You Were Never Lovelier Page #2

These skirmishes I have with your

mother are not typical of married life.

- Aren't they, Father?

- No, they're just typical of me.

- I'm very difficult to live with.

- No, you're not, darling.

You're really just a little boy,

and I love you.

And I love you too, darling.

Will you hook me, Eduardo?

Delfina, don't you think it's about time

you learned to dress yourself?

It's so hard for me to believe I'm old

enough to have a married daughter.

It doesn't put any strain on me.

Julia.

Where are the rest of my girls?

Oh, Maria! Lita! Cecy!

- Coming, Mother.

- Coming, Mama!

I want to see you all in a row.

Oh! I'm going to cry tonight.

You'd better start now. It's getting late.

Do you want some last-minute advice?

Just don't act too intelligent

on your honeymoon.

I made that mistake with your father.

That reminds me. Tell me something

clever to say after the wedding.

Oh, dear, I'm so happy.

Hurry, girls.

Now remember, keep in step.

I am going to cry.

I'm going to cry right now.

He didn't even look around.

Have your son pass the word. I have

three more where Julia came from.

- You two ask Papa now.

- While he's laughing.

Come on.

- Mr. Acuna.

- Yes?

We've been going with your daughters

Cecy and Lita for two years now and...

What do you want, a pension?

- All right, who's going to be next?

- I am.

- Maria has to catch it.

- Yes.

But I don't want it.

- Here's a volunteer groom.

- Let's have a double wedding.

- I'm between engagements.

- Here I am.

How about me?

Oh, you're all much too kind.

Papa! Papa! Did you see Maria?

She froze those boys.

Papa, you've just got

to do something about her.

Pardon me, could you please tell me

where I could find Mr. Acuna?

He went inside.

On second thought,

I guess old el groucho can wait.

Don't these overdone weddings

bore you to death? They kill me.

I say if two people want

to get married, let them.

They don't have to go through

a shindig like this. It's murder.

Oh, well, I'll admit my attempt

at conversation wasn't so hot.

Shall I try again?

It's a nice day, isn't it?

The air's nice.

And there seems to be

an abundance of it.

Say, look, would you mind very much

if I tear myself away from you?

No.

But you don't understand.

Now, let's hear no more about Maria.

Run along, girls.

May I see you a moment, please?

It's very important to both of us.

I'm Robert Davis.

I came here to dance and...

Hello.

Now, what is there about that girl

that made you go...?

She's beautiful.

She's beautiful, all right.

But she has a personality

She is? She is?!

She is. Now, what was it
