From Bye Bye Birdie

(Reporters questions-spoken)
Reporter 1: How does Conrad feel about going the army?
Albert: How does he feel? You ask how he feels. He's much too shy to tell you so I'll tell you how he feels. He feels brave and eager, strangely humble. Proud to be a G.I.
Rosie: He would gladly, those bullets, for he's not afraid to die.
Girls: For he's a fine abstanding patriotic, healthy American boy.
(spoken): And that's why he volunteered.
Reporter 2 (spoken): Volunteered? I heard he 3 times!
(spoken):Sing!
Girls: We you Conrad, oh yes we do, we love you Conrad, and we'll be true. When you're not near us, we're blue/ OH Conrad we love you.
3 (spoken): What's the picture on you and that Hollywood star? Are you two engaged?
Rosie(spoken): Is he engaged? Is Conrad engaged? absolutely nothing to the rumor he's engaged.
Albert: She's a real pal., like a sister, but it doens't mean a thing. And that 18 karat diamond, it was just a ring.
Girls: For a fine abstanding patriotic, healthy normal American boy.
Reporter 4 (spoken): Then why was her husband so
(spoken): Sing!
Girls: We you Conrad, oh yes we do, we love you Conrad, and we'll be true.
Albert (spoken): Why, I'll forget Conrad's first word's when he heard he'd been accepted into the armed forces. 'Gee Mr. Peterson' he cried eagerly, 'Do you think they'll assign me to one of those frontline trenches (army talk here I don't know what they're saying)
