00:02:04That's it, fellas. How do you like it?
00:02:05Terrific!
00:02:06I wrote up for the theater reception tonight.
00:02:08What are you gonna call it?
00:02:09It's gonna be called,
00:02:11Look What You've Done To Me, and it's to be dedicated to Bob Terry.
00:02:13It occurs to me, Ted, that inasmuch as the theaters are giving the dance,
00:02:17well, wouldn't it be more appropriate to dedicate it to them instead?
00:02:20Not quite, egghead.
00:02:21That's sedition.
00:02:22The theater girls want a tune, let them dream up their own.
00:02:25I just thought that possibly...
00:02:26Save your thinking for the correct answers for the theme
00:02:28I've got to write in the morning.
00:02:30Petty dogs.
00:02:31Okay, fellas, stay on the downbeat.
00:02:33♪♪
00:02:49Ted, where's Frankie?
00:02:51He's boning up for an anatomy exam.
00:02:53You fellas all know Buckwing, the crew manager?
00:02:55I gotta see Frankie right away.
00:02:57It's a matter of life and death.
00:02:58What's it about? What's up?
00:02:59Well, it's pretty private, but...
00:03:03Why don't we take a look inside?
00:03:05Well, it's not like I'd take a look inside.
00:03:07Well, then, never mind.
00:03:08I'll take a look inside.
00:03:11I'm sure it's a private office though.
00:03:15Come on, Frank.
00:03:16Get in.
00:03:17Mr. Frank?
00:03:20Oh, hello, Mr. Frank.
00:03:21How can I help?
00:03:23I just want to know how you're doing.
00:03:24Take it easy, Mr. Frank.
00:03:26I've got private cases.
00:03:28Take it easy, Mr. Frank.
00:03:29You ain't playing around with no X-rays or X-rays.
00:03:31I'm doing the most of my research.
00:03:33We ain't playin' around with no eight ball.
00:03:34Oh, relax.
00:03:36Hey, Jeff, you know anatomy is a wonderful thing.
00:03:39Do you know how the head is formed?
00:03:41Well, the off hand, I would say,
00:03:43sort of starts at the base of the spine
00:03:45and works its way up into a lump.
00:03:49Hey, Frankie, I gotta talk to you.
00:03:51Go on, beat it, will ya, fellas?
00:03:52Can't you see I'm bonin' up?
00:03:53And he don't care who bones he uses, either.
00:03:55It's important.
00:03:56Something terrible's gonna happen.
00:03:57Something terrible's gonna happen
00:03:59if you don't get out of here.
00:04:00It's about Bob Terry.
00:04:01That's right.
00:04:02The new stroke for the crew.
00:04:03He's been drafted.
00:04:06What?
00:04:07That's a fact.
00:04:08We just got this wire.
00:04:09He's in the Army.
00:04:13Holy smoke, the Army.
00:04:15The greatest stroke in the country.
00:04:17The best chance Raleigh ever had
00:04:18of winning the championship.
00:04:20He has to get himself yanked into the Army.
00:04:22Couldn't we bail him out?
00:04:25There must be something we can do.
00:04:26Sure, sure.
00:04:27Write the president a letter.
00:04:28Tell him to call off the whole defense program.
00:04:30At least until after the racing season.
00:04:33Think he'll do it?
00:04:34Oh, shut up, will ya?
00:04:37Well, after all those preparations,
00:04:39our girls are gonna be off us for good.
00:04:42In fact, we turned that theta new house
00:04:43upside down to welcome Terry.
00:04:45Yeah.
00:04:46I guess you'll have to tell him, Frankie.
00:04:47I haven't got the heart.
00:04:49Me?
00:04:50Why me?
00:04:51You're the president of the house.
00:04:52You tell him.
00:04:53Oh, as the coxswain of the crew, that's your job.
00:04:56What you all looking at me for?
00:04:58I just work here.
00:04:59Pardon me for suggesting, but Misery loves company.
00:05:02Why don't you both tell him?
00:05:05Well, is it a deal?
00:05:08It's a deal.
00:05:09Get the car, Jeff.
00:05:10Yes.
00:05:12Well, come on, let's get it over with.
00:05:13Compared with this, bucking the Standish line
00:05:15would be a pleasure.
00:05:16Cheer up, fellas.
00:05:16It'll all come out in the wash.
00:05:18What's a laundryman?
00:05:19Always a laundryman.
00:05:30Hello, Tad.
00:05:31Hiya, Frankie.
00:05:32Hiya, babes.
00:05:33How's my favorite crew man?
00:05:35Well, to tell you the truth, your favorite crew
00:05:37man's not so hot.
00:05:38In fact, we both don't feel so hot.
00:05:40Aw, that's a shame.
00:05:41What's the matter, working too hard?
00:05:43Well, you see, it's like this.
00:05:46Buck's got something he wants to tell you, kids.
00:05:48Now, wait a minute, Frankie.
00:05:49What is it?
00:05:50Something about Bob Terry?
00:05:51Yeah, that's it.
00:05:52Go ahead and tell him, Buck.
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:56Well, I'd like to, girls, but it's nothing
00:05:58that Frankie and Tad wouldn't rather tell you themselves.
00:06:01Oh, no, Buck.
00:06:01Oh, that's all right.
00:06:02You go ahead, Buck.
00:06:03I gotta run along now and do some research
00:06:05for history tomorrow.
00:06:06See you later.
00:06:08So long, Buck.
00:06:09Bye.
00:06:10Hey, Buck, stick around.
00:06:11You know what we're up against.
00:06:12Good luck, fellas.
00:06:14He's acting funny.
00:06:15What's the big news he was going to tell us?
00:06:17About Bob Terry?
00:06:18Well, uh, yeah.
00:06:20Yeah, kind of.
00:06:21We got a wire from him today.
00:06:23Oh, then he will be here.
00:06:24Gee, Tad, I can't tell you how thrilled
00:06:26we all are over at the house.
00:06:28The biggest catch of the season.
00:06:30And you've given him to us.
00:06:31Every sorority on the campus is green with envy,
00:06:34positively green.
00:06:36Did you compose some special music like you said you would?
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:40Attaboy.
00:06:41I knew you wouldn't let us down.
00:06:42You never have yet.
00:06:43No, I wouldn't let you down.
00:06:45Frankie, would we?
00:06:46Is that the house?
00:06:47No, no.
00:06:48Oh, you're sweet.
00:06:49My gosh, Bess, look what time it is,
00:06:51and we've got a million things to do.
00:06:52Well, we just dropped by to say hello.
00:06:54See you tonight.
00:06:55Don't be late.
00:06:56And don't forget to bring Bob Terry.
00:06:58Oh, no.
00:06:59Of course not.
00:07:13Well, here we is, gentlemen.
00:07:14Ain't much to look at, but we're ready to go.
00:07:18Now what?
00:07:19Well, there's only one thing we can do.
00:07:21Find Bob Terry.
00:07:22Are you crazy?
00:07:23I don't know where you gentlemen's going looking,
00:07:25but you better be conservative,
00:07:27because if I get more than five miles out of this creep,
00:07:30I'll be getting it on borrowed time.
00:07:31Oh, quiet, Jeff.
00:07:33We're trying to think.
00:07:33Now, what's all this stuff about finding Bob Terry?
00:07:35I suppose you think we're magicians or something.
00:07:37No, we're just a couple of chumps.
00:07:39And if we show up at that dance tonight without Terry,
00:07:41we're going to be a couple of dead ones.
00:07:43You know that's impossible.
00:07:45No, it isn't.
00:07:46Look, how about a substitute?
00:07:47Oh, no, that gag wouldn't last five minutes.
00:07:50These gals aren't morons.
00:07:51No, I mean find somebody to take Terry's place
00:07:53just for the evening.
00:07:54The Thedas have their fun, and we're heroes.
00:07:57And then what?
00:07:58Well, tomorrow he can disappear, drafted.
00:08:01Nobody will get hurt that way.
00:08:02That's what you always say, Mr. Frankie.
00:08:04Anytime nobody gets hurt around here, it's always me.
00:08:08Come on, come on, let's go.
00:08:17Say, for the love of Mike, Jeff, take it easy.
00:08:19People ride steadier than that.
00:08:21Not without a transfusion.
00:08:25Come on, Mike.
00:08:34Stop the car quick.
