00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,860
Hail Alma Mater dear, to us be ever

2
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:46,540
near. Hail from thy heart, O bear,
through all

3
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:47,660
the years.

4
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:52,120
Let duty be well performed.

00:02:03,769 --> 00:02:05,730
No, no, no, no, no!

7
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:10,509
No! You have no step unless you get your
leg up. All right, come on, watch.

8
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:12,150
Give me that dice.

9
00:02:13,310 --> 00:02:15,230
Hit it, the last 16 bars. Now watch.

10
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:39,860
What time you got?

11
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:41,060
Ten to three.

12
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,360
Take over, Eve.

13
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Last course.

14
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,700
All right, Walt. Pick up.

15
00:03:06,980 --> 00:03:07,980
Hello, Jerry.

16
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Bix.

17
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Ran out, huh?

18
00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:12,620
Well,

19
00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:17,540
look, give me a $20 parlay from Laughing
Boy and the Seventh to Happy Eve and

20
00:03:17,540 --> 00:03:18,540
the Eighth.

21
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,580
You heel.

22
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:23,480
Can't even pay your hotel bill.

23
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,600
In debt up to your ears and it's horses.

24
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,260
Horses, every second you're awake.

25
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,960
Horses, horses, horses.

26
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:31,260
I don't drink or smoke.

27
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,500
You, Elwyn Bixby, a man of talent. A
genius of Broadway.

28
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,700
The brightest... future of anybody in
show business.

29
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:40,980
Take five, kids.

30
00:03:41,140 --> 00:03:45,580
Had hit after hit, season after season.
Now beating out a time step in this

31
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:47,040
broken Don's saloon.

32
00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:48,480
Take ten, sweetheart.

33
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,840
Take ten?

34
00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:54,660
I've been taking ten ever since I've
known you. Watching you fight your way

35
00:03:54,660 --> 00:03:55,299
the bottom.

36
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:56,340
I don't fight, baby.

37
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:57,580
I'm a lover.

38
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,780
Don't change the subject. You fought
with Ziegfeld, Harris, Hammerstein,

39
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:03,500
Eberhardt. Always battling.

40
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,280
But you know who you're really fighting?

41
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,870
Yourself. Where do we go from here?

42
00:04:08,330 --> 00:04:14,430
We land right on our feet. And when we
do... That tune went off my hit parade

43
00:04:14,430 --> 00:04:15,269
long ago.

44
00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:16,730
Sorry, but here goes the bride.

45
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:17,990
Eve, Eve.

46
00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:20,209
You haven't heard the whole story.

47
00:04:20,529 --> 00:04:21,509
Heard it?

48
00:04:21,510 --> 00:04:23,010
I could put it to music.

49
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:25,370
Meet me at the city hall.

50
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:28,190
This is it. We'll have a honeymoon in
Bermuda.

51
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:29,970
Had to postpone it.

52
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:31,990
Something happened to the money.
Something all...

53
00:04:36,010 --> 00:04:39,330
Answer it. It's probably your bookie
with another sure thing.

54
00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:41,830
Hello.

55
00:04:42,050 --> 00:04:44,450
Bix, old boy, how are you?

56
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:48,470
You know, I've been combing the town for
you. Where you been? How do you feel?

57
00:04:48,810 --> 00:04:51,670
Since when did you start being
interested in the state of my health?

58
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:55,850
Oh, now, Bix, you know I've always been
interested in how you're doing.

59
00:04:56,330 --> 00:05:00,950
Listen, I've got a proposition for you.
Go blow your brains out, you thief.

60
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:08,300
Eberhard? Yes, offered me a job. You
fool.

61
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,220
The only producer in town will give you
a job and you insult him?

62
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:16,400
I wouldn't work for that chiseler if you
put a gun in my back.

63
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:18,000
Well, that does it.

64
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,960
Pick up the phone when you roll out of
bed around two tomorrow afternoon.

65
00:05:22,220 --> 00:05:27,060
Call my two -room cross -ventilated
basement. Ask for Eve. She won't live

66
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:28,300
anymore. Oh, now.

67
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,620
Sit down. Sit down, sweetheart.

68
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:32,840
You're overheated.

69
00:05:34,370 --> 00:05:35,370
I'm leaving.

70
00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:36,890
Yeah, sure, sure.

71
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:41,070
I've been offered a job to do a single
and help stage the dancers at a hotel in

72
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:42,070
Las Vegas.

73
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:43,730
Eve, you can't do that.

74
00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:47,910
You're my feet. You're my memory. I
couldn't work without you. You better

75
00:05:47,910 --> 00:05:48,930
getting used to it.

76
00:05:50,330 --> 00:05:51,330
All right, Eve.

77
00:05:51,450 --> 00:05:53,370
Eve, saddle me.

78
00:05:53,950 --> 00:05:55,310
Word of honor, word of honor.

79
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:56,790
No more horses.

80
00:05:57,770 --> 00:05:58,770
Word of honor?

81
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:00,670
Yeah. You don't know what it means.

82
00:06:01,330 --> 00:06:02,650
Sorry, Bix, I've got to pack.

83
00:06:02,910 --> 00:06:05,150
I'll be up at your place as soon as I
finish here. Won't do any good.

84
00:06:05,630 --> 00:06:08,050
Save yourself the bus fare. You might
need it.

85
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:13,630
You see, Bix, every year at West Point,
the cadets put on a musical, The

86
00:06:13,630 --> 00:06:14,630
Hundredth Night Show.

87
00:06:15,070 --> 00:06:17,990
They call it that because it's a...
Well, it's a kind of a celebration.

88
00:06:18,450 --> 00:06:21,130
The winter's over, only a hundred days
till June.

89
00:06:21,490 --> 00:06:24,790
Well, now, I made a special trip up
there to look over the show. And, you

90
00:06:24,850 --> 00:06:27,810
it's wonderful what those kids have
done. Of course, some of the material is

91
00:06:27,810 --> 00:06:30,330
amateurish, but I've seen a lot worse on
Broadway.

92
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:34,030
Bix, I'm going to help those boys.

93
00:06:34,910 --> 00:06:35,910
That's why I sent for you.

94
00:06:40,030 --> 00:06:41,690
Did you say something?

95
00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:43,390
I didn't say anything.

96
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,150
You know, Bix, you and I have done a lot
of shows together.

97
00:06:47,610 --> 00:06:49,850
I can't think of a man with more on the
ball.

98
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:53,050
That's why I gave you such a big build
-up with those cadets.

99
00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:56,490
Don't you talk to me about West Point.

100
00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:58,490
That is the greatest collection.

101
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,800
Big -headed, salute -happy, station
house characters in any man's army.

102
00:07:03,780 --> 00:07:07,900
I took it for four years in those
muzzles from Camp Dix to the Rhine. And

103
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:09,420
the way, nothing but trouble.

104
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:13,700
And how did they get that way? They have
a special factory up there for putting

105
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,020
square heads into brass hats.

106
00:07:15,460 --> 00:07:16,460
West Point?

107
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Fair. But, Bix, I'm asking this as a
personal favor.

108
00:07:21,060 --> 00:07:22,820
Why should I do you any favors?

109
00:07:29,710 --> 00:07:31,850
I've got a nephew up there, Tom
Fletcher.

110
00:07:32,290 --> 00:07:34,690
The kid's written the music and he's
putting on the show.

111
00:07:35,450 --> 00:07:37,010
He's my only sister's boy.

112
00:07:37,450 --> 00:07:39,430
The kid's dad died when he was three.

113
00:07:40,150 --> 00:07:43,270
There isn't anything in this world I
wouldn't do for that boy.

114
00:07:43,750 --> 00:07:47,130
As a friend, go on up there and whip
that show into shape.

115
00:07:48,470 --> 00:07:52,910
Now, suppose... Suppose you tell me the
real story.

116
00:07:53,550 --> 00:07:55,110
All right.

117
00:07:57,130 --> 00:07:58,790
I've got a big musical for the fall.

118
00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:00,119
Can I put it on?

119
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,380
Not without a leading man.

120
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,760
And where am I going to find a good
-looking guy that can sing?

121
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,760
Don't tell me, don't tell me.

122
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:07,960
West Point. Exactly.

123
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,280
My old nephew, Tom. Oh, a tremendous
voice. Believe me, Bix, and the chump

124
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,120
to be an army officer. Now, what kind of
a career is that?

125
00:08:16,420 --> 00:08:20,500
I tell you, I've tried every angle to
get that kid out of there. Now, come on,

126
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,520
Bix. Go on up there.

127
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:26,540
Give him that stuff. Let that kid get a
taste of applause. Get under his skin.

128
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,320
You can make him listen. He'll make us a
fortune.

129
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,059
Who'll wind up with it?

130
00:08:32,380 --> 00:08:33,380
We will.

131
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,600
Harry,

132
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,140
you got your start robbing a blind man.

133
00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:42,100
For six years, you sat on the broad end
of your back and collected the dough and

134
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,780
took the bows for hits that I made for
you.

135
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,100
Then you fired me and had me blackballed
with every producer in town.

136
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,460
And now, when you need me... Now, wait
just a minute, Pix.

137
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,660
Just one minute. What did you do to me?

138
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:53,900
Do to you.

139
00:08:55,540 --> 00:08:56,419
Jan Wilson?

140
00:08:56,420 --> 00:08:57,500
Yes, Jan Wilson.

141
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,740
You stole her out of my own show, right
from under my very nose.

142
00:09:00,980 --> 00:09:01,759
Stole her?

143
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,100
I found her. Now, Bix, Bix, you stole
her. You signed her to a personal

144
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:07,420
and then sold her to Pictures.

145
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:10,920
Of course I did, to give her a break.
And never even cut me in.

146
00:09:11,540 --> 00:09:12,540
Cut you in?

147
00:09:13,460 --> 00:09:14,460
You chiseler.

148
00:09:15,860 --> 00:09:18,560
You had her buried in the courts. Now,
all right.

149
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:24,120
Let's let bygones be bygones, shall we?
Now, I know that you've been having a

150
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,120
little trouble lately.

151
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,440
So here's my proposition.

152
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,020
I'll give you 5 ,000 as an advance
against 2 % of the gross. If you'll get

153
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:33,620
the... There is no if.

154
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,460
I will not steal your nephew out of West
Point.

155
00:09:37,020 --> 00:09:38,480
Get yourself another boy.

156
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:45,020
Oh, Bix.

157
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,760
Yes? How's Eve? Seen her lately?

158
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:49,040
Yeah, why?

159
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:50,300
Nice girl.

160
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,540
I heard she's been having kind of a hard
time.

161
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:55,630
You know, a friend of mine owns a hotel
in Las Vegas.

162
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:57,470
Oh.

163
00:09:58,450 --> 00:09:59,450
Las Vegas.

164
00:10:00,710 --> 00:10:01,710
Hmm.

165
00:10:03,330 --> 00:10:04,330
Friend of yours.

166
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:06,510
Mm -hmm.

167
00:10:07,230 --> 00:10:09,510
Well, that's throwing them in there
pretty low even for you.

168
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:12,450
5 ,000 against 2 % of the gross if you
deliver that boy.

169
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:18,050
10 ,000. 7 ,500. That should straighten
out a lot of troubles for you and Eve.

170
00:10:19,070 --> 00:10:20,070
Mm -hmm.

171
00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:27,830
You got a deal.

172
00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:46,790
Isn't this wonderful?

173
00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:48,410
Think of this place.

174
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:49,990
It's history. It's tradition.

175
00:10:50,670 --> 00:10:54,070
Think of all the great men who came from
there. General Grant.

176
00:10:54,750 --> 00:10:56,210
Eisenhower. Hershey.

177
00:10:56,450 --> 00:10:57,450
Benedict Arnold.

178
00:10:57,490 --> 00:10:59,510
He tried hard to give this joint to the
British.

179
00:10:59,770 --> 00:11:01,230
I think he should have his case
reviewed.

180
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:03,310
Look at that scenery.

181
00:11:03,930 --> 00:11:05,050
Those buildings.

182
00:11:05,990 --> 00:11:07,030
Alcatraz on the Hudson.

183
00:11:07,430 --> 00:11:08,670
And get a load of this weather.

184
00:11:09,330 --> 00:11:12,830
Cold enough to freeze the medals of a
brass general. Oh, Big, stop the thing.

185
00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:20,890
Say, buddy, how do we get to the Army
Theater?

186
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,200
To reach your objective, I recommend you
proceed through that entryway between

187
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,520
the West Academic Building and First
Division Barracks. Walk west on

188
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,960
Road past their monument opposite
Washington Hall.

189
00:11:30,220 --> 00:11:31,540
That, sir, is our Cadet Mess Hall.

190
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,260
Turn left on Scott Place.

191
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,060
Proceed until you approach a large
yellow brick building. That's our

192
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:40,240
sir. Proceed to the northeast corner of
that building where you will see nine

193
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,320
doors. Enter any of these doors. Proceed
to the second floor.

194
00:11:43,540 --> 00:11:44,920
There you will find the Army Theater.

195
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,580
Couldn't you just point?

196
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,200
That way, sir.

197
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,940
Thanks. Pardon me.

198
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,700
Are all those men walking just for the
exercise?

199
00:11:58,340 --> 00:12:00,960
No, ma 'am. They're walking punishment
chores. They broke some rules or

200
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,200
regulations. See that?

201
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Wasting shoe leather. Who pays for it?

202
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,440
Taxpayers. Me.

203
00:12:05,620 --> 00:12:08,600
Taxpayers? You wouldn't know a tax
return from a racing form.

204
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:10,300
Wait for your laugh.

205
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Where do you think you were going?

206
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,300
Extra instruction, sir.

207
00:12:14,580 --> 00:12:17,180
Friends, sir. Don't you know that even
when you're late for extra instruction,

208
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,880
you don't use diagonal walk? That's
reserved for upperclassmen.

209
00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:24,230
Yes, sir. Now, mister, I'm going to make
a soldier out of you from the top of

210
00:12:24,230 --> 00:12:27,750
your head to the tip of your toes. The
first thing, put that hat on properly.

211
00:12:30,290 --> 00:12:31,950
Pull in that chin. Lots of wrinkles.

212
00:12:32,530 --> 00:12:34,630
Get those slimy green eyes off me.

213
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:40,730
Now let's see you pop that chest up.
Touch my hand. You heard me. Pop up that

214
00:12:40,730 --> 00:12:41,730
chest.

