[GUNFIRE]

[SPEAKING CHINESE]

[CROWD CHEERING]

[BAND PLAYING]

ISN'T IT JUST
TOO THRILLING?

WHAT?
THRILLING.

YOU CERTAINLY ARE.

OH.

WELL, WHY DON'T
YOU WAVE AT ALL
THE NICE PEOPLE?

YOU KNOW, I HEARD
YOU CAME BACK

FROM A BATTLE
WITH THOSE SILLY
OLD JAP PLANES

JUST PRACTICALLY
ON ONE WING.

I DID?
MY GOODNESS,

I HADN'T HEARD
THAT ONE.

LOOK AT THAT MUG,
WILL YOU?

SAY, HE'S DOING
ALL RIGHT.

WHERE'D HE FIND
THAT GIRL?

WHY DO I HAVE TO
RIDE WITH YOU?

I WAS THINKING
THE SAME THING.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO MEET A FLYING TIGER.

OH, WE'VE BEEN
OVERRATED.

AT HEART,
WE'RE JUST LIKE
ANY ORDINARY WOLF--

TIGER.

WHAT'S YOUR
OBJECTIVE NOW?

OH, I THOUGHT WE'D
JUST RIDE AROUND
A LITTLE WHILE.

OH, SILLY,
I MEAN THE WAR.

OH, THE WAR.

I'M IN BETWEEN,

TRANSFERRING
TO NAVAL AVIATION.

OH. HOW MUCH TIME
YOU GOT?

10 DAYS.
THAT TIME ENOUGH?

ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT
Y'ALL WANT TO DO, HONEY.

HONEY, YOU-ALL
CHART THE COURSE.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE
TO DO FIRST?

LET ME SEE.

I MEAN, WHERE WOULD
YOU-ALL LIKE TO GO FIRST?

WELL, I'LL--

YOU JUST
SURPRISE ME.

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED.

YOU, UH, YOU HAVEN'T
A ROOMMATE, HAVE YOU?

WHAT? OH, NO.
NO, INDEEDY.

FINE.

WE CAN HAVE
SOMETHING SENT UP--

CHAMPAGNE,
PHEASANT--

NOW, DON'T YOU WORRY
YOURSELF, TIGER,

BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S
BEEN TAKEN CARE OF.

WHAT?
WELL, I JUST--

Woman: I'M
MISS BARR.
I'M MISS MAY.

I'M
SURPRISED.

YOU'RE AT
THE SPEAKER'S TABLE,

WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO
BE THE GUEST OF HONOR.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING]

SO I FOLLOWED
THIS JAP RIGHT DOWN
TO HIS OWN FIELD,

AND HE INVITES ME
TO DINNER.

GO ON.

Man: ATTENTION, MEN.

HERE'S A LITTLE
FURTHER DOPE

ON YOUR ITINERARY.

WE ARRIVE IN SALT LAKE
TOMORROW MORNING,

VISIT THE MORMON TABERNACLE.

THE PARADE WILL SHOVE OFF
AT 12 NOON.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TOUR,
2:00 UNTIL 5:00.

WHEN DO WE EAT?

[WHISTLES]

BANQUET AT 8:30.

LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL HAVE
A PRETTY FULL DAY.

Fred: OUCH.

YEAH, IT SURE DOES.

SAY, HOW LONG
DOES THIS GO ON?

COAST TO COAST.

LETS ME OUT.

HMM, WE'VE STOPPED.

I'LL SEE YOU IN TOKYO.

WHAT DO
YOU GUYS GOT?

3 KINGS.

OH, TAKE IT AWAY.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

HA HA HA!

THAT'S THE WAY
WE USED TO PLAY
IN CHINA.

YEP.

MEN, I'LL BE BACK
IN A MINUTE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

GET BACK ON THIS TRAIN.

OH, I'VE HAD ENOUGH.

WE'VE ONLY GOT
10 DAYS TO HAVE
SOME FUN,

AND THAT BIG PERSONAL
APPEARANCE TOUR

THEY'VE GOT
MAPPED OUT IN THERE

DOESN'T SOUND
LIKE FUN TO ME.

YOU CAN HAVE IT,
BROTHER.

HEY, WE'RE MOVING.

YOU WANT TO GET
LEFT BEHIND?

SURE.

WHY DON'T YOU BE
A MAN AND GET OFF?

THIS IS GREAT!

ARE YOU CRAZY?

YEAH! I'M NUTS!

HEY!

AH!

