00:05:29I'm good.
00:05:35Hit me.
00:05:37Hit me.
00:05:38Sure.
00:05:40What'll it be?
00:05:42Do you have a menu?
00:05:43Sure.
00:05:59Well, what'll it be?
00:06:02Uh, donut and coffee, please.
00:06:25You forgot the tax.
00:06:27Huh?
00:06:28A penny for the governor.
00:06:31Oh, I didn't know about the tax.
00:06:34Go on, keep it.
00:06:36Who needs freeways?
00:06:38She's a little confused.
00:06:40I think it's the gasoline tax that goes to the freeways.
00:06:44I think.
00:06:46Oh?
00:06:47Could you do me a favor?
00:06:49I can't eat this and we'll march.
00:06:51She raises a fuss if I don't.
00:06:53She hates to see anything go to waste.
00:06:55And especially since it's already paid for.
00:06:58Honest, I just can't.
00:06:59No.
00:07:01Thanks.
00:07:08Say, are you a musician?
00:07:11Well, now, I wouldn't go as far as to say that.
00:07:13Oh, you just keep your laundry in there, huh?
00:07:17Oh, no.
00:07:18That's a guitar, right?
00:07:20I read somewhere how many thousands of kids come to Hollywood each year, but I forgot the exact number.
00:07:26Well, I don't expect it to be a breeze right off the bat.
00:07:30That's good.
00:07:31What's your edge?
00:07:32Hmm?
00:07:33Well, to get anywhere in show business, you have to have a gimmick or you have to know somebody.
00:07:38I've got a letter from the manager of the radio station at Spearfish.
00:07:44That's where I used to play and sing.
00:07:46Spearfish?
00:07:47Spearfish.
00:07:48Spearfish?
00:07:50Spearfish?
00:07:51Spearfish.
00:07:51Spearfish.
00:07:53Where's that?
00:07:57In South Dakota.
00:07:59Who's the letter to?
00:08:01Nobody in particular.
00:08:03Do you want to see it?
00:08:03To whom it may concern, forget it.
00:08:07That isn't going to help.
00:08:09You can listen to her.
00:08:10She knows what she's talking about.
00:08:11Hey, are you in show business?
00:08:14She sure is.
00:08:15Really?
00:08:16Maybe I haven't heard of you.
00:08:18Hardly.
00:08:19I'm still trying to get my foot in the door and I was born here.
00:08:25Gee, if a pretty girl like you.
00:08:27Well, I mean, if you can't.
00:08:31But this is the year for boy singers, especially with a guitar.
00:08:35That's the gimmick for it.
00:08:37Do you really think so?
00:08:39Sure.
00:08:40Say, how would you like to get started on your career right now?
00:08:46You mean to sing right here?
00:08:48Hardly.
00:08:49I'm on my way to the Hell Kenton TV program.
00:08:52How'd you like to come along?
00:08:53That's swell.
00:08:54I can show Mr. Kenton my letter.
00:08:57Evie, tickle to death.
00:08:59Come on, let's go.
00:09:01Say, you can't take that with you.
00:09:07That'll put the tour's take on you for sure.
00:09:10Say, Marge, could he, uh...
00:09:12Sure.
00:09:14Thanks, I'll pick it up later.
00:09:16Come to think of it, I don't even know your name.
00:09:19I'm Bud.
00:09:20Bud Eagle.
00:09:20Spelled just like the bird.
00:09:22An Indian name, huh?
00:09:24It was way back.
00:09:25I'm Vicky Lill.
00:09:26I just love kids.
00:09:39And now, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Vicky Will.
00:09:42Go.
00:09:42Boom!
00:09:43Go!
00:10:47You're on next.
00:10:50I feel sick.
00:10:52You don't have time to get sick, boy.
00:10:53You're on this next commercial.
00:10:55I'm sorry.
00:10:56I feel sick.
00:10:59I feel terrible.
00:11:03Lou, wait.
00:11:05You are terrific.
00:11:07I was a little nervous.
00:11:09Hal?
00:11:10Hal, we're in trouble.
00:11:13Now what?
00:11:14Our next spot ran out on us.
00:11:16What?
00:11:18He was scared to death.
00:11:19I couldn't stop him, Hal.
00:11:20Well, think of something.
00:11:21I'm not going to stand here with egg on my face.
00:11:23Do something.
00:11:24Quick.
00:11:25Get somebody.
00:11:26Who?
00:11:27Mr. Kenton.
00:11:29Not now, kid.
00:11:30Not now.
00:11:31I've got a singer for you.
00:11:32What?
00:11:33Well, he's right here, and he's very good.
00:11:35Now, wait a minute, honey.
00:11:37Oh, he's come hundreds of miles to be here.
00:11:39Hey, Bud, come here.
00:11:40Well, okay, put him on.
00:11:45The devil do we care.
00:11:46We can always go back to unemployment.
00:11:49Well, you all got the message.
00:11:51Now go out and buy a closet full.
00:11:53As you all know, this show of ours is a sort of catch-as-catch-can affair
00:11:57with everything up for grabs.
00:12:00Our kids don't even rehearse.
00:12:02They just audition and then go on.
00:12:04Now, tonight, we're going to bring you somebody that didn't even audition.
00:12:07As a matter of fact, I don't even know his name.
00:12:10So let's bring him on with a big hand.
00:12:12Come on, kid, you're off.
00:12:13What, your guitar?
00:12:20Hurry up.
00:12:21Do you have a nice trip?
00:12:42What's your name, son?
00:12:43My name's Bud Eagle.
00:12:44Well, I see you brought along your own band.
00:12:47Let's fly.
00:12:52What are you doing to me?
00:12:54I'm going to love you, baby.
00:12:59Yes, I will.
00:13:03Because you opened my eyes and gave me such a thrill.
00:13:10Well, everybody said I was a roving kind, but I guess you made me change my mind.
00:13:17I'm going to love you, baby.
00:13:19I'm going to love you, baby.
00:13:20Yes, I will.

00:13:28I don't want no one unless that one is you.
00:13:33I want to tell you about all the things you do.
00:13:43About those chills you give me through and through.
00:13:47Oh, you're so sweet and you're so kind.

00:19:58Well I'll try to pay you back
00:20:00Sure you will

00:20:33I see
00:20:34You know
00:20:35Being a star
00:20:37Is serious business
00:20:38It's going to take a lot of your time
00:20:40A star
00:20:42That's right
00:20:43Now you get used to the idea
00:20:44Now you hit the sack now

00:20:57Well there's somebody there waiting for me
00:21:00Now look kid
00:21:03Let's get something straight right now
00:21:05When I told you that I do the thinking
00:21:07That's exactly what I meant
00:21:08Well sure Mike
00:21:09Don't give me that
00:21:10You're the one that wants to be a star
00:21:12Not me
00:21:13When do you want to start working at it?