215
00:12:42,390 --> 00:12:46,670
Suck up that horrible gut. You can't run
around with that monster's stomach

216
00:12:46,670 --> 00:12:47,670
dragging on the pavement.

217
00:12:47,830 --> 00:12:48,950
Get those knees together.

218
00:12:49,470 --> 00:12:52,750
Report to my room, 1423, immediately
after extra instruction. Got that?

219
00:12:53,650 --> 00:12:54,650
Drive on.

220
00:12:57,850 --> 00:12:58,850
Pop up that chest!

221
00:12:59,010 --> 00:13:00,010
Touch my hand!

222
00:13:01,810 --> 00:13:02,950
You don't have to break at all.

223
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:12,250
If you don't like this place and you
don't like Eberhardt, why did you get on

224
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:16,910
that train at 125th Street, drag me off
and sell me a bill of goods about coming

225
00:13:16,910 --> 00:13:19,930
up here to do an amateur show? Just for
you, sweetheart. Just for you.

226
00:13:41,930 --> 00:13:47,870
First class men wait for the thens to
come with all the joys they bring.

227
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:54,910
So join us and sing 100 days till

228
00:13:54,910 --> 00:14:01,650
June. June will come soon, lieutenants,
we

229
00:14:01,650 --> 00:14:04,350
will be with a show.

230
00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:39,220
Is that coming out of him?

231
00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:42,770
Mr. Bixby?

232
00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:45,110
Yes. I'm Colonel Martin. Glad to see
you.

233
00:14:45,710 --> 00:14:47,610
Mr. Everhart's told me so much about
you.

234
00:14:47,890 --> 00:14:50,230
Welcome to West Point. Thank you. This
is Eve Dillon, my assistant.

235
00:14:50,450 --> 00:14:51,490
How do you do? How do you do, Mr.
Dillon?

236
00:14:53,190 --> 00:14:54,190
Oh, Mr. Fletcher.

237
00:14:54,370 --> 00:14:55,370
Sir?

238
00:14:59,290 --> 00:15:00,290
Mr. Bixby.

239
00:15:00,490 --> 00:15:02,310
Fletcher. My uncle phoned me. You were
coming, sir.

240
00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:04,570
This is Colonel Martin, our faculty
advisor.

241
00:15:04,890 --> 00:15:07,310
Met the Colonel. Delighted. Al Cortland.
How do you do, sir?

242
00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:08,910
Eve Dillon, my assistant.

243
00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:10,430
How do you do? How do you do, Miss
Dillon?

244
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:17,410
This is Bo Gilbert, sir.

245
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:19,030
He's our princess in the show.

246
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:22,050
Hmm. Too bad you couldn't find a big
one.

247
00:15:24,210 --> 00:15:30,670
Honey blonde, redhead, ash blonde,
strawberry blonde, auburn, brownette.

248
00:15:31,270 --> 00:15:32,290
Somebody can't spell.

249
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:33,930
Blonde, brunette.

250
00:15:34,630 --> 00:15:37,570
Now, these characters with the signs on,
what are they?

251
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:39,070
A chorus girl, sir.

252
00:15:40,290 --> 00:15:41,290
No women in the show?

253
00:15:41,470 --> 00:15:45,820
This isn't Broadway, Mr. Bixby. This is
West Point. You see, sir, All our girls

254
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:46,639
are men.

255
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,660
But everyone's a lady.

256
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,439
Uh -huh.

257
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,440
That makes it cozy.

258
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,940
That's something Rodgers and Hammerstein
never thought of. A musical show

259
00:15:52,940 --> 00:15:53,940
without women.

260
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,580
We were about to do one of our numbers,
sir.

261
00:15:55,860 --> 00:15:56,920
Suppose we do it for you.

262
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,160
That'd be fine.

263
00:15:58,620 --> 00:16:02,680
Now, you'll have to imagine that this is
Flirtation Walk, and that chair is the

264
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,580
Kissing Rock. Uh -huh. The bull here is
the Princess.

265
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,340
Uh -huh. This is Flirtation Walk, that's
the Kissing Rock, and this is the

266
00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:10,340
Princess.

267
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:21,100
You've been kissed, I know, in the very
last row when the love scene is on at

268
00:16:21,100 --> 00:16:22,240
the movie show.

269
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:29,260
But wait until tonight and you'll be
kissed right by the kissing rock.

270
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:36,620
It's a lovely spot and believe it or
not, if you'll just care a little,

271
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:41,580
care a lot. So let's dispense with talk
and take a little walk.

272
00:16:41,930 --> 00:16:44,650
by the kissing rock.

273
00:16:45,470 --> 00:16:49,410
A girl once refused to kiss a lad.

274
00:16:49,750 --> 00:16:52,550
The lad was a man of honor.

275
00:16:53,230 --> 00:16:56,990
He warned her she'd make the rock real
mad.

276
00:16:57,190 --> 00:17:00,290
And the legend is the rock fell upon
her.

277
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560
That was years ago, and it must have
been so.

278
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,619
Cause from that day to this, not a girl
said no. And that's the story of whoever

279
00:17:10,619 --> 00:17:14,900
falls in love by the kissing rock.

280
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:20,420
How did you like it, sir?

281
00:17:21,940 --> 00:17:24,060
Um, wooden hiss and a wooden cheer.

282
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:25,760
Got a copy of the lyrics?

283
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Right here, sir.

284
00:17:28,190 --> 00:17:30,830
Colonel, you mind if I roll up my
sleeves and go to work? No, that's all.

285
00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:31,409
right ahead.

286
00:17:31,410 --> 00:17:32,069
Thank you, Colonel.

287
00:17:32,070 --> 00:17:33,430
Tom, would you come down here where you
can be seen?

288
00:17:33,630 --> 00:17:34,630
Yes, sir.

289
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:39,810
Look, son, don't give it everything you
have in the first eight bars. Don't belt

290
00:17:39,810 --> 00:17:42,750
it at them like this, uh, you've been
kissed. I know.

291
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:44,990
No, it's no good.

292
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:47,290
Singing a song is like, oh, like a horse
race.

293
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:49,730
You don't ride a horse from wire to
wire. You rate him.

294
00:17:49,930 --> 00:17:53,330
Now, rule one, rule one, like your
audience.

295
00:17:53,690 --> 00:17:56,410
They're all nice people. They bought
tickets. They've come to hear your

296
00:17:56,830 --> 00:18:01,910
Tell it to them simply, sweetly, warmly.
You like them, and they like you. Hit

297
00:18:01,910 --> 00:18:02,910
it.

298
00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:13,130
You've been kissed, I know, in the very
last row when the love scene is on at

299
00:18:13,130 --> 00:18:18,590
the movie show. But wait until tonight,
and you'll be caught right by the

300
00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:20,510
kissing rod.

301
00:18:21,690 --> 00:18:27,960
It's a lovely spot, and believe it or
not, If you just care a little, you'll

302
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,500
care a lot. So let's dispense with talk.

303
00:18:30,780 --> 00:18:35,120
And take a little walk by the kissing
rock.

304
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,480
A girl once refused to kiss the lad.

305
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,780
And the lad was a man of honor.

306
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,020
You'd know. He warned her she'd make the
rock real mad.

307
00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:50,280
And the legend is the rock... Fell upon
her.

308
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,380
That was years ago, and it must have
been so.

309
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:58,180
Cause from that day to this, not a girl
said no.

310
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:04,900
And that's the story of whoever falls in
love by the kissing rock.

311
00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:40,420
Ma 'am.

312
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:43,060
Well, there's an idea.

313
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,840
That was great, sir. I could have done
it better with two legs.

314
00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:47,880
Now, look, we'll open in one, go to full
stage.

315
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,580
Now, uh, well, bring on the rest of your
dads and we'll see what we've got.

316
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,720
Well, I'm afraid we won't have any more
time today, sir. No more time?

317
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,280
I want to hear the rest of your score.

318
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:59,160
You see, we have to spoon up for mess or
we'll get slugged.

319
00:19:59,660 --> 00:20:03,180
But if you meet us tomorrow at the
Boudlis at 1600, why, we can have a

320
00:20:03,260 --> 00:20:04,260
Cherry phosphate.

321
00:20:04,380 --> 00:20:05,840
We'll play the whole score for you then.

322
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,680
See you tomorrow, sir.

323
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,340
Did I hear him right?

324
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:16,660
Let me translate. He means they won't be
off again until tomorrow at four.

325
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,000
Fletcher and his roommate can meet you
then at the Boodler's. Right now,

326
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,200
got to stand formation for supper.

327
00:20:21,740 --> 00:20:24,240
Well, whoever heard of breaking into the
middle of rehearsals for supper?

328
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,780
West Point, Mr. Bixby. Rules and
regulations.

329
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:28,700
Oh, rules and regulations.

330
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:31,220
Well, they'll have to take a tuck in the
rules and regulations.

331
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:33,380
Make a note of that, Eve.

332
00:20:44,170 --> 00:20:51,070
Long before I knew you, I

333
00:20:51,070 --> 00:20:55,590
knew you'd be as you are.

334
00:20:57,530 --> 00:21:00,250
How did I know?

335
00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:03,450
Don't ask me to explain.

336
00:21:03,950 --> 00:21:10,570
Do you suppose the budding rose would
question summer rain?

337
00:21:13,290 --> 00:21:19,830
Let me write to you Or was it

338
00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:26,810
my lucky star I don't know

339
00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:33,290
if you Believe the dream has come true
But long before

340
00:21:33,290 --> 00:21:34,690
I kissed you

341
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,160
We have a show, sir? Well, we've got a
few good jokes, a few good songs, but a

342
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,580
show? I don't know. It's going to be a
lot of hard work.

343
00:21:50,060 --> 00:21:51,840
Hal? Yes, sir? Like your dancing.

344
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:54,700
Nice style. Thank you, sir. Don't let
the army flatten out those arches.

345
00:21:55,420 --> 00:21:58,440
And boy, you've got a lot of voice. A
lot of voice. I'd like to talk to you

346
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,159
about it sometime.

347
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,300
Good jokes, good songs. You boys are the
material yourselves, huh? Yes, sir. Hal

348
00:22:02,300 --> 00:22:02,799
and I.

349
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,980
What happens to this show when it closes
here?

350
00:22:05,380 --> 00:22:07,000
Nothing. Well, they put it in the
archives.

351
00:22:07,340 --> 00:22:09,340
Well, uh, any chance of a fellow getting
it?

352
00:22:09,580 --> 00:22:10,800
Not a chance. It's West Point property.

353
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,939
How about buying it?

354
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:12,960
It's not for sale, sir.

355
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,460
Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to have to call
time on you again.

356
00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:16,760
First call for supper.

357
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,919
More supper.

358
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,900
Look, why don't you guys at the
gymnasium promptly at 4 o 'clock

359
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:23,320
'clock. In the army, sir. It's 1600.

360
00:22:24,340 --> 00:22:27,220
1600, 1650. I won't give you a cent
more.

361
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,740
Be there at 4 o 'clock.

362
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,680
Bix, after reading this book and hearing
this score, I think these kids have

363
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,680
really got something.

364
00:22:35,540 --> 00:22:36,980
You know, this story is charming.

365
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,540
A Brooklyn G .I. in Europe falling in
love with a girl who turns out to be a

366
00:22:41,540 --> 00:22:42,540
royal princess.

367
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Romantic, isn't it?

368
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Sets me on fire. And that fool Gilbert
is such a fascinating wench.

369
00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:52,960
Then the princess comes to America, to
West Point, to see her G .I., who is now

370
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,799
a cadet.

371
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,880
But because she's a princess and he's a
commoner, the romance gets the cadet

372
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,799
into trouble.

373
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,060
However, being royalty, she asks for
amnesty and gets it.

374
00:23:03,380 --> 00:23:04,500
Right out on the stage?

375
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,040
Amnesty means a pardon.

376
00:23:07,380 --> 00:23:08,380
No.

377
00:23:08,909 --> 00:23:12,830
Then she gives up being a princess,
moves to Brooklyn with her G .I., and

378
00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:14,030
happily ever after.

379
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:15,470
Cute?

380
00:23:15,690 --> 00:23:18,030
If you ask me, the whole plot needs
amnesty.

381
00:23:18,850 --> 00:23:22,010
She gets him out of trouble because
she's a princess. What kind of a gimmick

382
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:23,110
that? Nobody's going to believe it.

383
00:23:23,330 --> 00:23:26,570
The tunes are good, and that boy Tom,
Tom's great.

384
00:23:26,890 --> 00:23:29,510
That Gilbert is a cute hunk of cadet,
but he's no princess.

385
00:23:30,210 --> 00:23:34,430
Why not use a real girl, a local, a
daughter of one of the officers maybe to

386
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:35,430
play the part?

387
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,520
There are to be no females in this show.

388
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,800
One woman couldn't hurt.

389
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,100
That's what Adam said, Eve.

390
00:23:53,620 --> 00:23:55,500
No, no, no, no, no!

391
00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:57,120
No!

392
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:59,080
How many times do you guys have to be
told?

393
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,700
This is a march tempo.

394
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,520
Don't you guys know how to march?

395
00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:04,420
All right, come on, give me a pick -up.

396
00:24:14,700 --> 00:24:15,700
Once more.

397
00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:16,740
Hit it.

398
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:35,560
I'm sorry we were late, sir.

399
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,340
Well, it's about time you criminalists
got here.

400
00:24:37,580 --> 00:24:38,580
What's the excuse now?

401
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,280
I had lacrosse practice. Tried to get
here early. I had some mathematics.

402
00:24:41,790 --> 00:24:44,910
I was attending intercollegiate student
forum on geopolitics, sir. Oh. You see,

403
00:24:44,970 --> 00:24:46,810
sir, we... Don't sir me. I'm a civilian.

404
00:24:47,230 --> 00:24:49,190
Now, how about you, Princess? Where were
you, in the beauty parlor?

405
00:24:49,410 --> 00:24:52,610
Well, I had a problem in fluid
mechanics, sir. The 300 -ohm resistors

406
00:24:52,610 --> 00:24:54,450
Venturi tubes would give me an awful lot
of trouble.

407
00:24:55,010 --> 00:24:56,010
That's a new one.

408
00:24:56,210 --> 00:24:59,290
Mr. Bixby, I'd like to explain, sir. You
see, we have to do this show in our

409
00:24:59,290 --> 00:25:00,249
spare time.

410
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:03,530
Rules and regulations, you know. Rules
and regulations. All I want to do is get

411
00:25:03,530 --> 00:25:04,890
a show on and get out of here.

412
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:06,750
All right, girls, places.

