Dixie's dream

Announcer: "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple, Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"

James: I remember you.

Bette: I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.

James: You're the one who made my dreams come true

Bette: You're usually dead,

James: a few

Bette: without a head,

James: kisses ago.

Bette: and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.

James: I remember, too,

Bette: Oh, what a dream!

James: a distant bell,

Bette: It comes at night and taunts me,

James: and stars that fell

Bette: and, like your jokes, it haunts me until

James: like rain out of the blue.

Bette: I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.

James: When my life is through,

Bette: I'll jump for joy.

James: and the angels ask me to recall

Bette: and when Winchell asks me to recall

who's a chump and a heel.

James: the thrill of it all,

Bette: Who's the biggest schlemeil?

Both: Then I will tell them I remember . . .

James: "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."

Bette: "Yeah, I know, Eddie."

James: "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"

Bette: "Uh, penicillin?"

James: "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"

Bette: "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"

James: "Children?"

Bette: "No, silly! Grown men! Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"

James: "Are you sure you're not a cop?"

Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.

Bette: You

James: and you.
