- Women and their mothers.

- Hello, Don.

- Hi.

Oh, hello, Professor.

- What'll it be? Blond or brunette?

- The same.

Brunettes. They're the ones

you got to watch.

How did you find me?

I didn't have my crystal ball,

so I just followed you here.

Meet my friend Mike.

He's a disciple of Aristophanes.

- How do you do?

- Pleased to know you.

Don, I'm taking you back to Nadine.

Did she send you for me?

- No, but...

- That's the trouble with college.

You've been reading.

There's more sense in this than in a library.

- Right, Mike?

- Education's all right.

It's the people who spoil it.

Nadine didn't mean what she said.

You two belong together.

If she'd just fallen in love with some guy,

I could do something about it.

You know she can't get along without you,

or you without her.

Who says I can't get along without her?

See those girls. Any one of them

has as much talent as she.

You're crazy. There's no one like Nadine.

- Dances like an angel, knows how to dress...

- I taught her.

- I could take any of those girls...

- Show's on.

I could take any one of them

and do the same.

She still wouldn't be like Nadine.

I promised I'd get right back. You coming?

She knows where I am.

She'll come around when contracts

are out of season.

You sure?

No, thanks. You run along.

All right. Take care of him, Mike.

Okay.

Any one of them.

Do I need her?

Well, no man is an island.

- Thanks, Mike.

- Every man is a piece of the continent...

...a part of the main.

Sorry.

Yeah, I think you'll do.

- I'll do what?

- I'm looking for someone to dance with.

- Wrong number.

- I need a new dancing partner.

I'll give you $ 100 a week.

A hundred doll... That would never do.

- All right, $ 150.

- A hundred and fifty.

Thank you. Now may I go?

Sure. Just a minute. Here's my card.

I'll get a rehearsal hall at Michael's.

Know where it is?

Yeah.

All right, tomorrow morning, 10:00.

You'll wait for me.

- Hi, Hannah.

- Hi. Will you help me into this?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

There's a nice guy.

He's unhappy and a little lonely...

I'll bet he's lonely.

Got away from his keeper.

You know what he wanted me to do?

Give up a good, steady, $ 15-a-week job.

- Thanks.

- I didn't catch his name.

Don Hewes.

Don Hewes?!

I was born in Michigan

And I wish and wish again

That I was back

In the town where I was born

There's a farm in Michigan

And I'd like to fish again

In the river that flows

Beside the field of waving corn

A lonesome soul am I

Here's the reason why

I want to go back

I want to go back

I want to go back to the farm

Far away from harm

With a milk pail on my arm

I miss the rooster

The one that used to

Wake me up at 4 a.m.
