At Long Last Love (1975)
Gentleman.
Some gentleman. I wouldn't talk if I were you. That's one thing I am not, thank God. What? You. What? You, you big weasel. I'm not you. Thank you. You have such a way with words. Don't. What? Touch the lights. Oh, yes, I keep forgetting. You love dark rooms. Yeah? Like a bat. I'd rather be a bat than a duck. Hmm. Thought I was a weasel. You are a weasel and a duck. Rather intriguing combination, I'd say. What? Never mind. You're too drunk to follow anything intricate. Oh, yeah? Where are you going? Home. To mother. On the next train. Oh, that's sweet. All I do is just take a few drinks to unwind from the show... Unravel, you mean. Come again. No, I don't believe I will actually. I'm rather bored with the whole thing. You're bored. Good night. Why do you think I drink? Good-bye. Oh, what an exit. Theatricality, my dear, is your department. Oh, wait a minute. I gotta write that down someplace. "Theatricality, my dear, is your department." Very clever. Clever. With a million neon rainbows burning below me And a million blazing taxis raising a roar; Here I am Above the town In my pet pailletted gown Down in the depths On the 90th floor Mmm! While the crowds at El Morocco punish the parquet; And at 21, the couples clamor for more More! More! More! I'm deserted and depressed In my regal eagle nest; Down in the depths On the 90th floor When the one you thought you wanted Wants ms mother What's the use of swank and cash in the bank galore? Why, even the janitor's wife Has a perfectly good love life And here am I; Facing tomorrow Alone in my sorrow Down in the depths On the 90th floor Oh, God. All right. I'll see you and raise you 40. That's too damn rich for me. I'm out. Aw, Willie, you're no sport. I'll see that. And you're a sap. So am I, I guess. I'm in. Now it's up to me. That's right, Johnny boy. Cost you 40 to stay in. I don't know. Don't tell us you're shy suddenly. Don't be a sore loser, Willie. It's unbecoming. I don't see what you're so cheerful about. Shh! This guy's a one-man crash. Shush yourself. I bet. Yeah, you always do. All right, here they are. Tens and kings. Two pair, ace high. I could've beat that. Yeah, so can I. Three boys and two little giris. Didn't I tell you I was a sap? What do you got? None of your business. Well, Mr. Spanish? Oh, I'm sorry. Uh-oh. Here it comes. Okay, save the apologies. Let's see what you have. Now don't be a sore loser. Two of these. My giris. And three of these. My goodness. I'm sorry. I love this guy. I think we'd better quit- He's been sorry all night. Before my wife wakes up and shoots me. I'm tired of being a masochist. Gentlemen. Hey, I know what you mean. Gentlemen, when my heart is sick, I've got a remedy that does the trick. You win. No. Gentlemen. Gentlemen. Whenever you are blue, I advise you to try my remedy too. Just say... Tomorrow Your trouble will be done tomorrow Your victory will be won tomorrow We're all gonna have fun 'cause there ain't gonna be no sorrow; Tomorrow That's right. We won't be playing you tomorrow. Yes, yes, tomorrow It's all gonna be grand tomorrow You'll start leading the band tomorrow We'll live in a new land I say this to myself in Venice, and here I am. You should've stayed in Venice. See ya, Murray. Because there Ain't gonna be no sorrow tomorrow Ciao. Ciao yourself. Still low, Harry? Nobody wild about Harry? Ooh, ooh, ooh! Ooh, domani. Eh, domani. You're sure gonna meet The one you'll adore God forbid. I got enough troubles as it is. Your heart gonna beat as never before It'll stop. No, it's all gonna change From darkness to dawn Mmm, Barney Google here. Ah! Why do you squeal and feel so darn bitter? You'll score like a Yankee hitter; The Dodgers are winning. Tomorrow, the season will be spring Tomorrow, the birds will all sing Tomorrow, Signor Cupid will be king So there ain't gonna be no sorrow Tomorrow No. Why borrow even a small cup of sorrow? Instead, get in your head, mo caro. That there ain't gonna be no sorrow tomorrow No, no, there ain't gonna be no sorrow For you and me Tomorrow Aah! What did you say? Quarter to 6:00, Miss Carter. A quarter of 6:00? In the morning. It's still dark out. Yes, ma'am, but it's lightenin' up. I think you should have your watch fixed. I will, ma'am, just as soon as I get one. Good mornin'- I mean, good night, Miss Carter. Good night. Quarter of 6:00. Better not be quarter of 6:00. I told that goon to get me back by - Oh! These are going back. I told Beth they pinch. It's like wearing two vises. Vise? Two vise. So, where