Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) Soundboard Edit

A funny thing.

After all, we are of age.

And every morning he would be

And go to another party

And I don't want to hear any arguments!

And then to her he'd sing

Answer yes or no.

Anyplace but there

Because thered be h to pay if my family knew I called long distance.

Besides, you have to go.

Big waves came up and flooded the whole city.

But pull down their fence and kill them all!

But the main thing, Tootie, is, we're all going to be together..

But we'll be together

Chug, chug, chug went the motor

Clang, clang, clang went the trolley

Corner boy, buck and wing corner girl!

Do you think so?

Don't tell me the lights are shining

Down underneath the bamboo tree

Esther, you're not changing your...

Esther. Esther! He's out there.

Eve, it's been ages! And you brought your violin. How nice.

Everybody dance!

Everything's fine.

Feed a cold, starve a fever

From my heart A song of love

From now on, I'll take all incoming calls.

Good evening, Joe.

Good night..

Hadn't you better leave those lights on for your folks?

He buys meat, and then he buys poison, and then he puts them all together

He can find anybody he wants to find.

He tried to kill me, and when I screamed, he ran away.

Hey, Esther..

Hiya, Johnny!

How will he know how to find us next year?

I am not. I won't go home. I'll take the Braukoffs.

I don't have to be an engineer. College takes too long anyway.

I hate to think what your father will say about this.

I hope I'm not too presumptuous.

I just adore him

I knew he was just my style

I must have mislaid it. I better go and find it, though.

I never asked a girl to marry me before.

I refuse to stay while my sister's humiliated by these ghastly children.

I remember the first dance I took her to

I start the first of the year. We'll leave after Christmas.

I suppose you two are going to fight over the candy flower

I thought I heard the trolley when...

I was going to tell you before, but I wanted to wait until it was definite.

I will be your tootsie wootsie

I wish everybody would meet at the fair and leave me alone

I wouldn't have said it, Esther, if I thought it would make you cry.

I... I hate you, Mr. Braukoff.

I'll find another one Prettier than you

I'll stab you to death in your sleep, and tie you to wild horses...

I'll take it.

I'm sorry. L...

I've never even been buried because everyone's scared to come near me

If I ever catch you fibbing again like you did...

If I forget to remind Papa, you remind me.

If losing a case depresses you, quit practicing law..

If the family's sitting here, she'll be loath to say...

If you think it's best for us to go away, why, that's what we'll do.

If you want to make me feel at home, you might offer me your partner.

If you're not busy tomorrow night, could you beat me up again?

Is anything wrong?

Is this Miss Ballard's card?

It certainly is

It seems to me that one little phone call is causing an awful lot of excitement

It... It's hair, and I don't think it's Tootie's.

It'll serve him right for poisoning cats

It's all right with me. You explain it to Mr. Smith.

It's good to hear you play, Anna. It's been a long time.

It's our last dance in St. Louis.

John Truett wouldn't hit a girl, least of all my sister.

John, I've come to ask you something.

John.

Just because you had a few dates with her...

Leave that trolley alone!

Let her alone. After all, she was good about her lip and didn't cry.

Lll write you right after I hang up.

Look, everybody dreams about going there

Mama, Rose is gonna get married. Maybe she ought to open her presents now

Mama, we fooled her!

Mama, you should have seen what we saw

Meet me at the fair

Meet me at the fair

Merry Christmas, Rose.

Mr. Smith hates to eat early on a hot day.

My favorite

My only regret Is we've never met

Next door

Next year all our troubles

No matter how I may persist

No one could have done it more beautifully.

No, thank you, Papa. I'll have some later before bed.

No, this one is different, you have to...

No. You go on. I have one more name to put in. Go on

Nobody, only those eyes of brown

Nothing, dear.

Nothing.

Now, suppose we all relax and enjoy a nice, leisurely meal.

Of course I'm going...

Of dark and fair weather

Oh

Oh, Grandpa, you're the first human being...

Oh, I wouldn't say that. I've had a pretty full day.

Oh, it is, is it?

Oh, you must think I'm an awful baby.

Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

Proposes? I don't see why you assume Warren's gonna propose to me.

Rose, I've decided something.

Rose. Esther. The water's hot.

Santa Claus is gonna be here any minute.

Say, that is nice perfume.

So choose your partner Skip to my lou

So I can't ignore him

So it's clear to see

Something's happened!

Tender and full of meaning

Thank you for dropping me off, Colonel Darly.

