Girl Crazy Page #5

- Yes, sir.

- Would you tell me something?

- Yes, sir.

Just what is the meaning

of the word "snerpy"?

Well... Well, a snerp...

...is a looging with a belt in the back.

Sometimes referred to as a diljo.

- A diljo is a...

- Never mind. I have a rough idea.

- Henry Lathrop.

- Yes, sir?

What prompted you put that notice

on the board?

- The student council had a meeting...

- A meeting?

Every time a cow coughs,

that council has a meeting.

Where's my glass?

We felt if that was Mr. Churchill's

opinion, he didn't belong here.

You did? If you'd been minding

your own business...

...you wouldn't know what people are

saying in private telegrams.

If you didn't know that,

there wouldn't have been a meeting.

- Sir, we were only...

- Would there?

- No.

- Supposing we forget all about it.

- But the student council...

- Hoot on the student council.

There's my glass.

- Lf this young man thinks we're a...

- A diljo?

A diljo, that's his privilege.

- We're still in America, aren't we?

- Yes, sir.

Well, that gives him a right

to call us a diljo.

As for you, supposing you stop

unpacking, packing and resigning...

...and start learning something

around here?

Yes, sir.

Well, get going, both of you.

Oh, just a minute.

There's another American custom.

Well, don't stand there like

Ike and Mike, scoot.

- Hi, boys.

- Hi, dean.

Hello, Gramps.

Ginger, have we a slang dictionary?

What's your problem?

What word do you want?

Looging.

- Looging?

- With a belt in the back.

Flash. The legislature today...

... in conjunction with

the new education bill...

... has ordered Cody College

to be closed next year.

Reason given by legislature:

Applications for enrollment

have fallen off to an extent...

... that they decided

to withdraw school's charter.

The bill awaits Governor Tait's

signature.

What does that mean?

The school closes.

Well, that's impossible.

- Did you know about it?

- Yes.

Well, they can't do that.

- Let's do something about it.

- I've done all I could.

- Lf he signs that...

- Don't worry.

After all these years...

Gramp.

Well, I just can't stand here.

I better call a meeting,

tell them about it.

What will you do if you lose

the school?

Oh, I'll find some other kind

of business, I reckon.

I'm getting kind of tired of the boys,

anyhow.

- Hi there.

- Hello.

Any mail for me?

No, not today.

Ginger, about forwarding my mail...

Here. You can fill that out.

Well, I guess now that the college

is closing, all your problems are settled.

Look, Ginger, I'm not gonna be

a hypocrite and say:

"I'm sorry the place is closing,"

because I'm not.

But I am sorry about leaving you.

Hey, come on.

Things aren't really that bad.

I'm sorry, but poor Gramp.

All his life,

he worked so hard for the place.

Why, every boy that came in there

was just like his own.

Here, blow.

Blow. Blow.

Ginger,

I'm not going back to New York.

- You're not?

- No, I'm gonna stay right here.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not getting sentimental.

I don't care about the school.

As far as I'm concerned...

...it's just a place to look at

from an upper berth.

But, well, I...

I do care about you.

- You do?

- Yes, I do.

What they need here's a less cheering

and more operation.

You bet.

Let's go to the dean's. We'll give him

something to cheer about.

- All right.

- Are you through with that?

- Yeah.

- Thanks. Come on.

- May we ask you a question, please?

- Why, certainly.

How many applications do you need

for next year's freshman class?

Oh, about 125.

You mean if 125 applied for admission,

that you'd get the appropriation?

- That's right.

- It's very simple.

What made Dartmouth famous?

The Dartmouth Winter Carnival.

What put Southern California

on the map?

The Rose Bowl.

What made Notre Dame

a household word?

Football teams.

Every college in the country

was made famous by some event.

What's the springboard

for Cody College?

A Western rodeo.

Once a year we'll bring back the West.

- Daniel Boone.

- Jesse James and Buffalo Bill.

- Beautiful girls.

- On horseback.

- Glorious costumes. Happy. Carefree.

- Gay.

Once a year,

we'll choose the most beautiful girl.

We'll make her Queen of the Rodeo.

Sure. Little kids will be begging

their mothers to send them out here.

Well, it's fantastic.

All we want is your permission

to see the governor.

Well, I've lived through three blizzards,

an epidemic and four wars in my time.

I guess I could stand

a hundred beautiful girls.

- On horseback.

- On horseback.

Danny, I give you the governor.

Hey. Hey. Egghead.

- Ma'am.

- You took the wrong road.

So I did.

Yes, I'll call you as soon as I can make

an appointment with the governor.

Not at all. Thank you.

"Governor's daughter

makes debut tonight.

Marjorie Tait, season's popular deb,

official hostess at inaugural ball. "

- She's a pretty girl.

- Domestic, isn't she?

What time is it?

Four o'clock.

- Excuse me, sir, but don't you...

- I'm sorry...

...but the governor is still busy

with a special committee.

And besides, he's seeing no one today

except by appointment.

Not even a Republican?

What are we gonna do?

Stand up, Ginger, and let me...

Let me see that dress.

Will you? For a minute, please?

Stand up and let me...

Let me see your dress.

My, my.

It's awfully pretty. Blue is nice on you.

Yes, sir. Very, very pretty.

Yes, you...

...certainly, certainly look nice.

What'd you write on that...?

Would you take this into the governor?

I hate to bother you like this.

"Dear Bill, in town for the day.

Could you see me a minute?

Regards, Dan. "

Now, young fellow,

we can't have any of that.

Please, take it in. I'll bet he'll see me.

- What are you trying to do, get me fired?

- No.

- The governor has a broadcast here...

- Please, if he doesn't see us, we'll leave.

- Yeah.

- Well, all right.

- Can we leave the equipment here?

- Yes.

The room we'll use for the broadcast

is down the hall.

I'll show it to you.

I don't think we're gonna get to see him.

Oh, sure we will.

Here we are at Forest Hills...

...bringing you the tennis matches

between Covas and Lopez from Mexico.

Miss Covas is about to serve.

It's an excellent serve, cross-handed.

Back-handed cross-court.

Miss Covas outside.

It's 40-love, match point.

Miss Lopez is about to serve now.

She asked that everybody in the gallery

be silent.

It's an excellent serve.

It's cross-courted back-hand.

There's a volley.

Out.

We're about to bring you the main

event between champion Joe Louis...

...and the contender, Johnny Paycheck.

As yet, both boys have not come

into the ring...

...but we expect them at any moment.

And here's Harry Bellows

announcing in the center of the ring.

Introducing the main contestants

of the evening...

...15 rounds of boxing...

...for the heavyweight championship

of the world...

...from Des Moines, Iowa,

weighing 187 and a quarter pounds...

...wearing black trunks,
