That's my ship.
The Arizona.

It's in here for repairs.

We're building
a big machine shop over there.

- Would you like to see it?
- Oh, I'd love to.

- Let's have a hot one.
- Here's one.

Oh, look at that sailor
catch that thing.

Oh, he's no sailor, lady.

He and the rest of those
scaffold muggies are just

civilian help doin' the work the
navy personnel oughta be doin'.

Why don't you write
to your congressman, flatfoot?

Why you little--

Let's have a hot one.

Hot iron, comin' up.

Will you watch it,
you slug?

Can't you see the hole
on the beam up there for that?

The only hole
I can see from here

is the one in your kisser.

You better shut it
or I'll drop my tongs in it.

Eh, you couldn't drop
a line home to your folks.

Oh, no? Ha ha.

Comin' down.

Tell you straight
I'm comin' up!

Lucky thing for you, sailor.
Had to postpone that lickin'

I was gonna give you
'til after-lunch.

Oh, nuts to that...
when I get through with you

you won't be able
to eat for a month.

Mr. Martin...
don't fight, please!

Okay, lady.

Remember, monkey.
You still got somethin' comin'.

Okay, sucker,
but I'm comin' back.

When? Let's make it
a date, sweetheart.

I'll be waitin' for you.

Get a load of that
three-dollar-a-day admiral

bringin' in
a new flock of suckers.

Aw, now,
don't start anything.

Alright, sailors. Come on.

Hustle along. Get goin'.

Hey... that's the mug
that put on a show

for those dames
this mornin'.

Watch this.

Ho!

Alright. What wise guy
yelled that?

I did. What are you
gonna do about it?

Oh, so it's you again,
redhead, huh?

Well, nothing's gonna happen
now, but plenty when I get back

from this detail. Stick around
and see what's gonna pop.

Come on, boy scout,
get goin' before

somebody takes your
toy sailors away from you.

Atten-hut. Forward march!

Alright, wise guy.
But we'll meet again.

Hmm... 26 simoleons.

Imagine how long some poor dope
had to stay down a hole

to dig out all that silver.

If you ask me, Chesty,
I think you are awful selfish.

'What do you mean I'm selfish?'

Spendin' all that money
on a tin mug.

Well, huh? You're like that,
are you?

I only wish I get this thing
to lay down. Hurt my throat.

Say... where'd you
get that outfit?

You look like
the head waiter at the casino.

Waiter, nothin'.
Waiters wear tuxedos.

That's why
I didn't rent one.

The crack still goes.

How much did you
have to put out?

Three bucks for the night,
and forty bucks deposit.

In case I bring
it back damaged.

You must've been jumpin' off
to tell him

you were
going to the riveters' ball.

Will you stop
crackin' at me?

- And get your coat on.
- 'What's the hurry?'

They may ask you
to lead that grand march.

Now, come on.
Get goin'.

Hey... what's the idea?

Wanted to get a pillow slip.
To lug that thing up there in.

What's the matter
with the case it came in?

Looked too much
like a casket.

Get arrested
for grave robbin'.

'Well... I'm ready.'

- Hi, Chesty.
- Hiya, boy.

That's Chesty O'Connor,
a swell guy.

- Hi, Chesty boy.
- Hi, boy. What do you say?

That's Chesty O'Connor. That guy
ain't afraid of nothin'.

- That broad's his dame?
- Yeah.

And she's nuts about him.

- Nice goin', baby.
- What do you mean?

Don't be a pikehead.

Try a bullfeather,
you'll get more.

Don't be silly.
Why are you always so jealous?

I ain't jealous, baby.
Just wanna see you get along.

Check your hat?

No, I don't think so.

I'm not gonna stay long.

Excuse me.

- Where you goin'?
- Hmm, must I tell everything?

Well, I'll see you
in a few minutes.

- Still want this?
- Oh! Thanks.

- Lemonade.
- Make it two.

- 'Two lemonade?'
- Right. Uh, you with somebody?

- Mm-hmm, my boyfriend.
- Ah, gee, that's tough.

Oh, uh, excuse me,
I-I got this dance with him.

Yeah, well, look.

It ain't against the law
for me to cut in, is it?

I wouldn't know.
I'm a stranger around here.

Yeah,
you and me both.

Here's your lemonade.

Drink it yourself.

Changed my mind, sister.
Store that away, will ya?

Thanks.

- Sorry, pal.
- Well, you oughta be.

- Oh, so it's you?
- It ain't a marine.

Hey, big boy. What would
it take to keep us apart?

A magician, baby.
A magician.

Looks like the navy's landed
and taken full control.

Not today.

- Hey!
- Sorry, sailor, I'm cuttin' in.

Yeah, well, don't do it
with a sledgehammer!

Drop it, you two guys.
You wanna break up the dance?

There's an alley outside
for this kind of stuff.

- That's okay with me!
- And it goes double with me!

Well, come on. Relax, honey.
I'll be right back!

This won't take long.

Give me your coat, chief.

Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute.

It's a gentlemen's fight
between me and him.

Now, you guys stay out of it.
This is my fight!

That goes for me too. Nobody
steps in and the best guy win.

You wanna
take off your coat, Chesty?

Nah, I won't even
work up a sweat.

Come on.
Stand back. Everybody.

Get back.
There's plenty of room.

Give me a bugle.

Ladies and gentlemen..

...the next dance
will be a Waltz contest.

For the Chesty O'Connor Cup.

This contest will be run
strictly by elimination.

Alright, ladies.
Get your partners.

Chesty! Chesty!

Chesty! The contest
has started. Come on, up.

'Go on. Let's go.'

That cologne will
fix up your face, boss.

But it'll take more
than that to fix up this coat.

Huh?

- Do I look bad?
- No, sir, you don't look bad.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it gives me great honor

to present
the Chesty O'Connor mug

to the winners
of the waltz contest.

'Miss Gladys Hawkins and her
partner Mr. Biff Martin..'

...of the USS Arizona.

Hey!

- What's this?
- A day and a half's pay.

I'm sorry, Chesty,
but you was off two days

and I got my orders from
the front. You know how it is.