That suit of mine does the greatest one step you ever saw.

That was a good ride.

That was my father's.

That was Warren Sheffield calling long distance to propose.

That's all I have to do

That's the way to go if you have to go.

That's what really counts.

The firm is sending me to New York

The grass is always greener in somebody else's yard.

The smell of honeysuckle Charmed me off my feet

Three more days, you'd have been gone.

To her he'd sing

Too hot, if you ask me. Don't forget to wash your hair.

Tootie killed the Braukoffs single handed. She's the bravest of them all!

Tootie Smith, that's a monstrous falsehood

Tootie, darling, don't cry.

Tootie!

Try looking in your hand

Under the bamboo tree

Unless it's "infernal."

Unless you want to do something else tonight.

Up in front, please. Move up, there's plenty of room.

Vamp

Wait'll you see the fine home we're gonna have...

We'll be a tootsie wootsie

We'll talk this over calmly tomorrow

We're going to stay right here

We're sorry, Papa

Well, I guess there's nothing else to say.

Well, that's what I'm being treated like.

Well, they'd better not.

Well, wouldn't that be kind of wasting a minute?

Well...

What do you mean hitting a 5 year old child?

What's that?

When you go to New York, it'll be with your husband.

Where's Tootie? I haven't seen her all day.

While below her With tender grace

Who gets ice now, Mr. Neely?

Why, Anna

Why, Lon, you're down for the first dance.

Why, Lonnie, what a lovely box...

Will be near to us

Will be out of sight

Would you mind helping me turn off the lights?

Yeah! Tootie's the most horrible!

Yes, sir, Princeton's a peach of a school. A peach of a school.

Yes. Well, I spent many years in China

You and I

You can drop the "Miss."

You do feel it's the right thing, don't you?

You know, suits are like men.

You little faker, it's your presents you're after

You should wash your hair. We're eating early.

You will be my tootsie wootsie

You won't have to be polite to each other.

You're competing with an Eastern girl. I'll wager she doesn't move without a corset

Your folks can show us the town. Meet us at the station

Zing went my heart Heart

Zing, zing, zing went my heartstrings

And so mature

Are we all here? Just too bad for those that aren't.

Did he go to Chicago and see the man? He started

Did the bulldog try to bite you? Did Mr

Es, he's here. What did he say?

He can't take me to the dance

He tried to kill me. Mama, I think it's her lip.

He's not a city, though, is he? No

I can t hear you, Rose. That's funny. I can hear you plainly

I just didn't ask her soon enough. Everyone knows she's an Eastern snob.

I suppose that was your idea. Lon, don't get so touchy just because...

I think a streetcar hit her. It must have tossed her onto the cinders.

I'll never forget it, Esther

I'm taking that phone out. Alonzo.

I've worked all my life to be a senior. And Rose is to be graduated.

Is she strong? Strongest ice horse in St. Louis.

Isn't it a lovely day, Esther, dear? Heavenly, Rose. Simply heavenly.

It'd be tragic if either of you missed it. You can talk. You have a date.

Katie, it's as light as a feather. You can bake anything in that stove.

Let's go and tell them now. Oh, no. Not tonight.

May I present our neighbor, John Truett? I didn't quite catch the name.

Oh, Es. Yes, Alonzo?

Oh, Katie. Lonnie, did you have a nice day..

Oh, St. Louis is fine. Is it hot there?

Oh, this is ghastly. I'm sorry, Es.

Rose, did you hear a scream? Yes, it's Tootie!

She could have had any man she wanted. Except Warren Sheffield

We're going to stay here till we rot. We haven't rotted yet.

What did you say, Warren? Nothing.

What's wrong with Tootie? I don't know, Papa.

You can build snow people in New York. No, you can't.

You didn't have a date. Neither have you.

You'll be back by Thanksgiving. You don't understand.

You'll feel better when you have dinner. I suppose so

Charlie Skip to my lou

Friday Skip to my lou

Tommy Skip to my lou

...but it just doesn't seem very big out here where we live.

...except it's better with a girl

...him being a man

...I mean, glad to..

...instead of spending the evening talking about you...

...it makes it harder for the victim to get it off

...or " Did You Ever See a Rabbit Climb a Tree?"

...the banshees will haunt you forever! Give her some flour.

...to see Skinker's Swamp.

...we could still work something out somehow

...with a pretty dress

"From my heart...."

"Hugo Boorvis"?

"Over the banister leans a face..

"Truett." "Knew it." That's pretty good.
