McLaughlin calling Victor Aircraft.

McLaughlin calling Victor Aircraft.

Victor Aircraft to McLaughlin.

Victor Aircraft to McLaughlin. Go ahead.

Okay, going up. Temp floor.

Ladies lingerie. Mousetrap. Hot water bottles.

He says he's in an elevator and he's going up.

Sounds like breezy, all right.

Best test pilot in the country. Bar none.

Okay, this is it.

There he goes.

Okay, I'm coming in.

Sure will seem funny around here without old Breezy.

I'm surprised you're letting him go, Mr. Glenby.

Can't you tell the army we need him here?

That's just what I did.

They won't commission him. He'll be a disappointed boy.

And a mad one. Don't I know.

And I'm ducking. Now, if Breezy asks for me, you tell him that I've left. Tell

him you don't know where to reach me. I want to give him time to cool off.

Bugs in her, Breezy? None but me.

She's plenty okay.

Well, how about her? How about her? She climbs like a homesick angel. How's she

handle, Breezy? Like satin. I'm glad my last test job was in a plane like her.

Oh, and how will Victory Aircraft get along without you, Breezy? Plenty okay.

I've missed enough of this war as it is.

And something tells me the good news is on its way. You got it? Yes, sir. Right

here. Come to me. Give it to Papa.

War Department official business. Hey, what do you bet? Kelly Field or Santa

Ana?

Well, what's the matter, Breezy?

The War Department having been informed by Mr. Curtis Lindby, Vice President of

Victory Aircraft, that the services of Brown, Beale and Gloucester are

to... Where's Lindby? I don't know. Hey, where's Lindby? He left. Left for

where? Well, he didn't say.

Our commissioner then runs out on me.

He'll talk to me if it takes all... Hello, this is Breezy McLaughlin. Is

being in?

Well, you tell your boss that I'll be on his tail from now until this war is

over, so it won't do any good for him to play hide -and -seek with me.

Now, you write this down.

From now until six, I'll be at the elite Turkish bath.

Yeah. And from six until nine, I'll be home writing to the war department.

And from nine on, I'll be at the propeller club.

Do you have him call me?

Canines. Curly and his canines.

Assisted by the cutest little pet of them all, Miss Maisie Revere.

What happened with you dogs? Did you bring along a guest artist here tonight?

Hello? Hello? I don't care how busy he is. I want to talk to him.

This is Breezy.

Breezy McLaughlin.

I know he's tied up, but he'll be more tied up before I get through with him.

Yeah. Put him on so I can tell him off.

Lindy? This is Breezy.

What's the big idea of querying my commission?

Yeah, I know, I know. You told me I was essential, but... I don't care who tests

your planes. Test them yourself. All I know is there's a war going on.

but I'm going to do it. Important job or not, I'm joining the Army Air Force,

and you know nobody else can stop me.

So make up your mind.

Well, I've made up mine.

Listen, mister, this isn't a party line. Stop it, will you? You're crapping our

ass. Take that flea -bitten mutt and get out of my way. I've got troubles

enough. Flea -bitten mutt?

Well, at least he can be let out without a muzzle, which is more than I can say

for some people.

considers the employment of dogs in a restaurant a violation of the sanitary

code.

However, since Mr. McLaughlin has agreed to assist Horatio Curley to obtain work

at the Victory Aircraft Corporation, and since Horatio Curley has agreed to

contribute the services of his dogs to the United States Army... Well, pardon

for interrupting, Your Honor, but you do understand about Butch? Butch?

Yeah, Butch.

Like I told you, in seven years he's only learned this one trick, see?

dead. And I'm more than certain the army put him in 4F.

But I'll look after him since Curly says I can keep him and he won't want for

anything. Oh, very well, very well.

All the dogs to go to the army, with this one exception.

In view of all these facts, case dismissed.

Well, so long, Curly, honey. I'll keep in touch with you. Sure, Maisie. I'll be

seeing you and Butch real soon. Yeah.

you a note to feed us an open personnel.

No, I'll take you over myself. He's a good friend of mine. Get you in the same

right away. Well, thanks a lot, Mr.

McLaughlin. Gee, I appreciate this.

But I was wondering about Maisie.

What about her? Well, you see, she joined up with me in the act so she

come out to the coast. Okay, so she got out here. But she had in mind maybe to

get on a defense plan. So I was thinking if you'd put in a good word for her.

Wait a minute, Curly.

If I get the drift, you've been asking for a job for me. Well, it was just that

Mr. McLaughlin here seems to have an in. Well, the in's out when it comes

through Mr.

McLaughlin or anybody like him.

That's fine, then. What does a dame like you know about defense work anyhow?

Listen, brother, I've been doing defense work of one kind or another all my

life. I'll make out.

I don't doubt that.

Eight hours a day, six days a week. Ha, ha. Ha, ha.

Well, what do you think show business is, pray tell?

Well, throwing your hips around is no training for pectoral work.

Why, you'd let a hot rivet drop while you repaired your paint job or re

your hair.

Listen, I tell you my... No, I know. It's natural.

No goldilocks in an aircraft factory, you'd be just so much excess baggage.

You're not the type.

Not the type, huh?

Well, it's going to take all types to win this war from General MacArthur way

down to you.

And I'll get in it, and I don't need no introduction from you, nor none of your

ilk. He's my Uncle Sam, too, you know.

And as for how I'm dressed... I wear what suits the job I'm doing and make up

proportion. And I'll handle myself in the factory just as good as on the

If you can fly planes, then, brother, I can build them.

And I won't drop anything, either.

I'm going to get to this person. Attention, please. Will all those

cards kindly report to room 317 in the main building at once?

Step lively, please.

Green card holders, kindly follow me. Green card holders only. This way,

Oh, but you have a red card.

Your application will have to be gone over. Will you kindly take your place at

the end of the line, please? End of the line? I was just there. I belong here.

Oh, I'm sorry. You'll have to get in line and wait your turn. I did belong

but somebody took my place. You can't do that. Now, you'll have to wait your

turn like everybody else. Now, go to the end of the line, please.

Just stay in line, please.

Well, from nuts to soup, so to speak.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Yep. Mm -hmm.

Local address.

Mm -hmm. I mean, mm -mm.

I haven't hunted up a place to live yet.

Do it and report it before beginning work, please.

You mean I'm in?

It says here you passed the test.

Would you like to start on the swing shift tomorrow?

Oh, gosh, would I?

That's fine. Now, if you'll hand me your birth certificate.

Birth certificate.

Oh, well, I haven't got one.

Mr. Peterson.

Yes? Meet Miss Rivera.

No birth. No birth, huh?

Next, please.

I'm afraid without a birth certificate, we'll have to... Well, you can see I was

born. There's not much doubt it was in Brooklyn.

Yes, I know, but the plant requires a more legal record.

Now, how about a school diploma?

A baptismal certificate, that would do. If you don't have them here, you could

send for them and start to work in a week or so when they arrive.

Oh, but I've got to get to work right away.

And besides, once I had a chance to go to Rio de Janeiro in a flash act with

Bill and then the sequin drop.

It fell through subsequently because we couldn't find any record then for my

passport. Or maybe an old friend, someone who's known you since childhood.

could make out an affidavit.