Alright, Mike.
Never mind the song and dance.

I'm fired, huh?

I phoned you this mornin',
they told me you checked out

and gone to Frisco.

So what?

Well, you're not
makin' much headway.

Hmm, I don't know.
I'm doin' alright.

Are ya? From the looks of your
kisser, his aim was awful bad.

- Who is it?
- A gentleman.

- And he's awful nice.
- Oh, I get it.

I don't have a house'
fallin' on me.

So we're washed up,
huh? Through?

Funny, huh?
How quick you catch on.

- Who is it? That guy, Martin?
- Maybe.

Well, listen, I'm startin' out
right now to catch up

and when I do,
it's gonna be too bad.

Hmm, you're pretty safe
making cracks like that

with him on the water.

What water?

He just left
on the Arizona

for San Pedro.

Well, even so... I'm just
showin' up to join the navy

to get even with him.

They only want men
in the navy.

Oh, yeah? Well,
look here, twist.

When I catch up with that guy
Martin, the Navy's gonna know

they made a mistake
in takin' him in for a man.

Ha!

"I, Chester O'Connor do solemnly
swear or affirm that I will bear

"true faith and allegiance
to the United States of America

"and I will serve them
honestly and faithfully against

"all their enemies whomsoever.

"That I will obey
the orders of the President

"of the United States
and the orders of the officers

"appointed over me, according
to the rules and articles

"for the government
of the navy.

"And I do further swear and
affirm that all statements

made by me as now given
in this record are correct."

I do, say, uh, doc..

...now that I'm in the navy, how
'bout puttin' me on the Arizona?

From now on, when you address
an officer, you'll say, sir.

You're leaving tonight for naval
training station to San Diego

where you'll spend 90 days
learning to become a sailor.

- Ninety days?
- Ninety days.

- I quit--
- No, no, you won't.

You're in the navy now.
Sit down.

Roy Brent?

Raise your right hand.

Hey, where you going?

Ah, that's alright.
We're the new sailors.

You're in charge of this craft?

I certainly am.

'Have you any orders?'

Oh, yeah. Got a note for you.

Fine. Let's have 'em.

Mac, take charge
of this gang.

Alright. Fall in like
two rows of corn. Follow me.

Corn?

He don't mean liquor.

Detail, halt!

Raise the flag!

Uncover.

Take off that hat.

Take off that hat!

- For what?
- For Uncle Sam.

Oh.

For him I'll do it.

Alright, let's go.

Put on that hat.

You just told me
to take it off.

Well, put it on.

You ever try
makin' up your mind?

You know, there's something
about this place

that gives a guy a thrill.

What is there about it
to give you a thrill?

Well, if you feel that way about
it, what did you join up for?

With me, it's strictly
a matter of personal business.

I owe a lug in
this outfit somethin'.

I'm the type
that goes to extremes, eh.

Pipe down.

Oh, pipe down, pipe up

pipe up, pipe down.
What is it?

Seven!

- Size shoe do you wear?
- Eight.

- Ten!
- But I don't wear ten.

- I wear eight.
- You wear a ten now, son.

You're in the navy.

'Size shoe do you wear?'

I guess ten.

Eight.

Company, report.

First squad present
and accounted for.

'Second squad present
and accounted for.'

All present
and accounted for, sir.

Very well.

Attention!

Any man here
who can handle a car?

Take two paces forward.

Take charge.
Follow me.

Alright, here's your car.
Now, push it down to the dump.

Come on. Snap into it!

Come on. Give it gas.

Can you hear me?

I don't see why we got to
keep sweepin' these streets.

They look
pretty clean to me.

I don't know what you're
complaining about.

I think it's swell.

I mean, dumpin' garbage
and sweepin' streets.

Great trainin'.
Great trainin'.

- For what?
- Sweepin' streets.

'Eyes..'

...right!

- Henry Ward?
- 'Yes, sir.'

- James Butler.
- 'Yeah.'

Assigned USS California.

- Wilber Mullin?
- Here, sir.

- 'Chester O'Connor?'
- Here, sir.

Assigned USS Arizona.

The first break I've got
in this broom-pushin' outfit.

The time you spent here
90 days have been short.

And the lessons many.

We hope you remember them.

And we hope that you bring
credit to the station.

And now, goodbye,
good luck and a pleasant cruise.

- Take charge, sir.
- Aye aye, sir.

There's a guy named Martin
on the Arizona.

And I've gone all through this
to catch up with him.

And here it is. Oh-ho-ho.

Attention!

Pick up your bags.

Right and left..

...face!

Forward march!

- All ahoy!
- 'All ahoy.'

Come on side.

USS Arizona
reporting for duty, sir.

Very well.
Messenger!

Yes, sir.

Have the master-at-arms
take charge of this detail.

Take these records
up to the executive officer.

Aye aye, sir.

- Have 'em disembark.
- Disembark!

Take these men to the exec's
office for assignment.

Aye aye, sir.
Pick up your bags

and hammocks and follow me.

- He likes us already.
- Yeah, I think he's cute too.

Say... you got a guy
named Martin on this ship?

- You mean, Chief Martin?
- Yeah.

- He's ashore.
- Oh, that's too bad.

Now I gotta postpone my date
with him until tomorrow.

Alright, thanks.

- Have you got 20 bucks?
- Yeah, sure.

Would you lend it to me?

- Is it for a dame?
- Well, yes. In a way.

Well, then you don't get it.

I ain't gonna be
working like no slave

just to have you
spend it on some twist.

Yeah, I know,
but this is different.

Different my eye.
Look at me.

Just because of a bone and a
hank o' hair... look where I am.

Will you wait a minute
and let me tell you somethin'?

Don't try to
tell me nothin'!

Dames is out of my life.

Now on, every affair
is just gonna be a straw-ride.

Yeah, but this ain't no dame.
It's my mother.

Next week is her birthday,
and I'd like to surprise her

with a set of false teeth.

If I knew her size I can order
'em here and send 'em to her.

But the doctor said
she gotta have 'em

because she
gotta eat, uh, meat.

Well, that's different.

I never knew
you had a mother.

