"You haven't changed much, doug, except for that brush." "Get a load of that brush, will you, ted?" "Ha ha ha!" "Where'd you come in from, doug?" "Chicago." "How about you?" "Schenectady." "Same old place." "How about you, ted?" "I've been here the whole time." "You have?" "I didn't know you'd been here all this time." "Yeah." "Well... yeah!" "Well." "We're us!" "Hey, tim!" "Tim!" "Tim, we made it!" "Well, well, well, if it isn't the rover boys." "He didn't even know me when i first came in." "Tim, you said we'd never make it, and here we are." "You got no faith, that's what's the matter with you." "Come on, set 'em up." "Got to break open a fresh bottle for this." "I don't think i could handle a drink, ted." "What?" "I'm not too fit digestion-wise." "Little bit of a nervous stomach." "Oh." "Well, come to think of it, i haven't had a drink at noon in a lot of years myself." "Maybe i could handle one." "I'll take a couple of these pills." "Ok by me." "I'm game." "Boy, this is great." "Well, to us." "To us." "Cut that out, will you?" "The sacroiliac." "Oh, i'm sorry." "If connie could only see me now- drinking in the middle of the afternoon." "I got some pictures here of connie and the kids." "Very nice." "You kept pretty busy these 10 years." "Yeah." "How about you guys?" "You married?" "Yes, i'm married." "Pictures of the kids?" "No." "We don't have any children." "Well, i'll lend you a couple of mine!" "And how about you, ted?" "You married?" "No, thank you." "Well, let's have another drink." "Yeah." "Let's have another drink." "Boy, this is great." "Great." "You know what?" "Let's drink to old bootsie." "Who?" "Who's old bootsie?" "You know." "Don't you remember?" "Bootsie." "That kid in our outfit who was always tripping over everything." "From the south." "We always used to toast old bootsie." "Don't you remember?" "It was good luck, and then we always used to laugh." "Why?" "I don't know." "Sure." "Come on, doug." "Old bootsie." "No." "I couldn't handle another one." "All right, angie." "Bottoms up." "Bottoms up." "Here you are, tim." "No, here." "Let me get this." "No." "No, i'm the host here." "This is my hometown." "Hey, 50 bucks." "You're doing all right, ted, but i always knew you would." "I'm doing swell." "I borrowed it from my barber this morning." "It's strictly temporary." "I'll be in the chips tomorrow." "I got to call connie and tell her about this." "She didn't believe you guys would show up." "She's a great girl, connie." "Sometimes a little bit jealous." "Guess you know what that's like, huh, doug?" "Oh, sure." "I'll tell you what we'll do." "We'll have a few more drinks here, and we'll go somewhere for lunch, huh?" "Yeah." "Florio's." "Florio's." "Veal parmigiana." "Lasagne." "I couldn't handle that heavy food." "I have to be a little careful, restaurant-wise- go where they know me." "Why don't i take you two chaps to the turquoise?" "The turquoise?" "Whoo." "I'll handle it." "No." "I can handle it." "No." "I wouldn't think of it." "I'll just put it on the expense account." "I'll charge this whole day off as a business trip." "That's just swell." "Doug, you never did get back to europe to paint, did you?" "No." "Career-wise, it didn't seem practical, but i've been creative in the advertising line with little miss mop-up for klenzrite and jolio the gelatin man." "No." "I don't miss la vie boheme one bit." "Little miss mop-up." "You did that?" "What do you know?" "If you're ever up schenectady way, you have to drop in at my place." "Real red meat at the cordon bleu." "At the what?" "The cordon bleu." "That's the name of my hamburger joint." "Ha ha ha!" "That's rich." "That is priceless." "What's so funny?" "As far as names go, it seems to me little miss mop-up and jolio the gelatin man are pretty priceless themselves." "Oh, well, I- come on." "Jolio the gelatin man." "Your call to schenectady, sir." "Gee, thanks." "Hello?" "Connie?" "Hey, it's me." "I'm talking to you from a table at the turquoise." "What a swanky dump." "What do you know?" "They both showed up." "Oh, it's great." "Like old times." "How are the kids?" "Good." "How did johnny do in the columbus day school pageant?" "Oh?" "He forgot "oh, columbus, we salute you"?" "Went over that line a thousand times with him." "Look, connie, i'll call you back later." "Tell you when i'm coming home." "Miss you, too." "Yeah." "Good-bye." "Ted, how about you?" "Law school and the political arena?" "The midtown arena is about the only arena i know." "Which reminds me- i have to get up to stillman's gym later and look at my