Did ya hear
that applause?

How we doing now,
love-boat?

Aren't you proud of us?
How about a great big kiss?

He's beginning
to get a bit gooey.

I wish you'd get
a little less gooey.

Oh, what am I,
a grapefruit?

If I didn't know
exactly how old you are,

I'd think you were
an adolescent schoolgirl.

If adolescent is the way
I feel about Johnny,

I want to be adolescent
for the rest of my life.

You'll probably
get your wish.

Oh, look, Rosemary, just because
you're 12 minutes older than me

doesn't mean you have
to act like my grandmother.

Be your age.

The trouble with me is
I have to be both of our ages.

"Love-boat!"

Well, he is my love-boat.
I'll admit it.

And if I ever meet him,
I'll admit it to his face.

I'll say to him,

"Love-boat, darling,
you're my inspiration, sweetheart."

And then he'll say,

"You've always been mine, love-boat,
even though I didn't know it."

So, we'll get
married and settle up.

As long as your future seems to be set,
maybe I'd better tell you about mine.

Is that still
eating you?

Yes. Every time we sing
that song,

I feel maybe we're not doing
the right thing.

Look, you know we're doing
the right thing!

Remember that General what's-his-name
at Camp whatever-it-was-called?

Well, he said we were doing more for
morale than Dorothy Lamour's sarong.

I don't feel that way.

Your measurements are the same as mine,
aren't they?

Exactly the same.

Well, sister,
those are morale.

Sorry, Susie, I already filled
out my application for enlistment.

Oh, but you can't!

What'll I do? You've always
done everything.

You've handled the business,
you've given me advice, you...

You know what
my very best advice is.

Well, I'm not
taking it!

The Waves are all right.
I like their hats. On them.

But I couldn't walk
in those low-heeled shoes.

I'd trip
and break my neck!

Okay,
go ahead if I'm not dependent on you!

I've got to learn
to be independent,

learn to think
for myself!

Only I wish, I wish...
What?

I wish that I'd have been born
12 minutes older than you

and then I'd have had
all the brains!

Oh, honey.

Attention!

Hand salute!

No!

Two!

Try it again.

Hup, two,
three, four. Hup.Hup.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup. Hup.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup. Hup.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup. Hup.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup. Hup.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup. Hup.

The left flank, march!
The left flank, march!

Right flank, march!
The rear, march!

Hup, two,
three, four.

Hup, two, three, four.
Hup, two, three, four.

Hup, two,
three, four.

March time, hup!
Hup, two, forward...

Hup. Hup, two,
three, four.

Hup.

Hi, kids!
Hi.

You got any shoes
to be shined?

It's my turn
to manicure them.

Yes, thanks.
Where's Susie?

Taking a bath and listening
to Johnny Cabot records.

You missed Prince Charming of
the Bobby Socks singing Dinah,

which she has played
nine times,

and Mississippi Mud, with his voice
right smack in the mud, four times!

Sue!

Susie, come out of there!
You're holding up the works!

Liberty! I wish they'd take the
liberty of introducing us to a few men.

A few men! Why, Tex,
it's only been five weeks.

Men? That word
has a familiar ring.

Oh, yes,
my mother told me about them.

You know, it's funny.

We've only been here five
weeks and so much has happened.

I never felt so good
in all my life.

It was swell getting
to know you kids.

And now, in a couple of days,
we'll all be going

to different parts
of the country.

I'm sure going to miss all of you,
even though you do snore.

With luck, we might all be assigned
to the same station, you never know.

I hate to admit it,
but I've enjoyed myself.

I knew things were
going to be tough,

but I didn't know there were
going to be so many laughs, either.

What are you going to do on your liberty,
Rosemary?

Well, what I'd like to do is go
downtown to the most expensive hotel

and get myself the most expensive room
and just sleep, without you lugs around!

But what I'm going to do is
go with Susie to, of all things,

witness the personal appearance,
in conjunction with his latest movie,

of Whom do you think, kids?

Oh.

Yes,
you've guessed it!

You just can't keep secrets
from your shipmates.

Well, none of us will be
going anywhere tomorrow

if we don't get
in there pretty soon.

I'll get her
out of there.

Grab your towels and get ready
to establish a beachhead!

Seaman Allison.

Seaman Allison,
come out of there at once.

Come out
of there at once!

Hey, wait a minute,
I'm not finished yet!

Aw, look
at that deck.

Well...

you and your impersonations!

What time do we have
to be there tomorrow?

I don't know. 1300 your time,
1:00 by mine.

Seaman Allison.
Oh, go soak your head.

Seaman Allison.

Oh, sorry, Miss Kern.
I thought it was one of my friends.

What's going on here?
Just a little accident, Miss Kern.

So I see. At ease.

Allison, are you the one with that enormous
collection of Johnny Cabot records?

I'm afraid so,
Miss Kern.

Do you by any chance
still have Black Magic?

Yes, Miss Kern.

Well, I'm on
watch tonight,

but some of the specialists wondered
if they might listen to it down below.

Oh! He really takes you
by the throat and chokes you

and blows your head off,
doesn't he, Miss Kern?

Well, I never
experienced that exactfly.

Shall we say
he phrases nicely.

I know just what you mean.
He does the same thing to me.

He just rips you limb from limb and
then puts you all back together again!

So tender.

Well, he is good.
Thank you.

A fine way
to spend liberty,

standing in line
four hours.

Well, is it my fault if all the
slick chicks want to see him, too?

Johnny, sing to me!
Sing to me!

Sue, remember
you're in uniform.

Oh! It looks just like him,
doesn't he?

That old black magic

Has me in its spell

That old black magic

That you weave so well

Those icy fingers

Up and down my spine

The same old witchcraft

When your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle...

Cheap, childish
emotionalism.

Oh, yeah,
isn't he wonderful?

And then that elevator

Starts its ride

And down and down I go

Round and round I go

Like a leaf
that's caught

In the tide

I should stay away

But what can I do?

Oh, Johnny,
sing to me! Sing to me!

He's singing to me.
Hear it? That's for me.

Hit that high note, Johnny! Oh,
Johnny, sing to me!

Aflame

With such
a burning desire

That only your kiss

Can put out
the fire

For you're the lover

I have waited for

Johnny! Oh, John...

Please, Mister,
quickly! She's fainted!

Hurry!

There's one
in here, too.

And every time...

You'd think people with weak minds
wouldn't be allowed out of their asylums.

The least they could
do is bring their own doctors with them.

Down and down I go

Round and round I go

in a spin

Loving the spin
I'm in

Under that old
black magic

Called love

Come on,
let's get out.

What's the rush? I want to
go around to the stage door.

Maybe we can see him
when he comes out.

Now, wait a minute,
Sue. I kept my promise, I came with you.

Now, you've got to
keep your promise.

We said we were
going to the club.

Remember, we have
to be aboard by 9:00.

Oh, but I may never
get to see him again,

maybe till
the war's over.

Well, in spite of that,
we've still got a good chance

of winning it.
Come on.

Hi, Windy.
Hi, John.

I got your wire.
Collect, huh?

What's the matter, son?

Drop your bridgework?
Huh?

Oh, no! It's just that
that's the kind of flesh

I never expect to see
in the flesh again.

It's just part of
the female anatomy.

Legs, limbs,
or as the poet says, gams.

Yeah, but out there where I was,
they were rationed, but completely.

Say, they really laid a lot of
goods on you, didn't they, boy?

Yeah.
We're proud of you.

Come on upstairs while I
get out of this white-wing outfit,

you can tell me about it. Okay.

Hey, tell me a little more
about that Douglas, Windy.

She's a sweet ship. A little old,
but, boy, can she take it.

A torpedo in her belly and yet,
she brought us all home safely.

How about that.

That's why I'm leaving
for Diego tomorrow.

They're refitting her,
and all we want to do

is just get her ready and
take another crack at them.

That's all, brother,
that's all.

Sure wish I could go with you.

You mean to say
they turned you down

just 'cause you're a little
colorblind? Mm-hmm.

