I'll never forget the day I went and joined the ninety-third, The chums I used to run with said they thought I looked absurd, They saluted me and gandered me in a ring, And as they wagged me tar to kill, they all arrived a jock-mick day, There's not another soldier like him in the Scotch Brigade, Reared among the heather, You can see he's Scottish built by the wig, wig, wiggle, waggle, Wiggle of the kill, Sir, I am telling you, there's nothing like the skeleton of the bagpipes and the wiggle of the kills, Sir, I'll never forget the day we were ordered on review, The king came down to see us and the queen was weem too, As I marched by the royal coach, the king just shook his head, The queen put on her royal specs and looked at him. But there's not another soldier like him in the Scotch Brigade, Rear to me is Scottish built by the wig, wiggle, waggle, Wiggle of the kills, Oh dear, dear, I kiss you, assily, assily, assily, assily, Neither is a soldier like him in the Scotch Brigade, Reared among the heather, You can see he's Scottish built by the wig, wig, wiggle, wiggle, Wiggle.

Well some months ago, when it first became apparent that our young hero Dennis Day and Mildred Anderson were serious about each other, his landlady Mrs. Anderson felt that Dennis wasn't good enough for her daughter. That opinion of Mrs. Anderson's has been altered somewhat by time. She now feels he isn't good enough for anyone's daughter. Mrs. Anderson has never been a woman of patience and this morning she finally ran out of the little she had. So without further ado, she summoned her cuter half to her side. Herbert? Yes, Angel Eyes. I've decided this ridiculous romance between our daughter and that day boy has gone far enough. We're going to put a stop to it. But poopsie, they're crazy about each other. Why just the way we were at their age? They're infatuated and nothing more. Well haven't you noticed the way he looks at her? Just like I used to look at you with love and respect and desire and fear. I've heard enough Herbert, you're going to Dennis today and tell him he must give Mildred up. Oh poopsie, I just can't. It's too cruel. Oh, nonsense. Now suppose someone had broken up our marriage. What would I have today? No ties of any kind. Out every night in the week with a different, a different, well, maybe you're right, I'll talk to the boy. Dennis, my boy? Yes, sir? I have a message for you from headquarters. What does she say? It has been decided that when Mildred gets married she must be supported in the style to which she is accustomed. Gee, that's well. She'll be very happy to live here. I'm afraid you don't understand, my boy. Mrs. Anderson doesn't want you and Mildred to see each other anymore. Not see each other anymore? No. But Mildred and I want to get married and have a home of our own and three or four children. It wouldn't be easy under those conditions. I know, but you see, my wife feels that you're not making enough money at present. Enough money for what? Well, name it and you're not making enough. Well, it's true that I use the simplified form for my income tax. It is indeed. Guys, you know, I hate to see you in Mildred break up, son, but you're making only eight dollars a week and, well... Yeah, I know. You've asked Mr. Willoughby for a raise down at the drugstore, I suppose? Sure, lots of times. He gets very upset. His eyes pop out and he starts to shake. Oh, that isn't good for him. It isn't good for me either. I'm what he shakes. Well, let's think a minute. Now, when I was contemplating marriage, my boss let me invest in his business. You mean he let you come in as a partner? Yes. Unfortunately, the deal turned out very badly financially, but Pupsy married me anyway. Gee, you got it coming and going, didn't you? Well, nevertheless, I feel that a partnership in the drugstore is the only solution, Dennis. Now, suppose you sound out, Mr. Willoughby, today on putting a hundred dollars into his business. He sounds me out on what hundred dollars? Well, let's worry about that after you speak to Mr. Willoughby. You've got to try it, son. After all, you and Mildred have been going together for seven months. You don't want to end up going together for seven years, do you? Gosh, no. We might forget what we started out for. I'll talk to Mr. Willoughby this morning. Mr. Willoughby? Yes, Dennis? I've been thinking. On company time, use your lunch hall for that kind of nonsense. But Mr. Willoughby, this is important. What would you say if I told you I wanted to invest some money in your business? Some money? Uh-huh. My boy, my dear, dear boy. Here, have a cigar. Oh, thank you, sir. How much money? Five thousand? Three thousand? Two thousand? A thousand? You're going in the right direction, but not fast enough. How much do you want to invest? A hundred dollars. A hundred dollars? Here, have a cigar. Thank you. Back to work, my boy. Well, it was worth a try. I thought I could get my pay and a share of the profits instead of drawing a salary in Mr. Willoughby. Wait a minute. Instead of drawing a salary? Yes, sir. Son, this is the time to invest in a sound business. Things are booming today like never before in history. Really? Why, yesterday I heard you tell a customer business was never worse. Well, you've got to expect little fluctuations from day to day. I'll tell you what I'll do, Dennis. For a hundred dollars, I'll give you three percent of this drug store's net profits. Oh, boy. What'll that come to? Well, if business