00:21:15Tomorrow?
00:21:16Next week?
00:21:16Next month?
00:21:17Or right now?
00:21:19Well it'll only take me an hour
00:21:20Okay kid
00:21:24Do what you want to do
00:21:25Thanks Mike
00:21:28I'll be right back
00:21:29Not to me
00:21:31You won't
00:21:31You can take your guitar with you
00:21:33Looks like we'll
00:21:35Get ourselves another boy
00:21:37I don't understand Mike
00:21:42Well now that we're quits
00:21:47Let me explain it to you
00:21:49You think I made a big thing
00:21:51Out of picking up that suitcase
00:21:53Oh yeah
00:21:54That's right I did
00:21:56An hour more or less isn't important
00:21:59That's what I said
00:22:01But it told me something
00:22:03It told me that you weren't ready to take orders
00:22:06If I had an interview or an appointment
00:22:09Or a recording session
00:22:11I couldn't be sure that you'd be there
00:22:13Oh but I would Mr. McCauley
00:22:15Honest
00:22:16If you thought it was important
00:22:17No
00:22:18Who's to say what's important in this business
00:22:21Now I'd like you bud
00:22:24Or you wouldn't be here
00:22:25But I can't afford to take less than 100% cooperation
00:22:29Now
00:22:30Good luck to you
00:22:33And I hope you make it
00:22:35Mr. McCauley
00:22:45Would you please give me one more chance
00:22:50Do you really want it?
00:22:53Yes sir
00:22:54No more arguments
00:22:55No nothing
00:22:57Only what you tell me
00:22:59You got yourself a deal
00:23:04And you tell that girl of yours
00:23:09I bet she'll be happy
00:23:10When she sees all those new suits
00:23:12We're going to get for you tomorrow
00:23:13Oh she's not my girl

00:24:40I don't want nobody
00:24:41Getting to him
00:24:42Vicki
00:24:52Are you still here?
00:24:57Honey
00:24:58I should have been closed
00:24:59Ten minutes ago
00:25:00I'm sorry Marge
00:25:03And you've got to get home
00:25:05I wonder what could have happened to him
00:25:07Nothing's happened to him
00:25:08We're closed
00:25:20Where's Bud?
00:25:22You got a suitcase here
00:25:23You work for Mike McCauley
00:25:25Don't you?
00:25:26So
00:25:26Well I'm Vicki Wills
00:25:29I was on the Hellcaten TV program tonight
00:25:32So what?
00:25:33Bud Eagle at the theater with you and Mr. McCauley
00:25:36He was supposed to meet me here afterwards
00:25:38I don't know anything about that
00:25:40How about that suitcase?
00:25:41I'm supposed to pick it up
00:25:42It's here
00:25:43But I don't know whether to give it to you
00:25:44Suit yourself
00:25:46Wait
00:25:46It's alright
00:25:48You can give it to him
00:25:49Did Bud say anything else about me?
00:25:53No
00:25:54Nothing?
00:25:56Was there supposed to be something?
00:25:58No
00:25:59I guess not
00:26:00Here it is
00:26:02Does he owe you anything?
00:26:04Not me
00:26:05He said you fed him
00:26:06She did
00:26:08Here
00:26:10What's this for?
00:26:12Kid doesn't want any loose ends
00:26:15Well how about that?
00:26:28And he didn't even mention me
00:26:30I ordered you a steak when I heard you moving around in there
00:26:40A steak?
00:26:42For breakfast?
00:26:43What else is there?
00:26:44Hey, what's this for?
00:26:47I use that when I go fishing
00:26:49I fell asleep before you got in last night, Steak
00:26:53Oh, you didn't say to come right back
00:26:56So I put the suitcase in your room this morning
00:26:58What did Vicky say?
00:26:59Did she understand why I didn't make it?
00:27:01She didn't show up herself
00:27:02She wasn't there
00:27:04Wasn't anybody there
00:27:06Just a hashlinger
00:27:07I gave her the ten bucks
00:27:08Or ten dollars
00:27:10She said you hocked your suitcase with her for that
00:27:12I did not
00:27:14Why would she say something like that?
00:27:19I don't know
00:27:19It's best to stay away from people like that
00:27:22I'd kind of do anything for a fast buck
00:27:25I guess you're right
00:27:29I can't understand about Vicky though
00:27:33Not even to leave a word or anything
00:27:35You say
00:27:36She was on the program too last night?
00:27:40Yeah, she was on this before I was
00:27:42Well, that's simple
00:27:46Mike signed you and not her
00:27:51You mean she was jealous?
00:27:55Could be
00:27:55That's the best thing some of them chicks do
00:27:57Set them up in there
00:28:07Good morning, bud
00:28:16You sleep okay?
00:28:19Yeah, fine
00:28:20You read the trades?
00:28:23What?
00:28:25I'll save you the trouble
00:28:27Last night on Hal Kenton's TV show
00:28:31A star was really born
00:28:34After a somewhat less than graceful entrance
00:28:37I want to talk to you about that, bud
00:28:39I'm sorry, there was a wire
00:28:43I caught my foot in a wire
00:28:44Well, we might keep it in
00:28:47Might be a good gimme
00:28:47After a somewhat less than graceful appearance
00:28:50Bud Eagle came on like gangbusters
00:28:53His singing brought the audience to its feet
00:28:56And swamped the switchboard with calls
00:28:59Four record companies are waiving contracts
00:29:02Four record companies want me?
00:29:05I put that in for publicity
00:29:07This is something I want you to get straight
00:29:10You don't believe what you read
00:29:12Only what I tell you
00:29:14Now, we've got an awful lot of work to do, bud
00:29:20Are you ready?
00:29:23Yeah
00:29:24Let's go
00:29:26You're a member of Pete Bailey and the boys, don't you?
00:29:33From last night
00:29:34Hey, who's my mom?
00:29:35Good
00:29:35We've got to work up some numbers
00:29:38But if no record company wants me, Mike
00:29:42Now, I've set a deal today
00:29:44Eight sides with Fairway
00:29:46Golly, no kidding?
00:29:48Try that on for size
00:29:54For me?
