Girl Crazy Page #4

Come on, let's glorify love

Ding-dang it

You'll shout encore if I love

Don't be a naughty baby

Come to papa, come to papa, do

My sweet embraceable

You

My sweet embraceable

You

I love all the many charms

About you

Above all

I want my arms about you

Don't be a naughty baby

- Come to Tommy

- Come to Georgie

- Come to Harry

- Come to Johnny

- Come to Bobby

- Come to baby, do

My sweet embraceable

You

Henry, do you think

the night is this beautiful...

...just because it's my birthday?

Oh, I don't know. I'd say it was

more or less of a coincidence.

Oh, you would?

- Ginger.

- Yes, Henry?

- Ginger, I'm a man of few words and...

- Yes, Henry?

Well, after approaching the subject

from every standpoint very objectively...

...I think it would be to our mutual

advantage if we became engaged.

- Engaged?

- Yes.

And after a respectable period of time,

I think we should be married.

Henry, this is so sudden.

Well, you know I like to put my cards

on the table.

Yes, well, I think you could

have taken out the joker.

Well?

- Well, what?

- Well, I'm waiting for an answer.

- Well, that's pretty complicated.

- It's really quite simple.

You're young, attractive, intelligent

and I'm young and intelligent.

And all we need is a meeting

of the minds.

Meeting of the minds?

Look, Henry, I think you're

an awfully nice boy...

...and I'm very fond of you.

But you just don't ask a girl

to marry you...

...like going to the hardware store

to buy a coffee grinder.

You don't come up

to a girl and say:

"The humidity's high for this time

of year. Will you marry me?"

Well, I just didn't want to get romantic.

You just didn't want to get romantic.

What are you saving it for?

I thought we were above

that sort of thing.

Well, Henry, maybe you are.

I hope I'm not.

Very well, Ginger, I'm not discouraged.

Shall we go back?

No, you go ahead.

I'm going to stay out here

and just look at everything.

As you wish.

What are you doing here?

I just got to thinking

about what you said in the car...

...and I got to thinking

that you were right.

Besides, I heard you were getting

married...

...so I came back to offer my services.

- In what capacity?

- Best man.

Well, I'm not getting married.

I didn't think so.

I just said, I didn't think so.

Oh, you didn't think so.

Have you been listening all the time?

No, really, I was trapped there.

He certainly does pack a terrific wallop.

- Who?

- Mr. Put-Your-Cards-on-the-Table.

He's a very nice fellow.

Yes, he's a very nice fellow.

Just the guy to get

Juliet off the balcony.

Well, there are other things

besides making love.

Wait a minute. Don't start knocking that.

Are you going to be staying...

...around?

Yes.

I'm going to be staying... around.

I thought you hated it here?

Not anymore.

Well, what made you decide to stay...

...around?

Well, it could be the climate...

...around, but it isn't.

Or it could be my love

for the great open spaces...

...but it isn't.

And again,

it could be that I just like you.

Yeah. Yeah, it could be.

- Were you always out of your mind?

- No, no, no, just lately.

And gosh, it's wonderful.

- I think I'd better get back to the party.

- Oh, wait a minute.

- Here, I've got a present for you.

- For me?

Sure. My grandmother gave it

to my father, and he gave it to me.

It's lucky.

It's beautiful. My.

That's me, before and after.

- You haven't changed much.

- Only I dress better now.

I can't take it if it's your lucky piece.

No, go ahead and keep it.

I won't need it now.

Now that you're around.

Gosh, first a piano and now this.

It's quite a birthday.

Would you do something for me?

Well, remember the kiss

that I gave you this afternoon?

Would you mind giving it back to me?

Oh, well, if that's the way

you feel about it.

- Happy birthday.

- What?

Happy birth...

Come in.

- Hi, Rags.

- Hi, Mr. Churchill.

- How are you feeling?

- Well, great, as long as I don't sit down.

Mr. Churchill, I knew you wasn't

gonna walk out on us.

You did? How?

I wasn't one of those taxi jockeys

in New York for nothing.

You ain't the kind that'll hop out

of a cab in the middle of traffic...

...just because the meter's gonna jump.

Thanks, Rags.

- Will you do something for me?

- Anything.

- Will you send this telegram for me?

- Sure.

I'll phone it in from

the post exchange.

Thanks. Here's something

for your trouble.

- No, that's all right.

- Why not?

Oh, no, I never touch the stuff.

Money's just like women and popcorn...

...the more you get the more you want.

I ain't had change

for a quarter in 10 years...

...and, boy, am I a happy guy.

- Hello, Rags. How are you?

- Mr. Lathrop.

- Would you do me a favor, please?

- Sure.

- Send this before the station closes.

- Well, there's the telephone right there.

Well, I can't go around

reading other people's mail.

Have a sandwich?

Oh, no, thanks.

Had too much birthday cake.

"Mr. Daniel Churchill Sr.

New York Union,

Times Square, New York City.

Dear Dad, have changed my mind. " Stop.

"Am not leaving Cody. " Stop.

"This school has as much personality

as a cup of cold cocoa...

...and I still think

the place is pretty snerpy. "

- Excuse me, I made a...

- Go ahead, Tom.

"And the students here play

cowboys and Indians...

...but you know a Churchill never quits. "

Stop.

"There's something about this place

that fills a fellow with plenty of ginger. "

Stop. "I would appreciate check

by Pony Express.

Love, Danny Boy. " Thanks, Ed.

Cowboys and Indians?

Come on, fellows.

- What's going on, Henry?

- I'm calling a mass meeting tonight.

What for?

To discuss the dismissal

of Danny Churchill Jr.

- Why?

- Read the telegram he sent his father.

"Dear Dad, changed my mind.

Am not leaving Cody. "

Danny Churchill or no Danny Churchill?

He won't change the school to his liking.

The student council will take care

of this.

Come on.

- Did you put this up on the board?

- I did.

I think you and I better step outside.

You know, this Western air fools you.

It makes you feel extra brave.

All right, so you're taller than I am.

- I think that we'd...

- No, I'm all right.

- I can take care of myself.

- Well, all right.

Why, Henry here is the boxing champ

of the school.

Do you want to step outside or not?

Mr. Churchill, Mr. Lathrop, the dean

wants you in the office.

- Do you know what he wants?

- No, I don't, but he's steaming.

- Good day.

- How are you, sir?

Little excitement going on here?

- Yes, sir.

- What seems to be the trouble?

- It seems...

- We found...

From left to right, please.

- It's about this telegram.

- I've been informed of its contents.

This is my fault.

Those are my sentiments.

I'm sorry I feel the way I do, but I do.

I feel as though I've caused enough

trouble here.

I think the best thing for me to do

is resign.

Young man, you are the resign-est

fellow I ever saw.

- Yes, sir.

- All you've done since you arrived...

...was unpack, pack and resign.