Well,
everybody's got a mother.

Oh, yeah? Well, here.

- For mama.
- Thanks.

I wish they'd give us
ladders in the navy.

No, no, no,
no, no, no.

What do you think this is?
An excursion boat?

- Come on! Leap out.
- Oh! Oh!

- Martin!
- Well, if it ain't you.

Well..

...I've been waitin'
90 days for this.

Come on. Now clear
your next ration.

- 'Cause I'm comin' to get you.
- Oh, wait a minute, sailor.

Wait a minute.
Take it easy.

You overlooked one thing.

When you came over that
gangway aboard this ship

all private battles stop.
Now, when I'm ashore

I'll gladly accommodate you
by takin' off this coat

and settlin'
our little fight.

And when you're aboard,
remember, you're in the navy

and I'm your senior officer.
Now, rise and shine.

And after this when you address
me, treat me with respect.

Now, pick that up!

Find a hand or two and go on
up and manicure the deck.

And from now on,
call me mister.

Now I know why they
had us sweepin' streets

at the training station.

This ain't no broom
but it's the same motion.

Yeah. They got us
in trainin' to be janitors.

Anyway, I'm glad
we got liberty tonight.

The first thing I gotta do
is send my old lady

the dough for a chopper.

- Is my brother on-board?
- Yes, Miss Martin.

He's up on deck somewhere.

- Messenger, locate Martin.
- Thank you.

Holy smoke. Look at that
trim lines on that destroyer.

Ain't that just my luck.

She would come aboard

and me with
the ugliest part of me nude.

Now, when are you
gonna stop being a sucker?

Why don't you profit
by my experience

and lay off of them dames?

Why? Did one of 'em
do you wrong?

Listen, fella, I had a piece
of silk take me for a joyride

keep me flat broke,
get me beat up

and then thrown out
of my job in the bargain.

Alright. That's what I certainly
call once over light.

And then to add
insult to injury

she ties up with the guy who put
the lug on me. Biff Martin.

That's why I ain't gonna have
anything to do with 'em anymore.

I don't blame you for bein' sore
and only goin' for the pickups.

He couldn't have done it
if that dame hadn't distracted

my attention. Hit me
when I wasn't lookin'.

Big game guy!

- Hello, Biff.
- Hello, Dot.

Well, there's somethin'
that'll curl your hair.

Pipe that!

Hello, kid. Gee, I'm glad to see
you. What're you doin' aboard?

Oh, I had to go
to work this afternoon

I wanted to see you
'bout somethin' important.

What's that guy got anyway?

Guess what the doctor ordered as
far as the dames is concerned.

Ah, you're full
of canal water.

You can pick up fleabags
like that easier than

you can pick up lint
on a blue suede suit.

I'm tellin' you,
I knew a guy up in Seattle..

Excuse me a minute.

Alright.
Lay off the speaker's table.

Bend down on those brushes.

Yeah, he's just tellin' me
he knows a fellow in Seattle.

Come on. Get goin'.

Oh, yeah.

Hey... you say that dame
was hard to get?

Why, she even looked at us
like we was a couple of boots.

Uh-huh. Hey, sailor,
tell me somethin'.

Where does that dame
hang out? That one there.

She works at the telegraph
office over in town.

Uh-huh. That's a break
for you and your old lady too.

Why?

'Cause mama gets
the money for her choppers

wired to her tonight.

Awfully sorry
to have kept you waiting.

Not too sorry.

- Did you want to send a wire?
- Yeah, uh..

How much would it cost to wire
a party in Walla Walla?

- Twenty bucks?
- That's in Washington.

326 Summer Street,
my mother, huh..

That'll be exactly, uh,
$24.61 including tax.

Oh, that's tough.
We got only 22 bucks between us.

Well... we'll have to mail
it to your old lady

next time
we come ashore.

- I'm awfully sorry.
- Oh... forget it.

- Sure, forget it.
- Say, uh..

Weren't you
on our ship today?

- Mm-hmm.
- Then don't you remember us?

Sure, you remember him.

That's the guy with the quarter
and three trophies. Like that.

I'm sorry,
but I have to close up now.

That's the third time
you've been sorry.

'Maybe you're sorry
we came in.'

Maybe I am.

Say, uh,
why don't you go

and pick up those
botany books at the library?

Sure.

Well, uh... suppose
you weren't sorry, then what?

Oh, nothing. I suppose
I'd walk home just the same.

- Alone?
- Why, I always walk home alone.

That's all
I wanted to hear.

Now, look, this is just
supposin', say just supposin'.

Supposin' some nice guy
was to ask you to walk you home.

What would you say?

I suppose I'd say... no.

Oh, like that, huh?
Now, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Here.

Well, uh, if you didn't let
a guy walk home with you..

...I don't suppose you think
of giving him your phone number.

I certainly wouldn't.

Well, if you, in case you did,
I mean, this is just in case.

It wouldn't be San Pedro,
uh, let's say, uh, 3-1-4-2.

No, not if you wanted
to get me it wouldn't.

How come?

Because my phone number's
San Pedro 9-6-9-7.

Aha. "San Pedro 9-6-9-7."

I don't suppose if a guy came
over on liberty tomorrow night

he'd, uh, have
any chance of calling ya?

Well, where do you
suppose he'd call

at the office
or at the house?

Why?

Because I'm not working
tomorrow night.

Well, I was just thinking
that the navy landing

is so close
to the telegraph office

I, uh, wouldn't
have to use a phone

I could just
holler over.

Well, uh, here's where
I live. Goodnight.

Oh, now, wait a minute, kid.
Wait a minute. Hey!

Say, uh... how's the chance
of stopping in

and, uh,
picking up a pencil?

Oh, I'm sorry, I-I keep
all my pencils at the office.

Well, uh, there wouldn't be
any harm in my stopping in

and, uh, having a cup of coffee
with your old man, would there?

No. No, there wouldn't be
any harm in that.

Well, then it's alright..

- Well, not tonight.
- Why not?

You see, papa doesn't
live here anymore.

Oh, hey, miss, hey!

