Swing Time Page #4

of instructress you'd like?

Yes, I have.

I'd like one that comes to about here.

And if she had red hair,

that would be a great help.

And a cute little nose.

She might be able to teach you

to move your feet.

Miss Anderson, my dear. Good morning.

Me, too.

- Mr. Gordon, this is Mr...

- Garnett.

How do you do, Mr. Garnett?

I'm delighted, I assure you.

- The young man would like a trial lesson.

- Of course.

I think Miss Carrol might please him.

Of course, Miss Carrol.

Come this way, will you?

She's one of our best instructresses.

You're a very fortunate young man

to learn to dance...

- to move...

- To flirt with Terpsichore.

Yes. What?

How do you do?

Do you mind if I wait here?

- No, help yourself.

- Thanks.

I mean to the chair.

Miss Carrol, this is Mr. Garnett.

This is Miss Penelope Carrol.

We're all so fond of her here,

we just call her Penny.

Penny, dear.

- This is Mr. Garnett.

- Penny.

Miss Carrol.

Mr. Garnett is very anxious

to learn how to dance.

So you won't always be stepping

on other people's toes.

- That's very good, isn't it?

- Yes, that's very good.

What kind of dancing

would you like to learn?

What kind have you got?

- Sap.

- Sap dancing?

- No, she means tap dancing.

- Tap dancing, of course.

You see, we have tap dancing...

and ballroom dancing

and aesthetic dancing.

If it's all the same to you,

I'll take a little of each.

A little of each, yes.

Miss Carrol wants to know

what kind you'd like to learn first?

Whichever takes the longest.

Go on, begin the lesson.

You must learn to walk first.

Now start with your right foot, please.

- No, your right foot.

- Sorry, I'm left-handed.

Right, left.

Miss Carrol, I'm sorry about your quarter.

But you see, Penny...

If you're trying to annoy me,

you're succeeding.

I know you don't care about dancing.

But I do. All the world loves a dancer.

Don't you?

Right, left.

- This is fun.

- Now you turn.

Start again. Right, left.

If you don't get out of here,

I'm going to lose my temper.

If you talk like that, I'll call a policeman.

- Why, you...

- Officer...

"Our young ladies are sweet-tempered,

patient and understanding. "

You're doing splendidly.

I don't think you need me here any longer.

I know I'm leaving you in good hands.

Lovely hands.

You know, that's the most marvelous trick

I've ever seen a magician do.

You mean the one with the four aces?

No, the way you made

my club sandwich disappear.

Who, me?

My dear young lady...

You'd better take a club sandwich

out of this hat.

Are you accusing me

of eating your sandwich?

You might begin by taking that piece

of lettuce off your necktie.
