The Miracle of Morgan's Creek Page #3

like whiskey or something?

I'm perfectly calm. I'm as cool as ice.

I start to figure maybe they won't take me...

and some cold sweat runs down the middle

of my back, and my head begins to buzz...

and everything in the middle of the room

begins to swim...

and I get black spots in front of my eyes...

and they say I've got

high blood pressure again.

And all the time I'm cool as ice!

- Don't get so excited, Norval.

- Who's excited?

Hello. Yes.

Gee, that's swell, Trudy.

Kind of a lucky break, huh?

I certainly appreciate you calling me

right away. I'll be right over.

Goodbye. Oh, boy!

- Have you got any money?

- Money?

What for? Yeah, I've got plenty. Goodbye.

- Your coat!

- My coat.

- I got it.

- Don't get so excited!

What kind of music is that?

Hello?

Hello, Trudy. Hello, Emmy.

Good evening, Mr. Kockenlocker.

I'm glad you're going to

the picture show with me tonight.

- Who, me?

- I'm very glad to go with you, Norval.

Fine. I don't want to sound unpatriotic

but I'm glad they called that dance off...

- for my sake, I mean.

- It wasn't exactly for your...

- It was just called off.

- Come on, Norval. Good night, Emmy, Papa.

- Be home right after the picture.

- Where else could I go?

- I didn't ask where else...

- There's a new boogie-woogie joint...

- Listen, you.

- Come on, Norval.

Right after the picture.

- Yes, Papa.

- Yes, Mr. Kockenlocker.

Now, what do you know about

this little boogie-woogie joint?

Nothing, Papa.

I just heard you were there,

digging quite a trench.

It was certainly very sweet of you

to come and get me right away, Norval.

The pleasure's all mine, Trudy.

Except to get into the Army,

I can't hardly think of anything...

that gives me as much pleasure

as taking you out.

That's nice to hear. You certainly

helped me out by taking me out tonight.

After I was all dressed up

like a horse and everything.

The pleasure's mine, Trudy.

Not that you look anything like a horse.

- Maybe I should have worn my tuxedo.

- Thank you, Norval.

- You certainly helped me out.

- Any time.

- You really mean that, Norval?

- Really mean what, Trudy?

You'd help me out anytime?

Why, Trudy, that's almost all I live for,

except maybe getting into the Army.

I can't think of anything that

makes me more happy than helping you out.

I almost wish you'd be in a lot of trouble

sometime so I could prove it to you.

You can prove it tonight.

I am in a lot of trouble, Norval.

They didn't call off that military dance.

Papa just called it off

as far as I was concerned.

He did?

He probably had pretty good reasons, then.

That's what parents are for,

to listen to their advice.

That's why I always missed
