The cat's pajamas

Where the girls were concerned

But now I'm acting

Just like a dope

It's the first time some baby said

"It's no soap. "

And meant it!

Lucky in love

If you take me, that'll make...

- So it was you!

Of all the uncouth,

contemptible tricks!

I just wanted a chance

to get together.

Get together? I never want

to see you again. You...

You're absolutely incorrigible!

- What's that?

- That's French.

Pal, that gal

Sure put you in your place

When she called you incorrigible

To your face

Oh, brother, you got a shove

And without that, we still doubt that

You'd be lucky in love

In love, lucky in love

You're lucky if you're lucky in love

You're lucky

So lucky

It's oh, so lovely

If you are

Lucky in love

- These are what you're looking for.

- That's fine, Miss Lane. Thanks.

Good night.

Why, Mr. Marlowe. What on earth

are you doing here?

Well, why? Can't anyone come in here?

I thought you'd made a mistake. It's

not the hangout for the football team.

What do you mean? I've often

been here doing research.

Not in the past three years.

Why do you say that?

I work here, Mr. Marlowe.

I'm the assistant librarian.

In that case, I'll never lie again.

But how come you look so familiar?

Where have I seen you before?

You've seen me 100 times

in the past three years.

You stood right next to me

at the punch bowl last night.

My name is Connie Lane.

Babe's roommate! For crying out loud,

then you're a student.

- Why do you want to work here?

- It helps pay my tuition.

It's called working your way

through college.

Oh, I'm sorry.

At your service.

Where's the French dictionary?

I want to look up a word.

I'm majoring in languages.

What's the word?

Ever heard of a French word,

"in-courage-gee-bull"?

- You mean incorrigible.

- What does it mean?

Same thing it means in English.

"Lmpossible, incorrigible,

past reforming. "

That's what I thought.

She spoke the word beautifully.

I heard it all the way in the kitchen.

I'll give her back that parlez-vous.

- Who's the best French teacher?

- Kennyon.

I'll sign up for a course.

Don't get carried away. Kennyon is

tough, and he hates football players.

I've never flunked a subject yet.

Come on, show me a few words.

- Don't be silly. It's closing time.

- Come on.

Well, all right.

- The book, le livre

- Le livre, the book

- The pen, la plume

- La plume, the pen

- La chaise

- La chaise

- Le crayon

- Le crayon

- Le cahier

- Le cahier

- Le papier

- Le papier

Noir, rouge, blanc

are black, red, white

- Rouge, blanc, noir

- You're fairly bright

- Now please go back

- I bet I get them right

Rouge, blanc, noir, le papier, le cahier

Le crayon, la chaise, la plume, le livre
