For the Boys Page #5

- No act, huh?

You two are gonna be an industry.

- She sings pretty good. She does funny.

- Yeah.

- Funny is money.

- Yeah.

- Welcome to jolly old life as usual.

- Come on, Wally, let's go get stupid.

- Dixie, honey, I wanna buy you a drink.

- Go with them. I'll be with you in a minute.

We'll be under the bar.

Wake us for the armistice.

Hello, Reg. That's the Dixie Leonard

I was telling you about.

Listen, Eddie.

Me and Dixie just had a long talk.

She feels terrible about what happened.

I think we should just

clean the slate and start over.

Why?

Did you tell him?

- You tell him.

- Tell me what?

The two of you are gonna be bigger

than Burns and Allen.

Bigger than Hope and Crosby.

Bigger than all of 'em.

I got all these advisors. Who's the guy that

goes out and gets the laughs every night?

It's you, Eddie. You are the one.

And that's why

I'm gonna go bring her over.

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Want some aspirin?

- Come on.

- No, I don't think so.

He feels terrible about what happened.

He just needs you to break the ice.

- Go on, Dixie.

- Go ahead.

He's disconsolate. Come on.

What would I have to give you

for one little kiss?

Chloroform.

Eddie, you remember Dixie Leonard.

Yeah, I remember. So...

So...

You have something to say?

Yeah. I don't like

the way you talk to my uncle.

What is your problem, lady?

My problem, Eddie,

is you can't walk all over people.

It makes a bad impression.

- I guess that's what's held me back.

- That's what's held you back as a person.

Oh, God. Right through the heart.

I mean, if I had one.

That's enough. Sit down,

have a drink, for Christ's sakes.

No, I'm gonna get some sleep.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

Dixie.

I give up. What do I have to do?

You could try saying you're sorry.

Apologise. Go fix it.

Let us pray.

- Two-bit Napoleon. I bet you he wears lifts.

- You can't take him personally.

- Him and Hitler have the same agent.

- Good line.

- He's just like all the rest of them.

- Give us a song, Eddie.

I apologise.

- Just relax and follow my lead.

- Yeah, right off a cliff.

You just let me teach you

and nothing'll stop us.

We'll be bigger than Burns and Allen,

bigger than Hope and Crosby.

We'll be bigger than all of them.

OK.

- Oh, my God. What's that?

- It's an air raid.

- What do we do?

- Do? Nothing can happen to you.

You're with Eddie Sparks.

And he was right,

You could feel it, He was invincible,

Nothing could happen to you

if you were with Eddie Sparks.

He just had magic.

And how they loved him, those boys.

Airfields,

camps,

hospitals.

He was something.

Generous...

stingy...

infuriating...