00:29:57Holy cow
00:29:59Just a little flash
00:30:00Oh, gee, thanks, Mike
00:30:03You'll pay for it, all comes out of the profit
00:30:05Yeah, yeah, true
00:30:06That sure is
00:30:08Now, we've got to get to work
00:30:09By the way, I've got an appointment at 11 o'clock
00:30:12To get some suits fitted for you
00:30:14Oh, yeah?
00:30:16Here's some new songs, see how you like them
00:30:18Oh, I've got plenty of songs I wrote myself
00:30:20They're in my suitcase
00:30:22Is he for real?
00:30:23Ha, ha
00:30:23No
00:30:24Go get them
00:30:25Try them
00:30:26Oh, I want to make some records
00:30:35Great
00:30:36There are no cracks
00:30:37And you get rid of those attitudes
00:30:39This kid's no jerk
00:30:40Yeah, but a songwriter, him
00:30:42Oh, you're getting paid
00:30:43And while we're all here, it won't hurt to run them over
00:30:46Maybe we can use one or two of them
00:30:48So much the better
00:30:49Here they are, Pete
00:30:58How many have you got here?
00:31:00About 20 or 30
00:31:01It hardly seems enough
00:31:03Oh, I can write more, don't take long
00:31:05No, no, it's all right
00:31:06Let's look through these 20
00:31:07Why are you doing that?
00:31:09Mike
00:31:09Yes, bud?
00:31:11I wrote a letter to my brother Ted last night
00:31:13Can I mail it someplace around here?
00:31:16Here, I'll take care of it
00:31:17Oh, thanks, Dick
00:31:18I promised him I'd let him know right off where I was staying
00:31:21You know, you tell him everything that happened to you
00:31:23Sure did
00:31:24You ought to be happy about that
00:31:26Let's try this one
00:31:38I'm getting to be a big boy now
00:31:50I'm growing taller every day
00:31:54You don't love me anymore
00:31:59You don't love me anymore
00:32:02Oh, I'll wait for somebody else
00:32:05Thoughtin' about it
00:32:06Here in three, thought
00:32:08Can I get in, sweetie?
00:32:09Oh, I'll be there
00:32:12But my time is getting shorter with you
00:32:15Oh, my time is getting shorter with you
00:32:18That's right, baby
00:32:46That's all I know
00:32:56You don't love me anymore
00:32:59Oh, you don't love me anymore
00:33:02Oh, I'll be there
00:33:03Somebody else
00:33:04Doin' the clock
00:33:06Aimin' still
00:33:07Give me the job
00:33:09I'm growing taller every day
00:33:12But my time is getting shorter with you
00:33:15Oh, my time is getting shorter with you
00:33:18What did you tell him?
00:33:35Just what you told me to tell him.
00:33:38Make some records, do some shows.
00:33:40It's going to be a long time before any money comes.
00:33:44And then I told him to write and care of your office here.
00:33:46Well, that ought to hold him for a while.
00:33:49But one thing I want you to remember, when you're playing Ted,
00:33:52don't write the same letters on the same typewriter.
00:33:57Why does he have to have a brother for anyway?
00:33:59Once you get a hold of Rick,
00:34:01we want to get these pressings all over the country yesterday.
00:34:07By the way, New York called three times.
00:34:10Oh, that'd be Ed on that TV deal.
00:34:17Long distance, please. Circle to 3000, New York.
00:34:27It's Macaulay speaking.
00:34:29Ed!
00:34:31Yeah. Bud Eagle?
00:34:34For $500?
00:34:39You're talking... You're crazy.
00:34:41Five thousand is more like it.
00:34:44It's the hottest thing in the country.
00:34:46I was wondering when you'd be coming in.
00:34:58Oh?
00:35:00Give a listen.
00:35:01What is it?
00:35:02What do we have a devotion?
00:35:08What do we have a devotion?
00:35:10Yeah, good idea.
00:35:13Hey, weasel.
00:35:14What's a devotion?
00:35:17You know, like in the army, stupid.
00:35:20First infantry diversion, second infantry diversion.
00:35:24Hello.
00:35:24Hello.
00:35:32Not bad, huh?
00:35:33Marge, I think he's the most.
00:35:36And he hasn't been around town long enough to get a haircut.
00:35:39I love you, baby, yes, I will.
00:35:42Yes, I will.
00:35:45I found it's true.
00:35:49I don't want no one.
00:35:52I asked the guy and he said they were putting them in all over town.
00:35:56It's wonderful.
00:35:57You really fell for that guy, didn't you?
00:36:00Just... just like a ton of bricks.
00:36:03I didn't know myself until...
00:36:04Have you heard from him lately?
00:36:08No.
00:36:09I just wondered...
00:36:11You hadn't said...
00:36:15Here.
00:36:17Take this dime and go play the other side.
00:36:22No.
00:36:24I think I'll go out and buy the record.
00:36:34This is the shot that goes on the record sleeve.
00:36:49Now, this is the one that I want everybody to pluck.
00:36:53Sir, this is what he looks like.
00:36:55Good thing this is no beauty contest.
00:36:58Yeah, you just do your job.
00:36:59What do you think, Karen?
00:37:01I think he's cute.
00:37:02Sure he is.
00:37:03He's got appeal.
00:37:06Hello, Bud. Come on in.
00:37:08Bud, these are the presidents of your fan clubs.
00:37:11Every major high school in Los Angeles is represented here.
00:37:16You can meet them individually later.
00:37:18Right now, we've got a little business to transact.
00:37:20Do you mind?
00:37:22I should say not.
00:37:23Sit down someplace.
00:37:25As I was saying, this kid's got appeal.
00:37:27I think we can go the whole route.
00:37:29Sooners and everything.
00:37:30What about tearing off his clothes?
00:37:32That's for squares.
00:37:35I think it's effective.
00:37:37I agree with Karen.
00:37:38But you check with me first, because suits cost money.
00:37:41Speaking of money, Mike.
00:37:43The usual rates will apply.
00:37:45I've never cheated any of you, have I?
00:37:50Cost of living is going up, up, up.
00:37:51Yes, but I'm giving you bigger territories.
00:37:54No, the same rates will apply.
00:37:56Twenty-five dollars a week for every week the sales go over normal in your area, plus the membership fee.
00:38:01What about Fairway products? Going to have anything new?
00:38:04Well, more about that later.
00:38:10How about a fad?
00:38:13What did you say?
00:38:14What kind of a fad do you want us to start?
00:38:16Oh, this one is a natural.
00:38:19Eagle feathers.
00:38:20Bud, eagle.
00:38:22You get it?
