Pride of the Yankees Page #2

against a great athlete?

Pay no attention to me.

I'll just go away somewhere

and drink myself to death.

Aren't you going to ask me to dance?

Wouldn't you condescend to dance

with a little Miss Nobody like me?

- I guess I don't dance very well.

- You and your modesty.

Athletes do everything well.

Don't you want to dance with me?

Would you care to dance, Miss Tinsley?

I'd adore to.

I could just die dancing with you.

But it seems such a waste of time.

I want to talk to you.

I know a place we can be all by our lonesome.

It'll be just wonderful.

You know what?

I never danced before in my life.

- Now...

- I wouldn't kid you. I'd never kid you.

I was scared stiff, Miss Tinsley.

Myra.

Myra, would you like to dance again?

Later.

First, I want to know all about you.

Go on, tell me.

There isn't anything.

A great big, famous person like you?

You've even had your name in the paper.

Tell me, do you just adore baseball?

You see, I'm not gonna be a ballplayer.

Mom wants me to be an engineer.

You're going to do what she wants?

Of course.

I think that's just adorable.

Gonna be an old engineer

that never gets his name in the paper.

Just 'cause your mother wants you to.

You're wonderful.

You're the one that's wonderful.

Now, Mr. Gehrig...

Lou.

Are you going to remember me, Lou?

Remember you?

Maybe these will help you to.

Of course they will.

Because they're like you.

- "Night and day time, always play..."

- Hey, Myra.

Where have you been? How about our dance?

Excuse me, Lou.

"And the poor get poorer...

"In the meantime, in between time,

ain't we got fun?"

Here he is now, the pride of the ballroom.

- Quit kidding, will you?

- I wouldn't kid you.

I'd never kid you.

- Come on, eat.

- Nice work, Lou. You're wonderful.

No, I'm not.

You're the one that's wonderful.

What are you going to be

when you grow up, Van?

I'd like to be a great, big fireman

because I'm so good at it.

But the mater won't let me.

- She wants me to be a motorman.

- Hey, what is all this?

Van, even though

the big-league teams are begging you...

...on their bended knees to join them,

you will remember us, won't you?

I don't need anything

to make me remember you.

But I'd like to have these...

...because they're like you.

He was only joking.

A man from the Yankees is looking for you.

- More jokes?

- Gehrig? My name's Blake.

Miller Huggins of the Yankees...

- You're trying to be funny, too?

- Wait a minute.

Say, Lou.

What made you give Mr. Blake

the rush act last night?

He came up to your fraternity house

to do you a favor.

You mean that he...

You mean that you want to...

Wait a minute. Let's start over again.
