What do I tell Sam Harris?

The ball took a bad hop?

He'll be delighted.

You and your baseball. Every time

I turn around, you're playing baseball.

- That's for kids. Kid stuff!

- Well, I suppose magic's for grownups.

- What's magic got to do with it?

- Here, pick a card. Pick a card.

Don't let me see which one you take.

Ace of clubs? Right? Correct.

Hooray!

It's not the same thing at all.

We have no regular partnership.

- lf one of us breaks this up, it's okay.

- It's all right with me too.

- Then that's understood!

- Okay!

Okay, okay!

Now, play this thing again.

No, don't play it. Sing it.

Hooray for Captain Spalding

The African explorer

Did someone call me schnorrer?

- Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

- Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!

How do you think it's going, Bert?

Pretty good so far.

- Walk around. See what they're saying.

- Okay.

- Wonderful first act, Mr. Ruby.

- Thank you.

Oh, hello. Hello there.

You don't remember me, do you?

Sure. You...

- The understudy in The Ramblers.

- That's right.

Last time we met,

you were on your way to Hollywood.

How did you make out? All right?

- Pretty well.

- All right. Good.

Bert and I are thinking about going out...

Bert, you remember Miss...

- How do you do?

- Yes. How are you, Mr. Kalmar?

They're figuring on making a movie

out of The Ramblers.

That's wonderful.

You must look me up.

We sure will.

- They're taking our picture.

- Yes.

One more, please.

Thank you.

The show must be okay,

they're taking our picture.

- Well, good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

What do you mean,

taking our picture?

- I don't suppose you know who that is.

- Don't you remember her?

She was the understudy

in The Ramblers. Nice kid.

- You ought to see more movies.

- Why?

Come here, son.

See that sign?

There's your understudy.

She's a movie star?

Oh, she must think I'm crazy.

Wait a minute.

Now, how could anyone

possibly think you're crazy?

Oh, come on.

I love you so much

I can't conceal it

I love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

Yeah, it's all right. It's all right.

- You got any other tunes?

- Let me see.

I got something that'll fit.

Of course, you have to take off one word

to make it "I love you so."

Let's hear it.

I love you so

I can't conceal it

It's a wonder that you don't feel it

I love...

Harry, cut it out, will you? For the last time,

I'm telling you, lay off that tune.

What's the matter with it?

He's been trying to sell it to me

once a week since we met.

I can't help it, Bert.

I can't think of a title.

How can anybody ever think of a title

for that thing?

- Oh, that's a nice title.

- What else can you say?

- Play that other thing.

- You don't like it.

I love it, I'm crazy about it.

Play it, will you?

Who do you think's gonna

be in our picture?

- Who?

- That understudy.

I love you so much

I can't conceal it

I love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

I love you so much

My eyes reveal it

I love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

I've decided that I am through

With all this rambling about

I don't know what I'd ever do

Without you

I'm telling you

I love you so much

I can't conceal it

I love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

- We love you so much

- I don't believe it

We can't conceal it

We love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

- We love you so much

- I can't believe it

Our eyes reveal it

We love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

Now, I've decided that I am through

With all this rambling about

We don't know what we'd ever do

Without you

You're telling me

We love you so much

- I can't believe it

- We can't conceal it

We love you so much

It's a wonder you don't feel it

- Because you love me so

- Because we love you so

Cut! Get a lily.

Print three and four.

- That was very nice, Eileen.

- Thank you.

- Sounded swell, Eileen.

- Thanks.

Don't you ever get tired

of watching this?

Not the way you do it.

You should've been the star

in the Broadway version.

- Oh, I don't know.

- Yes.

- You really think so?

- Sure. She'd have been great.

Why don't you go out

and get a cup of coffee?

- Who wants coffee?

- Coffee's good for you sometimes.

My crazy friend Kendall The Great.

I mean it. How did we happen

to pass you by?

- Well, it's a long story.

- I'm interested.

He's interested.

Well, I tried out for the part.

It was practically all set.

And a fellow brought in another girl.

A very pretty girl.

- He was a songwriter.

- Named Snooky?

- That's right.

- Snooky?

Whoever heard

of a songwriter named...

Snoo... Me?

Oh, you mean that girl l...

You're a magician.

Make me disappear.

I can't forget

The night we met

- It looks lovely, Lennie.

- Thank you.

I'll let you know when to light it

and bring it in.

The moon lit up the sky

And love lit up your eye

I kissed you once

I kissed you twice

And I held you gently

That night upon

The shores of Araby

- All right, so I wrote a lyric once.

- Oh, no, you didn't.

"My Sunny Tennessee"

was a great song.

This is a very happy,

happy anniversary.

Happy days.

- Get our boy here.

- I'm celebrating with my friends.

You know, this is the third time

in my life I've had more than one drink.

- Very interesting.

- Yes, it is. Come here, Charlie.

Very interesting.

- I didn't say anything wrong.

- No, you said nothing at all.

Well, it's a great privilege

to be with you boys tonight.

And I mean that.

- And I can say it in this room.

- It's a nice room.

You fellows have written

lots of songs together.

But more than that,

you've been friends.

That's the most important thing

in the world, are friends.

- Shall I put some bicarbonate in this?

- It wouldn't hurt.

You know, you've got a friend,

and you've got a friend.

And that's what I'd like to see.

Friends.

Very funny.

We'll spot it in our next picture.

- Here.

- Hey, look at that, huh?

Here, drink this.

Hey, I was just thinking.

The time Harry called Tony Miller.

You said, "Mr. Miller,

if you back that play...

...you're gonna be the brokest broker

that ever stepped on Broadway."

- Remember?

- Yeah.

What play was that?

Your play. You wrote it.

And your friend got you out of it.

And we went up to see him.

And when we told you...

...I will never forget

the expression on your face...

...as long as I live.

Believe me, I'll never forget it.

Oh, hey, Bert,

that was a long time ago.

I think I better get some coffee.

Charlie's got the talkers.

Just kidding, huh?

No, I always meant

to tell you about it, Bert...

...but I just never got around to it.

I can understand that.

What was on your mind, Harry,

when you crabbed that deal for me?

- What do you think?

- I'm asking.

Well, I didn't want you to flop.

That play wasn't too good, Bert.

You decided that.

Oh, why not? You're an expert.

Now, wait a minute. You're not gonna

pull a peeve after all these years.