Hey, uh,
in case I wanna call

just in case...
who do I ask for?

If you want me,
ask for Dorothy.

Alright,
Dorothy, goodnight.

Goodnight.

Did you ask her, if she had
a girlfriend for me?

"Girlfriend?"

Just the one,
just the one.

All you got to do is whistle.
Whistle right there!

Oh, gettin' fussy, huh?
Wait a minute.

* La la la rum pum pum **

Oh, hello there.
How are you?

Hey, hiya, baby.
Oh, yeah, I'm swell.

Say, uh, where are
we going later?

Oh, let's go out
anyplace tonight.

I have dinner
on the stove.

Wouldn't you like to come up
for a nice home cooked meal?

Ha ha! Well, I..

She asks will I go
to dinner there tonight?

Try and give me a way,
I'll be there in a half hour.

Yeah, half hour.

Alright, baby. Bye-bye.

- What's doin'?
- It's all over the shoutin'.

Me and her is having dinner at
her place, and we're stayin' in.

Did you ask her if she had
a girlfriend for me?

Oh! I didn't think of it.

Ain't that funny? You always
forget to ask that.

Yeah, that's right,
but I promise

next time I will.
I promise you that.

Say, listen, you got any-any
of that, uh, 20 bucks left?

Oh, sure.

Well, uh, can you
slip me ten of it?

Mm-hmm.

- Attaboy.
- My mother's choppers.

Oh, that's alright, you can
write her and tell her to stay

on the oatmeal for another week.
It's okay. Come on.

I hope I'm not
keeping you waiting.

- That's up to you, baby.
- Me?

Yeah! Come on over here

and I'll tell you
all about it. Come on.

- What?
- Come here.

Oh, I can't, Chesty.
I have to watch dinner.

Oh, come on,
sit down.

I'm sorry,
Chesty. No!

What?

- I guess it's my fault.
- What is this?

I suppose it-it looked like
just what you thought.

'When I invited you
up here tonight.'

You're kidding.

Chesty, I, I did
wanna like you

but I guess we both
had the wrong idea.

You'd better be going.

Well..

...if you're on the level
it's okay with me.

I can't
shove off fast enough.

Goodnight.

Oh!

So you're tryin'
to give me a fast exit?

Well..

You know, this is funny.

I don't usually go
so far on a dame.

Don't you think
you owe me an apology?

Yeah, sure.
And if you'll..

..Show me how to make one
and tell me what to say

I'm glad to do it.

- I'm sorry.
- "I'm sorry."

- Dorothy.
- "Dorothy."

Alright, heh.

Now, I'll say it again.

I'm sorry,
very sorry, Dorothy.

- Was that hard?
- No.

In fact, it isn't enough.

You know you're one
of the swellest gals

I've met in my life.
I'm a chump.

So from now on
anythin' you wanna ask

to even things up,
you just name it.

Chesty, that's the sweetest
apology a girl ever got.

And it's all the nicer
'cause you made it yourself.

Mm.

The potatoes.

Cheaters!

- Burned bad?
- Well, not too badly.

Oh, there's the bell, Chesty.

Will you answer it, please?

Mm-hmm.

What do you want here?
How dare you, Biff?

Get up, on your pins,
sucker, get up!

I'm up.

- Biff, Chesty..
- Keep out of this, sis.

- Keep out of it!
- Let him alone.

I invited him
up here.

- You invited him up here?
- What's this schmuck to you?

My brother! Now, will you
both try to be gentlemen?

- Your brother?
- Yes, her brother!

Biff, let him alone.
I'm ashamed of both of you.

You might have
a little respect for me.

Oh, come on. We'll finish
this downstairs!

That's alright with me.

Biff, if you go out there,
I'll never speak to you again.

Well, okay, quiet down,
I'll stay. But you get this!

I'm not goin' canary on you.
I'm tryin' to give her a break.

If I ever get you within eight
blocks of this place, I'll go

to work on you. And I
won't fool around about it.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah!

Well, I'll see
Dorothy whenever I like

and as often as I like.

And nobody's
gonna stop me see.

Sorry, kid.

But your company
spoiled my appetite.

Hard-headed
little wharf frat.

Biff, won't you
listen to me?

Sure, I'll listen
to you, if you can give me

half a reason
why you invited him up here?

Because I enjoy
his company.

Honest, Biff, you'd get a great
kick out him, if you knew him.

Know him?

I know him
well enough to know that

he's not fit
company for you.

What is it you have against him
that makes you hate him so?

Well, plenty.

I met him in Seattle,
and I had a scrap with him

in a cheap dance hall where
decent people shouldn't go.

What were you
doing there?

Well, I, uh,
I was gonna meet..

How did I know what the place
was like, till I got inside?

Well, that's beside
the point anyway.

Now, look, Biff,
tomorrow on board ship

I want you
to apologize to him

and, and invite him
back to dinner.

I want you to be friends.

Sure, I'll send him
a gold watch and chain too.

Do I look that daffy?

Now, listen, Dot..

...I never tried to tell you
what to do, did I?

Well, you heard what I told him
at the door, and it still goes.

I don't want you
to see him again.

I'll see him
as much as I want.

No matter what
you say or think.

I like him,
and, and I hope he likes me.

Well, I gotta
hand it to you.

Out of all the guys
in the navy, you pick him up.

Hey, O'Connor, telegram.

Oh, thanks.

What is it?
A telegram?

Well, how do you
like that?

You mean, they didn't spell
liberty right?

It's from my girl, you dope.
She wants to see me tonight.

It's important! How am I
gonna get off ship?

Ask.

Uh, I had liberty
last night.

Well, show them
the telegram.

Say, that's an idea.

Well, just because it comes
from you, I don't like it.

I thought you was the guy,
that was gonna give

dames the quick shuffle.

Well, I can change
my mind, can't I?

Or has that privilege been
taken away from me too?

Oh, it's okay.

Only, I let you
talk me into the idea

that we was gonna pick
him up, play, and run.

Yeah, you're just one of those
guys that would acquiesce.

- Huh?
- Acquiesce. Agree.

Become a partner to,
give it the nod.

