A Connecticut Yankee

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the great Broadway musical hit, Connecticut Yankee, starring Gordon MacRae, and his guest star, Jenny Sim.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad, The same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, tonight I'll be Hank Barrett, the Connecticut Yankee, and Ginny Sims will play a couple of girls named Sandy.

Now, we don't expect you to believe that this story really happened, but wouldn't it be fun if it did? I ask you, Sandy, is there a law in the state of Connecticut that says you have to get married?

Oh, Hank, I've got to go through it. Well, then just change the starting lineup. Scratch the bridegroom and her me instead. Well, Mervin would be mortified. Mervin, how could you marry a guy who does parlor tricks?

Well, mother likes him. Oh, Sandy, this isn't the Dark Ages. Nowadays you don't marry to please your folks. You're supposed to follow your heart. I took one rule, that's all I meant. Not a single word, unfelt last.

Miso a secret thing. Kiss me, Sandy.

While I'm in the other room entertaining guests, I find this man kissing my future wife. Well, you're not the only one who does parlid tricks, meriville boy. You bounder, you thief, you man! Now put down that bottle.