Well, you wouldn't just take my word for it? No, it has to be legal.

Well, I'd swear on anything you like.

I'm awfully sorry.

Well, don't you go away, Mr. Peterson.

I'll be right back. Would you mind... No, I guess I'd better go.

Well,

thanks a million, Mr.

McLaughlin. You know, I feel just like one of my dogs after he finishes a good

trip. I'm sure glad.

It's okay, old timer. Good luck. You know, I get a bigger kick out of helping

somebody get a job around here than I do testing planes.

Yeah? Oh, hello, Goldilocks.

They hired me on. No trouble at all. Mr. McLaughlin here told me where to go.

Oh, he told you where to go, huh?

Well, I'd like to return that favor.

Curly, can I see you a second?

Not so good, huh?

Oh, you think they turned me down? Mm -hmm. Well, you just stay here about ten

minutes and you'll see how they turned me down.

Here.

When I come back, I'll have a badge right here.

Maybe that'll convince you.

You septic.

Turn me.

tell him, but things aren't so good.

That Peterson character says I could have a birth certificate.

Oh, yes, they require it.

Yeah, but something went wrong, you see.

My folks never signed me up.

I guess in our family, one more kid wasn't anything to write the mayor

Oh, that's too bad.

But, Curly, if I could get somebody to swear that they knew me since I was born

or the next thing to it, why... Oh, Curly, I know it's asking an awful lot,

would you?

I don't think I've got a right to do that, Maisie. You see, after all, I've

known you for two months.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

I had no business asking.

Well, I guess I'll have to turn me into Los Angeles and get myself a job lined

up. Wait a minute, Maisie.

Maybe it's okay at that.

I don't know you long, but I know you're good.

No, Curly, you'd be swearing to a lie.

No, but look at it this way.

You know there are darn few people that'd follow a dog act clear across the

country to get to work in a defense plant.

And then to be kept from doing your part on a technical... technical cality, so

to speak. Yeah.

Well, I guess it can't be helped.

Sure it can, Maisie. And I'll go right in with you now and do that swear.

Oh, Curly.

No, I don't think you ought to.

Well, that's for me to say, and I say it's all right. Oh, Curly.

Hey!

Is that your eldest, Breezy?

It sure favors you.

Oh, I don't blame you.

It's a cute little package.

I only hope you know what you're doing.

Anytime they let you mind the dog, look out.

Well, thanks for the interest in my case, but I can hold my own. Okay, okay.

My wife started me off by holding the coat.

I ended up by holding the bag.

Ain't funny, Clarence.

Okay, okay, I guess you win.

Congratulations. The drink's around me.

Well, I gotta be going. I guess you folks have something you want to talk

Thanks again, Mr. McLaughlin. See you tomorrow, Maisie. Oh, no, Curly, I'm

going. How about that drink?

I don't drink, thanks, so much.

You know, your hands are gonna get tired from holding that grudge.

Okay, okay, so I was a pain in the neck. You were more than just a twinge

yourself. How about some food?

Mm -mm, I gotta get a place to sleep.

I'm in a trance right now, and the next thing to it, I'm so tired.

Then let's get started.

You said you wanted a place to sleep.

Yeah.

But there's some things you gotta get straight in your mind right now, mister.

Come on, you talk too much.

Come on in.

The bedroom's in here.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is your place.

Sure, it's my place. You said you had to have some sleep, didn't you?

You can't find a room near the factory just by stumbling up the steps, you

Yeah, but I can only fight one war at a time.

Meaning what?

Just give me my bag, bud.

Oh, I get it.

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, sister, but I don't have any designs on

Until you can find a place of your own, you'll need a bed and some sleep. You

can have the loan of mine, with no offensive action contemplated.

Well, thanks.

The way things break mostly for a girl like me, the one thing you're not

prepared for is a hundred percent good guy.

Apology accepted?

Sure. Come on.

Say, I got an angle on a room for you. A fellow of mine, Jake Johnson, pulls out

for Santa Ana tonight.

And if Marlis Fogle hasn't already rented it, maybe you can get his room.

That sounds swell.

Well, there's some clean towels. If you need anything, holler. I'll be in the

next room.

Okay. Oh, cute, isn't she?

Yeah.

That's the, uh, kid's sister.

Oh.

Well, she is cute.

Well, sweet dreams, yellowhead.

Thanks. After you've had some rest, you and I are going to have a long talk.

Well, what do you know, Butch?

Wait till you see, Ma.

She's really a character.

Hello. Hello.

Well, if it's the room you're hunting, dear, I don't have a one in the house

vacant. I'm sorry.

Oh, but Miss McLaughlin here... Oh, Ma!

Hey,

how's my honey lamb? Oh, just fine. How's my big boy? Good.

Say, have you been true to me?

He keeps kidding, but I love him.

Say, Ma, I was thinking about Jake's room for her.

Well, now that... Rumor Jake, strictly speaking, is a double at the least. I

rented it to him as a single on account of his moving in before the war even.

But now Gurley here, maybe she could find some congenial party who'd like to

shares with her. And being she's your lady friend... Oh, she's not my lady

friend. You're my one and only.

Give me a caution, though. What hours are you working, honey?

At the swing shed. Well, that ought to come out just right.

Myrtle!

Yes, Miss Lasvogel? Fix it up 210, will you?

Yes, ma 'am.

She's a good kid, Ma. And working these screwy hours is going to be plenty tough

on her first. And I want you to see that she gets plenty of rest and good food.

Understand? Oh, sure.

I'll take care of her like she was my own daughter.

Wherever she is.

Take it easy, Ma. Don't work too hard.

Oh, good old Ma.

She's been working 26 hours a day ever since this war started.

And say, if any of the guys around this joint try any funny stuff, you just go

to Ma.

Yes, Grandpa.

Grandpa?

What's the gag?

Well, I've been breaking holes and standing off commando raids since I was

Now, suddenly, I've got a guardian.

Well, is that bad?

It's good.

Okay, Maisie. I'll see you tomorrow after work about 1 o 'clock.

Oh. Well, I haven't got any choice about this date, huh?

Well, I'll let you choose between 1 and 1 .15. I'll make it 1.

Good night.

is Miss Revere. This is your lead woman, Miss Grogan. I'll leave you with her

now. She'll show you what to do.

Please meet you.

Likewise. Pardon my glove.

Pardon mine.

Okay, boys, back to work.

We got a figure to meet. Yeah, how about introducing us, huh?

I am at present only interested in meeting up with my work, thank you.

Yeah, honey, but you better change into some other duds or we'll be missing out

on a lot of man hours.

Haven't you got something less showy?

Well, there's some rehearsal rompers I got home.

Rehearsal rompers?

You better leave them at home.

Here's a key. Go down to the locker and get yourself some temporary attirement.

Better hurry, though. You've been holding up the production line long

Thanks a lot.

I'll only be a minute, and you'll see how plain I can be.

There'll be hardly a person in the place they don't know.

I'll be right back.

Yeah, I know. Lover, you want to go out? Will you have to go out by yourself

tonight? I'm too busy. I've got a date. I left the front door open for you. Go

on.

No, but you're outside.

