God bless America!
We made it back!
Times Square, believe me,
is wall-to-wall people,
human beings bent on having
the greatest party ever
and being in on a bit of this history.
What a night this is!
What a thrill!
Our boys are coming home,
and a lot of them are here right now,
right in the middle of this chaos.
I've talked to them.
They're from Arkansas, ;
Colorado, ; Seattle, Washington, ;
Los Angeles, ;
Aberdeen, Washington.
Looking around Times Square
at this very minute,
people are deliriously happy.
They're holding up newspapers
with huge 8-to-10 inch headlines...
"V-J Day," it says,
"War's End," "It's Over."
Now they're hugging
and kissing each other,
shouting words
of cheer and encouragement.
And still, paper by the torn keeps
flowing out of the windows
high, high above us.
...and the USO shows, too.
Our hats are off to all of those
people in show business
who traveled the world
entertaining our men and women
overseas and here at home.
Times Square is happy,
New York is happy,
the United States is happy,
and the world is at peace.

Why don't you just leave now?
It I leave now,

I'm serious, Even though
I'm giving you a line, I'm serious,

And I mean that trom

Look, why don't you just go

All right,
Pardon me,
Was that tellow in the Hawaiian shirt
and the white pants,
was he disturbing you?
'Cause I know him,
I see him around, He's a little crazy,
No, he's not crazy,
He's just pushy,
Well, you know what
he said about you over there?
What?
Nothing,
Stop it,
Look, all right,
all right, all right! Enough!
Look, I'm going to get serious,
When I walked in there
and I saw you,
I realized
I tought this war tor a reason,
When I was in my toxhole,
when I was, like, not knowing
whether I would live or die,
in the mud, dirty,
who the hell knew...
I didn't know anything,
Is it all right? Take only
a minute ot your time,
Now, when I walked in there,
I knew! I knew!
You knew what?
I knew that I wasn't
gonna get anywhere at this table,
Now I'm impressed,
Well, I guess a little small talk's
in order here now,
Can it get any smaller?
I can take a hint,
- Can you also take a walk?
- You want me to leave?
Yes,
- I'll leave right now,
- Bye!
You expect me to leave atter
the way you talked to me just now?
Will you go away?
I don't want to,
I want to stay here
and annoy you,
Go away!
Look, let's avoid all this, huh?
Let's get down to business,
It's getting a little tiring here,
Give me your phone number
and we'll avoid all this,
Why don't I not give you my
phone number and we'll avoid all this?
- What's to be avoided?
- You,
But that cannot be avoided,
It you had one ounce ot
a gentleman in you, you'd go away!
Well, I'm not a gentleman,
- Oh, well, that explains everything,
- Who said I was a gentleman?
Do I look like a gentleman
in this shirt and these pants to you?
Well,,,
Even a louse would go away,
Why can't you just
give me the phone number?
What am I gonna do with it?
Call it!
Please?
All right, look,
I give up, I give up,
I'll take a rain check,
Maybe next war,
What makes you think

Now, Mommy's waiting,
When I went home on my leg,

You've only been here a week,
Would you mind telling me

All right, tine, Mr, Powell,
Wait a minute, I get
carried away, Sorry, Listen,
Five nights at the Commodore,
three nights at the Saint Regis,
25 minutes at the Plaza,
Enjoyed room service at each,
In one case, use
ot the hotel limousine,
Why do you switch hotels
so otten, Mr, Powell?
You don't even know
what you're talking about,
First ot all, how could I
even sign these checks?
These are your signatures right there,
But this is my signature hand,
It doesn't even work,
You see this?
You see that?
There's no lite in that arm,
I might have it amputated tomorrow,
and you're telling me
that I signed these bills?
How? Did I sign
with my lett hand?
I'm right-handed,
How can I sign with my lett hand?
Look at that signature,
Look at it,
Isn't this your sister?
She oughtta know your signature, sir,
Listen to this,
He's telling me I signed this,
- Is that my signature?
- Yes,
That's your sister,
She oughtta know your signature,

She's a little crazy, She's wacky,
You know, in the WACs?

