:08:01
All right.
Let's try it on for size.

:08:03
How'd you like a territic buildup
betore the show...

:08:07

tuned into you next Sunday?

:08:09
We will have. After all,
we've got the Moscow Ballet and Birdie.

:08:12
- This is bigger.
- Bigger?

:08:14
Betore Conrad Birdie
goes into the army...

:08:16
he bestows a farewell kiss
on all the swooning girls...

:08:19
who worship him on your TV show.
:08:22
Atter all, it's only an hour show,
and Birdie only gets four minutes.

:08:26
He kisses them all symbolically.
:08:28
- What'd you say?
- Symbolically.

:08:30
- Actually, he'll only kiss one girl.
- He kisses only one girl?

:08:33
Can't you see it? Birdie,
their idol, their leader...

:08:36
kissing one tabulously
lucky teenage Tessie?

:08:39
- Yeah! Yeah !
- lt'll melt every bobby pin in America.

:08:41
lt's gigantic. The newspapers will eat
it up. Think of the advance publicity.

:08:45
Get the Birdie's
fan club file right away.

:08:47
- Get us a girl trom Ohio.
- Gotcha!

:08:49
We'll do it from the outdoor theater,
Columbus, Ohio, right after the ballet.

:08:54
- l'll get the girl.
- The network will handle the details.

:08:57
And atter the kiss,
Birdie sings a big song.

:09:00
- That's where Rosie gets her payoff.
- l don't get it.

:09:03
- The song is ''One Last Kiss.''
- Never heard of it.

:09:06
- Hasn't been written yet.
- Who is going to write this classic?

:09:09
Oh, who else, but my tuture husband,
Mr. Albert F. Peterson?

:09:14
Birdie's been wanting
to give Albert a break tor six years.

:09:16
l know he'll use the song,
if you say so.

:09:18
Any song will do even though it's
written by your ever-lovin' Albert.

:09:24
Thank you, Mr. Sullivan.
:09:25
With a plug like this, that song
will sell a million records.

:09:29
- Man, what royalties!
- We can sure use the money.

:09:32
Any day now Albert and l
will have another mouth to teed.

:09:35
Rosie, you're not even married yet.
:09:37
His mother! Bye.
