That Girl (1966–1971): Season 3, Episode 19 - My Sister's Keeper - full transcript

You can go right in, Ann.

Thank you.

Just a moment.
I'll be right with you.

Oh, fine.

Okay.

How do you do? Hello.

Would you have a
seat? Oh, thank you.

And you are?

Ann Marie.

Right. Thanks for
coming in, Miss Marie.

Oh, the pleasure's
all mine, believe me.



Do you have pictures?

Oh, yes.

I have more pictures than jobs.

Here's my composite.

And here's my book.

There's one each of me
running, standing, sitting, smiling,

crying and sexy.

Well, maybe not too sexy.

The girl we're looking for will
have to have a little bit of everything.

When they see this commercial,

we'd like every girl in America
to identify with the Pop Girl.

The who?

The Pop Girl.

What you're here for.



Oh, oh.

My agent didn't tell me
what the product was.

He just said to get over there.

So that's what
it is, the Pop Girl.

Hey, that's terrific.

What's Pop?

Pop.

Pop?

Soda pop, a new soft drink.

It's soda pop,

so why not call it like it is?

Oh, I see. Pop.

Hey, that's a terrific idea.

When somebody
asks for a bottle of pop,

that's exactly what
they're gonna get:

a bottle of your Pop.

What a terrific idea... and I
bet that's why you thought of it.

What flavor is it?

Well, I can't tell you that,

but it's got a little
bit of everything,

like the Pop Girl.

Well, Mr. McKorkle,
I just want to tell you

that aside from my acting
experience on stage and on television,

I've had years of
experience drinking pop.

Yes.

Well, I'm sure, Miss Marie,
that your credits are very good.

I'd like to keep this
composite if I may.

Oh, sure.

We're seeing
several other girls,

and we'll make a decision
in a couple of days.

Oh, fine.

Thank you very much.

That's all right.

Anyone else out there?

No, sir. Do you think
you found someone?

Well, I'm not sure.

I'd say it was between this girl

and that girl.

♪♪ [theme]

Just a minute.
I'll be right there.

I hope so.

Hi, Donald. Hi.

What were you doing?
I was getting worried.

Worried?

Yeah, well, you
didn't answer the door.

You could've slipped in the tub

or been hit over the
head by a crazed burglar

or... Got my zipper stuck.

Or got your zipper stuck.

Come on, the
feature starts at 6:45.

Oh, Donald, can't we
wait a few minutes?

I haven't heard from
Seymour yet about that job.

The commercial? Yeah.

Well, honey, he can leave
a message with your service.

Oh, Donald, I found out they're gonna
test market it out on the West Coast,

and if it goes, they're gonna
have this really big campaign,

and if I'm picked, I could be a very
desirable and a very wealthy young lady.

Uh-huh. Well, money
isn't everything.

Oh, Donald, please.
Just a few minutes.

[sighs] Okay.

Five minutes.

What's it for?

Well, it's for this
soft drink called Pop.

Hey, that's cute.

You know, I wonder why
they call soft drinks soft

and hard drinks hard

when in reality, hard drinks
are just as soft as soft drinks?

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hi, Seymour.

He did?

I am?

I do?

Oh, dear.

Oh, no, that's fine.

Okay, Seymour, thanks.

Bye.

Well? Good news?

Almost.

You almost got it but missed.

No, I still almost got it.

It's between me
and another girl.

Well, that's good news.

There's more.

Oh?

I have to go back there
tomorrow so they can hear me sing.

You sing?

Yeah.

Well, there are
lots of other jobs.

Come on. Donald, that was cruel.

Well, sweetheart, singing isn't
one of your top 10 numbers.

Well, I'm not that bad.

I didn't say you were that bad.

I mean, you might get the job.

You can carry a tune.

Yeah, except I'd drop it a
couple of times along the way.

Oh, Donald, what am I gonna do?

Well, you're certainly not going
to improve your voice overnight.

No. So, just go tomorrow,

sing, and hope for
the best. That's all.

Oh, sure, that's
easy for you to say.

And it'll be a
lot easier for you

if you just relax tonight
and go to a movie.

Oh, I don't think I
could go to a movie now.

Oh, come on. It'll do you good.

Get your mind off your problems.

Oh, okay.

What are we gonna see?

Singin' in the Rain.

Thanks.

Song of Norway. Sound of Music.

Donald.

With a Song in my
Heart. The Singing Fool.

That's enough.

20,000 years in Sing-Sing.

Um, Miss Marie,

you can put your hands down now.