I even memorized that red to me is blue,
and blue to me is yellow,

and yellow to me is green,
but they crossed me.

They come up with...
What's that?

Fuchsia?

I was cooked.

They won't even
give you a commission?

Not even
lieutenant commander.

Rough, huh?

Hmm. Gosh,
but things are different with you, though.

Big picture star and all
those dames tearing after you.

Oh, in a way,
but really,

I'm just the figment of a mad
press agent's mad dream.

This thing is not what it's
cracked up to be, old boy.

Yeah, I can bet.
With all those girls.

I'm really scared of
this thing. Now they...

I'm something these girls
have... have sort of made up.

I'm a thought in the minds
of all these girls.

A thought with
but a single thought.

Well, I figured at least
you'd understand.

How would you like it if no matter
where you went or what you did,

you were surrounded by
women, women, women?

Are you kidding?

I'd love it,
and don't tell me you don't.

Well, I... I appreciate
what they've done for me,

they've made me a star,
but morning, noon and night.

Well, at least tonight...

...let's have some, huh?

Windy, this is going to come
as quite a shock to you,

but I don't know any girls in New
York well enough to ask them for a date.

But we'll swing
out somewhere.

We'll go
to the 21 Club,

drop in at the Stork
for a hot minute

and probably wind up at the,
uh, well, at the Cabaña.

Well...

Holy mackerel!
What's that for?

Oh, this is the combat flag
I fly to get to a taxi.

Uh-huh. Okay,
beaver, let's deploy.

Deploying.
Lead on.

Now, Windy, let me get the
details of this action straight.

Seems I've lost a cruiser somewhere. Oh,
here it is.

This is the Douglas,
huh? Yeah, that's right.

Right between the Jap
fleet and the island here.

Now, uh...

Would you,
Mr. Cabot? Hmm? Oh, yeah.

Thank you.
Not at all.

Now,
there's a submarine surfacing here...

Please,
Mr. Cabot... where it goes up here...

What?
Please.

Oh, yeah.

Now, let's see.
The shore batteries,

so they're coming
up the slot here...

Uh, look, Johnny,
let's talk about that some other time, huh?

What about getting that magic
signature of yours to get us a few girls?

Look, I told you
many times, Windy.

I never mix business
with pleasure.

Now,
come on. Let's get back to the battle now.

This is... This is
tremendously interesting to me.

But, Johnny, I told you.
The only battle

I'm interested in tonight
is the battle of sexes.

Believe me, Windy, you got a
better chance of winning this one.

Now, let's see...

Folks, I want to introduce to
you at this time the Allison Twins,

who made a big hit here
not so long ago.

And now they're serving us
in a different way,

wearing the uniform
of their country.

May I present Seaman Allison
and Seaman Allison.

The twins!

Come on, Johnny. At least
there's a couple of girls I know.

Your Johnny Cabot Special,
Miss Susie.

Thank you.

That mess reminds me
of Johnny Cabot,

a lot of goo
and nuts!

Hello.
Windhurst.

Windy!
Welcome aboard.

Gee, the Navy's getting
better-looking every day, huh?

Let me see. Uh,
you're Rosemary.

That's right.

Hey. You're all grown up
and beautiful!

Oh, gee, thanks.

Uh, yeah,
you, too, I guess.

Oh, this is my pal,
Johnny Cabot.

These are the Allison Twins.
Sit down, Johnny.

How do you do?
Hello.

This is Rosemary.
I'm Rosemary, too.

She's a little confused.
Her name is Susie.

I mean I'm her twin.
I'm 12 minutes younger,

but I'm not that young

and I'm really not
a grapefruit.

Well, I'll bet you're not a
grapefruit.

Susie's just had a horrible
dessert and it's upset her.

A Johnny Cabot sundae. Hmm.

Yeah, I can understand
that making you sick.

How nice of you. How
did you guess I wanted it?

I'm sorry. I just...
Force of habit, I guess.

I'm sure.

We
went to see your picture this afternoon.

Oh, did you?
How'd you like it?

Fortunately,
we missed it.

Oh, don't pay any attention to my sister,
Mr. Cabot.

She just naturally
doesn't like you.

- Sue!
- Well, you don't.

You said when he sang, he looked like
an amorous bullfrog and sounded like one.

Did you say
all that?

In all probability,
I did.

Sounds interesting. I'd love
to hear additional details.

Shall we dance?

I'd love to.

How about it, Windy?
Sure.

Susie,
order me anything

except a Johnny Cabot
Special.

I hate you.

Say, your sister's not only very
intelligent, but she's quite attractive.

Oh, don't pay any attention
to her, Mr. Cabot.

She doesn't think
about you the way I do.

Yeah.
Shall we dance, Susie?

Oh, gosh, yes!
I'd love to, I guess.

Well, come on.
What's the matter?

I don't know. I...
I can't seem to move.

Follow me.

Oh... Oh,
don't! Don't.

What'd you say?

Go ahead.
I guess I can stand it.

Oh, no!

You all right, honey?
Yes, thank you.

How did I get mixed up
in a thing like this?

Oh, Johnny.

What have you
done to my sister?

Why,
nothing. We were just dancing and...

Listen, you woman's
home companion,

you keep away from her,
do you understand? I'm warning you.

Come on, Sue.
Smooth sailing, Windy.

Boy,
she certainly told you off.

That she did.

You know, Windy,
that's the most wonderful girl I ever met.

Johnny Cabot!

Hey, whoa, now.
Whoa! Skedaddle.

Say something, Johnny,
say something!

Help!

Huh?
Hey.

Where are we?

Where are we today?

Ah! Johnny Cabot!

No game today.
It rained.

Ain't that awful?

No dames
for six weeks.

Great. Great.

Oh, gee,
isn't it pretty? - In here, girls.

Aaron, Abbott,
Ackerman,

cubicle number nine.

Young, Allison, Sue, Allison,
Rosemary, cubicle number 10.

Bren, Caster, Crawford,
cubicle number eight.

Delman, Drake...

Ruth! Tex! Hi, kids. Oh, Susie.

Did you get
your rating?

Link Trainer
Instructor.

Yeoman Third Class.

Where's Rosemary?
She's coming.

Well, where do
I park?

Ether one
of those two bunks.

Rosemary!
Ruth! Tex!

How are you? We
heard you were coming.

It's swell to have you
here. How'd it happen?

Well, when Sue found out
"love-boat" was on the West Coast,

in order to get here,
naturally she put in for the East Coast,

and that's how we got here on
the West Coast.

Have you seen him?
Where is he?

How does he look?
Where's he stationed?

No to all of them.

Although we have
heard rumors.

They really put him
through boot over there.

But he took it.
I'll bet he took it.

Yep,
and then some.

You see,
I had him pegged right.

I hear he's been assigned
to a destroyer at the Base.

A destroyer?
Which one?

Can I telephone him,
or should I write him a letter, or what?

I think a telegram
might be better.

That's right.
A telegram.

Yeoman, take this down.
"Dear love-boat..."

Blow today
and blow tomorrow

Blow, boys, blow

Blow, my bully
boys, blow

Here you are,
Admiral. I heard them calling your name.

Hi, big shorty.

Now, I got tickets for the fights tonight,
too. Well, good.

Well, blow me down and pick
me up again. What's the matter?

No fights for me
tonight. Why not?

Look out!

You know Admiral Nimitz?
Yeah.

Pretty good admiral, huh?
Yeah, fine.

Needs me.

Come on,
who's the dame?

Oh, Windhurst, why must you
always have dames on your mind?

Yeah. On my mind,
that's just the trouble.

On the other hand,
you are my comrade

and been companion,
is that right?

And superior.
For the moment.

Now, I'll tell you
what I'm going to do.

What would you say
if I were to introduce you

to a nice little
blonde destroyer?

Well, I'd give her
a 21-gun salute.

When?
Tonight.

But let's get
one thing straight.

I want to be alone
with my girl.

Yeah. Well, listen, didn't I just get
through telling you I was your best friend?

