01:55.280 --> 01:56.560
you'll recognize

01:56.560 --> 01:59.160
because for four consecutive weeks

01:59.160 --> 02:02.800
he sat in the audience next to the celebrity

02:02.800 --> 02:09.800
who was introduced by ed sullivan

02:32.160 --> 02:34.320
you must go

02:34.320 --> 02:37.560
you know i always thought that those narrators

02:37.560 --> 02:40.720
narrate the travelogues i always thought that they exaggerate but

02:40.720 --> 02:43.600
really don't they don't it's such a beautiful place

02:43.600 --> 02:46.160
the matter of fact the hawaiian islands

02:46.160 --> 02:47.960
are really the

02:47.960 --> 02:50.840
the the tropical

02:50.840 --> 02:53.640
of in fact

02:53.640 --> 02:56.480
yes the tropical islands of enchantment

02:56.480 --> 02:58.400
the paradise of the pacific

02:58.400 --> 02:59.880
how about you

02:59.880 --> 03:04.680
the city of honolulu rising among regal palms on the curve of waikiki beach

03:04.680 --> 03:08.280
the splendor of the royal hawaiian hotel and in the background

03:08.280 --> 03:09.480
diamond head

03:09.480 --> 03:13.160
wearing a majestic crown of fleecy clouds held in place by the gentle

03:13.160 --> 03:15.340
pressure of the trade winds

03:15.340 --> 03:19.520
but out of this dream our visitors are abruptly brought back to reality

03:19.520 --> 03:23.200
by the realization that their vacation has come to an end

03:23.200 --> 03:26.100
but even the farewell is something to remember

03:26.100 --> 03:29.320
hawaii's heartwarming aloha

03:29.320 --> 03:33.600
as the luxurious queen of the pacific the lorleen prepares to sail

03:33.600 --> 03:34.760
there is music

03:34.760 --> 03:37.920
flowers and tumultuous gaiety

03:37.920 --> 03:39.240
and here on the dock

03:39.240 --> 03:43.320
is where one of the most colorful ceremonies of the island takes place

03:43.320 --> 03:45.560
the presentation of the legs

03:45.560 --> 03:49.600
this is an old custom by which the natives express their feelings toward

03:49.600 --> 03:51.400
the departing visitors

03:51.400 --> 03:53.360
first is the orchid leg

03:53.360 --> 04:00.360
presented to those who have made friends while on the island

04:00.480 --> 04:02.400
next comes the plumeria blossom

04:02.400 --> 04:07.160
this token when presented to a traveler expresses the sincere wish

04:07.160 --> 04:12.080
that soon he will return again

04:12.080 --> 04:13.120
yes

04:13.120 --> 04:17.720
nobody leaves the island without the adornment of at least one flowery

04:17.720 --> 04:18.760
memento

04:18.760 --> 04:23.520
or even the lei made of the common ordinary ginger blossom

04:23.520 --> 04:27.280
is presented by the native shopkeepers to all those who have come into their

04:27.280 --> 04:28.400
stores

04:28.400 --> 04:35.400
and spent a little money

04:36.680 --> 04:37.700
uh oh

04:37.700 --> 04:41.360
is one of our departing visitors being neglected

04:41.360 --> 04:44.880
can it be possible that of all those people with whom he

04:44.880 --> 04:46.280
frolicked away those

04:46.280 --> 04:48.560
carefree hours at Waikiki

04:48.560 --> 04:53.280
not one of them remembered to present him with the island's most treasured

04:53.280 --> 04:54.320
ah

04:54.320 --> 05:01.320
here comes someone to correct this oversight

05:06.040 --> 05:08.960
there's a whistle and rochester isn't here yet

05:08.960 --> 05:15.960
i wonder what's keeping him

05:21.360 --> 05:23.840

05:23.840 --> 05:27.720
look look boss do we have to leave now of course we have to leave now why are you

05:27.720 --> 05:29.120

05:29.120 --> 05:32.720

05:32.720 --> 05:36.600

05:36.600 --> 05:38.840
i know what it is

05:38.840 --> 05:41.240
and anyway why were you a special guest

05:41.240 --> 05:44.520

05:44.520 --> 05:48.480
central avenue social and ukulele club

05:48.480 --> 05:51.720
i know but you still could have left early enough to bring your own luggage

05:51.720 --> 05:54.680
i couldn't help it they wouldn't let me leave until we drank a toast to king

05:54.680 --> 05:56.680
kamehameha the first

05:56.680 --> 06:01.360
king kamehameha the first then we drank a toast to king kamehameha the second

06:01.360 --> 06:04.520
then i proposed a toast to king kamehameha the third

06:04.520 --> 06:08.960
which led to a toast to king kamehameha the fourth

06:08.960 --> 06:12.880
then they insisted that i drink a toast to king kamehameha the fifth

06:12.880 --> 06:14.560

06:14.560 --> 06:21.560

06:49.160 --> 06:50.400

the luxurious queen of the pacific philoreline

07:29.760 --> 07:32.960
reluctantly sails from honolulu harbor

07:32.960 --> 07:36.160

07:36.160 --> 07:36.760
we bid

07:36.760 --> 07:39.040
fond farewell to hawaii

17:28.820 --> 17:29.780
i just can't

17:29.780 --> 17:32.180

just the both of us here all alone

17:34.900 --> 17:37.540
on the loralee

17:37.540 --> 17:40.980
yes jack, i never dreamed it could happen to i

17:40.980 --> 17:47.980
neither did me

17:49.220 --> 17:50.660
marylin

17:50.660 --> 17:51.460
why

17:51.460 --> 17:53.420

i was just thinking jack

how generous you are

17:57.620 --> 18:00.020
just so we could be alone on this trip

18:00.020 --> 18:03.920
you chartered the loralee for six hundred thousand dollars

18:03.920 --> 18:06.740
i did?

