[part-talkie] 1 The mighty Mississippi - deep and moody. 2 Herald of summer - the whistle of the Show Boat just around the bend. 3 The Cotton Palace - bringing to the river folk the glorious world of unreality - the theatre. 4 "Hurry! We're coming into Westport!" 5 "Maggie Hawks! I'm going to paddle you good!" 6 "Papa, mother's going to paddle me, but I don't care." 7 "Please don't take my baby - please!" 8 "Maggie Hawks! What are you up to now?" 9 "Give her back her child, you skunk!" 10 "I forgot where I wuz." 11 "Julie - - !" 12 "Second act - !" 13 "Julie - I wish you was my mama!" 14 "Julie Dozier, I'm not going to have my daughter corrupted by a show-boat trollop like you!" 15 "You've got to go!" 16 "Hell's fire, Julie! You're causing a stage wait! Come on!" 17 "You're fired!" 18 "Yes, and I'll fire the next one if he tries to make love to Maggie!" 19 "I wired for a new leading man and there he is." 20 "He's no actor - he's a gentleman!" 21 "He's got a crack in his shoe. He's an actor!" 22 "Bring him on board." 23 "What a Romeo you'll make!" 24 "How about - Hamlet?" 25 "Hawks! Bring that young man aboard!" 26 "Something tells me I won't do." 27 "My daughter - our leading lady - she plays Juliet." 28 "Mr. Gaylord Ravenal - our new leading man." 29 "Save that for your acting." 30 "Your salary will be fifteen dollars a week - - if you last a week!" 31 "Gambler - ?" 32 "Gentleman gambler." 33 "I'll take a chance - if you will!" 34 "Good! I'll learn ye!" 35 "Beautiful!" 36 "Yes, the river at night is beautiful." 37 "How is the part coming?" 38 "Would you mind going through our scenes together?" 39 "From the moment mine eyes beheld you, I loved you." 40 "In some olden time, you were a princess, and I - your devoted lover." 41 "Your daughter is helping me to become familiar with my part." 42 "I'll help you become familiar with an audience!" 43 The course of human lives may be changed in a day, but the river flows on - relentless, eternal. 44 "Parthy, here's the doctor." 45 "Everybody ashore! The river is rising!" 46 "It's a girl!" 47 "Another leading lady!" 48 "Drowned!" 49 "Don't mind Mother." 50 "Where's Father?" 51 "Sleeping - after the storm." 52 "You'll write....?" 53 "Once a month - regular." 54 "Come back when the money's gone, but come alone." 55 "I'll never come back!" 56 CHICAGO 57 The whirlpools of chance. 58 "There's Gaylord Ravenal and his wife." 59 "That's the notorious Hetty Chilson." 60 "Just how well do you know this Chilson woman?" 61 "Run over to Goldsmith's and get me five hundred on this." 62 "How can he borrow five hundred on a ten dollar cane?" 63 "That cane is good for a thousand dollars anywhere he is known. It's his pledge of honor - his bond." 64 "Play 'I Got Shoes', Mama, and I'll go to bed - this time for sure!" 65 "Where's your cane?" 66 "But the money Mother gave us - that can't be all gone?" 67 "Go on, say it! Your mother was right -" 68 "- say it! I'm just a gambler and I'm dragging you down!" 69 "I don't mind, dear. I'm just thinking of Kim." 70 "This is your new home. We brought you here last night while you were asleep." 71 "It's ugly - I don't like it." 72 "Come, Nola! We're leaving this rat's nest, tonight!" 73 "I bought back all your 'pretties'!" 74 "Where are we going - back to the Sherman House?" 75 "We'll be careful this time, won't we, dear? I don't mind, but we must think of Kim." 76 "This is 'White Hat' speaking - I've got a bargain for you in a trotting horse." 77 "Five thousand dollars." 78 "This horse will make a fortune for you in six months." 79 "But, Gay - you promised we'd be careful." 80 "Darling, in six months we'll be wealthy, and I'll quit gambling forever. I promise." 81 "Don't run me into the fence!" 82 "I lost the race - but I still have the colt." 83 "That colt will never race again. His leg is broken."Home
