From Bye Bye Birdie

(Reporters questions-spoken)
Reporter 1: How does Conrad about going into the army?
Albert: How does he feel? You ask how he feels. He's much too shy to tell you so tell you how he feels. He feels brave and eager, strangely humble. Proud to be a plain G.I.
Rosie: He gladly, face those bullets, for he's not afraid to die.
Girls: For he's a fine abstanding patriotic, healthy American boy.
Albert (spoken): And why he volunteered.

Rosie(spoken): Is he engaged? Is engaged? There's absolutely nothing to the rumor he's engaged.