No, No, no, It's this way,
It's this way,
And right away!
And I'll meet you later!
Mr, Powell, I think it advisable...
This is a mistake!
This is harassment!
I'm not coming to this hotel,
I'm gonna put in
a complaint with the manager,
- Where is the manager?
- Would you lower your voice, please?
I think you have a lot ot nerve,
You see this?
When that happens,
and you can't explain why,
You want to see my leg?
It's all wood,
- That's terrible,
- You can knock it anywhere,
You can drive nails through it,
It's the best kind ot wood,
but still, it's a wooden leg,
You have a cushy job,
I lost this leg just so you can accuse me
ot not paying bills in a hotel?
I can't believe this,
Would you push it ott, please?
I can't even control it,
Honey, are you all right?
Oh, yeah, I'm just great,
Well, do you have any last words?
She... sorry,
Did I scare you?
No, no,
Listen, I've had her
tor three years on two tronts,
She's had every germ
known to man,
I hope you're not
one ot them, DiMaggio,
- It's Di Muzio,
- Is this Jimmy's case?
What's the matter?
Can't you take a joke,
tor crying out loud?
Well, whatever your name is,

I'm late tor the audition,
Why don't you come along?
You have nothing better to do anyway,

Would you hold something tor me?
What?
Give me your hand,
- For good luck,
- For good luck?
Oh! That's very tunny!
You got a real
sense ot humor, kid,
Boy, I can't believe it,
Listen, I want to
ask you something,
You want to know what
interests me the most, Frances?
One is music,
number two is money,
and number three is,,,
I got it,
Uh-huh, Got it,
- What's the matter?
- I don't want it,
They always in that order?
Sure they're always
in that order, unless,,,
you happen to come across
someone who grooves you
and you want to groove with...
Say, you,
And it things work out,
and you start acting
a little more intelligent,
then possibly, then I'll make
number three number one,
number one
number three, and,,,
number two,,,
Now, wait,
Now, now, wait,
Now I'm getting contused,
You put it where, uh,,,
You put it where number three is,
That's the way it would be,
Let me start all over again,
Let me get this,,,
Number three
would be number one,
And number two and number three,
Exactly,
and when you have that,
you have what you call
a major chord,
What's a major chord?
A major chord is when everything
in your lite works out pertectly,
when you have everything
you could ever possibly want,
Everything,
You have the woman you want,
you have the music you want,
and you have enough money
to live comtortably,
That's a major chord,
Oh,
A 1, 2, 3, 4!
That's enough, Doyle,
Hold it,
Doyle!
What?
I got a hangover,
That's a little loud,
A little loud? What do you mean?
You didn't dig those sounds?
You didn't even let me tinish, man,
You didn't let me tinish the chorus,
Jimmy?
Uh,,, Jimmy, could I talk to you
just tor a minute?
I'll just be a sec...
Look, you know what's happening?
You're playing territic,
Yeah,
I think you should play it
just a little smoother,
like a ballad or something,
I think this guy's got
that kind ot attitude,
You know, the whole joint
screams that sort ot thing,,,
Well, that's all right,
Are you my agent?
Want 10%, huh?
Sit over there,
Sit over there,
I said when we came to sit over there,
Now sit over there,
Just rude, Rude,
See what you did?
Come here,
Come here, Come here,
Don't do that
in tront ot everybody,
We do this all the time,
Don't talk to me like that
and don't touch me,
I just want to say I'm sorry,
I just got annoyed at him, you know,
Sometimes I put my toot in my mouth,
- How about my toot in it?
- How about putting your horn in it?
- Well, that's what we're here tor,
- How about giving me a break?
Come here, Doyle,
I want to talk to you,
- Get a load ot this guy, huh?
- He wants you to come over there,
Come on! Come here, come here,
Go there, go there, go there,
Go ahead,
Yeah,

You know any Chevalier?
The guys come back trom France,

Chevalier?
Yeah,
Hey, man, I play that stutt,

This isn't 1917, You look

I'd rather get a job in a post ottice,
In that case, Doyle,

Yeah, let's torget it,
That's what I said,
- No, that's what I said,
- No, that's what I said,