18:06.740 --> 18:13.740
if that doesn't wake him up, nothing will

18:13.740 --> 18:17.180
marylin i know this is sudden

18:17.180 --> 18:18.300
but will you

18:18.300 --> 18:22.380
will you marry me?

18:22.380 --> 18:23.540
mary, but look at the difference

18:23.540 --> 18:25.420
difference in our ages

18:25.420 --> 18:28.140
well there isn't much difference marylin

18:28.140 --> 18:29.980
you're twenty five

18:29.980 --> 18:32.900
i'm thirty nine

18:32.900 --> 18:34.980
yes, but what about twenty five years from now

18:34.980 --> 18:41.540
when i'm fifty and you're thirty nine

18:41.540 --> 18:43.300
i never thought of that

18:43.300 --> 18:44.500
i did

18:44.500 --> 18:51.500

18:52.460 --> 18:54.140

19:57.380 --> 20:00.380

20:00.380 --> 20:07.380
bye

20:09.860 --> 20:11.500
that's strange

20:11.500 --> 20:12.500
what's strange?

20:12.500 --> 20:16.900
i'm so crazy about you, but that kiss didn't affect me at all

20:16.900 --> 20:18.260
that's funny

20:18.260 --> 20:23.660
i'm a wreck

20:23.660 --> 20:25.980
uh... don't forget

20:25.980 --> 20:27.580
marylin

20:27.580 --> 20:30.220

20:30.220 --> 20:31.860
at eight o'clock

20:31.860 --> 20:34.860
i'll remember

20:34.860 --> 20:36.540
marylin, come back here a minute

20:36.540 --> 20:39.380
please come back

20:39.380 --> 20:46.380
give me one more kiss before you go

20:52.060 --> 20:53.740
hey, wait a minute

20:53.740 --> 20:56.380
you're not marylin monroe

20:56.380 --> 21:03.380
well, you ain't no werewolf flint

21:03.900 --> 21:06.460
i was so sure i was

21:06.460 --> 21:08.940
talking to marylin monroe

21:08.940 --> 21:10.260
ah yes

21:10.260 --> 21:17.020
the sea plays many mental tricks as you're gently lulled in the cradle of tranquility

21:17.020 --> 21:19.860
but there's nothing as soothing and restful

21:19.860 --> 21:22.060
as a pacific cruise back

21:22.060 --> 21:29.060
from the tropical islands of enchantment

21:29.060 --> 21:36.060
thank you

21:37.740 --> 21:39.260
marylin uh...

21:39.260 --> 21:41.140
this is your first

21:41.140 --> 21:43.060
first appearance in television isn't it?

21:43.060 --> 21:44.860
yes it is jack

21:44.860 --> 21:48.020
well i'm quite flattered that you made your first appearance on my show

21:48.020 --> 21:49.220
i really am

21:49.220 --> 21:50.700
just wonderful to have you

21:50.700 --> 21:54.780
uh... is uh... have you a picture that's coming out pretty soon a new picture

21:54.780 --> 21:57.420
i mean we've seen gentleman prefer blonds another one new one

21:57.420 --> 22:00.860
yes it's called how to marry a millionaire it's also in cinemascope

22:00.860 --> 22:02.900
oh it is in cinemascope too

22:02.900 --> 22:08.860
you know i uh... i made a picture once

22:08.860 --> 22:12.020
the horn blows at midnight

22:12.020 --> 22:15.740
and i believe if that had been made in cinemascope it would have been a huge

22:15.740 --> 22:16.900
success

22:16.900 --> 22:19.940
well you know cinemascope is very complicated

22:19.940 --> 22:24.880
in order to put the big screen in all the theaters they have to take out a lot of seats

22:24.880 --> 22:30.940
well in my picture they could have taken out all of the seats

22:30.940 --> 22:35.060
jack i don't know why you're always panning the horn blows at midnight i saw it

22:35.060 --> 22:35.860
you did?

22:35.860 --> 22:37.620
yes and you don't know why i'm panning it?

22:37.620 --> 22:38.780
did you like it?

22:38.780 --> 22:43.140
no

22:43.140 --> 22:46.500
well thanks ever so

22:46.500 --> 22:53.500
goodbye maryland

22:56.140 --> 22:59.580
you know ladies and gentlemen i'm really quite quite flattered i feel highly

22:59.580 --> 23:03.540
honored that i was able to have miss monroe for my first show and i do want to

23:03.540 --> 23:06.180
thank twentieth century fox so much

23:06.180 --> 23:10.220
of course another thing that thrilled me today because i also opened my radio

23:10.220 --> 23:11.380

23:16.540 --> 23:21.900
uh... there's dennis and mary and uh... don wilson and rochester everybody

23:21.900 --> 23:23.700
but phil harris

23:23.700 --> 23:27.460
funny thing phil harris hasn't been with me for two years

23:27.460 --> 23:28.620
and i still

23:28.620 --> 23:34.500
don't dare light a match in the studio

23:34.500 --> 23:37.100
but i love radio

23:37.100 --> 23:39.180
am i through?

23:39.180 --> 23:41.300
is that all i get?

23:41.300 --> 23:48.300