00:08:39Now is that quick enough?
00:08:41What's the big idea, Frankie?
00:08:43Get a load of that guy over there.
00:08:49Why, you'd think he was hoisting a popsicle
00:08:51instead of a safe.
00:08:52Right, so he's strong.
00:08:53Wait a minute, you're not picking a Sandow over there.
00:08:56Nobody else.
00:08:57Gentlemen, I give you the answer to Theda's prayer.
00:09:00Bob Terry.
00:09:02So that's Mr. Terry.
00:09:03He didn't get drafted after all, huh?
00:09:05Wish somebody would draft you.
00:09:07Oh, look at him, Frankie.
00:09:07He's not the type.
00:09:08What do you care?
00:09:09As long as he's not a eubangee.
00:09:10Come on.
00:09:11Hey.
00:09:13Hey, can we talk to you a minute?
00:09:14Can I give you a hand?
00:09:15No.
00:09:15Well, you sure I can't help you?
00:09:17No, what do you mugs want, anyway?
00:09:19Oh, well, you see, we're from Raleigh University.
00:09:21Oh, college sprouts, huh?
00:09:22Well, I don't need any magazines.
00:09:23Say, listen.
00:09:24Listen what?
00:09:27That's what I thought.
00:09:27Go on, scram.
00:09:28I got work to do.
00:09:29OK, OK.
00:09:30We thought you'd like to make $10.
00:09:31If I, uh, how much?
00:09:34$10?
00:09:36Doing what?
00:09:37Legitimate or otherwise?
00:09:38Pretty legitimate.
00:09:39Well, what do you guys want me to do?
00:09:42Beat somebody up?
00:09:43Oh, no, no, nothing like that.
00:09:44We want you to impersonate somebody.
00:09:47You know, pretend you're somebody else.
00:09:48Oh, I take you on.
00:09:50Like I was a mobster on the lam and didn't
00:09:52want no one to know who it was.
00:09:54Yeah, that's it, in a vague sort of a way.
00:09:56Say, what kind of a monkey is this bird I'm supposed to be?
00:09:59He was a crewman.
00:10:00Have you ever rowed?
00:10:01I had a pony when I was a kid.
00:10:03Oh, no, no.
00:10:04He means row a boat.
00:10:06Not me, pal.
00:10:07I can't even look at a boat without getting seasick.
00:10:09If that's what I got to do, the deal's off.
00:10:11That's all right.
00:10:12Don't let him worry.
00:10:12You don't have to row any boats.
00:10:13You sure?
00:10:14Absolutely.
00:10:15All you have to do is pretend like you do.
00:10:17That's all.
00:10:17That better be all.
00:10:19Look.
00:10:20Hey, by the way, what's your name?
00:10:21Herc Bemond.
00:10:23The Herc shark for Hercules.
00:10:25Well, glad to know you, Herc.
00:10:27But from now on, it's Terry.
00:10:29Bob Terry.
00:10:31Come on.
00:10:44Oh, look, fellas.
00:10:45Quiet, Frosch.
00:10:46You're lucky you still got your underwear.
00:10:48The last time I wore one of these monkey suits
00:10:49was at Jaime Fugel's funeral.
00:10:51Well, we sure had fun in those days.
00:10:53How do I look?
00:10:54Beautiful.
00:10:54Ravishing.
00:10:55You ain't kidding either.
00:10:56You know, it ain't everybody can wear an outfit like this.
00:10:58You're telling me.
00:10:59Forget it, kid.
00:11:00You're OK.
00:11:01Sure, you're a credit to old Kaposi.
00:11:03I don't know why, Frankie, but something
00:11:04tells me this is a big mistake.
00:11:06Well, take it easy, Buck.
00:11:07We've got to do it to save our faces.
00:11:09You ain't going to have no faces left if some girls find
00:11:11out he ain't the real Mr. Terry.
00:11:13Yeah, well, they're not going to find out unless somebody
00:11:15in this room tells them.
00:11:17That's not the point.
00:11:18Terry's an educated man and a great athlete.
00:11:21Suppose somebody starts asking him questions.
00:11:24Now, look, Herc, we're dependent on you.
00:11:27You know that, don't you?
00:11:28Sure, I never let down a pal in my life.
00:11:30That's it.
00:11:31That's fine.
00:11:31Now, look, have you got everything straight?
00:11:33Straight as a die.
00:11:34My name's Bob Terry, right?
00:11:36I'm terrific.
00:11:37Yeah, yeah, that's fine, Herc.
00:11:38But, you know, don't overdo it.
00:11:40I'm the top man on the rowing team.
00:11:42I've got a stroke.
00:11:44Oh, no, you are the stroke.
00:11:46That's right, I'm a rower.
00:11:48I'm a killer dealer with those oars.
00:11:50Whistle.
00:12:07It's getting late, Pat.
00:12:08Do you suppose anything could have happened?
00:12:10Oh, they'll be here.
00:12:11I hope.
00:12:21Well, this is it.
00:12:22Keep your fingers crossed, Jeff.
00:12:23If I cross them any harder, Mr. Frankie, I'll get bunions.
00:12:26Now, look, you sure you've got everything straight?
00:12:28It's in the bag.
00:12:29Boy, will I give those maternity sisters
00:12:31a run for their money.
00:12:32Oh, come on, come on.
00:12:50Oh, there you are, Frankie.
00:13:04Good evening, Mrs. Weems.
00:13:06I'd like to introduce you to Bob Terry.
00:13:08Hiya, Jeff.
00:13:09You boys will just wait here a minute
00:13:11and I'll get things ready.
00:13:13Who's the blimp?
00:13:14That happens to be Mrs. Weems, the house mother.
00:13:17She's the house mother?
00:13:18That happens to be Mrs. Weems, the house mother.
00:13:21All those gals are kids?
00:13:23Oh.
00:13:39Boys and girls, could I have your attention,
00:13:42everybody, please?
00:13:43I'd like to have you meet the young gentleman for whom
00:13:46this reception is being given.
00:13:47He's the son of Bob Terry.
00:13:54Isn't he good-looking?
00:13:55Not bad.
00:13:56Not bad at all.
00:13:58Folks, uh, kids, Bob's a little tired after his long trip
00:14:02and he wanted me to tell you to go ahead and enjoy yourself
00:14:05and have a good time, just like he wasn't here.
00:14:13What's the matter with you, you big dope?
00:14:15I told you to let me do all the talking.
00:14:16I was only trying to...
00:14:17Hello, Frankie.
00:14:18Oh, hello.
00:14:19Hey, how about meeting the ladies, Frankie?
00:14:22I'm your pal, ain't I?
00:14:23Yeah, yeah, sure.
00:14:25Miss Bess Martin, Miss Midge Lawrence, Bob Terry.
00:14:29What's new, babes?
00:14:30We're so glad you could come, Bob.
00:14:32We thought you'd never get here.
00:14:33Did you have a nice trip?
00:14:34Are you going to work out with the crew tomorrow?
00:14:36We do hope you might have a party.
00:14:38Do you dance?
00:14:39Hey, hey, come on, break it up, will you?
00:14:40Can't you see Bob's tired?
00:14:42How do you like that, tired?
00:14:43I never felt better in my life.
00:14:47You're not too tired to dance, are you, Bob?
00:14:50Maybe.
00:14:51Too tired to dance with a dish like you
00:14:53is something I never get.
00:14:58Now, will you excuse us a minute?
00:15:00I want to talk to Bob.
00:15:06What's the idea, anyway?
00:15:07Lay off, will you?
00:15:07That's my girl.
00:15:09Is that a fact?
00:15:09Yeah.
00:15:11Brother, you sure can pick them.
00:15:14Slip me your dukes and start hanging on, sister.
00:15:16We're off to startle the natives.
00:15:19Oh, don't feel bad, Tootsie.
00:15:20You're next.
00:15:31Oh, come on, Frankie.
00:15:32There's no sense in wasting all this good music.
00:15:34No, thanks, Mitch.
00:15:35Don't put yourself out.
00:15:36But don't feel too bad, Tootsie.
00:15:38You could have the next dance.
00:15:44Look at that boy, now, wouldn't he?
00:15:45He's dancing with Gus like he's got a mortgage on him.
00:15:47Who does he think he is, anyway?
00:15:49Bob Terry, right to the T.