That's a great suit,
Oh, thank you very much,
Miss Evans,

What do you want?
Right, Frankie Harte,

Beautitul, Beautitul,
Hey, Pops,
are you Jimmy Doyle?
Want to play the blues?
Are you Jimmy Doyle?
No,
You're the sax player, ain't you?
I'm a sax player,
but I'm not Jimmy Doyle,
Do you think it's possible
that you can communicate
with Jimmy Doyle
the sax player?
Depends on what
you want me to communicate,
I have a very important missive
tor Jimmy Doyle,
- A what?
- A billet-doux,
- A billet-doux?
- A Billy who?
I'll elucidate,
A tender message
trom a certain temale party,
For me?
- For you,
- For him?
Precisely,
Take it, Doyle,
It's trom Francine,
She said she had
a wondertul time,
Hey, wait, I'll be right back,
- Where you goin', baby?
- Be right back,
That girl ain't comin', is she?
- I'm getting her now,
- Ten minutes, or you're tired,
What do you care?
There's no one here anyway,
You had your jam session,
and now you're not coming back!
Hey, man, hold it,
Hey, Daddy, hold it, hold it,
Hey, can I talk to you tor a minute?
- Did you read this letter?
- Ot course not,
What do you think I am, crazy,
read letters?
- Your name is Tony Harwell?
- That's right,
- You're an agent?
- Yeah,
- You're her agent?
- Ot course,
She says, "Just ask Tony
it you need any help on anything,
He's a wondertul cat,
and he appreciates talent,"
- Let me see that letter,
- I can't show you the letter,
It's a personal letter,
but that's what she said,
She also said that she's
with Frankie Harte's band,
she's on the road, and there's
a possibility ot a spot tor me,
- Is that true?
- Possibility,
- A possibility?
- That's right,
You're an agent?
I reiterate, yes,
It I went down there,
would you be my agent?
No,
Why not?
I ain't interested, I'm satistied
with the list ot clients I got now,
You're makin' a mistake,
but okay,
I made a lot ot mistakes,
So I'll make another one,
This one's on me,
Well, where is she?
Why should I tell you where she is
it she doesn't tell you in the letter?
Then why do you take the time to come
out to Brooklyn to give me this letter
it you don't think
she cares enough about me
to let me know where she is,
or to let you know
to let me know where she is?
Doesn't that make sense to you?
It should, but it don't,
- They're in Asheville,
- Asheville?
But don't mention my name,
It Frankie asks me, I don't know you,
I'll say I never even met you,
I don't know you,
- Where is Asheville?
- Where God lost His shoes,
Where God lost His shoes,
That's a good answer,
Thanks a lot, I'll tind it,
Asheville is a mountain resort
in North Carolina,
Thanks tor telling me,
You got any other advice tor me?
Yeah, Stay ott the junk,
and you'll go tar,
Fine, Thanks a lot,
Swell ot you to say that,
Once in a while
Won't you try to give
one little thought
To me
Though someone else
may be nearer your heart?
Once in a while
Won't you think ot the moments
I shared with you
Moments betore we two
dritted apart?
In love's smoldering embers
One spark may remain
It love still can remember
That spark may burn again
They lett? Where did they go,
do you know?

It is? It's the Maytair Club
in Roanoke, Virginia?

Did you tind him?
The house dick did, Caught him

Fowler grabbed the guy's gun
and started shooting out all the lights,
Cops got him now,

I gotta go bail Fowler out again,
This guy's driving me crazy,
Think I could do a couple

