Take Me Out To The Ball Game Page #6

Something's got to be done.

Something's got to be done.

Take a look.

Beautiful, isn't she?

Not bad for a dame

who can field a hot grounder.

"'... The crowd

"'Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack

"'I don't care if I never get back

"'Let me root, root, root for the home team

"'lf they don't win it's a shame

"'Cause it's one, two,

three strikes you're out

"'At the old ball game

"'One, two, three strikes

You're out

"'At the old ball game"'

Boys, I've got it.

This is what we do. First, we...

Fellas...

...come here.

Come here!

There's one way we can break training

without getting into a jam.

Take her out on a date. We'll get

two other girls and we'll go stepping.

I've got a hunch that girl is human.

Yes, and guess who she's crazy about?

You.

Me? Personally? You think so?

Sure. Denny, this is it.

If she's a dame, she wants romance.

And she's a dame.

Denny, here's your chance.

A touch of her hand, a subtle caress...

...a few tender little nothings

whispered in the moonlight...

Denny, it's up to you.

But I don't know any tender little nothings.

It's been my experience,

the athletic type like Higgins...

...might go for the caveman approach,

like this.

Come here.

Handle her rough, Denny.

Rough?

No.

What do you want me to do?

First, go out on that balcony.

Let her see you.

Then let nature take its course.

Be nonchalant.

But I don't know about nonchalant

and things like that.

Sit on the rail, look up at the moon.

Look up at the moon!

Never mind the moon.

Never mind the moon!

Make up your mind.

Attract her attention.

Cough!

Softly, you dope.

Hello, Denny.

Hello, Miss Higgins.

Katherine's the name.

Hello, Katherine.

What do I do next?

What did you say, Denny?

I said, what do I do...

- Talk to her!

- Say something!

- Go down and talk to her.

- How can I get down?

- Get down the tree!

- The tree?

Go down the tree. Go on. Don't stop now!

- Hello, Miss Higgins.

- Katherine.

Katherine.

- It's a lovely night, ain't it?

- Yes, it is, Denny.

And that's a great big moon, ain't it?

Yes, it certainly is. It's a lovely moon.

How's that?

I said, "It's a lovely moon."

Just stopped to think that...

...a lovely night like this

and a great big moon, and a girl like...

The right girl, Denny.

Sure.

How would you be able to tell, Denny?

I could tell.

Right away?

Right from the very first time.

"I'll hear heavenly music

"I'll hear bells start to chime

"I'll hear thunder

"And I'll be struck with wonder

"But I won't have to look

"A second time

"If her voice is a song

"And her walk is a dance

"And if her laugh

"Is warm and free

"If I suddenly seem

"To be seeing a dream

"She's the right girl for me