00:15:51Yeah, something tells me we're in for it.
00:15:53Yeah, well, don't worry.
00:15:55Tomorrow he gets drafted, remember?
00:15:56And tomorrow's a long way off.
00:15:58What can happen between now and then?
00:16:12Guess who?
00:16:13You can just take them feelers away any time, Shoefoot.
00:16:16You ain't fooling nobody.
00:16:17I ain't trying to.
00:16:18I know it was me all the time.
00:16:20Just make sure you know it was me.
00:16:22Here, make yourself useful.
00:16:24Start carving.
00:16:25On who?
00:16:26On that hand.
00:16:28Oh, Malvinie.
00:16:30He is all spruced up and quivering to coat my gown.
00:16:34And you push me to work on carving dead meat.
00:16:37You gonna be dead meat if you don't shut up.
00:16:39You ain't got no business here, no, huh?
00:16:42You ain't no fraternity boy.
00:16:46I beg your pardon.
00:16:49What is this?
00:16:50I wouldn't know.
00:16:52This is what us in the social swim call the pledge button.
00:16:56Is that so?
00:16:58To a fraternity?
00:17:00Indubitably.
00:17:04Well, now.
00:17:05That's me.
00:17:06That's a little job, honey pie.
00:17:08Yeah, I don't care if I do.
00:17:12I can't hold this.
00:17:13I told you to let me go.
00:17:14I'll get that guy.
00:17:16You're a baby.
00:17:17You can't help it.
00:17:22I love him.
00:17:24I love him.
00:17:26I didn't say I didn't love him.
00:17:28Guess I love him.
00:17:29He's all mine.
00:17:32Then I love him too.
00:17:33But I love you, Malvinie.
00:17:36Here he is.
00:17:37He came all the way from Massachusetts.
00:17:39Hey, you don't believe in overdoing a thing, do you?
00:17:42I'm just having fun, like you told me.
00:17:44Sure, sure, that's all right, but why at somebody else's expense?
00:17:46Oh, you worry too much, pal.
00:17:48Ah.
00:17:49Hey, this stuff ain't nothing but colored water.
00:17:52Ain't you got some bourbon or something
00:17:53to brighten that mess up with, sister?
00:17:55Of course not, you dope.
00:17:56Don't you know you're not allowed to have intoxicating
00:17:58liquors at a sorority dance?
00:17:59Oh, minors, huh?
00:18:00Yeah.
00:18:02Hello.
00:18:03Oh, hiya, Itsy Bitsy.
00:18:04I've been looking all over for you.
00:18:05We got the next dance, you know.
00:18:07Have we?
00:18:07Uh-huh.
00:18:08And I mean it.
00:18:09Oh, all right.
00:18:10I was only trying to make him feel at home.
00:18:12Well, try making me feel at home for a change.
00:18:14Maybe I like it, too.
00:18:24Our next number will be a specialty by Mitch Lawrence.
00:18:34Why, that's me.
00:18:35Pardon me, Miss Lawrence, but I wouldn't
00:18:37keep my public waiting.
00:18:38Frankie Monahan, I could.
00:18:41Pardon me, Bob.
00:18:42I have to do a number.
00:18:43It's one the dance will keep.
00:18:44Give out.
00:18:45I'm all ears.
00:18:46Look what you have done to me.
00:19:00Got me higher than a tree.
00:19:03I've been acting differently since you came along.
00:19:07Look what you have done to me.
00:19:10I'm in the air, I'm in the air, I'm in the air.
00:19:14I'm as dizzy as can be.
00:19:17I drink beef stew, I chew tea, since you came along.
00:19:22It was you who knocked me for a row of pins,
00:19:27who started my head doing spins, until I found
00:19:31that I went round like a merry-go-round.
00:19:34Look what you have done to me.
00:19:37I'm not acting naturally.
00:19:39I'm not what I used to be.
00:19:42Since you came along.
00:19:45Look what you have done to me.
00:19:48I think two and two are three.
00:19:51I'm not all that mentally.
00:19:53Since you came along.
00:19:56Look what you have done to me.
00:19:59I act foolish as can be.
00:20:02I do things haphazardly.
00:20:04Since you came along.
00:20:06Yes, it was you, you, you,
00:20:09who knocked me for a row of pins,
00:20:12who started my head doing spins, until I found
00:20:16that I went round like a merry-go-round.
00:20:19Look what you have done to me.
00:20:22I know I don't want to be
00:20:24so producing fancy cream.
00:20:27Since you came along.
00:20:31Why, Coach Walsh and Professor Whittaker,
00:20:34how nice of you to come to our party.
00:20:36I heard Bob Terry was over here.
00:20:38I thought I'd like to meet the boy informally
00:20:40in order to put him at ease.
00:20:42I see.
00:20:43Of course, he is right inside.
00:20:46Bob, this is Professor Whittaker.
00:20:49What's doing, Pop?
00:20:50And Coach Walsh.
00:20:52He's a member of our crew.
00:20:53Oh, that's so?
00:20:54Howdy, Coach.
00:20:55I'm glad to have you with us, Bob.
00:20:57I've heard a good deal about your record.
00:20:59Coach, you ain't heard nothing.
00:21:00If the facts were known about my record,
00:21:02it would knock your eye out.
00:21:03Oh, I'm sorry, Bob.
00:21:04I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:05I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:06I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:07I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:08I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:09I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:10I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:11I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:12I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:13I'm afraid I can't.
00:21:14If the facts were known about my record,
00:21:15it would knock your eye out.
00:21:16So you're the great Bob Ketterling.
00:21:18That's me, Pop, with a capital T,
00:21:22but you can call me Hurks.
00:21:23Hurks?
00:21:24Sure, you know, short for Hercurlies.
00:21:27Hercurlies.
00:21:29How do you like that?
00:21:30A college propaganda
00:21:31ain't even heard of Hercurlies.
00:21:33He's the guy that carried the big ball
00:21:34around on the back of his neck.
00:21:36You mean Atlas?
00:21:38Can I tell me who I mean?
00:21:39Uh, hello, Coach.
00:21:40Hi, Professor, glad to see ya.
00:21:41Hello, OA.
00:21:42Bob, are you still here?
00:21:43But you want to be home in bed, huh?
00:21:45Well, certainly.
00:21:46You can't keep late hours in train, too, you know.
00:21:48I should say not.
00:21:49You've got to be fresh so you can be in there
00:21:51pitching in the morning.
00:21:51Oh, I ain't sleepy.
00:21:52Well, we better be running along.
00:21:53Good night, coach. Good night.
00:21:54Good night.
00:21:55Good night, Miss Wade.
00:22:00Hit me again, Midnight.
00:22:01Yes, sir.
00:22:02And my name's Jeff.
00:22:04I won't hold that against you.
00:22:06For the last time, Herc, you can't get away with it.
00:22:08It's impossible.
00:22:09It'd never work out.
00:22:10They'd be on to you in a minute.
00:22:12The whole thing's ridiculous.
00:22:13Utterly ridiculous.
00:22:14Now, why don't you be a nice fellow, Herc?
00:22:16Forget about it.
00:22:17You've got to.
00:22:18Keep talking, boys.
00:22:19Don't do no good, Mr. Frankie.
00:22:21Them boys just roll off his back like a duck.
00:22:24You said it, pal.
00:22:25I didn't ask to be no college kid.
00:22:27This was your idea.
00:22:28But now that I am, I like it.
00:22:31So I'm staying.
00:22:32Why?
00:22:33What for?
00:22:34Well, maybe I want to improve my mind.
00:22:36Get good standards.
00:22:37Maybe I'd like to be in a big shot.
00:22:39Maybe I like all those pretty little co-eds.
00:22:41Hey, wait a minute, you.
00:22:43Suppose we don't let you get away with this.
00:22:45Then what?
00:22:46What keep out of you, sonny boy?
00:22:47And I'll smear this stunt of yours from one end
00:22:49of the campus to the other.
00:22:50I'll make it so tough on you while you're dying.
00:22:52Pa, don't say it.
00:22:53Don't say any more.
00:22:54He's got a crook's leg.
00:22:56Yeah.
00:22:57Looks that way.
00:22:58How about his studies?
00:22:59Bob Terry was an honor man at prep school.
00:23:02Sure.
00:23:03Why didn't I think of that?
00:23:04If you stay here, you're going to attend classes.
