Warden, where does that fellow
with the guitar hang out?
Down there, at the other end
of the prison.
- I'd like to see him for a while.
- Well, Hart, you know...
I'm the star boarder of this hotel
tonight. You're supposed to cater to me.
Yes, I know. But once you leave your
cell, according to regulations...
Oh, you can't be too technical
at a time like this.
I can't see that it'd do any harm,
Warden.
All right. But just
for a minute, remember.
Hart's the name.
Yeah, I know.
I'm glad to meet you, Hart.
Mine's Poole, Larry Poole.
Much obliged for the music.
out of that guitar.
Oh, that's not a guitar.
It's a lute, 13th century lute.
Whatever it is, you sure got it locked.
And you got a swell pair of pipes too.
Many's the time I heard you out there
in the yard.
It kind of took my mind off things.
you're due out of here next week.
Where do you aim to go?
Well, it depends on the wind. You see,
with me, when I leave a place...
I get myself a feather
and toss it up...
and whichever way the wind blows,
that's where I go.
Swell. Let me toss the feather
for you this time.
Here's a letter I want delivered.
It goes to some people named Smith.
They live somewhere around Middletown,
New Jersey.
I don't know the address.
That's why I can't mail it.
Well, why do you want me
to deliver it?
Because you're the only guy around here
I can trust.
Anybody that can sing sappy,
sentimental songs in prison...
wouldn't double-cross
a guy taking his last walk.
that letter gets to those people.
- Will you deliver it for me?
- Why, I'll be glad to.
Thanks. Gee, that's a load
off my mind.
- So long.
- So long.
Okay, folks. Let's go.
Come on, folks.
Six rings for a dime.
A dime, six rings.
Anyone can do it.
Come on, folks, six rings for a dime.
A dime, six rings.
There you are.
Six rings for a dime, folks.
Six rings for a dime.
Step right up and ring 'em
and take home a present.
Hold it.
- What are you after?
- Them.
Can't be done.
Here.
Hey, what's the idea?
You see there?
No can do.
- Oh, a wise guy.
- Sister, you see that cop over there?
- Run on over and tell him...
- Now, wait a minute, pal.
Them opera glasses must have gotten
there by mistake.
Here's your dime back.
My dime? Listen, I've been coming here
every day since this carnival opened.
I spent lots of dimes! Hundreds and
millions, and I don't want my dime back!
And those glasses you shall have,
unless you want to yell, "Hey, rube. "
Well, if she wants them that bad,
why, she can have 'em.
There you are, sister.
Thank the nice man.
Thank you, you crook!
Gee, aren't they elegant!
Elegant? They're just the last gasp
in binoculars, that's all.
Hey, look. The ground comes
way up here.
Look out you don't step on your chin.
- What's your name?
- Larry. What's yours?
Patricia. But my intimate friends
call me Sarge.
Sarge. Oh!
Mind if I call you Sarge?
No. You're the most intimate friend
I've got. I'm awfully glad to meet you.
You're not half as glad as I am to meet
you. I've been looking all over for you.
to locate you.
Your name is Smith and you live
over here on Railroad Avenue.
- How did you know?
- I was by your house this morning.
The people next door told me
I'd find you here at the carnival.
They said to look for a little girl
with a red feather in her cap.
Said she had on a brown...
Hey! Hey, wait a minute!
Oh, no, you don't.
I had to check off 165 Smiths to find you,
and I ain't gonna lose you now.
- Are you a cop?
- Do I look like one?
Well, are you
an instalment collector?
- No, I should say not.
- Then what do you want?
- I got something for you.
- What?
Hadn't we better tell that to the head
of the family? Is there somebody else?
My grandpa.
There's just me and Gramp.
I tell you what we'll do then.
We'll tell your gramp.
- If that's okay with you?
- Sure. And you can stay for lunch.
- Gramp's got a nice big ham.
- Why, I'd love to.
Oh, I forgot. Gramp gave me a dime
to get a loaf of bread...
and I spent it on the rings.
Well, if Gramp can furnish the ham,
the least I can do is furnish the bread.
Oops. I'm flat myself.
Madam, I am temporarily
without funds.
That's all right. We can eat
the ham without the bread.
Oh, we'll get pennies enough for bread.
- Where?
- From heaven.
On a lonely road or sidewalk
It doesn't matter where
I've always felt that I'd walk
Into my love affair
And on that perfect day
I'd say
When you're passing by
It wants to be near
And so do I
The willow bows to you
Forgetting to cry
It waits for your smile
And so do I
All the world's at your command
What wouldn't it do
For one look at you
And I'm that way too
The rose
That you caress
Is willing to die
It loves you so very much
And so
Do I
- Let's do it again!
- Oh, no, Sarge.
You give 'em a little, they throw coins.
Give 'em too much, they throw eggs.
- What do you suppose that means?
- Let's find out!
- Patsy!
- Hey, Sarge!
Wait! Come back here.
- What's this all about?
- That's just what I want to find out.
Come in.
Don't come close to me.
I have a cold.
Okay, I won't.
- Gesundheit.
- Thank you.
What were you doing down there
in that yard with Patsy?