413
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:45,220
Punishment tour, studying for a quiz,
lacrosse, venturi tubes.

414
00:25:45,540 --> 00:25:47,980
I've heard a great deal about the
discipline in this joint.

415
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,280
You're supposed to be famous for it.

416
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:53,440
Well, I haven't seen a sign of it in
connection with this show.

417
00:25:54,100 --> 00:25:57,860
There's more discipline in a broken
-down burlesque troupe than you have up

418
00:25:57,860 --> 00:26:02,520
with all your salutes, your yesers, your
nosers, your fancy uniforms and

419
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,520
parades.

420
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,600
Discipline in the theater means being on
time, getting the job done.

421
00:26:08,659 --> 00:26:11,240
Rehearsal is called for 2 o 'clock. It's
not 2 -1 or 2 -2.

422
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,280
If an actor is late, he apologizes to
the entire company.

423
00:26:14,620 --> 00:26:16,680
If he's late a second time, he's fired.

424
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:21,220
Now, two of you men have taken the
trouble to put together a good show.

425
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:23,440
A show worthy of Broadway.

426
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,580
Well, if it's worth doing at all, it's
worth doing well.

427
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:31,840
And if it weren't, I wouldn't have
stayed here 24 hours.

428
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:34,600
So from here in...

429
00:26:35,219 --> 00:26:37,960
Punishment tours can wait. Studies can
wait. Lacrosse can wait.

430
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,140
And we'll throw out some rules and
regulations.

431
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:42,760
Rehearsal is called. You'll be on time.

432
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,120
You'll know your words and you'll know
your routines.

433
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,880
You're going to work harder than you've
ever worked since you came here. I'll

434
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,960
show you what discipline is.

435
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,640
Because I don't like this brass hat
factory and I never expect to like it.

436
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,600
Tell him not to go away mad. Just go
away.

437
00:27:00,020 --> 00:27:01,160
Quiet! Quiet!

438
00:27:01,940 --> 00:27:04,360
The next guy that opens his fist, he
gets thrown out of the theater.

439
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:05,999
That's final.

440
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,620
That goes for each and every one of you.

441
00:27:07,820 --> 00:27:09,120
Is he always this violent?

442
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:10,700
The army did it to him.

443
00:27:11,060 --> 00:27:15,180
It started when he asked for a size 8
shoe, and they gave him a 12.

444
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:17,480
Never been the same since.

445
00:27:18,420 --> 00:27:22,700
Catch me on this. And Princess, you and
the rest of the girls watch.

446
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:39,990
We'll take that again.

447
00:27:56,810 --> 00:27:57,810
See what I mean?

448
00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:59,710
Discipline!

449
00:28:01,530 --> 00:28:05,590
Gentlemen, this conduct of Mr. Bixby's
cannot be tolerated. But, sir...

450
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,420
The men don't seem to feel it's entirely
Mr. Bixby's fault.

451
00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:14,380
It takes time for an outsider to get to
know West Point. That I can understand,

452
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,560
but this request is very unusual.

453
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:19,140
Unusual, yes, Colonel, but not without
precedent.

454
00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:21,780
George M. Cohan did it to get material
for a play.

455
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,240
Damon Runyon for some newspaper stories.
Gentlemen, I'd like to read you some

456
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,260
excerpts from Mr.

457
00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:29,120
Bixby's record in the Army.

458
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,200
During four years of active service,
Elwyn Bixby fought two wars, one against

459
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,300
the enemy and one against the army.

460
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,720
He griped from Reveille to Taps. He was
insubordinate to all ranks, and he went

461
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,980
AWOL so many times it was impossible to
keep count.

462
00:28:48,780 --> 00:28:53,280
In Africa, he sold a B -17 to an Arab
for a crate of eggs.

463
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:58,520
He swiped mattress covers and
pillowcases from QM Supplies and sold

464
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,720
Arabs for Sunday suits.

465
00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:05,590
And after being missing for two weeks,
he was found in residence in a harem.

466
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:08,370
This was quite a man.

467
00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:13,290
He was ordered court -martialed five
times, always bluffed his way out.

468
00:29:15,450 --> 00:29:19,490
But his courage was incredible. In
Italy, he saved his company from being

469
00:29:19,490 --> 00:29:21,250
trapped by superior enemy forces.

470
00:29:21,570 --> 00:29:25,750
In France, when action became dull, he
went AWOL and joined the French

471
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:26,750
underground.

472
00:29:26,910 --> 00:29:28,210
He was wounded twice.

473
00:29:28,910 --> 00:29:32,870
He was awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Silver Star, and the Medal

474
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:33,870
Militaire.

475
00:29:34,650 --> 00:29:38,970
He was finally promoted to the rank of
sergeant, but for an infraction of a

476
00:29:38,970 --> 00:29:41,990
was broken back to private on the day of
his discharge.

477
00:29:43,170 --> 00:29:44,870
A very interesting career.

478
00:29:49,710 --> 00:29:51,690
You're at the United States Military
Academy.

479
00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:55,230
You take a sock at a cadet, and you're
taking a sock at the United States

480
00:29:55,230 --> 00:29:56,230
government.

481
00:29:56,550 --> 00:29:57,990
Now you're barred from the post.

482
00:29:59,050 --> 00:30:00,050
Come in.

483
00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:01,910
Ah.

484
00:30:03,990 --> 00:30:06,670
I have news for you. What did they say?

485
00:30:06,890 --> 00:30:08,070
Are they going to let him stay?

486
00:30:08,310 --> 00:30:09,310
That depends.

487
00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:12,570
They took the case to the Commandant's
office.

488
00:30:13,210 --> 00:30:19,210
He was pretty reasonable about it. He
realizes that Punch Happy over there

489
00:30:19,210 --> 00:30:21,690
the first civilian to come up here with
a chip on his shoulder.

490
00:30:22,270 --> 00:30:25,410
And he's willing to give Bix another
chance.

491
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:30,110
Well, they figure if Bix got to know
them better, he might get to like them

492
00:30:30,110 --> 00:30:32,610
better. Who wants to like them better?

493
00:30:34,390 --> 00:30:37,310
You see, Harry, it's no use. That ham...
Shut up!

494
00:30:37,550 --> 00:30:38,930
Yeah, what else now?

495
00:30:39,530 --> 00:30:42,250
Well, on one condition would they allow
him to stay.

496
00:30:43,090 --> 00:30:45,810
They have invited him to become one of
them.

497
00:30:46,090 --> 00:30:47,550
I told them he'd do it.

498
00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:48,930
You told them what?

499
00:30:49,330 --> 00:30:52,770
I accepted their invitation for you to
become a cadet.

500
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:54,350
You what?

501
00:30:55,090 --> 00:30:56,090
You heard me.

502
00:30:56,730 --> 00:31:00,490
And I just accepted an invitation for
you to go over Niagara Falls in a

503
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:01,750
Now, who goes first?

504
00:31:02,350 --> 00:31:05,490
Eve, darling, you're wonderful. I love
you. Look, Bix, this is great.

505
00:31:05,690 --> 00:31:07,630
You move right in. You become one of
them.

506
00:31:07,910 --> 00:31:11,650
You go to work on the boy. The boy
discovers what he's got, what we can do

507
00:31:11,650 --> 00:31:12,850
him. Work on what boy?

508
00:31:13,090 --> 00:31:17,510
What? Oh, well, you know, Hal and Tom.

509
00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:19,530
You know, to make them good in the show.

510
00:31:19,850 --> 00:31:22,090
Oh, Bix, you'll become a cadet. What do
you say?

511
00:31:22,650 --> 00:31:23,650
What do I say?

512
00:31:26,379 --> 00:31:28,660
No! No, he says, always.

513
00:31:29,500 --> 00:31:31,340
Oh, Eve, why do you put up with him?

514
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,260
Harry, you think that job in Las Vegas
is still open? If it isn't, I'll open

515
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:40,720
Stop off if you're passing through Las
Vegas.

516
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:44,180
I'll put in a good word for you if they
need an extra busboy.

517
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:46,900
Now, Eve, hey!

518
00:31:49,020 --> 00:31:50,020
Las Vegas.

519
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,480
You, uh...

520
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,240
You reached way out into the left field
for that one, didn't you?

521
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,820
And now, now I should become a West
Point cadet.

522
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,680
I think it's a great idea.

523
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:03,040
Really, a great idea.

524
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:10,960
We still got a deal.

525
00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:04,679
Bixby! Reveille!

526
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,500
Cut it out. Cut it out. Cut it out.

527
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,620
Reveille, Bix, you have to be in
formation by the two -minute bell.

528
00:33:09,860 --> 00:33:12,380
Oh, the middle of the night.

529
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:22,700
Out of the sack, Mr. Dump John. You
don't sleep all day around here.

530
00:33:22,980 --> 00:33:24,800
Close your window.

531
00:33:25,260 --> 00:33:26,260
This way.

532
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,320
Come on, mister, move.

533
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,740
This is your GX1.

534
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,900
a tail gunner, Mr. Dewey?

535
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:07,860
About pace.

536
00:34:09,340 --> 00:34:10,420
About pace.

537
00:34:13,699 --> 00:34:15,100
Now let me see you function.

538
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,620
Put a brace on those shoulders, Mr.
Dewey.

539
00:34:18,580 --> 00:34:20,100
Stretch up from the top of the head.

540
00:34:21,020 --> 00:34:22,020
Touch my hand.

541
00:34:23,580 --> 00:34:24,580
Break forward.

542
00:34:25,820 --> 00:34:26,820
Pull in that chin.

543
00:34:27,219 --> 00:34:28,340
More. More.

544
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,060
Why can't you pull in that chin?

545
00:34:32,659 --> 00:34:33,679
Don't taste nice.

546
00:34:34,110 --> 00:34:36,909
Don't answer me. Now look military, Mr.
Dumb John.

547
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:38,250
Suck up that gut.

548
00:34:38,929 --> 00:34:41,170
Pop that chest up in the air. Lift it
up.

549
00:34:41,670 --> 00:34:42,670
Lift it up.

550
00:34:44,090 --> 00:34:45,090
Straighten that cap.

551
00:34:49,830 --> 00:34:51,409
You were instructed to get a haircut.

552
00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:54,670
See that it's done. Report to my
quarters after recall.

553
00:35:02,670 --> 00:35:04,130
Do you keep those clippers on the ice?

554
00:35:07,890 --> 00:35:09,890
It's all part of a plebe's life, Bix.

555
00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:13,410
Anyhow, it'll all be over when the
upperclassmen shake your hand and

556
00:35:13,410 --> 00:35:16,470
you. Now, how many lights in Cullum
Hall?

557
00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:19,750
340, sir. Next, how many gallons in Lusk
Reservoir?

558
00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:23,170
92 and 210 million gallons, sir, when
the water's flowing over the spillway.

559
00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:24,350
What do plebes rank?

560
00:35:24,690 --> 00:35:28,610
The plebes rank the Commandant's dog,
the Superintendent's cat, the Hellcats,

561
00:35:28,690 --> 00:35:30,450
and all the admirals in the Cockhide
Navy.

562
00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:37,790
12 o 'clock boy in a 9 o 'clock town.
That's me.

563
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:42,750
Say, there's another thing I don't like
about this place.

564
00:35:43,070 --> 00:35:44,950
Too much buttoning and unbuttoning.

565
00:35:45,250 --> 00:35:46,990
All right, 641. All right, sir.

566
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:49,730
All right, 642.

567
00:35:50,170 --> 00:35:51,170
All right, sir.

568
00:35:51,670 --> 00:35:55,130
Hey. All right, 643. Everybody in a rut
around here.

569
00:35:55,990 --> 00:35:58,010
What is this all right business?

570
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,190
Oh, it's a bed check. When you answer
all right, that means everyone's present

571
00:36:01,190 --> 00:36:02,049
in this room.

572
00:36:02,050 --> 00:36:03,290
They take your word for it?

573
00:36:03,890 --> 00:36:06,260
Certainly. West Point, your word is your
honor.

574
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,460
Now, the definition of leather, they'll
be sure to ask you that one. And put

575
00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:13,460
some soul in it.

576
00:36:13,620 --> 00:36:15,200
The definition of leather.

577
00:36:15,620 --> 00:36:17,680
And put some soul into it. Right.

578
00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:23,640
If the fresh skin of an animal, cleaned
and divested of all hairs, fat, and

579
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,880
other extraneous matter, be immersed in
a dilute solution of tannic acid, a

580
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,420
chemical compound ensues.

581
00:36:30,170 --> 00:36:33,330
The gelatinous tissue of the skin is
converted into a non -putrescible

582
00:36:33,330 --> 00:36:36,610
substance, impervious to and insoluble
in water.

583
00:36:36,870 --> 00:36:38,630
This, sir, is leather.

584
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,100
Beautifully done, Hal. Beautifully done.

585
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:57,620
Only one thing wrong.

586
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,120
Not enough straw hats.

587
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,240
Potter.

588
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,320
For although I am a princess, I shall be
happy to marry you. Let's hear it.

589
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,540
Let's hear it. Come on.

590
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,240
Oh, Bix, this whole business will follow
me around for the rest of my life. I

591
00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:14,240
can't say that.

592
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:15,360
Put a star on it, understand?

593
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:16,979
Yes, sir.

594
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:21,320
You are a princess. A princess. And he's
a G .I. You met in Europe and fell in

595
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,040
love. Why, I don't know. Don't know.

596
00:39:23,380 --> 00:39:25,360
But he's asked you to marry him and go
and live in Brooklyn.

597
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,618
You hear?

598
00:39:26,620 --> 00:39:27,800
Now, get up.

599
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,520
Suck up that royal gut.

600
00:39:31,700 --> 00:39:33,320
Extend that lovely little pinky.

601
00:39:34,580 --> 00:39:38,120
Attaboy. Now give us a lovely, lovely
smile with those pearly white teeth.

602
00:39:40,820 --> 00:39:42,720
You're a doll, a doll.

603
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,880
All right, from the beginning, I want to
talk to you, Tom.

604
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,720
Why, Hal, that's sweet of you to ask me.

605
00:39:48,940 --> 00:39:50,160
I'd love to.

606
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,680
Doing a little research, doll face?

607
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,120
Look, son, I've been wanting to talk to
you for some time.

608
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,339
Yes, sir?

609
00:39:57,340 --> 00:39:58,440
Talk about your future.

610
00:39:58,660 --> 00:40:00,620
I think you should give it careful
consideration.

611
00:40:01,310 --> 00:40:03,490
It's just something that you don't, you
know, pass over life.