00:38:23You wear them behind your ear, you stick them in your hair, you put them around your wrist.
00:38:27You can wear them on your coat.
00:38:28Where are you going to get eagle feathers, Mike?
00:38:30Oh, turkeys, chickens, magpies.
00:38:33What difference does it make?
00:38:53I want you to get those county schools into the lineup.
00:38:56I want action.
00:38:57We've got to work fast.
00:38:59This kid's first record's got to be a million seller.
00:39:02That'll get the attention nationally that I want.
00:39:04Without payola?
00:39:05Payola, buzzola, just call it Ola.
00:39:08That's my business.
00:39:10Do you know what I heard, Mike?
00:39:11Never mind.
00:39:12I heard that DJs all over the country are stockholders in Fairway products.
00:39:16That was really smart, Mike.
00:39:17Yeah, what about us, Mike? Stockholders.
00:39:21Let me tell you, punk, something.
00:39:22A stockholder is generally a guy that never makes a nickel.
00:39:25Now, you're all on the payroll, and that's top banana in my book.
00:39:29My book.
00:39:41Hi, kid. You going someplace?
00:39:42Home, maybe.
00:39:44I haven't liked the last couple of letters I've been getting from Ted.
00:39:48They don't sound like him at all.
00:39:51Well, now, that's all that's bugging you.
00:39:53Well, we'll invite him and have him come out for a visit.
00:39:56That's not all.
00:39:57Well, everything was all right yesterday. Something must have happened. What's up?
00:40:03Does everything have to be so phony?
00:40:06Oh, Bud, sit down.
00:40:08Stig, bring him a Coke.
00:40:10I don't want a Coke.
00:40:11It'll only take ten minutes of your time.
00:40:14You owe that to me, don't you?
00:40:18Yeah, I guess I do.
00:40:19All right, gang, let's see you blast off with some smash success.
00:40:26Action means dollars.
00:40:28You can depend on us, Mike.
00:40:30But can you depend on him?
00:40:32Times aren't that tough.
00:40:34What do you mean, baby?
00:40:35Those clothes. Is that the new tearing off type?
00:40:39Really?
00:40:40Ah, you should have the rags at Bud Scott.
00:40:43All right, now, let's go, everybody.
00:40:49Let's go.
00:41:03Bud, you're in a serious business. A big business. You know that, don't you?
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:10I knew you would. Now, let's analyze this business.
00:41:14We've got a product to sell. You. Right?
00:41:19Mm-hmm.
00:41:20Now, to sell our product, we advertise, we publicize, we promote every angle to increase sales.
00:41:30Okay?
00:41:32Yeah.
00:41:33Now, in the course of this business, we use fan clubs.
00:41:37We supply them with pictures and information.
00:41:40I understand all that, but it's just that...
00:41:42Fan clubs are very important in this business.
00:41:44You know, if people don't like a kind of candy bar, they won't buy it.
00:41:50But you can't make people, force people to like me.
00:41:54You just can't take a group of people and say, you like Bud Eagle, and you go buy his records.
00:42:00You just can't do that, Mike.
00:42:02That's exactly what you do.
00:42:04Life is a big game of follow the leader.
00:42:08Now, those kids that were here this afternoon, these high school kids.
00:42:13Think back. You're just out of school.
00:42:15Wasn't there someone in school that everybody admired?
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21Who?
00:42:22My brother, Ted. He's a captain of the football team.
00:42:24And if he drank his malts down at the local malt shop, pretty soon everybody was drinking them there, right?
00:42:29Yeah.
00:42:31But...
00:42:32Well, now, what makes you think that he wasn't getting paid to drink his malts there?
00:42:36Not my brother, Ted.
00:42:38That's the way of the world, kid. Get with it.
00:42:43I don't think you're right, Mr. McCauley.
00:42:46And I don't think I have to be a part of it.
00:42:49I admire you for that.
00:42:51If more people thought like you, we wouldn't have so many crooked politicians and payola and brainwashing.
00:42:59Goodbye, Mr. McCauley. Thanks for everything.
00:43:03By everything, you mean all the money I've spent on you, don't you?
00:43:16You got it back, didn't you?
00:43:18I made those records and I did those appearances.
00:43:21And I never saw any of it.
00:43:23Why, it didn't even dent the expenses.
00:43:26Come on down to the office sometime. Take a look at the books.
00:43:29And that guitar that you're taking with you, for instance.
00:43:31Oh, I didn't mean to take that.
00:43:33Just, I'm so used to carrying one that, well, maybe you can sell it.
00:43:39Maybe.
00:43:40But how about all those suits that are hanging in the closet?
00:43:43How much do you suppose I could get on them?
00:43:47I guess I forgot.
00:43:48I'm on the hook for plenty, but that's okay.
00:43:54I mean it.
00:43:55I'd rather lose $50,000 than to see you lose your ideals.
00:44:01$50,000?
00:44:02I told you this is serious business.
00:44:05Steak, get on the phone, call the airline, see if there's not a flight out right away.
00:44:09Uh, uh, spearfish, wouldn't it?
00:44:11Yeah.
00:44:12Well, perhaps stop by there sometime, pay your call.
00:44:16Mike?
00:44:19Steak, get on that phone right now.
00:44:21Maybe there's a plane out right away.
00:44:23Mike?
00:44:25Yeah?
00:44:27How long would it take for you to get the money back you spent on me?
00:44:31I told you, kid, don't worry about it.
00:44:33No, how long?
00:44:41Six months, maybe.
00:44:44Less if we really worked.
00:44:46Okay, let's.
00:44:48What do you mean?
00:44:49Well, let's really work and get your money back.
00:44:56You do that for me?
00:44:57I can't leave you in the hole.
00:44:59I'll pull you out and then I'll take off.
00:45:04I just don't know what to say.
00:45:07You don't say anything.
00:45:08Just start lining up those jobs like mad.
00:45:11We're going to hit this town like a...
00:45:16Cut, too.
00:45:17I can't leave you because you don't know.
00:45:19It's fun.
00:45:21I can't leave you in the hole.
00:45:22You'll make this town where all right you're named.
00:45:23Well, Johnny?
00:45:25So...
00:45:26That there's cooking in the organization.
00:45:27You don't start making time.
00:45:28I can't leave you in but you don't work.
00:45:29Mickey, Mickey, Mickey.
00:45:59I love you, Ricky.
00:46:06You know I do.
00:46:13My whole life has changed.
00:46:19Though the first day we met was my last day with you.
00:46:29Vicky, oh Vicky, what have I done?
00:46:44Why can't we make up?
