Tonight and Every Night Page #2

a loom, Mr. Lawson.

When you're not at the mill,

what do you dance to?

Oh, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach,

Gilbert and Sullivan.

Whatever's coming in

over the radio.

Now I've heard everything.

Sam.

Bring me your wireless.

Move back, girls,

and give him room.

Young man,

the stage is yours.

Thank you.

Oh, no, no, no. Leave it

alone. I often dance to him.

Very interesting,

young man.

That trick thing

you did on the stairs.

Will you do it

again, please?

I don't think I can.

TOLLIVER:
What do you mean?

Well, I don't

remember the steps.

I Just make them up

as I go along.

You have talent, young man, but

it's a Sunday-driver sort of talent.

I wouldn't know

how to use it.

Half an hour, everybody,

and be back on time.

Tolly.

What is it?

You're crazy if you let

that boy go. He's wonderful.

Give him a chance, Tolly. Think

of what he can do for the show.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Hey, Manchester,

wait a minute.

Don't let Tolly

get you down.

I've been a dancer

all my life,

and I know dancing

when I see it.

Well, I'm glad

you liked it.

Hold on a minute.

I liked it too.

Oh, I meant you too.

But you've got to

set a routine

and do it exactly the

same way every time.

And you must remember it.

It's no good. I'm going back to my loom.

Look, if you go back

home now, you're licked.

You've got something to sell. Sell it.

You're very kind,

both of you.

But this business of dancing the

same way all the time, I can't...

You can do it.

We're going to teach you

everything you know.

Go ahead, Judy.

Now watch me.

Got it?

Got it.

Go ahead, try it.

All right.

Well, I've seen better

and I've seen worse.

Now that's a bit

of all right.

How do you know?

How do I know? I've worked

in the theater 15 years.

What do you know?

What do I know?

Haven't I worked with some of the

biggest managers in this business?

Go on. You cleaned their

theaters, that's what.

Well, they never did nothing

without asking me, "What about it?"

Come off it.

"Mrs. Peabody," they'd say.

"In or out?"

And it was usually out.

Well, what do you

think now, Mrs. Peabody?

Ma'am, you did give me

a nasty turn.

Well, what do you think?

In.

Put that light out.

Don't you know

there's a war on?

Sorry, Mr. Warden.

It was my fault.

I Just wanted to see our

names in lights before...

Pilot to navigator. Pilot to

navigator. Where the devil are we?

Can't get my bearings

in this bottle of ink.

Wow!

Gentlemen, we seem to have

located an obJective.

Our target

for tonight, sir?

We can try, gentlemen.

We can try.

Changing course, sir.

You excite me

Beyond my power

to explain

Yours is the art

to start my heart

A bubbling
