Flower Drum Song Page #2

You mean you are not prepared to

honor your proposal of marriage?

Who said anything

like that?

Sure, I'm gonna honor it.

I just want to settle

some old business first.

Sit tight. I'll be back

in a minute, folks.

Wait, baby. Hold it.

Baby, what's going on?

You and your picture bride.

Good-bye, Sammy,

you two-timing Sam.

Oh, that. Is that all?

All? As soon as you get rid

of that "old business"?

That's me, huh?

The old business.

It's a lie! Whoever

said anything like that?

You did!

I did?

Why would I say

a stupid thing like that?

I'll tell you why.

Never mind.

Oh, Linda,

let me handle this.

I know a family that's

looking for a bride,

and this kid's

exactly the type.

I'll unload her tomorrow.

Keep away from me.

I'm gonna unload you tonight.

Baby, you remember that new

convertible you've been drooling over?

Well, it's yours.

I don't want it.

Don't think you can bribe me

with expensive presents.

What?

Okay, I'll take it.

When do I get it?

I'll make the down payment

tomorrow morning.

Oh, Sammy.

You're the most considerate

friend a girl ever had.

Hello?

Is this

the Ping Wah Supermarket?

This is Madam Liang, I

would like to place my order.

How is your octopus today?

Oh, it isn't?

Then send me four pounds of seahorse,

two pounds of dried snake meat

and a box of longevity noodles.

Oh, yes, and a dozen

thousand-year eggs.

And be sure they're fresh.

Right.

Excuse me, ladies. I had to place

my order before the store closes.

Whose turn is it?

Hello, Madam Liang.

Can I talk to you for a

minute? It's very important.

Pardon me, I'll be right back.

You wanna see a real doll?

Who is she?

She's my picture bride.

She is? You're lucky.

You're even luckier.

Your brother-in-law,

Old Master Wang,

wants a bride for his son,

doesn't he?

Yes, but she's yours, Sammy.

Mom picked her out for me. I

got another kumquat on the fire.

I got this kid on ice,

but the ice is melting fast.

But what will

the Family Association say?

The elders

would never permit it.

Besides, you have a contract

with her father.

I'll turn it over to you.

They'll never know.

I'll talk

to my brother-in-law.

Good.

I'll show him this picture

the first thing in the morning.

Good.

My sister's husband.

Now what have I failed to do?

You sit here idling while I must

arrange for a bride for your son.

You have done what?

A wonderful girl. And she's

right here in San Francisco.

Now where did I put...

I will not choose from

these local Chinese girls.

They are without reverence

or filial devotion.

My son's wife must be

born in a suitable month,

from a house with a high door.

Exactly. A girl

from the old country.
