We're going to have a lot of fun together, Katie.

No, Benson's not. This is his first lieutenant governor's conference, and

going to make a good impression if it kills me. That's what I like about

She keeps me motivated.

Benson, I just ran into the lieutenant governor of California. He said to say

hello. Oh, yeah. What's his name? It's running right out of my head.

Felder. That's a funny name for a man, even in California.

Felder.

Gritch. Felder.

Gritch and Crouch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's me, little Gritch.

So what are you doing here? Well, I'm booked here.

I mean, in the hotel, in the Versailles room. Still wowing them with my

hypnotism. Oh, yeah?

Well, let me introduce you. Oh.

Benson, Clayton, get it over here, quick.

This is Lieutenant Governor Benson Dubois. How do you do? And Clayton

Hello. This is my friend Zelda Romanshkova.

Pleased to meet you, Miss Zelda.

Why don't you come along backstage with me? We'll catch up on dull times.

Benson,

do you want me to go to your room with you?

What will Zelda think?

No, no, I mean... to talk business.

You know what I mean.

Come on.

Let's go.

Why don't you look at this, Benson?

You know, really, it's disgusting to see people show such a wanton disregard for

something as nice as money.

Relax, Clayton. It's just a game.

Why don't you give it a try?

You might even like it.

Eh? All right.

Got a quarter?

Where's your money?

I just got a dollar bill. I don't want to break it.

A dollar bill? You don't want to break it? It's cheap here.

Quarter.

What's the matter?

That's pretty easy.

Well, I'm leaving.

There's really no justice in the world, you know? Hey,

what have you got here?

Once more from the top.

Come on, here we go.

Come on, pay attention.

Jimmy Crack Corn. No, I started on that. Come on.

Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't care.

Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't care.

Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't care. What are you doing? That's not the way the

chorus goes.

I don't care. You don't care? Well, I care. Once more from the top. Now, do it

right. No more messing around. Come on, here we go.

Jimmy Crack Corn, and I don't care.

As I walked out.

That's not funny.

That's not even the right song.

You know it. Right? I just really, I really don't. I really hate that. This

really great.

This is really great. Las Vegas is really some kind of town. It's an

town. At home, all we have is recorded music in the elevator.

You guys. Jimmy Crack Corn. As I walked out in the streets of the... You

gotta...

Start working bigger rooms.

Come on, let's go. Once more from the top. Here we go. Jimmy crack corn

and I push the button, please.

Push the button. Jimmy crack corn and I don't care.

So, what do you want to do today, Dad? Honey, whatever you want to do, this is

your vacation.

So you decide.

We can go see the Hoover Dam.

We can sail on Lake Mead. We can drive up to Virginia City. Anything.

go to the mall.

The mall?

Yeah, I love to shop.

Okay, the mall. I think it's this way.

Let's see what we have here.

Vent. We call that blackjack, sir.

That is absolutely right.

I seem to be crowding the table with my winnings.

Perhaps I should try my hand at another game.

No, that's entirely up to you.

Where's the real action around here?

High rollers like yourself, they usually prefer to play craps.

Well, I think I'll just give that a whirl.

I mean, I'm obviously a natural.

That's you, Mr.

Natural.

your breakfast?

At least you don't have it until I wake up.

I am talking about your breakfast with the governor of Nevada.

You've got 15 minutes.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Two of the world's most beautiful people. How's it going?

What are you dressed up for? I got an early date with a deck of cards.

So you decided to go dressed as a joker?

I love that sense of humor.

Don't you ever change, huh?

There you go.

You are a beautiful human being.

Anything else you want to do?

Not really.

You want to go around the hotel again?

If you want to.

Well, if you want to.

Why don't we just sit down?

Isn't it too cold out here for you?

No, it's nice.

Winters here aren't like back home.

Well, so who's your favorite singer nowadays?

Oh, I don't know.

I hear this Prince fellow is very entertaining.

Yeah, he's okay.

Well, when I was your age, I was crazy about Glenn Miller.

He's all right.

You've heard Glenn Miller?

Yeah, we had to study him in music history.