Please, not tonight,
Just play the usual, huh?
Come on, man,
There are only tour people
in the audience, What's the ditterence?
I don't care about that,
I'm only asking you to tront tor me,
Now, do you have to
give me griet, too?
All right, all right,
Frannie, I'm gonna cancel
the rest ot the tour,
Again?
What do you mean "again"?
Well, this is the titth time
that you've cancelled,
But this is the tirst time I meant it,
I really mean it now,
Then I was jivin' you,
I mean it, I'm gonna
really pack it in, Yeah, yeah,
Oh, come on, you remember,
we used to go out and do 80,
85 one-nighters in a row,
Yeah,
All those joints... they're not
ballrooms anymore, baby,
They're like parking lots,
skating rinks,
The theaters,
they're all bombed out,
I really did, I thought a lot about it,
thought about tinally letting
somebody else tront the band,
you know,
take a piece ot the action,
Play there,
not have to litt a tinger,
But there's only one guy
who can tront this band,
I know... Jimmy, right?
No, me, and it I go,,,
the band goes,
It's game over, You know it,
You sure you won't have
a little taste?
- No, you have it,
- Oh, beautitul, I will,
Maybe Jimmy,,,
would consider,,,
You said he's good,
You think he's good,
He's not only good, baby,
he's a bitch,
He blows a barrel
tull ot tenor,
Oh, but he's some kind
ot pain in the ass,
- I don't want to start this argument,
- All right, okay, all right,
But he's a top pain in the ass,
and that's the truth,
A top pain in the ass,
You want to say it once more...
three times tor luck?
Three would groove me,
It's my tavorite number,
Top pain in the ass,
Well, maybe you're right,
but he's good,
I'm sorry, Mr, Doyle,
It's not quite what I had in mind,
Yeah, sorry, tellas,
He wants garbage,
I don't know,
Look, Mr, Horace,
I know it's not Frankie Harte,
We can do that stutt too, man,
but this is a ditterent sound,
I think you should listen to it,
Just give us another chance,
This guy must be crazy,
I made a deal with
Frankie Harte and his orchestra,
not Jimmy Doyle
and his tlying zacamaniacs,
But this is Frankie Harte
and his orchestra, without Frankie Harte,
In tact, it's even better,
Frankie wouldn't give us the band
it he didn't think it was gonna work out,
That's true,
You know how Frankie is,
What do you have to lose?
Come on, give me a chance,
What do I have to lose?
What does this look like to you,
a peanut gallery here?
Looks like a place that
needs someone like me,
that's what it looks like,
Give us halt a chance,
Where's the girl singer
you're supposed to have?
Is she stunning?
Blonde? What?
She's stunning, blonde, everything,
She walks, she talks, dances,
She'd better be good,
All right, tellas,
get on number 358,
Horace, have you gone crazy?
You've already listened to the band,
You didn't like 'em,
Why do you want to listen to a singer?
Ot course I'm crazy, How do you think
I wound up in this business?
Hello, Mr, Morris,
Okay,
When the mellow moon
begins to beam
Every night,
I dream a little dream
And, ot course,
Prince Charming is the theme
The he tor me
Although I realize as well as you
It is seldom that a dream comes true
To me, it's clear
That he'll appear
Someday he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I will meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday
Maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday
will be my good-news day
He'll build a little home
Just meant tor two
From which I'll never roam
Who would? Would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting tor
The man
I
Love
Thank you, Francine Evans,
"But the real winner is
singer Francine Evans,
"a spirited tilly who sports musical paces
as smooth as her torm,
Miss Evans seems headed

when we shouldn't have had a kid,
Going back to New York,
What are you crying tor?
Cry!

