Danny Thomas as Arnold. E-G-D-E-B. Let's try this. Yeah. Oh, hello Ray. How's it coming?

It is and I think I'm burned out. Right, out. Oh, sure. 20 years you've been writing top songs every two weeks, you bite out. Well, it's going to happen eventually. Yeah, I don't talk silly.

I wasn't asking about that. How's the speech coming? The speech. The speech? Tomorrow afternoon at the college commencement exercises. Oh, my gosh. It's a matter. I forgot. You haven't even started it? I forgot all about the thing.

Ronald, get wetted. It's tomorrow. Never make it. What? You got to get me off the hook. You're the principal speaker. Your name's all over the program. I'll get sick. That's it, I'll get sick. You can't get sick, you gotta give the speech.

I mean, I'll say I'm sick. No. Look, as a matter of fact, I am sick, I'm overworked. Well, baby, if I'm your personal manager, you gotta let me manage. You can't duck this thing. Everybody's coming, your family, your friends.

Too late. I can't write a speech anyway. I know you'll disgrace yourself. Look, I never went to college. I got nothing to say on a subject. They don't want you to talk about college. They want you to talk about yourself.