picks up a little, nearly seven dollars a week. Mr. Willoughby, I don't consider this a great step forward. Well, Dennis, you don't want to be a wage slave all your life, do you? I didn't, but it's beginning to look better to me now. But a partnership doesn't mean only money, son. It means prestige. Can I ever say to you again, Dennis, sweep out this store? No, sir. No. From now on, it'll have to be, partner, sweep out this store. Yes, sir. That's true. Of course. I'll go back to my office right now and draw up a paper covering the whole thing. See you later, dear partner. Gee, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Every once in a great while, I don't. But for a hundred dollars, I ought to be getting more than... Hi, Dennis. Oh, hello, Mildred. Somebody told me you were going to talk to Mr. Willoughby about a partnership. Did you? Yeah. He's inside now drawing it up. Oh, Dennis, how wonderful. At last you've taken your first step in the business world. And who knows where it'll end? It can't go far. Seven more steps and I'll starve to death. What do you mean? Well, it turns out that partners get less money than wage slaves. But Dennis, you can't back out now. It's an investment in your future. Don't you want to prove to people that you're a man? Well, I think I ought to let them rely on circumstantial evidence. But don't you realize this partnership is our only chance? Mother won't let us see each other again if you don't take it. But I don't even know where to get the hundred dollars. Well, you could try the bank. They lend money to anybody who is considered a good risk or even a fair risk. Yeah, but I'm classified as foolhardy. You're nothing of the kind. Go down to the bank and see Mr. Courtney personally. And tell him you want a loan. Well, okay, I'll go. But I have a terrible premonition. A horrible feeling that somehow this is going to lead to another of my normal days. Do you wish to arrange a loan, Mr. Day? Yes, sir. All right, sir. Now as two businessmen, let's talk about your collateral. Okay, but we're liable to lose one of our businessmen. Oh, come, come. You must have some sort of security, Mr. Day. Do you own a car, a house, some sort of property? No, sir. Anything of value at all? I have a Boy Scout knife. That's hardly adequate. However, we might possibly base the loan on your weekly earnings. Better take the Boy Scout knife. I see. Well, Mr. Day, do you think you could write the bank a note? Oh, yes, sir. Is it its birthday or something? I mean a promissory note. Oh, one of those. Yes, one of those. What are they? Mr. Day, I'm a very busy man. Suppose you leave your name and address, and if we don't get in touch with you very soon, it won't surprise me. But, Mr. Courtney, really, we... Please, Mr. Day, come in some day when I haven't quite so many personal troubles on my mind, but not today. Oh, yes, sir. I guess you mean about your daughter and that French count. I read about it in the paper. Yes, my daughter thinks she's in love with him. My own daughter losing her head over a phony like that. You know him? No, sir, not personally. But I see him in the hardware store every once in a while, buying stuff for his hair. Stuff for his hair in a hardware store? He uses Johnson's glow coat. Yes, he would. Mr. Courtney, I don't get many good ideas, but I think I thought of one. Now, you'd give a lot to see that romance broken up, wouldn't you? Anything in this world. Anything. Anything I ever had or hoped to have. Would you give $150? $110 is my top offer. Well, what have you got in mind? Well, suppose another foreign nobleman was to come along, say a Spanish duke, and win your daughter away from this French count. But then I'd be just as bad off as I am now. Not if the Spanish duke was me and after I got her, I dropped her like a hot potato. Bye, George. Day you have brains. It does sound like it today, doesn't it? Oh, it's a great idea, my boy. A wealthy Spanish nobleman. Just perfect for a little gold digger like my daughter. I won't fail you, sir. Oh, I'm certain of it, sir. Here, here's $110 in cash. Spend what you have to and keep the rest. Gosh, what a roll. Wow. Gee, Andrew Jackson. I always wondered whose picture was on a $20 bill. I, Senorita Courtney, permit me myself to introduce. Oh, of course. My father told me you were going to call on me. You're as heinous to duke Ricardo Alvarez y Valescas y Ramón de los Trujillas. Am I pronouncing it right? If you are not, who is going to? Well, do come in, your heinous. Or may I call you by your first name. Oh, see, pick out anyone you like. Oh, Ricardo, you're making fun of me. You keep thinking that no matter what anybody says. You're cute. And daddy tells me you're just enormously wealthy. Oh, see, see, I am loaded. Tell when I saw the lovely bouquet you sent. A great many pesos went into it. I told the girl on the roses on gardenia, she must have put him in by mistake. You silly boy, you're making fun of me again. It was only a question of time. Oh, I think you're just adorable. Did, um, did my father happen to mention to you anything about me being engaged? Oh, see, to a man I think he said. Yes, but I think we can forget about him. He's just so much nicer and richer. Oh, see, I am the white sheep of my family. Yes, isn't it wonderful? And you know, Ricardo, since I've been going out with the Count, Dad's cut off my allowance. There are any number of little things I'd love. That is, if you... Oh, say no more about