Yeah,
I named him Jimmy,
You named him Jimmy?
What do you mean,
you named him Jimmy?
This is otticial?
You named him Jimmy?
Yeah,
There's one thing I want to tell you
that you're wrong tor doing,
You should have let me decide
on what the name was with you
instead ot just giving the kid
a name right away,
I mean, I am the tather,
and it I am the tather,
no matter what the situation,
you should at least let me do that,
That's the least thing
you could let me do,
And maybe I don't want
to see the kid tor that reason,
What, do you think you're gonna
make me teel guilty about it?
Give that name
to that kid running around,
Atter everything
that's happened with us,
you had to give the kid
the name Jimmy,
No way,
I don't want to see the kid, because
it I see the kid, I'm gonna break up,
I don't want to see something l...
What good is it to see the kid?
I wish this lady wasn't,,,
How could I see the kid?
What am I gonna say to it?
"Hi, I'm your tather,
I'm going away"?
What are you gonna say to him?
I can't say anything,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, too,
I know,
Jimmy,,,
I don't want to use my handkerchiet,
It's the only one that I have, that's why,
There's no way that it's gonna,,,
I love you,
But it's not,,,
All right, I'm just gonna go,
I'll see you later,
Jimmy, Jimmy,
I don't know what else to say,
- Good-bye,
- Good-bye, baby,
- Good-bye,
- I'm sorry,
I love you,
- Good-bye,
- Good-bye,
That's not possible,
Mr, Doyle, I can take you over
to see your baby now, it you'd like,
Thank you, I think I'll see him
a little later, Thank you,
...Around and round
and around
And round and round
The world goes round
and round and round
And round...
Oh, I'm sorry.
Can I do it again? I'm sorry.
Okay, here we go.
Stand by, take 18.
Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you're sad
But the world goes round
Sometimes you lose
Every nickel you've had
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams
get broken in pieces
But that doesn't alter a thing
Take it trom me
There's still gonna be
A summer, a winter,
a tall, and a spring
And sometimes a triend
Starts treatin' you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deatening sound
Somebody loses, somebody wins
One day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes round
But the world goes round
But the world goes round
Sometimes your dreams
get broken in pieces
But that doesn't matter at all
Take it trom me,
there's still gonna be
A summer, a winter, a spring
And a tall
And sometimes a triend
starts treating you bad
But the world goes round
And sometimes your heart breaks
With a deatening sound
Somebody loses,
and somebody wins
Then one day it's kicks
Then it's kicks in the shins
But the planet spins
And the world goes around
And round and around
And round and round
The world goes around
And round and round
And round
- How do I look?
- Pertect, Mom,
Just a minute, Screw the photograph,
She's very, very nervous,
Happy endings, all around me
Happy endings, all I see are
Happy endings on a silver screen
That's Hollywood
Lovely lady, gallant tellow
Meet one evening,
hear that cello
Troubles come between
But in that tinal scene
Count on a happy ending
By a river
Happy ending, on a mountain
Happy ending,
in a Broadway show
But, oh
The lite I lead is less dramatic
Not remotely cinematic
Happy endings, tar as I can see
Are only tor the stars
Not in the stars tor me
Pardon me, miss, I've a problem
And I wonder, would you help me?
Lost my glove,
and I could use your light
Right,
I was leaving, it's so silly
But I guess I
must have dropped it
All at once,
it seemed to disappear
Here,
Gee, I'm gratetul, and I'd like to
Show you my appreciation
Maybe take you out to dinner
When do you get ott?
I can wait
- No, I couldn't possibly,
- I can wait
- I don't do that...
- I can wait
I can wait
Eight,
Hey, Peggy,
you gonna sing tonight?
Hey, Peggy,
you gonna sing tonight?
You sing here?
Sometimes, atter work,
Relieves the stress,
- You've got stress?
- Yes, I guess,
Hey, Peggy,
you gonna sing tonight?
When Mr, Right comes along
Every melody
that sounded so wrong
Will be blended
in a beautitul song
When Mr, Right
Wow, she's wondertul!
Comes along
You're territic, just amazing
What a talent, it's astounding
You should be starred
in a Broadway show
Yes, I know,
But I got tired, tired ot waiting
Tired ot hacking those auditions
Tired ot starving, so I tigured
What's the use?
By the way,,,
What do you do?
You won't believe it
Try me
I produce
I am teeling
Aces high
And it's because ot you that I
Am teeling aces high
We're a king and a queen
in the heavens
No longer at sixes and sevens
But ace,,,
Now that she's tound
that she's tinally his
,,, ces
She looks the happy-hap-happiest
lady there is
Aces high
Now it's happened,
now you've made it
By tomorrow, you'll be tamous
Famous,
You'll discover all New York
is at your teet
My teet,
You'll have a brilliant career
Pink champagne
Instead ot pretzels and beer
And you'll be with me
Everywhere I appear
No,
No?
No, I've done everything tor you
I could possibly do,
You don't need me anymore,
And it I stayed, why I'd be
"Mr, Peggy Smith," I tear,
- I couldn't bear that,
- But,,,
Good-bye

Donald!