00:23:06I'll get through my studies.
00:23:07You little kids will see to that.
00:23:09Oh, Herc.
00:23:10I sure hate to think what Coach Wash is going to say
00:23:13when he find out what we done gone and done to his crew.
00:23:16Crew?
00:23:18That's right.
00:23:19If you stay at Raleigh, you've got to go out to the crew.
00:23:22What's that?
00:23:23Didn't you tell me once that you didn't like boats?
00:23:26I guess I just thinkin' about them.
00:23:28Oh, well, isn't that too bad, fellas?
00:23:30You know, when you go out to the crew,
00:23:32they take you for a nice long boat ride every day.
00:23:36You're kidding?
00:23:37No, look.
00:23:38You're out on the water in a 60-foot shell.
00:23:40It's only two feet wide.
00:23:41It's so narrow that it dips with every little ripple.
00:23:44The sun is beating down on your head.
00:23:46You're getting awful dizzy.
00:23:47Your tongue is dry.
00:23:48You're putting all you've got into your oar.
00:23:50Stroke.
00:23:51Stroke.
00:23:52The boat's going back and forth, back and forth.
00:23:55Your insides are all churned up.
00:23:57And your boat's going back and forth.
00:23:59Stop it.
00:24:00I can't stand it.
00:24:01How do you like it, Herc?
00:24:02It's awful.
00:24:03That's just when the water's calm.
00:24:05You ought to be out there when it's rough.
00:24:07Please, I can't take it.
00:24:08Well, Herc, you still want to stay at Raleigh?
00:24:11Yes.
00:24:12It's do or die for dear old Raleigh.
00:24:15I'll row that boat if it kills me.
00:24:17Oh.
00:24:23Hit.
00:24:24Hit.
00:24:25Hit.
00:24:26Hit.
00:24:27Hit.
00:24:28Hit.
00:24:29Hit.
00:24:30Hit.
00:24:31Hit.
00:24:32Hit.
00:24:33Hit.
00:24:34Hit.
00:24:35Hit.
00:24:36Come on, Herc, give it to me, all you got.
00:24:37Hit.
00:24:38Hit.
00:24:39Come on, keep that oar up, higher.
00:24:40Want to catch a crab?
00:24:42That's more like it.
00:24:43Come on, hit.
00:24:44Hit.
00:24:45More power, more speed.
00:24:46Come on, Herc.
00:24:47Hit.
00:24:48Hit.
00:24:49Hit.
00:24:50Oh, hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:24:51No use.
00:24:52He'll never get on to it like this.
00:24:53I think what he needs is a seat that'll
00:24:54slide back and forth into the stroke
00:24:55like they have in the shell.
00:24:56Well, if Mr. Herb don't mind riding with me
00:24:58while I clean house, he can sit on my cotton sweeper.
00:25:02Say, Jeff, you've given me an idea.
00:25:04Uh-oh, here it comes.
00:25:05We're going to play piggyback.
00:25:07No, we ain't either, not unless you tell me
00:25:09first who's going to be the piggy.
00:25:10Don't say it, Mr. Frank.
00:25:11I can see it in your eyes.
00:25:14Come here.
00:25:15All right, now get down here.
00:25:16Now, wait a minute.
00:25:17What about my self-respect?
00:25:18I've been set on enough as it is.
00:25:19One more customer's not going to hurt you.
00:25:21Now, come on, we haven't got all night.
00:25:23Every time I open my mouth, I get tooken.
00:25:25It don't say nothing about this in the wagon, Herc.
00:25:27Come on, get on.
00:25:28Look, how long is this dizzy routine
00:25:31going to keep up anyway?
00:25:32Until you learn to stroke a shelf.
00:25:34Oh, anybody can row a boat, and besides, I'm tired.
00:25:37Get him, he's tired.
00:25:39You haven't even rowed a mile yet.
00:25:41What are you going to do when you get out there
00:25:42in that bay in stiff competition?
00:25:44It's a three-mile grind at top speed.
00:25:46I'll collapse.
00:25:47Not all mean.
00:25:48I thought so, a softie.
00:25:50It's no use, Herc.
00:25:51You might as well give up.
00:25:52The coach will kick you off the squad at the first workout.
00:25:54And that means kicked out of school.
00:25:56That's what you think.
00:25:57If you and them other monkeys can stand the gaff, so can I.
00:26:00Give me that oar.
00:26:01I'll whirl you around this bay in nothing flat.
00:26:05Take it easy, now.
00:26:06This ain't no barbeque.
00:26:07Let's go.
00:26:08OK.
00:26:09Move just like a seat.
00:26:10That's it, Jeff.
00:26:11Herc.
00:26:12Herc.
00:26:13Herc.
00:26:14Give me all you got, Herc.
00:26:15Herc.
00:26:16Herc.
00:26:17Herc.
00:26:18I don't got a thing to me.
00:26:19Get up, Jeff.
00:26:20What's the matter with you?
00:26:21I can't.
00:26:22The boat done sunk.
00:26:24Herc.
00:26:25Herc.
00:26:26Come on, Herc.
00:26:27Come on, get the line.
00:26:28Herc.
00:26:29Herc.
00:26:31Herc.
00:26:33What's the matter with them?
00:26:35They handle those skunks like old women.
00:26:37You know how it is, coach.
00:26:39First day out and all that.
00:26:41I've never seen anybody that bad at any time.
00:26:44Herc.
00:26:45Come on, Herc.
00:26:46Come on.
00:26:47Herc.
00:26:48Herc.
00:26:49Look at Terry there.
00:26:50Supposed to be the best prep stroke in the country.
00:26:53You'd think he never saw a boat before.
00:26:55You don't know the half of it.
00:26:57What's that?
00:26:58I mean, maybe they use smaller boats at the prep school.
00:27:01Aw, what are you talking about?
00:27:03Hey, you, Terry.
00:27:04What's the matter with you?
00:27:05Get that oar out of the water.
00:27:07Shut up, blubber mouth.
00:27:08I'll wrap it around your neck.
00:27:10Save your wits, Terry.
00:27:11You heard what he said.
00:27:12Come on, start bending on that oar.
00:27:14I can't, Frankie.
00:27:16I don't feel so good.
00:27:18I expected that.
00:27:22What's that?
00:27:24Just for your benefit.
00:27:26These will either cure you or kill you.
00:27:28Here.
00:27:29Hey.
00:27:30Herc.
00:27:31Tastes like chocolate.
00:27:32Well, that's fine, then.
00:27:33Come on, let's go.
00:27:35Herc.
00:27:36Herc.
00:27:38Sorry, Herc.
00:27:39Take it easy.
00:27:40You just caught a crab.
00:27:41Now, look at that.
00:27:43Terry, the great oarsman catches a crab.
00:27:46That wasn't Terry, coach.
00:27:48It was Tab.
00:27:49Tab.
00:27:50Tab.
00:27:51Tab.
00:27:52Tab.
00:27:53It was Tab.
00:27:54Don't tell me.
00:27:55I saw it with my own eyes.
00:27:56That was Terry.
00:27:57No, sir.
00:27:58It was Tab Lane.
00:27:59Are you sure?
00:28:00Absolutely.
00:28:07Gee, I'm sorry, coach.
00:28:09My glasses.
00:28:10I've lost my glasses.
00:28:11Gosh, I'm sorry.
00:28:13I can't see.
00:28:14They're gone.
00:28:15I can't see.
00:28:16That was a special prescription, too, wasn't it?
00:28:18I don't know when I can get another pair.
00:28:20Oh, that's a shame.
00:28:22Maybe I can check the crew for you, coach.
00:28:24An old Chinese proverb says, better to see with eyes of youth
00:28:28than not to see at all.
00:28:29Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:30That's it, Buck.
00:28:31That's it.
00:28:32You watch him and report to me.
00:28:33Bad luck to call off first day's practice.
00:28:35Sure is.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:40Say, they're doing all right.
00:28:43Frankie's up the count, and Terry's pulling ahead
00:28:45like a champion.
00:28:46Yes.
00:28:48That's the boy, Terry.
00:28:49That's the way.
00:28:51You're like that champion they said you were.
00:28:54Hut.
00:28:56Hut.
00:28:58Hut.
00:29:00Hut.
00:29:06Now, listen.
00:29:07Don't worry about anything.