Go on, dear.

Hey, that's gas.

What's the matter, honey?

Go away.

Oh, come on. Now, things can't be that tough. You've got to get up.

Who are you, anyway? Please go away. I know what I'm doing. Yeah, I know what

you're doing, too, and you've got no business trying it. Not with a face like

you've got.

Come on across the hall to my room.

But that's Jake Johnson's room. It was. I moved in last night.

Oh, you did? Yeah. My name's Maisie Revere.

Can you walk okay?

All right.

Thank you, dear.

Come on.

Just stretch out here.

You'll feel a lot better in a couple of minutes.

There. Okay, Butchie, you're a good boy. Clear outside now.

Oh, I think I'll leave this open for a little air.

Sniff of smelling salts.

Thank you.

Help out?

You're awfully kind.

Well, that's okay.

But you'll have to pardon me while I get ready for my date.

Everything I try to do goes wrong.

What's the matter?

Make a try at the movies and flop?

How did you know?

Oh, just a guess.

Hey, you came back awful quick.

Oh, if anybody sticks his nose in, just throw a shoe at him, will you? This is

the only closet I got.

You know, there's plenty of ways of earning a living besides acting in

I won a beauty contest back home.

Everyone in Abilene came down to see me off.

It was in all the Texas papers.

And now... I can't go back home, that's all.

I won't. Well, don't. Get yourself a ward job out here.

I've never done factory work.

Me either, sister, but I'm doing it now.

Why don't you go out to Victory Aircraft in the a .m.? They'll hire you like

that.

Breezy's here, girly. Oh, thanks, Ma. Tell him I'll be right down. Zip me up,

will you? Well, now, say, things certainly turned out lovely.

I've been hoping you two girls would get together. You know, I'd have had to

double you both up.

And now you've doubled up on your own. Well, that's swell.

I'll tell Breezy, huh?

But, Ma...

You don't want to do it.

And why should you? I told you I'm broke.

Don't worry.

You won't have to.

Well, I've got to take somebody in.

Someone who can pay her a half.

Yeah, but if you've got this job, you could pay.

If.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Say, what's your name, anyhow?

Iris. Iris Reed.

Iris. Well, okay, Iris. I'm going out now, and I'm liable to be late, I hope.

But you're perfectly welcome to stay here.

Tonight, anyhow.

Don't worry about me.

Did you eat today?

It doesn't matter.

It certainly does matter. That's probably what's wrong with you.

Here.

Take this and go out and buy yourself a square meal.

Come on.

Thanks all the same.

Maisie.

Have a wonderful time.

If there were more people like you in the world, things might have been

different. Oh, now, wait.

Wait.

Come on. Sit over here.

Come on.

Now, you stay there.

You stay there, and I'll be right back.

Breezy.

Well, it's about time.

Breezy, there's this pal of mine. See, Iris Reed.

And she's kind of down because of circumstances. And I was wondering,

be all right if we took her along with us? What? Another girl on our first

Come on, grow up, Brooklyn. I wouldn't take any two dames if the other one was

queen of Sheba.

Yeah, I know. And a million times sooner it was just the two of us, but...

Listen, honey child.

The idea was you and me.

Understand?

Well, okay, Maisie.

But I'll have to go upstairs to see that she's all right.

Maisie!

Maisie, I hope you're not mixing up your plans on account of me.

It's all right.

Oh, no, honey, we was just leaving.

Goodbye, Maisie, and thanks.

Oh, I'd better see if she's okay.

Oh, and Breezy, could I bring Butch along? He gets awful lonesome being so

to giving the late show.

Well, look, Maisie, I don't like to be a crab.

Why don't you bring your pal along, too? You mean it?

Oh, sure.

She's a friend of yours.

Okay with me. Oh, Breezy, you're a friend.

Iris!

Come on, darling.

Let's see that old championship form.

Championship? I never rolled before in my life.

Oh, there's nothing to it. Let me show you.

That's too heavy.

That's about right. Let's try that one for size.

Now put your little fingers right in there.

Like that?

Yeah, that's it.

Now don't drop it. You'll hurt yourself.

Now, come on, get a nice, easy swing.

That's it.

Right down the middle.

Now, let her go.

That's good, darling. You got one.

Was that really all right?

All right, I'll say. Do you learn everything as fast?

You're a wonderful teacher, Frazee. Listen, you did it all yourself.

I wish you were going to be at the plant in the morning. I'm such a dumb bunny

about machines.

And gee, with all those tests and everything.

Darling, I'll be by for you at nine sharp.

Introduce you to my pal, Joe Peterson.

You know, we got to get you started writing this thing. You will, Paige?

Sure. Are you sure it's not going to be too much trouble?

Trouble? Darling, it's a pleasure.

All right, now come on, let's try again. And hit the pin in the middle this

time. All right.

All right, now, nice and easy.

Okay.

All right, now, let her go.

check room. The manager maintained and no dogs allowed.

Butch was sure burned up. He's been in places they wouldn't even allow the

manager. Well, how you doing, Iron?

Oh, she's doing fine.

Now let's see what you got on the ball. Let me show you. Well, thanks. I think I

know the general hang of it.

Now let me see.

Gee,

are they all that heavy?

Not so heavy. Let's see if we can find a lighter one.

Oh, try that one.

Now remember, start out on your left foot. Listen, I'm starting out on both

feet.

You better step back, kid.

Hey, Maisie, you're all wrong. You're way off balance. You won't get a pin

way.

Just one big happy family.

All of us great and two of us beautiful.

Did you find it?

Not yet.

It must be here somewhere, though.

We all had to have our birth certificates for the beauty contest.

Well, anyway, you know you got one.

Here, let me help you hunt.

If we don't find it, I might as well not go to the plant with Breezy. He said I

had to have it. Yeah, they asked for it, all right.

But still, there's exceptions they make.

What do you mean?

Well, take like in my case.

I got around it by having Curly swear he knew me since I was born, practically.

And he didn't?

Never saw me before last June.

Oh, Maisie, I'd be scared to death to do a thing like that.

If someone found out, what would they do to you?

Oh, fire me, I guess.

Maybe stick me in jail a couple of days till they found out I was a Nazi.

Maybe deport me to Brooklyn.

Gee, I'd be afraid someone would tell on me.

Yeah, they could.

But I know I'm no saboteur.

Figures, should they catch up to me, I'll be a good enough worker by then so

they'll pass over.

Oh, here it is.

Oh, good.

Thanks, Maisie.

Do I look all right?

Well, if you wouldn't mind a friendly little tip, I'd lay off the bracelet.

No bracelet?

Why not?

Well, they don't want any gadgets around the plant, and that's right.

Anything that holds you back from doing a good day's work has got to be out for

the duration.

I went out there done up irregardless, but you ought to see me now.

I'm telling you, I look like a monk.

Iris, Breezy is here.

Coming.

Well, how are the bells and marbles this morning?

Hey, you look pretty sharp today, Brooklyn.

All set, Iris?

Uh -huh.

Scared? Scared to death. Listen, Victor Aircraft should give me a bonus for

bringing him a prize package like you.

Hey, I'll tell you what. Let's all go somewhere tonight and celebrate Iris is

getting a new job. What do you say, Maisie?

