:08:12

: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

fan club file right away.
:08:47

- Gotcha!
:08:49
We'll do it from the outdoor theater,
Columbus, Ohio, right after the ballet.
:08:54

- 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
