Tess. I don't know, Mary. Oh no. Shall we have a look around? Bobby? I'll be right there. Polly!
Time was a man who works for fame. There's a guarantee this time won't erase his name. The fact is, the only work that really brings enjoyment is the kindness. Girl and boy best fall in love, you won't regret it. That's the best work a boy could have done. Holding hands at midnight, 'neath the starry sky. Oh, thy work is yet, yet it is huge by. Strolling with the workgirls, sighing sigh after sigh. Oh, as Christ worked get. And you can get it if you try. Just imagine someone who we have caught in store. When two hearts become one, who could ask for anything more? Love me for who I am and let's see where that I said, you'll drop me if you eat it.
Bobby! Holding hands at midnight beneath the starry sky. Guys, you can get it. You can get it if you try. Strolling with a water girl, sock inside out style. I can't do this.
I want to get out of here now.
Let me talk to you. I'm sure I can handle this. This is your fault. You raised up to be my mother.
I want to go to your fun parties. You miss them that much? I do. It has taken me 6 weeks to get back on routine. It isn't I need you to take us to the station. Sure, but it must be off-season. We don't have time for that. Listen, the train leaves at 8 o'clock. We will just make it. Okay. But before we even get there— Hi, Polly! Vel? Vel? Is she?
Oh dear, she just left for New York. Took the makeup. What can I do? Full house! Mr.
Zangler, the audience is becoming restless.
They're throwing fruit at the curtains! Uh, Betty, go call Molly's number. Yes, sir! Mr. Zangler, if your show isn't a success, La Café goes down the sewer. I am talking about this year. I put on a show in 3 weeks. I used all of my own money and I I used a theater in New York! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy! I'm never buying a foreign car as long as I live. Holy cow! What happened around here? The thing left all these. You mean you paid off the mortgage? We've got a full house in 2 weeks. Promise. Oh my goodness, this is wonderful! I accomplished something! Where is this woman so we can go home? I'll be right back.
Bobby, wait! She isn't here! What? She went to New York to find you!
The stupid machine was burning, we couldn't stop her. Alright, stand back! I'll fix it. Lassie! Irene! What are you doing here?
I live here. It's my husband.
That is so typical.
You've never trusted a world-renowned archaeologist.
Because you were against it. He could have been better than some cowgirl.
You've never trusted a world-renowned archaeologist. You are not a good scientist.
It's a great moment. I'm happy as a fox's lover's alley. Can I help you? No, sir, I think that's— Oh, how very kind of you. All right, wish me luck. Wait a minute. He made it! He made it! Let me check my pocket watch. Wait, what time is it? 8:05. Impossible. All right, I'll catch the next train. Get this car on the road. I'll go wash up. Yes, sir.
Are those two ever going to get together? Who is this? We yelled at you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let it out. No, I knew you would. What's happening now? Listen, you guys, I have an idea.
Come here, come to me.
I don't get it!
Back in the storm hall!
I'll be right there, Mother! Go!
Oh, that's one. Hello?
Where did everybody go?
Who could ask for anything more?