Now, come on, let's not
keep them waiting.

Your hand, sir?
Why, sure.

Rosemary's with me,
and you're with Susie, huh?

Oh...

Give me my hand
there, pal.

Now look,
let's start right from the beginning again.

The twins are in town,
right? That's right. Let's go.

Now, wait a minute!
I'm taking Rosemary.

I've always had her in mind. Well,
get her off your mind. Come on.

Now, listen, take it easy.
We got plenty of time.

Well, I guess
the deal is off.

Sorry, we'll have
to make it a threesome,

but somewhere along the line,
we'll scuttle baby sister

and wind up
a nice, cozy twosome.

Mmm. A twosome?
Yeah.

Uh, Seaman Second Class Cabot. Aye,
aye, Commodore.

Would you say,
by any chance,

that those were
fingerprints on there?

Naturally.

Pretty big ones, too.
Yeah.

I am chagrined
and shocked,

Seaman Second Class Cabot.

This will have to become a matter of,
uh,

official record,
I'm afraid.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, gosh, Rosemary,
look how nervous I am.

I know if I'm alone with him,
I'm just going to faint again.

Just breathe deeply and
you'll remain conscious.

Oh,
it doesn't help.

What makes you so sure
he's accepted your invitation?

The way I feel. Oh,
I'm not kidding, Rosemary.

Please stay for just
the first 10 minutes.

Man
aboard for Allison! Oh!

Please go out and see that
he doesn't get away, Rosemary!

Oh, all right.

And don't insult him.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, I'll probably
just faint, anyway.

Oh, my coat.

Windy.
Hiya, Rosemary.

I didn't know
you were here.

Well, I found
out you were.

Now,
how about a little dinner tonight, huh?

Why, I'd love to,
as soon as Susie gets...

Where's Johnny?

Well, the Navy sort of found
something for him to do tonight, Sue.

He sends his regrets,
I imagine.

Oh, but I got to see him.
I want to see him tonight.

I've made all
the preparations.

I just couldn't go
through all this again

without getting to
see him. Where is he?

Well, uh, right about now,
you'd probably find him down at Gate 2.

He's there through the offices
of a very good friend of mine.

Gate 2?
Well, good night.

Hello, Johnny.
Hello, Rosemary.

Oh, I'm not Rosemary,
I'm Susie.

Goodbye, Susie.

Oh, you've caught cold.

They shouldn't put you out
in damp weather like this.

No, I haven't caught cold. I just can't
talk to you. They'll throw me in the brig.

Oh, but I've got
to ask you something.

Well, write me a letter.
You'll get me in trouble.

All right,
I won't talk.

Look! It's...
It's Johnny Cabot.

Johnny Cabot! I'll
call you tomorrow.

Oh, wonderful.
What time?

Where'll we go?
What'll we do?

I don't know. You just
stand by. I'll call you.

Oh, Johnny!

Spread out, spread out.
This is government property.

Get away from here.

Hey, look!
There's Johnny Cabot!

- Johnny Cabot?
- Yeah.

Johnny, sing for me!

He can't sing for anybody.
Can't you see, he's on duty?

Who do you think you're
shoving? - I want a souvenir!

I want his hat.
Give me one of your buttons, Johnny!

I need all my buttons. Now,
look here, stand back!

This is loaded, you know,
it might just go off!

Petty officer
of the guard! Petty officer of the guard!

Petty officer
of the guard!

Come on. Break it up.
Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.
Government property, ma'am.

Break it up. Come on,
get out of here.

Government property.
Come on. Break it up.

Why couldn't you prevent this disturbance,
sentry?

Well, I couldn't
fire on them, sir.

Relieve this sentry and have
him report to the OD's office.

Aye, aye,
sir.

Now, what were you
doing here? A Wave.

I... I was coming
to his rescue, sir.

Well, young lady, I think you'd
better get about your business.

Aye, aye, sir.

Oh!

Hiya, stoop. Oh,
big shorty.

Gee, that must have been
a really funny sight last night.

Listen, I can take anything the Navy dishes
out, and I can do anything you can do,

but that Susie,
that is rough duty.

But that was good
for you.

Toughen you up, give you that
real battle experience, you know?

I see what you mean.

I haven't forgotten who
got me into that detail, either.

Where you going?

Oh, no place,
no place in particular.

Well, uh...

What were you
planning to do?

Nothing, I just thought I'd
sit here and smoke my pipe

and watch the effect of
yon moon on the waves.

Hmm. They're human,
aren't they?

Now, this is
a coincidence.

A happy
coincidence.

Yeah, I'll bet.
Why, hello, Mr. Cabot.

I'm happy to see
you're all in one piece.

I hope
I'm not barging in.

I had a date at the bar,
but hasn't showed up yet.

Well, you see,
we were just about to leave anyway.

But we just
got here.

You said
we were going to eat.

You told me
the food was wonderful.

Don't let him take you out of here
without tasting the food, Miss Allison.

- Waiter.
- Yes, sir?

Waiter, this gentleman would
like to order dinner for two.

You don't mind if I stay
for just one drink, huh?

Well, of course we mind,
what do you think?

Windy.

I'd like a little... I mean,
a large frozen daiquiri, huh?

Yes, sir.

Sorry I missed seeing
you the other night,

but I was given
a previous engagement.

I know. Susie
told me all about it.

Oh. That sister
of yours.

Every time I see her,
something happens to me.

Well, I don't hold that
against you especially.

It happens to me, too.

I don't know
quite how to say this,

but I'm sorry
for what I said.

That night in the club, I mean.

Don't let it worry you.

We could talk it
over sometime.

Are you busy
tomorrow night?

Well, I'm afraid I've promised
the rest of the week to Windy.

Yeah, and all
of next week, too.

You see, we've got
so much to talk over,

uh, our youth
and all that.

Promises to be pretty dull,
doesn't it?

Well, here we are.

Hey, how about some, uh,
fried shrimp and egg roll, huh?

What are those,
waiter?

Well, those are eggs, chopped
up in greens and rolled in a batter.

They're all explained on
the back of the menu, miss.

Try some of the Canton duck
with the bamboo shoots.

Where's that?

It's under Canton duck
with the bamboo shoots.

I beg your pardon. Whatever you're doing,
I wish you'd stop it.

We don't think
it's amusing.

Well, what...

I wasn't doing
anything but ordering.

I guess he just doesn't like
your New England accent,

those clipped
speeches of yours. Hmm.

Look, how about
that date of yours.

Haven't you been away
from the bar a little too long?

Oh, she's probably going to stand me up,
anyhow.

That always happens
to me.

I feel very attractive
right here. Yeah.

Oh, and now, for dessert, we can have
some fresh pineapple and lichee nuts.

Oh!

Look, you. I told
you to cut that out!

Now what did I do? I didn't do
anything. What's going on here?

Why, all he did was... Uh,
the Gunner's Mate didn't do a thing.

This man has been
annoying this young lady.

He just threw
ice down her back.

I spoke
to him once, but he kept repeating it.

Do you wish to make
a complaint, sir?

Now, now,
wait a minute.

Let's not argue
about it in here.

If you'll come down to
Shore Patrol Headquarters

at San Diego jail
at 10:00 tomorrow morning,

you can make
a complaint there.

You better come along
with me, sailor.

Don't you worry
about a thing, Windy.

I'll take care of Rosemary
this week and next week, too.

You just get plenty
of rest and don't worry.

A cool head's the main thing.

Come along
with me, sailor.

Uh-huh.

That's what
makes it so tough.

I was the first one in our family for a
long time who didn't go to Annapolis.

Is your dad Navy, too?
Well, he was Navy.

He was killed aboard the
Douglas in the last war.

It was his ship.

Oh, I didn't
know that.

You see, I've got a personal reason
for tossing old Johnny overboard.

I just had
to get in there.

I'm awfully sorry about
things I said to you, John.

There's no way you could
have known about me.

I could have known enough
to keep my big mouth shut.

Then I wouldn't have
known about you.