Uh -uh.

Three's not only a crowd, but a social error.

Get her. Did you ever hear of two musketeers?

No, sir.

Someday I'm going to tell you what I think of you.

Snub nose.

But don't let it go to your head.

Hey, come on. We've got to see a man about a job.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Snub nose.

Well, you got one, too.

Hello, Dangerous Curse. How you doing?

I'm doing okay.

Detour.

You're new around here, aren't you?

Yeah, I'm new around here.

Certain things are about the same wherever you go.

Look, you want to get ahead fast in this plan?

Sure. Listen, I've been here a long time.

I know every angle.

Funny.

I would have said you only knew one.

Oh, quit it, will you?

I can be plenty of help to a cute little number like you.

What's the two of us tying to a meal when the whistle blows, huh?

Sorry, my girlfriend and I got a date.

Oh, a date with a girlfriend you can always break.

My boyfriend is taking the two of us out.

Uh -oh.

Good evening.

Thanks for your too friendly interest.

Where are you going, miss? Your department is back there.

Yeah, I know, but my girlfriend's working over there, and she just started

tonight, and I wanted to see if she was getting along.

I'm sorry, but I can't let you go into another department.

Well, okay.

Here, you're not following your pattern.

Oh, I couldn't help it. I tried, it's just that... That's okay.

You'll catch on. It's always hard the first day.

Look. There's just a few minutes before quitting time, so why don't you run over

to the restroom and lay down until the whistle blows?

Oh, thanks.

I'm sorry.

Skip it. You'll do fine tomorrow.

Oh, miss.

Yes?

You're new here, aren't you?

Yes, I just started this afternoon.

How you doing?

I'm awfully tired.

Listen, I've been around here a long time.

I know all the angles.

There's more to this kind of work than the work, if you know what I mean.

I could wise you up so you could do yourself some good around here.

Oh, you're awfully kind.

I'd appreciate some advice from someone who knows plants.

You would?

Bless me, beautiful.

Judd's a name.

Judd Evans.

Mine's Iris. Iris Reed.

Iris.

What a name. Just like a rose.

Say, how about stepping out tonight?

We could talk things over.

I couldn't tonight.

Why not?

My girlfriend and I are going out.

Uh -oh.

With your boyfriend by chance?

Mm -hmm. What goes around here? I take vitamin pills. I eat spinach. I smoke

modern design cigarettes.

And what happens?

Won't come some superman and ties up all the eyefuls before I can get to him.

Oh, I'm not much of an eyeful now. All covered with beef.

I knew it's becoming.

Well, I'm going to keep trying until you break down.

For a lovely like you, I'm a gentleman from the word no.

Can we go now?

Uh -huh. Stay by the bell.

Goodbye. Goodbye. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Iris.

Hiya, honey.

How'd it go?

Awful. Awful.

Listen, by this time tomorrow, you won't know yourself.

I just heard they're taking out some girls in the final assembly.

That's where we ought to aim for. You can really feel you're making planes

you work there.

I hope tomorrow's better than today. I don't think I could stand it. Oh, it'll

be better.

Good day's sleep and you bounce back.

You go home right now and hit those feathers. I'll call you around 3 p .m.

But we've got a date with Breezy.

Oh, no, you're too tired to go on any dates.

But Breezy's been so nice, I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Well, you can handle it so as you don't.

Oh, dear, I'm not very good at begging off. What will I say?

Well, tell him your face is folding in on you.

You don't think I don't want to go?

No, I just asked him could he put off the three of us till some other night,

maybe, or whenever he says.

That shows you want to go.

Oh, here he comes now.

Look tired and take a cue from me.

Ah, hello, girls.

Hi, baby. All set for some soft lights and the hot music this morning?

Well, Breezy, it's been a cruel day for Iris, see?

Right now she's so tired she's got to prop up her lids with toothpicks. Yeah,

that's too bad. Yeah, this night's work was strictly murder.

She's a dream walker.

A sombombolist.

Oh, gee, kid, you think you should go out this morning? Oh, sweetie, if she

could shuffle, let alone walk, she'd go. But she's wore out on us.

That's too bad. But maybe after she went home and washed up a bit. Oh, no, look

at those bags under her eyes. She couldn't lift them, let alone unpack

They really beat her down to her socks.

Still are. I guess Maze is right.

We'll make it some other morning, you and I.

If you hurry, Arbus, there's a bus leaving any minute at the corner.

Well, so long, Breezy.

So long, hon. Don't feel too bad. You get some good rest and we'll go out

Hey, how about Thursday morning?

Thursday? Yeah. Sure.

I'll find.

So long.

So long.

Poor kid.

Think we should see that she gets home all right? Oh, she'll find her way.

are we going?

Huh? Oh, anywhere you say. You want to see the late short... Breezy McLaughlin.

Breezy McLaughlin. Call Glenby. One -six -five.

Call Glenby. One -six -five.

One -six -five, please.

Glenby? Breezy?

Oh, but not now.

But Glenby.

I'm sorry, honey, but you heard the master's voice.

Hey, if you run, you can catch the same bus with Iris and see that she gets some

rest, will you?

Sure, baby.

You look kind of tired yourself.

We'll make it some other time.

So long, snub -nub. So long.

Just think, Daisy.

One double date, and then the other night when everything got mixed up and

didn't go out at all.

And then today.

Thursday, the 14th of May. We'll celebrate every Thursday.

And every other day for the next hundred years.

Darling.

But I know what you're going to do.

You'll wake up Macy and tell her all about it.

Well, let's both do it, hmm?

Excuse me. Oh, sure.

Well, looks like we're holding up the day shift.

So long for a while.

See you soon.

Where did you find that get -up? Miss Revere didn't give it to me. Pretty,

it?

You can't work around in those clothes.

I ain't fixing to. This is Thursday.

That's right, Thursday. We got a change of linens in 307, and there's still the

kitchen dishes to do, and that back porch has got to be cleaned up. Miss

Vogel, I would depress me on my one day off. There's an airship factory too

close by, and they's just begging for help. I wonder should I try the

ship.

Graveyard?

Uh -uh, swing.

Wake up, you two.

Hey, it's me, Breezy.

Throw a blanket around you. I'm coming in, ready or not.

Iris, Iris, listen, darling, I got it, I got it. I got my commission.

Oh, Breezy, that's swell.

Breezy. Yeah, when I got home, the letter was there waiting for me. A few

course at Kelly Field, and I'm on my way.

On your way?

Sure, right now, today. The sooner, the better. I got a reservation on the first

plane out.

Maisie, what do you think about it? Old Glenby gave in, and when I saw that

envelope... Breezy, what about us?

Well, darling, don't worry about anything.

Everything's going to be all right. You know that.

Surprise, Maisie?

Well... Well, darling, didn't you tell her about us?

Dear, you know we said we'd tell her together.

Tell me what?

Oh, I guess I guess.

Congratulations. Thanks.

Yep, this wonderful baby's promised to be mine. You know, there's never been 24

hours like this. And it's all thanks to you, snub -nosed.

And to think you had to practically fight with me to take her with us.

Yeah, we certainly never thought in a couple of days you'd be engaged.