00:29:08No.
00:29:09That's what's necessary.
00:29:10If you look at me outside, you'll get any answers.
00:29:12You'll get any answers.
00:29:13What are you looking so worried about?
00:29:16Well, why shouldn't we be?
00:29:17Hurt doesn't know a thing about biology.
00:29:19So much the better.
00:29:20Let him flunk out.
00:29:21Then we're rid of him.
00:29:22Yeah, well, you didn't see what we saw today.
00:29:24He's got the makings of a great stroke.
00:29:26I know he has.
00:29:27I watched him every minute.
00:29:28With a little practice, he'll be terrific.
00:29:32That beats me.
00:29:33Don't be surprised if it beats Standish
00:29:35in the big race this year.
00:29:36This afternoon, we will renew our experiments
00:29:38in this section.
00:29:39For our perpetrators, I brought to class
00:29:42a rather handsome specimen of the common bullfrog,
00:29:46known to science as genus Orama gigante.
00:29:51Hmm.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:53Glasses.
00:29:54Glasses.
00:29:55Glasses.
00:29:56Glasses.
00:29:57Glasses.
00:29:58Glasses.
00:29:59Glasses.
00:30:00Glasses.
00:30:01Glasses.
00:30:02Glasses.
00:30:03Glasses.
00:30:04Glasses.
00:30:06Glasses.
00:30:07Where did I put those glasses?
00:30:09On your forehead, Professor.
00:30:12Of course.
00:30:14Thank you very much, Miss Barton.
00:30:16Yes, now, where?
00:30:17Where, where, where, where was I?
00:30:18Oh, oh, oh, oh, yes, the frog.
00:30:20Mm-hmm.
00:30:21Genus Orama gigante.
00:30:23Now, in this bag, this bag, I have a frog.
00:30:26Huh?
00:30:28Huh?
00:30:31But I ate my lunch, didn't I?
00:30:34Oh, I ate something.
00:30:41Oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:30:44What a relief.
00:30:46I remember now.
00:30:47I ate in the cafeteria.
00:30:49Come, come, come, now, back to work.
00:30:53The dissection and study of the genus Orama common bullfrog.
00:30:57Perhaps you can tell us why the frog is such a remarkable specimen for dissection.
00:31:03Now, Mr. Terry.
00:31:05Huh?
00:31:06What did you say?
00:31:07Mr. Terry, I am not in the habit of chewing my carriage twice.
00:31:10Why is the frog the perfect specimen for dissection?
00:31:14I don't know, unless maybe because their legs are such good eaters.
00:31:18This is not a class in cookery, Mr. Terry.
00:31:21We're concerned here solely with functions of biological.
00:31:25Mr. Monaghan, perhaps you can enlighten Mr. Terry.
00:31:29Frog is used for dissectional purposes because of its close resemblance to the human body.
00:31:33No fooling.
00:31:37Don't look like nobody I ever knew.
00:31:39Mr. Terry.
00:31:41Either you are grossly fatuous or incontinentally stupid.
00:31:45If it weren't for your excellent scholastic recordage of a preparatory school,
00:31:49I would have dismissed you at once.
00:31:51As it is, I will give you one more chance to redeem yourself.
00:31:53You will appear here tomorrow ready to dissect this frog.
00:31:58Enos Rummer.
00:32:00Dick Antus.
00:32:01The class is dismissed.
00:32:09You had to open your big mouth.
00:32:11What was I going to do? The old groon asked me a question, didn't he?
00:32:14You could have said you were unprepared.
00:32:16Because frog legs make such good eaters.
00:32:18All right, all right. So I pulled a boner.
00:32:20What I'm worried about is how am I going to dissect that frog.
00:32:23I don't know anything about frogs.
00:32:24Well, don't worry about that, sweetheart.
00:32:26You're gonna, but good.
00:32:28Better not try anything this afternoon. We might get caught.
00:32:30We'll do it tonight.
00:32:31Tonight? But I've got a date tonight.
00:32:34You said it. Right here with little Enos Rummer.
00:32:42The big game of the year with us, the odds are on paper.
00:32:44That's on a Tanamibian of the game. I'm the finger man, see?
00:32:47Finger man?
00:32:48Yeah, you know, the hot shot.
00:32:50So why don't we bust onto the field with me leading my gang against that bunch from Penn.
00:32:54Penn State?
00:32:55The crowd's going crazy.
00:32:56They're yelling for me to kick in with a touchdown, okay?
00:32:59The pitcher cuts loose with a stiff curve.
00:33:01But Bob, you don't have pitchers in football.
00:33:04Yeah, well, what do they call that guy that makes all the passes?
00:33:10I thought we'd find you here.
00:33:12Hello, Tan.
00:33:14Hiya, Frankie.
00:33:15Bob's been telling us the most marvelous stories about his exploits on the gridiron.
00:33:20Ha! Now he's a football star.
00:33:24I'll say he is.
00:33:25Did he ever tell you about the time he made six touchdowns in a row before the whistle blew?
00:33:29Oh, that was nothing.
00:33:30You're telling us.
00:33:31Well, you've had your fun. Now come on, we've got some work to do.
00:33:34You go do it.
00:33:36Bob's staying right here.
00:33:38Yeah, over my dead body. He's got a cramp in that anatomy testimony.
00:33:41He's still staying here.
00:33:43Come on, tear yourself loose, will you?
00:33:45You heard what the lady said.
00:33:46I'm staying.
00:33:47Well, how about that testimony?
00:33:48You take it for me.
00:33:50Okay, okay, if that's the way you want it.
00:33:52But it's your funeral.
00:33:53Come on, Tan.
00:33:54Goodbye, boy.
00:33:55Goodbye.
00:33:57Oh, where was I?
00:33:59Oh, yeah.
00:34:00I was on the one yard line.
00:34:02The bases were loaded.
00:34:03It was third down and two strikes.
00:34:04What a day.
00:34:07Are you sure you understand everything?
00:34:09It's running out my ears.
00:34:10Look, fellas, couldn't we just forget the whole thing?
00:34:12I got the jitters.
00:34:13Not a chance.
00:34:14The prof said you were going to dissect that frog and you're gonna.
00:34:17Couldn't we just shoot it and be done with it?
00:34:19Hey, get a load of this.
00:34:21Due to the wanton destruction of the laboratory
00:34:23by unknown vandals last night,
00:34:25classes in biology two will be suspended indefinitely.
00:34:29Professor Whitaker,
00:34:30substantial reward will be paid for any information
00:34:33leading to the arrest of these ruffians.
00:34:35Boy, what a break.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:39Yeah, and, uh,
00:34:41quite a coincidence, huh, Buck?
00:34:43Oh, yeah.
00:34:44Old Chinese proverbs say,
00:34:46man who looked gift horse in mouth,
00:34:48liable to find China money in wood pile.
00:34:51You were right, Buck.
00:34:53That, Terry, is the greatest stroke I've ever seen.
00:34:55Yes, sir.
00:34:57Tip.
00:34:59Tip.
00:35:00Come on, come on.
00:35:01Pick him up and lay him down.
00:35:03Tip.
00:35:05Tip.
00:35:06Come on, gang, keep it up.
00:35:07The coach is all eyes.
00:35:08Tip.
00:35:10Tip.
00:35:12Tip.
00:35:13Lesson number 64.
00:35:15In it, the metatarsus, uh,
00:35:18the metatarsus comprises,
00:35:21when all the digits is present,
00:35:24five elongated bones in the foot
00:35:27or a skeleton between the phalanges of the detarsus.
00:35:33What's a tarsus?
00:35:35Well, if I'm mistaken, that's what you're sitting on.
00:35:40The, uh, the metatarsus,
00:35:43the, uh, the metatarsus comprises,
00:35:46when all digits is present,
00:35:49of five long bones between the, uh, phalanges and the tarsus,
00:35:55uh, which you sat on.
00:35:57Oh.
00:36:08The collegiate racing season draws to a close this Saturday.
00:36:10Raleigh U, the year's most sensational crew,
00:36:12under the brilliant stroke of Bob Terry,
00:36:14goes to the starting gun, a two-to-one favorite,
00:36:16over its traditional rival and toughest competitor, Standish.
00:36:19Victory in this race might mean the national championship for Raleigh.
00:36:23Gee, the national championship.
00:36:26Didn't I tell you that Hurk was a great stroke?
