One Touch of Venus Page #6

Synopsis: In the art department of a large department store, the statue of the famed Anatolian Venus comes to life and falls in love with Eddie Hatch, a window trimmer. Just before the unveiling of the prized statue, Eddie takes "Venus" to the model-display house in the store, where the store's boss finds her. He, too, falls in love with her and makes her Glamour Girl Number One. Eddie and Venus dance in Central Park, but Eddie is arrested for stealing the statue. Venus goes back to her pedestal and Eddie is released. While Eddie is sadly preparing for another unveiling, a new employee asks him a question. She tells him her name is Venus Jones.

You've got to both get out!

What's behind that screen?

Dirty dishes.

Kindly remove it.

Oh, Mrs. Gogarty,

I had to give her a square meal.

I said to myself, "Well, Mrs. Gogarty,

with her kind heart--"

There. You see?

There's nobody here.

Oh, Mrs. Gogarty, there's nothing

in there but a sink and a tub

and things like that.

So you take them, too!

- What?

- I adore bubble baths.

I take them all the time,

especially those ones

with the lovely jasmine smell.

Odor of Pine Tar.

- My husband uses that.

- He does?

Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Hatch,

but you know one can't be

too careful these days.

No, no. Well, good night, Mrs. Gogarty.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Love that smell.

- Yes. Good night.

Miss Venus!

Your Majesty!

- Miss Venus!

- Here I am! Is she gone?

Oh, my gosh!

Get out of there, quick!

Oh, no! No! Wait a minute!

And get dressed in a hurry!

Open the door, Eddie Hatch!

Oh, honest, Gloria, Eddie wouldn't

do anything like that to you.

And get away with it.

Hurry! Hurry!

Come and get your soup!

It's hot!

- Hur--

- Did I help?

Yes, yes. You were wonderful.

Come on.

Eddie! Open the door!

See, Gloria?

There's no woman here.

There's no Eddie, either.

That phony!

Pretending he's sick just

to get rid of me!

Boy, wait till the next time I see him.

He won't have to pretend.

Gloria, there wouldn't be anybody

in there.

Moonlight Madness?

$40 an ounce! Smell!

- It's worth it.

- Worth it?

Now wait a minute!

Oh, Gloria.

Now take it easy.

I chase around worrying

about his health,

and he just chases around!

You don't understand.

A lot of things could've happened.

Eddie--

Quiet. You want

the watchman to hear us?

- He won't bother us.

- He certainly will.

Don't you realize I'm breaking

into the store?

I'll turn him into an owl.

- A what?

- An owl.

It's very easy.

I just go like that, and he's an owl.

Oh, come on!

Excuse me.

It's locked.

Now what am I gonna do?

Well, haven't you got any ideas?

Look, it's late.

You've got to have someplace to stay.

Don't you ever want to go to sleep?

Come on.

You see, I trust you, Eddie.

Come on.

What's wrong now?

Aren't you gonna carry me

over the threshold?

Why do you keep acting

as if we were on our honeymoon?

Oh, all right!

You stay here tonight.

You'll be nice and comfortable.

I'll get you out in the morning.

Oh, it's lovely.

Oh, well, this is the very latest thing.

Now, everything is operated

through this master control.

Now, there's the radio and the bed

and the air conditioning and the kitchen.

Show me how it works.

Well, I'll turn on the radio.

We'll have to wait a little while,

you know, for it to warm up.
