In the Good Old Summertime Page #5

Synopsis: It's turn of the century America when Andrew and Veronica first meet - by crashing into each other. They develop an instant and mutual dislike which intensifies when, later on, Andrew is forced to hire Veronica as a saleslady at Oberkugen's music store. What the two don't know is that while they may argue and fight constantly throughout the day, they are actually engaged in an innocent, romantic and completely anonymous relationship by night, through the post office.

If you don't know, Mr. Oberkugen,

who does?

- Good morning.

- Morning.

They look fine, the harps.

I wish the customers thought so.

- Good morning, Uncle... Mr. Oberkugen.

- Morning.

Good morning.

We're having a wonderful morning.

- Yeah?

- Yes, I just sold my third gramophone.

Good morning, Otto.

I've been looking over the bills.

We ought to attend to some of these...

They shouldn't have left that there.

I love it.

Of all the instruments,

the harp is perhaps the most beautiful.

Look at it, the classic lines,

the mysterious tones...

it seems to come from the air.

It's wonderful.

You don't have to keep them.

Kramer will take them back.

We're good customers.

We've given them

a lot of business this year.

- All you have to do is to eXplain...

- Wait a minute. What should I eXplain?

But you can see for yourself,

we've had them for two months.

Nobody will buy them.

- I'll call up Kramer.

- You shouldn't call.

They will sell, I know.

Please give them time.

This is my business.

Very well. There's the bill for them.

I've done the best I can.

I never saw such a man. Stubborn!

- $19.75 out of $20, please.

- May I have your sales check?

Certainly.

Let's see. That's $241 worth of business

I've done already this morning.

- Splendid.

- So you see, you were wrong.

This shop could stand

another salesperson.

10 cents, 20 cents, 25 cents.

I think you're angry because I sold a harp

and you couldn't.

On the contrary, I'm delighted.

- I only wish you could sell the other 99.

- Who knows? I may.

Thank you very much.

Please come and see us again soon.

It's always nice to see you.

I'll open the door for you.

- Just a moment, please.

- Yes, sir.

Could you tell me how this goes?

- I'd be very glad to play it for you here.

- Thank you.

This is a very popular song of the day.

I think you might like it.

Put your arms around me, honey

hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up

with all your might

Oh, babe, won't you

Excuse me. Would you like a little help?

- All right.

- Fine. From the beginning?

I'll sing the verse.

Introduction, please.

Key of B flat. Here we go.

Nighttime am a-fallin ', everything is still

and the moon am a-shinin ' from above

Cupid am a-callin ', every Jack and Jill

It's just about the time for makin ' love

Someone is a-waitin ' all alone for me

No more hesitatin '

I must go and see

How d'ye do, dear?

It's with you, dear

that I long to be

Put your arms around me, honey

Hold me tight

Huddle up and cuddle up

with all your might

Oh, babe

won't you roll them eyes?

Eyes that

I just idolize

When they look at me

my heart begins to float

Then it starts a-rockin '

like a motorboat

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…
