# Happy holidays to you #

Happy New Year, Ted.

No!

- Francois, have you seen Mr. Hanover?

- Twice, sir.

- What happened?

- The first time, sir,

he came from his room

with a telegram in his hand.

- He ordered Scotch and soda, a bottle of each.

- I know. What then?

The second time, he asked

which way is Connect-i-cut.

- Connecticut.

- Connect-i-cut.

He said he has a friend there

who knows about women too.

Why didn't you stop him?

How could I stop him, sir, when I don't

know which way is Connect-i-cut?

Who said Holiday Inn

wouldn't work?

- We're gonna divvy up a stack of money tonight, huh?

- Man, man!

I've got a landlady who's gonna ask

for your autographed picture.

Everybody get somethin'?

- Go to bed now. It's gettin' late.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Look, it's almost time.

It's practically

straight up, isn't it?

It's practically

straight up, isn't it?

# One minute to midnight #

# One minute to go #

# One minute to say good-bye #

# Before we say hello #

# Let's start the New Year right #

# Twelve o'clock tonight #

# When they dim the light #

# Let's begin #

# Kissing the old year out #

# Kissing the New Year in #

# Let's watch the old year die #

# With a fond good-bye #

# And our hopes as high #

# As a kite #

# How can our love go wrong #

# If we start the New Year right #

- That's it, that's midnight. I'll see you out on the floor.

- All right.

Come on, everybody! Happy New Year!

Get your partner and dance.

Happy holiday.

Happy New Year.

- I forgot my check.

- You won't need that, but you'll need your coat.

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

- Same to you. Many of them. I gotta...

- Come on, Jim, you gotta dance.

- Oh, you gotta dance with me. Come on, you gotta dance.

- No, I can't. Oh!

- Why, Mr. Hanover!

- That's Ted Hanover.

- Wait a minute. I gotta go.

- I don't want Ted Hanover.

- I want you. This is New Year's, kid.

- I know.

Ted!

- He wasn't drunk. It's a gag.

- What happened?

Ted Hanover with his new partner.

They were great!

New partner?

- You'd better get back.

- I'm sorry. If I'd known how he was...

Oh, he'll be all right in a week

or ten days. You'd better hurry.

Ted! Ted!

Ted! Oh. How is he?

He's out cold.

Hot or cold, he can keep

his dancing shoes in my office.

- Did you hear that applause?

- Yeah, it went pretty good.

- And I was worried about his losing Lila.

- Losing Lila?

Yeah, she eloped tonight

with some Texan from Texas...

with Ted's engagement ring

on her finger.

But who cares? You lose one girl,

Claude Binyon

Claude Binyon (October 17, 1905 Chicago, Illinois – February 14, 1978 Glendale, California) was a screenwriter and director. His genres were comedy, musicals, and romances. As a Chicago-based journalist for the Examiner newspaper, he became city editor of the show business trade magazine Variety in the late 1920s. According to Robert Landry, who worked at Variety for 50 years including as managing editor, Binyon came up with the famous 1929 stock market crash headline, "Wall Street Lays An Egg." (However, writer Ken Bloom ascribes the headline to Variety publisher Sime Silverman.)He switched from writing about movies for Variety to screenwriting for the Paramount Studio with 1932's If I Had A Million; his later screenwriting credits included The Gilded Lily (1935), Sing You Sinners (1938), and Arizona (1940). Throughout the 1930s, Binyon's screenplays were often directed by Wesley Ruggles, including the "classic" True Confession (1938). Fourteen feature films by Ruggles had screenplays by Binyon. Claude Binyon was also the scriptwriter for the second series of the Bing Crosby Entertains radio show (1934-1935). In 1948, Binyon made his directorial bow with The Saxon Charm (1948), for which he also wrote the screenplay. He went on to write and direct the low-key comedy noir Stella (1950), Mother Didn't Tell Me (1950), Aaron Slick of Pun'kin Crick (1952), and the Clifton Webb farce Dreamboat (1952). He directed, but didn't write, Family Honeymoon (1949) as well as Bob Hope's sole venture into 3-D, Here Come the Girls (1953). After his death on February 14, 1978, he was buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. more…