YEAH, ANY FOOL
CAN SEE IT.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO WIN THIS WAR

OR ANY OTHER WAR,

AND THAT'S WITH MEN
AND BULLETS
AND BAYONETS.

WE GOT TO GIVE THEM
A TASTE OF COLD
AMERICAN STEEL.

THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO,

WHETHER THOSE
POLITICIANS
IN WASHINGTON

LIKE IT OR NOT.

WE GOT TO FIGHT.

BY THE WAY,
HOW DO YOU STAND
IN THE DRAFT?

ME? 4-F.

[SWING MUSIC PLAYING]

GOOD EVENING.

HELLO.

SAY, WHAT KIND
OF PLACE IS THIS?

A NIGHTCLUB.
OH.

TAKE ALL
THE BROADWAY COLUMNS

AND SHAKE OUT
THE NAMES,

AND WHAT DO YOU GET?

THE COLONIAL CLUB.
SEE?

GOT A LIGHT?

YES, SIR.

THANKS.

HA HA! KIND OF GOT
YOURSELF ALL
DRESSED UP,

AIN'T YOU?

YOU AIN'T DOING
SO BAD YOURSELF.

HA HA HA!

NOW YOU'RE HIP.

YES, SIR?
HI.

CAN YOU LOOK
DOWN THE LINE AND STOP

WHEN YOU COME TO
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL?

I'M STOPPED.

YOU KNOW HER NAME?

SURE. JOAN MANION,
PHOTOGRAPHER.

GONNA TAKE PICTURES
HERE TONIGHT.

WHO'S THE CHARACTER
WITH HER?

THAT'S THE GUY
SHE WORKS FOR--

PHIL HARRIMAN,
PUBLISHER OF EYEFUL.

EIFFEL?

EYEFUL. YOU KNOW,
THE HIGH-CLASS
PEEP MAGAZINE.

OH, YEAH, YEAH.

BESIDE HER,
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?

OH, JUST A LITTLE,
UH...

AND PLAIN WATER...

BESIDE HER.

Man: THAT MUST BE
OBVIOUS, MY DEAR.

PHIL, THE WORLD
IS BURNING DOWN,

BUT I HAVE TO STAY HOME
AND TAKE PICTURES

OF CELEBRITIES
IN A NIGHTCLUB.

WHY DON'T I GET TO GO
TO LONDON OR CHINA?

WHY NOT?

SURE, WHY NOT?

I HAVE BRAINS.

I HAVE, UH...

UH, TALENT.

AND BEAUTY.
DON'T OVERLOOK THAT.

OH, YOU CAN'T
SIDETRACK THE ISSUE
WITH THAT PALAVER.

NOW, WHY DIDN'T I GET
SENT OVER THERE?

BECAUSE I LIKE
YOU HERE.

BESIDES,
YOU'RE A GIRL.

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE
WENT TO RUSSIA.

WELL, I DON'T HAPPEN
TO BE IN LOVE WITH
MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE.

FOR A MINUTE,
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO BE ON THE LEVEL.

I MUST BE SLIPPING.

SLIPPERY TIMES.

YOU SAID IT.

OK. I'LL WORK
FOR YOU TONIGHT.

I'LL PHOTOGRAPH
THIS MENAGERIE.

CUTE GIRL.

I LIKE HER.

SHE LIKES ME, TOO.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
MOST WOMEN SEEM
TO LIKE ME.

HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT
FOR THAT?

I SOMETIMES THINK
IT'S BECAUSE I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WOMEN.

DO I KNOW YOU?

NO.

BUT DON'T APOLOGIZE.

HI, FREDDIE.
I WANT TO CATCH YOU
IN ACTION.

THANKS.
THANK YOU.

HELLO, PAMELA.

I'D LIKE TO GET A COUPLE
OF CANDID SHOTS.

YES, CERTAINLY.
YOU KNOW MR. REED?

MISS MANION.

HOW DO YOU DO?
HOW DO YOU
DO?

LET'S SEE.

THAT LOOKS
PRETTY GOOD.

Reed: I BEG
YOUR PARDON.

THIS YOUNG LADY
IS TRYING TO--

WOULD YOU PLEASE?
I'M SURE YOU DON'T MIND.

I MIND VERY WELL.

NOW LOOK WHAT
YOU'VE DONE.

I'M SORRY.
WE'LL TAKE ANOTHER.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JOAN.

OH, SIR CHARLES,
I THINK IT MIGHT
BE BETTER

WITHOUT THE CHAMPAGNE.

