The Trouble with Girls Page #5

- Get him!

- Hurry!

Hurry up! Come here!

Come on, it's important! Hurry up!

Hey, come on.

We got a big problemo here!

It was a real close game.

We were ahead, 110-97.

Come on!

Hurry!

Right over here.

Hi, kids.

What have you been doing?

Nothing?

Just step right in here. I have something

very interesting I want you to see.

- What do we do with it now?

- Pick it up later. Let's go.

Yeah, look at that.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

- I mean the tent.

- What about the tent?

It's empty. And that

is the way it's gonna stay.

Unless you do something about this

problem we got with Miss American Labor.

She's giving you a lot of appus-crappus...

You send her over to the hotel before

the dinner break. I'll take care of her.

There's just one more thing.

The lead singer with

the Bible group has got laryngitis.

And the doctor...

...has put him on voice silence.

What do you plan to do about that?

Excuse me, sir. Ticket.

Guarantee Committee, sonny-boy.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Now, ladies and gentlemen,

a legend in his own time.

To talk to you on immorality,

the immortal Mr. Morality.

Thank you. Thank you, ladies

and gentlemen, and good afternoon.

You know, in Chautauqua,

we used to say...

...that the greatest lesson we could teach

maturing men and women was...

Why don't you and me just take

a little stroll back to the store.

I've got a new case of booze. We could...

- Come on. Let's just go back.

- Come on, Harry. I wanna listen.

- Hemingway, who only last year

wrote that incredible novel...

...about postwar disillusion,

The Sun Also Rises...

...who said, "So far, about morals...

...I only know that what is moral

is what you feel good after...

...and what is immoral

is what you feel bad after."

Come on, let's just go back

for a little while.

My wife thinks I'm at a meeting.

We can all change. Change is one thing

that is certain besides death.

What you have been

is of little significance.

What you are is the essence.

Walt Whitman wrote, "I think..."

Come on, babe.

You can come back here later.

Please.

"I stand and look at them long and long.

They do not fret and whine

about their condition.

They do not lie awake in the dark

and weep for their sins.

Not one of them is demented

with the mania of owning things."

Now I ask you, ladies and gentlemen...

...are we truly less than the animals...

...as Whitman feels, or can we be more?

Can we stop our complaining

and crank our new life starter...

...and try to begin afresh?

I say start afresh!

There is no such thing as immorality...

...once you yourself

have become a moral force.

Come on, honey. Be a pal.

It's just not right to use the kid.
