 Right now we're off for a little outdoor restaurant in the forest of Compin, in the suburbs of Paris. Hello? Oui! Corine! Corine! Waiter? Yes, Monsieur? Waiter, have you seen a beautiful woman? To a Frenchman, all women are beautiful. Except his wife. Well, that's a fine thing to say. Waiter, to a man who's about to get married. Well, I'm sorry, sir. I haven't seen your future wife. Well, of course you haven't. She's not the girl I'm meeting. Oh? Now, we want to eat here in the garden. Just the two of us, the most romantic spot you have. You are planning a romantic rendezvous, Monsieur, but not with your fiancée? Of course not. Oh, dog, you don't seem to get the idea at all. I'm going to be married in June, for the beginning of May. And so I'm still free to commune with a life that is single and key, but it's almost a sin. Ready, I ought all the joys of the past. Monsieur, there is a young lady coming down the path right now. Ah, a vision in pink. Claudine! Sorry to be late. Young ladies should never be on time, especially beautiful young ladies in pink. Oh, Lucien. Now, you take the girl I'm about to marry. She's always on time. You never told me you were engaged. Oh, well, I was, but she went away to, uh, Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan? Yes, that's in Canada. It's a river. How sweet. Well, now, really, Claudine, when a man's fiancee runs off to Saskatchewan, you can't expect him to go on acting as if he were still engaged. No, cat. By the banks of the Seine with girls so beautiful, it gives one pain to remain quite beautiful. And yet I swore by the stars above throughout my life to resist for a girl by the Saskatchewan for a girl by the Saskatchewan. On the banks of? From the banks of the Seine for a girl to go and stay. There is another young lady coming down the path looking for you. My fiancee. Back from Saskatchewan? Oh, you've got to hide, Claudine. She's very jealous. So am I. Well, you can be jealous in back of the tree. Now, quick hide. Hide. Well, Estelle, my darling, what a glorious surprise. I thought I might surprise you having a secret rendezvous with another woman. Estelle, I've been sitting here lonesome longing for you. Then how does it happen the table is set for two? I was hungry. Oh, my sweet story. Where is the little husband you've been dining with behind this tree, I suppose? No, no, no, Estelle. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, I remember Estelle. Saskatchewan. Oh. Oh, did you hear what she called me? No, no, no, please, please, ladies, listen to me. Listen, I assure you, my sweet, your future husband is not dining with an unmarried woman. Allow me to present this lady in pink, Madame Dondidier. Huh? You're one of my dearest friends. You never told me you had a friend named Dondidier? Oh, yes, he's a wild man. Goes around kissing women that he's never even seen before. I don't believe a word you're saying. Where does this Dondidier live? Huh? Oh, a 72 root of the pay. I'm going to place that address and check up on your story. Oh, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't do that. And why not? Oh, my husband's not at home. He's going to see a doctor about his, uh, a lumbago. Lumbago? Yes. He has the lumbago. We think it's the cause of his trouble. You mean he goes around kissing every girl he meets because he has the lumbago? Isn't it curious? Yes, I am growing back to Paris. It's your friend's house. And if you aren't telling me the truth, ooh, I feel sorry for you. I didn't like the way she said that. You're a dreadful liar. Well, I always thought I was rather good at it. Well, what will happen when she gets to that address and finds there's nobody there named Dondidier? Ah, but there is. I remember the sign. Dondidier, antiques. Do you know the man? I never saw him in my life. Well, what do we do? We'll get to Dondidier before my fiance does. And we'll make him play along with us. Will he do it? Ah, he'll buy enough antiques, he will. Will you come with me, Claudine? Of course I will. Come on. We've got to beat Angèle back to Paris. Is it pumpkin? What are you doing? I'm dusting the snuff boxes, pumpkin. Well, come up here and put on your best shirt. Madame Le Pontes will be here any moment. Now, she's the richest woman in Paris. And if you impress her properly, she'll buy out the whole shop. In just a moment, pumpkin, I see two customers coming. May I help you, Monsieur? Are you Monsieur Dondidier? Yes. Has a woman been here asking about your lumbago? Of course not. I don't have lumbago. Well, you've got it now. I do. Now, listen to me. I am Lucienne Garadelle, your best friend. And I am Claudine, your wife. My wife is upstairs. Well, you've got two of them now. You've been to the doctor this morning. Yes. You're a wild man. You kiss every girl you meet. You are both out of your minds. Look it out of my shop. Go on. Now, wait a minute. How much is this snuff box? 1,000 francs. I'll give you 2,000, if you'll do as we say. Well, what must I do? Good. When a woman walks in that door, kiss her. But I don't know how. You don't know how to kiss? Well, you're married, aren't you? What's that got to do with it? Don't you kiss your wife? What a revolting idea. Claudine, we will demonstrate how to kiss. How much you're on reserve. One arm about the girl's shoulder. Another about the waist. And the head. The lips. Oh, Lucien. Ah! The next act of the Pink Lady in just a minute. Florence and Lee version of the Pink Lady, starring Gordon Macrae as Lucien, and his guest star, Lucille Norman, as Claudine, the Pink Lady. What do you suppose is happening in that antique shop? We couldn't very well stay and watch the show. Hardly. My fiance found us with Don D.D. She'd known it was a put-up job. If you don't mind my saying so, my fiance is a prune. Well, I agree with you. Then why did you propose to her? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But you don't love her. Love? I hate love. How can you say such a thing? I love love. What's happening in the antique shop? Don't you wish we could hide in a snuff box and listen? I've got a pink dress. I'm married to the Lombego, and I've got to kiss the doctor. Oh, that must be the woman now. All right, Don D.D. Get ready to be naughty. How do you do? Are you, Monsieur Don D.D. I am. A beautiful lady. Did you ever have the Lombego? I beg your pardon. You think your future husband has lied about me? What? But it's all true. Yes, I'm going to kiss you. I'm going to make violent love to you. I'm going to... No! What did you do to the contest? That was the contest? Who else? I have just insulted the richest woman in Paris. I'll never do anybody a favor again. I'm looking for Monsieur Don D.D. I don't have the Lombego. I haven't been to the doctor, and Lucien Garridell is no friend of mine. That proves that you know him. He wasn't lying after all. Now, kiss me and I'll know that everything he said was true. You kiss her and I'll bounce a snuff box off your head. I'll kiss her if I please. D.D. up to your old chicks again, I see. We're just in time. Kissing my fiancee while you should be ashamed of yourself. Lucien, I'm sorry that I doubted you, and please forgive me, Madame Don D.D. She's not Madame Don D.D. I'm Madame Don D.D. If she says she's my wife, I'm going to kiss her. Just one moment. I'm going to kiss everybody. But why? Because I like it. You like it? I like it. So do I. I like it. Now will you believe me, Angèle? I love you, and only you. The Pink Lady doesn't mean a thing to me. Oh, thank you, Lucien. I love you, too. But I was talking to Angèle. I know, but I also know that you're the worst liar in the world. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to lie to you. But I also know that you're the worst liar in the world. So if you say you love her, you must be madly in love with me. Yeah. Then I'll tell you the truth, Pink Lady. You're as smart as you are, beautiful. My God! Just one moment. Meanwhile, our thanks to Hans Conreed, who played Papa Don D.D. The Benadera, who played Madame Don D.D. Betty Lugerson, who played Angèle. Elmer Audley, who was the contest. The Pink Lady with book and lyrics by C.M.S. McClellan and music by Ivan Carroll was dramatized for The Railroad Hour by Lawrence and Lee. The Railroad Hour is brought to you each week, at the same time by the American Railroads. Marvin? This year, all America turns its eyes to the Midwest and the Centennial celebrations that mark the founding of the Nebraska-Kansas territories and the city of Omaha. Omaha's Centennial celebration is attracting particular attention by its festive year-long program of special events, parades, pageants, and exhibits. And America's Railroads take particular pleasure in saluting these Centennials. For not only is Omaha today one of the country's vital rail centers, but the Nebraska-Kansas territories were actually established with the idea of making possible the transcontinental railroad system that forged the missing link between east and west, populated the land, and made the dream of a United States come true. Thank you, Marvin, and now here again is our delightful guest, Lucille Norman. Thank you, Gordon. I have only one thing to say about tonight's show. I liked it. I liked it. I wonder how the orchestra felt. We liked it. Crazy. Well, it seems to be unanimous. Well, what's on the show train next week? Well, Lucille, you and me and some beautiful music. Listen. The sky was blue And high above the moon was new The New Moon Real springtime music by Romberg and Hammerstein. And a delightful operetta. I'll be here, Gordon. Good night. Good night, Lucille. See you next week. All aboard! Well, dear friends, it looks as though we're ready to pull out. So until next Monday night and the New Moon on behalf of the other members of the cast and of the American Railroads, this is your friend, Gordon McRae, saying good night. The Pink Lady was presented by special arrangement with the Tams Whitmark Music Library. Our choir was under the direction of Norman Luboff and our music was prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. This is Marvin Miller saying good night for the American Railroad and reminding you, a stronger national guard means a stronger America. Young men and veterans are urged to go to their nearest National Guard unit now and find out the many advantages to themselves and to their country of joining the National Guard. Now stay tuned for your Monday night of music on NBC. The preceding was transcribed. Keep tuned for the...