00:36:28You didn't tell me anything.
00:36:29I saw that arm of his before you even knew he had one.
00:36:31You saw it.
00:36:32Listen, if you'll remember...
00:36:33Oh, hi, Coach.
00:36:34Hello, Coach.
00:36:35Hello, Gordon.
00:36:36We're just looking at the morning paper.
00:36:37Have you seen it?
00:36:39It says that we're favored two-to-one
00:36:40to win the big race Saturday.
00:36:41If we win that race, maybe the national championship.
00:36:43That's pretty good, huh?
00:36:44Pretty good.
00:36:45It's terrific.
00:36:46The greatest crew Raleigh's ever had.
00:36:48It'd be a shame if I can't hold it together.
00:36:51You can't hold it together?
00:36:53Hey.
00:36:54Hey, wait a minute, Coach.
00:36:55I don't get you.
00:36:56What do you mean?
00:36:57I mean, you do.
00:36:58Just had a talk with the dean.
00:36:59Unless your marks improve, I've had orders
00:37:01to drop you from the crew.
00:37:03Oh, but you wouldn't do it.
00:37:04Would you?
00:37:05Coach, wait a minute.
00:37:06Drop from the crew?
00:37:07There ain't no justice.
00:37:08How do you like that?
00:37:09We break our backs making that guy
00:37:11the greatest stroke in the country.
00:37:12Ruin our grades so he can be an honor student.
00:37:14Where do we wind up?
00:37:16In the soup.
00:37:17Yeah, up to our necks.
00:37:18Oh, why didn't I stick to biology?
00:37:20Well, at least there's one consolation.
00:37:22Thanks can't be any worse.
00:37:23Hello, Tad.
00:37:24Hello, Frankie.
00:37:25Hi.
00:37:26Could I see you a moment, Tad?
00:37:29Yeah, sure.
00:37:30What's on your mind?
00:37:32Well, I don't know how to tell you this, Tad, but.
00:37:35Tell me what?
00:37:36Well, you know how the world changes.
00:37:40Progress, new ideas.
00:37:42Hey, what is this, a lesson in economics?
00:37:44No, I'm just trying to show how things and people change.
00:37:49Right, they change.
00:37:50So what about it?
00:37:55Please don't take this too hard, Tad.
00:37:59But here.
00:38:02What's this for?
00:38:05Well, it's not fair to string you along any further, Tad.
00:38:07You're too fine a boy for that, and I'm, well,
00:38:11I'm going to marry someone else.
00:38:13Marry?
00:38:14You're going to?
00:38:16How about your mother?
00:38:17What will she think?
00:38:18Well, what's that got to do with it?
00:38:21Nothing, only you're so young.
00:38:23Who's the man?
00:38:25Bob Terry.
00:38:26Bob Terry?
00:38:27Boy, that dirty double-crosser.
00:38:29Oh, please, Tad, don't.
00:38:31I'd feel just awful if you two boys fought over me.
00:38:34I want you and Bob always to be good friends.
00:38:37Good friends.
00:38:41Please don't think unkindly of me, Tad.
00:38:44Henceforth, at best.
00:38:46Goodbye, and all the luck in the world.
00:38:49Yeah, sure.
00:38:53Goodbye, Frankie, and all the luck in the world.
00:38:57Sure, thanks.
00:39:04You too?
00:39:06Yeah, me too.
00:39:09Well, he can't marry both of them, can he?
00:39:11I'd like to see him try it.
00:39:13Yeah, so would I.
00:39:14There's a law against bigamy in this state, isn't there?
00:39:18Oh, sure.
00:39:20There's got to be.
00:39:21Let's do a little dreamin' of castles in Spain.
00:39:26Caviar and champagne.
00:39:28Vacations way up in Maine.
00:39:30Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:39:35Let's do a little dreamin' of velvety Jane.
00:39:40Niagra's cascading.
00:39:42Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:39:45Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:39:48A velvety Jane.
00:39:49Niagara's cascading.
00:39:51A car that is fully paid.
00:39:53Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:39:57Great girl.
00:39:58Crazy about it.
00:39:59Oh, baby.
00:40:01How I wish I didn't have to wish it.
00:40:05Mmm, baby.
00:40:08I can take it.
00:40:09Just go ahead and dish it to me.
00:40:12Let's do a little dreamin' of cocktails and swings.
00:40:17A ray in the spring.
00:40:18A Tiffany diamond ring.
00:40:20Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:40:25Let's do a little dreamin' of well-behaved dice.
00:40:29Uh-uh.
00:40:30Shoes isn't right.
00:40:31Of gin that is cheap as ice.
00:40:33Come on, honey.
00:40:34Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:40:35Won't you, honey?
00:40:36Mm-hmm.
00:40:37Will you?
00:40:38Mmm.
00:40:39Now, let's do a little dreamin'.
00:40:41A view and a trade of horses not played.
00:40:45A razor without a blade.
00:40:47Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:40:51Oh, oh, baby.
00:40:55How I wish I didn't have to fake it.
00:40:58Mmm, baby.
00:41:01Go ahead and dish it out, because I can take it.
00:41:05Well, let's do a little dreamin' of debts I wish paid.
00:41:09Is you text in the haze?
00:41:11Woman, is you calling a spade a spade?
00:41:13Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:41:21Let's do a little dreamin'.
00:41:29Well, here we are.
00:41:31Back home at dear old Kappa Psi.
00:41:33Hi, fellas.
00:41:34Glad to know you.
00:41:35Just in time for the big party, huh?
00:41:37Say, you know, it looks like the boys are doing all right by old Kappa Psi, eh, Bill?
00:41:42Well, go ahead right in, fellas.
00:41:43Enjoy yourself.
00:41:44We sure will.
00:41:45Yeah, you don't have to bother about us.
00:41:47We won't.
00:41:48Say, by the way, lad, I want you to meet Bullet Bill Miller.
00:41:51Used to call him the fastest human.
00:41:52Ain't so fast as he was, and there always was a little doubt that he was human.
00:41:56Great guy, though.
00:41:57Broke the hundred in nine-six.
00:41:59He did.
00:42:01I was pressed into it.
00:42:04This is Speed Dorman, the terror of the gridiron a few years back.
00:42:07Glad to know you.
00:42:08Say, those were the good old days.
00:42:10I remember a play we used to have.
00:42:12Tell us.
00:42:13Excuse me, please.
00:42:14Excuse me.
00:42:23They sure look young, don't they?
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:27Hey, Mr. Frankie, who is them two gentlemen?
00:42:29They act like they own the place.
00:42:31Well, they're just a couple of old grads that came back for the reunion before the big race tomorrow.
00:42:35You know, Jeff, there's what is known as the necessary evil.
00:42:39Like playing horses, huh?
00:42:43Hey, aren't you Bob Terry?
00:42:45That's me in the flesh, pal.
00:42:47Didn't I tell you to put her there, brother?
00:42:49Kappa Psi is proud of you, son.
00:42:51Yes, sir.
00:42:52Hello, Butch.
00:42:53What tongue do you belong to?
00:42:57Shake hands with old Bob, Speed.
00:42:59Hiya, Bob, old boy.
00:43:01Going to win the big race for old Raleigh tomorrow, eh, boy?
00:43:05Yeah.
00:43:07Hiya, darn.
00:43:09Hey, feel that arm.
00:43:11Just like old Slugger, huh?
00:43:13Old Slugger Wilson.
00:43:14Boy, there was a stroke.
00:43:16Yeah.
00:43:17You just bet your bottom dollar he was.
00:43:19Yes, sir.
00:43:20Slug Wilson.
00:43:21Built like an army tank, only with a wider tread.
00:43:23Did you ever hear about his last race against Standish?
00:43:26Tell him, Bill.
00:43:27Well, it was like this.
00:43:28The Standish bunch were tough babies this year, and we...
00:43:31Star Dance, Bob?
00:43:33It sure is, baby.
00:43:34You know how it is, fellas.
00:43:36You are a lifesaver.
00:43:40How do you like that?
00:43:42I don't like that.
00:43:43I repeat, my interests at Raleigh are strictly academic.
00:43:47Look, you don't understand what this means to the school, professor.
00:43:50It's the first time we've had a chance to win the big race since 1926.
00:43:5428.
00:43:55Yeah, when Slug Wilson was stroke.