Um, you shoving off soon
or shouldn't I ask that?

Well, it's no secret down
at the destroyer base.

As soon as the Douglas is ready,
we'll be leaving.

Have you seen her?
Beautiful.

No, but they all look
deadly to me.

I'm glad you got
your Wish, though.

Yeah. And now I only
have one wish left.

I think we'd better get
back. We've got lots of time.

Besides, I... I know
a good shortcut.

To Coronado?
There's only one way.

Yeah, through Alaska.
Through Alaska?

Who's in a hurry?

Let's take
the long way home

Let's look
for the long way

Home

And on the way

Let's pretend

That this
wonderful night

Won't end

Through Asia would be
much too soon

We'll circle

Once around
the moon

Our dream boat
will carry us

Across the foam

We'll take
the long way

Make sure
it's the wrong way

Let's take
the long way home

Shall we fly
through the night?

Shall we dream
as we go?

See the star
on your right?

See the farm
down below?

The whole trip
it appears

Only takes
a million years

if you're in
the mood to roam

Then let's take

The long way home

That song is lovely.
Why don't you sing it with me?

Oh, no.
Why not?

I think
we'd better go.

The long way?

Did you hear me,
Rosemary?

Yes, I did.
I heard you.

The long way, huh?

If you wish.

I was beginning
to get worried about you.

It's kind of late.

Sue, you still awake?

Mm-hmm. Did you
have a good time?

Yes, lovely.

That Windy. I can't
see him for peanuts.

I don't even know why
you go out with him.

Windy left early
in the evening,

under the oddest
circumstances.

Hmm. No wonder you had
a good time, alone.

Oh, I... I wasn't alone.
I was with John...

Mr. Cabot.

Johnny?

Quiet. Hit the sack,
will you?

Sue, do pipe down.

I was telling you about Windy. And,
Sue...

Tell me about Johnny!

There isn't
anything to tell.

He just happened to drop by as
this odd thing happened to Windy.

It was the most
curious thing.

Look, forget
about Windy.

Tell me what went on
between you and Johnny!

Why, nothing,
Sue.

Well, what did you do?
Dance somewhere?

No, we sort of
walked and talked.

About what?

Mostly about him.

Well, what did
he say?

Well, he did convey the
thought that I had him all wrong.

I could have
told you that.

He told me about
himself and his father.

Well, what else
did he say?

Did he sing
to you?

Well, good heavens,
can't you remember anything?

Well, all I remember really is
he said he was shoving off soon.

You... You mean leaving?
Going to sea?

Yes, Sue.

Oh. But he can't. They
can't do that to Johnny Cabot.

He might
get killed!

Oh, and if he does,
it's going to be your fault,

and people like you.

Just selfish,
that's all.

We need him
on the home front.

- I need him on the home front!
- Can't you be quiet?

- I've got to get some sleep.
- Quiet!

Who would sleep at a
time like this?

Come on, Sue,
hit the sack.

Oh, I'll never be
able to sleep again.

How can I sleep
with the whole world

collapsing around me?

- Have a heart.
- Pipe down, will ya?

Oh, shut up!

Pipe down.

Oh, Johnny.

Oh, Johnny,
how can they do this to you? - Quiet.

- Shh!
- Oh, shh, yourself!

You just don't understand,
any of you.

- Be quiet.
- Oh, shut up.

Can you imagine? They're
sending Johnny Cabot to sea.

Poor guy.

Don't you worry, love-boat.

I'll look after your
interests if nobody else will.

Well, Windy, I thought you'd
been restricted for 10 days.

I have been.

Shame the way
time flies, isn't it?

Don't you worry,
bud. When the right time comes,

I'm going to remember
who got me into this jam.

And from now on, you're not
going to forget that I'm your superior.

Perhaps in rating,

but I know a certain young lady
doesn't think you're too superior.

Cabot, the Skipper says
you're to meet him

in the Commodore's office
on the double.

Yeah?

Well, he probably wants to put me in
command of a new ship or something.

Yeah, he probably wants you
to sing him to sleep, crooner.

The Commodore will see you now,
Cabot. Thanks.

Cabot,
Seaman Second Class reporting, sir.

At ease, Cabot.

Your Commanding Officer
and Lieutenant Bennett,

who has been sent out
from Washington,

have told me
of your suggestion.

We liked it very much.

What's that, sir?

This thought you had.

Uh, I might add that Washington
is tremendously enthusiastic.

Washington, huh?

That's very good, sir.
Hmm.

And I want you to know
I'm pleased that the idea

came from one
of my men.

And also that Washington has granted you
the temporary rating of Chief Specialist,

to last until you see
the job through.

Well, thank you
very much, sir.

I'm very grateful to the
Navy Department and to you.

Your orders read,
"When directed by the Commanding Officer,

"USS Douglas, you will
report for temporary duty

"to the Welfare
and Recreation Officer,

"11th Naval District
Headquarters,

"and to such other places
as may be necessary

"to produce,
stage and appear in

"a theatrical project dealing with
recruiting for the Women's Reserve."

A Wave?
What did I do?

Nothing but give us one of the best
recruiting ideas we've had in a long time.

Well, I'll do
the best I can.

You... You don't suppose, uh,

that is, if I get
finished in time,

that... that I could be
reassigned to the Douglas, sir?

After all,
my... my dad was...

Yes, yes, I knew
your father.

And I know how anxious
you are to be at sea,

but I can't promise
anything, Cabot.

I will say,
when the job is finished,

I'll do all in my power to get
you back aboard your ship.

And now, Miss Bennett,

if you'll explain
the details to Cabot.

Yes, sir.

Well,
what's up?

They made me
a Chief Petty Officer.

I don't believe it. Not
the United States Navy.

Read.

"Chief Petty Officer..."
In the Waves!

Woo-woo!

Chief Pretty Officer.

Well, uh, pardon me,
Miss Cabot.

You see, uh, I have
a stocking, I must run.

Attention!
Come on, hit it.

You got me into this. Now,
I thought you were my pal.

I know we've had a few
little beefs from time to time,

but I didn't think you'd
do a thing like this to me.

You knew darn well I
wanted to stay on the Douglas.

We need fighting men
on the Douglas.

Let me hear your
do-re-mi. "Do-re-mi"?

Great.
You do it fine.

They told me I could have
anybody I wanted for an assistant,

and who do you
think I chose?

You're my man.

Me?
Mm-hmm.

You can't do that.

I did it,
and very tenderly, too.

And I also saw
that memo.

It's not even
in my handwriting.

I could have told them
who wrote it,

but I didn't want to get
you into a lot of trouble,

serious trouble.

So I broke down and made
you my happy assistant.

I don't know
what you're talking about,

but you'd better go in there and tell
them you changed your mind about me

or you'll never be able to
sing through that nose again,

'cause I'm going to
knock it right off your face!

Go ahead,
go ahead. Tag me if you want to spend

the rest of your Navy
career in the brig.

I want you to report
to me tonight.

And this is an order. I want you to
think up some new ideas for the show.

Do you hear me?
Get thinking.

I'm thinking.

At ease.

You take over, Ruth.
All right.

Windy, isn't it wonderful? Yes.

Johnny told me to tell you
he wants you and Rosemary

for the top spots
in the show.

Isn't it wonderful? So
you don't have to try out.

Isn't it just marvelously
wonderful, wonderful?

I heard you
the first time.

How does Johnny like it?
Wonderful.

I'm so glad. I was worried,
you know, he wouldn't like it at all.

Why should you
be worried?

Well, I wanted him to be pleased. You see,
this whole thing is my idea.

Your idea?
Yeah, isn't it wonderful?

I knew they wouldn't
pay any attention to me,

so I just didn't put
any name down.

Why, you!
Hey, wait a minute.

What's the matter?
What did I do?

Why, you pug-nosed little blonde,
I'm going to wring your neck.

No, I think I'll crush
your silly skull.

Windy, I thought
it would be fun.

Fun? Drilling a lot of dames
when I could be drilling Japs?

Oh, you sound
just like Rosemary.