OH, QUITE SO.
WARTIME.

MM-HMM.

NOW...GREAT BIG SMILE.

HOW'S THAT?

ALL RIGHT.
HOLD IT, SIR CHARLES.

GEE, THAT WAS A PIP.

PIP?

I'M SORRY, SIR CHARLES.
I'LL HAVE TO GET IT AGAIN.

DO YOU MIND?

OH, QUITE SO.

Joan: MAC, I'D LIKE TO HAVE
A NICE CANDID SHOT OF YOU.

OK? LET'S SEE.

UH-HUH.
NICE, BIG SMILE NOW.

Joan: HELLO.

GOT IT.
THANKS, MAC.

I'LL SEND YOU A PRINT
FOR THE FAMILY.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S ONE FOR YOU
AND ONE FOR ME.

SHALL WE PLAY OFF
THE TIE?

YOU KNOW, PURELY
IN A SOCIOLOGICAL WAY,

YOU INTEREST ME...

A LITTLE.

WELL, IT'S
A BEGINNING,
ISN'T IT?

DON'T GET ME WRONG.

WHAT INTERESTS ME
IS THIS PASSION
YOU SEEM TO HAVE

FOR GETTING
YOUR PICTURE TAKEN.

LET'S TALK IT OVER.

I'LL HAVE
THE SAME, PLEASE.

YOU KNOW, I'M SUPPOSED
TO BE TAKING PICTURES

OF CELEBRITIES.

COULDN'T I
BE THE FELLA

WHO NEVER GETS
HIS NAME MENTIONED,

THE ONE THEY CALL
"A FRIEND,"

YOU KNOW,
"GINGER ROGERS
AND FRIEND"?

UH, IT'S POSSIBLE
BUT EXTREMELY IMPROBABLE.

WHY HAVE YOU INSISTED
ON ANNOYING ME

AND RUINING
MY PICTURES?

I USED TO KNOW
A FELLA ONCE

WHO LIKED TO FLY
A PLANE UPSIDE DOWN.

[WHISTLES]

ME? I LIKE TO HAVE
MY PICTURE TAKEN.

WELL, LOOK AT YOU.

YOU WANT TO GO OVER
AND PHOTOGRAPH

A LOT
OF BURNING BUILDINGS

AND BOMB PITS
AND ALL THAT KIND
OF THING.

YOU'RE CRAZY, TOO.

IT'S DEMOCRACY.

IT'S WONDERFUL.

THANKS. THAT'S ALL
I WANTED TO KNOW.

THAT'S THAT.

I HEREBY INFORM YOU

THAT I PHOTOGRAPHED
MY LAST HIGHBALL.

HAVE ONE?

I SHOULD HAVE STUCK
TO A STAGE CAREER.

COULDN'T BE ANY TOUGHER
THAN GETTING A BREAK
IN THIS BUSINESS.

WANT ME TO GET YOU
A JOB IN THIS CLUB?

YOU THINK I COULDN'T?

AND I DON'T NEED
ANY HELP FROM YOU EITHER.

[MUSIC STOPS,
FOLLOWED BY APPLAUSE]

SHE CERTAINLY DOESN'T.

OH.

FREDDIE, DO ME
A FAVOR.
SURE, JOAN.

I WANT TO DO
SHINING HOUR.

CERTAINLY.

IS SHE KIDDING?

JUST LISTEN.

* THIS WILL BE
MY SHINING HOUR *

* CALM AND HAPPY
AND BRIGHT *

* OOH DO DO DO OOH *

* IN MY DREAMS,
YOUR FACE WILL FLOWER *

* THROUGH THE DARKNESS
OF THE NIGHT *

* OOH DO DO DO
DO DO DO DO DO *

* LIKE THE LIGHTS
OF HOME BEFORE ME *

* OR AN ANGEL
WATCHING O'ER ME *

* THIS WILL BE
MY SHINING HOUR *

* TILL I'M WITH YOU AGAIN *

* THIS WILL BE
MY SHINING HOUR *

* TILL I'M WITH YOU AGAIN *

* LIKE THE LIGHTS
OF HOME BEFORE ME *

* LIKE AN ANGEL
WATCHING O'ER ME *

* THIS WILL BE
MY SHINING HOUR *

* WITH YOU *

KIDDING, HUH?

HERE'S YOUR CAMERA.
I QUIT.

Phil: OH, NOW,
JOAN, JOAN.

YOU TAKE ME
TOO SERIOUSLY

AT THE WRONG TIME.

NOW, HERE'S
YOUR RESIGNATION.