612
00:40:14,690 --> 00:40:17,250
What I want to know is, what are you
going to do with that voice of yours?

613
00:40:17,690 --> 00:40:18,850
Sing the regiment to sleep?

614
00:40:19,810 --> 00:40:20,810
What do you mean?

615
00:40:20,850 --> 00:40:23,970
You're carrying around an annuity in
your throat. Why don't you cash in on

616
00:40:24,050 --> 00:40:25,050
Go into show business.

617
00:40:26,130 --> 00:40:27,530
My uncle been talking to you?

618
00:40:28,930 --> 00:40:29,930
Only from the floor.

619
00:40:30,130 --> 00:40:31,068
Look, son.

620
00:40:31,069 --> 00:40:34,110
I've been working with talent all my
life. And all I've got to do is listen

621
00:40:34,110 --> 00:40:35,069
once, and I know.

622
00:40:35,070 --> 00:40:37,690
Have you got it? Where you got it? How
you got it? Don't know.

623
00:40:37,910 --> 00:40:40,490
But the question is, what are you going
to do with it? Are you going to waste

624
00:40:40,490 --> 00:40:44,130
that voice on a parade ground singing,
to the rear, hodge, to the rear, hodge?

625
00:40:46,450 --> 00:40:48,410
Vicks, do you like your profession?

626
00:40:49,470 --> 00:40:51,450
Sure. Well, I like mine.

627
00:40:52,690 --> 00:40:56,410
Ever since I was an enlisted man, I
considered the Army a profession, just

628
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:57,410
law or medicine.

629
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,840
And that's the thing that people like
you and my uncle refuse to understand.

630
00:41:01,580 --> 00:41:03,220
He wanted me to go to work for him.

631
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,780
Well, maybe you should have listened to
your uncle.

632
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:10,600
I wouldn't have listened even if I'd
liked him, which I don't.

633
00:41:11,260 --> 00:41:13,060
Neither do I, that thief.

634
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:14,640
Now, look.

635
00:41:21,300 --> 00:41:26,080
Look, what I'm about to say to you is
just between us, you and me.

636
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:31,040
What I want to do is sign you to a
personal contract, Bixby exclusive.

637
00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,800
You'll be working for me, and I'll be
working for you. I'll teach you

638
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:36,499
I know.

639
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:38,080
It'll take a couple of years to bring
you along.

640
00:41:38,380 --> 00:41:43,600
Then I'll sit you in a Broadway show,
good part, good part, and you'll wind up

641
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:44,700
with a lousy fortune.

642
00:41:47,060 --> 00:41:48,460
Thanks, Bix. No sale.

643
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,580
Now, when I graduate from here in June,
I have an obligation to the government.

644
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,540
But you could quit. People haven't known
to change their agents.

645
00:41:57,620 --> 00:42:02,520
But you don't quit West Point, Biggs.
You don't even get busted out unless you

646
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:07,340
break some strict rule or regulation,
like violating honor or getting found in

647
00:42:07,340 --> 00:42:09,100
your studies or getting married.

648
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:13,200
You see, Biggs, what the gentleman is
trying to tell you is no.

649
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,640
Well, anyway, think it over. You might
change your mind.

650
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,200
No, not a chance.

651
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:20,720
But don't think I'm not grateful.

652
00:42:25,340 --> 00:42:27,280
Well, that wasn't only a brush.

653
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,220
He threw in the comb and mirror.

654
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,380
I like that kid.

655
00:42:31,940 --> 00:42:32,940
I like them both.

656
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:34,300
I heard you.

657
00:42:34,420 --> 00:42:36,220
I saw that huddle you were in with Hal.

658
00:42:36,500 --> 00:42:37,499
Oh? Yes.

659
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:38,820
He's going to drag me.

660
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,200
By what?

661
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:43,180
He's taking me to the hop.

662
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,960
I'm going to be his little drag.

663
00:42:46,740 --> 00:42:48,120
And where do you suppose I'll be?

664
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,780
Plebes aren't allowed to attend hops.

665
00:42:51,660 --> 00:42:54,620
And you're just a little old plebe.

666
00:42:55,100 --> 00:42:57,780
A little old plebe just got an idea.

667
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,000
A little old plebe just got an idea. A
little old plebe just got an idea.

668
00:43:02,300 --> 00:43:03,560
Come in.

669
00:43:11,660 --> 00:43:15,160
Well, Mr. Dumb Squat, what do you want?
Cadet Bixby reporting to ask a question,

670
00:43:15,300 --> 00:43:17,100
sir. Proceed, Mr. Bixby.

671
00:43:20,140 --> 00:43:21,140
Well, sir.

672
00:43:21,390 --> 00:43:24,790
I was just wondering if you were
dragging anyone to the house Saturday

673
00:43:25,330 --> 00:43:26,950
Why? Do you have any ideas?

674
00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:28,990
Mm -hmm.

675
00:43:29,530 --> 00:43:30,570
Ever hear of Jan Wilson?

676
00:43:31,510 --> 00:43:32,510
The movie star?

677
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:34,330
Why, sure. Who hasn't?

678
00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:35,928
Friend of mine.

679
00:43:35,930 --> 00:43:39,010
Oh, that's the kind of friendship I'd
like to make.

680
00:43:40,030 --> 00:43:41,250
At ease, Mr. Bixby.

681
00:43:41,810 --> 00:43:45,170
Well, sir, you see, I kind of helped her
up the golden ladder.

682
00:43:45,450 --> 00:43:46,450
She's in New York.

683
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:49,030
I might be able to coax her up here.

684
00:43:53,930 --> 00:43:54,930
That's my drag?

685
00:43:55,550 --> 00:43:56,550
I could try.

686
00:43:56,990 --> 00:44:00,570
And you, you might persuade her to play
the princess in the show.

687
00:44:01,750 --> 00:44:04,850
Wouldn't you rather make love to her
than bully boy Gilbert?

688
00:44:09,730 --> 00:44:11,550
Start persuading, Mr. Bixby.

689
00:44:17,690 --> 00:44:20,430
I didn't sleep again last night.

690
00:44:20,670 --> 00:44:22,410
And I'd like to discuss...

691
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:31,560
To which I'm strung or tight And I'm as
beat as a bowl of batter If old

692
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:37,120
man Rip Van Winkle Thought his long
sleep was a curse I know how the old man

693
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:44,100
felt Because I've got his problem in
reverse 10

694
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:49,880
,432 sheep How long can I toss like
this?

695
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:54,569
33 sheep.

696
00:44:54,570 --> 00:44:57,210
What did you put in that kiss?

697
00:44:57,930 --> 00:45:02,290
I've tried all the remedies, the well
-known good advice.

698
00:45:02,650 --> 00:45:08,010
Took a hot tub and an alcohol rub. Did
the alphabet backwards twice.

699
00:45:08,590 --> 00:45:11,810
10 ,434 sheep.

700
00:45:12,030 --> 00:45:14,530
We'd better get married soon.

701
00:45:15,510 --> 00:45:19,090
10 ,435 sheep.

702
00:45:19,310 --> 00:45:21,890
I'll never hold out till June.

703
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,100
How much do I love you, just in case you
didn't know?

704
00:45:27,380 --> 00:45:31,300
To get a mental kiss with every sheep I
count.

705
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:35,740
And I've still got a million sheep to
go.

706
00:45:36,460 --> 00:45:37,960
Do you ever try singing a doctor?

707
00:45:38,260 --> 00:45:43,220
A doctor? I went to see a noted doctor
who's a famous analyst.

708
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,900
Then he led me to the couch and he
gently took my wrist.

709
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:51,940
I paid him $50. Well, that sounds pretty
cheap. Cheap?

710
00:45:52,220 --> 00:45:55,800
I should have paid him nothing, because
I still can't sleep.

711
00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,780
10 ,400.

712
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,340
36 sheep.

713
00:46:01,620 --> 00:46:05,040
And one sheep that got away. He took it
on the lamb.

714
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:07,060
10 ,400.

715
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:08,720
38 sheep.

716
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,960
every sheep I count. Add them all
together, that's a larger...

717
00:47:32,650 --> 00:47:35,930
We will call you. Wait a minute. I'm
handling things here. I'm the press

718
00:47:36,070 --> 00:47:37,330
Your secret is safe with me.

719
00:47:37,770 --> 00:47:41,690
Now, join the others like a good boy.
Yes, all right, fine.

720
00:47:41,950 --> 00:47:43,250
I'll do the same for you sometime.

721
00:47:45,510 --> 00:47:46,510
Jan Wilson.

722
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:47,770
Jan Wilson.

723
00:47:48,310 --> 00:47:52,950
Hollywood hasn't done a thing, not a
thing, to tarnish that unspoiled

724
00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:54,370
loveliness. Oh, that haircut.

725
00:47:54,890 --> 00:47:56,990
Oh, this you'll have to sit down for.

726
00:47:57,410 --> 00:47:59,290
Sweetheart, you're in for something of a
shock. What?

727
00:47:59,530 --> 00:48:01,350
Yep. I, uh...

728
00:48:05,230 --> 00:48:06,670
I'm a West Point cadet.

729
00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:07,930
You're a what?

730
00:48:07,970 --> 00:48:11,270
Yeah. If things are that bad, I'd better
unload my government bonds.

731
00:48:11,630 --> 00:48:13,870
Well, they had to get in the act to stay
there. I'm putting their show on for

732
00:48:13,870 --> 00:48:16,070
them. The place will never be the same,
old boy.

733
00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:19,630
I've got to bring you the news.

734
00:48:19,850 --> 00:48:24,550
I took a poll up there to find out who
the top favorite of the movie stars

735
00:48:24,550 --> 00:48:25,550
all the cadets.

736
00:48:25,750 --> 00:48:27,310
All 2 ,500 of them.

737
00:48:27,530 --> 00:48:30,010
And who, who do you think they picked?

738
00:48:30,610 --> 00:48:31,610
Who?

739
00:48:32,310 --> 00:48:33,550
You, Jan Wilson.

740
00:48:33,790 --> 00:48:35,540
Really? Oh, isn't that nice?

741
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:36,760
Indicated my judgment.

742
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:38,600
What's your angle?

743
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:41,200
What's your angle?

744
00:48:42,180 --> 00:48:44,860
Angle? You've always got one. What is
it?

745
00:48:45,940 --> 00:48:47,140
Oh, no, Jenny.

746
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:49,480
All right, all right.

747
00:48:49,900 --> 00:48:50,980
I do need a favor.

748
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,100
They're giving a hop for the members of
the cast next Saturday night. All great

749
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:56,180
kids, great kids.

750
00:48:56,380 --> 00:48:57,440
And I made them a promise.

751
00:48:57,660 --> 00:48:58,660
What?

752
00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:00,160
I promised you to appear.

753
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,290
I've got two recording dates, three
personal appearances, radio broadcasts.

754
00:49:04,290 --> 00:49:06,230
can't do it.

755
00:49:06,710 --> 00:49:09,010
Can't do it, huh? Well, I can't find the
time to do it.

756
00:49:12,350 --> 00:49:13,350
All right.

757
00:49:14,890 --> 00:49:15,890
All right.

758
00:49:16,350 --> 00:49:17,990
But, Bix! Oh, it's all right.

759
00:49:18,210 --> 00:49:19,210
All right.

760
00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:21,670
Just don't worry about a thing.

761
00:49:22,190 --> 00:49:23,830
Bix, I'm sorry.

762
00:49:24,470 --> 00:49:26,710
No, I said it was all right. All right.

763
00:49:27,130 --> 00:49:28,730
I gave it the old college try.

764
00:49:29,390 --> 00:49:32,130
But, uh, just think of me when you're
counting your money.

765
00:49:33,710 --> 00:49:35,090
But I said I was sorry.

766
00:49:36,170 --> 00:49:37,170
Oh, well.

767
00:49:38,190 --> 00:49:39,190
Look, sweetheart.

768
00:49:40,050 --> 00:49:42,450
I thought... I thought you might as well
have these.

769
00:49:42,670 --> 00:49:46,530
What? The dancing shoes you wore the day
I took you out of the course.

770
00:49:49,250 --> 00:49:50,970
You didn't tell me you saved these.

771
00:49:51,290 --> 00:49:52,290
Oh, well.

772
00:49:52,350 --> 00:49:54,210
How many stars can a guy make in a
lifetime?

773
00:49:57,150 --> 00:49:58,850
But you can't blame a fellow for being
sentimental.

774
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,660
I went without lunch a whole month to
buy them.

775
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,400
And then you didn't know what to do with
them.

776
00:50:06,820 --> 00:50:08,460
Remember that first time stuff I showed
you?

777
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,600
Air taps.

778
00:50:10,700 --> 00:50:12,220
Oh, don't tell me I look like that.

779
00:50:12,420 --> 00:50:15,140
That was on your good day. Here was one
you never could do. Oh, yeah?

780
00:50:17,660 --> 00:50:19,300
Move over, old boy. Watch this.

781
00:50:21,380 --> 00:50:22,380
Huh?

782
00:50:25,940 --> 00:50:27,460
Oh, now look, sweetie. What?

783
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,220
Life isn't all taking. There comes a
time when you've got to do a little

784
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,400
Now, it isn't as though we were absolute
strangers.

785
00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:39,240
You just can't let old friendships go
unheeded. And, pal, I do need a favor.

786
00:50:44,180 --> 00:50:45,800
All right, I'll do it.

787
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,120
There's my girl.

788
00:50:49,780 --> 00:50:50,780
My girl.

789
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:53,260
Knew all the time you wouldn't let old
bits down.

790
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,520
Knew it all the time.

791
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,300
My studio's gonna blow a fuse.

792
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:02,060
It'll be more fun than making a living
anyway.

793
00:51:08,500 --> 00:51:12,320
Why, you phony, no -good, two -timing
character.

794
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,620
I'll make this just like old times.

795
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,520
Oh, no. Your aim is better.

796
00:51:31,980 --> 00:51:32,980
I can't believe it.

797
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,020
Somewhere along the line, I must have
been a very good boy.

798
00:51:37,340 --> 00:51:39,060
Now that I'm here, couldn't we dance
together?

799
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,580
Huh? Someone may walk between us, you
know.

800
00:51:45,580 --> 00:51:47,560
Buttons. They're guided missiles.

801
00:51:47,940 --> 00:51:48,940
I see what you mean.

802
00:51:56,140 --> 00:51:57,160
Changing the guard, sir?