00:43:57Well, thank you.
00:43:58You're welcome.
00:43:59If you take Frankie and Ted off the team now,
00:44:01our chances of winning will just fly right out the window.
00:44:04Hey, who's going to take who off whose team?
00:44:06I am.
00:44:07Their averages do not merit athletic privileges.
00:44:09Averages?
00:44:10What have averages got to do with it?
00:44:12They forget all that stuff the minute they get out of school anyhow.
00:44:15I beg your pardon.
00:44:16It's a fact.
00:44:17Look at me.
00:44:18I forgot everything I ever learned here.
00:44:20Yeah, and he forgot it before he left here.
00:44:22Obviously.
00:44:24Look, as an alumnus of Raleigh University,
00:44:26I demand that those two boys remain on the team.
00:44:29Gentlemen, if you don't mind, this is a private conversation.
00:44:34All right, but we came all the way from Des Moines to see this race.
00:44:37Yeah, and we want to see Raleigh win it.
00:44:39We'll do our best to satisfy your desire.
00:44:41That's all.
00:44:47Couldn't you put them on probation, Professor?
00:44:50I'm sure their averages will improve.
00:44:52I'd like to, Coach.
00:44:53But after all, I have my own duty to perform.
00:44:56What about your duty to Raleigh?
00:44:58Very well.
00:44:59I'll make the exception just this once.
00:45:02If their averages do not improve definitely.
00:45:04Off they go.
00:45:27Midge.
00:45:28Hey, Midge, can I have the next dance?
00:45:30Well, I'd like to.
00:45:31I'd like to, Frankie, but you're so small.
00:45:34So small?
00:45:35So small.
00:45:36Anyhow, Ted wants me to sing the next number.
00:45:40Women.
00:45:41That's what I get for going to a co-educational school.
00:45:46Give me a slug of punch.
00:45:47Coming up.
00:45:48Howdy.
00:45:49Having a nice time, little fella?
00:45:50Are you?
00:46:01Sweet 16, the happy time when life and rhyme is sweet 16.
00:46:14Your heart is light and love is bright as moonlight gleams.
00:46:20On all your dreams, the whole world seems in tune with life
00:46:28and love when you are sweet 16.
00:46:31Where the he's beyond comparable, sweet 16.
00:46:37When every glance seeks of romance, you dance along
00:46:43to love so strong when you are sweet 16.
00:46:52Great kid.
00:46:53Crazy about it.
00:47:01What seems to be the trouble with the little fella?
00:47:03That Mr. Frankie, he sure has got the misery.
00:47:05That's too bad.
00:47:06How come?
00:47:07Just Mr. Bob Terryman.
00:47:08He ain't only taking Mr. Frankie's gal,
00:47:10but he's been taking up so much of their time
00:47:12that they're about to get flunked and throwed off the crew.
00:47:15Sweet 16, you swear that he's beyond comparable, sweet 16.
00:47:25When every glance seeks of romance, you dance along
00:47:31to love so strong when you are sweet 16.
00:47:44Oh, honey, ain't that music pretty?
00:47:46Supposed to mean you go outside and do a bit of divate.
00:47:49Mm-mm.
00:47:50Not me, brother.
00:47:51I've been standing since morning.
00:47:54I've been standing since morning, and my feet's killing me.
00:47:57Is that so?
00:47:58You know what the trouble with you is?
00:48:00No.
00:48:01Well, you've got the metatarsus trouble.
00:48:03Metatarsus?
00:48:04Mm-hmm.
00:48:05What's that?
00:48:06You don't know what metatarsus is?
00:48:07Well, I'll tell you.
00:48:08Now, you see, metatarsus is when all the digits in the foot
00:48:12is present, with five elongated bones between the phalanges,
00:48:16except February, which has 26.
00:48:19My goodness.
00:48:20How come you know all these big words?
00:48:23Now, how come?
00:48:24You student here?
00:48:25Well, you see, I'm the tutor for Mr. Herc.
00:48:27Herc?
00:48:28Mm-hmm.
00:48:29That's Mr. Bob Terry.
00:48:30He ain't very bright.
00:48:31Mr. Ted and Mr. Frankie and me, we have to give him lessons
00:48:34so we can keep him on the crew.
00:48:35You mean those boys have been coaching Terry through school?
00:48:38Them and me, with me as the head coach.
00:48:41That's why they've been plucking their own classes, huh?
00:48:44I don't get it, Speed.
00:48:45Terry was an honor man in prep school.
00:48:47You know, I smell something fishy around here, Bill.
00:48:51So do I.
00:48:52Speed, something tells me we owe it to dear old Raleigh
00:48:54to look into this matter.
00:48:56Yeah.
00:48:57Why do they have to coach Terry?
00:48:59Yeah, why?
00:49:00Why?
00:49:01Well, because when they found him in the streets,
00:49:03he was, uh-oh.
00:49:04Excuse me, y'all.
00:49:05I got to go after y'all.
00:49:06Now, wait a minute.
00:49:07Wait a minute.
00:49:08Yeah, we'd like to talk to you.
00:49:09I don't know nothing.
00:49:10I don't know nothing.
00:49:11That's all right.
00:49:12We want to talk to you just the same, don't we, Speed?
00:49:14We certainly do.
00:49:15You'd better come along with us.
00:49:17I don't know nothing.
00:49:18I don't know nothing.
00:49:20Honest, mister, I'm in here.
00:49:21Now, where y'all gonna take me?
00:49:22Where y'all gonna take me?
00:49:24I don't know nothing.
00:49:25I don't know nothing.
00:49:26Honest, gentlemen, I'm the stupidest man I ever seen.
00:49:29Jeff, did you ever hear of the Inquisition?
00:49:32What's that?
00:49:33That's what happens to people that won't talk.
00:49:35Is that so?
00:49:37Jeff, did you ever get your thumb caught in a ringer?
00:49:41Or your foot stepped on by an elephant?
00:49:44Are you gentlemen trying to intimidate me?
00:49:46Oh, perish the thought.
00:49:48It's just a mild idea of what might
00:49:50happen if you don't tell us all you know about Bob Terry.
00:49:54I could not talk about myself.
00:49:55That's more of my alley.
00:49:57Look, I know a man that owns a ringer.
00:50:00And a man who owns an elephant.
00:50:02An elephant?
00:50:03The step on my feet and I got corn?
00:50:06Mm-mm.
00:50:07Jeff, I think you'd better tell us.
00:50:09Or shall we send for the elephant?
00:50:11Don't do it.
00:50:12Don't do it.
00:50:13I'll talk.
00:50:14I'll talk.
00:50:15Now, that's better.
00:50:16But remember, I don't know a thing that I'm saying.
00:50:2212 o'clock.
00:50:23The race starts in two hours.
00:50:25Look, we said we'd get Frankie and Pat out of this mess,
00:50:27and we've got to do it.
00:50:28Yeah, but what about the race?
00:50:30If we don't clear this thing up, there may not be a race.
00:50:34Boy, I wish old Slugger was here.
00:50:37He'd know what to do.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:40Good old Slugger.
00:50:42I wish he'd get here.
00:50:46Gentlemen, it does me proud to announce the arrival
00:50:49of good old Slugger.
00:50:51Slugger!
00:50:52Speed, Slugger's here!
00:50:53Good old Slugger.
00:50:55I knew you'd get here.
00:50:56Boy, are you a sight for sore eyes if I got him, look.
00:50:59I hope I'm not too late.
00:51:00You're just in time.
00:51:01To help us iron out an awful mess.
00:51:03Good old Slugger.
00:51:05I thought you'd never make it.
00:51:06Well, I was delayed at headquarters at the last minute.
00:51:08Oh, that's too bad.
00:51:10I wouldn't be here yet except for a break.
00:51:12We've been following a notorious bank robber for months,
00:51:15and fortunately, his trail led right here to Raleigh.
00:51:19Bank robber?
00:51:20Here at Raleigh?
00:51:21That's right.
00:51:23You ever see him before?
00:51:33Think you'll find him?
00:51:35Oh, sure.
00:51:37No.
00:51:38Well, what's this mess you fellas want me to help you out of?
00:51:41Oh, nothing.
00:51:42Not a thing?
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:44Well, in that case, let's get down to the race.
00:51:47On second thought, Slugger old boy, maybe you can help us out.