Well, I wish you both the best.

Honestly, I do.

But, Breezy, you can't go right away.

A few weeks, darling, just a few weeks, and I'll be right back, and we'll be Mr.

No, we'll be Lieutenant and Mrs. McLaughlin.

Now, come on, darling. None of that stuff.

I'm sorry to be such a baby, but I'm scared.

Oh, come on, darling.

Hey, Maisie, give her the old fight talk, you know. Listen, nothing's going

happen to him.

It's the Japs and Germans better start getting scared.

Oh, sure.

But you listen to Maisie. She knows.

But I'll be lonesome. Promise to a guy like Breezy?

You'll be too busy being proud to be lonesome.

Well, I guess you two got some things to talk over, so I'll go down and see Ma

for a while.

You're the best, Maisie.

When they made you, they broke the mold.

Marius and I are certainly lucky to have a pal like you. How do we, baby?

We certainly are.

Let me down, Maisie.

Take care of my baby for me.

Keep the woes away and the tears out of her big, beautiful eyes.

Stick by her.

Promise? Yeah, sure.

Promise?

Yeah, I promise, Brazy.

Come on, Butchie.

Well, happy landing, fella.

Keep safe.

Nutrition classes.

Ladies' singing society.

Chess and food.

Chess club?

Oh, camera club.

Well, there ought to be something here that interests you.

For instance, what?

Well, nutrition classes, maybe.

I know how to eat.

Now, look, Iris.

I promised Breezy I was going to look out for you while he was gone, and I'm

going to do it no matter what.

The difficulty, caused through the calculations and gauging minuscule

thiosulfate by the general starch iodide method, since the thiosulfate

concentration may be greater in proportion than the relative amount of

water... Come on, let's get out of here.

Shh, it's educational.

To demonstrate these variations, I would like you to accompany me into the dark

room one at a time, thereby educating you on the technique of exposure and

development.

Now, who would like to be...

Would you come

into the dark room with me first, please?

Right here, it gets too educational.

Chess club?

Chess club, this is it.

But, Maisie, can't we find something else to do?

I don't know the first thing about playing chess. Well, you can learn,

you? You never know about anything till you've tried it.

This looks just like the place we've been hunting for.

Well, it's your move, honey.

Uh -uh, it's ours.

Ladies Singing Society.

wish of all present to back up their loved ones and remain true to them in

thought, word, and deed.

We, the undersigned, do hereby band ourselves together in this club to be

as the Ladies in Waiting Club.

Well, I'm sorry, but I think that's a very silly name. I said so at the start,

and I still say so.

Ladies in Waiting.

Ruth, you're out of order. We voted.

Well, okay, but I still think it's a silly name.

Madam Chairman.

What about Maisie Revere joining this club?

She's working as hard as anybody at Victory.

Yeah, that's right, Helen.

I mean, Madam Chairman.

The chair will entertain a motion to include Maisie Revere as a member as

as she's engaged or married to a man in the service, of course. Oh, that's what

I meant.

I mean, just because she isn't tied up now, you can't tell, I mean, when you're

likely to meet someone. Hey, who wants to go on a date?

Remember Fred who used to work in the drugstore?

Well, he's got a friend, and they got paid today.

Who wants to go alone?

don't seem to be aware just what this is.

This just happens to be the meeting of a club to which you supposedly belong,

being engaged just as much as anybody here. Oh, dry up, Helen. I told him I'd

call him right back. Who wants to go along?

Personally, I go on no dates of any kind until Joe gets back, let alone blind

dates. Why don't you quit kidding yourselves? Don't you know this war can

for five years? Sure.

Well, what are you going to do, sit it out here?

Let me tell you, there's some things knitting won't take the place of.

Sure, you'd like to have your husband or your boyfriend. Who wouldn't? Well,

Uncle Sam won't loan them out to you.

I'll bet Ernie's having plenty of fun in Australia right now.

Gee, Ann, how are you going to face him when he comes home? Oh, I'll face him,

okay? And I'll have a better looking face to face him with if I don't mope

around for five years.

Don't say I didn't ask you.

The meeting will please come to order.

And three, we pledge ourselves to write to our husband or intended, as the case

may be, at least three times each week.

Hello, Fred. It's all set, darling. I've got a date for your friend.

Oh, she's a knockout. Wait till you see her.

Oh, yes. We'll be ready on time. Goodbye.

Hello, Maisie.

Hiya.

Where are you going?

Meeting isn't over yet.

I merely wanted to get some more wool.

Oh.

To pull over whose eyes?

Maisie. She's engaged.

Well, for... Remember?

Ta -da!

The Schmidt brothers.

Well, can you imagine?

Am I glad to see you.

Oh, Iris.

Excuse me, boy.

Be sure and get Butch's dinner, will you, huh?

And he's passed you for a combing, too.

But a real good combing. The ears and the beard and everything. So do that,

you, huh?

Oh, sorry, boys.

Come on over and sit down.

How did you find me, anyway?

Curly. Good old Curly.

Are you boys still doing your act?

Ach, no more.

It's no time for a loop.

Acrobats right now is very unessential.

By the way, do you remember Sadie?

Sadie? Oh, yeah, good old Sadie.

Gee, you boys sure used to toss her around.

What a spine.

We used to make like pretzel with her. So twisty.

There is no more act.

There is no more Schmidt brothers.

I'm already a citizen.

No. Uh -huh. Yeah.

No more Schmidt.

It's Smith.

Oh, gee, that's swell.

Oh, Butchie. Butchie.

Excuse me, boys.

Maisie. Maisie.

Soon, Bruno and me will be citizens. We will be so proud.

Well, knowing you boys as I do, anyone could tell you wouldn't be for Hitler

none of his strides. Say, the Kaiser and the Crown Prince was bad enough.

But this Hitler.

Oh, brother. To fall two times for such phonies. Deep down, something is lost.

Yeah. To anybody who knows show business, that's an awful corny routine.

But all the shouting, halt!

And screaming yet. Like so.

Shifters need their rest.

Oh, yeah, Ma, I'm sorry.

We have to be quiet.

Iris.

Oh, Maisie, I'm not going to work today.

Ann's got a terrible toothache, and I'm going to take her to the dentist.

Oh.

Going to the dentist, huh?

Well, get him to take a look at your wisdom teeth.

Now, Maisie.

Come on inside a minute. But we've got to get going. Yeah, well, the dentist

his friend can wait while you meet the Schmidt brothers.

Come on inside.

Iris, there isn't time.

Listen, this is all your fault. You know she's weak and lonesome. I don't know

what you're talking about.

There's lots you don't know, but what I'm talking about isn't one of them.

Boys, I'd like you to meet Iris Reid.

How do you do? How do you do? How do you do?

Boys, doesn't Iris remind you of Sadie? A little bit around the eyes and the

spine.

And I've got a hunch she's as limber right now as Sadie was in her prime.

Remember when you used to make like a pretzel?

Oh, like a pretzel? Mm -hmm.

Oh, yes, oh, yes.

Like a pretzel, boys.

Like a pretzel. So twisty? Uh -huh.

Well, I think I'd better go. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Oh, come on, let me help. Oh!

Oh, put me down!