fighter." "Racketeers in the fight game, huh?" "Glad i'm in a respectable business." "I shouldn't have come i shouldn't have come this thing's a mistake an awful mistake that guy's such a snob and who is that hick?" "Can these be the guys i once thought i could never live without?" "Doug:" "Who do you think will win the world series?" "Both teams look pretty good to me." "Yeah." "Yeah." "May the best team win." "This thing is a frost i'd like to get lost old pals are the bunk this guy's a cheap punk and that one's a heel and i'm a schlemiel can these be the guys i once thought" "i could never live without?" "This thing's a bad dream why can't i just scream?" "Aaaaah!" "Oh, why did i fly to new york from chi?" "To drink scotch at noon with a hick and a goon can these be the guys i once thought i could never live without?" "This guy is a punk, a punk, a punk this guy is a snob, a snob, a snob this guy is a dope, a hick, a square i shouldn't have come, i'm in despair" "our dreams are dust and down the drain this thing is a bust, and i'm insane oh, why did i come?" "Why am i here?" "A hick a square a snob a punk a hick a square a slob a ha ha ha ho ho ho ho a hick, a square, a snob, a punk why did i come?" "Why am i here?" "Why?" "Good afternoon, miss leighton." "This way, please." "Thank you, carl." "Thank you." "Scotch old-fashioned, please, carl." "That's what i like." "An old-fashioned girl." "I'm an old-fashioned boy, myself." "Here we are, gentlemen." "Salisbury steak medium for you, sir." "Thank you." "Medium rare for you, mr." "Hallerton." "Thank you." "And well done for you, sir." "Thank you." "Hey!" "You call this a hamburger?" "For 4 bucks?" "Angie, shh, please." "Come on, ted, you taste it." "You know about horses." "I tell you this hamburger ran in the kentucky derby." "Forget it, angie." "Listen." "If i served stuff like this, i'd be run out of schenectady on the third rail." "Will you shut up?" "What did you say?" "I said be quiet." "This is very embarrassing." "Angie, don't act like a yokel." "We're in a very high-class place." "Didn't stop you from trying to make a quick pickup, i noticed." "I've picked up dames in better places than this." "I doubt that." "I don't think either of you crumbs could get in a place like this without me." "Who's a crumb?" "You are." "You cheap snob." "I'm sorry." "Me, too." "So am i." "I guess we've had it." "Yeah." "Guess so." "Waiter." "Check, please." "Man:" "Hey, hallerton." "Well, well, well." "Oh, mr." "Fielding." "I didn't know you were in town." "Just for the day." "How's the missis?" "Fine, thank you." "Is she with you?" "No, not this trip." "Oh, mr." "Fielding, these are two friends of mine." "Mr. Valentine, and this is mr." "Riley." "How do you do, mr." "Fielding?" "We were in the war together." "We're having a little reunion." "Haven't seen each other in 10 years." "Must be a lot of fun getting together to talk about old times." "Mr. Fielding, excuse me." "Oh, miss leighton." "I've been calling you and couldn't reach you." "It's very important." "Miss leighton, i want you to meet hallerton of chicago." "He's one of our executive vice presidents out there." "He's responsible for the miss mop-up campaign." "Oh, you're the one." "Miss leighton is one of our best idea men." "I should say women." "You certainly should." "You know, she's the program coordinator on our biggest klenzrite tv show- midnight with madeline." "What do you know?" "Doug, aren't you going to introduce us?" "Oh, certainly." "Miss leighton, this is mr." "Valentine and mr." "Riley." "Ted riley." "I suggest we skip lunch and get right over to madeline's rehearsal." "You know how she is." "Sweetie, i can't." "I'm waiting here for stamper and trasker." "And donner and blitzen." "I'm afraid we really better go." "All right." "Doug, why don't you come along and have a look-see?" "We're rehearsing over at the fontainebleau." "I'd like that very much." "Well, so long, fellas." "Bring your friends along." "No!" "I mean, we're just about through here lunch-wise, and i'm sure they're very busy appointment-wise." "Not at all, doug." "We'd love to come along." "I've got about an hour to kill before i have to be at stillman's gym." "You see, i own a plug-ugly who's going to be engaged fisticuffs-wise tonight, and i have to stop by and put the lead weights in his gloves and wise him up wise-wise." "Sure." "Sure." "Come along." "You, too, mr. - i'd sure like to meet madeline in the flesh- maybe get her autograph to take home." "Yes, you could hang it on the wall of your hot dog