Girl Crazy Page #2

- Swell.

- Come on, let's go.

Hi.

This is Danny Churchill,

just got in from New York.

This is Bud Livermore,

you're roommate.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Hi.

Big day tomorrow.

See you in the morning, about 6:00.

Yeah.

Did...? Did he say 6:00?

- When do you sleep?

- We hit the hay pretty early.

- At about what time?

- All lights out at 9:30.

That's a quaint little hour.

Yeah, and the hay feels pretty good

about then.

- What do you sleep on around here?

- These.

- No mattress?

- Yeah, right here.

You unroll them. I'll show you how.

I can see we put them down ourselves

but who puts them up?

You put hooks on the side of the wall...

...and this room can become

a nice little closet.

You get used to it.

They keep you so busy,

most of the time you don't even notice it.

I'm curious.

What does a fellow do around here?

Well, you're up at 5:45.

Roll your cot, clean the room...

...and you're in the mess hall by 6:10.

On the days you don't wait on tables.

- Well, how about do you ever...?

- Then you're back in your room at 6:45.

- Until 7, your time's your own.

- Well, do you ever get...?

Then you go to classes until 10 minutes

of 1, dinner until 1:30.

Then you have another 15 minutes

to do anything.

Like playing 18 holes of golf.

Then in the afternoon,

you work in the laboratory...

...or in the mine shaft or with the

livestock, depending on your courses.

- Don't you get...?

- Until 5:
45.

Then come back to your room

for supper.

After supper, you study till 9:30

and then you go to bed.

In a wheelchair, no doubt.

- So you see, it's a pretty full day.

- I'd say so.

Except Saturday, we have

the afternoon off from 3 till 6.

Oh, goody, goody.

And at night we see movies,

sometimes talkies.

Talkies?

Well, that sort of rounds out

the whole week, doesn't it?

Yeah. I'll go take a shower now

before I do anything else...

I forgot to tell you...

...the showers are out back,

there aren't too many of them.

You have to write your name

on a slip of paper...

...and put it in the box in the hall.

The monitor checks it

when you can use them.

The best day is Saturday.

Good morning.

Hey, come on.

Hey, you gotta get up.

- Up and at them.

- No, no, no.

- Come on.

- Look. I'll tell them. I'll tell them.

- Fine. When he gets here, I'll tell them.

- Come on. Come on. Up you get.

Yeah, 48 states in America and

I have to wake up in a bureau drawer.

- What was that?

- The gong. You get used to it.

- Yeah. Like hanging.

- Come on, will you get up there?

- Fine. I'm up.

- Come on.

I jump right out of bed, see?

Okay. Fine.

What, no Indians?

- Hi, you lads.

- Hello, Bud.

- How are you?

- How did you sleep?

Sleep? I hardly yawned.

Well, wait till you get your lungs full

of some of that good fresh air.

- Here you are. Climb into these.

- What are these?

We're going on an all-day ride.

Do it every two weeks.

- Well, where to?

- Nowhere in particular.

We ride up into the hills

and spend the night...

...and we come home in the morning.

Well, if it's all the same to you fellows,

I think I'll just sit this one out.

- No, you don't.

- Come on.

Come on, Dan. Come on, Dan.

Come on, fellows, let's go.

Hey, wait a minute.

Wait a minute, will you?

How do I look?

You look great, old man.

Yeah, well, if you bump into

Buffalo Bill, tell him not to worry.

That's a good one.

Hey, where'd everybody go?

Hey, who's riding that buck?

- Good morning.

- Hello, Rags.

- Ain't you coming along?

- As soon as I finish the mail.

Hurry. There's no point to these rides

unless you barbecue them steaks.

I'll be there.

What's holding everything up?

We're waiting for Park Avenue

to mount Whitey.

Oh, fine. I gotta see that.

I hope you fellows have a spirited

animal for me...

...because I'm a guy that likes a horse

with plenty of zoom.

- I think we can arrange that.

- Well, where is he?

There he is, Whitey.

Well, I'll see you later.

Why, you'll love Whitey.

He's as meek as a lamb.

Hey, what's that?

The new guy from New York.

He's riding Whitey.

Wait a minute.

You want me to climb up on that?

Why, sure.

All right, boys, let's go.

Whitey.

Hey, Whitey.

Whitey, please.

What have I done?

Hi there.

Can I give you a lift?

Anything you could give me

would be an improvement.

You're that young fellow

from New York, ain't you?

No. No.

I'm that old fellow from New York.

- Who are you?

- I'm Rags, New York City.

Checker Cab Company, Class of 1933.

Yeah, you haven't got

a checkered cab with you, have you?

No, but I got a buckboard.

I can take you up to the camp in that.

- What camp?

- With the boys.

Hey, where's Whitey?

Whitey?

Oh, Whitey hit the road.

He'll stop when

he gets back to the corral.

As far as I'm concerned, he can keep

going until he hits Connecticut.

- Well, you ready to ride?

- Yeah.

If I can sit on my stomach.

What else do they do around here

besides play cowboys and Indians?

The boys work pretty hard...

...especially since they threatened

to close the school.

- Yeah? Why?

- I don't know.

Something about the legislature

couldn't get enough unenrollments.

If it hadn't been for Armour

and his granddaughter Ginger...

Ginger? Say, is that the girl

that delivers the mail?

That's her. She's coming out

to cook supper for the boys.

Tell me about her, will you?

Ain't nothing much to tell

except that she's just wonderful.

- Everybody loves her.

- Are you sure it's just everybody?

Yeah. Especially Henry Lathrop.

Is he the fellow that goes around

acting like he owns the place?

That's him.

I knew there was something

about him I didn't like.

- Hi, Rags.

- Hey, you lost a tire.

Hey, Danny. Where's Whitey?

Who's that cowboy with you?

Did you enjoy the ride?

Yeah. I haven't had so much fun

since I was shot out of a cannon.

Some fellows like to tiptoe

Through the tulips

Some fellows go on

Singing in the rain

Some fellows keep on painting skies

With rainbows

Some fellows go on swinging

Down the lane

But

I'm biding my time

Because that's the kind of guy I'm

While other folks grow dizzy

I'll keep busy

Biding my time

Next year

Next year

Something's bound to happen

This year

This year

I'll just keep on napping

I'm biding my time

Because that's the kind of guy I'm

There's no regretting

When I'm setting

Biding my time

I'm biding my time

Biding my time

Because that's the kind of guy I'm

Beginning on a Monday

Right through Sunday

Biding my time

- I'm biding my time

- I'm biding, biding

Cause that's the kind of guy I'm

That's I'm

Chasing away flies

How the day flies

Biding, biding my time

Yahoo

Yahoo

Stranger so long

I'll just go along

Biding

Biding

Biding

My time

This Western air certainly does

bring out harmony, doesn't it?

It brings out a lot of things.

Ginger.

- Yes, Henry.

- You'd better be getting back.

- It's exactly 8:14.

- Yeah.

You know, the astounding thing, that

in exactly 24 hours it'll be 8:14 again.
