Now here he is. Eddie Sparks!
The band play on, Eddie does his monologue,
ha-ha-ha-ha, then he intros Vicki.
- Who's Vicki?
- Dancer, friend of Eddie's, hubba hubba.
Got the picture?
- Wow. What the heck's that?
- They must have started.
I just got a couple of scores
for you guys here.
Chicago 14, Philadelphia 3.
898th Bomb Group 21...
Germans nothing.
- It sounds like the Army-Navy game.
- You'll get used to it. Try and learn this.
- It's a comedy spot. You and Eddie.
- What?
- Nothing to it.
- I can't do a comedy spot.
It's OK. It'll all be on cards.
Funnies with the girl singer.
It's Eddie's trademark. They expect it.
- What are you gonna sing?
- "Stuff Like That There."
- Is it up?
- It's up. It's bouncy.
Comedy spot, you and Eddie, ha-ha-ha-ha,
then "Stuff Like That There", then applause,
Wally and the band,
then wrap up Eddie, bye-bye.
- So when do we rehearse all this?
- Rehearse? Dixie, this is it.
- Hello, Dixie. Sam Schiff, Eddie's producer.
- Hi.
- He's really excited about your being here.
- That's wonderful. Anything for Eddie.
- Sounds good.
- He could run for prime minister. I'm serious.
- Why not king?
- I was thinking Fhrer,
I'll see you later.
This bundle of joy is Loretta,
Eddie's other writer,
our wardrobe mistress and my love slave.
Dream on. Hi, Dixie. I'm Loretta.
Nice to meet you. Easy. How you feeling?
Like the Ringling Brothers
were camping in my mouth.
Thank God... a live one. You go on after Little
Bo Peep. Why don't we get you dressed?
Song! Song! Song!
- "Stuff Like That There." Go, go, go.
- Corporal. Band person.
D flat, not E flat. He didn't hear me.
I've been up two days.
How do I sing an E flat?
You could sing in L, they'll love it.
What's the matter? You OK?
I'm fine, I'm fine. England, right?
All right, enough of this.
Now, guys, a little girl
who can make grown men cry...
Our own little bit of lend-lease,
the amazing Miss Victoria Lee.
Hi, boys.
Great.
Sensational. Sensational.
She's here. She's getting dressed.
- Loretta, my hair.
- You look great.
Let's go over these lines again.
- That's him.
- That's him.
He's coming over here.
- Hello. Dixie?
- Yes.
- Hi, I'm Eddie Sparks.
- I can't believe I'm seeing you in person.
They love you so much.
Gosh, you're amazing.
- Just a kid from the Bronx.
- Imagine.
So what are you gonna sing, sweetheart?
- "Stuff Like That There."
- Like...
- I don't know that.
- It's an up song. It's bouncy.
Bouncy's good. So did you ever sing
in front of a real band?
- Did you ever hear of Tommy Dorsey?
- Dorsey? Of course.
Me too. Great band, huh?
That's a joke. Actually,
