00:17So while you're here, enjoy the view. Keep on doing what you do. Hold on tight. We'll muddle through one

00:37like it's off one day at a time.
00:39One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time. One day at a time.
00:46One day at a time. One day at a time. Hello? Who? If that's Tom, I don't want to talk
01:07to him. Larry? Oh, she's not here now.
01:09Larry, that nerd with the Mercedes. I'll talk to him. It's not for you. Hello? Oh, just a minute. She
01:16just came in. Mom, some guy on the phone named Larry wants to talk to you. Tell him I'm not
01:22here. I just told him you were. Well, tell him something else. Make something up. You're good at that. Larry,
01:29Mom can't come to the phone now. The pains are coming every three minutes.
01:36Hello, Larry. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, well, that was just my daughter's idea of a little, uh, joke.
01:43Uh, look, Julie, you didn't have to lie.
01:45You didn't have to lie. Oh, cute. Uh, Larry, uh, yeah, well, that sounds wonderful.
01:51Uh, could you call me back, Larry? I just got out of the shower. I'm dripping wet.
01:56Uh, hi. Bye. Father, I cannot tell a lie. Martha cut down the cherry tree.
02:05Who's Larry? Uh, some guy I met at the office. He works there. He asked me to go out with
02:11him
02:11New Year's Eve to the Empire Room for dinner, dancing champagne, whoopee, noisemakers.
02:17Poor Mom. What a terrible way to start the new year.
02:20Honey, you know I don't like big parties. I always feel like I'm forcing myself to have a good time.
02:24Still sounds like fun. The party we're going to is B-Y-O-B.
02:27Bring your own bottle? Bring your own boy.
02:30Why don't you go, Ma? It sounds like fun.
02:33Well, I don't know, sweetheart. I just...
02:35I don't consider myself the, uh, party hat type.
02:39A pretty girl is like a melody.
03:04Oh, you're gorgeous.
03:07When did they operate?
03:11Hey, just watch your step.
03:13Ginny here is helping me with my costume for the New Year's Eve party down at the lodge.
03:18Me and Moose Johnson and Beer Belly, we always put on a dance routine.
03:22It's a sure winner.
03:24Bing!
03:26Set him up in the other rally.
03:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:30Ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:32Ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:34Ginny, you are going to be seen
03:36with him looking like that?
03:39Why not? The peasant look is in.
03:41Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:42Here's a cute honey.
03:43Oh, thank you.
03:44Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
03:45Ginny, I thought you had to work on New Year's.
03:48No, the boss decided to close down this year.
03:50Ha, ha, ha.
03:50He's closing a bar on New Year's?
03:52Yeah, well, last year, right at midnight, Father Time came in, said Happy New Year, and held us up.
03:58Look, if you want to come with Ginny and I down at a lodge, you're welcome.
04:02We got a great evening planned, all the ribs and crap you can eat, and the music of Elmo Sachs
04:06and the Aristocrats.
04:07They came in second in a gong show.
04:13Yeah?
04:14Oh, hi.
04:14I was looking for Ginny across the hall, but she ain't home.
04:17Oh, Orville.
04:18Come on in.
04:19Well, I got my friend Clifford with me.
04:20We don't want any truth.
04:21Oh, get out of here.
04:23Oh, okay.
04:24No!
04:26Come in and meet my friends.
04:28Orville, Clifford.
04:30Orville works at the bar.
04:31This is Ann, Julie, Barbara, and Dwayne Schneider, our super.
04:35How are you?
04:35How are you?
04:39Now, look, I don't get any ideas.
04:41I'm just gonna dance with a couple of guys.
04:44I mean, it's an act down at the lodge.
04:47I don't bother to explain.
04:49When you get to my age, there ain't no sharks left.
04:53You want to sit in?
04:54Don't mind if I do.
04:57Oh, uh, you left your sweater down at the bar, Ginny.
04:59I just thought I'd bring it by.
05:01Oh, Orville, you didn't have to do that.
05:03Oh, I didn't have nothing else to do.
05:04I was just out walking Clifford.
05:09See, it's, uh, it's a skit, see?
05:12It's just a skit.
05:13Me and two other guys, uh, we're all male guys.
05:18Are you a bartender down there?
05:20Oh, no, I'm just a dishwasher.
05:22Hmm, the best dishwasher in Indianapolis.
05:25See, Beer Belly, he's in it, too.
05:27See, Beer Belly, he's a truck driver,
05:28and he's got really hairy legs,
05:30but nothing to compare with that.