Stop it! Stop it!

Maisie!

Maisie, help me stop!

Oh, you're doing fine, honey.

Stop it! Stop it! Come on, knock it. Get off.

Sugarpuss, where's this eyeful you got for Charlie here?

Well, there's been a sort of a... Which one is it?

Her.

Her? A genuine 4F should waste his time on her.

Fooey. Come on, let's get out of here.

Thanks, bud. It's a pleasure.

Hello, Maisie. What are you doing?

Christine Iris, has she come in yet? Yeah, finally. She sure takes her time

about getting to work, though.

Hand me that wire, will you? Yeah.

Where's your tap?

Better put it on.

Gotta get picked up like a zombie or something to do this.

Well, it's a safety rule.

I know.

Oh.

Where are you going?

To the restroom.

Do you mind?

You just started work. I know, and now I have to tie up my hair. And I'm going

to do it where there's a decent nerve.

Just because I have to work amongst a lot of scarecrows doesn't mean I have to

look like one.

How's the best looking girl in Victor Aircraft?

Who, me?

Yes, we.

You know, everybody's always yelling at me around here. Now they're making a big

to -do about I must tie up my hair.

My hair's pretty.

Do something!

Stand still, honey.

Oh, it hurts!

You can't go up there. Okay, let me go. My doctor mentioned her. You can't go

out of your department. Oh, please. You've got a haircut.

Sir.

What's the matter with you? Take it easy.

He's doing the best he can.

Well, can't someone get me out of here?

No, no, no. Oh, doctor, get me out of here. It's killing me.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to cut you loose.

Cut my hair? Oh, no, you don't.

Ask the nurse to give you a sedative tablet.

You didn't have to do that to my hair, did you? Come on, Iris. I'll take you to

the restroom. I'll be back in a bit. Take your hands off of me. Don't you

you've done enough?

You've had a bad scare.

Now you see why I have to tie up your hair.

Oh, shut up.

I'm sick and tired of you and this whole place.

That's the way you feel about it.

Get your time.

Okay.

Well, sure, and begone and be jabbers if it isn't gorgeous.

Hello, John.

Say, you know... Say, was it you got your hair caught?

Yes. I could have been scalped.

A darn old machine.

And on top of that, she fired me.

Ah, well, don't let her throw you, baby.

Looking like you can always get a job.

I hope so.

I've sent every nickel home.

Well, so long, Jack.

And thanks for being so sweet.

You know what you need?

I've been here a long time.

I know all the angles.

You need some hidey -ho and hootie -doo.

Tonight. And with that champagne blues chaser, Jet Evans.

No, thanks.

I've got too many things on my mind.

My room rent's up. I don't know what I'm going to do.

Not as if I had any money or anything.

Move over to my place.

In the same building, I mean.

It's a cottonwood apartment.

No opium smoking in the hall.

All kidding aside, it's an okay joint.

and there's a vacancy right across the way from me.

Oh, the rumor is probably sky high.

Will you stop it? I'm working, ain't I?

Look, I'll be over tomorrow at Lusk Vogel's with a low -powered car and some

high -powered plans.

Right after the whistle blows.

You get packed.

Oh, Judd, I hope you mean all this.

Of course I do.

Do you want to sign this, Judd? Of course I do.

Long distance?

I want Kelly Field at San Antonio, Texas.

And I want to speak personally to Lieutenant Brian B. McLaughlin. And

the charges.

Night now.

Night. Thanks.

Hello, curvaceous.

Hello, obnoxious.

Don't tell me any of my friends have answered your wolf call.

You'll find out.

Okay, chum. So long as it isn't me.

Ha -ha!

had me scared. Are you all right? Uh -huh.

I could see you from down below, and I tried to get to you, but they wouldn't

let me up the stairs.

Let me see. Did you get hurt much?

No. They just hacked my hair to pieces.

Oh, it doesn't look so bad.

Hi, Butchie.

Maisie, they fired me.

Oh, really?

Oh, it's a shame.

I wouldn't worry too much. You'll get something else.

Worry?

I haven't got a cent.

You mean you didn't put nothing by?

How could I? I bought those new clothes.

I wanted to look nice for Breezy.

Does Breezy know anything about this?

I'd rather starve than get him all upset.

Well, you're not going to starve.

But, Mr. Pete, Iris, you sure ask a lot of a person.

Maisie, I'm leaving.

Oh, no, you're not.

I won't be a burden to you.

Well, I've got to keep the room on anyhow.

Yes, but you don't know I'm back two weeks of my rent already.

Two weeks?

Well, you'd better pay up Ma. She makes a hard dollar out of this place anyhow.

Here's 20.

Look, I... Oh, skip it.

But this just pays me up to date.

Then there's this week and next.

No, Maisie, I've made up my mind.

I'll pay Mother 20, though.

But really, I've got too much pride to be a millstone around your neck.

I'm going.

Will you be your age? Where would you go?

Don't worry about me. I'll manage somehow.

Iris Reid lives here. Oh, Iris, this is for you.

Thanks. Sign here.

It's a money order.

Okay.

Miss Reed just left.

Yes, she's right here.

Maisie! Maisie! Yeah?

It's Breezy, I guess. San Antonio's calling. He'll speak to you on account

our... All right, run up, Monty, if you can catch her. All right. Hello?

Yeah, this is Miss Revere.

Now, Miss Reed isn't here, so this is Miss Revere.

Oh, hello, Maisie.

Hiya, snub -nosed.

Say, did Irish get my money order okay?

Well, I don't know for sure, Breezy.

Well, look, it doesn't matter much if she didn't, because after I talked to

this afternoon, I found out I can get a day's leave.

And I'm taking off from here right now.

I'll be at the Burbank airport around 10 .30.

Yeah, look.

Have her get my car out of storage and fill up the gas tanks. You'll find the

coupons in the glove compartment.

I've been saving them up for this occasion.

I'll be seeing you two.

Thanks for including me, but I... Huh?

Hey, we three are going to Yuma and get married.

At least Iris and I are going to get married and you're going to be the best

girl, just like we planned.

Got that straight?

10 .30, Burbank airport.

With the car.

I told you she isn't here, see, and... And Maisie, she may need some things.

She told me this afternoon that being fired had caught her without a dime.

So if my wire for the $100 doesn't come through, you see that she gets what she

needs, will you, darling, and I'll make it up to you later.

A hundred bucks?

Your three minutes are up, sir.

We're back at airport, 10 .30, bye.

A hundred bucks.

Clean out of sight.

If she's going for good, I'll have to take steps.

She could have paid me out of that money order if she had a mind to do the right

thing.

Say, how come she locked you in that room, honey?

Obnoxious, how?

There she is.

Evans, Evans, Judd.

Cottonwood Apartments. Here, Ma.

Obnoxious?

Hey, where are you going?

What a madhouse.

Which way?

The end of the hall.

There, there, baby.

Judd will take care of you.

Poor little girlie.

Never do anything like that again.

Beautiful little kitty like you trying to take her own little life.

But, Judd, I'm so all alone and so broke.

I... Well, this is where I came in.

Don't believe a word she says, Judd. She's just spiteful. You know, you're

of an artist in your line, aren't you?

