The Big Broadcast of 1938 Page #3

I'm terribly sorry.

Yeah.

Well, that's that.

Full speed ahead.

Full speed ahead.

Gentlemen, the race is on.

Good luck, sir.

We'll need it. We'll need it?

Ha-ha.

Mr. Bellows absolutely refuses

to let us use the radio power.

What? But we don't stand

a chance without it!

The ship was designed for it.

I know it, gentlemen.

It's Mr. Bellow's ship.

I can only obey orders.

The Colossal will beat us by half

a day. I'm aware of that, sir.

Ladies and gentlemen, I

have a rare treat for you:

a great Mexican

singer, Tito Guizar.

All afternoon, I

tossed and turned,

trying to resist the temptation

to come out here and say,

"What this country needs is a good

five-cent Guizar with a band."

Well, now I've said it...

and I wish I hadn't.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Tito Guizar.

Seor Guizar?

Seor Guizar?

Seor Guizar, don't be mad.

I was only kidding.

Seor Guizar? Seor Guizar?

Ay-ya-ya-ya-yi

Ay-ya-ya-ya-yi la-la-la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la la-la-la

Ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ahhhh ah ah ah

Ahh ahh ahh ahhhh

Don't tell a secret to a rose

I told a secret to a rose

Just one that grew

with those in a garden

That night I saw

my secret love

Smile from her balcony above

And I threw a rose

From the garden

But how on earth

could I suppose

That I would choose

the very rose

That knew my love

for that seorita

On her mantilla

She wore it

Till that rose fell apart

And out dropped

My heart

Thank you very much,

ladies and gentlemen.

Now I like to sing for you a song that

if I have to call it in my own Spanish,

I will say it...

Por besar tus lindos ojos,

yo no s lo que dara.

Eres encantadora, lindsima.

Nada ms ser para ti.

And in English you

call it, "I love you."

When do we turn on the

machinery, Bob? We don't.

Mr. Bellows refuses

to let me go near it.

Say that slow and strap me in.

Bellows can't do that. Yes, he can.

He paid for it. I only invented it.

Fifty thousand dollars!

My bankroll.

- My alimony!

- My rent!

- My poor Buzz. - Oh, my

heart's right up in my mouth.

I hope you don't

chip off any teeth.

If we could use your invention,

do we have a chance to win?

I'm positive, but Mr. Bellows

won't let me get near it.

He doesn't have to know.

- Turn it on without his okay?

- Shh. Not so loud.

Fifty thousand dollars.

If we could just keep

Bellows off the top deck,

keep his mind on something else.

Grace, looks like a job for you.

Why throw me to that beagle-nosed

bugle... bugle-nosed beagle?

Because Mother Nature gave you a little

finger men ache to be wrapped around.

I still don't think...

Darling, he owns this boat.

Owns it? Owns it.

Well, then I'll take some blocks

along for his second childhood.

Look out! Here he comes!

I beg your pardon, dear. You were on the

wrong side; should've blown your horn.

Why don't you look where you're going,

steward? Call me stew for short.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Bellows. I didn't

recognize you in this bad light.

Everybody seems to see

me in a bad light.

Didn't I meet you once at the

chicken show in Cucamonga?

I really don't think so.

You see, I'm a widow.

A widow. Fine people, widows.

Had one of the greatest times

of my life with a widow.

Escorted her through a brewery.

She got all "hopped up" about it.

Malt Brothers Brewing. Would

you do something for me?

Uh-oh. Here it comes. I'm

looking for the bar.

Oh-ha! Come with me!

I know a shortcut.

Chum around with me.

You'll have a laugh on every other

girl on the boat. Or vice versa.

Excuse me, dear. Did

I leave an imprint?

Did you find the trouble yet?

Oh, hello. No, not yet.

That's too bad.

Look what I brought you.

Bless your heart.

Say, where's Bellows?

Don't worry.

Grace has that situation

well under control. Fine.

Sandwiches! Will you have one?

No, thank you.

Mmm! These are swell.

Two.

Two? Mm-hmm.

One... two.

Thank you.

- Pretty?

- Who, me?

No. That song, idiot. Oh. I

haven't heard it before.

You took the words

right out of my heart

And it was like a

bolt from the blue

You took the words

right out of my heart

What's the matter?

There's not enough sugar.

Three? Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

I stood in a daze awhile

For I felt that way too

The moment I saw you smile

I had the words and

you in my heart

There wasn't room

enough for the two

You took the words

right out of my heart

And left only room for you

Bum bum

Do you believe in

love at first sight?

So do I. That is, I mean...

Well, if things weren't...

Oh, you know.

Yeah. I know.

Say, Hayes. Hayes.

How you doin'?

I'm not, thank you.

- Oh, hello, dear.

- Hello.

Say, what gives

out here anyway?

Supper. You want some?

What a time to eat.

If Columbus had

sailed on this boat,

the Indians would

still own America!

Come, darling. You've been

in worse fixes than this.

Yeah, we have, haven't we?

Sure.

We always managed to

wiggle out somehow.

Remember that deputy sheriff

without his pants? Of course.

And the time I... This is no

time to start remembering.

Go on and make

your announcement.

You know, Cleo, we've had

an awful lot of fun.

Yeah! Between fights.

Remind me to ask you sometime how

we happened to get divorced.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it isn't often that I have the

privilege of introducing...

such a distinguished artist

as Madame Kirsten Flagstad,

star of the Metropolitan

Opera Company.

Madame Flagstad has been acclaimed

the world's greatest living soprano.

She will sing an aria from Richard

Wagner's opera, The Valkyrie,

"Brunnhilde's Battle Cry."

Mr. Wilfred Pelletier of the

Metropolitan will conduct.

Hello, hello, hello!

Hello? Hello? I'm not here.

I'm asleep.

Aren't you awake yet?

I don't know.

I haven't looked yet.

Now I am. What's this thing?

Invention. Why don't you

knock before you come in?

Oh! Oh, yes. Certainly.

Come in.

Now I'm out here!

Stay out there. Take a

walk around the deck.

I can't! I'm in the bathroom.

Stay in the bathroom.

I'll bet you won't

bite anybody else.

Whew.

Meet me down at the bar.

We'll drink

breakfast together.

Thought you were on deck. What are

you doing here in the reading room?

Reading. Oh.

Here's some breakfast food.

What, no beer?

You swallowed it! I know it.

I know it.

How are you feeling this morning?

I feel like a June bride.

And how does a June bride feel?

I wonder. I wonder.

That tie shrunk. Have you

been wearing it? No.

- May I come in, sir?

- You are in.

Captain's compliments, sir.

He'd like to see you on the bridge.

We've just received an S.O.S.

from a sinking ship.

and if we go to the rescue,

it may cause us to lose the race.

But Mr. Bellows, how can I go to the

rescue until I know where they are?

First you tell me to do

one thing, then another!

Never mind what I tell you

to do. Do what I tell you.

We can't find their position.

I've got them on radio,

but all they do is argue.

All I can make out

is, "Oh, boy!"

Switch that S.O.S.

call to here.

Help! This is the yacht

Hesperus the Fifth.
