You might as well
hear the rest of the concert.
Taxi!
- Grand Central.
- Sorry, lady, this cab's taken.
Oh, for goodness' sake. Taxi!
You shouldn't have done that.
I don't feel like driving anyway.
I wanna listen to the music.
Well, looks like that's the end.
Yes.
That's the end.
You can turn the radio off now...
and drive on.
I've heard all that I wanna hear.
You gotta listen to "Alexander's Ragtime
Band." You can't go without hearing that.
But I don't wanna hear it!
Turn it off, I tell you.
- Why don't you wanna hear it?
- Because I can't! That's why.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to play "Alexander's
Ragtime Band" for two reasons.
One, because I consider it the first,
and best, of all swing songs.
And second, because it means more
to me than any other piece of music.
Hearing it may take you back.
Playing it takes me back, too.
And so, if you'll forgive me,
I'd like to play this song
not only for you and for the people
with whom you may associate it,
but also for the people, and especially
the one person, with whom I associate it.
Did you hear that, Miss Kirby?
- How did you know?
- Oh, I heard you sing many a time.
- And you remembered me?
- Sure! You was great. Listen.
Sing.
Sing.
