Watch your tempo! Watch it, will you?

Get your feet off the floor.

Faster, faster!

Come on, faster! Faster!

Stop it, stop it, stop it!

It's brutal!

May I remind you that Pretty Lady's

out-of-town opening is not far away?

It's been advertised as

a musical comedy with dancing!

If it isn't asking too much,

will you please show me a little?

All right, once again. Give it something!

Come on. Ready, Jerry?

Get into it now. Come on!

Having fun?

After three weeks,

a leg ain't nothing to me...

...but something to stand on.

Let me hear your number, Dorothy.

Come on, Jerry. The "Habit" number.

Jerry, put it up a half tone, will you?

Doesn't she sing gorgeous?

Seventy thousand bucks.

Watch this, honey.

I may want you to understudy her.

All right, okay.

Come on, folks, get ready for

the duet number. Start up.

Okay, Jerry, let's go.

Come on, faster!

Faster, Jerry, faster!

What's the matter with you?

- You all right, kid?

- I guess so.

Come on, faster. Faster!

Peggy!

- Stand back! Get back in line.

- She's fainted.

Come on now, places.

This is a rehearsal, not a rest cue.

Mac, take her outside. Hurry up.

Come on, everybody.

All right, come on, get back.

Jerry, let's go.

Come on, pick it up!

- Here, sir.

- Thank you.

- Hold your places!

- Lawler, inside.

- The girl's okay.

- You feel better, honey?

I guess I fainted.

That's a good guess.

Well, I guess I'm all right now.

Bad guess. Better sit down again.

Now listen, you let me play now.

What would you suggest, doctor?

A little fresh air and conversation.

What about Mr. Marsh?

Never mind Mr. Marsh.

Let's sit this dance out.

And if I lose my job?

If you do, there just won't be any show.

Anyway, it's a nice idea.

I've got a lot of nice ideas.

What I need are ears to spill them in.

Well, won't mine do?

Yes, you know, I think

they'd do very, very nicely.

When are your ears available?

At all sorts of odd hours.

You must look them up sometime.

Remind me to tell you you're swell.

- That's all for tonight.

- All right, dismissed, girls.

Well, thanks, doctor.

Your prescription was great.

Now for the workshop.

You gotta take it daily

to really do any good.

It'll have to be

absent treatment, I'm afraid.

At least for the time being.

- Good night, Jimmy.

- Good night.

Coming, Abner?

Dorothy, where will we eat?

You know, Abner,

I'm not a bit hungry.

- But I'm all dressed for dinner.

- Oh, yes, so you are.

I'll get the car.

- Dorothy, the car's here.

- Yes, Abner.

Why, doctor, you must like it here.

I'm beginning to.

I'm not the doctor anymore, you are.

I've become the patient,

and I'd like a little advice.

Very well, but you might tell
