The Time of Their Lives (1946)
(from internet transcript)
I don't seem
to remember this piece.
Uh-oh!
Oh!
Okay, Phantom,
we gotcha covered!
Stick up your hands.
And this time, don't try disappearin' or
we'll fill ya full of lead.
Mister, whoever you are,
don't get violent.
There's his little playmate over there.
Get your hands up, sister.
Come on. Get 'em up.
Better get 'em up.
They sound awful mad.
Okay, Phantom, we wanna know
who tipped ya off. Start singin'.
I'm... I'm not
in good voice tonight.
You heard
the boss. Sing.
Come on now. Sing.
Drink to me
Only with thine eyes
And I will
Cut the stallin'.
Pledge.
Pledge with mine
What's that?
The cops.! Blow.! Everybody, blow.!
Go on, boys.
Let 'em have it.!
Melody. Melody!
M-Melody!
M-Melody! Don't ever
leave me alone!
Oh, be calm.
Be reasonable.
Sounds like the radio. Well, it
can't be the Revolutionary War.
Listen again tomorrow
night to The Phantom Hour.
How does the Phantom
and his lady escape?
Like this.
Wait... Wait for me.
And now, Midnight Dan brings you
a half hour of popular dance tunes.
Oh, the idea of Shelly playing
the radio this hour of night!
