If you take off the proper

Listen to your papa

Take off the proper amount

Well?.

I just wanted to see how you looked

without Ferdi in the background.

-He is very devoted to my interests.

-And to you.

Of course.

Ferdi`s like one of the family.

He has been ever since

he used to troupe with my father.

Why, I can hardly remember

when Ferdi wasn`t around taking care of us.

Tell me about yourself, Nora.

About your family,

what you like, what you don`t like...

...or anything else I might find useful.

Well, my family.

Cambaretti sounds ltalian, but it isn`t.

It`s French.

And I would have been the fifth generation

of the family in the circus.

Except I took up swimming instead.

Did they understand

or did they want you to stay in the circus?.

Oh, no. No, it was all right...

...after I became a headliner.

The Cambarettis

have always been headliners.

Anyway, there`s a sixth generation now,

so perhaps--

You`re not married?.

Oh, no, no. Of course not.

It`s my niece, Deborah Cambaretti.

FERDl [SlNGlNG] :

Let them say it with flowers

Let them say it with sweets

Let them say it with skating

Let them say it with eats

Let them say it with jewelry

Let them say it with mink

But you better be careful

Don `t let them say it with:

Ink a-dink-a-dee, a-dink-a-doo,

A-dink-a-dee

Maybe we` d better just give in

and adopt him.

I adopted him a long time ago

when I was just a little girl.

I guess I can learn to tell you your eyes

are beautiful while Ferdi`s glaring at me.

Your eyes are beautiful.

And I could go on from there, if--

If what?.

If we could sneak off

to a little place I know.

They serve hotcakes and little pig sausages

and they`re completely minus a piano.

Ink a-dink-a-dee, a-dink-a-doo,

A-dink-a-dee

Simply means:

Ink a-dink-a-dee, a-dink-a-doo

-Good night, Dick.

-Good night, Nora.

Thanks for a wonderful evening.

See you tomorrow.

[KNOCKlNG]

Hello, Ferdi.

Hello, Nora.

Come on in.

Ferdi, l`m sorry about tonight.

Sorry you ditched me?.

We didn`t ditch you. It--

Well, it`s just that Dick wanted

to go on to this other place and--

Nora, what do you know about this guy,

anyway?.

He`s just somebody

who walked in off the streets.

I`m a big girl now, Ferdi.

You`re not angry, are you?.

Does it matter much?.

Ferdi...

...once when I was a little girl,

you were angry with me...

...or at least I thought you were.

I couldn`t go to sleep for hours

that night.

I couldn`t go to sleep tonight unless l--

Well, unless I knew for sure

that everything was all right between us.

Nora, there will never be a time when

everything won`t be all right between us.

Thank you, Ferdi.