Oh, I was just surrendering.

No good, huh?

If you just sounded
like you look.

I mean, you look so perfect.

Just what we want.

Why can't you sing?

When they took out my tonsils,

they did a rotten
job on my adenoids.

I am stupid!

Oh, no. You had
no way of knowing.

I mean, you don't have to sing.

I don't?

No, we'll lip-sync you.

You'll what?

Lip-sync. We'll use
your face, you figure,

but someone else's voice.

Of course! Like they
did in My Fair Lady!

Right! We do it all the time.

Oh, what a terrific idea!

Why didn't we think
of that in the first place?

Because I'm stupid.

Oh, yeah. I forgot.

I mean I forgot
that's what you said.

Well, congratulations, Pop Girl.

Oh, did I really get it?

Oh, Mr. McKorkle, thank you.

Oh, my gosh! The Pop Girl!

You can lip-sync, can't you?

Oh, sure. I do it all the time.

Good.

But you should rehearse
with the Pop jingle.

Uh, this is a demonstration
record that the writer made.

Take it home and run
through it a few times.

Right. Don't worry.
I'll get it perfect.

And we'll call you as to
the time and the studio.

I'll practice real hard.

Fine.

Mr. McKorkle?

[mouthing]

What's that?

That's thank you
very much in lip-sync.

your mouth too wide.

Yeah?

Okay, I'll try it again.

Why don't you just
relax for a minute?

Okay.

Boy, is my throat tired.

Why? You haven't said anything.

Exactly.

It's unnatural for a woman
to open her mouth that often

and not have any sound come out.

I've never been so
frustrated in my life.

[bell rings]

Frank, you can go
get cleaned up now.

Thanks.

Ann, that was fine.

Oh, great. Thank
you, Mr. Johnson.

Look, we're gonna
set up a new angle.

Why don't you take
a break? Okay, fine.

Over here, fellas.

Ann. Oh, hi!

It's going just great!

I couldn't be happier!
Neither could I.

I'd like you to meet your voice.

Oh, I'd love to.

Rose?

Ann Marie, Rose Cassinetti.

Hi. Hi.

Oh, Rose, am I glad to meet you.

Boy, when I heard that recording,
I said, "What a terrific voice."

But I said it to the recording.

Now I can tell you.

You really sing great.

Oh, thank you. I think
you're marvelous, too.

Oh, thanks.

But without your voice,
I'd be nothing at all.

Since neither of you have anything
nice to say about me, I'm leaving.

Sorry.

No, I've got a
lot of work to do.

I'll see you later. Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure.

How long have you been singing?

Oh, since I was 14 months old.

Oh, no, I meant professionally.

Since I was 14 months old.

Really? Yeah.

I started to sing, and my brother
gave me a quarter to shut me up.

No, I guess it's
been about a year.

Oh. How you doing?

Pretty good. You?

Oh, okay.

Who's your agent?

Oh, I don't have one.

Actually, I know this drummer,

and he finds out where
there are jobs for singers,

and he lets me know.

Oh, my gosh! You depend
upon a drummer to get you jobs?

Well, he's also my brother.

Oh.

Well, don't you think you'd be
better off getting a regular agent?

If you can't depend on your
brother, who can you depend on?

Oh, I didn't mean you can't
depend on your brother.

It's just that... well, what do
you do about television shows

and stage jobs?

Oh, well, I don't
care about them.

What I'm doing is fine.

Look, Rose, I don't
want to get personal...

You already got.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, don't be.

People interested in
other people is terrific.

What did you say?

I said it's nice to have someone
want to know about you.

No, you said terrific.

Oh, I say terrific a lot

to describe almost anything.

That's terrific, that is.

So do I. My boyfriend
says I overdo it.

Well, we terrific
users are the only ones

who really understand
how terrific terrific is.

You can't explain
that to a non-terrificer.

That's for sure.

[Director] Ann, we're
ready for you now.

Coming, Mr. Johnson.

I'll see you after
the shot, Rose.

Oh, terrific.

Terrific.

Hey, Rose.

Hi, Tony.

What are you doing here?

We're doing a jingle next door,

so I thought I'd
spy on my sister.

Listen, no one here
knows but Mr. McKorkle.

You know, I think you're
nuts making such a big deal.

It's no big deal,

and it's not that important.

It's just I know in
these situations

people get very uncomfortable

when they know I'm a nun.

What's so uncomfortable
about being around a nun?

You're used to it.

But other people are so
busy trying not to offend me,

they can't relax.

