Les 200 premières lignes.
at words poetic
I'm so pathetic
that I always have found it best
instead of getting it off my chest
to let 'em rest
unexpressed
I hate parading my serenading
as I'll probably miss a bar
but if this ditty is not so pretty
at least it'll tell you how great you are
you're the top
you're the colosseum
you're the top
mmm, you're the Louvre museum
you're a melody from a symphony
by Strauss
you're a bindle bonnet
a Shakespeare sonnet
you're Mickey Mouse
you're the Nile
you're the tower of Pisa
you're the smile
on theMona Lisa
I'm a worthless check
a total wreck
a flair
but if, baby, I'm the bottom
you're the top
you're the top
you're Mahatma Gandhi
you're the top
you are Napoleon Brandy
you're the purple light
of a summer night in Spain
you're the national gallery
you're Garbo's salary
you're cellophane
you are sublime
you're a turkey dinner
you're the time
the time of the derby winner
I'm a toy balloon
that is fated soon to
pop
but if, baby, I'm the bottom
you're the top

Flight 4 for New York now loading gate 7.
Flight 741 is now arriving at gate 8.
Taxi.
Follow that cab!
Howard!
Howard Bannister!
Howard, when I ask you to wait for me somewhere,
I expect you to stay there until I come back.
Yes, Eunice.
Now, it is difficult enough for me
To have to see to all these arrangements myself.
Yes, Eunice.
It is exactly 6:15.
If we reach the hotel in half an hour,
We'll have just enough time to get dressed for the banquet.
Yes, Eunice.
Put these in a taxi.
Yes, Eunice.
It's a beautiful city, isn't it, Howard?
I'd like to come here on our honeymoon.
Did you hear me, Howard?
I said I'd like to come here
On our honeymoon.
What? I thought you wanted to go to San Francisco
On your honeymoon.
Thisis San Francisco, Howard.
Of course it is.
Howard!
What are you trying to do, get yourself killed?!
Are you all right back there?
I hope nothing's broken.
It's just a bump, Howard. Don't overdramatize.
No, I mean my igneous rocks.
I hope they're not damaged.
I know how you feel, mister.
I hate it when my igneous rocks
Are even touched.
ja, miss, may I help you, please?
I was wondering if my friends were still here.
They're visiting from the New Hebrides,
And I believe they're in room 1717.
I'm sorry, but that room is vacant.
I don't understand.
They told me they would be in room 1717
At the hotel Crystal.
This is the Bristol, madam,
Not the Crystal.
Then one of us must be in the wrong hotel.
Ah, Mrs. Van Hoskins!
So nice to have you back with us.
Thank you, Hans.
Fritz.
What happened to Hans?
There is no Hans, Mrs. Van Hoskins.
There is only me--fritz.
Oh, what a shame!
Boy!
Franz, I'm gonna take this with me.
There are some things I need tonight.
Tomorrow, I want you to put it in the hotel safe for me.
It will be done, madam.
Room service, please.
Hi, room service. This is room 1717.
I'd like a double-thick roast beef sandwich,
Medium-rare on rye bread
With mustard on the top, mayonnaise on the bottom,
And a coffee hot fudge sundae,
With a large bottle of diet anything.
You got that?
Yeah, room 1717.
Oh, and, room service, would you put it
In the hall outside the door?
Don't bring it in or knock on the door
Because I'm putting my little one to sleep.
Right. Thank you.
I am miss Eunice burns, and this is my fiancé,
Dr. Howard Bannister.
We are here
For the congress of American musicologists convention.
Howard, go to the drugstore and get some aspirin.
I want you to be in shape for this evening.
Don't touch that.
They're my prepaleozoic tambula rocks.
Don't touch his rocks.
I will take care of those.
Howard, you go to the drugstore
And be back in my room in five minutes.
Right. Eunice?
Yes?
Why am I going to the drugstore?
Aspirin. Howard, get it with buffering added.
It's better for the stomach.
Front!|
Flat.
Sir?
Your bell is flat. It's half a tone off.
What's up, doc?
I beg your pardon?
We gotta stop meeting like this.
I think you're making a mistake.
You see, I just came in here for something for a headache.
You're gonna need an awful big glass of water
To get that down.
What?
Oh, no. You see, I'm a musicologist.
I was just testing this specimen for inherent tonal quality.
Uh-huh.
I have this theory
About early man's musical relationship
To igneous rock formations.
Uh-huh.
But I guess you're not really interested
In igneous rock formations.
Not as much as I am in the metamorphic
Or sedimentary rock categories.
I mean, I can take your igneous rocks
Or leave them.
I relate primarily to micas, quartz, feldspar.
You can keep your pyroxenes and magnetites,
As far as I'm concerned.
I forgot why I came in here.
Headache.
Oh, yes. Thank you. And good-bye.
Oh.
Was it something I said?
I beg your pardon?
Listen, what do you think I am?
A piece of ripe fruit
You can squeeze the juice out of and cast aside?
Miss, I think you're making a mistake.
Sure, that's all I am to you--a mistake,
A clerical error.
Forget you even know my name.
I don't know your name.
Judy Maxwell.
How do you do?
Could you let go of my hand?
I don't think so.
Aahh!
Oh! Look what happened.
Oh, dear.
Please don't help me.
I'm perfectly able to do this myself.
You gotta be more careful.
Did you know 3 of all fatal accidents
Happen in corner drugstores?
What's going on back there?
Uh, nothing.
We're just looking for a little aspirin.
Let me help you.
Don't help me.
Just go away.
OK.