You mean, say yes.

Oh, here I am,
wasting time

at a moment like this.

I've got another idea.
Wait a minute.

Wait a minute!
Wait a minute! Will you?

Wait a minute. Hey!

Wait a minute.

Hey, wait a minute!

'Hey, wait a minute.'

Beg your pardon, sir.

I'd like special
liberty tonight, sir.

- It's very important.
- You rate liberty?

No, uh,
but my girl needs me.

I just got this
wire from her.

Well, this doesn't seem
very imperative.

But if you can
get relief..

...and the master-at-arms
gives you a clean ticket

I have no objections
to your going.

- Aye aye, sir.
- Oh, Mark.

Yes, sir.

This man wants
special liberty.

Got this telegram from
his girl. What about it?

Well, this man's
a liberty hound, sir.

I'd like to see him
kept aboard.

Special liberty
not granted.

Aye aye, sir.

O'Connor?

Listen, cinderhead.

I thought I told you
to keep away

from my sister,
didn't I?

Or will I have to slug you
to make to savvy?

You and your whole navy
couldn't keep me away from her.

- What do you think of that?
- Well, listen, sailor.

You ain't gonna see her tonight.

- No?
- No!

What makes you think so?

Because, Romeo,
I'm puttin' you on

the fo'c'sle watch
from eight to twelve.

Oh, yeah?

Well, alright, leatherpuss.

And I'll be on your neck
from 12 o'clock on.

You look sore.

I almost think
you didn't get it.

Well, I didn't.

Besides, Martin put me
on watch for the tonight.

Well, can't you
do somethin'?

Like, uh,
talk to the admiral.

I'm gonna do plenty.

Me and this man's navy are
parting company for good.

I never wanna see
water again!

Don't wanna see
one of these battlewagons.

You ain't hintin' that you're
gonna swim ashore, are ya?

I'm going just the way I came,
in a liberty boat.

And if you don't believe me...
come and watch.

Hey, cookie. You got
liberty tonight, ain't you?

Sure, yes.

- Wanna make some dough?
- How much?

Three bucks
for your liberty card.

I would like to obligate you,
Mr. Chesty.

- But I've got a date.
- Well, I'll make it five.

That's an awful lot of dough
for one night's liberty.

Doggone!
I almost come.

But I-I just can't
disappoint my honey.

- She won't be disappointed.
- Yes, she will.

Well, look,
I'll make it ten bucks.

- Look, got ten bucks on you?
- Got my hand right on it.

- I knew what was coming.
- Hey, hello.

Nice new crisp
ten dollar bill all for you.

'What do you say?'

You know this thing,
does things to me.

I-I guess you got me.

Listen, Chesty, if my mother
don't get those China teeth

she'll lose her job
as well as her health.

- What's her racket?
- She sings in a choir.

- Can't she hum?
- "Hum?"

Yeah, hum. Tell her to hum until
we break our next crap game.

Hum, hum, hum.
That's alright.

* Hum hum hum *
* Hmm *

* Hum hum hum *

I like it hum, hum.

* Hum hum hum *

* Hum hum hum *
* Hum hum hum *

* Hum *
* Hum **

All up.
All the liberty party.

'Attention!'

Open ranks. March!

'Front rank, about face!'

- What do you got there?
- Shoes, sir.

Alright, remember, men.
Liberty expires at midnight.

- Yes, sir.
- Ha ha ha.

'Liberty expires on
the dock at midnight.'

'Nice work, Chesty!'

Hello!

Hey! Hello, baby.
It's me, Chesty.

Oh, my gracious, not even
your own mother would know you.

Yeah, I know, I had to smear
this stuff on my face

so I could get ashore.
Come on, tell me what's up?

Well, it's Biff,
he's tryin' to make me

promise not to
see you anymore.

Oh, yeah?

Look, uh, let's go some place,
I'll wash this stuff

off my face, we'll talk
it all over, come on.

Well, uh, supposin' I got
a job in some other place..

...would you come?

Are you going
to be transferred?

No. I'm quitting
the navy tonight.

You're just
foolin', Chesty.

No, I'm not kiddin'.
I mean it.

- I know what's wrong with you.
- What?

You're just sore, 'cause
you can't get even with Biff.

You're taking it out
on the navy.

Well, I'll admit
that's part of it.

But I don't like
the rest of it either.

You can take the navy
and put it right in your eye.

The only way
to get me back in there

is by sending me
back in a box.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Come on,
tell me what is it?

Chesty, I just
can't like a deserter.

I never dreamed
you were a quitter.

I ain't quittin'.
I don't like the navy.

That enough for ya?

It is for me.

I'm tired.
Let's go home.

- Am I being a chump again?
- Not yet.

But you will be,
if you run away.

Alright, I quit.

I'll go back to the ship
and stick it out.

Oh, honest?
Will you promise, Chesty?

- I'd promise you anything.
- Oh.

'Hey, mister.'

Oh, go away, will ya?
Go away!

The $2 bill you gave me
is all ridden out.

'But the crowd out there..'

...passin' the hat to keep you
riding all night.

Is it okay?

Come on..

And, Biff, I want to know
if you'll shake hands?

"And, Biff... I want you to know
if you'll shake hands?"

I'll forget the past,
and try to be friends.

What's more, I'll-I'll try
to be a better sailor.

Now, wait a minute,
that last.

Sounds kinda abracadabra,
you know, la-dee-da. So..

Well, um, then I'll,
I'll watch myself

and-and try to be
a credit to the ship.

Alright. I'll say that.

Oh, Chesty,
I'm proud of you.

Listen, I want you to know

I wouldn't do it for nobody else
in the world but you.

Nobody but you.

Oh, honey.

Wait!

- Goodnight, baby.
- Now, don't forget.

I won't.

Night again.

Hey, skipper.

Listen, I jumped ship
and I wanna get back.

Will you take me out
for a couple of bucks?

Sure, but it'll
cost you three.

- Alright, let's go.
- Alright, Bob, shove off!

How're you gonna get back
on board if you jump ship?

You know, it's much
tougher getting back on

than it was getting off.

It's a tough rap.