803
00:52:04,810 --> 00:52:06,890
Every time I see you in that uniform, I
break up.

804
00:52:07,110 --> 00:52:08,110
You, don't you think?

805
00:52:09,770 --> 00:52:10,769
What cooks?

806
00:52:10,770 --> 00:52:13,050
You didn't bring me up here just for
laughs.

807
00:52:16,230 --> 00:52:17,230
Step into my office.

808
00:52:22,030 --> 00:52:23,030
Look, sweet.

809
00:52:23,470 --> 00:52:27,030
That cadet you were just dancing with?
Uh -huh.

810
00:52:27,410 --> 00:52:28,410
Tom?

811
00:52:29,150 --> 00:52:31,290
That is Harry Eberhardt's nephew.

812
00:52:31,650 --> 00:52:32,549
He is?

813
00:52:32,550 --> 00:52:33,550
Uh -huh.

814
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:35,480
I'm going to bust that kid out of this
joint.

815
00:52:35,860 --> 00:52:38,060
But when I do, he's not going to sign
with his Uncle Harry.

816
00:52:38,820 --> 00:52:40,960
He's going to sign with Bixby.

817
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,340
And what felony do you want me to
commit?

818
00:52:44,460 --> 00:52:46,920
I want you to give the kid a taste of
show business.

819
00:52:47,460 --> 00:52:48,540
She's here, all right.

820
00:52:49,220 --> 00:52:50,220
But why?

821
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:51,520
Well, didn't you know?

822
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,200
No. Well, Bix got her to come up as a
blind drag for Tom.

823
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,800
And Tom got Bix special permission to
come to the hop.

824
00:52:58,700 --> 00:52:59,700
Oh.

825
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,660
Now, tonight, he's going to ask you to
be in the show.

826
00:53:03,290 --> 00:53:04,290
I told him to do it.

827
00:53:04,490 --> 00:53:08,810
And when he starts selling, baby, you
start buying.

828
00:53:09,070 --> 00:53:12,550
I came up here for one night, not to
make a career out of this.

829
00:53:12,870 --> 00:53:15,870
Now, didn't we say that this was time
for a little giving?

830
00:53:16,330 --> 00:53:21,450
And just think, just think, the first
dame ever to be in a West Point show.

831
00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:24,710
Do you think I can swing it?

832
00:53:26,590 --> 00:53:27,770
With what you have to swing?

833
00:53:30,250 --> 00:53:32,430
Start swinging.

834
00:53:33,569 --> 00:53:35,310
I thought you might enjoy a little
refreshment.

835
00:53:35,850 --> 00:53:36,850
Thank you.

836
00:54:02,990 --> 00:54:04,530
Do your boys have this?

837
00:54:04,930 --> 00:54:08,370
Yes. All right. When she comes up here,
give her an introduction and send her

838
00:54:08,370 --> 00:54:09,069
right in.

839
00:54:09,070 --> 00:54:10,070
Right.

840
00:54:26,890 --> 00:54:28,510
You did a number on your last picture.

841
00:54:28,810 --> 00:54:29,830
The military poker.

842
00:54:30,350 --> 00:54:31,930
We liked it up here. Oh, thank you.

843
00:54:32,460 --> 00:54:33,540
How about doing it for us now?

844
00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:35,700
Oh, really? I don't want to sing now.

845
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:39,160
Oh, come on. They'd all enjoy it. But I
can bring my music. Please.

846
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,220
All set? All ready.

847
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,060
Put your arms around her shoulder when
the order told her arms. Take a full,

848
00:54:54,140 --> 00:54:59,000
firm grip of the lady and her charms. If
her heart is your objective, you can

849
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,100
win it right away when they play.

850
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:03,060
The military polka.

851
00:55:03,460 --> 00:55:08,520
To the right flank is the order and the
dancers gaily twirl. Then it's set, a,

852
00:55:08,540 --> 00:55:13,020
eight. So you face your neighbor's girl,
but you turn back to attention. Love's

853
00:55:13,020 --> 00:55:16,980
the order of the day when they play the
military polka.

854
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,860
Hut, two, three, four.

855
00:55:20,140 --> 00:55:26,320
Hut, two, three, four. Hut, two, three,
four. Here they go. See those military

856
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,480
men in line. See their uniform.

857
00:55:31,590 --> 00:55:38,510
It's amazing how erect they stand, and
your heart begins to beat, begins to

858
00:55:38,510 --> 00:55:41,470
beat, to beat the band, and the band.

859
00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:34,030
Put your arms around her shoulder when
the order stole her arms. Take the full,

860
00:56:34,150 --> 00:56:38,930
firm grip of the lady and her charms. If
her heart is your objective, you can

861
00:56:38,930 --> 00:56:42,930
win it right away when they play the
military polka.

862
00:56:43,740 --> 00:56:48,460
To the right, Mike, is the order and the
dance of J .D. Twirl. And it's left by

863
00:56:48,460 --> 00:56:53,040
face. So you face your neighbor's girl,
but you turn back to attention. Love the

864
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,080
order of the day when they play the
military polka.

865
00:57:04,750 --> 00:57:08,790
See the dancers marching forward
straight across the hall and floor. If

866
00:57:08,790 --> 00:57:11,670
steals a kiss, all is fair in love and
war.

867
00:57:11,950 --> 00:57:15,230
From now on there's no retreating cause
you'll fall in love this way.

868
00:57:15,950 --> 00:57:18,930
You can bet your boots, you'll all be
recruits.

869
00:57:19,430 --> 00:57:23,090
When they play the mill, we'll carry the
mill.

870
00:58:21,740 --> 00:58:22,740
Would you like a little air?

871
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:24,240
Fine.

872
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,460
You see, up here every spring we put on
our show.

873
00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,000
Well, that's the musical without the
girls. That's right.

874
00:58:35,420 --> 00:58:38,400
Not much fun in that, is there? Well, we
have to break out sometime.

875
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,980
Sort of celebrate the end of the gloom
period.

876
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,800
Oh, look what I've done.

877
00:58:46,540 --> 00:58:47,540
I'm all thumbs.

878
00:58:48,140 --> 00:58:49,140
I'll get it.

879
00:59:00,140 --> 00:59:01,140
name of that song they're playing?

880
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,600
Oh, that's the ballad from our show.

881
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:04,419
Is it?

882
00:59:04,420 --> 00:59:05,420
Sing it for me.

883
00:59:05,540 --> 00:59:07,640
No, no. I'm out of my class.

884
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,320
You're used to professions.

885
00:59:09,580 --> 00:59:10,558
Oh, come on.

886
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,360
Tonight you may lose your amateur
standing.

887
00:59:34,890 --> 00:59:41,110
In every dream you seem so unattainable.

888
00:59:43,510 --> 00:59:45,910
It's not explainable.

889
00:59:47,970 --> 00:59:50,190
And yet you're mine.

890
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:10,960
I'm sure this heart of mine would not
deceive me.

891
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:18,760
And even if you never say it,

892
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,940
this I know is true.

893
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:27,320
You love me just as I do.

894
01:00:38,020 --> 01:00:39,020
Oh,

895
01:00:39,460 --> 01:00:40,500
and I love that song.

896
01:00:41,420 --> 01:00:43,040
Really, your voice just thrilled me.

897
01:00:43,900 --> 01:00:44,900
Here.

898
01:00:45,380 --> 01:00:46,380
Don't spill it.

899
01:01:23,530 --> 01:01:24,530
What's that?

900
01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:25,710
That's Army blue.

901
01:01:26,150 --> 01:01:29,610
It means we have exactly one hour to get
back to barracks before taps.

902
01:01:29,950 --> 01:01:30,950
Oh.

903
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,460
Please tell me what this is all about.

904
01:01:48,740 --> 01:01:51,460
Well, you know that idea you had about
the local playing the princess?

905
01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:53,460
I've thought it over. It's positively
great.

906
01:01:53,940 --> 01:01:56,100
That's not a local. That's a movie star.

907
01:01:56,620 --> 01:02:00,460
And she's cadet happy. And the cadet is
movie star happy. And in about five

908
01:02:00,460 --> 01:02:02,900
minutes, they're going to be on
flirtation walk.

909
01:02:03,580 --> 01:02:04,940
Doesn't that make you wish you were
young again?

910
01:02:11,260 --> 01:02:13,860
I suppose you know this crooked little
path is famous.

911
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,440
This isn't the road that's paved with
bad intentions, is it?

912
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,360
Ow! Oh, rocks in your shoes?

913
01:02:21,620 --> 01:02:22,680
Feels like a whole corn.

914
01:02:23,220 --> 01:02:24,220
I'll get it.

915
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:29,620
Wonderful little pebbles.

916
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,540
Scattered in the most convenient places.

917
01:02:33,900 --> 01:02:36,820
Slows down the enemy and brings her into
range.

918
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,620
Something tells me I'll be safer as a
moving target.

919
01:02:39,940 --> 01:02:41,080
Ah, warn you.

920
01:02:41,740 --> 01:02:42,860
Rotation walk gets darker.

921
01:02:43,450 --> 01:02:44,750
Also previously arranged.

922
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:48,670
You know, the girls sometimes call this
temptation walk.

923
01:02:49,630 --> 01:02:52,810
Tom, you know, you really have a
beautiful voice.

924
01:02:53,190 --> 01:02:54,430
What are you going to do with it?

925
01:02:55,310 --> 01:02:56,790
You know my uncle, too.

926
01:02:57,470 --> 01:03:00,430
Well, yes, but you can't throw away
talent like yours.

927
01:03:00,930 --> 01:03:03,330
You could have a great career. You could
be a star.

928
01:03:04,870 --> 01:03:07,810
Well, right now I'm concentrating on a
star on my shoulder.

929
01:03:10,650 --> 01:03:11,650
Incidentally, Tom.

930
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,380
It was nice of you to ask me.

931
01:03:13,660 --> 01:03:15,020
It was wonderful of you to come.

932
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:16,680
Oh, I mean about the show.

933
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:19,440
Do you really want me?

934
01:03:20,380 --> 01:03:21,380
Want you?

935
01:03:21,700 --> 01:03:24,360
Well, I mean, if you do, I could arrange
my schedule.

936
01:03:24,820 --> 01:03:25,820
That'll be wonderful.

937
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,660
And what a lovely princess you'll make.

938
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:30,560
Thank you.

939
01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:32,680
Well, what do you know?

940
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,140
By a fortunate coincidence, we're under
the kissing rod.

941
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,120
Nice maneuvering, General.

942
01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:43,120
Now what?

943
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:50,140
Well, you've been kissed, I know, in the
very last row. When the love scene is

944
01:03:50,140 --> 01:03:52,100
on at the movie show.

945
01:03:52,540 --> 01:03:56,080
But wait until tonight and you'll be
kissed. But right.

946
01:03:56,300 --> 01:03:59,180
By the kissing rock.

947
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:01,880
It's a lovely spot.

948
01:04:02,180 --> 01:04:03,820
And believe it or not.

949
01:04:04,030 --> 01:04:10,130
If you just care a little, you'll care a
lot. So let's dispense with talk and

950
01:04:10,130 --> 01:04:14,750
take flirtation walk to the kissing
rock.

951
01:04:15,510 --> 01:04:19,610
Now a girl once refused to kiss a lad.

952
01:04:20,070 --> 01:04:22,890
And the lad was a man of honor.

953
01:04:23,570 --> 01:04:30,370
He warned her she'd make the rock real
mad. And the legend is the rock fell

954
01:04:30,370 --> 01:04:33,170
her. That was years ago.

955
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:39,940
It must have been so Cause from that day
to this Not a girl said no And that's

956
01:04:39,940 --> 01:04:46,180
the story of Whoever falls in love By
the kissing rock

957
01:04:46,180 --> 01:04:51,160
What's this for? You're supposed to put
it on. Oh.

958
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,340
And now, so the rock won't fall down and
kill us both?

959
01:05:03,980 --> 01:05:04,980
Just a legend.

960
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:07,680
Oh, it's a lovely legend.

961
01:05:08,460 --> 01:05:10,080
And a wonderful time saver.

962
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,960
Will you stop making a Supreme Court
case out of nothing? Out of nothing?

963
01:05:17,660 --> 01:05:20,620
How much did Eberhard promise you to
come up here?

964
01:05:22,180 --> 01:05:23,180
Now, look, sweetheart.

965
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:25,100
I'm doing this all for you.

966
01:05:25,460 --> 01:05:26,460
For me? Yes.

967
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,860
Why do you suppose I'm up here in this
usher's outfit? Because I like to play

968
01:05:29,860 --> 01:05:33,160
soldiers? No. All right. All right. So
I'm going to get the kid busted out of

969
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:35,820
here. Does he know what he's got? No.
But you know, and so do I.

970
01:05:36,300 --> 01:05:39,420
Now, there's gold in them thar tonsils.
And after I've had them a couple of

971
01:05:39,420 --> 01:05:43,000
years, we'll own a hunk of the mint. He
doesn't want a hunk of the mint.

972
01:05:44,220 --> 01:05:45,220
I do.

973
01:05:45,660 --> 01:05:48,120
And to get it, you're willing to upset
this boy's life.

974
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,160
All his hopes, plans, happiness.

975
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:52,640
And you brought me along to help you.

976
01:05:53,260 --> 01:05:57,040
I've got your future to think of,
haven't I? Not mine, you haven't. Of all

977
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,520
miserable, rotten, contemptible tricks.

978
01:05:59,820 --> 01:06:01,820
Even for you, this is a new low.

979
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:03,120
Oh, now, sweetheart.

980
01:06:03,340 --> 01:06:04,340
Don't sweetheart me.

981
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,180
This time I thought you might be on the
level. Well, you're hopeless.

982
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,240
Making you one of the crowd hasn't
changed you a single bit.

983
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,980
I'd stick around if I thought I could
stop you from ruining that boy's life,

984
01:06:15,980 --> 01:06:17,740
I can't compete with movie stars.

985
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:19,740
Let's go inside and talk it over. No.

986
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,160
I'm going inside, and tomorrow I'm going
back to New York.

987
01:06:23,500 --> 01:06:25,760
You go back to your barracks before
you're too late.

988
01:06:26,190 --> 01:06:30,170
If you don't, they'll throw you out and
you won't get your boy nor your hunk of

989
01:06:30,170 --> 01:06:31,170
a mint.

990
01:06:31,710 --> 01:06:32,710
Oh, Eve.

991
01:06:41,470 --> 01:06:42,570
Mr. Bixby.

992
01:06:50,470 --> 01:06:53,510
Yes? What are you doing out of your room
after taps?

