Gold Diggers of 1933 Page #2

Synopsis: Chorus girls Polly, Carol and Trixie are ecstatic when they learn that Broadway producer Barney Hopkins is putting on a new show. He promises all of the girls parts in the new show and even hires their neighbor Brad Roberts, an unknown composer, to write some of the music. There's only one problem: he doesn't have the money to bankroll it all. That problem is solved when Brad turns out to be quite rich but he insists that he not perform. When opening night comes, the juvenile lead can't go on forcing Brad to take the stage. He's recognized of course and his upper crust family wants him to quit. When he refuses, they tell him to end his relationship with Polly or face having his income cut off. When Brad's snobbish brother Lawrence mistakes Carol for Polly, the girls decide to have a bit of fun and teach him a lesson.

when you're talking to Barney.

They certainly know what they're doing...

when they dress

their hostesses in that drugstore.

- Well, you don't look bad.

- Now, take these papers...

get through the enemy's lines,

and ride like blazes.

- Taxi fare.

- Lots of luck, Carol.

Thanks.

Here we go, laughing and wondering.

Say, watch yourself in the clinches.

Don't forget that dress...

belongs to the drugstore.

I'd like to meet that druggist.

Now, the best comedian on Broadway

will proceed to make beds.

Well, I'm going to get a glass of milk.

In the shadows

let me come and sing to you

Let me dream a song that I can bring

To you

Take me in your arms

and let me cling to you

Let me linger long

Let me live my song

In the winter, let me bring the spring

To you

Let me feel that I mean everything

To you

Love's old song

Will be new

In the shadows, when I come and sing

To you

Dear

In the shadows

When I come and sing

To you

You can't turn these sheets anymore.

They've only got two sides.

Polly, will you quit mooning over

that good-for-nothing songwriter again?

- Now where's that going to get you?

- He's wonderful, Trixie.

- Honey, he's a songwriter.

- So is Irving Berlin.

- What's wrong about being a songwriter?

- How long have you known him?

Two weeks?

What do you know about him?

I knew everything I wanted to know

the minute I met him.

- Maybe it's Carol.

- Oh.

Hello.

It's true, it's really true.

He's putting on a show.

It's true. Barney's putting on a show.

We're coming right up to the apartment.

Be there in 10 minutes.

Phone all the girls.

Phone Fay and Ruth and Mary and Gwen.

Phone them all. Tell them to come

right up to the apartment.

- He hasn't cast yet, no.

- Hurry and don't lose him.

- They're coming up.

- Who?

Barney and Carol. Phone Fay.

Phone all the girls. We're all set.

No, you phone them.

I've got to dig up the old sex appeal.

The way I feel this morning

I'll need a steam shovel.

Half a mile, four, eight...

Step on it, Polly.

They ought to be here any minute now.

Almost ready.

Gosh, to think that we're going to have

real jobs again, earn money.

Yeah, and I've been

off the gold standard so long.

It's them.

- Come on in, Barney, and meet the girls.

- Hello, Mr. Hopkins.

- Howdy. Howdy.

- Hello, Mr. Hopkins.

I've seen that face before.

Well, if it isn't Barney.

Good old, smiling, big-hearted Barney.

- Barney, we hear you're putting on a show.

- Yes, I'm doing a show.

You sound more enthusiastic than usual.

Does that mean it's good?

You said it's good.

It's the finest thing I ever had.

Come on over here and sit down

and tell us all about it, Mr. Hopkins.