NO.

LOOK, I'M YOUR BOSS,
AND YOU'LL DO
AS I SAY.

NOT ANYMORE.
I'M FINISHED.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT TO DO?

I WANT TO GET
INTO THIS WAR.

I WANT TO SHOW
THE LITTLE GUY
AT HIS WAR JOB.

THAT MIGHT SHOW HUNDREDS
OF OTHER LITTLE GUYS
HOW THEY CAN HELP.

WOMEN AND KIDS, TOO.

FINE. GO AHEAD
AND DO IT.

THEN YOU MEAN I'M
STILL WORKING FOR YOU?

SURE. THAT'S RIGHT,
ISN'T IT?

IF YOU SAY SO.

YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS.

THANKS, PHIL,
AND DON'T WORRY.

I'LL PROVE YOU WRONG.

EVERYBODY DOES.

WELL, IF I'M GOING
TO RUSSIA,

I BETTER HURRY HOME
AND START LEARNING RUSSIAN.

I'LL TAKE YOU.

NO THANKS.
I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

SHE'LL NEVER
LEARN RUSSIAN.

THERE YOU ARE,
MISS MANION,

JUST LIKE YOU LIKE IT.

GOOD.
LIKE SOME
COFFEE?

NO THANKS,
MR. KEIFER.

[WHISTLING]

I USED TO MAKE
A LIVING OFF THOSE THINGS.

YOU AGAIN?

[PINBALL MACHINE RINGING]

PRETTY GOOD LIVING, TOO.

WHO ARE YOU TRYING
TO IMPRESS

WITH THAT
DUDE RANCH OUTFIT?

NOW YOU'VE HURT
MY FEELINGS.

Keifer:
CARE FOR SOMETHING, SIR.

JUST THIS
YOUNG LADY'S CHECK,

IF I MAY.

TWO BITS.

HERE YOU ARE.

THANK YOU.

DON'T TRY TO TELL ME
YOU JUST HAPPENED
TO WALK IN HERE.

I WOULDN'T TRY
TO TELL YOU ANYTHING.

IN OTHER WORDS,
YOU'RE DELIBERATELY
FOLLOWING ME, HUH?

DELIBERATELY.

WELL, WHAT WERE
YOU DOING AT
THE COLONIAL CLUB?

FOLLOWING YOU
DELIBERATELY.

HOW LONG HAS THIS
BEEN GOING ON?

SINCE THE FIRST TIME
I SAW YOU.

MAY I ASK WHY?

YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO THE QUESTION.

WELL, WHY?

WHY?

THAT'S WHAT
I'M ASKING.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DOES A KID
GO AROUND

KICKING A TIN CAN?

WHY DO OWLS
STAY UP SO LATE?

HOW SHOULD I KNOW?
IT'S JUST ONE
OF THOSE THINGS.

WELL, THANKS
FOR THE HAMBURGER.

HELLO.

LOOK HERE,
WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

FRED, UH,
FRED BURTON.

THIS HAS GONE
FAR ENOUGH, MR. BURTON.

OH, NOW, YOU CAN
DO BETTER THAN THAT.

CAN'T A GIRL
WALK ALONG THE--

DO I HAVE TO--
CALL A COP?

A SOPHISTICATED GIRL
LIKE YOU?

YOU'RE NOT A SNOB.
CAN'T I WALK
WITH YOU?

THANKS.

THE WORLD FEELS
PRETTY GOOD
AROUND HERE.

HALF THE WORLD
IS DYING,

AND YOU FEEL
PRETTY GOOD.

DON'T YOU READ
THE PAPERS?

NOPE.

MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO
TRY IT.

DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT THE WAR?

A PIECE OF IT.

JUST NOT
VERY INTERESTED, HUH?

NOT TONIGHT.

NOT THAT I CARE,
BUT WHAT DO YOU DO
FOR A LIVING?

NOTHING
AT THE MOMENT.

WELL, WHAT DID
YOU DO?

OH, VARIOUS THINGS.

LEGITIMATE?

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
RELAX, WILL YOU?

YOU'RE NOT AS TOUGH
AS ALL THAT.

YOU'RE JUST
A LITTLE UNHAPPY

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
DOING WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST
GO AHEAD AND DO IT?

DON'T TEMPT ME.

AFTER ALL, YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE
IN THE WAY

OF WHAT
YOU WANT TO DO.

I THOUGHT THAT
WAS SOMETHING.

LOOK. IT'S A PENNY.