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:53Come on upstairs.
00:51:55Talk privately.
00:52:04OK, fellas, what is it?
00:52:05But make it snappy.
00:52:06We might miss the race.
00:52:07You wouldn't want me to miss seeing Bob Terry, would you?
00:52:09Absolutely not, would we, Speed?
00:52:11Of course not.
00:52:12Take this, Slugger old boy.
00:52:14As a loyal Raleigh man, you'd do anything
00:52:16to see our team win that race today, wouldn't you?
00:52:19Even if it meant sacrificing your duty?
00:52:22Oh, I wouldn't say that.
00:52:24I was afraid you wouldn't.
00:52:26But you do know we think you're the greatest guy that ever was,
00:52:30don't you?
00:52:31Yes, I guess so.
00:52:33And we wouldn't hurt you for the world.
00:52:35However, there comes a time in every man's life
00:52:39when duty is stronger than friendship.
00:52:43What are you fellows driving at?
00:52:45Just business.
00:52:52Good old Slugger.
00:53:09Sure be a lot happier when this race is over.
00:53:11Yeah, so will I, for a lot of reasons.
00:53:14And all of them are named Herc.
00:53:16How much time we got left?
00:53:17I don't know, Tad.
00:53:18A couple minutes, I guess.
00:53:21About ready to go, men?
00:53:22Yeah, we are, Coach.
00:53:24How are you feeling, Bob?
00:53:25That arm OK?
00:53:27It's in the picture.
00:53:28It's in the picture.
00:53:29It's in the picture.
00:53:30It's in the picture.
00:53:31It's in the picture.
00:53:32It's in the picture.
00:53:33It's in the picture.
00:53:34It's in the picture.
00:53:35It's in the picture.
00:53:36It's in the picture.
00:53:37It's in the picture.
00:53:38It's in the picture, Coach.
00:53:39We'll murder them.
00:53:40That's the spirit I like.
00:53:41But don't underestimate standing.
00:53:43They're pretty good, too, you know.
00:53:45They're still a stand chance.
00:53:48What are you eating?
00:53:49Huh?
00:53:50Oh, nothing.
00:53:51Just candy.
00:53:52Candy?
00:53:53You're eating candy right before a race?
00:53:55Give me that box.
00:53:58Uh-oh.
00:54:01Did you see what he done?
00:54:02He took away my pills.
00:54:03I'm sick already.
00:54:04Well, don't worry, Herc.
00:54:05I've got more.
00:54:06Oh, jeez.
00:54:07You're a pal, Frankie.
00:54:08I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:54:10Neither do I.
00:54:11Yeah, how come you haven't got any more pills?
00:54:13I'll find some someplace.
00:54:31All right, men.
00:54:32This is it.
00:54:33This is the race you've been waiting for.
00:54:36Get a line up, Coach.
00:54:37Thank you, Buck.
00:54:38Now, remember, the Standish crew's the one you've got to beat.
00:54:40But don't forget that Baldwin and State are in there, too.
00:54:43And they're not cream puffs.
00:54:45Frankie, you know all I can tell you about facing the crew.
00:54:49Don't let Standish get away from you.
00:54:51But save your power for those last 100 meters.
00:54:53Yes, sir.
00:54:54All right.
00:54:55Take them away.
00:54:56And let's see if you're as good as I think you are.
00:54:58Come on, let's go, gang.
00:54:59Come on.
00:55:00Get out there and go.
00:55:01Right into it.
00:55:02OK.
00:55:03Here we go.
00:55:06That's the Raleigh crew, ladies and gentlemen,
00:55:08passing the stand on the way up to the start.
00:55:10The other three crews are nearing the starting line.
00:55:12And it won't be long now before the intercollegiate eight-over
00:55:15drawing championship for the Western Conference
00:55:17is decided for another year.
00:55:20Take it easy, Herc.
00:55:21Take it easy.
00:55:22You're working too hard.
00:55:23Save yourself for the big sprint.
00:55:25Don't worry about me.
00:55:28Hey.
00:55:29Hey.
00:55:30Hey.
00:55:31Hey.
00:55:32Hey.
00:55:33Hey.
00:55:34Hey.
00:55:35You think the girls are watching us?
00:55:37Oh, yeah.
00:55:38Yeah, sure.
00:55:40How about a pill?
00:55:41No, no.
00:55:42When do you get sick?
00:55:45Oh, I just adore crewmen.
00:55:47Aren't they handsome?
00:55:48Wonderful.
00:55:49They move across the water just like big bugs.
00:55:53The boats, of course, not the crews.
00:55:55They're off to a nice start, folks.
00:55:57All four crews are right in line.
00:55:5932 oars working in unison, and they fight to get away.
00:56:06I know it's tough, Slugger, old boy.
00:56:08But look at us.
00:56:09We're missing the race, too.
00:56:11Hello?
00:56:12Hello, Mr. Bill.
00:56:13This is Jeff.
00:56:14I'm looking at the race just like you told me to.
00:56:16It's the prettiest thing you ever did see.
00:56:19Hmm?
00:56:20Oh.
00:56:21I know who this is.
00:56:23Of course, nobody is.
00:56:25But if you tell me who it is, I'll tell you who it is.
00:56:27Who is it?
00:56:28Who is it?
00:56:29Who is it?
00:56:30Who is it?
00:56:31Who is it?
00:56:32Who is it?
00:56:33Who is it?
00:56:34Who is it?
00:56:35Who is it?
00:56:36Who is it?
00:56:37Who is it?
00:56:38Who is it?
00:56:39Who is it?
00:56:40But if it does, I'll let you know.
00:56:42Okay, Speed the race is underway.
00:56:44Let him go.
00:56:45And when you do you better have a good excuse
00:56:48for this or start running.
00:56:49Well, see Slugger, old boy, it's like this.
00:57:04For getting to look like a two crew race,
00:57:06the rolling extend is a fully ahead.
00:57:10They'll never keep up this pace, they won't have anything left for the finish.
00:57:22Uh-oh, the grind's beginning to tell on the Raleigh crew, they're falling behind.
00:57:31Come on, gang, come on, what's the matter with you, give it to me.
00:57:38Ben, we're moving away fast now, the pace looks a bit too much for Raleigh's Bob Terry,
00:57:49he looks all in.
00:57:50Come on, gang, come on, please don't loaf on me.
00:57:57You two hurt, what's the matter with you?
00:58:00Give me a pill.
00:58:02Are you sick?
00:58:04I'm dying.
00:58:17Wow!
00:58:20That a boy hurt, come on, baby!
00:58:22Something's happened to the Raleigh crew, they're roaring like demons.
00:58:30Look at them, gang, on the stand each day.
00:58:40Come on, Bob, come on!
00:58:45That a baby hurt, pull it on!
00:58:47Believe me, this Bob Terry is everything they said he was, I've never seen such power.
00:58:51He must be over 50 pounds, it's unbelievable.
00:58:54Come on, Raleigh, come on, Bob, that's the stuff, beat him, beat him, Bob darling.
00:59:00Bob darling?
00:59:02Why do you get off calling him darling?
00:59:05Well, I'd like to know who has a better right, we're engaged.
00:59:10You're what?
00:59:11You heard me, we're engaged, have been for weeks.
00:59:17That's impossible, he's engaged to me.
00:59:21He is?
00:59:33They're doing it, Mr. Bill, old Heck is going to bring home the bacon for Raleigh, we're going to win.
00:59:46We beat them!
00:59:49Isn't that, Terry, the greatest stroke you ever saw?
00:59:51Didn't I tell you, coach?
00:59:57Well, it took a lot of doing, but we made it.
00:59:59You're all right, shipmate.
01:00:01Oh, I want to die.
01:00:03What was in that pill anyway, dynamite?
01:00:17You were wonderful, Cam.
01:00:19Frankie, it was a marvelous race.
01:00:21You're still my favorite crewman.
01:00:23Yeah, are you two crazy?
01:00:25Yeah, what's this all about?
01:00:27Ladies and gentlemen, I have a special announcement to make.
01:00:30I've just been given information that Bob Terry, who rode the greatest race of his career today,
01:00:36has been summoned by Uncle Sam and will spend the next few years in government service.
01:00:43Come on.
01:00:46Mr. Bill, come on.
01:00:47Come on, get me out of here.
01:00:48Good gracious me.
