Singin' in the Rain Page #2

Come to my office.

We'll discuss a contract.

Thanks, Mr. Simpson!

Are you doing anything tonight,

Miss Lamont?

That's funny.

I'm busy.

Lina and I have had the same

wonderful relationship ever since.

But most important of all,

I continue living up to my motto:

"Dignity.

Always dignity."

Thank you, Don.

And I'm sure you and Lina will continue

making movie history tonight...

...in your greatest picture,

The Royal Rascal.

Get enough, boys?

She's so refined...

...I think I'll kill myself.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We're thrilled at your response

to The Royal Rascal.

We had fun making it, and we hope

you had fun seeing it tonight.

We screen actors aren't much good

at speaking in public.

So we'll just act out our thanks.

Hot diggity! t's a smash!

Don, Lina, you were gorgeous!

Lina, you looked pretty good for a girl.

What's the big idea?

Can't a girl get a word in edgewise?

They're my public too!

The publicity department...

...thought it'd be better if Don

made all the speeches for the team.

Why?

You're beautiful. Audiences think

you got a voice to match.

We gotta keep our stars

from looking ridiculous at any cost.

- No one's got that much money.

- What's wrong with the way I talk?

Am I dumb or something?

No, it's just that Don's

had so much more experience...

Next time, write me out a speech.

I could memorize it.

Sure. Why don't you recite

the Gettysburg Address?

What do you know about it,

you piano player? Are you anybody?

Donnie, how can you let him talk

to me like that, your fiance?

My fia...

Lina, you've been reading

those fan magazines again.

Look, you shouldn't believe

all that banana oil...

...that Dora Bailey dishes out.

Now, try to get this straight:

There is nothing between us.

There has never been

anything between us.

- Just air.

- Oh, Donnie, you don't mean that.

We'll be late for R.F.'s party.

Better go in separate cars

to break up the mobs. Come on, honey.

Ta-ta, Donnie! See you there!

"Donnie."

Can't that girl take a gentle hint?

Haven't you heard? She's irresistible.

She told me so.

I can't get her out of my hair.

This romance for publicity...

The price of fame.

You've got the glory.

The little heartaches go with it.

Look at me. I got no glory.

I got no fame. I got no mansions.

I got no money. But I've got...

- What have I got?

- don't know.

I gotta get out of here.

Don't tell me. It's a flat tire.

This car hasn't given me trouble

in nearly six hours.

Hey, there's Don Lockwood!

Hey, give me an autograph!

Give me your autograph!

I want a souvenir!

I want a souvenir too!