stand." "Hamburgers." "Hamburgers, of course." "How crude of you, douglas." "Shall we go?" "Man:" "Say, fielding?" "Oh, stamper and trasker." "Yes." "We're just on our way over to the fontainebleau, and this is- the fontainebleau, please." "7 of us couldn't fit in one cab." "Of all the- now, don't get mad." "I had a crazy notion you and i should get better acquainted." "I see." "Besides, i think you're about the prettiest program coordinator i've ever seen." "You know, a fella's not safe alone in a cab with a girl these days." "All right." "Ok." "Satisfied?" "I just couldn't face the boredom of fighting you off for 10 blocks." "It's the simplest method, my own invention." "Remove the initiative from the brute male, and he'll retire in confusion." "Now, while you retire in confusion, i'll do a little work." "What kind of a screwball are you?" "To save you the strain of trying to understand me, i'll give you the salient facts." "Graduate of barnard, summa cum laude, career girl." "I'm fairly pretty, which is a nuisance." "I attract a lot of men at first, but i can always find a way of getting rid of them, and then everybody's happy all around." "In short, i can always scare them off." "I don't scare easy." "No?" "No." "Did you ever hear of planck, who discovered the quantum theory in 1895?" "Without that and maxwell's field theory, there never would have been a theory of relativity." "And did you ever hear of magadization, the pre-medieval musical system of voices singing or playing octaves apart?" "And did you- time." "Did you ever hear of kid mariacchi?" "Kid mariacchi?" "Yeah." "Middleweight." "Fighting tonight." "5 foot 9, 165." "39, 42." "8 straight knockouts in a row." "Good chance of flattening helding tonight." "You're flattening me right now." "It's just a trick." "It doesn't mean anything." "It has nothing to do with intelligence, but men do find it an awful bore." "And i'll tell you something." "I don't care." "Because as shakespeare said in the tempest, act 2, scene 7:" ""Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly."" ""Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly."" "Well, in some ways, you and me and shakespeare see eye to eye." "I got my diploma this afternoon." "You and your war buddies?" "Yeah." "You saw it." "We met at our old wartime hangout, little place called tim's bar." "We expected to pick up where we left off 10 years ago." "What a laugh." "Never mind." "It's on klenzrite." "See?" "You didn't bother me in the least on the rest of the trip." "My own invention." "That invention's going to explode in your face someday, einstein." "Well, so long." "Aren't you going to say good-bye to your pals?" "We said good-bye a long time ago." "But don't let that worry you." "You'll see me again." "Just take the male initiative and pick me up at stillman's gym about 4:00." "I wouldn't bet on that." "You know, there's a lot of things you shouldn't bet on." "Like that shakespeare quote, for instance." "It ain't the tempest act 2, scene 7. it's as you like it act 2, scene 7." ""Hey-ho, sing hey-ho unto the green holly, most friendship is feigning, most loving, mere folly."" "Oh, i'm around stillman's all the time." "Man:" "Quiet." "Quiet, please." "Rehearsal." "Klenzrite presents... midnight with madeline, starring... madeline!" "Music is better than words you break the spell when you start to speak that technique is all wrong just forget about words and sing her a song" "music was made for romance love and a sweet song go hand in glove every lover knows this and the sweeter the song, the sweeter the kiss" "when you're without love, you cry and your song is the blues but when you've got love, you're high and your song is a gay refrain" "a happy strain that sings out the news don't let the night go to waste looking for ways to say i love you take your cue from the birds" "music music is better" "music is better than words" "applause, applause, applause." "And now, you dear ladies and gentlemen, we come to the part of the program which is always my favorite because it means something." "Because it means this big, cold canyon we call new york really has a heart, and if you listen very hard, you can hear it throb." "The throb of manhattan." "Last week we brought you thomas w." "Jackwood, reunited right here with his wife and children after 30 years in jail." "Tonight again, our surprise guest or guests are somewhere in this room." "Spotlight." "Could it be you?" "Yes." "Yes, it's you, mr." "Kebbner." "This, ladies and gentlemen, is donald w." "Kebbner of the bronx- one of