Show Boat Page #3

My thanks just the same, sir.

Magnolia? Magnolia.

Come help Queenie with these stores.

- Yes, Mama.

- Hawks.

Yes, Parthenia.

I've got to do it, Julie.

I've got to split his thick skull.

No, darling. It's all over now.

Let it lie.

- We can't risk any trouble in this town.

- But the scurvy, slimy...

There's still not enough room

on this boat for the two of us.

Come in.

I stole a banana for him and l...

- I'm sorry.

- It's all right, give it to him.

You can't spoil him any more

than you have already.

- Where to, Sir Lancelot?

- Get a cup of coffee.

Gonna be a good boy?

Sure. If that's what you want.

That rattle-brained mule.

Oh, golly, but he loves you.

Of course he does.

I'm the belle of the ball.

You know, I think it's wonderful.

Well, tell me about

your handsome stranger.

I saw you talking to him.

That's what you came in for, isn't it?

I asked Papa about him.

He said he's an actor looking for work.

- An actor? Your ma would love that.

- But, Julie, he's so different.

River dandies are

thick as locusts, angel.

Oh, I know. Oh, I know about men.

I've had them look at me,

and, you know, flirt and all.

But when he stood there

by the window and smiled...

Pulses began to pound

right here, huh?

Why do you love Steve so much?

The way you were just now, for instance.

Oh, Steve. I love him because...

Well, I don't know.

He's not a very good actor on-stage.

You know, he's not a very good actor

off-stage either.

But he's all mine.

And sometimes,

his eyes are like a little boy's.

There. Could you ever think

of loving anyone else?

Oh, listen, sister

I love my own Mister Man

And I can't tell you why

There ain't no reason

For me to love that man

It must be something

That the angels done plan

Fish gotta swim

Birds gotta fly

I gotta love one man till I die

Can't help

Lovin' that man of mine

Tell me he's lazy

Tell me he's slow

Tell me I'm crazy

Maybe I know

Can't help

Lovin' that man of mine

When he goes away

That's a rainy day

But when he comes back

That day is fine

The sun will shine

He can come home

As late as can be

Home without him

Ain't no home to me

Can't help

Lovin' that man of mine

Oh, Julie, that's wonderful.

I could feel that way too.

I'll bet you will some day.

- Fish gotta swim

- Birds gotta fly.

- Birds gotta fly

- I gotta love.

I gotta love

One man till I die

Can't help

Lovin' that man of mine

Down on the levee

the gals put a little shuffle in it.

Tell me he's lazy, tell me he's slow

Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know

Can't help

Lovin' that man of mine

Now watch this one, honey.

- That's a rainy day

- Yeah, that's right.

But when he comes back
