Girl Crazy Page #2

I've got things to do.

What are you doing down there?

Grinding coffee.

May I?

Won't talk, eh?

Well, it looks like Hattie here

isn't gonna be very sociable.

Well, I don't know

what I'm gonna do.

There's nothing left for you to do

but to sit here...

...and give me the story of your life.

If I'm not at school in 10 minutes

I'm gonna miss the mail train.

You mean Cody?

You don't mean to tell me

that you're a student there?

No, I carry the mail.

Government's making a big mistake.

They ought to put your picture

on the postage stamps.

Well, I can't waste any more time here.

Wait a minute, would you?

Let me try it once more, please?

- Well, that's it.

- Wait a minute. Where are you going?

Out West, when we're in trouble,

we walk.

It's the same in the East.

I'll go with you.

My name is Danny Churchill.

I'm from New York.

Free, white and lonesome.

- Danny... Did you say Churchill?

- Churchill Jr., yeah.

- The playboy?

- Well, I...

- What's so funny?

- Oh, goodness gracious.

I don't get it.

Oh, yes, indeed.

Fancy meeting you here?

- I don't get it.

- They tell me that you're...

That you're quite a hand with the ladies.

I hope I'm as good a hand here

with Hattie.

- As you think you are with the ladies?

- All right. All right.

Hey. Hey. How about me?

- Hi. Are you Danny Churchill?

- Yeah.

Well, I'm Henry Lathrop.

- Glad to know you.

- How are you?

I'm sorry about jumping over you.

We didn't see you.

Well, that's all right.

We'll show you where to register

and the dean's office...

...and the mess hall

and then to your room.

- Swell.

- Come on, let's go.

Hi.

This is Danny Churchill,

just got in from New York.

This is Bud Livermore,

you're roommate.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Hi.

Big day tomorrow.

See you in the morning, about 6:00.

Yeah.

Did...? Did he say 6:00?

- When do you sleep?

- We hit the hay pretty early.

- At about what time?

- All lights out at 9:30.

That's a quaint little hour.

Yeah, and the hay feels pretty good

about then.

- What do you sleep on around here?

- These.

- No mattress?

- Yeah, right here.

You unroll them. I'll show you how.

I can see we put them down ourselves

but who puts them up?

You put hooks on the side of the wall...

...and this room can become

a nice little closet.

You get used to it.

They keep you so busy,

most of the time you don't even notice it.

I'm curious.

What does a fellow do around here?

Well, you're up at 5:45.

Roll your cot, clean the room...

...and you're in the mess hall by 6:10.

On the days you don't wait on tables.

- Well, how about do you ever...?

- Then you're back in your room at 6:45.

- Until 7, your time's your own.
