Miss Froman,

I ain't gonna make no speech.

Well, maybe it ain't

your birthday exactly...

but you're going home tomorrow,

and, before you go...

us guys want to tell you

just one thing.

Well, we want to thank you

for comin'.

It sure meant

a lot to us over here.

Mmm. Anyhow, this is for you.

Thank you.

You read it, Clancy.

a great soldier...

didn't forget us wounded.

Bon voyage.

Speech! Speech!

[Man]

Speech.!

- Don't say. Use your breath and blow these out.

As you all know,

Clancy and l...

we're going home tomorrow.

For the past three months,

we've had the wonderful privilege...

of doing over a hundred

different shows for you men.

But there'll never be

another night like this.

For that reason,

the boys and the girls and myself...

have worked out

a special farewell number.

- Would you like to hear it?

Okay, let's go.

Clancy, catch.

- Sign her up!