05:33You can staple a two-by-four with that.
05:40Come on, Clifford.
05:41Time to eat again.
05:43Want some apple pie?
05:44You want some coffee?
05:45You want an arm wrestle?
05:47You want to ruin your dress?
05:50Nothing for us, thanks.
05:52I'll bet you're glad you don't have to work New Year's Eve, Mr. Orville.
05:55Oh, no, not me.
05:56It's something to do.
05:58I-I kind of like peeking out of the kitchen
06:00and watching everybody singing and laughing and telling jokes.
06:04Sometimes they even send a drink into the kitchen.
06:08Mr. Orville, what are you gonna do for New Year's?
06:11Barbara.
06:12I don't know.
06:14Just hang around the hotel, I guess.
06:16They got a TV in the lobby,
06:18but you gotta play it so loud
06:19in account of all the hearing aids.
06:22I have got a terrific idea.
06:24Why don't you get yourself a sexy date
06:26and live it up?
06:27Yes, Orville,
06:28there are lots of cute chicks at your hotel.
06:31Chicks?
06:31You mean turkeys.
06:37Getting a date is easy.
06:38What's hard is getting them down the stairs.
06:42Enjoy life while you're young.
06:44Look, look, you guys, uh,
06:46why don't you come on down to the lodge with us
06:48and join the pod?
06:48Oh, no, no, thanks.
06:49We don't step out too much.
06:51Don't want to get too far from the bathroom.
06:54But, uh, we keep busy
06:56lying to each other about how many times
06:58the kids have called
06:59and when they're gonna come again.
07:03Well, uh, thanks for the company.
07:05Won't you stay and have some dessert
07:06with us, Mr. Orville?
07:07Oh, no, thanks.
07:08We've got to run along.
07:10Listen, I don't want you to get the idea
07:12that on New Year's Eve
07:12we don't have a gay old...
07:14Oh, nothing personal.
07:21We listened to Guy Lombardo.
07:22He's a comer, I'll tell you.
07:26Come on, Clifford.
07:27Time to go.
07:28Oh, where is it?
07:38Back to the hotel is what I mean.
07:40Why didn't you say so?
07:41Well, I did say so.
07:42Now, come on.
07:43Well, Orville, thanks for bringing me the sweater.
07:45Oh, that's all right.
07:46I didn't have nothing else to do.
07:48Oh, I forgot.
07:49Charlie Hilliard said to say hello
07:50and Mrs. Peabody.
07:51Oh, thanks.
07:52There's some of the folks over at the hotel.
07:55They, uh, they keep talking about the time
07:57you came to see me.
07:59Charlie was playing the piano
08:00and Ginny here, she got up
08:02and she started to sing
08:03and tell jokes and everything
08:04and when she started to flirt with Ernie Dobbs
08:07and we almost bust a guss
08:08and almost blew his pacemaker out.
08:13It sure was lots of fun.
08:16Yeah, well, uh, listen,
08:17they asked me to ask you
08:18if you wanted to,
08:20you could drop by on New Year's Eve.
08:21Of course, I told them
08:22I was pretty sure you'd have a date and everything.
08:24We got enough action.
08:25We got Guy Lombardo
08:27and all those Royal Canadians.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Well, uh, nice to see you all.
08:34Uh, happy New Year, ladies.
08:36Uh, hey, ladies.
08:38What, I've been shaving since I was 12.
08:43That's so sad.
08:44All those nice people
08:45and nobody has any time for them.
08:47Yeah, well, I mean, you know,
08:49if we weren't going down to the lodge, we...
08:51Well, why don't we all stop by?
08:53No, no, no, wait a second.
08:55Now, Ginny, I gotta get down to lodge early.
08:56I'm on the hello and smile committee.
08:59Yeah.
08:59Give them a hello and smile first.
09:01The ladies would really flip over you, Schneider.
09:04Oh, I...
09:04We could do a show.
09:05Ma, you could do a dance routine.
09:07That's right.
09:08Grandma's always bragging about
09:09what a good dancer you are.
09:10Yeah, well, yeah, I've got that date.
09:11Yeah, yeah, the date with the party
09:13and the noisemakers
09:15and all those fun people.
09:16Okay, yeah.
09:16Come on, Schneider.
09:18Now, Ginny, I have been going
09:19to the lodge party on New Year's
09:21for 16 straight years.
09:25I have to lead the grand march.
09:29I pull a balloon string at 12 o'clock.
09:38I un-bunged the beer.
