On the Town Page #8

Why, Professor, you ought to feel proud

about that dinosaur.

You ought to feel proud that three sailors

from the United States Navy...

...got off the ship for one day,

and what did they do?

Were they thirsty for hard liquor? No.

They were thirsty for culture.

Were they running after girls? No.

They came running to the museum

to see your dinosaur.

For months out at sea they were dreaming

about your dinosaur.

Is it any wonder that seeing it face to face,

overcome by emotion...

...that one of them fell against it

and broke it a little?

I'll bet if that dinosaur could speak,

he'd say...

...what any public-spirited citizen would,

"For the Navy, anytime."

And the cab. We didn't steal it.

It was my last fare for the day.

And the biggest fare this cab company

has ever had:
$287.50

And why did I keep this fare all day,

ladies and gentlemen?

Because I know my duty toward

the servicemen.

There was this one...

He was just a little fella.

A skinny, little runt. He kept pestering me

and following me around.

I couldn't shake him off. And, finally,

he kind of got under my skin.

You would have done the same.

He wanted to see the beautiful sights

of our beautiful city of New York.

And I showed him plenty.

And what do you think these boys

think now of our New York hospitality?

Where's our civic pride?

We should have hugged them

to our bosoms and said:

"Boys, the town is yours."

How about the speeding?

As a matter of fact,

they weren't doing much over 35.

- They were crawling at a snail's pace.

- They were practically going backwards.

Just a minute.

Folks, it's 5:
15,

and these kids have just got time enough...

...to get down to the ship

and say goodbye to the fellas.

Now, I want to see some action,

and I'm gonna start it.

Come on.

"Hooray for the Red, White and Blue

"Say hooray for the Red, White and Blue"

"I feel like I'm not out of bed yet

"The sun is warm

"But my blanket's warmer

"Sleep

"Sleep in your lady's arms"

Hey, come on!

- "New York, New York

- New York, New York

"New York, New York

"It's a wonderful town

"New York, New York's

A wonderful town..."
