we have much better merchandise.

We have violins, we have flutes...

we have...

Wonderful. Something new. Look.

Some of our sales force

do not agree with me...

but I think it's charming.

I guarantee you didn't find anything

as lovely as this at Gregory's.

I don't think you understand.

I worked at Gregory Brothers.

I'm looking for a job.

But wait a minute.

I play the piano and the violin.

Wait. You can play what you want,

I have no time.

Good morning.

Why do you put me

in a situation like that?

- I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault.

- Whose fault was it? Mine?

- Yes, I think it was.

- What's the matter with you?

You feel to me like a son,

but every time you contradict me.

Whatever I say, you say no. Why?

All right. From now on, I'll say:

"Yes, Mr. Oberkugen.

Certainly, Mr. Oberkugen. "

I'll take care of this.

There's no use your waiting around.

As soon as there's an opening,

you'll be called first.

- Tell me, do you like it?

- Yes.

You see. Is it so hard to play?

No, anyone can learn. And it's so romantic.

What's romantic about it?

The soft, rippling music...

- and the way your hands...

- That's the woman's point of view.

- How much are you asking for it?

- I thought $75.

Yes, that's a bargain.

- A real bargain.

- It's a pretty harp, isn't it?

- Yes, it's a very unusual one.

- I was really looking for a song.

May I help you?

Here's a very popular song of the day.

I knew you sang. I could tell by your voice.

Of course, for anyone who sings,

the harp is so flattering. Your hands...

I have hardly any voice,

but if there's a number you'd like to hear...

How about this? You might like it.

Lovely Iyrics.

No, this. Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland.

- Could someone...

- Yes, may I?

- Fine. Thank you.

- Come.

- Go to the piano.

- Isn't it pretty?

Please, madam, have a seat.

- Of course, if you can't play...

- I can play.

Sure, he can play. Sit down.

Meet me tonight

in dreamland

under the silv'ry moon

Meet me tonight

in dreamland

where love's sweet roses bloom

Come with the love light gleaming

in your dear eyes of blue

Meet me in dreamland

sweet, dreamy dreamland

there let my dreams

come true

Meet me tonight in dreamland

under the silv'ry moon

Meet me tonight in dreamland

where love's sweet roses bloom

Come with the love light gleaming

in your dear eyes of blue

Meet me in dreamland

Sweet, dreamy dreamland

There let my dreams

come true

Lovely.

- How much is it?

- $99.50, reduced from $100.

- I'll take it.

- Fine.

Could I have the sales book, please?

And your pencil.

- Sure you wouldn't like my job, too?

- Not yet.

- Aunt Addie.

- In here, dear.

I have a job.

- Position.

Samson Raphaelson

Samson Raphaelson (1894–1983) was a leading American playwright, screenwriter and fiction writer. While working as an advertising executive in New York, he wrote a short story based on the early life of Al Jolson, called The Day of Atonement, which he then converted into a play, The Jazz Singer. This would become the first talking picture, with Jolson as its star. He then worked as a screenwriter with Ernst Lubitsch on sophisticated comedies like Trouble in Paradise, The Shop Around the Corner, and Heaven Can Wait, and with Alfred Hitchcock on Suspicion. His short stories appeared in The Saturday Evening Post and other leading magazines, and he taught creative writing at the University of Illinois. more…