PUT IT IN YOUR SHOE.
IT WILL BRING
YOU LUCK.

MAYBE YOU NEED IT.

OH, NO. I COULDN'T
BE LUCKIER THAN
I AM TONIGHT.

[WHISTLING
MY SHINING HOUR]

SAY, THAT'S NOT
A BAD SONG
YOU SANG TONIGHT,

BUT IT'S LIKE YOU.

IT TAKES ITSELF
A LITTLE TOO
SERIOUSLY.

OH, I SUPPOSE
YOU COULD DO BETTER.

WELL, MAYBE.

THAT I'D LIKE
TO HEAR.

I USED TO
WRITE SONGS.

IF I HAD WRITTEN
THAT ONE,

I'D HAVE MADE IT
A LITTLE LIGHTER,

SOMETHING LIKE...

* THIS WILL BE
MY SHINING HOUR *

* LONELY THOUGH
IT MAY BE *

AND THEN, UH...

* LIKE THE FACE
OF MISCHA AUER *

* ON THE MUSIC HALL
MARQUEE *

OH.

* WERE THEY STINGERS
OR BACARDIS? *

* WAS IT TONY'S?
WAS IT SARDI'S? *

THAT'S THE IDEA.

* THIS WILL BE *

* MY SHINING HOUR *

* TILL I'M
WITH YOU AGAIN *

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

GOOD NIGHT.

[RINGS DOORBELL]

GOOD EVENING.
WELL.

YOU HAVE A ROOM
FOR RENT?

THIS IS A FINE TIME
OF NIGHT

FOR YOU TO BE LOOKING
FOR A ROOM, YOUNG MAN.

WELL, I DON'T
NEED A ROOM UNTIL
I GO TO BED,

AND I DON'T GO
TO BED

UNTIL A FINE TIME
OF NIGHT.

TRY PLANNING YOUR LIFE
A DAY AHEAD SOMETIME.

NO POINT IN IT.
I MAY NOT BE HERE.

YOU MAY NOT BE HERE.
WHO KNOWS?

WELL, I'M SURE
I DON'T.

WELL, WHILE WE'RE
STILL HERE, COME IN.

OH, THIS IS
THE ROOM RIGHT HERE.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND THIS
VERY COMFORTABLE.

IT IS A LITTLE STUFFY
IN HERE.

VERY NICE.

17.50 A WEEK
IN ADVANCE.

THAT'S IN CASE
YOU AIN'T HERE TOMORROW.

I'LL BUY IT.

WHAT MIGHT
YOUR BUSINESS BE?

IT MIGHT BE
ANYTHING.

ANY BAGGAGE?

NO, MA'AM.

OH.

UH, 17.50?

YOU CAN BRING ME
THE CHANGE TOMORROW.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

GOOD NIGHT,
MISS, UH--

FISHER, MRS. FISHER.

OH, I'D LIKE
TO MEET YOUR HUSBAND,

THE LUCKY FELLOW.

YES. SO WOULD I.

HE HASN'T
BEEN WITH ME
FOR 15 YEARS.

LUCKY FELLOW.

DID YOU SAY
SOMETHING?

WHO, ME? NO, MA'AM.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

[WHISTLES]

[WHISTLING
MY SHINING HOUR]

[POTS BANGING]

[SIZZLING]

GOOD MORNING.

OH, COME HERE, WALDO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?

COOKING YOU
BREAKFAST.

I USED TO BE A CHEF.

HOW DID YOU GET
IN HERE?

THE ROOF. LIKE TO
LOOK YOUR EGG
IN THE EYE?

ISN'T THAT A BEAUT?

ONCE OVER LIGHTLY--
NEVER MIND THAT.

YOU DON'T THINK
YOU'RE GONNA GET AWAY
WITH THIS, DO YOU?

I CERTAINLY DON'T.

WELL, YOU CAN'T COME
INTO MY KITCHEN LIKE THAT

OVER THE ROOF
THROUGH MY WINDOW.

NOW, JUST LOOK
AT YOU.

HERE IT IS
A BEAUTIFUL MORNING,

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE,
A BEAUTIFUL
BREAKFAST,

AND THERE YOU STAND.

NOW, JUST LOOK
AT YOU.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH ME?

WELL, FOR ONE THING,
YOUR HAIR.

I CAN'T TELL
WHICH ONE OF YOU
IS WALDO.

THAT GOT HER, WALDO.

ACHILLES HAD A HEEL,
AND WOMEN HAVE
THEIR HAIR.

