and mussels alive alive oh.
:16:07
l won! l won!
:16:08
Well, now, l wouldn't be too sure
about that if l was you.

:16:10
But l did. l got it open before you
finished and thas the rule.

:16:12
But l came up one flight two steps
at a time before l remembered.

:16:14
Don't that make a difference?
:16:16
No, sir. The rules say that
:16:16
And in a manner of speaking, you
never did stop me at all,

:16:18
because my heart kept right
on singing.

:16:20
Papa, you're joking.
:16:22
Well, l guess l'll let you get away
with it this time, Prima Donna.

:16:24
And where's your beautiful Mama?
:16:26
Finishing the hall.
:16:26
She must be on the top floor or
she'd have heard you.

:16:28
Well, in that case, why aren't you
getting busy?

:16:30
Why aren't you laying out my
clothes?

:16:32
Oh, Papa, you always make fun. You
know you haven't any more clothes.

:16:36
Haven't any more clothes, huh?
Whas this?

:16:38
A tie.
- And this?

:16:39
A dickie.
- And this?

:16:40
An apron.
- Well, them's clothes, ain't they?

:16:42
And you'd better be getting that
apron ironed too.

:16:43
Oh, Papa, you've got a job for
tonight?

:16:45
You see the palm of that hand?
:16:46
Thas right where l got the world
tonight.

:16:48
Where's the job, Papa?
:16:49
Klompers. A big wedding party.
:16:50
And you know something, Prima Donna?
There'll be plenty of tips.

:16:53
singing or waiting?
- Both.

:16:54
Oh, maybe tonighll be it. Maybe
tonight he'll be there.

:16:57
The impresario.
:16:58
And he'll hear you sing, and he'll
put you on the stage!

:17:01
And why not? Ain't l the Brooklyn
Thrush?

:17:02
Oh, Papa!
:17:04
And now you'd better be getting my
apron ironed.

:17:07
Have it in a jiffy, Papa. The
coffee's on.

:17:09
Thas my Prima Donna. Early one
morning, l heard a maiden singing.

:17:14
Ear... Pst! Pst!
:17:17
Oh, Papa, l can't sing.
:17:20
Come on, now, you're holding up the
singing!

:17:22
"Oh, don't deceive me, oh, don't you
leave me."

:17:26
And better singing l never did hear.
:17:28
l love to iron for you, Papa.
:17:30
You know, something?
:17:31
A day like this is just like
somebody gave you a present.

:17:34
Everything just right.
:17:35
l wonder what people did before they
invented coffee.

:17:38
Oh, this sure could be a fine world,
if...

:17:42
Hey, you know something, Prima
Donna?

:17:46
You're going to make somebody a
mighty fine wife, some day.

:17:48
Oh, Papa.
:17:49
And mighty pretty, too. That is, if
your nose doesn't grow crooked.

:17:53
Could it really? Honest?
:17:56
Oh, no! ls the prettiest nose in
all Brooklyn.
