[first lines]
radio news announcers
[American announcer] Flash! Michel Marnay, the French heart crusher, sailed incog. tonight from Naples on board the Napoli. Why? Because Lois Clarke and her twenty million smackers will be at the dock palpatating for him. And it's good news for us mere men, because when he arrives, Michel Marnay goes out of circulation. This time, it's marriage.
[French announcer - undecipherable]
radio news announcers
[British announcer] Well here we are ladies and gentlemen... and a nice crisp little tidbit has just come in. Oh by the way I might mention I'm speaking from dear old London as usual. Well it's rumored that Michel Marnay sails for America tonight to enter into matrimony at last with one of America's industrial nobility: a miss um, a miss uh, Lois Clarke - the rock and gravel heir, it's-a stone and sand you know.
[briefly looks over news update paper]

Michel
You saved my life, you know. I was bored to tears! I haven't seen one attractive girl on this boat since we left. Can you imagine? Nine days like that? No, this is terrible. That's not for me! I should be bright, I should be beautiful and bubbling like pink champagne. I got scared. I said to myself, "Don't beautiful women travel any more?" Evidently not. Then I saw you and it was all right. I was saved. I hope. Cigarette?

Terry McKay
I went to New York and got a job singing in a nightclub from ten to three in the morning, and then the manager used to chase me around his office until about four, and then I went home.

Michel
What's the name of that - strange place you came from?
Terry McKay
Kansas.

Boy on Ship
Everybody on the ship's talking about ya.
Terry McKay
No. What do they say about me?
Boy on Ship
Well, I don't know. Every time they start talking about you, they make me leave the room.
🧡

🥱
Terry McKay
You have a lovely place here.
Grandmother
Thank you.
Terry McKay
I'd like to stay on for ever.
Grandmother
You are too young for that. It's a good place to sit and remember, but you still have to create your memories.
🧡
👏
🥺

🥱
Terry McKay
He's going to be married and settle down. Can't you just see him with his slippers and his pipe?
Grandmother
No. There is many a slip betwixt the lip and the water and anything could happen on a boat.

Terry's Landlady
I joke a lot about marriage, but it can be a beautiful thing. You know, you should get married if you find the right man, of course. I don't know where you will find him, of course, but don't you marry a loafer like I did. It's just as easy to marry a man with lots of money. Maybe you don't love him at first, but you can teach yourself in six easy lessons. Just don't you marry a loafer. I married one, he was a prize winner.
🧡

🥺

🥱
Terry McKay
I guess you and I have been more or less used to a life of pink champagne. Maybe it'd be a little difficult to...
Michel
Hmm?
Terry McKay
You like beer?
Michel
Yes, I do, but...
Terry McKay
I know, it's bad for the figure.

Instead of Mother Goose, you were probably brought up on the memoirs of Casanova.
Michel
Not at all.
Terry McKay
[sucks on the straw in her cocktail]
But you've heard of the little fella, haven't you? I imagine you've known quite a few women, haven't you? Or maybe "few" is the wrong word. And I gather you haven't very much respect for them?
[Michel shakes his head no]

Grandmother
I'm sorry, I had to let my maid go. I have to watch my expenses. You see, I planned on dying when I was 75, and here I am 77. So, if I am not going to die, I have to start saving my money.

Well, he's visiting his parents. He sends me on a buying trip every once in awhile. You see, he's my boss too.

Terry McKay
The other one shouldn't ask questions. Asking questions is - life must be bright. We must keep it beautiful and bubbling like pink champagne. So there'll be no questions asked. I hope.

[singing]
Remember love is not an easy game, No two hearts ever beat quite the same, Go on and dance, my heart, This is romance, my heart, So keep pretending, Do not despair, my heart, We still may share, my heart, That happy ending...

I've got my job now and I'm on a budget and if everything works out all right and I'm a good little girl, maybe I'll get what I want next Christmas.

I thought everything was fine until I saw you last night. Then I knew there must be something between us. Even if only an ocean.

Terry McKay
I like them.
Orphanage Superintendent
I do, too. But they don't like me. They call me Picklepuss. At heart, they're just little savages. But music, you know, has charms to soothe the savage breast.

Kenneth Bradley
I'm going to ask you once more, why don't you let me help you?
Terry McKay
And I'm going to tell you once more, if I let you finance my getting well, he wouldn't like it. And if he wouldn't like it, then I wouldn't like it. And if you did get me well and I went to him, you wouldn't like it.
Kenneth Bradley
Then, certainly, he ought to know.
Terry McKay
No, because if he found out, he'd want to do something about it. Then if I didn't get well, well, he wouldn't like it, and I wouldn't like it, you wouldn't like it. It would be awful! No.