00:46:52We can have so much fun.
00:46:58If you don't love me, I was a fool.
00:47:12Oh Vicky, you are my love.
00:47:22Vicky, oh Vicky, I'm so alone.
00:47:38If you could just talk to me, if I could just call you on the phone.
00:47:51Would you give one more chance to a fool?
00:48:01Oh Vicky, you are my love.
00:48:15Vicky, Vicky, Vicky.
00:48:17You are my love.
00:48:22Vicky, you are my love.
00:48:29Vicky, Vicky, Vicky.
00:48:31Vicky, Vicky, Vicky.
00:48:33Vicky, Vicky.
00:48:34Vicky, Vicky.
00:48:38Vicky, Vicky.
00:49:44Steak said.
00:49:45Steak said what?
00:49:46Well, I was talking to him and he said, like, you didn't even want to see me that night or something.
00:49:52But I told Steak to tell you.
00:49:55He gave me a dollar and said that you didn't want any loose ends.
00:49:58Why would he say something like that?
00:50:00I don't know, but I know you didn't mean it.
00:50:03What do you say we go someplace?
00:50:06Oh, all right.
00:50:07What would you like to do?
00:50:08Anything.
00:50:09Let's just get out of here.
00:50:10Well, maybe bowling or how about skating?
00:50:13Skating?
00:50:14Sure.
00:50:15My uncle runs a rink.
00:50:18I meant someplace where we could be alone.
00:50:21Well, we can be alone there.
00:50:24And besides, the rink is closed and I can get in any time.
00:50:27I have the key.
00:50:28Well, you know how to skate, don't you?
00:50:32Oh, sure.
00:50:33I used to go skating all the time.
00:50:35So you used to go skating all the time, huh?
00:50:47I thought you meant roller skating, not these.
00:50:51Silly, why didn't you tell me you couldn't skate?
00:50:54Watch this.
00:50:55I used to go skating all the time.
00:51:25Well, that's a good one.
00:53:55Hello, bud.
00:54:05I just firmed the last booking for a nationwide tour that you're going to make.
00:54:10Your fan clubs are demanding it.
00:54:13How much did that cost?
00:54:14Oh, it didn't cost anything.
00:54:16You get it back.
00:54:18Look what I brought you.
00:54:20A midget tape recorder.
00:54:23Isn't that something?
00:54:24I heard a little microphone you put on your lapel.
00:54:28You know, now you can write songs while you're on the move.
00:54:31I've noticed you.
00:54:32I haven't been writing many songs lately.
00:54:34I've been a little busy.
00:54:39What's the matter with that kid?
00:54:41He saw that girl again.
00:54:42What girl?
00:54:44The one he used to tell us about.
00:54:45We can't have that.
00:54:49If he wants a girl, get one for him.
00:54:53How about Daisy?
00:54:56Why not?
00:54:57Pardon the intrusion, but I just had to see if Mike was too cheap to even change the lock.
00:55:24You're Don Proctor, aren't you?
00:55:29That I am.
00:55:30Since I know who you are, we have the basis of a lasting friendship.
00:55:36Can I have a drink?
00:55:38Go ahead.
00:55:39Thanks.
00:55:50Will you join me?
00:55:52No, thanks.
00:55:53Not yet, huh?
00:55:55You will.
00:55:59I don't remember you being up here before.
00:56:03I used to live here.
00:56:05You didn't know that?
00:56:07No, I know you're a singer.
00:56:08I got some of your records back home.
00:56:10Correction.
00:56:11I used to be a singer.
00:56:16In fact, I used to be one of Mike McCauley's trained seals.
00:56:22And therein lies a tale.
00:56:24Do you care to hear it?
00:56:26Go ahead.
00:56:29It's not a long story, but a very tiring one.
00:56:32A few years ago, the fashion was handsome young men with wavy hair.
00:56:40And now it's kids.
00:56:42You don't even have to understand the words.
00:56:44I'm not knocking you, bud.
00:56:44I'm not knocking you, bud.
00:56:49That's all right.
00:56:50You don't have to understand the words.
00:56:51So, anyway, I hooked up with Mike McCauley.
00:56:57He treated me royally.
00:56:59He moved me in here and he gave me that funny monkey steak as a bodyguard and majordomo.
00:57:05Well, I presume that psycho is still with us.
00:57:10Yeah, he is.
00:57:12Naturally.
00:57:14I didn't have to pay for a thing.
00:57:18Did you ever have to pay for anything?
00:57:19No.
00:57:21Do you know why?
00:57:26Because you can't.
00:57:27You haven't got any money, have you?
00:57:29No, I don't.
00:57:31That's part of the golden leash.
00:57:33Give him everything, but keep him broke so he can't get away.
00:57:36Am I boring you?
00:57:42No, go ahead, please.
00:57:44The fashion came to an end.
00:57:47People no longer bought records by handsome young men with wavy hair.
00:57:53Take warning.
00:57:56I guess nothing lasts forever, Don.
00:58:00So, Mike and I decided to go our separate ways.
00:58:04That was the day I got the fast pencil.
00:58:09The what?
00:58:11You never heard of a fast pencil?
00:58:14Oh, Lord, you will.
00:58:15And when your turn comes,
00:58:17Mike will show you a set of books that turns over and plays dead.
00:58:21Every nickel that comes in goes out for expenses.
00:58:26Somewhere along the line, you've signed away all your royalties.
00:58:31How do I know you're not just saying all this?
00:58:33Well, because, well...
00:58:35Because I'm a drunk.
00:58:38Or a has-been.
00:58:40Or both.
00:58:43You don't, kid.
00:58:44You don't, kid, this is a...
00:58:55Daisy.
00:58:56She's going to teach you how to swing.
00:58:58Hi, this is Daisy. She's going to teach you how to swing.
00:59:11Hi.
00:59:20So, this is Buddy Boy.
00:59:28Hey, Tiger, is this a new tune?
00:59:43I'll be right back.
01:00:28What are you doing here?
01:00:48Dropped in for a little nap.
01:00:51What did you tell Bud?
01:00:53Nothing.
01:00:54Come on, you're going home.
01:00:55I don't want to go home.
01:00:57You said you're going home.
01:00:59Does this make you change your mind?
01:01:01Yeah.
01:01:03Same old steak.
01:01:07Here we go again.
01:01:27Get out of here, I'm going to kill you.
01:01:47What's going on out here?
01:02:06Some drunk.
01:02:08He fell down the steps.
01:02:10I'm going to call the police.
01:02:12Stella, get back in here.