did she put that thing? Oh, no. It is quarter of 6:00. I wonder, which is the right life? The simple or the nightlife? When, pray, should one rise? At sunset or at sunrise? Which should be upper; My breakfast or my supper? Which is the right life? Which? What? No. "Which." If the wood nymph left the park, would Park Avenue excite her? Would the glowworm trade her spark for the latest Dunhill lighter? Here's a question I would pose Tell me which the sweeter smell makes The aroma of the rose Or the perfume that Chanel makes? Or this letter the hotel sent? Oh Which is the right life? The simple or the nightlife? I don't know. I don't know. This says we are being thrown out, so somethin' is wrong. When, pray, should one rise? At sunset or at sunrise? Well, when you figure it out, call me, huh? Which should be the upper; My breakfast or my supper? Which is the right life? Which- Beth! What time is it, Rodney? 6:00, sir. 6300? Hmm. I'm sick of 6:00. Sir? Why isn't it 7:00 or even 8:00? Well, it was just 5:00 recently, sir, and 6:00 does precede 7:00 and 8:00. I'm sure there's a logic to that somewhere, but it's just too tiring to think about. Yes, sir. After hunting all over for pleasure With some measure of success Are you singing to me, sir? No. I was just singing to myself. Yes, sir. Go right ahead, sir. I've decided the pace known as rapid Leads to vapid nothingness And Fm; Tired of betting, tired of sporting, tired of flirting, tired of courting Tired of racing, tired of yachting, tired of loafing Tired of rotting Tired of dining, tired of wining Tired of tea-ing Tired of being tired fired, '(wed Oh Won't somebody care For a poor young millionaire? Mr. Pritchard. Don't stop, Rod. I just need a little air. Sir, wouldn't the window suffice? Please don't slow down. If you knew what blues meant, you'd find me amusement. Well, I've tried. I've tried. Step on it, Rod. God knows I've tried. I've had every thrill From a Rolls-Royce to a Ford And there's no concealing the fact I'm feeling Bored, bored Bored Haven't seen you in a long time. Such a child. What a lovely little tie. Is it a boy or girl? A girl? You should dress her differently. Harold. Yeah. Such a doll. Look at her eyes. Yeah, a little doll. Harold. Give me the children. Harold! Oh. Oh, Harold, turn that off. Oh, would that I could, ma'am. Oh, it's the sun. The sun it is. Give me the sun, Mother. Aren't we looking pretty today? Thank you. I need a refill and a cab. Ah, some refreshment and a conveyance. Yes. You're in my way. You wanna get killed? Ooh, there's one. Taxi. You're sure you wouldn't like to get back in now, sir? Oh, I think I look rather striking out here. What? Striking. Yes, I know, but-What? Uh-oh. Taxi! Gracious, you're heavy. I'm awfully sorry. What the hell were you doing, anyway, hanging onto that taxi? Are you all right, Miss O'Kelly? Oh, it sobered me up anyhow. Mr. Pritchard, are you hurt? No. I landed on something soft. Hmm. I like you. Thank you. Would you like to have a drink on that? Sir, I'm afraid the car isn't so fit. Oh, really? What's the matter? I don't smoke. She doesn't smoke. She doesn't smoke. I knew that. Now, who's this? Rodney James. He used to drive for me. Very funny. Hello, Rodney. A pleasure. He's very formal. Yes. He tries to compensate for me. What's your name? Kitty O'Kelly. I don't believe that. Well, I know what you mean. But the real one's Kathy Krumm with a "K." How would that look in lights? Crummy with a. What would you be doing in lights anyway? I'm a singer. Oh. What do you do? Nothing. I'm an heir. What? Well, that's not a taxi. Nope. That's your car. Yep. Look what I did to it. That's all right. I got a couple of others. You do? Mm-hmm. What kind? Just like this one. I can't tell 'em apart. I like you more and more. Thank you. Is that why you call this one MOP III? No, actually, that's me. You're the third MOP? Yeah. You ever get bored? Never. Rodney. Sir! Call a cab. Excuse us. Excuse us. Hurry up! It's starting. I hope we miss it. Oh, will you stop badgering me? I'm not badgering you. We're lost. I'm making sense. Oh, where do we Beth, bet? What'd you have in mind, honey? "Beth, bet"? What? Beat it, Morris. You ain't cute. Oh, yeah? Well, dames don't belong down here no way. Come, snooks. Aw, go suck an egg. I can't see a thing. I wish you'd wear your glasses. Where are we going? Straight ahead. Oh! Bettin' our last $300 is no way to make ends meet. I always win at games. They probably won't take our bet anyway. They'd better. They don't know us. Unless