Up off the ground.
That's right, pass it high.
Up off the ground.
Pass it high.
Sal. Take over, will you?
- Hey, I was just looking for you up there.
- I came out by the front.
- Well, you're pretty daring.
- It's perfectly legal.
I just looked it up. A man's allowed
to kiss any girl he's engaged to.
Hey, you're not gonna wear
those pants?
Not pants. They're slacks.
Watch your language.
Look. We got
This game isn't so much pleasure,
more business.
And I don't want anything
to go flooey.
They're pretty conservative people,
these Bemingers, and...
- It's too late now. Come on, let's go.
- No, no, wait. Wait.
Go.
Oh, mister, the things
I've done for this school.
This time it's worth it, honey.
Beminger's good and ripe.
For what?
Biggest donation
I've gotten all year.
- Hooray for our side.
- Your side especially.
He's really serious
about building us that new gym.
How fascinating.
Now, all we've got to do
is the right thing and say it.
- At your service.
- Well, number one, it's he and you...
...against Mrs. Beminger and me.
- Yes, sir.
I could make it look pretty good
and lose, but Mrs. Beminger's a whiz.
- Do or die, that's me.
- Just see that you win.
- Yes, sir. Do my best.
- Let's not blow this.
Yeah, yeah, do my best.
Just watch me.
I'll tell you what to do...
...and then let's hope
you can do it.
- Thanks.
- What?
Nothing.
Well, give us a kiss, honey.
I'm nervous as a cat.
- Good afternoon. Good afternoon.
- Hi.
- How are you, Mrs. Beminger?
- Hi.
- Come on, Collier, let's go.
- Eighteen holes is a lot of holes.
- All set.
Say, that's quite a swing
you've got there, Mrs. B.
What do you say, Ma?
I say:
- After you, dear. Okay, Mr. B?
- Yeah.
- Go ahead.
- Got a tee, Coll?
Yeah.
Now, don't let me down, now.
Let's see the good one.
Oh, too bad.
You've got to tense
the gluteal muscles, dear.
If you don't tense
the gluteal muscles...
...why, your whole alignment is off.
- You want me to get you a soapbox?
- Play your cards.
- What?
Tee off.
Thank you, lady.
Thank you very much.
I wouldn't have known what to do
if you hadn't told me.
Thank you.
Oh, tense the gluteal muscles,
did you say?
Yes. That's right.
Tense.
Well, I see what you mean.
Makes all the difference.
- It does.
- All.
Gotta tense. Tense.
Well, for heaven's sake,
I know, don't I?
Beauty.
Take your time, partner.
It's all up to you now, don't forget.
Quiet, do you mind?
My dear, if you would
lean your weight...
...on your right foot, the way I do...
Take into consideration
an endowment...
...that has some permanent value.
What is the concrete thing
that you can point to...
...in the years to come with...?
So all I can say is to...
...consider that every time
you look up at that building...
...you're in a position
- that you'll find it is
to develop your reflexes.
Yes, you've got to learn to relax.
To give in.
We can settle this some other time.
- Forty, 60. Come here, boy.
- Yes, sir.
- Split that up.
- How about a nice, tall, cool one?
I'll take mine in the locker room.
See you in 20 minutes
in the lounge.
The one thing he can't stand,
Mr. B, is to lose.
With him, it's not the principle
of the thing, it's the money.
You know, dear, where you go bad
is your coordination.
Now, that is your story, coordination.
This and this and this should
all be parts of the same thing.
If you could possibly lift the needle...
...from that long-playing phonograph
you keep in your face.
Why, the very...
Watch this. Will you excuse me?
You know what you can do
with your gluteal muscle?
Give it away for Christmas.
Say, wait, wait here.
Wait a moment.
Sit down, Mrs. Pemberton,
sit down.
- What will you have to drink?
- Plenty.
- Lemonade?
- Why not?
- Right.
- Strong. Plenty of lemon.
- What do I care?
- All right. Plenty of lemon.
And another thing.
Don't call me Mrs. Pemberton.
- No?
- Pat, that's me.
Okay. I'll call you Pat.
- I want everybody to from now on.
- Why?
Friendless. That's how I feel.
I feel the whole world's against me,
and vice versa.
Did you ever feel that way, Charlie?
Every time I miss a shot.
There you are.
You've been golfing here
for quite a while.
- Quite.
- Then how come I never saw it?
Saw what?
- You're great.
- I must be.
- A natural.
- Fairly seldom.
- What's your handicap?
- My fella.
I mean on the board.
- Six.
- You ought to be two.
- I wish I were a two.
- You know what I'd like to do with you?
Enter you in the Women's National.
- Oh, no.
- Listen, if I don't know a champ...
...when I see one, what good am I?
- Oh, I haven't the time.
- We'll make it.
We'll coach hard the next 15 days.
We'll get out there, you qualify,
you play and you win.
No. I can't play golf.
I can't do anything...
- But what about out there? I saw...
- That was because I got mad. Mad.
- Well, we'll keep you mad.
- No, you see...
...I only play with Collier Weld.
And I can't do anything
when he's watching me.
- Listen, a chance like this...
- Give me Mrs. Beminger's money.
Do you mind, Charlie?
- I thought you wanted to help me.
- I tried to.
To what?
Jam me up with the biggest donor...
- I didn't mean to.
- Pat, I'm trying understand.
How could you,
when I don't myself.
- You don't what?
- Anything. Understand.
Why it is I fall to pieces
whenever you give me that look.
- What look?
- This look.
- That's me?
- Sure.
Makes me feel you don't believe in me
and never will.
- You're just overwrought.
- And you're just overpowering.
- Now, let's not squabble, huh?
- Okay!
I'll see if I can square things
with the Bemingers.
Why try?
Face it, Pat. He's a power.
He's out there screaming
about firing you.
- He couldn't.
- Why not?
- Because I've quit.
- When?
- Right now.
- Oh, no.
- Well, this is no place to talk now.
- Okay, later.
Don't get frazzled, dear.
Don't get frazzled.
Everybody frazzles everybody...
...then they turn around
and tell them, "Don't be. "
What?
That true, Charlie?
What's true?
Scout's honor.
- All right, then.
- Great.
I'll show her.
- Show who?
- Show myself, that's who.
That's right. Because you know how
to not get yourself frazzled?
Get unfrazzled.
Nearly all of the 60 girls
who have entered...
...have turned in their scorecards.
Let me repeat, ladies and gentlemen,
only the 16 best will be eligible...
which begins tomorrow.
Your attention, ladies and gentlemen,
we have another score.
Mrs. Patricia Pemberton
has just qualified with a sparkling 77.
That, ladies and gentlemen,
leaves one contender still to be...
Yes, here she comes now,
the mighty Babe.
We'll have her score for you
in just a second. Here it is now.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the top score of the day.
Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias
has just qualified...