01:02:14I'm coming, Stanley.
01:02:16I'm coming.
01:02:16I'm coming.
01:02:17Here we go.
01:02:38THE END
01:03:08Vicky! Vicky, wait!
01:03:38I don't want to talk to you!
01:03:43Hey, kid! Come here! Come here!
01:04:02What do you want?
01:04:06Got a deal!
01:04:08Deal?
01:04:10Yeah! Show him, weasel!
01:04:12Up with the mits, kid!
01:04:15Yeah, we mean business, kid! Big business!
01:04:18What's with you guys? A bunch of kooks or something?
01:04:20Shut up and stick your mits up in the sky!
01:04:23We're going for a ride!
01:04:25All right!
01:04:26Yeah, we's kidnapping, you see?
01:04:28You know, that's delightful.
01:04:29But I have conclusion that we ain't got no transportation.
01:04:33Now, I ain't got no money for taxis.
01:04:35We better think of something fast.
01:04:40Don't look at me.
01:04:41I don't even have a dime.
01:04:43I got it.
01:04:44What say we walk?
01:04:47Cheat that smart thinking brains.
01:04:51Okay, okay, let's move it!
01:04:56To the shack.
01:04:59To the shack.
01:05:01To the shack!
01:05:03To the shack.
01:05:09Where's the kid?
01:05:10No, it's a great.
01:05:12Why'd you let him get away?
01:05:14Oh, he wouldn't have been any fun anyway.
01:05:16How about you and me?
01:05:27Aren't you gonna take off your mask?
01:05:30What do you mean? It is off.
01:05:31We've done it, weasel, we've done it.
01:05:33We're in the big time.
01:05:35Not yet, we ain't.
01:05:37Not till we get the dough.
01:05:38Yeah, but just think.
01:05:39If we get caught, we get life at least.
01:05:43Maybe even the chair.
01:05:45Gee, my old man would be proud of me.
01:05:48Oh, shut up, stupid.
01:05:50Now, let me get this straight now.
01:05:52You guys have kidnapped me,
01:05:54and you're gonna hold me for a ransom, right?
01:05:56Now, we have evaluated your weightiness.
01:05:59And we have conclusions
01:06:00that you are worth five Gs.
01:06:03Five thousand dollars, huh?
01:06:05Gee, I'm gonna buy me one of them motorboats,
01:06:07one of them kind that cut through the water like...
01:06:11You're gonna buy yourself a lump on the head
01:06:13if you don't shut up.
01:06:16Your brains, you got it figured out yet?
01:06:18A note, my thanks.
01:06:19A missile to announce our intentions.
01:06:22Written by the very hand of the unfortunate victim.
01:06:25All right, guys, the fun's over.
01:06:28I don't know who hired this circus,
01:06:29but I've had enough.
01:06:32Hold it, you.
01:06:33One more step,
01:06:35and I'll feel you full of holes.
01:06:36Gee, just like in the moving pictures.
01:06:41Did you ever see it done better?
01:06:45All right, then sit down.
01:06:46Sit down.
01:06:47What'd you go and do that for?
01:06:50Oh, poor Weasel.
01:06:53Alas, foiled again.
01:06:56You know, that was a pretty cowardly trick,
01:06:59enroaching on our insipity like that.
01:07:02What'd he say?
01:07:05Are you guys really supposed to be crooks?
01:07:07You kidnappers?
01:07:09Hey, what kind of crack is that?
01:07:11We shan't dignify that question with a resort.
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:19Why not?
01:07:20Hey, this could be perfect.
01:07:22He's gonna mow us down like dogs.
01:07:26Look, you guys kidnapped me, so...
01:07:28Okay, I'm kidnapped.
01:07:32You mean you wanna be kidnapped?
01:07:34That's just what I want.
01:07:37Hey, we got a nut on our hands.
01:07:39Beware the tides of March.
01:07:42Me thinks there's a scheme in his motifs.
01:07:47Okay, wise guy, how come, huh?
01:07:49How come?
01:07:50There's no scheme, no trick.
01:07:53I just want to be your guest for a while.
01:07:55And if you guys make some money out of this,
01:07:57we're good for you.
01:08:00Hey, you ain't fooling me, wise guy.
01:08:02You know when you're up against some pretty tough boys
01:08:05and you're scared, right?
01:08:06Well, let's get down to work.
01:08:09Where's the paper and pencil?
01:08:11Are you gonna write letters now?
01:08:14The ransom note, Dodo.
01:08:15You were gonna write a ransom note, weren't you?
01:08:19Brains?
01:08:20To be sure, to be sure.
01:08:22A ransom note.
01:08:23The very thing.
01:08:26Let me see.
01:08:27How can we put this?
01:08:29About a fork over 5G's or your boy will get killed.
01:08:34Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:08:37We can't ask for 5,000.
01:08:40Too much, huh?
01:08:43Two, maybe?
01:08:43If we're gonna do this, let's do it big.
01:08:46Well, how big?
01:08:49I should be worth at least...
01:08:5115,000.
01:08:54Dollars?
01:08:55Why not?
01:08:55Let's go all the way.
01:08:57Gee, you're big time, all right.
01:09:01Are you sure they're gonna pay?
01:09:02If they'll pay 5,000, they'll pay 15,000.
01:09:06You know, there's an elephant of truth there.
01:09:09Say,
01:09:11can I have your...
01:09:13your autograph?
01:09:15Hey, what are you, some kind of nut?
01:09:17Okay, so it's 15,000.
01:09:19So what do you put in the letter?
01:09:22How about...
01:09:24put the money in a paper sack
01:09:28and put it in a garbage can
01:09:29behind Marge's cafe?
01:09:32Huh?
01:09:34Are they out of their cotton-picking mind?
01:09:37I guess they've found out your own heart, Mike.
01:09:39Well, what's so funny about it?
01:09:42I don't know.
01:09:42I guess it's the fact
01:09:43you're gonna have to shell out for a change.
01:09:45Oh, big joke.
01:09:54You know...
01:09:58How many times?
01:10:00Oh, don't you?
01:10:01I'młbyh.
01:10:03jaką ask your mom is in your apartment?
01:10:05I dear U.S., do you care?
01:10:09Or how many times do you earn?
01:10:11Or this way!
01:10:15Is this the only job of you 1986?
01:10:17Did he last year?
01:10:18I'm the only one?
01:10:19되ная.
01:10:20Come here, guy.
01:10:22I have auto-weak.
01:10:22I found the money!
01:10:39Why don't you go on the radio to the whole world?