You know, you may be right.

Except once I would
love to introduce you,

Friend, I'd like you to
meet my sister, the sister.

Now, what were
you saying, honey?

Well, what I was just thinking,

it's a shame that such
a talented, pretty, bright,

and witty girl has
to go unnoticed.

By whom?

By producers. By the public.

Yeah, well, if she's as good
as you say she is, it is a shame.

I mean, millions of people are
gonna see me sing in that commercial,

but it won't be
me, it'll be her!

She got paid, didn't she?

Yeah, but, I mean,
it's just a shame.

And I'll probably
got other jobs, too,

from producers as a
result of seeing me sing

in that commercial.

I don't think so.

Why not?

Well, honey, eventually, you're
going to have to sing in person, and...

Okay, well, cancel that reason.

Reason? Reason for what?

Well, Donald, I'm just trying
to tell you all the reasons

I think I should
help Rose's career.

Oh, boy.

No speeches.

No speeches, just two words:

don't interfere.

Oh, Donald, she
even said herself

how terrific it is when people
get interested in other people.

There's a big difference
between interest

and meddling.

Look, honey, you're a
very good-hearted woman...

Woman?

Lady.

Lady?

Girl. Continue.

You'r a very good-hearted girl,

but very often, people
don't want any help.

They're satisfied with
the way things are.

I know, I know.

It's just that I have a very
intuitive feeling about Rose.

I just know that
with a good agent

and top professional advice,

and make up and wardrobe,
she could really go far.

What's your plan?

Well, first I'd like
her to meet Seymour.

I know the minute
he hears her sing,

he's gonna want to
represent her. And then?

Well, then I'll have to leave a lot of
the decisions up to Seymour and Rose.

Why, you leaving town?

I'm just trying to help.

You know, honey,
if you were up here,

I can readily understand your
wanting to help somebody down here.

But you are also down here.

Just a minute. Much better.

After all, I have done a
lot more jobs than she has.

One of the main things
you're forgetting is

that she may not want your help.

With a drummer-brother
for an agent?

Donald, please.

She may be perfectly
happy singing commercials,

and she may resent
your interference.

She is not the resenting type.

Am I wasting my time
discussing this with you?

I think so.

Okay. Okay!

Then I go on record
with a large "I told you so"

waiting to be dropped
on your pretty little head.

Well, you'll never use it,

because when Seymour
hears her, he's gonna flip.

He's a very smart agent

who understands and
knows more about talent

than anybody.

Suppose he hates her.

What does he know?

Hi, is there a Tony
Cassinetti here?

Oh, thank you.

Uh, excuse me.

Yeah?

Are you Tony Cassinetti?

Right.

Oh, good. My name is Ann Marie.

That's good, too.

Mr. McKorkle from
the advertising agency

told me that I might
be able to find you here.

Oh, yeah, I saw you
in the studio one day.

How are you?

I'm just fine, thank you.

I'm sorry to interrupt
your reading.

Oh, that's okay.

Better Your Swing?

I always thought you
had rhythm or you didn't.

I didn't know you could
get it by reading a book.

This is about golf.

Oh.

Well, then I was right.

All right.

Yeah, well, uh...

Mr. Cassinetti, I was
looking for your sister.

Why?

Well, you know, we
did that job together,

the Pop commercial, and
I think she's just terrific.

So do I. Oh, good.

What I'm trying to do is get
her together with my agent.

Does she know that?

Well, no, I haven't
been able to reach her.

But Mr. McKorkle said that if I found you,
you might be able to give me her number.

How much do you know about Rose?

Well, only that she's
cute and talented,

and I'd like to help her.

And my agent said if she's good,

he can get her a couple of jobs.

Maybe not as a single
at first, but with a group.

Yeah, well, she's with a
pretty big group right now.

Oh?

She didn't tell me that.

She's not much of a talker.

Well, I hate to disagree
with her brother,

but I think Rose
is very talkative.

Why don't you write your number
down and I'll have her give you a call?

Well, couldn't you
give me her number?

It's better if she calls you.

Oh. Fine.

Have you got a pencil?

Yeah.

Look, could you have
her call me right away?

Because my agent, Seymour,
is trying to arrange an audition

with her and the musical and
variety people at the agency.

Listen, I wouldn't make any
plans until you've talked to her.

Mr. Cassinetti, I can understand
your being protective about Rose,

but I don't think you realize
you have a very talented sister.

Oh, I realize it, Miss Marie.

For a sister, she's
loaded with talent.