the last army of little gray men struggling along from day to day gallantly making ends meet." "Everyone has a dream, ladies and gentlemen." "Such a one is mr." "Kebbner- a simple man with a dream of visiting the orient in its unparalleled splendor, but all his life he has spent in his candy store on superior avenue, where he has brought the orient to him by constructing, for 16 years," "a complete table-sized model of the taj mahal executed entirely in chewing-gum wrappers." "No." "No." "No." "No!" "I will not have this on my show!" "It's terrible!" "Jackie, what are you trying to do, ruin me?" "Madeline, it's the best we could do as a last-minute substitute." "We had something so wonderful- a totally reformed drunkard who was going to tell us his inspiring story." "Yes, but he got drunk." "You geniuses will just have to put your heads together." "I won't do the show tonight." "I just won't go on." "I want 40 million people to sit home and cry and love me." "Sam, get me a club sandwich, a double order of french fries, and two cans of beer." "Make it 3!" "Madeline, please, your diet... you know what happens to your figure when you start eating." "Who cares about my diet or my figure?" "I'm unhappy, and i want to eat." "Here's a nice pimento cheese sandwich." "I don't want a pimento cheese sandwich." "Sweetie, it took you so long to take off those 20 pounds." "You mustn't give up the battle of the bulge." "Ha ha ha!" "Ha ha ha!" "Look who's talking, fatso." "You didn't get that corporation on lettuce and tomato sandwiches." "Yeah, but, sweetie, nobody pays to look at me in an evening gown." "Who cares?" "I'm not going on tonight!" "Madeline, wait a minute." "This chewing-gum man has no sympathy!" "Look, sweetie." "You got to lay off those fat sandwiches." "Now calm down, everybody." "I think i've got the spot solved for tonight." "It's the foulest notion i've had yet, but after all, it's for the glory of klenzrite." "The show must go on." "What is it?" "It's human." "It's up to the minute." "It's guaranteed to tear your guts out!" "Yes?" "It will take coordination- everybody pitching in, even you." "Darling, what is it?" "The 3 war buddies." "They met today for the first time in 10 years at their old hangout, a little place called tim's bar." "You mean hallerton and what's his name and what's his name?" "Right." "And tonight, much to their surprise, they will meet again at 11:00 and be interviewed by madeline on throb of manhattan." "Oh!" "It's beautiful!" "Beautiful!" "Our boys and me and the whole nation watching and weeping." "That's very good." "You think we ought to talk to hallerton about this?" "No." "This has to be a surprise show." "Something tells me these 3 old pals wouldn't want to do this." "You just take care of hallerton and get him to the theater by 11:00." "And, madeline, you take care of mr." "Schenectady." "How am i going to take care of mr. - don't let him out of your sight." "Take him anyplace he wants to go." "To dinner?" "Yes." "Eat your head off." "Now, let's see, that's hallerton and valentine, and i guess i'll have to be responsible for number 3." "Nashby:" "Get that." "Ok, that's enough." "Hey, what's eating you?" "Huh?" "Oh." "Nothing." "I was just thinking about the fight." "Ted." "Thanks, nashby." "So long." "You mad at me about something?" "What have i got to be mad at you about?" "Man:" "Riley." "Someone to see you." "Someone about 6 foot 4 with a broken nose and an i.o.u. In his hand?" "No." "About 5 foot 5, neat little nose, and "i love you" in her eyes." "Hey, lady." "Come in." "Hello." "Well, well, well." "Right on the dot." "Are you always this prompt?" "Yes." "I'm just a machine." "Good." "I love to tinker with machinery." "I had a couple of hours off, and i remembered your kind invitation." "I thought i'd drop in and see all you colorful folk of the world of fisticuffs in action." "Sort of research, huh?" "In a manner of speaking." "You're just in time for a nice hot cup of rubbing alcohol and crumpets." "Miss leighton, this is, as if you didn't know, kid mariacchi." "How do you do?" "Hello." "Ok, kid, get dressed." "You'll be great tonight." "And lefty louie." "Delighted." "Butch mcsween." "Charmed." "Boys, miss leighton." "Pleased to meet you." "Hello." "Miss leighton is here to do some research."

"I'm in danger of believing that look on your face." "You know, 10 years ago, i told myself i'd never let this happen again." "And then" "oh!" "That's nothing, darling." "It's only the car." "No, it isn't." "Remember?" "It's my own invention... exploding in my face." "How's he coming, swenson?" "Fine, mr." "Fielding." "I'll have him shipshape in half an hour." "Good."