You're liable to get about
ten days in a brig for this.

Hey, do me
a favor, will you?

Yes, sure.

When we get
close to the ship

slow down and switch off
your lights.

- You do that?
- Yeah, sure.

O'Connor? O'Connor?

Yes, sir.

Mullins, what
are you doing here?

I'm on watch.

See, Chesty wasn't
feeling very well.

As a matter of fact, he was
sick, and he said to me..

He said, uh, Droopy,
he said, uh..

...he wasn't
feeling very well.

You feel fine,
don't you?

You don't make
a very good liar, Droopy.

Yes, sir. No, sir.

- I know where he is.
- What'll I do?

Stay on watch
till you're relieved

I got some watching
to do myself.

Alright, Bob, slow down.

Help! Help! Man overboard.

- 'Man overboard.'
- Man overboard!

Man overboard.
Port side!

Man overboard.
Port side!

'Help! Help!'

Man overboard!

Lower away... together!

Is there anything
I can do to help?

Yes, keep out
of the way!

Who is it?

I hope it's who I think.

Aha! It is.

What happened?

I, uh... I was aiming to get
in the side

when my foot slipped and I fell,
fell into-fell into the water.

Yeah! Your foot
slipped, alright.

Well, steward, you
brought this on yourself

and you're gonna be
put on the report

for being absent
without leave.

'Ahoy, Arizona.'

'Did that dumb sailor who just
jumped off this speed boat'

'get aboard alright?'

Okay. Skipper,
we got him.

Alright. Okay.

- What's your name?
- Chester O'Connor.

- Seaman second class.
- Man is AWOL, sir.

Furthermore, he jumped
his watch tonight

let another man
substitute for him.

O'Connor, that's
a very serious offense.

You're restricted to this ship.

Awaiting action
of the commanding officer.

Aye aye, sir.

Martin... you've been
called here to testify

in the case
of Seaman O'Connor

who is charged with leaving
the ship without authority

on the night of April 2nd.

Also, on the same night
of leaving his station and duty

without proper authority.

Tell the court
what you know of the case.

I was on duty the night
in question, sir.

And I had assigned
Seaman O'Connor

to the eight to twelve
fo'c'sle watch.

On inspection,
I found that he'd gotten

Seaman Mullins to stand
his watch for him.

'Well, I immediately
searched the ship'

'and found O'Connor
was not aboard.'

About... 1 o'clock
in the morning..

...I was standing on
the fo'c'sle deck..

...when a shore boat
came close under the bow

and I heard a splash.

'Shortly afterwards'

I heard a man yell,
"Man overboard."

We found the man
to be O'Connor.

'However, sir,
he did not fall overboard'

'from the fo'c'sle deck'

because... the only two
on the fo'c'sle deck were..

...Seaman Mullins
and myself.

Does the accused desire
to make a statement?

Yes, sir.

Martin has had in for me
for a long time.

And he's making
this thing worse

just to make
a chump of me.

Well, go ahead
and sentence me.

But when it's all over,
I'm gonna get off this wagon

I don't like the sea
and I never have.

I want to go into some other
branch of the service.

- But as for you, gumshoe--
- 'Silence!'

O'Connor, you are only
making yourself liable

for further discipline.

Odley, take charge
of the prisoner.

Aye aye, sir.

Halt!

Left face.

I have a court martial
to be published, sir.

Very well.

O'Connor... uncover!

O'Connor, the court before
which you were tried

has found you guilty.

And this is the sentence
of the court.

"To be confined
to the limits of the ship

"for a period of two months

'"and to lose $24 per month
of your pay'

'"for a period of three months.'

'"Total loss of pay
amounting to $72.'

'"Signed by all members
of the court.'

"Approved by
the commanding officer

and the immediate
superior in command."

Master-at-arms,
take charge of O'Connor.

Aye aye, sir.

Division, dismissed.

That's too bad, Chesty.
That's really too bad.

Now, listen, O'Connor..

...I'm sorry about that.

Now, wait
a minute, hothead.

You've been in this outfit
long enough to know that

what I did was strictly
in the line of duty.

Any trouble between
you and my sister

and me has got
nothing to do with it.

On board ship, I do my duty
just as I see it.

But you get
this through your skull..

...I'm no squealer.

Alright, gangway.

No, he's no squealer.

So that's the way
they do it in navy, huh?

Shipmates... well,
if that's the way it goes

I don't wanna have anymore
to do with any of it.

And that goes for the whole
outfit and everybody in it.

You're nothing
but a lot of whipped dogs

boot-licking
a flock of mugs in uniform

who push you all like
a lot of rag dolls.

A wrong guy.

Oh, sure, sure.

Will you guys wouldn't laugh?

If you could hear
my mother sing this song

in Walla Walla.

I can see her now,
sittin' in a rocking chair

waiting for me
to come home.

And as I step into
the door, she'd say--

'Drunk again.'

Nice.

* Where we can
be all alone.. **

To show you how
that song gets me.

Once I heard a mother
singing it to her kid

while she was feedin' it.

You know what it made me
feel like doing?

Havin' a baby.

Why did those guys
leave when I came in?

I've been tryin'
to learn the words

to that song
for eight years.

I know one mistake
I've been makin'.

Instead of singin'..

* Sweet violets
of early spring *

I've been singin'..

* Sweet peas on
a furly string **

I asked you... why did
those guys get up

and leave when I came in?

You know what
I'm thinkin' of doin'?

I'm gonna have it
tattooed on me.

Then it'll stay with me.

Answer me!
Why did they leave?

I don't wanna tell
you, Chesty.

Come on!

Well, they got
thumbs down on you.

They think
you're a wrong guy.

Because of that speech
I gave 'em?

Yeah.

They like the navy.

Well, if that's the way
they feel about it

it's alright with me.

Further, they stay away from me,
the better I'll like it.

And that goes!

* Oh promise me that
some day you and I **

Oh, darling.

Oh, wait a minute. Hello.

Oh, my sweetheart!

* Sweet violets
of early spring *

* Oh promise me
that someday you and I.. **

Baby.

Oh, not here.
Biff will see us.