I thought
everybody'd like it.

I guess everything
I do is wrong.

What about
Rosemary?

Well, she just feels
sorry for Johnny.

Oh, she does,
does she? Wait a minute.

You didn't tell
Rosemary, did you?

No, not yet.
Well, don't.

Supposing Johnny
finds out,

he'll strangle you
the way I want to.

He'll not only skin you,
he'll skin your skin!

Oh, jeepers,
Windy. You won't tell him, will you?

No, not if you
do as I say.

Now get out of here,
let me try to figure this thing out.

All right.

Hello, Windy.

Don't talk to me. I'm
in a mood. About what?

Oh, about this show,
I'm being assigned to it.

I'm sorry for you, Windy,
but it's just as tough on Johnny, isn't it?

Is it?

Yes. Didn't he want
to go to sea?

Hmm.

But he told me so himself.

Yes, I guess he did,
as long as he said so.

Windy, tell me
the truth.

Did Johnny ask
for this?

You just said he wanted to go to sea,
didn't you?

Why would he ask for this
if he wanted to go to sea?

Windy, wait a minute.
I want to know one thing.

I don't know What you're talking about,
Rosemary.

All I know is that
if this show's a hit,

we'll be in it for the duration,
and, uh,

I'm sorry Johnny
wants to go to sea,

because he's writing
all the main numbers

for himself
so he'll be in it.

I don't believe you.
Well, who asked you to?

I didn't bring up
this conversation.

You believe what
you want. So long.

Windy, Why would he tell me he
wants to go to sea if he doesn't want to?

Well, you wouldn't
believe me anyway.

You know how crazy
I am about you

and you'd just think I
was trying to cut him up.

You believe
what you want.

I'll believe what
I know to be true.

But you don't have
to believe what I saw.

I saw the original memo he
wrote suggesting the Whole thing.

Not that you have
to believe that.

Of course, if you ask him,
he'll probably deny it

and say that somebody
else wrote it.

But since there's no reason
for your believing me anyway,

let's leave it at that,
shall we?

Yes, Windy,
we shall.

Hello, Rosemary. Gee,
I'm glad you signed up.

We need all the
professional help we can get.

Yes,
I thought maybe I could help a little.

It's too bad you have
to do it, though.

Trapped again. You know how it is,
orders is orders.

How did it all come about,
do you know?

Sure, somebody
crossed me up

and sent in the idea
like it came from me.

Do you want me
to believe that?

Well, it's
the truth.

I guess first
impressions are the best.

What do you mean,
Rosemary?

I mean that I'm in the show because I
believe it's part of my duty as a Wave.

I mean I was right about
you in the first place,

and I further mean I don't want
anything further to do with you.

Well, what do you
know about that?

Well, that's what
you get,

forging your
own handwriting.

Hey, Windy, how does it feel
relieving a Wave for active duty?

Stow it. I'm in no mood
for corny ribbing.

You know what
you are, Windy?

You're the man
behind the woman

behind the man
behind the gun.

One more little flip quip
and I'll behind you.

How does it feel to be a
big wave among all the little ripples?

Pipe down. I'll be back
one of these days

just to show you guys how to
shoot those popguns.

Well, Windhurst,
shall we join the ladies?

What are you
so happy about?

Oh, a nice person,
that Lieutenant Bennett.

I asked her to get me the
original paper suggesting the show.

And here it is,
for my scrapbook.

If you can see without
your range-finder,

you will notice that it is not my
handwriting. Oh, bup, bup, bup.

I just wanted to show you
it's not mine, either.

Hey, I'm sorry I had to hang this on you,
Windhurst,

but it gets me out of
my jam with Rosemary.

I'm going to see her tonight
aboard the aircraft carrier.

What'll she be doing
aboard an aircraft carrier?

They ordered us to knock
a few numbers there.

Whatever we got ready
for a carrier crew

just back from
the South Pacific.

Get your laundry.

We are gone.

I've just been
talking with the guys.

That Douglas is gonna
be ready right on schedule.

Oh, great, great.
Great?

Might as well get it
through our skulls right now.

From now on, we're what you
call dry-land sailors, brother.

No, we've got
a chance.

Really, Admiral?
Sure.

You know how I've been knocking
my brains out trying to get an idea

for selling the Waves
across the footlights?

You know, putting over
the scope and the size

and the color
of the whole idea?

There's only one way
to do it, on film.

Yeah, but you were assigned to do a show,
not a picture.

I got an idea for
combining the theater

with the stuff
I'll photograph.

Sort of a combination
show and picture.

I'm going to photograph
everything that you and I are in.

And after opening
night... Oh-ho! We cut out.

Get hep, schlep!

Gee, that might be a way out. Why,
it's the only way out.

And besides,
it's been approved.

Of course, I didn't
actually give them

my personal reasons
for wanting it.

It'll be better
for the show anyway.

Admiral, I could
almost kiss you.

You try it
and you'll find

I have only begun
to fight!

Morning, Morgan D.
Hi, Themistocles.

How you doing?

Oh, I don't know,
sort of in and out,

round and about,
betwixt and between.

Sounds messy.
Yeah.

What you doing
messing around here?

I thought
you was retired.

Man, I always
been retired,

but since this
conflagration started,

I... I done retired from
my retirement. Hmm.

What you all doing
for the war effort?

Oh, I don't know... A little
bit here and a little bit there.

Man, that's negative.

That's the trouble with all these
people walking these streets.

They ain't positive.
If they was,

they'd be rushing up to them
booths to buy a ticket for the big show.

You got to be positive.

You got to accentuate

Hey, Susie.

Oh, it's you. Go away.
Wait a minute. Come back.

Let go of me. I want to catch
Johnny before he leaves.

And when you do,
you're going to catch something else.

Why? What's the matter?

Johnny's got
that memo you wrote

and he's gonna show it
to Rosemary tonight.

Oh, but he couldn't. She'll
recognize my handwriting.

That's exactly why
we've got to get it. How?

Well,
I told him that Rosemary wanted to meet him

on the deck
by the sponson,

only you're going to
be there instead of her.

Why?

To get the wallet.
The memo's in it.

Yeah, but suppose I can't. What I do then,
push him overboard?

Hey, that's not bad.
That's not good.

It's very good.

If you can't get the wallet,
push him overboard.

And I'll be there
to dive in after him

and I'll get that wallet
if I have to sink us both.

Just sink yourself.

Johnny?
Hmm?

Rosemary?
Come here.

I've got that paper I
wanted to show you.

I've got it right
here in my wallet.

Let's see it.

Susie, huh? Well,
what are you doing up here?

Oh, just getting a fresh of
breath air.

Well, you ought to be in there
with the rest of the people and...

Hey, what's the matter
with you?

Oh, my hands
are cold.

Put them in your pocket. Thanks.

Where's Rosemary?
I don't know,

but isn't it nice
out here?

Look at the moon.

Well, it's just an average... Here now,
here.

What's the matter
with you?

I think
I'll run along.

Oh, don't go, Johnny.
Why not?

Well, I... I don't know
how to tell you, Johnny,

but I've done
a silly thing.

Not you.
I can't believe it.

I made
a little bet.

Not on the horses?

Uh, would you mind
stepping over here

so they can see you?
So who can see me?

Well, I know this sounds silly to you,
Johnny,

but I bet my whole month's
pay with the girls that...

well, that
you'd kiss me.

I guess
they're in there watching, huh?

Yes. I hope
you don't mind,

but I wouldn't want to go
penniless for the rest of the month,

and after all... Well,
rather than have you go on relief,

I'll... I'll accede.

Shall we operate? Yeah,
yeah. Oh, wait a minute.

Will you, uh, step over here so
they can see you just a little bit better?

There?
Yeah, there.

Yeah.

Well, sorry to disappoint you,
Susie.

A kiss
is just a kiss.

Man overboard!

Man overboard!

Now, Johnny,
cut it out.

Do you want to
drown us both?

You? What are
you doing here?

These
things just don't happen.

