Beyond the Sea Page #6

Hello, Sandra Dee, I'm Bobby Darin.

- I believe we're making a movie together.

- Hello.

Sandy, we have to go now.

I have an interview.

Tell 'em you met Bobby Darin

and he's gonna marry you.

Come on, Pom-Pom. Nice hat, Mr Darin.

- I think she likes me, Charlie.

- The mother?

- That's a different story.

- She'sjust doing her job.

Whatjob is that?

Steering her daughter clear of guys

like you!

Yeah, well, guess what, Charlie?

Mama'sjob just got a whole lot

tougher.

Yeah. That's my boy.

So, Mr Darin, I've read that you

think very highly of yourself.

Well, Miss Duvan, I'm a man

who was raised to believe

that you should have a plan in life.

So once I've set my mind to

achieving something, that's it.

Would you excuse me for a second?

She has a slight cold.

You know, Miss Duvan... Mary...

I just think your daughter's

absolutely terrific.

I just think she's the most wonderful

thing on earth.

But she's still only a child.

What you need is an older woman.

I just wanna be friendly with her.

We're doing a movie together,

she acts like she don't even like me.

Give her time.

She's not very comfortable around strangers.

Mary, I got an idea.

Why don't you let me take her out?

- On a date?

- No, no, for publicity. One time.

I'd never let her do anything like

that.

Mary, think about what it would mean

for the movie.

- One time?

- One time.

Well, maybe we can do something.

For publicity.

I swear undying fealty to thee,

Sandra Dee, Queen o' the Hop.

And I pronounce thee, Sir Splish

Splash.

- Arise, Sir Splish Splash.

- How was that, guys?

- Whoa!

- What about Rock Hudson?

- Rock Hudson's great. Isn't he great?

- He's great.

- I say we ditch these clowns.

- What?

- As soon as I say "run", run.

- You like it here?

- Terrific.

- You plan on more films together?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God!

Run. Run!

Hey!

Are you OK?

I can't believe I just did that.

God, you're beautiful.

Come on.

You OK? You look kind of pale.

Oh, no, I'm OK. I just kind of run out

of gas sometimes, that's all.

It really makes you think,

being in a place this old.

I mean, people have been

living here and loving here,

struggling, dying, for thousands of

years.

And now you and I are here.

So, what kind of things do you like?

Well, I can think of one right now.

- Really.

- Oh, OK.

Erm... let me think.

A great melody.

Seeing somebody do something better

than anybody else in the whole world.

Ice cream. A good book.

What about you? What kind of things

does Sandra Dee like?

Er... long walks on the beach.

Crossword puzzles.

Empty studios.

- Elvis.

- Hey.

Just making sure

you're paying attention.

I'm paying attention, trust me.