Oh, I'm glad
to see you. Seems ages.

Here, sit down.

Well... what do you think
of that big brother of yours?

For what?

For what he did to me when I
took your advice

and came back
to apologize.

Well, I'm certainly
not proud of you, Chesty

for what you said
after the summary.

Well, why they want to
give me such a stiff role for?

Lots of guys go AWOL, and... get
extra duty for only one day.

Oh, but you
jumped your watch.

Well, I did it because
I wanted to see you.

Oh, but I don't want
you to neglect your duty

no matter how much
I wanna see you.

Well, whatever I did,
he shouldn't have turned me in.

Oh, he had to do it,
Chesty. It's his duty.

He's sick about it.

What're you always
stickin' up for him for?

Well, he's the only one
I have left in the world.

Naturally, I defend him
because I love him.

Well, maybe you don't need
nobody else.

Don't talk like that.

Well, if he's such
a big shot with you

maybe I'm wasting your time.

- Do you really feel that way?
- Yeah, certainly.

If he's head man

I may as well bow out
of the picture.

Whatever made you
think you're in it?

Oh... so it's one
of those things, huh?

Anyway,
I wouldn't marry you

not while you're still
a second class seaman.

Hmm. A snob.

Why don't you wait
till you're asked?

Oh, what's the use
of prolonging it?

If this ends it.
At least, let's part friends.

Yeah, sure.

It's been nice.

You can't even be
a good sport, can you?

Oh, go on home, will ya?

- You've said your piece.
- Not all of it.

I'm gonna tell you something
though you don't deserve it.

You've signed up for four years.

And you'll spend them
either on board a ship

or in naval prison

but you'll still spend
your four years.

Go on, blow. Will you blow?

And how you spend
them depends on you.

You certainly started out wrong.

Oh, you can fool a CPO,
you can annoy a captain

you might even
trouble an admiral.

But there's one thing neither
you nor anybody else can do.

And that's whip the navy.

Everything alright?

That's fine!

All hands take stations,
we're getting underway.

- Anchor's aweigh.
- Anchor's aweigh, Bridge.

I don't see why we
gotta wash this thing.

It's comin' right
out of the water.

- Gotta wash the germs off it.
- 'For what?'

You gotta use it in the
officers' mess to crack nuts.

Bugler, sound General Quarters.

'Aye, Aye, sir.'

Fire range, 18000.

High range, 17800.

Coming on the range.
One minute to go.

Alright, boys, remember
we're out for the fleet record.

Let's go!

Stand by!

Go!

- Three.
- Three.

- Four.
- Four.

- Ready one.
- Ready two!

Forty three!

- Three.
- Three.

- Four.
- Four.

And five.

Ready..

Alright. Ready! Check!

Ready, one!

Go!

'Watch it, men.
Strong back step today.'

Comin' to you.

'Hey, hey!'

Fire, fire!

Control! Control!
Fire in gun room, number 17.

Stations! Stations!

- 'Gimme that!'
- Close those pits!

Don't turn those on!

Get O'Connor outta here!

- How do you feel, Chesty?
- Alright, kid.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Well, you certainly
are a big shot.

You wanna hear what
the guys are sayin' about you?

Yeah. What did they say?

Well, they think
you're a swell fella.

And you must be a great guy
to risk your life

to save all those men..

...and, uh, you're
an amazing character.

'You're gonna be recommended
for a decoration.'

Yeah, bull!

I'm the same guy
to give the go-by to, ain't I?

'Well, they gave it to me once
and I don't wanna have'

no truck with them now.

I did it to save myself.

And I want them to know that.

You oughtn't to feel
that way, Chesty.

You're gonna get
a medal and everything!

Times up.

Take good care
of yourself, Chesty.

And do everything they tell ya.

Mm-hmm. Not much chance
of doing anything else.

How about it?
Is he convalescing?

Not while I was in there.

What'd he say when you told
him the boys were all for him?

It ain't fit to be repeated.

I get it.

'Hut!'

- 'Ten.'
- 'Hut!'

All hands up, sir.

Seaman second class,
C.J. O'Connor.

Front and center.

Sir, Seaman O'Connor
is present to be decorated.

Publish the honor.

Salute.

To.

"The secretary of the navy,

Orders are published, sir.

O'Connor..

...it gives me great pleasure

to join with the navy department

in commending you
on your conspicuous courage.

My congratulations
and best wishes.

Thank you, sir.

Prepare.

'Station officers take charge.'

Dismiss divisions.

Division dismissed!

Chesty, let me congratulate you.

I'm glad I know ya!

Not many guys got
one of them things.

I'm not envious, mind ya

but I certainly wish I had one.

- You like it?
- Oh, sure!

Alright.

It's all yours.

Now... you feel like a hero?

Ah, what are you crabbin' about?

You oughta be tickled to death.

Ah, what is it?

Nothing, but a tin novelty
I can buy

in any hockshop
for a dime a dozen.

And what did I get it for?
For getting my eyebrow singed.

It's a two bucks a month that
goes with it that interest me.

So here, send it out to your
mama with my compliments.

O'Connor is a good man,
but I guess

he needs a change of scenery.

But he's already asked
for a transfer of duty

to Lighter-than-Aircraft, sir.

Oh! Well, I'll see
if I can help it along.

You sent for me, sir?

O'Connor, I've received orders
from the Bureau of Navigation

detaching you from this ship.

You're ordered for duty
to Lighter-than-Aircraft.

I hate to see you go

but you seem to be
headed for wrong in this ship.

The navy tries
to make men, not break them.

You've got the stuff.

I wish you a happy cruise
at Sunnyvale.

Thank you, sir.

It's the first break I've had

since I've been
in this man's navy.

The next break you
get'll be your neck.

Don't you kid yourself!

Neck was gonna be Biff Martin.

First I meet that guy,
I'm sure gonna break

every bone in his skull.

I've heard that so many times,
it's gettin' to be a monopole.

- A what?
- You know.

- One guy talkin' to himself.
- Oh.

- Look, Chesty.
- Yeah?

Would you like
to make a nice gesture?

