Paul (cont.)
Montana Moon!”
Lucille
Delivering the verdict.
I don’t think Berlin will kill himself.
Paul
It’s nothing like Berlin. Play it in two-four and it’s a great dance tune.
Maxie is obliging. Paul sings a strain of it and dances.
Lucille
You don’t get Berlin’s songs to dance to. You get them to cry to.
Paul
All right. You can cry to this, too. “My heart is yearning for kisses burning.” That’s sad.
Lucille
Yes, but there’s something behind his songs. They’re sympathetic.
Sighs.
Paul
Do you want to know why? Because he gets a little sympathy now and then! He’s appreciated at home! He don’t sit around here night after night with you yapping your head off at him, telling him he’s all through!
Maxie
Now, now! You’re going to write plenty of hits.