Rosemary,
wait a minute. Please, John.

I just want to show
you the original memo

so you can see it's not my
handwriting and not my idea at all.

The least you can do
is look...

Well, I...
I had it here.

It's somewhere on the ship.

Never mind. Honestly,
Rosemary. Windy'll tell you.

Did Windy
write it, too?

No, of course not.
Don't bother.

You don't have to knock
yourself out for me.

There is one favor I'd like to ask,
though. You got it.

I'm going to ask Miss Bennett to
relieve me of my duty in the show.

But, Rosemary,
we can't...

All I ask is you don't oppose
it by saying I'm necessary.

But you
are necessary.

You said you'd grant
the favor,

although I don't know
why I should trust you.

I won't
say anything.

Thank you.

Plane's taxiing...

Yes, sir.
That's right, sir.

Are you
coming, Ruth?

Oh, no,
I've got another hour's work here.

Anything I can do?

Well, you could be a lamb
and see these carbons?

You can stack them
and put them in this file.

All right.

Tough day?
Not so bad.

I could do with a little sleep,
though.

Oh, you weren't
at rehearsal.

No, I...
I was on duty.

But, Rosemary,
we're leaving for New York

day after tomorrow.

I'm asking to be
relieved from the show.

Oh. Why?

Well, for one thing,
it's interfering with my studies.

Kind of fell
for him, huh?

Yeah. But I picked
myself up again.

What is it
that does it?

The sob
in his voice?

No, the mud
in my eye.

How about it, kids,
we on our way? I'm starving.

Sorry, honey,
I've another hour's work.

I'll see you at
rehearsal later.

Run along,
Sue. I'm lending Ruth a hand.

Gee, Rosemary,
isn't it wonderful?

Johnny's giving me
all your songs.

He is?
That's swell, Sue.

And we were rehearsing and he held
me in his arms and sang down my neck

and I didn't completely faint.
What do you think about that?

Oh, gee, Rosemary,
leaving the show

was the most wonderful
thing you ever did.

Now maybe I'll get
someplace with him.

Well, I'll see
you later, Ruth.

I wonder.

I'm wondering, too.

I didn't realize
Sue'd get my songs.

Well, Sue,
she's of age.

Of course, that's what
makes it so easy.

Well, I'm not worried
about that.

Nobody can push Sue around.

Not unless she wants
to be pushed around.

Sue's honest and she's gone
overboard for Cabot.

You can see how
enthusiastically she falls.

Well, the rebound is
just as enthusiastic.

When she finds out
What a phony he really is,

something pretty serious
could happen to her.

Sue's a good kid.
You know what I think?

I think you ought to stick
around and play up to him.

And then when
the proper time comes,

you can knock that big
bust right off his pedestal.

Maybe I ought
to try, anyway.

Good.

Watch that line now.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

Come on, Windy,
act like you're enjoying it.

Watch your tempo,
not too fast.

Hello.
Hello.

How about some chow? Swell,
I was just looking for you.

How's your romance
going? Almost too well.

You don't know how hard it
is just to be pleasant to him,

let alone pretending
deep interest.

Sue's so mad
she'll hardly talk to me.

Well, that's the lesser
of the two evils.

Hi, Ruth.
Hello.

Rosemary, I hope you don't
think I've been neglecting you,

but I've really been
jumping sideways. I know.

There's one thing we have been neglecting,
though.

What's that?
The love song.

We ought to rehearse
that a lot more.

Oh, I can hardly think of
anything I'd like to do better.

Will you excuse me now? Mm-hmm.

You look like
a lovesick guppy.

What is this,
a honeymoon trip?

Might wind up to be that,
just exactly that.

Exactly what?

Pinetop, dear boy,
I'm in the mood for marriage.

Getting hitched.
A little love bird

has whispered to me that
she shares my tender feelings.

You're crazy. You heard
what she told you once.

She can't even stand
the sight of you.

We shall soon see,
my skeptical friend.

I'm having
a little party tonight,

and with a little luck and
some expert maneuvering,

at which I am
an acknowledged master,

we might wind up
a news item.

Like to have you
come if you can.

It's strictly formal,
of course.

Black tie,
bell-bottom trousers.

Oh, and wear your beaded moccasins,
you'll stand out.

Hi, Susie.
Hello.

Here's your wig
for the twin number.

Gee, it looks exactly like
Rosemary's hair.

Hmm, I don't know
if I'm me or not.

Now, if you had any brains,
you could be Rosemary.

Yeah.

Come in.

Oh.
Rosemary.

They told me Susie
was in here. I'm sorry.

I'm frightfully sorry
you're sorry.

Well, I didn't mean that. It's
just that I didn't think that...

You didn't think
I cared?

Well, Windhurst,
I don't.

Very funny.

Ah, sometimes
I kill myself.

Yeah, well, this one will
really lay you in the scuppers.

That big phony heartthrob of yours is
going to ask Rosemary to marry him.

Oh, no, he couldn't!
I know he is.

But what about Rosemary?
Do you think she'll accept?

You saw the way she was acting
on that train trip. What do you think?

Oh, Windy, we've got
to stop them!

It'll ruin both of
their lives and mine.

Yeah, and mine, too.

Rosemary just isn't
the kind of girl for him.

She isn't
his type.

I suppose
you think you are.

Gee, if we could only
make him believe that.

Maybe we can.

Oh, how can we?

Rosemary's a wonderful girl,
even if I say so myself.

You're going
to wear this wig.

That wig? What for?

You're going to pretend to be
Rosemary at that party tonight,

and as Rosemary,
you're going to get rid of him for good.

But how?

Well,
you can disillusion him about Rosemary.

Oh, no.
I couldn't do that.

After all,
Rosemary's my sister.

You'll do exactly that.

I won't do it.

Well, if you don't,
I'm afraid I might have to tell Johnny

just who's bright little
idea this show was.

After all, I gotta
think about myself.

Yourself? What about me?

You?

Never heard of you.

This is it.

Okay, the coast
is clear. Come on.

Hey, stick this
in your bag.

What's that for?
It's cold tea.

I'll bet. It is. Taste it.

I don't want it.
But it is cold tea.

Why, it is cold tea.
What's that for?

Look, just take a slug of this from
time to time and really overdo it.

But I can't do that. In the first place,
I'm in uniform.

Well, in the second place,
you're only going to be with Johnny.

Nobody's gonna
see you except him.

Oh, Windy, the one thing I'm
scared of with him is I'll faint.

I thought
of that, too. Here.

Here's some smelling salts. Oh,
Windy, I'm so scared.

Well, everybody is
before a big battle.

It's a...
It's a natural reaction.

Gee, I almost
forgot one thing.

Are you sure Rosemary's
not going to be here?

Yes. How'd you get rid of her?

I hid
all her clothes.

Oh,
Rosemary.

Glad you could
come so quickly.

I
thought I'd come quickly.

Where's Susie?

Oh, you mean my darling little
sister? She's rehearsing tonight.

You know how seriously
she takes her work.

But of course.
Sue?

She just works
and works and works.

If she were married,
she'd work her fingers

to the bone for a man
who really appreciated her.

Sound like
a lot of work.

I know you don't
drink or anything.

Uh, how about
some ginger ale?

I'd love some. Let's have a pair,
huh?

Oh, ginger ale.

I thought
you were kidding.

Just between us,
I'd love a real snort.

What'd you say, hmm?

Come on outside.
I'll give you a slug.

Say, it's a little
chilly out here.

Don't you think
we ought to go inside?

I got something here that'll warm us,
but quick.

Have one?

No, thanks.

Well, down the hatch,
as you sailors say.

That's the stuff that puts
hair on your permanent.

Sure you won't have one?
Did you leave any?

I don't think I'd care for
any tonight. I don't feel like it.

Do you mind if I take
another little nip?

Little nip?

You know,
it's kind of funny. What is?

You don't seem
like yourself tonight.

Oh, uh, Johnny.
Yeah?

There's some guests here
I think you ought to see.

Windy, I'm sure glad
to see you here tonight.