- Oh?
- Well..

My mother ain't got
her false teeth yet.

And like I was tellin' ya,
her choir singing job

ain't so secure.

Okay, kid, here.

Here's ten..

...ten, twenty bucks.

Buy your mother a nice
new set of porcelain fangs

and dedicate
the upper plate to me.

And I wish I could
be there for the openin'.

Look, uh, I, uh..

I got something for ya.

- Oh, yeah? What?
- Yeah, well..

You might not like it, but..

...I think you'll appreciate it.

Because it is nice.

Aw..

'Now, why'd you wanna
go to all that trouble for?'

'Well, if you don't like it, you
can make a calendar out of it.'

'You know, there's one
very nice thing about it?'

There's no doubt
in your mind as to who its from.

'Phone for you, Chesty.'

- I'll be right there, kid.
- I'll take the bag, Chesty.

Alright.

Well, there goes your hero.

Gonna say goodbye to him,
you better do it now.

He won't speak to me, Biff.

Give him this.

- Goodbye, old pal.
- Bye, Droopy.

The old ship ain't
gonna be the same without ya.

It couldn't be any worse.

So what's the matter?
You got a cold?

No, uh, it's my voice.

- I think it's changing.
- Oh.

Boy, I certainly wish
I was goin' with ya.

Oh, you'll be alright. But look,
uh, don't forget what I told ya.

- Alright.
- Alright.

O'Connor.

I never had any man
go over the side

for the last time
without being friends.

Come on, what do you say?

Okay, hothead, if that's
the way you feel about it.

Here, that's for you.

- So long, Chesty.
- 'So long, Chesty.'

So long, Chesty.

Hardhead..

How you gonna figure
a guy like that?

Whoo, switch!
What are you two guys?

- A couple of violets?
- Oh, mind your own business.

- 'So long, Chesty.'
- 'Goodbye, Chesty.'

There's a lug for your whiskers.

I get a letter
from a pal of mine.

He tells me about everything,
but the ship.

- What a mug!
- What do you expect?

- Those sailors are all dumb.
- Oh, is that so?

Listen, I want you to know
those boys on the Arizona

are the best in the world.

Well, all except one.

All present
and accounted for, sir.

Very good.

Oh. I always do this.

- Left rudder.
- Left rudder, sir.

- Steady.
- Steady, sir.

Wind seems a bit gusty.

I think we can make it, though.

This old bag's gonna have
a tough time landing today.

Well, I better get the hatch
ready for dropping those trails.

- Okay.
- Open it up!

You said it, that wind
is gettin' stronger.

Mm-hmm.

Those ground monkeys
better watch themselves.

- We'll try it.
- Aye, aye, sir.

- Steady as you go.
- Steady as you go, sir.

- Come left.
- Come left, sir.

- Drop the trail.
- Drop the trail, sir.

File is dropping.

We've got to make
another approach.

Aye, aye, sir.
Full right rudder.

Full right rudder, sir.

Stand clear!

Look at that monkey hang on.

Let go, you chump. Let go!

There's a man
on our starboard trail, sir.

- Drop the ladder.
- Up the elevator, sir.

We can't drag that man
through the trees.

Don't touch that rope.

I don't know how long he's
gonna be able to hang on, sir.

Well, I can get down the rope
and get that man, sir.

I have only one man
to worry about now.

If you go down,
I'll have to worry about two.

There's nothin'
to worry about, it's easy.

I can't risk it.

Aye, aye, sir.

Steady.

Hey, O'Connor,
what are you gonna do?

I hope he can hang on.

- 'Gangway.'
- Where you goin'?

To pick that guy off that rope.

You're a chump,
you'll break your neck.

Oh, I'll try it anyway.

- 'Well, good luck, kid.'
- 'Happy landing.'

Can you hang on another minute?

Well, if it ain't flat foot.

I might've guessed it.

The only guy
in the navy dumb enough

to hang on
at the end of a rope.

I got it.
Put both arms around me.

Both of 'em!

Right?

Alright, one! Here we go.

Two! Three!

We're goin' too fast to suit me.

Hope we make it, kid.

- How are you on bouncin'?
- Oh!

Well, it looks like
O'Connor's joined the navy.

Biff! Oh, Chesty.

'Get back, get back.'

Alright, Chesty,
you stay right where you are.

Dorothy, you get
a little closer.

Chaplain, you stand
on the port side here.

Oh, giving orders, huh?
Who's runnin' this thing?

Remember I'm the lug
that's gettin' married.

And who's the guy that's
givin' her away? I am, ain't I?

And you go on getting
so stick-in-a-fish

then I won't even
marry your sister.

You'll marry her or I'll slug
you with the crutch--

Not the best day you ever lived!

Oh, boys, remember.
This is our wedding day.

Come on, slow down, sailor,
I'm still givin' orders.

Oh, yeah?

Droopy..

Here, catch a loving
glance at that

'and see what it does
to your dignity.'

'"The President
of the United States of America'

'"Know ye that the reposing
special trust in..

'"Chester J. O'Connor,
I due appoint him..'"

'Boatswain!'

'"To be obedient
to his orders.."'

'Hey, this warrant
puts you above me!'

Well, I'm a son of a..

Chesty!

So who's giving orders now?

From now on,
treat me with respect.

And whenever you speak to me..

...call me "mister."

Yes, sir.

If you boys will remain
quiet for just a minute.

We're ready, Mullins.
You may have your mother sing.

- Alright, mom.
- 'Mr. O'Connor.'

Will you take
the hand of your beloved bride?

I'll stand for this.

Hey, gimpy, you think
you could part

with one of your good legs
for just about two minutes?

- Here you are, admiral.
- Can you play, "Oh Promise Me?"

I think so.

Oh, you, rushed me so and I was
so nervous, I forgot the words.

Go ahead, play it
from memory, Herman.

Come on, ma, cheer up.

* Oh promise me that *

* Some day you and I *

* Will take our love together *

* To some sky *

* Where we can be alone *

* And faith renew *

* And find the hollows *

* Where those flowers grew *

* Oh promise me *

* Oh pro.. *

* Me **