993
01:06:53,970 --> 01:06:54,970
Have you a pass?

994
01:06:56,970 --> 01:06:57,970
All right.

995
01:07:03,310 --> 01:07:04,308
All right?

996
01:07:04,310 --> 01:07:06,530
He shouldn't be saying all right. He
hasn't got a pass.

997
01:07:12,090 --> 01:07:13,090
Howdy, Mr. Bixby.

998
01:07:13,970 --> 01:07:15,370
Mr. Bixby, we've got trouble.

999
01:07:16,450 --> 01:07:18,650
My girl is walking out on me and you've
got trouble.

1000
01:07:18,970 --> 01:07:20,010
You gave your word.

1001
01:07:20,710 --> 01:07:23,210
You said all right when you just came in
and you had no right to say it.

1002
01:07:24,010 --> 01:07:25,610
You weren't authorized to be out after
taps.

1003
01:07:26,090 --> 01:07:28,470
So I said, all right, what are you going
to do, shoot me at sunrise?

1004
01:07:29,250 --> 01:07:30,450
I don't get up that early.

1005
01:07:32,090 --> 01:07:36,730
Mr. Bixby, not so long ago I heard you
talking about your theater, its

1006
01:07:36,730 --> 01:07:37,730
discipline and traditions.

1007
01:07:38,650 --> 01:07:40,530
Well, at West Point, we have ours, too.

1008
01:07:41,550 --> 01:07:43,050
The heart of it is the honor system.

1009
01:07:43,850 --> 01:07:46,130
You give your word, we take it.

1010
01:07:46,710 --> 01:07:49,690
But by what you did tonight, you
dismissed it as unimportant.

1011
01:07:51,070 --> 01:07:52,950
Now, that may not mean anything to you.

1012
01:07:53,210 --> 01:07:54,350
Now, look, son.

1013
01:07:54,890 --> 01:07:56,450
There was no intention of hurting
anybody.

1014
01:07:56,890 --> 01:07:57,890
But you did.

1015
01:07:57,950 --> 01:07:58,950
You hurt us.

1016
01:07:59,550 --> 01:08:00,550
We vouched for you.

1017
01:08:01,130 --> 01:08:03,190
We went out on a limb for you, and you
sought it off.

1018
01:08:03,510 --> 01:08:05,770
You mean to say that you two personally
vouched for me?

1019
01:08:06,530 --> 01:08:07,570
That's right, Tom and I.

1020
01:08:08,970 --> 01:08:12,110
By special permission, Mr. Bixby, you
are allowed to become a member of the

1021
01:08:12,110 --> 01:08:13,110
Corps of Cadets.

1022
01:08:13,690 --> 01:08:15,730
That's a privilege rarely granted to an
outsider.

1023
01:08:17,050 --> 01:08:19,450
But you were absent without authority,
and you lied about it.

1024
01:08:20,470 --> 01:08:23,130
That's unforgivable up here, and we
can't let you get away with it.

1025
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:27,600
Nobody knows better than we do how much
you've done for our show, and we

1026
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:28,600
appreciate it.

1027
01:08:29,500 --> 01:08:33,060
But since you can't live here as we live
here, then we can't have you.

1028
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,439
And West Point has no need for you.

1029
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:41,880
So what do you mean?

1030
01:08:49,279 --> 01:08:50,279
Sir.

1031
01:08:51,580 --> 01:08:53,640
Cadet Bixby reports himself late from
hop.

1032
01:08:54,010 --> 01:08:55,010
Without authority.

1033
01:08:55,270 --> 01:08:56,470
Okay, Mr. Bixby.

1034
01:09:03,290 --> 01:09:04,290
There he is.

1035
01:09:05,290 --> 01:09:06,290
Elwin Bixby.

1036
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:07,850
Walking punishment tours.

1037
01:09:12,149 --> 01:09:13,149
He's on the level.

1038
01:09:14,149 --> 01:09:15,930
We have a way of knowing up here.

1039
01:09:18,170 --> 01:09:19,170
Look, Eve.

1040
01:09:20,010 --> 01:09:22,550
We need him almost as much as he needs
you.

1041
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,740
If you walk out on them, you walk out on
us, too.

1042
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:27,560
How about it?

1043
01:09:28,939 --> 01:09:29,939
Hey, Bix!

1044
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:32,920
I think she's gonna stay.

1045
01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:40,939
All right.

1046
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:42,939
Okay, fine. Take five.

1047
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:44,160
Hal, I want to talk to you.

1048
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,560
Up to here, show's good and solid. A lot
of good entertainment.

1049
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,340
But I think right about this time, we
need a change of pace.

1050
01:09:59,780 --> 01:10:02,500
Now, audiences don't only see and hear.

1051
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:03,800
They feel.

1052
01:10:03,900 --> 01:10:05,760
Really feel. And that's where we're
letting them down.

1053
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,080
Now, they should hear your songs.

1054
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:09,980
They should feel what West Point means.

1055
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,280
It's history. It's tradition. It's great
men.

1056
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,960
You want to do all that in one number?
They can't shoot us for trying. We've

1057
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,920
the material, the songs and the poems.

1058
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:19,320
I'll tell you what we'll do.

1059
01:10:19,660 --> 01:10:22,160
We'll open with the Glee Club singing
the core.

1060
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:23,560
The Corps!

1061
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,240
The Corps!

1062
01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:27,500
The Corps!

1063
01:10:28,860 --> 01:10:33,680
To the long gray line of West Point, to
its gallant companies.

1064
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:40,840
The Corps, their heaven saluted, with
eyes up, thanking our God,

1065
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,640
that we of the Corps are ready,

1066
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,500
where they of the Corps have trod.

1067
01:10:49,740 --> 01:10:53,210
In the beginning, as... In all things,
it was only a dream.

1068
01:10:54,030 --> 01:10:59,550
But the dreamers had names, like
Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson.

1069
01:11:00,650 --> 01:11:06,570
They stood on a point of land on the
west bank of the Hudson and planned that

1070
01:11:06,570 --> 01:11:11,910
this fortress that guarded our newborn
nation should become our military

1071
01:11:11,910 --> 01:11:17,710
academy. The Corps was founded, and the
father of our country became the father

1072
01:11:17,710 --> 01:11:19,670
of a legend, a tradition.

1073
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:26,240
What made this dream become the
magnificent reality that is West Point?

1074
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:34,620
For a cadet to become an

1075
01:11:34,620 --> 01:11:37,180
officer, he must have an understanding
of duty.

1076
01:11:38,380 --> 01:11:41,200
He must have respect for honor.

1077
01:11:42,700 --> 01:11:48,020
But for all his duty and all his honor,
a soldier fights not only because he is

1078
01:11:48,020 --> 01:11:53,720
told to fight, but because there is
something to fight for, his country.

1079
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:55,840
Country.

1080
01:11:57,060 --> 01:11:59,400
Duty, honor, country.

1081
01:12:00,460 --> 01:12:06,720
This is why the dream materialized into
the stone and steel and spirit that is

1082
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:07,720
West Point.

1083
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:12,300
A dream that can be measured by the
names of its giants striding through the

1084
01:12:12,300 --> 01:12:13,700
pages of American history.

1085
01:12:14,740 --> 01:12:19,140
Giants whose voices rang so loud that
the entire world, trembled.

1086
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:24,840
Yet once were cadets marching nervously
across the plain.

1087
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:32,960
Cadets like Lee, Grant, Pershing,
MacArthur, Wainwright,

1088
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:39,700
Arnold, Patton, Bradley, Eisenhower, and

1089
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:44,420
thousands of others who left this point
on the Hudson to end their earthly lives

1090
01:12:44,420 --> 01:12:46,900
in the dirt and mud of foreign lands.

1091
01:12:48,810 --> 01:12:55,810
Men who didn't want wars and didn't make
wars, but simply fought them because

1092
01:12:55,810 --> 01:12:59,770
they had the understanding and the
courage to want a free America.

1093
01:13:00,690 --> 01:13:07,350
Because, like Washington, Hamilton,
Jefferson, they believed in a dream that

1094
01:13:07,350 --> 01:13:08,350
West Point.

1095
01:13:08,890 --> 01:13:10,070
A legend.

1096
01:13:10,410 --> 01:13:11,590
A tradition.

1097
01:13:12,370 --> 01:13:15,290
One of the great guardians of human
liberty.

1098
01:13:17,610 --> 01:13:24,430
Please, God, may we always keep faith
with them, as they have with us, for

1099
01:13:24,670 --> 01:13:27,610
for honor, for country.

1100
01:14:33,320 --> 01:14:37,840
Mr. Bixby, every year up here after
graduation parade, the plebes are

1101
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:39,220
by all the upperclassmen.

1102
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,560
But since you won't be here, we'd like
to recognize you now.

1103
01:14:43,900 --> 01:14:46,620
You've taken everything we could give
you, and you were great.

1104
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:49,480
So from now on, you're no longer Mr.
Dumb John.

1105
01:14:50,060 --> 01:14:52,220
You're just plain Bix.

1106
01:14:53,540 --> 01:14:56,100
And we're proud to know you. Proud to
know you, Bix.

1107
01:15:05,290 --> 01:15:06,290
I've got a speech, too.

1108
01:15:08,510 --> 01:15:13,510
Vicks, in deep appreciation for
everything you've done, the fellas in

1109
01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:14,910
have whipped up this little token.

1110
01:15:16,070 --> 01:15:19,250
We know it's something you'll always
hold dear to your heart because of your

1111
01:15:19,250 --> 01:15:21,370
deep affection for all that it implies.

1112
01:15:22,790 --> 01:15:23,790
Uh -huh.

1113
01:15:28,350 --> 01:15:30,290
Oh, no, no, no.

1114
01:15:32,970 --> 01:15:34,570
Looky here now, looky here.

1115
01:15:36,430 --> 01:15:38,130
I'm very happy to see you got one large
enough.

1116
01:15:39,590 --> 01:15:41,310
From here in, I won't be able to blow my
top.

1117
01:15:41,810 --> 01:15:42,810
Come on now, Bix.

1118
01:15:43,050 --> 01:15:45,610
Don't let the shine of that brass hat
put a halo around your head.

1119
01:15:46,530 --> 01:15:47,530
Yeah, mighty pretty.

1120
01:15:47,690 --> 01:15:48,688
Mighty pretty.

1121
01:15:48,690 --> 01:15:51,730
But I would just like to call your
attention to one thing.

1122
01:15:52,530 --> 01:15:53,530
Only six stars.

1123
01:15:55,050 --> 01:15:59,490
Well, fellas, as a general thing, I'm
not at a loss for words, but at a time

1124
01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:02,150
like this, I can never think of anything
to say.

1125
01:16:03,390 --> 01:16:04,590
Just want you to know that...

1126
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:06,800
You've hit me right in the center.

1127
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:08,280
You really have.

1128
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:13,060
Makes me think of a little guy I used to
know out in Brooklyn years ago.

1129
01:16:14,180 --> 01:16:19,160
Curious little fella, and... Oh, look.

1130
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:20,980
You'll have to excuse me.

1131
01:16:21,620 --> 01:16:23,040
My nose gets awfully red.

1132
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,080
What are you crying about?

1133
01:16:38,730 --> 01:16:41,090
What's the matter, Bix? I'm worried
about Tom.

1134
01:16:41,490 --> 01:16:43,390
Jan calls him every day.

1135
01:16:43,870 --> 01:16:47,230
He persuaded her to be princess in the
show. You should have seen his face when

1136
01:16:47,230 --> 01:16:48,230
he told me about it.

1137
01:16:48,310 --> 01:16:49,350
Kid's on his heels.

1138
01:16:50,070 --> 01:16:51,250
Wasn't that your idea?

1139
01:16:51,650 --> 01:16:54,650
Yes, yes, but she's leaving for
California on the train tonight.

1140
01:16:55,030 --> 01:16:56,950
Sure, unless... Unless what?

1141
01:16:57,210 --> 01:16:59,590
Unless she's fallen in love. Not enough
time.

1142
01:17:00,350 --> 01:17:01,570
Doesn't take very long.

1143
01:17:02,910 --> 01:17:05,970
Remind me sometime to tell you about
boys and girls.

1144
01:17:21,070 --> 01:17:26,750
Until tonight, and you'll be kissed butt
right by the kissing rock.

1145
01:17:27,950 --> 01:17:28,950
What's all this for?

1146
01:17:29,390 --> 01:17:30,390
Flirtation walk.

1147
01:17:30,570 --> 01:17:31,570
The rock.

1148
01:17:31,850 --> 01:17:33,330
The kissing rock.

1149
01:17:36,610 --> 01:17:37,610
See?

1150
01:17:37,830 --> 01:17:39,410
That's the way it's done up here.

1151
01:17:40,010 --> 01:17:41,050
Oh, is that so?

1152
01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:43,950
Now, how do you know that that's the way
it's done up here?

1153
01:17:44,950 --> 01:17:46,590
I've been up here four weeks.

1154
01:17:47,030 --> 01:17:48,030
Oh, I see.

1155
01:17:48,430 --> 01:17:50,730
Well, beginning tomorrow, I'm putting
you on a short leash.

1156
01:17:53,310 --> 01:17:54,410
Well, there it is.

1157
01:17:55,830 --> 01:17:56,830
West Point.

1158
01:17:57,730 --> 01:17:58,730
There's the chapel.

1159
01:17:59,150 --> 01:18:00,150
There's Cullum Hall.

1160
01:18:00,750 --> 01:18:02,290
And that's the Hudson, of course.

1161
01:18:02,850 --> 01:18:04,110
Oh, it's just beautiful.

1162
01:18:04,990 --> 01:18:09,350
And this is Fort Putnam, built in 1778
to keep away the British.

1163
01:18:10,250 --> 01:18:12,510
But it serves a more useful purpose
today.

1164
01:18:13,610 --> 01:18:15,350
To keep away Mr. Bixby.

1165
01:18:21,180 --> 01:18:23,300
Tom, do you know what they're saying in
New York?

1166
01:18:23,540 --> 01:18:26,340
What? Jan Wilson has blown her top.

1167
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,520
She goes up the Hudson like the Albany
night boat.

1168
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:31,320
To see a soldier.

1169
01:18:32,460 --> 01:18:33,640
No. Yes.

1170
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,520
Bix. Bix, I have the most wonderful
news.

1171
01:18:40,020 --> 01:18:41,280
Tom asked me to marry him.

1172
01:18:41,620 --> 01:18:42,620
Look.

