they`re not even like friends anymore.
And others haven`t changed at all.
So there`s no job anyplace, is that it?.
Well--
[KNOCKlNG]
FERDl:
Come in.
Oh, there you are, Nora.
You were wonderful.
NORA:
Thank you, Gordon.
[WHlSPERS]
Her brother, I hope.
NORA:
I want you to meet Dick Johnson.
-Mr. Coome, Mr. Johnson.
-[lN NORMAL VOlCE] How do you do?.
-Glad to know you.
-Mr. Johnson is just out of the Army.
He`s looking for a job.
-Don`t put yourself--
-Couldn`t you place him in the show?.
-What can you do?.
-Not much of anything, really--
He sings, and beautifully. I heard you.
-You had water in your ears.
-I could hear it. I liked what I heard.
-Ask Ferdi.
-I didn`t hear him. I was playing the piano.
I`ll see what can be done.
-ln about a half-hour, Nora?.
-Yes, l`ll be ready.
No wonder you haven`t landed a job.
-You acted as if you didn`t even want one.
-Well, I didn`t come down--
Why are you so backward
about pushing yourself?.
Maybe l`m the modest type.
You know, l`ve half a notion
to take you in hand.
DlCK:
You know,I think that`d be pretty wonderful.
[SlNGlNG]
When I hear music
I dream of romance
That`s why I love to dance
I must seek romance on crowded floors
For that`s when my cheek
Is close to yours
When we`re alone
I don `t stand half a chance
That`s why I love to dance
Tell me, why can `t this music
Go on forever?
Must we stop
Just because all the others do?
I need the music with all its charms
To get you into my lonely arms
When we`re alone
You`re as distant as France
That`s why I love to dance
That`s why I love
To dance
[WHlSPERS]
Gordon always takes the check.
Whispering, that`s not etiquette.
[lN NORMAL VOlCE] Well, isn`t it nice
that we`re all here together?.
Now we can talk about that job.
Oh, yes, the job.
-Well, mister, uh--
DlCK:
Johnson.Mr. Johnson, l`ve been wondering if--
-Do you think you can sing underwater?.
-Underwater?.
could you swim and then sing?.
-Well, I sing when I take a shower.
-Now, this would be entirely different.
Why don`t you and Nora dance?.
That`s an alluring two-step.
A rumba, Ferdi, but alluring.
You order for us, Gordon, and we`ll talk
about the job when we get back.
Hey, what`s the idea, Ferdi?.
Gordon, you bewilder me daily,
Sundays and holidays included.
Huh?.
You`re gonna give that slick-looking guy
a job in the same show with Nora?.
-But Nora asked me to.
-So what?.
Do you have to do everything
Nora asks you to do?.
I guess I do.
Didn`t your father ever tell you
about life and women?.
-What do you mean?.
-Gordon...