Phony suicides.

Only somebody ought to leave the gas on for a change.

Yeah, I thought I was pretty good in the acts I've been in, but, sister, you put

on an act that beats anything I ever saw.

You even got a big boat nut man who knows all the angles going for it.

Maisie, Iris has been through a lot. Yeah, I'll say. She's been through my

pockets 20 bucks worth. She just hit the man she's engaged to for 100.

Engaged? Maisie, dear, you get out of here. You're just jealous. You're crazy

about Breezy yourself. You bet I am.

And what a dope I was to let you walk off with him. Breezy? What does that

me, chumpy? And that's not all you walked off with. My suitcase.

You get away from that suitcase. A lot of things, up to and including my last

pair of nylons, disappeared lately.

I got a hunch they walked out on itty -bitty irises, gamsies, whamsies.

Look, sister, this is no yokel you're fooling around with. This is Judd Evans.

Look, weak knees.

When Breezy shows up at that airport tomorrow, the two of us are going to be

there to meet him. Breezy's coming home? Yep, that he is. But there's going to

be no automobile trip to Yuma and no wedding bells for you.

You try and stop me. You're stopped, chickabiddy.

Stop throwing my things around. Oh, you thought you could two -time me, eh?

Well, my best slip.

You know, you're a caution.

What did you do, spill a lot of lies about me over the phone? No. Look, I've

been around a long time, see? I'm no dope. You didn't dare say anything

Breezy wouldn't believe you.

I'll tell you why I clammed up on the phone.

Because I want to see Breezy get rid of you without too many scars on his pride.

When he gets off that plane tomorrow, you're going to say, Breezy, I find I

don't love you enough to marry you, and here's your hundred dollars.

What if I won't?

Either you do it nice, Lambie Pie, or I'll do it nasty, and I'll be right

alongside you. Listen, Iris, I got something to say to you, too. Well, the

jackpot. And ladders in both of them.

Why, you crooked little thief. Listen, Iris, listen.

I was wise to you from the start, see? Oh, go home, Junior, and lick your

wounds. Right from the beginning, I... Shut up!

Shut up! Yeah, shut up! This is all your fault. My fault? Yeah, your fault. Are

you kidding?

I've been around here for a long time, sister. I know all the angles. Well,

outside angle, worm.

If that's the way you feel about it, I'll go.

Now, my little chickabiddy.

Now, stop. Burbank Airport, 10 .30 and...

You'll be sorry.

Why,

you little rat.

You've got to be frank, Miss Reed.

It's your duty to tell me in detail what you suspect and why.

A thorough investigation will be made. Well, your name will be kept out of it.

Strictly.

If you're mistaken, there's no harm done.

Let's hope that you are mistaken.

Well, what would they do to her?

Just question her.

You mean just lock her up for hours and hours?

Until she proves that there's nothing against her.

Would they come and get her right away?

Don't worry.

Well... All right.

This is it.

Oh, you got the wrong room.

We want to ask you some questions.

Yeah, any other time but now I could give you some answers, but I'm awful

sleepy. Run along, will you?

What's the idea?

We're for the Victor client, company detectives.

Cops?

Gee. We want you to come down to headquarters and answer a few questions.

About what?

I don't know anything.

Anything you people care about, I mean. Just get dressed and come with us,

please. Yeah, but what's this all about? What kind of questions?

Certain information has reached us. Certain allegations have been made

you. You can probably explain them all away. All you have to do is tell the

truth.

We got a job to do, Miss Revere, and we must investigate every charge of this

kind.

Wait a minute.

Did a girl by the name of Iris Reed perchance say anything about me?

You'll have plenty of chance to talk down at headquarters, Miss Revere.

Answer me, did she?

Because if it's her... Sure, it's her.

She's trying to keep me from getting to the airport.

You better get ready right away. Oh, now I know what this is all about.

Listen, give me this much of a break, will you?

I'll get dressed and the three of you can drive me to the airport.

If I can just meet that plane, I'll answer all the questions in the book.

Now, that's fair, isn't it? We can't do it, Miss Revere. I know it upsets your

plans, but you'll have to come along now. Oh, but I've got to meet that

She'll be married to him for good and all before I can tip him off.

Well, what's the odds if you drive me to headquarters by way of the Burbank

airport?

You can handcuff me if you want. Just leave me my voice.

I'm a taxpayer. I will be this year.

Please.

Sorry, it's impossible.

I'm sure you'll come along willing. If you don't, we'll have to take you.

Okay, I'll get dressed.

I must warn you, don't try to destroy any papers.

Listen, I haven't got any papers to destroy, leaving out yesterday's comics.

This whole thing's a frame -up. Okay, get your clothes on.

And don't try to get away. We'll be right outside.

I'll check with the landlady. Maybe she'll know something about her. Fine.

Cigarette? No, thanks.

What do you think?

Well, it could be just what she says. Some jealous dame trying to queer with

some guy.

We'll find out.

Yeah.

She's taking her time.

She doesn't look like the type of wear as much.

She's probably putting on her face.

Maisie! Shh! Fire drill.

Oh, dear.

Well, we made it, didn't we, Butchie?

Yes, we certainly did, didn't we?

What? What did you say?

Just come along quietly, please.

Light number four riding from New York, Washington, Dallas, El Paso, Tucson,

Phoenix. Gate number two.

Northbound plane from San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle,

Vancouver. Flight 16 leaving gate 6.

Gate 6, please.

Crazy!

Oh, baby, am I glad to see you. Am I glad you're here.

You look wonderful.

Hey, where's Snub Nose? Maisie? Yeah.

Uh -oh, Breezy, she felt awful. Her aunt passed away back east, and they sent

for her.

Oh, that's too bad. It won't seem legal without Maisie. I got your car out of

storage. Fine.

Hey, I'm really disappointed about some notes. We've been the three musketeers

from the start.

Oh, Breezy, I'm so happy.

I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I was so thrilled and excited.

You and me. Now, pin those beautiful ears back, because we're heading for you

most fastest 35 miles an hour we'll allow.

Hey, come on. We haven't any time to lose.

We've only got a 24 -hour leave, you know.

That's all, girls. Thank you. You're welcome.

Your statements will be kept completely confidential.

Thank you very much, Miss Wilson.

Mrs. Lesfogle.

Thank you, Mr. Curley. I sure hate to think any harm was coming to Maisie

because of me. She's a fine girl.

No harm will come to anyone who is innocent.

If Miss Revere answers our question satisfactorily, she'll be out of here in

few hours.

That's all.

When did you start using the name Revere? Well, like I told you, I was

Mary. I took Anastasia confirmation.

My first season in Vaudeville, I went under the name of Baby Marie O 'Connor,

and from that, the next step was Maisie Revere. Look, what time is it?

Just answer the questions, Miss Revere. The sooner you do, the sooner you'll be

out. Yeah, but it must be 11 o 'clock or more already.

Oh.

Do you want a question?

Yes, I do.

Look, could I please phone the airport?

Sorry, Miss Revere. I understand you couldn't present a birth certificate

you applied for your job here.

Oh. I knew that was coming up, and I admit I was 300 % wrong.

