house for him. I'm a good cook, you know.

But when the war came, first I lost my father

and then I lost my house.

That's too bad.

- You want me to learn beating a type...

- Skip it. Forget it.

Look, I have to run along. We're playing

at the Lido Terrace downstairs. So long.

If you want anything, just...

call on the phone and charge it.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- I'll see you later.

- Goodbye.

(whistles)

(sotto section)

(even quieter)

(returns to full volume)

- Oh, you were wonderful!

- Well, thanks. But how did you get in here?

I just told the man at the door I was living

with you, so he brought me here. That's all.

- Anything wrong?

- No, no. Nothing.

- Have you had your dinner?

- Yes.

But I could hear you playing and I just had

to see you, because I've made up my mind.

- You have?

- And nothing will ever change it.

I've found him.

- Found who?

- The man I'm going to marry.

Already? Gee, that's wonderful.

I'm sure you'll be very happy.

Oh, you will be too.

You'll make a wonderful husband.

Thanks. I'm... What?!

- It's you.

- Me? Now wait a minute...

I was sure of it when I first saw you,

and just now when you played,

I knew I was right.

Listen, honey...

I said to myself, "He's been so wonderful

to you. That's how you can repay him."

That's a very nice thought,

but you don't have to carry it that far.

Maybe in Norway they marry

to pay off the mortgage, but not here.

You get married because you want to...

well, because you're in love.

I am in love.

Look, you're a very sweet kid,

but you just imagine you're in love with me.

- Besides, I have a girl.

- Only one?

Only one, and I happen

to be very fond of her.

- But you're not married yet.

- No, but...

Then there's time

to change your mind.

- Well, hello.

- Hello, Vivian.

This is Karen Benson, who I told you about.

Miss Dawn.

- How do you do?

- I'm delighted.

I'm so glad Ted brought you down tonight.

Ted, she's much prettier than she looked

in that newspaper picture of you greeting her.

- Sit down, dear.

- Thank you.

I suppose I'll be one more to ask that

original question: how do you like New York?

I think I could like it very much.

Oh, she will. She hasn't had a chance

to see much yet, just the ride uptown.

We'll have to do something about that.

You'll be popular with your men friends,

having such an attractive sightseer in tow.

You'll be popular with your men friends,

having such an attractive sightseer in tow.

- Perhaps I should go along to protect Karen.

- I don't need protection.

Oh, are you going to keep Ted all to yourself?

- Karen hasn't begun to think of such things.