"Boys, this reception is also being given to you by millions of people sitting in their homes all over the country," "and i know that just like me, they are all feeling a wee bit misty." "Bless you." "Oh, look." "Little angelo is blushing." "Bless him." "Isn't this wonderful?" "Isn't this a great surprise?" "It certainly is for me, though i think i was about to be tipped off." "This is why you spent every minute of the day with me." "I should have smelled a rat." "Hey, connie, if you're watching, nothing happened!" "Ha ha ha!" "Connie, ladies and gentlemen, is little angle's wife, who is watching the show from schenectady." "And this is douglas hallerton, everyone, who knew nothing about it, even though he is one of our own executive vice presidents" "from chicago." "Now, really, doug, isn't this a great moment for you, being the surprise guest on one of your own shows?" "Madeline, sincerely, i deserve every bit of it." "It's truly a fitting climax to 10 years of self-degradation, and if anyone interested is watching, i know what she meant, change-wise, that is." "Uh, yes, yours is a true success story, doug." "But not all of us can reach the top, ladies and gentlemen." "Some of us sometimes need a helping hand." "Take mr." "Valentine, for instance." "Now, mr." "Valentine is a sweet, simple person, one of the vast army of little gray men who struggle along from day to day, gallantly making ends meet." "Angie, we are going to give you, absolutely free, a klenzrite washing machine plus a 5-year supply of fishmayer's non-scuffle shoes for your poor, dear little kiddies." "Bless you." "Here is your klenzrite guarantee and mr." "Fishmayer's personal certificate." "Thanks a lot... but no, thanks." "I'm not looking for any handouts, and i'm not one of any vast army of little gray men." "I'm doing all right, and i can take care of my own family." "Thank you." "Isn't that wonderful, ladies and gentlemen?" "And you, mr." "Riley." "I understand that you are engaged in the glamorous world of sports." "Tell us about yourself, won't you?" "There's nothing to tell." "I'm a bum." "Hmm?" "A bum." "You know, a small-time operator." "I'm mixed up with some of the shadiest characters in town." "As a matter of fact, knowing the inspiring, uplifting work you do on this program, i feel terrible about showing my face in decent homes all over the country." "Boys, don't be like me." "Live clean." "Use klenzrite." "Uh, why, thank you." "And now tell us about your glorious reunion." "The three of you walked into tim's bar- look, madeline, i'd like to help you out and give you all the phony sentiment and corn you want, but i'm afraid i'll have to disappoint you." "When the three of us met today in tim's bar for the big moment, it was horrible." "The years had- the years had made us strangers." "We-we hated one another." "I know now why i hated them." "It's because i hated myself." "But i'm glad it happened because i'd like the guys to know that whatever they think of me, i don't blame them, and i'd give several arms and legs to win their friendship and respect again." "I'll try and spend the next 10 years winning it back." "Good night, madeline." "It's been swell." "Uh- and now, ladies and gentlemen, the klenzrite cakewalkers." "Hello, riley." "Charlie culloran." "Hi, rocky." "Dirty crook." "Ted:" "I'm sorry you feel that way, rocky." "Charlie:" "We hate to interrupt your evening of nightclubbing- nightclubbing?" "Why, this- oh, yeah?" "Yeah, but we'd like to have you come along with us." "To your house for that chicken dumpling dinner?" "Ted, i'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy a chicken dumpling dinner for 3 or 4 years." "Cover ted riley with number 3 camera." "Get that mike down closer and keep it there!" "Maybe after 5 or 6 months, you can take a little clear broth." "Oh, really?" "I'm afraid so." "Well, why this attitude, charlie?" "Of course you know, ted, there was no fight tonight." "When the kid regained consciousness, he told us how you'd knocked him out." "When charlie culloran fixes a fix, he wants it to stay fixed." "What was that, charlie?" "I say when i fix them, i want them to stay fixed." "Oh, fixed?" "Oh." "Thank you very much." "Yes." "Well, i can understand that, charlie." "Pride in one's work and all." "Ted:" "I kind of felt that tonight, too." "I was a little annoyed at the kid for wanting to throw the fight after all the hard work i had done with him, so i thought