1173
01:18:43,260 --> 01:18:44,600
Congratulations, Jan.

1174
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,660
I envy you. That is not news. That's
calamity.

1175
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:49,300
Oh, we love each other, Bix.

1176
01:18:49,550 --> 01:18:52,490
Marriage was not part of the deal. Tom's
a West Pointer and wives are not

1177
01:18:52,490 --> 01:18:53,369
standard equipment.

1178
01:18:53,370 --> 01:18:56,910
Remember, Cupid, you shot the arrow.

1179
01:18:57,210 --> 01:18:58,370
He doesn't know what he's doing.

1180
01:18:58,730 --> 01:19:01,590
But I'm blowing the whistle on you.
You're going back to New York tonight.

1181
01:19:01,950 --> 01:19:03,770
How come you're giving out orders?

1182
01:19:04,210 --> 01:19:06,370
Do you own a piece of the academy now?

1183
01:19:09,170 --> 01:19:10,170
Hello?

1184
01:19:10,330 --> 01:19:11,810
Miss Wilson? Yeah, she's here. Hold on.

1185
01:19:12,830 --> 01:19:13,830
California.

1186
01:19:20,170 --> 01:19:21,170
Hello? Speaking.

1187
01:19:21,510 --> 01:19:24,110
Jan, what's the matter with you? Have
you lost your head or something?

1188
01:19:24,310 --> 01:19:26,490
Who told you to cancel your personal
appearances?

1189
01:19:26,970 --> 01:19:31,030
But the New York office approved it, Mr.
Jocelyn. Did the New York office okay

1190
01:19:31,030 --> 01:19:33,150
you're making a fool of yourself with a
West Point cadet?

1191
01:19:34,430 --> 01:19:38,490
Now, just a minute, Jan. I'll do the
talking. I'll tell you about your

1192
01:19:38,490 --> 01:19:40,930
life. You haven't got one. You've got a
contract.

1193
01:19:41,370 --> 01:19:44,330
This studio spent a lot of money to make
Jan Wilson a star.

1194
01:19:44,630 --> 01:19:47,170
Do you think we did that just so she
could marry an army officer?

1195
01:19:47,900 --> 01:19:51,440
He might get shipped to Okinawa and take
you with him. And we don't make

1196
01:19:51,440 --> 01:19:55,360
pictures on Okinawa. I want you back
here on the coast. You start a new

1197
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:56,360
in two weeks.

1198
01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:58,720
Now, a company car will take you back to
New York.

1199
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:00,640
No, no, no excuses.

1200
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,300
You leave West Point immediately.

1201
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:10,320
Bix, I'll never forgive you for that.

1202
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:26,720
Some day she'll thank me.

1203
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:28,040
What for?

1204
01:20:28,180 --> 01:20:31,900
For bringing her up here and messing up
her life? She's young. She'll get over

1205
01:20:31,900 --> 01:20:35,740
it. She's a woman. She met someone real
and wonderful for the first time in her

1206
01:20:35,740 --> 01:20:36,740
life. Oh, shut up!

1207
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:38,900
Don't tell me to shut up! Why not?

1208
01:22:25,510 --> 01:22:26,510
Fine, Hal, fine.

1209
01:22:26,670 --> 01:22:27,670
May I want to talk to you?

1210
01:22:29,370 --> 01:22:32,830
Look, son, can you arrange to send a car
into New York to get a costume for Eve?

1211
01:22:33,550 --> 01:22:34,550
Sure, why?

1212
01:22:35,150 --> 01:22:38,610
I just went up to the Commandant's
office and got permission for her to do

1213
01:22:38,610 --> 01:22:39,610
Brooklyn number with you.

1214
01:22:39,970 --> 01:22:41,170
Hey, that's wonderful!

1215
01:22:41,610 --> 01:22:45,450
How did you ever work that? Oh, he just
kept talking and wore the poor man down.

1216
01:22:45,750 --> 01:22:47,490
Which, may I say, was not easy.

1217
01:22:47,770 --> 01:22:48,770
Biggs!

1218
01:22:49,570 --> 01:22:50,570
Can I talk to you a minute?

1219
01:22:51,370 --> 01:22:52,370
Tom's checked out.

1220
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:53,430
He's what?

1221
01:22:53,450 --> 01:22:54,550
I found him talking crazy.

1222
01:22:54,790 --> 01:22:57,670
Jan walked out. He was desperate. He's
going after and taking all his things.

1223
01:22:57,870 --> 01:23:00,570
I'll get a car. I'm going after him
before it's too late. Can you get leave?

1224
01:23:00,850 --> 01:23:03,410
No, I'll get slugged, but it'll be worth
it if I can get him back. You wait

1225
01:23:03,410 --> 01:23:04,970
here. I'll go get him. You may need me.

1226
01:23:05,210 --> 01:23:06,530
Yeah, all right. Steve, take over.

1227
01:23:10,170 --> 01:23:13,230
It isn't as simple as making a choice
between marriage and a career.

1228
01:23:13,730 --> 01:23:14,730
We have obligations.

1229
01:23:16,130 --> 01:23:19,170
I understand your life, darling. Please
try to understand mine.

1230
01:23:19,570 --> 01:23:21,270
But I do understand.

1231
01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:22,590
Tom.

1232
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:28,120
At 15, I was singing in a band, making
one -night stands when other girls were

1233
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,120
going to high school dances.

1234
01:23:30,060 --> 01:23:31,900
At 17, I had a Hollywood country.

1235
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:35,420
I'm a commodity now. I'm not a woman.

1236
01:23:39,260 --> 01:23:40,700
You know something, Tom?

1237
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,380
All my life, I've never known a boy like
you.

1238
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,580
I guess I never had time.

1239
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:56,580
I've had plenty of time to think things
out.

1240
01:23:56,840 --> 01:23:59,260
Somehow being a soldier doesn't seem so
important anymore.

1241
01:23:59,940 --> 01:24:01,800
Tom, you can't give up your career.

1242
01:24:02,220 --> 01:24:05,000
I've plenty of people. Even you said I
could earn a living in a theater.

1243
01:24:05,480 --> 01:24:06,980
Bixby wants me. Bix?

1244
01:24:07,340 --> 01:24:11,340
He can't do anything for you, darling.
He can't even get a job for himself. My

1245
01:24:11,340 --> 01:24:13,420
uncle wants me for a show. I'll get a
job.

1246
01:24:15,100 --> 01:24:17,760
Jan, will you marry me?

1247
01:24:39,450 --> 01:24:40,450
All there is?

1248
01:24:43,210 --> 01:24:45,050
Please go back before it's too late.

1249
01:24:50,750 --> 01:24:55,710
I thought I told you to go back to
Hollywood.

1250
01:24:56,750 --> 01:24:59,530
Tom, are you out of your mind? What are
you doing here? You're AWOL. You'll get

1251
01:24:59,530 --> 01:25:01,710
slugged. What do you think they'll do to
you? They'll bust you out in your ear.

1252
01:25:01,830 --> 01:25:02,830
Not me. I've resigned.

1253
01:25:03,650 --> 01:25:05,010
Resigned? You can't resign.

1254
01:25:05,310 --> 01:25:07,550
I've sent a letter to the superintendent
through channels.

1255
01:25:08,070 --> 01:25:09,070
Subject resignation.

1256
01:25:09,470 --> 01:25:10,429
Intentioned marriage.

1257
01:25:10,430 --> 01:25:11,730
We've got to get that letter back.

1258
01:25:12,030 --> 01:25:13,210
You can't. It's too late.

1259
01:25:13,570 --> 01:25:17,650
Oh, no. Two channels, it takes time to
get to the superintendent's desk.

1260
01:25:18,230 --> 01:25:19,610
You are coming with us.

1261
01:25:22,490 --> 01:25:24,390
There's a plane leaving for California
at nine.

1262
01:25:24,650 --> 01:25:25,650
You'll be on it.

1263
01:25:29,670 --> 01:25:30,670
Fletcher.

1264
01:25:30,810 --> 01:25:31,810
Cortland.

1265
01:25:37,770 --> 01:25:39,310
I've got some bad news for you,
Fletcher.

1266
01:25:39,770 --> 01:25:41,650
I've got an order from the Commandant's
office.

1267
01:25:42,530 --> 01:25:45,410
You and Cortland are to return to your
quarters. You're under arrest.

1268
01:25:47,090 --> 01:25:48,090
Okay.

1269
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:11,200
By direction of the Commandant, the
100th night show is herewith canceled.

1270
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:17,020
I say again, by direction of the
Commandant, the 100th night show is

1271
01:26:17,020 --> 01:26:18,020
canceled.

1272
01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:25,580
Oh, how are Tom and Hal?

1273
01:26:25,980 --> 01:26:29,060
I just talked to them. They're both
pretty low, especially Tom.

1274
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,080
Bix, I want you to know we appreciate
your effort to square matters with the

1275
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:34,980
Commandant. Too bad it didn't work.

1276
01:26:35,420 --> 01:26:37,000
Oh, you know, it's great, really great.

1277
01:26:37,980 --> 01:26:40,500
For over a hundred years, this show has
always gone on.

1278
01:26:41,300 --> 01:26:45,160
Civil War, Spanish -American War, World
War I, World War II.

1279
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:46,420
Nothing could stop it.

1280
01:26:46,740 --> 01:26:48,860
Bixby comes to West Point, bing.

1281
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:50,760
Forget it.

1282
01:26:50,980 --> 01:26:53,280
How about next year? Will you come up
again and put on the show?

1283
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:54,840
Too far off, son.

1284
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:57,400
Where is Eve?

1285
01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:59,940
Spent half my life waiting for that
dame.

1286
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:01,420
We're going to miss that train.

1287
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:10,160
Where you been?

1288
01:27:11,140 --> 01:27:12,400
Doing a little research.

1289
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:13,259
You what?

1290
01:27:13,260 --> 01:27:14,260
Here, read this.

1291
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:16,840
U .S. to fate French premier.

1292
01:27:17,100 --> 01:27:20,500
General Marcel Donnet arrives in New
York. All right, so a Frenchman comes to

1293
01:27:20,500 --> 01:27:21,500
town. What can he do?

1294
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:23,200
Plenty. Listen to this.

1295
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:27,700
The Shah of Iran at West Point secures
amnesty for cadets.

1296
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,740
You see, Bix, amnesty is a famous custom
up here.

1297
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,120
Royalty, heads of state, kings, queens,
all important diplomats, when visiting

1298
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,200
West Point, are given reviews in their
honor. They lay out the red carpet, and

1299
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:40,420
in return, they can request amnesty. A
pardon, remember?

1300
01:27:40,900 --> 01:27:42,720
Just like the princess bit in the show.

1301
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,440
Sure, last fall, the show of Iran.

1302
01:27:45,780 --> 01:27:49,480
A lot of us were slugged, couldn't go to
the Army -Navy game. He came up here

1303
01:27:49,480 --> 01:27:53,420
and got us off the hook. Well, if Donny
can do that for us, I'll have him up

1304
01:27:53,420 --> 01:27:55,620
here if I have to carry him all the way
from Washington on my back.

1305
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:57,850
Now. Trick is how to get in to see him.

1306
01:27:58,150 --> 01:28:01,770
Who do we know? My girl's mother knows
the Secretary of State. My uncle knows

1307
01:28:01,770 --> 01:28:03,830
General Eisenhower. My father knows
General Bradley.

1308
01:28:04,050 --> 01:28:06,090
I know Toots Shore, one of our best
officers.

1309
01:28:06,370 --> 01:28:09,390
Now, how many of you guys have we can
leave? All of us. All of us. Well, then,

1310
01:28:09,390 --> 01:28:10,390
pile in. Come on.

1311
01:28:10,530 --> 01:28:11,970
And you, sweetheart, hold the fort.

1312
01:28:13,630 --> 01:28:15,530
And I'll bring you a Frenchman.

1313
01:28:22,070 --> 01:28:24,370
But, David, the whole idea is absolutely
impossible.

1314
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,360
But, Dad, if you can't do this little
favor, what's the use of your being a

1315
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:29,360
senator?

1316
01:28:30,180 --> 01:28:31,300
Sometimes I wonder.

1317
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:33,920
I wonder myself.

1318
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:37,240
Yes.

1319
01:28:37,580 --> 01:28:42,480
Yes, sir. I know, sir, but... But will
you at least mention it to the Honorable

1320
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:43,480
Secretary of State?

1321
01:28:44,300 --> 01:28:46,240
Oh? He's in Europe?

1322
01:28:47,060 --> 01:28:48,480
Well, whereabouts in Europe?

1323
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,540
You can't just brush this off. This is
really important.

1324
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:57,400
And you sit there and tell me you can do
nothing.

1325
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,660
I've tried my best, Mr. Bixby. But the
premier is locked up in conference with

1326
01:29:01,660 --> 01:29:02,519
the president.

1327
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,000
He said he's very sorry, but it is
impossible for him to see it.

1328
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,520
A fine way to treat a taxpayer.

1329
01:29:08,780 --> 01:29:09,780
Come on.

1330
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:12,120
Hello?

1331
01:29:14,540 --> 01:29:17,860
Charlie and I waited outside the French
embassy all day. Then we find out the

1332
01:29:17,860 --> 01:29:19,980
premier went directly from the White
House to New York.

1333
01:29:20,220 --> 01:29:21,640
Well, then we go to New York. Driver.

1334
01:29:22,030 --> 01:29:23,030
Take us to the airport. Yes.

1335
01:29:54,940 --> 01:29:56,920
This is very tragic, monsieur.

1336
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:00,720
But it is impossible for his excellency
to see you. He's very busy.

1337
01:30:01,940 --> 01:30:03,520
Ah, votre excellence.

1338
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:05,160
Monsieur le premier.

1339
01:30:05,580 --> 01:30:07,240
C 'est très, très important.

1340
01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:09,120
I speak English, monsieur.

1341
01:30:09,440 --> 01:30:12,800
Oh, then you know what this mission is
all about. Yes, and it leaves me in the

1342
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:13,900
most embarrassing position.

1343
01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,780
Well, your excellency, I don't want to
take up your time to tell you about the

1344
01:30:17,780 --> 01:30:19,840
hundreds of G .I .s and cadets up at
West Point.

1345
01:30:20,220 --> 01:30:23,620
who fought to help liberate France and
of their great, great friendship with

1346
01:30:23,620 --> 01:30:24,339
French people.

1347
01:30:24,340 --> 01:30:27,340
Yes, but the protocol, monsieur, I'm a
guest of your country.

