Yeah, 30 million dollars' worth.

Isn't it disgusting?

And still, poor Tommy has no one

to go to the dance with.

All that dough, most popular

guy in school, no date.

Maybe you're betting on

the wrong horse.

- Mind your own business.

- Temper, temper.

A medicine man I met

Said, "Don't get yourself in a sweat"

When things look gray

Just shrug and say

"It must have been something I 'et"'

"So don't get yourself

In a snit, " he said

Tuck your tantrums

Into your kit instead

"It's disarming to be charming"

Quoth the medicine man

Whom all agree, it's plain to see

Nobody could be wiser than

So if your temper's

Getting the top hand

All you have to do is just stop and

Pass that peace pipe and

Bury that hatchet

Like the Choctaws, Chickasaws,

Chattahoochees, Chippewas do

If you're feeling mad as a wet hen

Mad as you can possibly get, then

Pass that peace pipe and

Bury that tomahawk

Like those Chichimecs,

Cherokees, Chapultepecs too

When you're cranky

Try to use a little restraint

Fold that hanky

And wipe off all of that war paint

But if you wanna be an all-right guy

Not a long-face,

Blues-in-the-night guy

Write that apology and dispatch it

When you've quarreled

It's grand to patch it

Pass that peace pipe and

Bury that hatchet

Like the Choctaws, Chickasaws,

Chattahoochees, Chippewas

And those Chichimecs,

Cherokees, Chapultepecs

And those Chicutemis,

Chapechets and Chicapees

Chochos, Changos, Chattanoogas,

Cheecharows do

Chocho!

Chango!

Chattanooga, Chippewa!

Chow, chow!

Choo, choo!

Chichimec, Chapultepec!

If you use a little control

You'll be top man on the totem pole

- Professor Kennyon!

- Oh, Miss Lane.

I was going to see you. I corrected

the tests, I'll give them to you now.

Thank you. Yes, the elementary

class. That was a fast job.

- Oh, excuse me...

- Well!

Gee, Connie! It's good to see you.

Oh, excuse me, professor.

Watch your step in more ways than one.

I've got your first exam here.

How did our football star do?

- A perfect paper. 100 percent.

- I did?

I'm surprised. Don't get careless.

You've got to tow the mark with me.

Football and studies don't mix.

Good day.

He's a pleasant old cuss.

Well, I've got to go

to football practice.

Gee, I got a perfect paper.

You know why? It's all your work.

It's just a vocabulary test,

mostly words you taught me that day.

Yes, I know.

It isn't half as much fun

when Kennyon teaches it.

I never have the least

impulse to kiss him.

Speaking of your impulses,

how about Pat McClellan?

Are you making a dent on her

with your French?

Oh, here, I'll take these.

Guess I should have used

that hockey stick.

It doesn't matter anymore. I knew

it the second I bumped into you.

I don't care. I don't care

if I never see her again.

Will you go to the prom with me?

After she declined?

No, thanks.

But I'm glad she did, because

now I can ask you.

Play second fiddle? No, thanks.

Guess I don't blame you.

- Well, who are you going to ask now?

- Nobody.

I'm not going stag.

Guess I won't go at all.

Not go to the prom?

But that's silly! Lt'll

practically be in your honor.

I'll go if you'll go with me.

Well...

- All right.

- You will? Wonderful!

Eight o'clock.

I'm late for practice.

Good luck in the game.

Oh, they sure are blue.

Look at Connie.

Hi, Connie!

She's acting so strange.

Connie, hello!

Hello...

So I told her if that's what she...

Hello, Connie.

Miss Connie!

- The sink, it's acting up again.

- It is? How nice.

How do you like that?

- She must've gone crazy.

- Overwork.

She's having a breakdown,

poor kid. I gotta do something!

Connie, are you all right?

- Babe, guess what?

- What?

I'm going to the prom tomorrow.

So that's it.

Wonderful! Who are you going with?

- You'll never guess.

- Then you better tell me.

Oh, I know it seems impossible, but...

...he likes me.

- Who?

Tommy.

- Tommy Marlowe.

- Tommy!

Connie, I think I ought

to warn you. Pat...

Oh, Pat! He told me all about that.

- It's all over.

- Are you sure?

Oh, of course, I'm sure.

Don't spoil my fun, Babe.

- What should I wear?

- A suit of armor.

Just think, I'm going out

with a football hero.

Yay, Marlowe! Come on, Marlowe!

Touchdown!

Tommy! Tommy!

Oh, I was so thrilled! You made

a football fan out of me overnight.

Oh, Tommy, I was

so mistaken about you.

But today, when I saw you

on the field...

...I suddenly realized

that maybe I was so rude to you...

...because I really liked you.

But I didn't want to like you

as much as I could...

...if I really let myself.

Pat, this is crazy. It's wonderful!

I don't know what to say.

I know what to say.

Can I go with you to the prom tonight?

Can you? Oh, this is terrific!

Wait a minute.

What about Van Dyne?

He just doesn't matter.

Poor Peter, he's really so stuffy.

I should've known

the minute you saw me play a game.

This is wonderful.

It's the greatest day of my life!

I win the opening game and you

at the same time.

Mademoiselle...

...voulez-vous accompany moi

la prom ce soir?

Your French is beautiful.

Enchante, monsieur, enchante.

See you tonight, then.

Tonight.

Connais-tu le pays?

Connais-tu, connais-tu? Con...

Connie!

372-J, please.

So I said, "Herbert, if you think

I'm one of those red-hot mamas...

...you're very badly mistaken. "

372-J, please.

That's right.

I said, "You may think

you're a sheik...

...but your harem has to

do without me.

That is, unless you change your tune. "

372-J, please.

- Hey, Janet.

- Wait.

- Well, you certainly took long enough.

- It's all yours, June.

Georgia, look. I got an orchid!

- Look, Joe sent me an orchid.

- Oh, boy!

My, that powder!

- Those from Bill?

- Aren't they pretty?

Beautiful.

I said, "I don't think

the car's out of gas.

If you think I'm walking home,

you've got another guess coming.

I brought my roller skates.

And furthermore... "

Flo, for Pete's sakes! You've been

on that telephone for two hours.

Oh, well, goodbye, Sally.

Who's taking me to the dance?

Well, who do you think? Herbert!

- How do I look?

- You don't look like a librarian.

- I don't feel like one.

- Connie, telephone call for you.

Babe, I was working on

that step you were doing.

- I know it starts like this...

- No, you're all wrong.

You throw your hip out like this.

Then you do...

Oh, that's cute like that.

That's where that comes in.

Oh, I love that step.

Vamoose, Flo. See you later.

Okay, sure. See you later.

Don't tell me. I know.

He broke the date.

He's going with Pat.

Babe, I feel so awful.

Oh, Connie, don't cry. Please.

How could he do that?

Call up at the last minute?

He's horrible.

He's just so dumb.

He is not dumb.

He got 100 percent

on his first French exam.

It's all my fault. I sicced her onto

him. I had to open my big mouth!

Gee, Connie, I didn't know

you liked him.

Fine friend I turned out to be.

Oh, don't blame yourself.

He didn't have to change his mind

the minute she came running.
