No, I'm not out of my head.

My brother thinks I'm seeing things.

- Would you say hello to him for me?

- Sure.

Hi.

This is Doris Day. Honest, it is.

Well? Oh.

He doesn't even believe you.

He says if you're Doris Day,

you'll have to prove it.

- Do you have to pay for this call?

- San Francisco newspaper pays for them.

Okay.

[SINGING] Come on along and listen

To the lullaby of Broadway

The hip hooray and ballyhoo

The lullaby of Broadway

Convinced?

He says for me to get off the line,

he wants to talk to you.

Hi, Joe.

Wait till they see that in Omaha.

- Thanks, Miss Roman.

- You may call me Ruth.

Okay, Ruth. May I have your autograph,

Miss Wayne?

Sure.

- Do you know Jimmy Cagney?

- Mm-hm.

The quicker

you get this cast off your arm...

...the quicker I'll get

his autograph for you. Deal?

- You bet. Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Nurse.

Oh, nurse.

Hello, can I help?

You can remind that nurse that 1 O

minutes ago, she started to shave me.

She looks pretty busy.

Say, maybe I can give you

the once over lightly.

- Oh, you don't have to, Miss Roman.

- Quiet. I hear you're a big tipper.

Well, how do you like it? Close?

Oh, just as close as possible.

[SINGING]

You, you and you and you

Ought to be in pictures

You're wonderful to see

You ought to be in pictures

Oh, what a hit you would be

Your voice would thrill a nation

Your face would be adored

You'd make a great sensation

With wealth and fame your reward

And if you should kiss

The way you kiss

When we are all alone

You'd make every girl and man a fan

Worshipping at your throne

You ought to shine as brightly

As Jupiter and Mars

You ought to be in pictures

My star of stars

'Cause you do something to me

Something that simply mystifies me

Tell me why should it be

You have the power to hypnotize me

Let me live 'neath your spell

Do do that

voodoo that

You do so well

For you

Do something to me

That nobody else could do

That nobody else could do

- We thank you girls for coming up.

- We loved it.

I don't have to tell you the effect your

visit had on the morale of those boys.

The boys did something

for our morale too.

- Think you could come up again?

- We have to.

We had a ward and six rooms to go

when they called lights out.

- I promised we'd be back.

- How soon?

- Hm. I'm in the middle of a picture.

- Oh, dear, so am I.

Well, I'm not.

As I pass the word around, there'll be

others who'll want to come up with me.

Good.

You do the word-passing tomorrow.

Saturday morning, I'll have a plane at

Lockheed Airport at 9:3O to fly them up.

That's kind of short notice, isn't it?

The Air Force thrives on short notice.

You get them, we'll fly them.

Okay, colonel, we'll get them.

What is this thing

Called love?

This funny thing called love

[SINGING]

Just who can solve its mystery?

Why should it make a fool of me?

I saw you there one wonderful day

You took my heart and threw it away

- That's why I ask the Lord

- That's why I ask the Lord

- In heaven above

- In heaven above

- What is this thing called love?

- What is this thing called love?

And then I saw you there

One wonderful day

You took my heart and threw it away

- That's why I ask the Lord

- That's why I ask the Lord

- In heaven above

- In heaven above

- What is this thing called love?

- What is this thing called love?

Cut.

Very good, kids, very good.

- Okay?

- Fine. Perfect.

- Can I play golf?

- Finish your game and go to brothers.

Okay, thanks. I'll be right back.

- I've gotta see how Ruth is doing.

- You and Gene are in the next shot.

- Okay.

- Fine.

- Got a cigarette, pappy?

- Right.

Look, Mr. Norris, if we have to phone

everybody on the casting directory...

...we're going to load that plane

tomorrow morning.

And I'm not gonna

disappoint the boys.

Because I promised Colonel Callan

we'd be up there.

Oh, Ruth, I wish you'd stop making me

out a heel.

The whole purpose of our committee

is to supply talent for camp shows.

But there's a set procedure for it.

First, they make an official request.

- Then we check it.

NELL:
Mr. Norris.

There isn't time to check it.

We made a promise.

And we intend to keep it.

So in my book,

you still add up to a heel.

Miss Riley, your boss, Louella Parsons,

got me into this.

Get her on the phone

and have her explain the facts of life.

Louella's on their side. And so am I.

And what's more, both of us

wanna be counted in on the trip.

Louella was right when she said

this adds up to a much bigger story...

...than Nell being in love

with a soldier.

- Where did she get that idea?

- Honey, Louella's a reporter.

When a girl in this town

ducks out on her first premiere...

...to say goodbye to a hometown boy,

it must be love.

Oh, I shoulve guessed

there was a romance.

- Congratulations, Nell.

- Thank you.

Nell, now that Mr. Norris

knows the true story...

...see if you can break him down.

I'm waiting for Mr. Norris to say yes.

- Hello, colonel.

- Thought you were shooting today.

Wouldn't do much good.

The cast decided to come.

- It's nice to see you again.

- Nice to see you.

Meet Patrice Wymore.

- How do you do?

- Hello there, so nice to meet you.

Colonel Callan, this is Gordon MacRae.

- How are you, colonel?

- Glad to meet you.

This group is really gonna set

the boys whistling.

Well, the all-girl band was Pat's idea.

- I hope the boys enjoy the show.

- I'm sure they will.

Hey, I think I'll do

a little whistling myself.

You know something?

I might join you.

[BOTH WHISTLE]

[CHUCKLING]

[SINGING]

Listen to my story

About a gal named Liza

- Don't worry about it.