1348
01:30:27,580 --> 01:30:31,360
Your State Department has made plans for
me. I know, Excellency.

1349
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,740
But these cadets need liberation now.

1350
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:38,140
And you are the one man in the country
who can ask for amnesty and get it. You

1351
01:30:38,140 --> 01:30:39,140
just can't refuse.

1352
01:30:39,620 --> 01:30:43,600
If the French people hear about this,
oh, and these things do have a way of

1353
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:44,299
getting back.

1354
01:30:44,300 --> 01:30:48,060
Monsieur, I'm very sorry, but it is
absolutely impossible.

1355
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:49,920
Impossible.

1356
01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:55,860
Well didn't want to do this and I'm very
sorry I have to flash that on you

1357
01:30:55,860 --> 01:31:15,380
Medal

1358
01:31:15,380 --> 01:31:18,480
military in a foreign capacity. This is our
highest decoration

1359
01:31:20,940 --> 01:31:24,440
This courageous man was decorated with
the highest decorations for his

1360
01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:25,500
services rendered to France.

1361
01:31:25,720 --> 01:31:29,500
You have to find a reward. I
understand, your excellency, but this

1362
01:31:29,500 --> 01:31:32,160
not possible. You don't have enough
time. You have to try.

1363
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:33,880
Good.

1364
01:31:34,420 --> 01:31:36,560
Somewhere or another, sir, it will
be a ranch.

1365
01:31:36,860 --> 01:31:39,100
I shall be very glad to be of service.

1366
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:40,400
Merci, merci.

1367
01:31:42,540 --> 01:31:43,540
Vive la France.

1368
01:31:44,060 --> 01:31:45,060
Merci.

1369
01:31:45,500 --> 01:31:46,860
I didn't know you spoke French.

1370
01:31:47,140 --> 01:31:49,100
I picked it up from a chick at the
Folies -Bergère.

1371
01:32:35,010 --> 01:32:38,530
Your request for amnesty shall be
granted. Je vous remercie, monsieur.

1372
01:32:38,790 --> 01:32:40,570
C 'est tout à fait aimable de votre
part. Merci.

1373
01:32:45,450 --> 01:32:50,150
You saved him, Bix. You saved him.

1374
01:32:51,670 --> 01:32:55,890
You know, I like kissing you much better
than I do the premiere.

1375
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:08,240
Do I have to, Curtsy?

1376
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,800
My girl's out there. My father and
mother are out there, too.

1377
01:33:12,020 --> 01:33:13,520
I'll never live this down.

1378
01:33:13,780 --> 01:33:16,380
Couldn't I just bow and destroy the
whole illusion?

1379
01:33:16,620 --> 01:33:19,700
Come on, chin up, princess, and suck up
that royal gut.

1380
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:44,780
The princess has arrived.

1381
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,460
You love me.

1382
01:34:00,480 --> 01:34:02,760
You love me.

1383
01:34:04,780 --> 01:34:06,500
The miracle...

1384
01:34:14,060 --> 01:34:19,560
In every dream you seem so unattainable.

1385
01:34:20,800 --> 01:34:23,360
It's not explainable.

1386
01:34:24,660 --> 01:34:27,080
And yet you're mine.

1387
01:34:27,540 --> 01:34:29,160
You're mine.

1388
01:34:30,140 --> 01:34:32,780
Believe me. Jan's back.

1389
01:34:33,360 --> 01:34:36,300
Relax, princess. You gotta reprieve.

1390
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:39,460
I'm sure...

1391
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:45,440
deceive me.

1392
01:34:45,660 --> 01:34:51,740
And even if you never say it,

1393
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,200
this I know is true.

1394
01:34:55,800 --> 01:35:01,260
You love me just as I

1395
01:35:12,910 --> 01:35:14,390
with this show on Broadway tonight?

1396
01:35:15,770 --> 01:35:17,330
It isn't going to open on Broadway.

1397
01:35:18,030 --> 01:35:19,030
It never will.

1398
01:35:19,890 --> 01:35:22,310
When that curtain goes down tonight,
they'll stick it in the archives.

1399
01:35:23,590 --> 01:35:26,190
For all the future I have, they might
just as well stick me with it.

1400
01:35:27,750 --> 01:35:31,550
How do you like it, Vicks, huh? Oh, you
look fine, son, fine.

1401
01:35:32,250 --> 01:35:34,010
Don't go far away. You'll be on in a few
minutes.

1402
01:35:34,230 --> 01:35:35,230
Okay, Vicks.

1403
01:35:41,900 --> 01:35:43,220
I've been mulling this thing over.

1404
01:35:43,780 --> 01:35:48,440
If that job in Las Vegas is still open,
I suggest you grab it.

1405
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:50,280
Las Vegas?

1406
01:35:51,540 --> 01:35:54,000
Vicks, I'm your memory. I'm your feet.

1407
01:35:54,540 --> 01:35:56,060
You can't work without me.

1408
01:35:56,900 --> 01:36:00,840
Work? In a few minutes, I'm going to be
out of a job.

1409
01:36:01,220 --> 01:36:03,520
And jobs are going to be awfully scarce
on Broadway.

1410
01:36:04,580 --> 01:36:05,580
Especially for me.

1411
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:06,880
You can say that again.

1412
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:09,840
You've double -crossed me again.

1413
01:36:10,620 --> 01:36:14,200
Tom was almost busted out of this place,
and you got him back in. Now, why?

1414
01:36:14,700 --> 01:36:18,620
Because the kid wants to graduate from
West Point. Being in the Army means more

1415
01:36:18,620 --> 01:36:19,940
to him than anything else in the world.

1416
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,220
Didn't want to see his career ruined.
Couldn't have it on my conscience.

1417
01:36:23,480 --> 01:36:24,480
Your conscience?

1418
01:36:24,740 --> 01:36:26,380
Oh, that's a laugh.

1419
01:36:26,720 --> 01:36:28,100
Now, let me tell you something.

1420
01:36:28,620 --> 01:36:32,060
I asked them to give me this play to do
on Broadway, and I'm going to get it,

1421
01:36:32,100 --> 01:36:34,380
but you're not going to do it. And do
you know why?

1422
01:36:35,020 --> 01:36:38,080
Because you double -crossed me for the
last time.

1423
01:36:38,430 --> 01:36:41,090
You're through. You're dead. You're
washed up.

1424
01:36:41,370 --> 01:36:43,970
You'll never work in show business again
as long as you live.

1425
01:36:44,190 --> 01:36:45,190
I'll see to that.

1426
01:36:45,990 --> 01:36:48,470
I'm through. I'm all washed up. For
good.

1427
01:36:48,850 --> 01:36:50,950
In that case, I've got nothing to lose.

1428
01:37:14,220 --> 01:37:15,480
How do you feel? You think you'll be
able to go on?

1429
01:37:16,140 --> 01:37:17,140
I think.

1430
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:18,160
You think?

1431
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:19,440
Well, get on your feet and see how you
are.

1432
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,660
What is it? My knee.

1433
01:37:22,940 --> 01:37:23,940
Your knee?

1434
01:37:24,580 --> 01:37:26,880
Well, Punch Happy, what do we do now?

1435
01:37:27,860 --> 01:37:28,860
Go get ready.

1436
01:37:44,430 --> 01:37:46,070
San Francisco, sir. You?

1437
01:37:46,350 --> 01:37:47,590
Well, I'm from Texas.

1438
01:37:48,170 --> 01:37:49,710
How about you? Los Angeles.

1439
01:37:50,410 --> 01:37:51,830
You? I'm from Boston.

1440
01:37:52,330 --> 01:37:55,630
I, uh, I suppose you're not interested
in hearing where I come from.

1441
01:37:55,870 --> 01:37:59,410
What? I said I suppose you're not
interested in hearing where I come from.

1442
01:38:00,010 --> 01:38:01,570
All right, where are you from?

1443
01:38:02,050 --> 01:38:08,710
Me? I am from... B -postrophe, A -no
-postrophe, L -Y -N.

1444
01:38:09,730 --> 01:38:13,090
They know my shield from Ebbetsfield,
too.

1445
01:38:14,399 --> 01:38:17,060
Cheyenne, you can keep those other
places.

1446
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:24,480
Just give me that oasis where it's earl,
not oil, and a girl's a girl, and girls

1447
01:38:24,480 --> 01:38:26,320
are girls at 28 Pacey.

1448
01:38:30,740 --> 01:38:32,300
That's a place they make me home in.

1449
01:38:36,340 --> 01:38:37,700
That's a spot out in Wyoming.

1450
01:38:43,610 --> 01:38:48,730
They will gladly yell, we are not
Chanel, but Chanel don't spell quite

1451
01:38:48,730 --> 01:38:53,390
Gowaners. P -P -P -K -O -P -P -L -Y -N.

1452
01:38:53,630 --> 01:38:55,150
Hey, your mother wears suspenders.

1453
01:38:55,590 --> 01:38:59,910
Agree or not, we're just as hot as I am.

1454
01:39:00,190 --> 01:39:05,450
And when they ask, are you going my way,
they're asking you to take a walk up

1455
01:39:05,450 --> 01:39:06,450
King's Highway.

1456
01:39:06,670 --> 01:39:08,450
P -P -P -K -O -P -P -L -Y -N.

1457
01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:26,740
It could only happen in Brooklyn.

1458
01:39:28,740 --> 01:39:30,660
On a street called Avenue D.

1459
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,600
If you've never been there, you'll tell
me it can't.

1460
01:39:36,180 --> 01:39:37,920
You'll tell me it's fantastic.

1461
01:39:40,940 --> 01:39:42,420
This happened to me.

1462
01:39:44,620 --> 01:39:46,480
I was walking down to the subway.

1463
01:39:48,420 --> 01:39:50,840
Yeah, I, uh, I traveled by BMT.

1464
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:57,460
when I bumped right into a fabulous
wench from some other century.

1465
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:02,380
Yes, this happened to me.

1466
01:40:04,300 --> 01:40:08,720
What a lucky break that she was going my
way.

1467
01:40:09,320 --> 01:40:14,600
As we scrolled down King's Highway, she
murmured,

1468
01:40:14,660 --> 01:40:17,020
C 'est l 'amour.

1469
01:40:17,380 --> 01:40:18,660
And I asked her,

1470
01:40:19,690 --> 01:40:22,450
Are you sure? It could only happen in
Brooklyn.

1471
01:40:24,490 --> 01:40:31,050
When a he meets up with a she, they get
hitched, and after the honeymoon, bam,

1472
01:40:31,290 --> 01:40:33,270
they're raising a fam.

1473
01:40:33,750 --> 01:40:38,390
Well, Lee, this should happen to me.

1474
01:42:26,189 --> 01:42:31,730
Where it's Earl, not oil, and a -goil,
da -goil, and goil, da -goil, that's 28

1475
01:42:31,730 --> 01:42:32,730
paces.

1476
01:42:43,660 --> 01:42:45,880
It matters not what stuff you've been
reading.

1477
01:42:46,580 --> 01:42:52,240
Brooklyn is the USA's Garden of Eden.
Oh, be possibly, be no possibly.

1478
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:53,600
What?

1479
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:55,120
Listen. Who said that?

1480
01:42:55,380 --> 01:42:56,380
We. No.

1481
01:42:56,920 --> 01:42:58,020
Can I say?

1482
01:42:58,320 --> 01:42:59,380
Be possibly.

1483
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:28,140
Wonderful, Eve. Oh, Bixby, you were
great.

1484
01:43:28,500 --> 01:43:31,260
Terrific. Thanks, Uncle. How do you
feel? Fine. They go around? Sure.

1485
01:43:31,540 --> 01:43:34,740
You able to do the finale? Right. Thanks
for going on for me. Don't thank him.

1486
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:35,860
The ham loved it.

1487
01:43:36,440 --> 01:43:38,940
Bixby! All is well?

1488
01:43:39,260 --> 01:43:41,680
Oh, better than that. That's fine,
Princess, fine.

1489
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:43,700
Just call me Mrs. Second Lieutenant.

1490
01:43:44,300 --> 01:43:46,940
I think we'll be stationed in Brooklyn.
Oh, still better.

1491
01:43:47,180 --> 01:43:50,280
Miss Eve Dillon and Mr. Elwin Bixby.

1492
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,520
Bix, we really want to thank you.

1493
01:44:00,060 --> 01:44:01,680
West Point wants to thank you.

1494
01:44:02,140 --> 01:44:04,500
Once said you'd like to produce this
show on Broadway.

1495
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:09,400
Well, on behalf of the United States
Military Academy, we'd like to present

1496
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:15,440
with the book, Rudy, and the songs from
this 100th night show.

1497
01:44:16,340 --> 01:44:17,340
It's yours.

1498
01:44:18,260 --> 01:44:24,300
Take it with you and make it a hit.
Well, I just want to say that nothing

1499
01:44:24,300 --> 01:44:25,420
this has ever happened to me before.

1500
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:27,040
But then...

1501
01:44:27,860 --> 01:44:31,460
Ever since I've been up here, every
day's been Christmas for me.

1502
01:44:32,540 --> 01:44:35,480
Makes me think of a little fellow I used
to know in show business years ago.

1503
01:44:36,620 --> 01:44:37,620
Curious little guy.

1504
01:44:38,260 --> 01:44:44,440
What I'm trying to say is I'm deeply,
deeply grateful.

1505
01:45:05,680 --> 01:45:09,300
Here's the place we get to face your
cheers or hisses.

1506
01:45:09,920 --> 01:45:12,240
This is the finale.

1507
01:45:14,460 --> 01:45:20,580
In where the whole cast freezes,
Frisbee's reprisers are coming up.

1508
01:45:21,140 --> 01:45:24,780
A reprise is a thing that we sneak in
with.

1509
01:45:25,060 --> 01:45:28,220
We repeat the songs you hated to begin
with.

1510
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:33,740
By the kissing lap, by the kissing lap,
either night or...

1511
01:45:35,530 --> 01:45:41,190
You can't depend on this. It's always
time to kiss by the kissing rock.

1512
01:46:00,830 --> 01:46:02,530
That's the place I make me home in.

1513
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:13,700
I'll sure miss the going to classes.

1514
01:46:14,320 --> 01:46:15,380
Miss UK debts?

1515
01:46:15,620 --> 01:46:16,880
Yes, the brassies.

1516
01:46:17,340 --> 01:46:19,680
So take my thanks to all the ranks.

1517
01:46:20,300 --> 01:46:21,340
With love and kisses.