But I was sure I could do the job once I got it, and I've been an okay worker,

too. Ask my lead man.

Mr. Curley made this false affidavit at your request.

Absolutely. I talked him into it. Curley's the soul of the earth.

You won't hold it against him, will you?

Because if that's what this is all about, okay, I'll take any punishment

coming to me, but first could I get bail or something so as I could get to the

airport? There are some other matters we must have cleared up.

On or about the 17th of last month, were you visited at your boarding place by

three men?

Me?

No. I haven't been out since Breezy.

No, sir.

These men spoke with you in German.

Oh, the Schmidt brothers.

I didn't think you meant the Schmidt brothers. They're acrobats.

Otto was taken off. Hitler was just a gag.

Listen, they hate all this nasty stuff. They can't get to be citizens fast

enough. What are the full names, please, and their addresses?

I got it somewhere.

Do you have to get them over? There wasn't anything to it.

Miss Revere, we have to look into these things carefully. Yeah, but it's so

late.

Here.

While you were employed in final assembly, did you at any time hide

any of the airplanes on which you worked?

Oh, sure, a card with my name and address.

I know you're not strictly supposed to, but it's kind of a personal touch, if

you know what I mean.

You get to thinking about the pilots and how grand they are, and it can't help

being proud that you helped build the planes, even if it's putting in floor

or something like that.

All the girls do it, or most of them, anyway.

I see.

Could you give us the names of other employees who, to your knowledge, may

done the same thing? Oh, look, that'd take all day.

Three or four names will be enough.

What's the use? You got me.

Dead to rights.

Beg your pardon?

I did it.

Heil Hitler.

I was the blow to the plant. The whole shebang, planes and all. And there are

three of us in it. Another girl, a man, and myself.

Well, I mean it.

Heil Hitler. I'm not kidding.

Are you prepared to make a statement? Yeah, sure, and you better work fast,

mister. The other two are on their way to Yuma right now, but both are down at

the next stop. Well, give us the names and descriptions of these two people.

Well, he's six foot one, black hair, brown eyes, and built in proportion.

She's taller than me and not quite blonde.

His real name is Adolf Hitler. Uh, beer.

But it goes under all kinds of aliases. They're in a coupe.

A great convertible coupe with white wall tires.

And they've been on the road to Yuma since 10 .30.

Oh, give me the highway patrol.

You know, I'm still cut up about Maisie not being alone.

She's part of the family.

Breezy, promise me you'll always love me.

Ah, you know that, sweetheart.

Yuma, 230 miles.

Oh, Breezy, I've got an idea.

Let's not go to Yuma after all.

Hey, getting cold feet?

No, darling. I mean, let's get married someplace else.

Las Vegas.

Las Vegas?

That's quite a bit farther. It's way north of here.

Yes, I know, but I've been to Yuma and I don't like it.

And I want to remember our wedding as being all romantic and wonderful.

Okay, darling.

Las Vegas it is.

Patrol car.

Have only drink 35 don't pay attention to them briefly pull over there

Hello,

what's on your

mind morning lieutenant? We got a flash to pick up a great convertible headed

toward Yuma You stop me, what can we do for you? But make it snappy. We're on

our way to get married.

You ever go by the name of Adolph Beer?

Adolph Beer?

With this kisser?

No, sir. Brian B. McLaughlin.

Here's my identification.

And please hurry.

We've only got 24 hours and time's a -wasting.

Okay, Lieutenant.

The Flash from L .A. said unless you acted too suspicious, we would let you

on your way.

It didn't take too much talking this Revere girl story anyway.

Let's go, Breezy.

Revere girl?

Maisie Revere?

Yeah, that was the name.

It seems they picked this girl up on suspicion of sabotage.

She made a statement claiming the pair of you were mixed up with her in this

plot. Well, I've never heard of anything so crazy.

Come on, darling, let's get to Las Vegas. Now, wait a minute.

Maisie Revere being questioned about some kind of sabotage?

Yeah, that's it.

But don't let her worry you, Lieutenant.

An army man like you on his way to get married?

Sorry we held you up.

We're heading back.

Maisie's in trouble.

Crazy. Maisie brought this trouble on herself.

She's guilty. I know all about it.

Snub knows guilty of sabotage? She is my foot. We're heading back.

Maisie, you can't do any good for her now. She's in it up to her neck.

She lied to get into the plant. She had that curly lie for her.

Also, she could do spy work for the Nazis.

It's true.

Iris, are you nuts? I know how and why she got into that plant. To spite me and

because she was busting to do a good job for her country.

Now take your hands off of the wheel.

Hey, you told me her aunt died.

I didn't want to worry you.

You knew she was in a jam when you met me at the airport this morning.

Breezy, if you get yourself mixed up in this rotten mess, I'll... You'll what?

I won't marry you.

Maybe that'll be all right, too.

But why can't I go in now?

Maisie asked to be left alone with Miss Reed, said she didn't want to be

disturbed. But I've got to see her. I've been flying blind. I just came out of a

fog. Yeah, I see what you mean.

Okay. Happy landings.

Maisie?

Maisie?

Maisie?

Oh, Maisie.

Hey, where's Maisie? She went to work.

I'll say she did.

Well, come on, honey. What do you say? For the third and last time, the answer

is no. But that don't make sense. Don't you love me?

At the risk of being indelicate, may I remind you that up to and including

today, you were Iris's husband today?

Okay, so I made a mistake. What more do you want? Well, maybe there are a couple

of other Iris's room in some ways that might take her either way she did. Oh,

come on, honey. Get rid of those robbers. Let's take off for you. No, and

final. But Maisie.

Are you giving me the gate for good? Can't I live down this mess? Nobody said

anything about for good and all.

Think it over. Start a correspondence with me. A correspondence?

I'm going overseas.

Well, that's fine. That'll give you a perspective on the whole matter. Oh,

are you talking about, Maisie? That's years off, maybe. And this is today, and

we're here, and we're in love. And we can be married before tonight.

You know you love me, Maisie.

I know this.

People haven't got any business getting married if they've got any doubts in

their mind.

When you've got the marrying kind of love, it's so exclusive that everyone

but just that one person could go jump in the lake.

Breezy, you've got to go now. I'm holding up production. Come on, give me

boost.

That's your last word? Yes, that's my last word.

As soon as you get a post office address, you write me.

Oh, sure.

Fine. I'll send you a boost card.

But right now, I'll go jump in the lake.

Oh, here you are, girlie. There's quite a few people in there to see you. No,

not tonight, Mom.

Oh, come on.

Quite a few.

Yeah, they've been waiting a long time to see you. Come on in, huh?

Come on.

Hiya, Maisie.

We all got your note. Yeah, we just got in last night. Yeah, we all got 48 -hour

leave. And we came here pronto. So put on your glad rags now, baby. We're going

to paint the town.

Oh, boys, there's been a terrible misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding nothing. This is terrific.

Well, thanks for the compliment. But since I wrote those notes, things have

changed. I couldn't go out with you boys or anybody else. I'd just be a wet

blanket. Because I'm in love, see?

And when you're in love like I am, it's exclusive, that's all. And everyone else

but just that one person... Then go jump in a lake.

Putting that on a push card.

Oh, Reese.