the best thing to do was to incapacitate him and prevent the fight from going on." "Of course, if it was just a matter of me being upset, i'd forget about it, but there are several other gentlemen involved, and they'd like to have a little chat with you." "Who could they be?" "Barney gaber, larry treadman, zeb o'flair- barney, larry, zeb?" "They're all in on the, uh, fix?" "Yes, and i think it would be a little rude to keep them waiting." "I have a couple of boys here to escort us out." "Say, charlie, have you ever been on tv?" "What?" "Have you ever been on tv?" "You know, you got a beautiful full face, but let's see your profile." "The profile is very important for love scenes and so forth." "That's very, very nice." "Rocky, don't you think charlie would be good on tv?" "To tell you the truth, i never thought about it before, but up on the screen, there's an actor there who ain't no prettier than charlie." "If i didn't want to be deemed crazy, i'd say it was charlie." "What are you talking about?" "Yes, charlie, you're on television." "You've just given a nice, clear statement before about 60 million people." "Why, you" "ted, you all right?" "Doug:" "Angie, cover me!" "Ready on the right." "Ready on the left." "Ready in the firing line." "Charge!" "Charge!" "Ted:" "Bombs away!" "Hit the dirt!" "Yay!" "Yay!" "Yay!" "Fire one!" "I'm coming, angie!" "Hey, look." "Let's get out of here before they ask a lot of questions." "Ladies and gentlemen, your madeline has done it again." "You have witnessed not only the reunion of the 3 ex-g.i. S, but also our additional surprise guest, charles z." "Culloran, notorious racketeer and gambler, making a spontaneous and unrehearsed confession which will doubtless send him up the river for 50 or 60 years!" "All this on our weekly human-interest featurette, the throb of manhattan." "March, march, march, april, may, june june, june, june, july and august, september sept, sept, september, october- what happened to the rover boys?" "We've been on television." "Come on, tim." "Set 'em up." "Sure got to hand it to you guys." "10 years, and the same old pals." "Nothing changed." "Ha ha ha!" "Tim, we love you." "You got a sharp eye." "Hello, dorothy?" "It's me-doug." "I just wanted to tell- what?" "Oh, you saw the program?" "Oh, you do?" "Yeah, well, so do i." "Listen, darling, i don't know how you stood me up till now." "Yes, i am." "But now i've got a chance to show you- listen, dot, i know we can make it." "Yeah." "L- well, i... i can't say any more right now." "Just- i love you." "Bye." "To dorothy." "Dorothy." "And one for connie and the kids." "And the cordon bleu." "No." "No more cordon bleu." "From now on, it's just going to be plain "angie and connie's roadside diner."" "Well... hey, i remember old bootsie." "The kid from the south that was always tripping all over himself?" "Sure." "His name was george something-or-other." "Bootsie." "Brown?" "No, no." "George barry." "Barry!" "That's it!" "We were always toasting him." "It was good luck or something." "Why?" "I don't know." "I remember." "When we landed at anzio on the beachhead, he fell over his big feet and fell flat on his face." "We followed him down." "We thought it was orders." "The machine guns opened up to let us have it, but we were down flat." "That's right." "That idiot saved our lives." "Gee." "Old bootsie." "Bootsie." "Bootsie." "Hey, you remember corporal zimmerman?" "Corporal zimmerman!" "All right, all right!" "One more, and that's all." "I got a license here, remember?" "It's closing time." "It's late." "We all got homes to go to." "Pay up, and let's go." "Let's see." "That'll be 4 bucks even." "I got it." "I got it." "Hey, hey!" "Wait a minute." "The safe!" "The safe." "The safe." "There it is." "4 even." "4 bucks." "Tim, that about wraps it up." "Jackie:" "Not quite." "There's a little unfinished business." "I think everything's going to be all right with you, too, ted." "What do you think, angie?" "Vote for riley." "Tim:" "Though the time has come for parting and the marching music ends no matter where our lives may lead us" "in our hearts, we'll still be friends though the time has come for parting" "and the future lies unknown although the years may come between us" "we will never feel alone" "chorus:" "For friends we are now and friends we'll stay" "until we meet again" "one wonderful day" "let a million miles divide us let the years go rolling by" "although the time has come for parting" "we'll be friends until we die" "captioning made possible by turner entertainment group"