[door buzzer]

Okay, I'm coming.

Hello. Hello.

Is Ann Marie here?

Uh, no, not right now.
Was she expecting you?

No, but I'm a friend of hers.

Well, that's a
coincidence, so am I.

I'm Don Hollinger,

I'm Ann's boyfriend,
and vice versa.

Oh. My name's Rose.

Rose the singer? Yes.

Oh, well, come on in.

Well, I'd like to leave
a message if I may.

Well, she'll be back
in just a few seconds.

Won't you come in?

You know, she was
expecting you to call her.

I know, that's what
the message is about.

You know, I really can't
stay. Will you give it to her?

Yeah, sure, sure. I'll
have to write it down.

I have a very bad memory.

Won't you sit down?

Okay, what's the message?

Please tell her that I
appreciate what she's done,

but it wouldn't be possible
for me to make that audition.

You want her to reschedule it?

No, I won't be able
to make it at all.

Rose...

I don't think you
know Ann very well.

She thinks you're very good,

and she's gonna bother
you until you make it.

What she doesn't know is that
it would be impossible for me

to make a career
in show business.

Why?

Because I'm a nun.

You're a nun?

That's right.

It's not that funny.

Oh, no, no, I'm sorry, Sister.

Believe me, I'm sorry.

I'm not laughing at
you, I'm laughing at Ann.

Why didn't you tell her?

Well, because when
people find out, they get ooky.

Well, I didn't.

That's right, you
didn't. You laughed.

You know, you could get into
a lot of trouble laughing at nuns.

Well, not for the right reasons.

I still don't understand
why you didn't tell her.

Well, you see, the reason
I sing is because I like to,

and the money we raise kind of helps
the orphanage where I'm assigned.

Oh.

Oh, sister, that's...
That's great. Just great.

You see, you're getting ooky.

Justifiably.

Listen, right after I give
Ann an "I Told You So"

right between the
eyes and explain,

I'm sure she's gonna
want to speak to you.

Well, if she does,
I'm at St. Thomas'.

Oh, well, can she
call you tonight?

Are you gonna be home?

Oh, I'm sorry.

As a matter of fact, I have a
music appreciation class tonight.

Oh, you do? Yes.

Oh, well, Sister, um...

Listen, would you mind terribly

having a couple
of visitors tonight?

Not at all! We'd love it.

Oh, great.

Great. Thank you, Sister.

Good night. Bye.

[laughing]

Ann, come on. It's late.

Where do we have to go?

589 East 87th Street.

I don't know of any
theater up there.

She didn't say it was a
theater. It's a hall or something.

Oh. Well, I still think we
should bring Seymour.

No, no, no, she said she
wanted your reaction first.

Hmm. And you said she
wouldn't be interested.

Yeah, well, uh... A
fella can be wrong.

And Seymour knows
this fantastic designer

who's done gowns for
all the top Hollywood stars.

Gowns?

I saw a black slinky number
that he made for Connie Stevens.

Boy, does that gown fit.

Fit?

Every line, every curve.

And from what I could tell,

Rose's figure would look perfect in
one of those tight, slinky numbers.

You really think so?

I know so.

And I was also thinking,
for a change of pace,

we could get her a blonde wig.

It could look terrific.

Hey, what about a sequin bikini?

Sequin bikini?

Well, maybe, but only
when she plays Las Vegas.

Sister.

What kind of a show could she
be doing here at a parochial school?

Well, probably a benefit.

See what a nice girl she is?

She's practically starving,

and she's doing benefits.

Excuse me, do you
know where room 3 is?

Would you tell us?

Right over there.
The next door down.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Ann. Hello, Sister.

Sister.

I just don't know what to say.

Really?

Sister, you may have
caused a miracle.

[laughing]

Come on, let's go
get a cup of coffee.

Sister, I have a
confession to make.

Sorry, I don't handle that.

I don't mean that kind.

I didn't tell her.

Oh! Oh, excuse me, Father.

Oh, that's all right, my child.

Anyway, Donald, thank you.

For what? For not
saying "I told you so."

Oh, well, it's hardly necessary.

Although I admit I
am a bit compulsive,

in this case I was
not completely wrong.

How's that?

Well, you've heard of the
recording star, the Singing Nun.

Right, right. Absolutely right.

Ann, if I were you, I'd
try to get Sister Rose

a recording contract right away.

You would?

Yeah, and while you're
at it, get her a parachute.

A parachute?

Well, I'm sure you've
heard of the Flying Nun.
