l want all my money in cash.
l'm nervous.
- What's my name?
- Ted Rogers.
l forgot.
Excuse me, Mr. Sutherland,
but could l use your phone, please?
Certainly.
Thank you. Here.
Thanks.
Hello, operator, would you be good
enough to get me Greenpoint 7-99 70?
Hello, Ma! Hey, Ma, look at me.
l'm in Mr. Sutherland's Revue.
No! No, Ma, l'll keep my clothes on.
And a boy named Bill
- Well, hi.
- Hi. What's all the excitement?
Oh, l... What are you hiding?
What is that?
Oh, it's just a telegram
from C.B. Cochran in London.
He wants me to star
in his new revue,
just in case you think
l'm an old has-been.
Well, you tell Mr. Cochran
to go peddle his papers.
Happy day-after-your-birthday.
Oh, Bill!
This must have cost a fortune!
Well, you know
what everybody says:
''Money isn't everything,
and l'm the guy that keeps proving it.''
You know something?
You've got your arms around a guy
who's gonna star
in Sutherland's Revue.
Really?
Signed, sealed and delivered
this afternoon.
- Ted too?
- Well, sure.
Everywhere l go, Ted goes too.
- l hope so.
- What do you mean, ''l hope so''?
Well, l...
at the Palace
it would've been nice if you'd
given him some kind of recognition.
Look, honey, will you leave the kid
to me? l know how to handle him.
He's happy, l'm happy, you're happy.
We're a big hit.
l guarantee l'll always take care
of the kid.
You promise?
You won't ever treat him like a...
- Like a what?
- You know...
Like a nobody. A stooge.
l promise.
A boy named Mary
And a girl named Bill
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hello, Ted.
Listen, l wanted to
ask you something.
Since the both of you are practically
my mother and my father
and l wouldn't do a thing
without consulting you,
and after we open
and we're a big hit...
After we open and we're a big hit,
and after l'm married,
what should l do,
buy a house or rent an apartment?
Well, whom are you going to marry?
Whom am l going to marry?
l am going to marry
Miss Genevieve Tait.
Frecklehead, that's whom.
Well, l suggest you ask
Miss Frecklehead
whether she'd rather live
in a house or an apartment.
Oh, no, l have to disagree
with you there, Mary,
because l feel it is
the husband's place to decide.
She's gonna live there with you.
She is? l mean, she is.
- That's right.
- Yeah.
- Would you do me a favor, Mary?
- lf l can.
The next time you see Frecklehead,
will you ask her to ask me
to ask her to marry her?
Because l'm gonna ask her.
- Well, l'll do my best.
- Gee, thanks, Mary. Bye.
My best too.
Freckle...
- Frecklehead?
- Yes?
- l wanted to ask you...
- Yes?
Well, l thought that maybe
you and me could...
Yes?
- l mean, if the two of us were...
- Yes?
Here.
How about it?
Not until you ask me.
Would you consider marrying
a fellow who sits up in a box?
Well, what are you bawling about?
Try it on.
Go ahead, try it on.
l'd love to marry you...
...but l gotta tell you something first.
Can't you tell me
after we're married?
No, it's very important.
l think you're a big dope
because you're letting Bill Miller
make a fool of you.
- Wait a minute!
- l won't wait a minute!
He's making a fool of you!
Frecklehead, Bill Miller is my friend.
And besides, whatever we do
is no business of yours!
it's a lot of my business!
Well, wait until
after we're married, then!
OK!
OK!
- Straight ahead, please.
First aisle to the right.
Well, l'm happy, so happy
When you're near
My troubles just disappear
As soon as you're by my side
Well, l'm satisfied
l feel like a feather in the breeze
Having my fun, kissing the sun
And it's because you're the one
So l'm singing
Like the birdies in the trees
And feeling like a feather
Feeling like a feather
Feeling like a feather in the breeze
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
lf there's any song you'd like to hear,
just call it out and l'd be glad
to do it for you.
- ''Just One More Chance''.
- What?
''Just One More Chance'', and l'd like
to hear you play it on that zither.
''Thither''? This isn't a zither.
- No? Then what ith it?
- What ith it?
- Well, thith ithn't a thither.
- Yeth, what ith it?
Thith ith a... Thith ith...
Now he's got me doing it.
This is an ltalian lavaliere.
This is a burden around my neck.
You know what a burden is,
don't you?
Sure. A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush.
Ladies and gentlemen,
l'd like to sing a song...
- Thanks for the warning.
- Hear, hear.
l'll have you know that my aunt gave
me $1 0,000 to cultivate my voice.
Really?
- Just one more chance
- Hey. Hey. Hey!
- To...
- Hey!
- What is it?
- You said your aunt gave you $1 0,000
- to cultivate your voice?
- That's right.
What did you do with the money?
''Just One More Chance''?
Yeah, and l'd like to hear it today.
- You like my playing?
- Sure, cut the cards.
l mean, do you like the music?
Oh, it's fine. All you need now
is a monkey and a tin cup.
Come around tomorrow,
l have the tin cup.
Look, you keep this up
and l'm gonna have you evicted.
- What's the matter?
- You said a dirty word!
l only said ''evicted''.
You said it again!
- You keep this up and l'm gonna...
- Don't you say that word again!
lt only means ''ejected''.
That's dirtier than the other one!
That does it. Usher!
- Get him out of here...
- You're not gonna let me sing?
Why don't you stop it? lf you have
any talent, come on down here.
OK. lt's easier looking
at the audience than at you.
Get off the stage.
l hope you're satisfied with the way
you embarrassed me
in front of everybody.
Lookit, the whole audience
is staring at me.
Stare back at them.
Go on, get off the stage,
and take this with you.
- All right, l'll go.
- Get off.
- But you'll be sorry.
- Get off!
- l'll get even with you.
- Get off the stage!
l don't know how or when,
but l will, boy.
Just one more chance
To prove it's you alone l care for
Each night l say a little prayer for
Just one more chance
l'm busy!
l've learned the meaning
Of repentance
Now you're the jury at my trial
l know that l should serve
My sentence
Still l'm hoping all the while
You'll give me
Just one more word
l said that l was glad
To start out
But now l'm back
To cry my heart out
For just one more chance
Mr. Miller! Mr. Miller! Mr. Miller,
get me down! Help me down!
Mr. Miller! Mr. Miller!
- Just one more chance
- Look what l got for you.
To prove it's you alone l care for
l picked it just for you
out of my garden
Each night l say a little prayer for
Look at all the trouble
l went through to get it
Just one more chance
Just one more night
To taste the kisses that enchant me
- l'd want no others if you'd grant me
- What?
Just one more chance
l've learned the meaning
Of repentance
l'm glad because l spoke
