The Big Broadcast of 1938 Page #6

I'm gonna get more umbrellas.

Boy, oh boy!

- Hey!

- I'll be right back.

You think it'll start now?

I don't know. We can try.

Cross your fingers.

- Oh, that's great!

- Oh, Bob!

Although I am a veritable

tyro at the game,

I will make an exception in your

case and make a small wager.

Right, sir. Any amount?

Ah, that's a bet.

Yes, but, uh, how much? Shall

we say a pound? Make it a ton.

Ah, there's too much loft on

that cue. Go ahead. You shoot.

Imagine a man wearing a

roller towel for a hat.

Got a little soap

in your pocket?

Maybe you don't... use soap.

It's all right. Go ahead.

Shoot.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Look here. I think we ought to

toss for it. Oh, very well.

Head or tail? Um, head.

Tail. Your break. But

I didn't see it.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

There. Oh, yes, yes.

Well, you win. Yeah.

Uh, just hold my coat

a minute, will ya?

Thank you. It's my next shot.

Thanks. Go ahead.

Don't put it down. Got some

valuable papers in the pocket.

Go ahead. Shoot.

Very difficult for me.

Yeah. Ah!

Look out there.

Ah! Oh, I seem to have missed.

Yeah, I think you did.

Yes. Now...

And now it's my shot. Don't

shoot yet. Wait a minute.

I haven't finished

shooting yet.

I say, is the ship

rolling slightly,

or am I a little bit Bosky?

Tell me, which pocket

were you aiming for?

Ah, ah, ah. I'll tell

you in a minute.

That's fine. I played them all.

Here you are.

Let me get my cue.

Got a match? No.

Ah, hold that. That's okay.

No, thank you. Chocolate Sauce?

Yes, please.

Where are you?

Just behind you.

Stick around. I don't want you

to say I cheated afterwards.

Wait a minute now.

There she goes.

That's fine. Now then.

What this ship needs

is shorter cues.

Wait a minute. Don't go away.

Don't go away.

Stand right where you are.

Wait a minute.

Okay. Side pocket, maybe.

Wait a minute. I don't

know which side yet.

Lucky shot.

- Ripping. - Often wondered what

that porthole was there for.

Fore! Look out!

Aimed at the chocolate

and got the vanilla.

Here, hold this.

You're doing nothing.

Thank you, beautiful. Why,

you silly old monkey, you.

Huh? Oh, he's all right if

you know how to take him.

Ah, I was afraid you

wouldn't be here.

Bring a wet towel next time.

Keep cool, dear. I'll bring a

wrap out for you in a minute.

I'll be back. Just get another

chair. I'll sit down with you.

Finishing up a game

of billiards here.

Don't put that down there! There are

some very valuable papers in the pocket.

What sort of papers?

Ah, cigarette papers.

Oh. Yeah.

Oop! Ha. Unfortunate.

I say, I wonder what

made it jump out.

I wonder, I wonder. Wouldn't

have been any good anyway.

You forgot to call your shot.

I say, see here.

You're making me look like a bally

clotheshorse. I feel so silly.

You don't look silly. You don't think

I'd trust every Tom, Dick and Harry...

with my valuable papers.

Yeah, but my name's Harry.

Well, I would make an

exception in Harry's case.

It's a draw shot.

Give me that hat. You look like

the two-headed boy in the circus.

Stand clear.

Now what have you done? How do you

expect anyone to play pool...

on a moth-eaten, torn

table like that?

Is there a lawyer on the ship?

Come.

Oh, Scoop, darling. Look at

the moon. Isn't it glorious?

Yeah, it's a right

fair sort of moon.

Ah. A night like this

does things to me.

A night like this? Yes,

it's the magic of it all.

O Romeo, Romeo!

I swear by yon inconstant moon,

whose silvery beams besmears

the lost horizon...

"Besmear the lost

horizon." besmears.

That's what I thought. Oh,

won't you be my Romeo?

Yeah, sure. We will

rehearse the death scene.

What is this strange power

I'd like to have over you?

- Yes, sir?

- Yes, sir? Yes, sir?

I've been kissed by a tunnel.

Well, it's that thing, that...

I just can't help it.

We were fated for each other

And in spite of your

masculine charm

You remind me of my mother

I'm an innocent

babe in your arms

Your lips like wine

Caress me, lover mine

Tonight we live

Little mother

please forgive me

Mama, oh mama

That moon is here again

That boy is near again

and I'm just a girl

Oh mama, dear mama

Oh mama, dear mama

and I'm all alone

Oh mama, hey mama

Don't blame your angel child

Ah, the moon has got me wild

And I'm on my own

Ready or not he

shall be caught

Ho-ho mama, dear mama

I'm only human and

that moon's here again

Mama, oh mama that

moon is here again

That boy is gone again

And I'm all alone

I-I... I'm a sweet kid. Oh!

One, two, three, four

Five, six, seven, eight

My heart is gone

Oh mama, dear mama don't

wait to see me now

I'm glad I took...

Good night, all.

Hello, everybody... and folks.

You. And I do mean you.

First comes our report of the big

race with the S.S. Colossal.

Oh, I forgot. We've stopped

giving those.

Ah, ah, ah. No, we haven't.

This is Buzz Fielding speaking,

and I'm not going to say

anything about the race...

except that we're gaining with

every turn of the turbines.

Oh!

You have something? Oh,

hold your breath, folks.

We...

Say, we've just gained 200

miles on the Colossal.

If we can keep this up, why,

we'll pass her before morning.

Two hundred miles!

Isn't that marvelous?

Boy, I tell you.

Boy, you get a certain satisfaction

when you stick... You gotta...

You g... Oh!

She played her cards right,

and I gave her a diamond tiara.

You know, Mr. Bellows,

there's something awfully big about

you. Oh, thank you. Thank...

Uh, thank you. After you, dear.

Oh, thank you.

The door sticks there.

Stand by to reduce speed. Fog's so thick

you can't see your hand in front of ya.

What's the matter with

your hand? Nothing.

What do you want to look at

it for? Full speed ahead.

As captain of this ship...

You're fired.

You can't discharge me in mid-ocean.

I can kick ya in mid-ocean.

Mr. Bellows! There are icebergs

in these waters and other ships.

We must reduce speed. If you'll