it. We'll go down to the five and ten and run amok. Right up to ten dollars. Oh, Ricardo, you're adorable. That's the best joke yet. If the cutest little shop in Middletown, you especially will just adore it. We'll drive over. But senorita, really, I don't think we should... Oh, don't be silly. I don't object to your generosity in the least. That's the prerogative of royalty. Uh, see, huh? Of course. Come on now, you can tell me all about your subjects in Spain as we walk to the car. My subjects? Yes. What are they like? Oh, the same as here. History, chemistry, algebra. Ricardo, you darling. Ricardo, the shop I was telling you about. Look at the sign. Senora Carmen Fernandez of Madrid. Genuine Spanish Laces. Miss Courtney, I don't like this place. I think it's run by foreigners. Yes. Of course, you can talk to the senora in her native tongue. This I am inclined to doubt. Oh, silly. Senora Carmen, look what I brought you. A countryman of yours. A real duke. I am glad for to meet you, senora. But for the sake of the young lady, don't you think we should speak only English? You're so right. And me at all. You two have a nice chat in your native language. Really? We don't wanna. Well, you better go first, duke. Uh, Uh, San Luis Obispo de la Xavier Cugat to your wana? Oh, si, si. My honey, she is. Senora Carmen and I understand each other, I think. I'll say. Now let's get back to English. Would you like to see some merchandise, dearie? Yes, there are. Oh, I got some lovely things in, dearie. Look, isn't this a gorgeous negligee? Oh, it is. May I have it, Ricardo? Uh, the duke is gonna pay for it. Oh, yes. This gives me pause. So check, duke. Well, how much is it? 125. Oh, cash of course. When's the dollar and a quarter to me? I got millions. The price of the negligee happens to be 125 dollars. Huh? Wrap it up, senora. Give her the money, Ricardo. But, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. Well? But all I have here is 110. Oh, well, that'll do fine. Thanks. And I'll deliver it tonight. Oh, thank you, darling. And I'll have her delivered to you so you can give it to me tonight in person. Oh, silly. I knew you all along. Your Dennis Day, the soda clerk in Willoughby's drug store. You pretended to be a Spanish nobleman to meet me, because you're in love with me. Me? Oh, no, you're wrong, Miss Courtney. You're making a revolting development positively repulsive. Don't try to hide it, Dennis. I knew when you bought that expensive negligee for me. I think you're the sweetest boy I've ever met. I'll never let you go again. Ever. Well, Dennis, my boy, I guess there's only one thing for you to do. Drop dead. Coming over here tonight? Yeah, Mildred, and she says she'll never let go of me. Oh, think of something, and fast. Women. That's the trouble with this world. There's too many of them. If a person isn't a man, he's got to be a woman. There ought to be a third choice. Suppose you convinced her that you couldn't be true to her, that you're a regular devil. Isn't there some idea that's less fantastic? Oh, you can do it, Dennis, don't you see? I'll come to the door with a telegram or something, and you pretend I'm a stranger and make violent love to me. When she sees how fickle you are, she'll never speak to you again. Well, I'll try it, Mildred, and if it doesn't work, drop down to the bank and see me sometime. I'll be the third vice president from the left. Miss Courtney. Yes, darling. There's something I feel you should know. I could never be true to you. I believe in polygamy. What? Yeah. Strictly the gay life for me, night after night, night clubs, parties, drinking champagne out of lady slippers. First removing the ladies, of course. You mean you're girl crazy? Yeah. I wouldn't be good for you, child. I'm just an old tea bag in the cup of romance. I've been dunked too often. Look at this nonsense. Honest. I fall in love with every woman I meet. I just... Watch. This'll prove it. Wait till you see what happens to me when I see this girl. Come in. Ah, my dream girl. Stand there. Just let me look at you. Don't move from that spot. So who's moving? It's you. I thought, I mean, dream girl, I'm mad about you. I can't live without you. Force yourself. Don't you understand? I'm mad about you. Look, here's your negligee, and stay off the stuff, where you'll knock your brains out. What happens to me, Miss Courtney, and with every girl I see? But you saw, Senor, a calm in this afternoon, and nothing happened. I know. It's that night that the beast walks. There's another girl. Probably a telegram or something. But it'll happen again. You'll see. Come in. Come in. Come in. Come in. Come in. Come in. Come in. My dream girl, stay in there. Just let me look at you. Don't move from that spot. Did this day. Have you gone crazy? No, ma'am. I love you madly. Here's my arm's dream boat. Make port. What? Don't try to fight it, kid. Kid? Come on. Let's pitch woo. Bet I can pitch it faster than you can catch it. I want to see you again. Come here, young man. Wait. This is Anderson. Wait. Telegram will be busy for a few minutes. The door. Now, wait a minute. You stay where you are and I'll shove Mr. Day under the door. This is Anderson, please. Wait. That's my good nose, your boy. Wait. Dennis Day will be back in just a moment with a song. But first, here's a fact worth knowing. Colgate dental cream cleans your breath while it cleans your teeth. And that's important as our Colgate players are going to demonstrate for you.