09:42Couldn't you leave it bunged just this once?
09:50You really have a way with men.
09:54All right.
09:54If we're gonna do it,
09:55we better do it right now.
09:56We only got three days,
09:57so I better lead off.
09:58And what I'm gonna lead off with?
10:00My Muhammad Ali impression.
10:02Ro-pa-do-pa-do-pa-do-pa.
10:03Annie?
10:04Hey.

10:21Clifford, what are you doing?
10:23The show's about to start.
10:24I don't wanna miss Guy Lombardo.
10:26It ain't midnight yet.
10:27Take me that long to get my tubes warmed up.
10:30Your tubes burned out 20 years ago.
10:33Come on, sit down and relax and enjoy the show.
10:36You just might like it, you know.
10:37Bunch of kids butting in down here.
10:39I suppose we'll have to feed them.
10:41You know what's the matter with you?
10:42You didn't get your all brand this morning.
10:44All right.
10:45Shut up.
10:46They're starting.
10:46Shut up.
10:47Shut up.
10:47I do.
10:58I do.
10:59Happy New Year, everybody, and good evening, ladies and germs.
11:05Isn't that the girl we met the other day?
11:09Well, I'm here tonight, ladies and gentlemen, to welcome you to the grand ballroom of the
11:13Palatial Park Utopia Hotel, known affectionately as Old P.U.
11:18Hey, kid, I adore his mustaches.
11:22You know, the last time I checked into a hotel was on my honeymoon, and the place was so crowded,
11:26they gave us a bed in the elevator.
11:28You talk about a marriage having a lot of bucks and downs.
11:31Ha, ha, ha.
11:32Yes, sirree, buddy.
11:36Guy Lombardo tells better jokes.
11:38Speaking about New Year's resolutions, I made a promise to myself that this year I wasn't
11:43going to drink any more.
11:45I wasn't going to drink any less, but I wasn't going to drink any more.
11:49Ha, ha, ha.
11:50Ah, yeah, like my dear old mother used to say, clean mind, clean body.
11:56Take your pick.
11:59And now, ladies and gentlemen, while the piano is being moved out to signify that a marvelous
12:04musical act is coming on, I take great pleasure and the privilege in introducing you the biggest
12:09musical act in show business, ladies and gentlemen, Elton John and Kiki Dean!
12:39Oh, honey, if I get restless, baby, you're not that kind.
12:53Oh, honey, when you knock at my door, oh, I give you my keys.
13:00Ooh, ooh, ooh, nobody knows it.
13:06But when I was down, I was your clown.
13:10Ooh, ooh, ooh, nobody knows it.
13:14And nobody knows it's right from the start.
13:18I give you my heart, oh, oh, I give you my heart.
13:26And nobody told us.
13:29Cause nobody showed us.
13:32And now it's up to us, baby.
13:35Oh, I think we can make it.
13:40Don't misunderstand me.
13:42Don't misunderstand me.
13:43You put the light in my life.
13:46Oh, you put the spark to the flame.
13:49I got your heart in my eyes.
13:51I got your heart in my eyes.
13:54Ooh, ooh, ooh, nobody knows it.
14:00But when I was down, I was your clown.
14:03And right from the start, I gave you my heart.
14:06Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, I gave you my heart.
14:13Don't go breakin' my heart

14:52I'm missing all the muggings.
14:55Hey, hey, yes, sirree.
14:56How about it, ladies and gentlemen?
14:58Elton John and Kiki D.
14:59What do you think?
15:01Yes, sirree.
15:03Well, how about the two great piano movers we have here?
15:06Yes, sir.
15:08Yes, sir.
15:09How about this great country that we all live in?
15:11How about that?
15:12I mean that.
15:13But I think you're all warmed up now for me possibly to sing for you my favorite song.
15:19There's a hole in the mattress, honey, so I'll meet you in the spring.
15:24How about the other side of that record?
15:27I can't get over a girl like you, so get up and answer the phone yourself.
15:33Hey, would you like to hear the old kangaroo song?
15:36The old kangaroo song?
15:38I've got you under my skin.
15:42That's funny.
15:43Yeah, yeah.
15:45Oh, these are the biggest jokes I got.
15:47Yeah, there's a woman acting my own heart.
15:50Look at her there.
15:51A doctor friend gave me that joke.
15:53He's got his practice in Cairo.
15:54He was a chiropractor.
15:55He's a chiropractor.
16:00Hey, miss, get on with the entertainment.