01:10:44No!
01:10:46Let's go back to the shack.
01:10:48Back to the shack.
01:10:52We got it! We got it! We got the door!
01:11:06We're rich! We're rich!
01:11:08Oh boy, wait till you see me skimmy over the water!
01:11:18You mean he paid you?
01:11:19Not only did he pay, but he paid unequivocally.
01:11:24I'll be.
01:11:27Okay, gang, now for the payoff. A four-way split, right?
01:11:32Four?
01:11:33Sure, kid. We ain't misers.
01:11:37After all, it was your idea to ask for 15. Right, gang?
01:11:41Right, fair is fair.
01:11:44Thanks, guys, but I don't want any.
01:11:48Oh, but we don't know how to split 15,000 three ways.
01:11:54Stay!
01:12:02Come on, get out of there!
01:12:07Come on, get out of there!
01:12:09Stay!
01:12:10Stay!
01:12:12Ouch!
01:12:13Hey, stranger!
01:12:14Don't shoot me!
01:12:15Please don't shoot me! Don't shoot me!
01:12:17Don't shoot me, please!
01:12:18Don't shoot me!
01:12:20Let's make it quickly!
01:12:21Come on, wake up!
01:12:24Wait, wait!
01:12:27Come on, stupid, or shut up!
01:12:29I hit you off from under the table!
01:12:30Are you?
01:12:31Tom, come on!
01:12:34Get out of there!
01:12:36That's me, man!
01:12:37Don't shoot!
01:12:38Don't shoot!
01:12:38Oh, my God.
01:13:08Extra, extra, read all about it, bird eagle missing.
01:13:16Paper, sir?
01:13:38Hello, Marge.
01:13:44You've been sick or something?
01:13:46I hadn't seen you around.
01:13:48I haven't felt like getting out lately.
01:13:50Have you heard any news about Bud?
01:13:53No.
01:13:54I wonder what could have happened to him.
01:13:57That was a publicity stunt.
01:13:59I heard a couple of guys talking.
01:14:02A publicity stunt, huh?
01:14:04Just the sort of thing that a stinker would pull.
01:14:07Stinker?
01:14:08You heard me.
01:14:13See this cup?
01:14:14It's a cup.
01:14:16No, look.
01:14:16See how clean it is.
01:14:18Yeah.
01:14:19I got me a new dishwasher.
01:14:22Is it a man?
01:14:25He came in the other day.
01:14:27He was hungry.
01:14:28Needed a place to sleep.
01:14:30He's a good worker.
01:14:31Barge, you should be careful.
01:14:32You don't know anything about him.
01:14:33He might steal everything in the place.
01:14:35As a matter of fact, he does act suspicious.
01:14:41I'll get rid of him right now.
01:14:43Hey, you and I!
01:14:46Come on out!
01:14:47You want me, Marge?
01:14:50Bud!
01:14:51Vicky!
01:14:52Are you all right?
01:14:54Sure, I'm all right.
01:14:55It wasn't very nice of you to involve Marge in your publicity stunt.
01:14:59Oh, this isn't a publicity stunt.
01:15:02No, I'd like to know what you call it then.
01:15:04Would you?
01:15:05All right.
01:15:06I came here because...
01:15:09Oh, I had to have a place to think.
01:15:11Oh, I imagine it would be very difficult to concentrate with that girl hugging and kissing you.
01:15:18Well, if you'd have let me explain it.
01:15:20Why should I?
01:15:21You seem to be enjoying it.
01:15:26That's the way you feel about it.
01:15:29Did you?
01:15:31No.
01:15:32No.
01:15:33I'm glad.
01:15:52What's that?
01:15:53Sure, sure.
01:15:55Why, of course it's a publicity stunt.
01:15:58I'm surprised, Ed, that an old hand like you fell for that.
01:16:04Yeah.
01:16:05Why, it'll hit every newspaper in the country.
01:16:09Hmm.
01:16:10Record sales will go to the top.
01:16:15Hey, how's the weather in Philadelphia?
01:16:20So long, Ed.
01:16:23That's five calls today.
01:16:25I don't know what they're worried about.
01:16:29If that kid don't show up, I'm the one that's going down the drain.
01:16:33Paying the penalties and forfeits for all those theaters,
01:16:37I ought to take it out of your hide.
01:16:40Don't worry about it.
01:16:42I got kids looking for him all over town.
01:16:44Well, they're better.
01:16:45Paying all those penalties for those theaters,
01:16:48and it cost me $5,000 to square it with Don Proctor.
01:16:53I told you, he fell down the steps, fell!
01:16:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:00How did you get in here?
01:17:01The door was open.
01:17:03Well, just close it on your way out.
01:17:05I'm looking for Mr. Mike McCauley.
01:17:08Hi, McCauley.
01:17:09What do you want?
01:17:10Well, Mr. McCauley, you don't know me, but I need $20.
01:17:14Get lost.
01:17:15All right, you heard him. Let's go.
01:17:17All right. I guess I'll just have to go to the newspapers.
01:17:21Go to the newspapers about what?
01:17:23Bud Eagle.
01:17:24I hate to spoil anybody's pitch, but I really need that $20.
01:17:28What about Bud?
01:17:30Well, I know he's just pretending to hide out for a publicity stunt.
01:17:34I haven't heard you say so on the phone.
01:17:35Yeah, yeah. You know where he is?
01:17:38Sure.
01:17:38Well, where is he?
01:17:40That's my pitch, Mr. McCauley.
01:17:41For $20, I won't tell the newspapers.
01:17:45Well, I'll give it to him.
01:17:53Thanks.
01:17:56I just wanted to see whether you had something to sell now.
01:18:01Where's Bud?
01:18:02Oh, he's at the coffee cup cafe on La Brea.
01:18:04He's working as a dishwasher.
01:18:07Well, why didn't you think of that?
01:18:08Of course, that's where he is.
01:18:10Where the girl stays.
01:18:11You guys didn't know where he was?
01:18:13On your way, Buster.
01:18:14On your way.
01:18:15If I'd have known that, I could have got more than $20.
01:18:18You still can.
01:18:19You can wait a half hour and go to the newspapers.
01:18:21Yeah, it's a good idea.
01:18:23All except the part about waiting a half hour.
01:18:26Yeah.
01:18:28Smart kid.
01:18:30Go ahead.
01:18:30Give it to him.
01:18:31You sure are a nice guy, Mr. McCauley.
01:18:39You sure are.
01:18:44We're back in business again and bigger than ever.
01:18:46I can just see it now.