Katie, I guess I just don't know what to talk to you about anymore.

You're trying too hard, Dad.

Why don't you talk to me about you?

Me?

You want me to talk about me?

Yeah.

Well, how about you?

Me?

Well, I was a very long baby.

Really?

Oh, Katie, you're a wonderful daughter.

I love you too, Dad.

a place to bet, sir.

In a minute. In a minute.

Okay. Let me save these three here and put it

on 13.

No. 13.

21.

I don't know. Maybe 13.

Maybe 13. No, no. 21.

Okay.

Okay.

Mint 13.

You owe me a mint 13.

Goodbye there.

Mint 13.

What? Clayton!

Huh? How you doing?

How am I doing?

A loser.

Well, at least the trip was educational.

Well, why don't you come with us? We are going to meet the governor and Katie

and see my friend Zelda perform.

Yeah, but maybe you ought to change this suit first.

Gone.

Everything is gone.

Oh, the poor guy.

Oh, Crossman didn't lose a dime of his own money.

Oh, well, then, who cares?

Come on, let's go.

I don't mean to bother you, but I think you are great.

You are one of my biggest fans.

She's a little excited. I'm not very bright.

Would you mind giving me my autograph?

No, I know what you mean. It would be my pleasure. Do you have a pen or a

pencil?

It's me.

Ah, good.

You have a lovely wife.

You have a lovely jacket.

Would you like to trade?

Now, I'm sure you are all familiar with hypnotism, huh? Or what you think is

hypnotism, such as the twirling pendant on the chain.

Well, you are not going to see that here tonight.

With what they're paying me, I can hardly afford to eat, never mind to buy

jewelry.

These, oh, these, darling, they're leftovers of Zsa Zsa's.

Curtain, please, darling.

No, no, no.

All my act requires is your cooperation, all right?

So, why don't we get things started by having two volunteers come up out of the

audience?

Who wants to give it a try?

Huh?

Come on.

Don't be shy.

Benson. Benson, come on. It'll be fun. No, I don't want to go. Let me go.

Benson.

Ah, there we are.

Come right up, darlings. Come on, Kraus. Now, I don't even think I can be

hypnotized. Well, just play along. I don't know.

Please, a night hand for these lovely people.

Now, friends, I must tell you that this lady is a friend of mine from many years

ago, Gretchen Krause.

But tell the truth, Gretchen, never before have I hypnotized you, right?

I don't think so.

It's too bad, because if you had, you would explain a lot.

Gretchen, darling, I want you should look at me.

Now, Gretchen.

Singing back across the many years to when we first met in New York.

Now go back.

Back.

You are just a young girl.

Way, way back.

Sleep, Richard.

Good.

You are just a young lad in Bavaria.

It's very cold.

Someone is coming down the path.

Who is it?

Oh, it is Johan, the goatherd.

The goatherd. He can keep you warm.

Oh, yeah.

Now, wake up.

You wake her up.

Wake Gretchen.

Benson, what are you doing?

defending myself.

Thank you, Gretchen. Thank you. Wasn't she wonderful? A hand for Miss Krause,

please. Thank you, darling. You're wonderful.

And now you are.

Uh,

Benson Dubois. Oh, yes, Benson Dubois. You are here for the lieutenant

governor's conference.

And how is it going so far?

Well, very, very busy. Oh, yes. Well, maybe now you have a little time to

Mm -hmm.

Do you feel relaxed?

Oh, more than relaxed. More like tired.

Good, good.

Just let your body go limp.

Oh, no, no, no. Not that limp.

So, I understand you are a successful politician, but tell me, is there

else you have ever dreamed of being?

Well, I like to sing.

You got a shower handy?

Can you dance?

Sure, I can move, yeah.

Friends, are we going to have a good time tonight?

I should warn you, many people have tried to hypnotize me before. Sleep.

Good.

You are no longer Benson Dubois, lieutenant governor.

You are now Benson Dubois, Las Vegas headliner.

When I count to three, you will be ready to perform your opening act, assisted

by the solid gold dancers.

One, two.

Is everyone having a good time?

Then let's party.

Even before you...
