This Time for Keeps Page #6

-I tell you. No more audition today.

Run off. Go and rest yourself

for a few months.

-And be back in time for dinner.

-Thanks, Dad.

-Goodbye, Mr. Randall.

-Goodbye, Dick.

Goodbye, Dad.

""Slip me five.""

He`s all mixed up.

He`s way up there or down in the dump.

Oh, give him a little time.

Yes, l`ll give him a little time.

And then l`ll give him something else.

I`ll give him a little of the old country.

Places, everybody. Places.

Hello, Duncan.

Hello. When do I go on?.

Someday soon.

Where`s your mother?.

I lost her again.

Old man,

you`re a victim of mass production.

Places.

-Come on, Duncan.

-Where were you hiding, underwater?.

Nora isn`t here yet.

Nora`s skipping the rehearsal.

Use the understudy.

-She`s not sick?.

-No, she`s fine.

What did you say yes to this time?.

Look, Ferdi, I know you think

l`m a doormat for Nora. Maybe I am.

Maybe I think

that`s the smartest thing to be.

A useful article, a doormat.

Yeah, well, just as many women

have married doormats as roller-skaters.

-Huh?.

-Nora went roller-skating.

Not with that bawling baritone?.

Now he wants to show her

he`s the athletic type.

Rehearsal dismissed.

Now I gotta go to the rescue on skates.

Duncan, don`t you dare go in there.

Don`t you dare go--

DUNCAN:

Come on. Catch me.

Please, don`t. Please don`t.

Ha, ha, ha.

FERDl:

When I get--!

[SlNGlNG] Every time they start off

With a water ballet

There`s the customary swimming pool

To swim in

But we don `t wanna do it

In the customary way

So we start off

Just with bathing suits and women

It`s mutiny, that`s what I calls it.

In swimming suits, you`re due.

A t least, I hope our lovely star

Won `t double-cross me too

What`s the idea?.

You`re going swimming, ain`t you?.

-That`s right.

-Well, where`s your bathing cap?.

Where`d she go?.

Hope Gene Kelly saved his money.

You bruised me. Be careful.

Look at the time

I wasted being a stamp collector.

FERDl [SlNGlNG] :

Just because you got furs on your backs

You let your ambition relax

-[SlNGlNG] But fur means money

-And money means income

And where there is income

There`s tax

And speaking of taxes

Be wise

Just do what the experts advise

Take 1 0 percent off for your agent

Take 1 0 percent off for the press

Then take another 1 0

For your publicity men

What`s another 1 0 more or less?

Then take off a few incidentals

It`s the little things that really count

Anyone with half a brain

Can show a capital gain

If you take off the proper

Listen to your papa

Take off the proper amount

So they took off a few incidentals

And they made each incidental count

It`s a certainty, my friend

That you`ll have more in the end