01:18:49Boy goes to cafe to see girl.
01:18:52Young love.
01:18:53Public will eat it up.
01:18:56Well, we'll probably have to get that little girl in the ass though.
01:18:59Suppose the kid doesn't want to cooperate.
01:19:02Oh, he'll cooperate.
01:19:04I don't know about that.
01:19:06That girl's got a pretty face, hasn't she?
01:19:10Yeah.
01:19:10Well, he'll cooperate if he wants to keep it pretty.
01:19:15Yeah.
01:19:25Go on inside, Mickey.
01:19:40Come on.
01:19:42Hello, Mike.
01:19:43I'm a little disappointed.
01:19:45I didn't think you'd run out on me.
01:19:47Well, I didn't like what I heard.
01:19:49Oh, Don Proctor.
01:19:51He's a drunk.
01:19:52You can't believe a word he says.
01:19:54Then why did Stake jump out of his skin when he saw him?
01:19:56I don't know about that,
01:19:58but I thought we agreed that you wouldn't leave me in a hole.
01:20:01Huh?
01:20:03I've added it up, Mike.
01:20:05We've sold four million records.
01:20:07We've done seven TV shows.
01:20:09And I don't know how many personal appearances.
01:20:12Now, every kid in this country is buying stuff with my picture on it.
01:20:15And I haven't got anything out of it except six suits and one new guitar.
01:20:19And I left all those back at the apartment.
01:20:23Are you saying I cheated you?
01:20:25Didn't you?
01:20:25You want to come down to the office and look at the books?
01:20:29No, Mike.
01:20:29Not those books.
01:20:31But I'll tell you what I will do.
01:20:34What?
01:20:34Tell me.
01:20:36You can have everything you've got up until now.
01:20:39Then we're going to start a new set of books with that tour you've got lined up for me.
01:20:44Well, that's all right, but I'll be confusing to a bookkeeper.
01:20:47Ah, another thing.
01:20:48New bookkeeper.
01:20:51Huh?
01:20:51And I'm going to live by myself.
01:20:53I'm going to handle my own money.
01:20:55Oh, you smart punk.
01:20:57Who do you think you are?
01:20:59I'm just what you made me, Mr. McCauley.
01:21:02Big enough not to need you anymore.
01:21:04I can get another manager.
01:21:06Yeah, you got pretty smart in a hurry, didn't you?
01:21:09Another thing, huh?
01:21:11No payola and no of those phony fan clubs.
01:21:14What the heck you want to be like just for yourself alone?
01:21:19That's right.
01:21:21How about it, Mike?
01:21:22Is it a deal?
01:21:25You little punk.
01:21:26You sing for me or you sing for nobody and get this straight.
01:21:30I can fix it.
01:21:31How are you going to do that, Mike?
01:21:33What would all of those nice kids back in your hometown
01:21:36think if they knew what you were really like?
01:21:40Daisy, for instance.
01:21:42I never had anything to do with her.
01:21:44Yeah, but she'll say anything I tell her to say.
01:21:48And the stories that I can spread
01:21:49make mighty good reading back in your hometown.
01:21:52Yeah, your brother can paste them in his scrapbook.
01:21:55Yeah.
01:21:56And the tour starts on Saturday.
01:21:58And you better be there and you better not have
01:22:01any sore throats or anything.
01:22:03Because there's 12 grand in it for me.
01:22:05If something happens to your voice,
01:22:08something happens to your girlfriend.
01:22:10Let me get this straight now, Mike.
01:22:12If I get a new manager,
01:22:14you're going to spread a lot of lies about me.
01:22:16And if I don't sing at all,
01:22:19you're going to try to hurt Vicky.
01:22:21Is that right?
01:22:22Kid, don't you hear good?
01:22:24That's exactly right.
01:22:27Hey, bud, we're on a table.
01:22:29It's okay, we've got everything.
01:22:30Hey, get him!
01:22:58Mike!
01:22:59Help me!
01:22:59Mike!
01:23:00Oh!
01:23:00Mike!
01:23:00Help me!
01:23:01Mike!
01:23:01Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:23:23Mike, help me!
01:23:25Mike!
01:23:26Oh!
01:23:27Mike!
01:23:31Mike!
01:23:36Oh!
01:23:37Oh!
01:23:54Oh!
01:23:56Oh!
01:24:00Oh!
01:24:01Okay, everybody, come on out.
01:24:25Bud, are you all right?
01:24:27Sure.
01:24:29I guess you met my brother Ted.
01:24:31Your brother?
01:24:35What does he want?
01:24:36He told you.
01:24:37But in case you forgot, it's all on the tape.
01:24:40An honest count from now on.
01:24:42Me?
01:24:43I wouldn't keep you around.
01:24:45But Bud thinks he can use you.
01:24:47He says you're smart.
01:24:50It's nice to have you to say that, Bud.
01:24:52So stay smart.
01:24:54Get out of line once, we put this tape recording on the hip parade.
01:24:57I did.
01:25:03Well, if that's the way you want it, where do we go from here?
01:25:08You gave me a chance.
01:25:10Now it's my turn to give you one.
01:25:12Let's say we get some real teamwork going from now on.
01:25:17Don't you think Vicky's great, Mike?
01:25:32Don't you think she's going to be terrific?
01:25:33I got an idea.
01:25:39See one, take one.
01:25:41Well, my baby's sick and I don't know what to do.
01:26:00Yes, my baby's sick and I don't know what to do.
01:26:07She's got twist fever and a double case of guitar flu.
01:26:12Well, she twists on the highway, twisting in a swimming pool.
01:26:16She twists her breakfast, twists right off to school.
01:26:28Well, twist on, baby, twist me one time more.
01:26:32Yeah, twist on, baby, twist me one time more.
01:26:37Well, she can twist in the air and twist right down to the floor.
01:26:43She's got twist fever.
01:26:45She's got twist fever.
01:26:47She's got twist fever.
01:26:50Oh, fever.
01:26:53Yeah, she's got twist fever.
01:26:55I just can't leave her alone.
01:26:57Well, I took her to a doctor, going to find out what to do.
01:27:20Yes, to a doctor, going to find out what to do.
01:27:23Well, the doctor couldn't fix her, because the doctor is a twister, too.
01:27:29She's got twist fever.
01:27:32She's got twist fever.
01:27:34She's got twist fever.
01:27:38Oh, fever.
01:27:40Well, she's got twist fever and I just can't leave her alone.
01:27:44Oh, fever.
01:27:50Oh, fever.
01:27:53Oh, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever, fever,