There's something I want to
talk to you about a little later.

Oh, don't stay too long,
dear. Uh-huh.

I don't know,
she's a strange girl.

Well, there's nothing
strange about her.

She's just a nice, normal,
healthy American girl.

I can't figure her out.
She baffles me.

Well, that's no deep
intellectual problem.

She just doesn't happen
to like you, that's all.

You keep saying that,
Windy. Why do you say it?

I not only say it,
I know it.

As a matter of fact, she happens
to be in love with me.

Windy, you've got to get
over your inferiority complex.

In love with you! Oh.

Johnny, I feel
sorry for you.

You're my best pal.
I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll go...

No, I couldn't do it.

Do what?
Do what?

Well, if you want to do
a little eavesdropping,

you can stand right behind that
curtain and maybe I could, uh...

Well, after all,
there's no reason in the world

why Rosemary should
keep coming between us.

I couldn't do that.

Okay, pal.

I thought you couldn't.

Rosemary, darling.

Windy, darling.
We're finally alone.

Did you get
rid of him?

Don't talk like that, Rosemary.

After all, Johnny's
my best friend.

You know I was just
playing around with him.

A fellow like that can do
my career a lot of good.

But let's forget Johnny. The
important thing is we're alone.

But, Rosemary...
Kiss me, Windy.

Rosemary.

Hey,
cut it out now. No more of those long ones.

Take it easy.
Don't overdo it.

Oh, kiss me
again, Windy.

I know
he's there.

Carry on.

Now look what you've done,
you big dummy.

Maybe Johnny
didn't even see us.

Well, I'll send him
back to you.

Rosemary, Windy said
you wanted to see me.

As a matter of fact,
I want to see you, too.

Johnny, darling, now that
Windy's gone and we're alone and...

Wow! What's the
matter? Is something...

Oh, no, no, no. Nothing, I'm just
not feeling myself so much anymore.

Well, maybe I'd better... No, no, no,
you stay here.

I'll be right back.

Allison? Oh, excuse me,
Miss Bennett.

Allison.

Yes, Miss Bennett. I... I wanted
to speak to you about your sister.

Want me to get rid of your hat? Yes,
thank you.

Hello, Windy.

What happened
to you, idiot?

Well, I don't know.
What has?

You're supposed to be
out there on that terrace.

Why?
Because, mudhead,

this is where he's supposed
to ask you something.

Now he's waiting for you. Get
out there and tell him off good.

Johnny.

Rosemary.

Windy said that you had
something you wanted to ask me.

I think we'd better
just let it pass.

No. I'm curious.

I was, too,
but not anymore.

What's going on here?
I wished I knew.

Do you feel all right?
I feel great.

Now that I know
how you feel.

About what?
About me.

What about you?

I know that you've just
been showing me a time.

I'm sorry you
found out about that.

You never really cared for me at all,
huh?

Yes, I did,
at one time.

Why have you been
acting so friendly lately?

I can't tell you that.

I see.

You figured maybe I could help
your career for after the war, huh?

Well, let's leave it
at that, shall we?

There she is, old man.
She's all yours.

Well, I don't like
to gloat, but...

...I told
you so, chum.

Hello, Windy.

Darling!
Windy, stop it...

He may be
still there. Kiss me.

Who's there? Kiss me, you dope.

Windy, let go
of me.

Why, you little blockbuster! Windy,
let go of me!

Gee, Windy, isn't it
a wonderful party?

Yeah, it's swell,
but...

Wha...

Well, Windy,
my boy, we're off.

Yeah, we're also in,
but for the duration.

I just got a telegram from the boys on
the Douglas and it says, "Knock them dead.

"We hope to do the same in our
theater. Bye-bye from the gang."

They're sailing? The
Douglas is sailing?

That means tomorrow's tide,
brother.

What are you going to do?
I'm going to phone the Skipper.

Hello. This is Chief
Petty Officer John Cabot.

Yeah. I want to put in a person-to-person
call to Lieutenant Commander Slade

of the USS Douglas
in San Diego.

What're you gonna ask him to do?
Hold the ship until the show's over?

No, but if we can get permission to fly,
we can still make it.

Are you out
of your mind?

Well, the Skipper and the
Commodore half promised, didn't they?

That's Slade,
Lieutenant Commander Slade, yeah.

They said when the show was finished,
we could have our berths back.

Well, as far as I'm concerned,
it's finished right now.

Hello.

Four-hour delay?
Oh, but this is urgent.

Prior... No, I...
I don't have a priority.

Four-hour delay.

That scuttles that.
Come on.

I'll be with you
in a minute.

...how many days...

Oh, baby, dry land.
I don't believe this.

After six months afloat,
all I want's a beauty parlor.

What are we kidding for?
What we want are men.

Do you know any big
blonds? Don't you kids worry.

I'm gonna fix you all up. I've
got my little red book with me.

You have? Yeah. Well, fix me up.

Got anybody
special in this burg?

Havel?

And I've got one
in every port.

There's a fella
waiting in Poughkeepsie

And he's just as
sweet as he can be

He hasn't even
been tipsy

Since I left him
and took to the sea

There's another
waiting in Pomona

With the cutest dimple
in his chin

And there's a guy
in Daytona

Who just waits
for my ship to come in

I miss them, honor bright

I write 'em every night

But if you held my hand

I suppose they would
all understand

Oh, you mustn't think
I'm just a gypsy

But I really ought to
set you right

There's a fella waiting
in Poughkeepsie

But I'm strictly
on my own tonight!

There's a Seabee
waiting in Milwaukee

One of my more
gentlemanly beaus

Sometimes he goes
to a talkie

But I know that's
as far as he goes

There's another
waiting in Decatur

And I often
sat upon his knee

I'm gonna
look him up later

He made quite
an impression on me

Topeka, Kankakee

Eureka, Tennessee

I got them
here and there

What the heck,
love is love anywhere

What's the difference
if you have lumbago?

And your hair is
getting kinda white?

There's a fella
back in San Diego

But I'm strictly on my own
Strictly on my own

Strictly on my own tonight!

Malted milks for
everybody! Set them up.

Give me a double
with an egg in it.

Hey, take it easy.

You only live once.

Well, let's start living.
Get out that red book.

Right.

The first one's
for me.

Has your friend
got a friend?

Yeah,
and two of the cutest numbers in town.

Hello.

Yes, this is Charles.

Myrtle!

Well, when did
you get in?

Just now?

We wondered why
you hadn't called us.

Tonight?

Well, I had a date,
but I'd break it for you, dear.

Yes, got
a friend. Yes.

Oh, he's
awfully cute.

He's ash blonde,
6'4" in low heels...

Listen, no more blind dates
for me. Says he'd love to.

Oh, these are different.
You'll love them.

Why, he says it'll be
sheer heaven. Yeah.

Pick us up in the lobby.

I should say not.

We're not going
to stay home tonight.

You're taking us
out to dinner.

Oh,
we'll make fudge for you some other night.

Oh, that's too early,
way too early.

I'll be under
the dryer until 5:00.

Of course. Hmm.

You know you're my
one and only. Yes.

Bye, sweets.

Yeah, probably end up
with the same old routine.

We'll go rowing on the lake
in the park with them again.

Oh, no, no,
not these kids. They're different.

They throw money
around like sailors.

Look, for heaven's sakes,
let's try and get in early tonight.

I've got to think
of my looks.

Really doesn't matter much at
your age. You can be benevolent.

What are you doing
in that suit?

What do you mean what
am I doing in that suit?

I distinctly told you that tonight
I was wearing my gray pinstripe.

After all, we're not twins,
you know.

Why don't you wear your
blue double-breasted?

I've put on so much
weight lately,

my blue double-breasted
has become a single-breasted.

Why don't you wear your brown
ensemble? Everyone adores you in it.

You know very well that I haven't
got a single thing that will go with it.

I'm always
giving in to you.

I ought to be
getting home.

Oh, the night's
still young.

They've been gone
almost half an hour now.

