Holy smokes!

Take it easy, folks.

What did you expect us to do, sit back while

you're gettin' shot down in enemy territory?

Friends, attention, please!

Please. Pl-

We have an unexpected pleasure,

in fact, a great honor tonight.

One of our own boys,

the pride of Punxatawney-

Has returned to us.

Not for long, mind you.

Perhaps only 12 hours.

And then he'll be on his way

to meet the enemy.

It gives me great pleasure

to introduce to you the first to fight...

Private First Class William Kluggs.

- Quiet, please.

- Quiet!

William- Bill-

it gives me great pleasure to present to you,

as a token of esteem from your hometown...

this solid gold, 14-karat

identification bracelet...

so that no matter where you are...

you'll always know

that we are thinking of you.

- Speech!

- Speech!

- Who is this guy, General MacArthur?

- I don't dig it.

Uh, thank you.

It's-

This whole thing kind of

took me by surprise.

I certainly never expected

anything like it.

I don't really know what to say

except, well, thank you.

If you can't say it, sing it!

- Remember "You've Got Me This Way"?

I'll play the first two on the piano.

You fellas pick it up on the chorus.

I say hello

to the people I know

In a vague sort of way

Baffled and blue

I go wandering

Through the day

Don't ask me

what ails me

What I'm thinking of

One look reveals

that I'm head over heels

In love

You've got me this way

Say

What are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it

You've got me this way

Crazy for you

You kissed me one day

Then, seein' that I was

true about it

What did you

go and do about it

You left me this way

Bluer than blue

You thought it was funny

My fallin' so hard

I'm laughin' my sides off

honey

You're really a card

You've got me this way

Say

Now that I'm in a stew about it

What am I gonna do about it

I'm just gonna stay

crazy for you

You've got me this way

Say

What are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it

You've got me

this way

Crazy for you

You've got me this way

Say

What are you gonna do about it

What are you gonna do about it

You've got me this way

Bluer than blue

- You thought it was funny

My falling so hard

I'm laughing my sides off

honey

You're really a card

You've got me this way

Say

Now that I'm in a stew about it

What are you gonna do about it

- I'm just gonna stay crazy for you

- Me too

- For who

- For you

I'm just gonna stay

Crazy for you

- Pretty sharp, huh? Solid gold too.

- It oughta be platinum.

I know, honey,

but it's the thought that counts.

- Well, good night.

- You don't have to go in yet, do you?

Well, I don't want to,

but Mom'll be worried about me.
