Not if he didn't want to.

I guess he wanted to.

Hey, Babe, you ready?

Connie, I'll stay here with you.

Oh, that's sweet,

but it wouldn't help either one of us.

Well, there must be a way

of fixing this. I'll try.

No, don't. Don't try to fix anything.

I don't want him anymore.

You have a good time.

Well, what'll you do?

Oh, I'll read my favorite book...

...Les Misrables.

Have fun.

Goodbye.

I thought I'd found my ideal man

I always knew he'd arrive

Though he's a true heart-appeal man

He doesn't know I'm alive

But I don't spend my time in grieving

I've learned the trick

Of make-believing

So if I can't have my real man

There's only one way to thrive

Just imagine

That he loves me dearly

Just imagine

That I'm his sincerely

I'm pretending

That he's sending

Love notes ending

"I love you"

Seems that he's there

As the day is closing

On his knees there

I hear him proposing

He's not present

Still it's pleasant

To just imagine

That it's true

Come on, hurry up.

Break it up.

We want to see if we have

a game here Saturday.

Marlowe, Marlowe.

"D" in English.

"D" in history.

"D" in physics.

"C" in biology.

He never got those marks before.

He hasn't been studying. McClellan is

leading him around by the nose.

- He just made it.

- Yeah? Where's the French marks?

They're not posted yet.

I passed everything.

Guess I'll play in the game Saturday.

You're a genius. All we have to do

is worry about Tommy.

Where is he?

Hey, Babe, you passed everything!

I did?

Bobby! Bobby! I told you

last night I'd pass.

Hey, did you see him last night?

Here comes Tommy.

Well, kids, here I is.

- Darling, it's "here I am. "

- It's only slang.

I don't like you

to speak badly.

Okay, darling. Hi, coach.

Hi, Poochie.

Hello, darling.

Well, do I play Saturday?

- Yeah, you passed everything.

- But...

- "But"?

- The French marks aren't up yet.

You're not gonna worry about that.

My best subject.

Saturday's my big day.

We'll mop up the field with Colton.

- I hope so.

- And don't forget.

Saturday's a big day

for another reason.

Don't you remember?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Well, shall we tell everybody?

Yes. Yes, why not?

Listen, everybody. Saturday,

after Tommy wins the big game...

Oh, you tell them, Tommy.

All I wanted to say, kids, was that...

...after the big game

with Colton Saturday...

...Pat and I are gonna announce

our engagement.

- Holy mackerel!

- What is it?

"F."

- They can't do this to me.

- Can't? They did.

Well, that's that.

"That's that"?

We've gotta do something.

You've gotta play that game Saturday.

I know. The dean!

Come in.

The dean and Professor Kennyon

have decided to give Marlowe...

...a re-examination in French

tomorrow afternoon.

How nice for him.

When can you start coaching him?

- Me?

- Sure.

Yes, you.

Marlowe says you're the best.

Tell Mr. Marlowe I thank him for

the compliment, but I'm too busy.

Tell him to ask Miss McClellan.

- She says...

- I don't want them to bother you.

Pat speaks French,

but she's not up on her grammar...

- Tell Mr. Marlowe, "Quel fromage. "

- What?

I don't care what you think

about Marlowe...

...but that game next Saturday

is a dead duck without him.

- I don't care whether he plays or not.

- You don't?

You'd lose the game for us?

You're building the foundations

of a lifetime guilt complex!

I know how you feel,

but you've no choice.

- It's for dear old Tait.

- You gotta do something.

All right, for dear old Tait.

Tell Mr. Marlowe I'll meet him

at the sorority house at 8:00.

In the kitchen.

Gee, thanks, Connie.

Now name the verbs that take

tre instead of avoir.

Aller, tomber, sortir...

...partir, venir...

I can't think of any more.

That's hardly the right attitude.

You have an exam to pass.

Yeah, I know.

Kennyon is devoting his time

to giving you this chance.

I'm giving up my time.

The least you can do is concentrate.

I keep thinking of

so many other things.

Connie, won't you even talk to me?

You were doing splendidly with those

verbs. Would you try them again?

The moon belongs

To everyone

The best things in life

Are free

The stars belong

To everyone

They gleam there

For you and me

The flowers in spring

The robins that sing

The sunbeams that shine

They're yours

They're mine

And love

Can come to everyone

The best things in life

Are free

The flowers in spring

The robins that sing

Let me say I'm sorry. You haven't

talked to me for two months.

There's nothing to talk about.

You'd better study,

because if you study, you'll play.

And if you play, you'll win.

When you win, you'll be engaged

to Pat. Isn't that what you want?

Yeah, sure.

That's what I want.

Finish that translation,

then we'll be through for the night.

The best things in life

The best things in life

La lune, c'est tout le monde

On n'a pas besoin d'argent

Le ciel, c'est I pour tout le monde

On n'a pas besoin d'argent

Les fleurs de printemps

Les oiseaux qui chantent

Ces belles choses sont tout

Pour moi

Pour vous

And love can come

To everyone

The best things in life

Are free

How am I doing?

Just a few little mistakes.

Mistakes.

I've made one after the other, starting

with breaking that date with you.

Oh, that was no mistake.

You got what you wanted.

Yeah, I guess so.

Gee, it's funny to think about

being engaged.

I wonder what it's like to be stuck

with one person for life.

If it were the right one, you

wouldn't see yourself as stuck.

I didn't exactly mean "stuck. "

I mean, well...

Do you ever think about yourself after

college, settled down and married?

Of course. I guess every girl has

a pretty good idea of what she wants.

What do you want?

Oh, I guess I'd like to have

a family to bring up...

...and be able to go to concerts

and theaters, balcony seats...

...and have people over to the house,

a nice little house.

A vine-covered cottage?

Or an apartment.

I guess the important thing is

finding the right fellow.

It sounds pretty dull to you,

doesn't it?

No, it sounds wonderful.

What do you want?

Well, I guess I...

Hello.

Just came in to see

how the lesson's going.

The patient will live.

I didn't know a French lesson

included singing love songs.

You were listening.

I heard Tommy's voice, and I naturally

thought he was singing for me.

I need hardly remind you

that we're practically engaged.

Making a play for a practically engaged

man is a very unladylike thing to do.

So is listening at keyholes.

Oh, don't worry, Pat.

Tommy will get all the answers right

because he loves you.

Even if he didn't, I wouldn't want him.

I wouldn't want him if he were

the last man here.

You picked the perfect mate

for yourself.

He's inconsiderate, vain, selfish,

and you can't believe a word he says.

And the same goes for you. You deserve

to be stuck with each other.

Congratulations!

I know you'll both be very happy.

I wonder where Connie is.

What's going on?

Well, do you want to correct it?