you'd rather sleep in the park tonight. They have to know you. That's ridiculous. The horses are approaching the gate. Stand here. Is this the line? You don't know nothin' about betting or racing-Oh, stop crabbing! Crab, crab, crab. I'm not crabbing. Tell them to hurry up. I'm not crabbing. Tell them to hurry up. No. Hmm! Yes? Yes. I'm in an awful hurry. May I get ahead of you? For you, anything. Thank you. Except this. Except what? Yes? I'm betting also on this race. I don't like to miss my chance. I have lucky feeling today. You're Italian. Mmm. Venetian. Every Italian I've ever met is rude, inconsiderate and selfish. Brooke. Perhaps because they are not used to women who are spoiled. Yeah, in Italy, we don't have. Elizabeth, call the police. They don't come around where there's betting, honey. It ain't legal. Hey, Spanish. They're at the gate. What'll it be? 1,000. Ladies' Day to win. I hope you lose. Spanish. 1,000. Grazie. Ciao. The flag is up. What did he say? What are you giris doing here? We were drawn by your magnetism. Uh-huh. Now don't be rude to the man, Elizabeth. Which one, sir, do you think will win? I ain't a seer, lady. What? He says he ain't a seer. And he certainly ain't no "sir." Mmm, tough cookie, huh? You wanna start somethin'? How about Cot-ton Ball? Cotton Ball. That's a nice name. Pays 20-to-1. I'll take it. Put that away. You want to get us all locked up? It's real. Put that away! Look. $300. No cash. No cash. Look, kid, I can't take your bet nohow. I don't know ya. I'm Brooke Carter. Oh, nice to meet ya. So long. Beth. You better take her bet, wise guy, if you know what's good for you. Yeah? Yeah. This is... Sleep Out Louie's dame. Carter? That's right. That's right. Carter. 300. Cotton Ball. You wanna put it on his nose? Yeah, yeah. What? Are you sure you don't wanna try Ladies' Day, honey? Valentino looked awful positive. You mean positively awful. That's it, giris. They're off and running! Who is Sleep Out Louie? Beats me. At the start, it's Chuck-a-luck. Blue Boy in second. Jumper is third. Ladies' Day is drawing up. Pumpkin Pie and Texas Moon. It's Chuck-a-luck with the lead. Blue Boy moving up to second. They're going into the first turn. It's Chuck-a-luck in front by a length. Blue Boy is second. Jumper is third. Ladies' Day moving up to fourth. Pumpkin Pie, Texas Moon and, at the rear, it's Cotton Ball. Oh, that Cotton Ball. That's a nice name. You bet on Cotton Ball? We certain-We certainly did, and he's going to win. Chuck-a-luck in front by two lengths. Blue Boy is second. And Ladies' Day is now moving up fast on the inside. Pumpkin Pie, and here comes Cotton Ball. Where? Where? Right there. Going into the far turn, it's Chuck-a-luck in front. We hate you. Come on, Cotton Ball! Move it! And Ladies' Day is moving up very fast on the outside. Turning into the stretch, it's Chuck-a-luck and Ladies' Day. They're neck and neck. Come on, Chuck-amen! No, it's Ladies' Day. I'm sure. It's Chuck-a-luck and Ladies' Day! And Ladies' Day moves ahead. It's Ladies' Day by a head! The winner! Chuck-a-luck was second. Pumpkin Pie was fourth. Jumper was fifth. Blue Boy in sixth. And here comes Cotton Ball. Oh, look at him. Well, good-bye, ladies. Tomorrow, everything will be better. Well, at least we know who Sleep Out Louie is. Who? Nobody. Mmm. Come on, snooks. We have just enough change for the subway. Never been on the subway. Oh, you'll love it. Well, folks, there's Cotton Ball. Guess he was hungry. Come on, cheer up. Something will come up. Maybe we'll hear from your mother. Fat chance. Yeah, well, I keep telling you you gotta be more polite to folks. Hmm. That guy was probably some rich Italian count or something. Would've been a lot smarter than bettin' on Cotton Ball, being nice to him. That's a revolting thought. Yeah? Yeah. Well, listen... Buongiorno! Okay, watch me. You are hitching hike? Hmm? Hitching hike. Oh, of course. We always hitching hike after we lose. Sort of a penance. Ah. And what do strong, handsome Venetians do when they win? Whatever the ladies desire. The subway. The subway. Well, how about a little hitch for two sore losers? No, just one. I gotta see a man about a dog. Oh. Beth. You know, snooks, three on a match and all that. Yeah, it will be my pleasure to drive you. You ain't kiddin'. At words poetic, I'm so pathetic; That I always have found it best Hmm? Instead of getting them off my chest To let 'em rest unexpressed You mustn't do that. I hate parading my serenading And I'll probably miss a bar; That was good.