Don't be impatient. They said they
were just going to powder their noses.

Oh, these men.
They're all alike.

Hey, look!

When a
beachhead's gotta be established

The Marines are first
in any fight

There are Waves
awaiting at the jetty

But we're strictly
on our own tonight

Got a guy in Hackensack
in Pontiac, Daytona, Pomona

In Mexico, Guam, Palm Beach,
Idaho, Colorado, India

So far, I'm doing it
all right

But I wish
someone would phone

I'm so all alone

Strictly on
my own tonight

Yes, I'm strictly on my own

Tonight

They seemed to like it out there,
didn't they? Come on, Windy.

Go on, take another bow. Hey,
where's Johnny?

Go on.

Windy, Johnny asked me
to give you this.

Tell Rosemary
to come to the office.

All right. You come with me,
brainless.

Hey, what's the matter
with you? What's up?

Quiet, I'm trying
to think.

I don't know why I should be quiet
just 'cause you're trying to think.

Did you want me,
Windy?

Yeah,
that Johnny really pulled a fast one.

He's gone
AWOL.

Gone AWOL?

Do you mind if I don't
care? Wait a minute.

It's our fault, but it's yours,
too, in a way.

My fault?
Don't be ridiculous.

Anyway, I don't believe it.

He's going back to
his ship to go to sea.

His ship. Why?

I thought this
whole show was his idea

to get out
of going to sea.

No, it wasn't,
Rosemary. It was mine.

I sent in
the memorandum

and pretended
it came from Johnny.

You did?

And you knew this,
too, Windy?

Yes,
I... But we'll forget about that.

But this walking out,
it's sure court-martial.

The guy must be
out of his mind.

But, Sue,
how could you do a thing like this?

Why didn't you
tell me?

I couldn't tell you.

I wanted him to fall in love with me,
not you.

Think of something,
Rosemary.

You've always done
the thinking for both of us.

Yes, but this time
it isn't so easy.

Then think
for yourself, then.

What do you mean, Sue?

Forget about me.

I know how you feel about him,
I feel the same way,

but he's not for me 'cause...
'Cause he's not for me.

But that's no reason for
not keeping him in the family!

He has to go to his
apartment and pack.

You try to stop
him there.

I have to get dressed
for my number,

but I'll see
what I can do here.

Oh!

What do
you want?

Johnny,
we've come to take you back. Fat chance.

Hey, look, Admiral. Windy,
I don't want any trouble from you.

What do you think you're
stirring up for yourself right now?

Well, I'll straighten
that out when I get there.

When you get where, Johnny?
To the Coast.

Oh, but you can't go.

I got a last-minute
cancellation on a plane.

And I've got exactly three-quarters
of an hour to get to the airport.

Johnny, this is
kid's stuff.

Is it kid's stuff to want to
get back on the Douglas?

The show is on,
they got all they need from me on the film.

I've done the job
they wanted me to do,

and now I'm going back to
do the job I enlisted to do,

if I can get to the Commodore
before she sails.

Johnny,
do you realize what you're doing?

You keep quiet.

Rosemary wants you
to come back.

You can tell
your sister for me...

Johnny, it's all
my fault.

I sent in the idea
about the show.

You did?

I ought to wring
your neck.

There's something else I
think you ought to know.

I know I ought to be on my way
and I don't want anybody in it.

Johnny, you can't
walk out on those kids.

They've been rehearsing
night after night

and doing
their job all day.

You can't just
because you hate me.

Oh, how could
anybody hate you?

Johnny,
you can't go!

Look, Johnny,
you're pretty proud you're Navy.

Well, the Waves
are Navy, too.

I know I'm not the best
representative to talk about them.

In the beginning
it wasn't for me,

but I don't know,
it kind of gets under your skin, and I...

Even I replaced
a man.

Johnny, there are fellows
out there chasing zeros around

that were taught
to fly by me.

Me, Susie Screwball. That's
how much the Waves are Navy.

And that's only a small
part of it, Johnny.

Nice try, kid.

Come on, Pinetop,
will you get me a cab?

A lot of gals down
there in the lobby.

I'll have to slip out
the side door.

Yeah, you'd never get through a
mob like that on time, would you?

I guess I'll be the Admiral
of the freight elevator.

Come on, you'd better
get back to the show.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, it's Johnny Cabot!
Come on!

Oh, I'm so glad
you made it.

I suppose you had
a hand in it, too?

Yes, I did, John.
I wanted you here.

Hate
to be pedantic

Or too
darn romantic

But, gee,
these goodbyes

Do things
to my eyes

So I hope

That the same
old phrase

Still applies

I promise you

A faithful heart

One that has
always been free

At night, there's
a handful of stars

That I pretend
belongs to me

I promise you

That rich or poor

I would be
happy to share

The arms you have
taken possession of

The sun
on the meadows

A fire
in the shadows

And I promise you
I'll be there

A faithful heart

A star
or two

And I'll be
there

I promise
you

[promise you

A faithful
head

One that has
always been free

At night, there's
a handful of stars

That I pretend
belongs to me

I promise you
I promise you

That rich or poor

I would be happy
to share

The arms
you have taken

Possession of

The sun
on the meadows

A fire
in the shadows

And I promise you

I'll be there

A faithful heart

A faithful heart

A star or two

A star
or two

And I'll be there

And I'll be there

I promise you

Johnny, I know this
isn't the time for it,

but later I have a lot
of apologizing to do.

Why don't you tell the
whole thing to Windy?

You two seem
to get along very well.

Chief Cabot,
Captain Johnson would like to see you

in the office
right away.

Well, you can
visit me in the brig.

We'll play gin rummy
for three or four years.

Here come the Waves
marching row on row

Clear the way
as they pass in review

Any time there's a job
to be done

You'll find the gal behind
the guy behind the gun

Gal
behind the guy behind the gun

Here come the Waves
So the world will know

That the Yankees can do
what they say

if you have to be shown
Ask the bunch who are known

As the Waves of the USA

When the bugle blows
and the chips are down

And when we really
need to go to town

When GI Joe
needs a helping hand

Say the word
Say the word to the Navy

Here come the Waves
So the world will know

That the Yankees can do
what they say

if you have to be shown
Ask the bunch who are known

As the Waves of the USA

When the bugle blows
and the chips are down

And when we really
need to go to town

When GI Joe needs
a helping hand

Say the word
Say the word to the Navy

Here come the Waves
So the world will know

That the Yanks can do
what they say

if you have to be shown
Ask the bunch who are known

As the Waves of the USA

Here come the Waves

Here come the Waves

Navy Waves
Navy Waves

When GI Joe
needs a helping hand

Say the word, say the word,
say the word, say the word to the Navy

I don't suppose you realize,
Cabot, what you've done?

I realize it
now, sir.

This show will be a real shot
in the arm for Wave recruiting.

Thank you, sir.

Specialist Rosemary Allison
told me of your great desire

to get back to your ship

and how you intend
using the film.

Rosemary Allison
told you that? Yes.

Although your orders aren't made out yet,
I can give them to you orally.

You and Smith are to return
to your ship immediately.

Thank you, sir,
but our ship has sailed. I know that.

I got through to Commodore
McPhearson about your case.

I also learned your ship is putting
in to Los Angeles harbor overnight.

There's a Navy
transport plane

bound there
within an hour.

We've made reservations
for both you and Smith.

Be on it
and you'll make it.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.

Join the Navy today

I promise you...

Goodbye, Rosemary.
Goodbye, John.

Incidentally, I want you to
know that I appreciate all you did.

It was the least
I could do.

Good luck.
Bye.

Oh, Johnny,
isn't it wonderful?

Hey, look.
I didn't even faint.

Ha, I guess I really did
get over you after all.

Sue, that makes
both of us very happy.

Way down deep,
I knew all along it was Rosemary.

I wish it had been.
It was Windy.

Windy? What are you
talking about?

Well, I heard her with
him the other night.

Oh, that was me,
only I was being her

so that you would think she wasn't
in love with you, but with him so that I,

that is, the real me,
