and listening

to rock-and-roll music.

What's wrong with television?

Not all television. MASH was okay,

and the old Mary Tyler Moore Show.

It just seems like the young people

of America take freedom for granted.

Now, wait a minute.

I don't think you're being fair.

You know, my history class

once spent...

an entire week in Philadelphia.

Maybe so. You can talk about freedom

all you want...

but still you don't know what

it's like to have to fight for it.

Perhaps my lecture was unwarranted.

I am grateful

for what you did back there.

Well, you know,

I think you'd really like America.

We've got the Liberty Bell,

Disneyland on both coasts.

It's happening.

I'm sorry.

I really don't know any German.

That's all right. I know a little

German. He's sitting over there.

Anything's fine.

- Thank you, um...

- Hillary.

Hillary.

That's an unusual name.

It's a German name. It means

"she whose bosoms defy gravity."

Pleased to meet you.

My name is Nick.

Nick? What does that mean?

Oh, nothing. My dad thought of it

while he was shaving.

Are you in some kind of trouble

with the police?

Some things are much better

left unsaid.

Like what?

Well, you know...

sometimes when you blow your nose

into a tissue...

and you put it in your purse,

then a little while later...

you have to reach in there

for your lipstick or something...

- and your hand gushes into it and...

- Okay, you're right.

Some things are better left unsaid.

Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen...

we are fortunate

to have with us tonight...

a singer whose great talent...

is exceeded only by his devotion

to his country.

He truly has the gift of song,

a golden voice...

- inspired talent...

- Is there something wrong?

And a charming personality.

I was afraid something like this

might happen.

General Streck of the high command

is a most fervent admirer...

and owns a complete set

of his works.

Now, he is a very shy

and gentle man...

but perhaps we could persuade him

to sing for us.

Shall we ask him?

I'd better do what they want.

I promised my manager.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, watch the change

in the second chorus.

Oh, my God.

Tutti frutti au rutti

Got a girl named Sue

She knows just what to do

She knows how to love me

yes, indeed

Oh boy, you don't know

what you do to me

Tutti frutti au rutti

Got a girl named Daisy

She almost drive me crazy

She rocked me to the East

She rocked me to the West

But she's the girl

that I love best

Tutti frutti au rutti

Cedric!

Cedric, what have they done to you?

It was a trap.

They must have known I was

staying at the Howard Johnson's.

- But who did this?

- Never mind about that.
