There's a little dark girl,

sings with the Glenn Williams Orchestra.

The Glenn Williams Orchestra finishes

at 1:
30, Mr. Maine.

Then the rhumba band takes over.

They finished about an hour ago.

It doesn't matter, Bruno.

The whole thing seems rather silly now.

I'll tell you something, Mr. Maine.

All the bands that play here,

the musicians, you know...

...they go to a little place

on Sunset Boulevard after they finish.

And maybe the girl could be there.

They're crazy people, you know.

They blow their heads off here all night.

Then instead of going to bed,

they go to this little place...

...and blow their heads off there

for themselves, for nothing!

Would you like a table, sir?

Not unless you wish

to rhumba with me, Bruno.

Is there anyone here that I know?

Well now, let's see.

There's a new little girl from Paramount.

That one there, yes.

She's very pretty, Mr. Maine.

She's with someone, isn't she?

Only her agent.

He'll be glad to leave.

Too young. I had a very young week

last week.

It's not worth it.

Is there anyone else?

Miss Sheldon.

She's very beautiful tonight, Mr. Maine.

No. She hit me over the head

with a bottle.

Yes, I remember it. It happened right here.

- I thought everything was all right by now.

- Nope, they only hit me once.

The little girl in the green dress?

No, Mr. Maine.

Pasadena.

Leave it alone.

Will you excuse me? I'll be right back.

Go ahead.

Take it, honey. Come on.

Take it from the top.

- From the top?

- Yeah.

"The night is bitter

"The stars have lost their glitter

"The winds grow colder

"Suddenly you're older

"And all because of the man that got away

"No more, his eager call

"The writing's on the wall

"The dreams you've dreamed

"Have all gone astray

"The man that won you

"Has run off and undone you

"That great beginning

"Has seen a final inning

"Don't know what happened

"It's all a crazy game!

"No more, that all-time thrill

"For you've been through the mill

"And never a new love will be the same

"Good riddance, goodbye

"Every trick of his, you're onto

"But fools will be fools

"And where's he gone to?

"The road gets rougher

"It's lonelier and tougher

"With hope, you burn up

"Tomorrow he will turn up

"There's just no letup

"The livelong night and day

"Ever since this world began

"There is nothing sadder than

"A one-man woman

"Looking for the man that got away

"The man that got away"

It's wonderful.

Pretty good, we finished together...

Oh, no! No!

What's the matter?

Your dancing partner has returned.

How do you suppose he found us?

- I'll get rid of him.

- No, I'll do it.

Hello, Mr. Maine.

You turn up in the strangest places.