WHY, MISS JOAN,
YOU'RE LOOKING

PERFECTLY LOVELY
THIS MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

I SUPPOSE YOU KNOW
I COULD HAVE YOU ARRESTED

FOR ILLEGAL ENTRY
INTO THIS BUILDING.

OH, NO.
I LIVE HERE.

YOU WHAT?

I'M JUST
ACROSS THE HALL.

UH, LATER, WALDO.

THAT'S A GOOD BOY.

COFFEE?

THANKS.

WALDO, YOU'RE
A TRAITOR.

[WHINES]

WHAT YOU GOING TO
DO TODAY?

WORK, NATURALLY.

ON A DAY LIKE THIS?

I HAD IT ALL PLANNED
FOR US TO DO THE TOWN.

YOU'RE TOO
THOUGHTFUL
OF OTHERS.

YOU SEE,
YOU OUGHT TO LET ME
MIND MY BUSINESS,

AND I'D BE ONLY
TOO GLAD TO LET YOU
MIND YOURS.

I TOLD YOU.
I HAVEN'T ANY.

OH, I SUGGEST
YOU FIND ONE.

WHY?

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S
AN ECONOMIC
NECESSITY,

THE LAW OF--THE LAW
OF SURVIVAL.

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

IT'S, UH...

OH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING
ABOUT.

I DON'T CARE.

SAY, DIDN'T YOU
EVER WANT TO
ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING?

ISN'T THERE ANYTHING
YOU'VE EVER
WANTED ENOUGH

TO GET OUT AND WORK
AND FIGHT FOR?

EAT YOUR EGG.

WELL, YOU HAVE TO
FIGHT TO GET
ANYTHING.

DON'T YOU
BELIEVE THAT?

NO.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU
BELIEVE?

SOMETIMES YOU
HAVE TO FIGHT
TO KEEP SOMETHING.

I BELIEVE THAT.

WELL, DON'T YOU
HAVE TO GET
SOMETHING

IN ORDER TO KEEP IT?

NO MORE THAN YOU
CAN BE BORN WITH.

WHAT WERE YOU
BORN WITH?

NOTHING MUCH.
FREEDOM MAYBE.

FREEDOM?

YES, LIKE YOU.

FREEDOM FOR ANYTHING,

TO BE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO BE,

SOMEBODY OR NOBODY
IF YOU WANT TO.

ME, RIGHT NOW
I WANT TO BE NOBODY.

I GUESS I DON'T
TELL IT VERY WELL.

YOU'RE NOT
DOING BAD.

WHERE ARE YOU GONNA
START THIS NEW JOB
OF YOURS?

DOWN ON THE DOCKS,
EAST RIVER.

GOOD.

WHY?

WELL, IT'S JUST GOOD,
THAT'S ALL.

ARE YOU GOING TO
LOOK FOR WORK?

FOR YOU, YES.

FOR ME?

WELL, FOR US.

OH, I GIVE UP.

I'VE GOT TO HURRY.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I'D LIKE TO MAKE
A COUPLE OF SHOTS UP HERE.

SURE, MA'AM.

THANK YOU.

YOU--WORKING?

NO LESS.

I TAKE IT ALL BACK.

THEN YOU'LL HAVE
DINNER WITH ME?

WELL, THAT'S
SOMETHING ELSE.

IF YOU DON'T,
I QUIT.

I CAN'T WORK
WITHOUT INSPIRATION.

ALL RIGHT.
CALL FOR ME AT 7:00.

Man: HEY, BUDDY.

YOU LOOKING
FOR A JOB?

Fred: WHY, UH, SURE.

YOU GOT A CARD?
A CARD?

Joan: HEY,
WAIT A MINUTE.

IS THAT MAN
WORKING FOR YOU?

NOT FOR MY MONEY,
HE AIN'T.

YOU SAW ME WORKING.

YOU FAKER, YOU.

WELL, WHAT'S
THE DIFFERENCE?
I'M WORKING.

DO I HAVE TO
GET PAID FOR IT?

YES, YOU DO.

THAT YOUR WIFE?

YEAH. I'M OUT
OF WORK.

SHE FOLLOWS ME
AROUND.

SHE'S DRIVING ME
CRAZY.

I TRIED TO MAKE HER
THINK I'M WORKING

SO SHE'LL
LEAVE ME ALONE.

LADY, YOU HADN'T
OUGHT TO BE THAT WAY.

I'M NOT ANY WAY.
YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS.

JUST TOO BAD
IT ISN'T MY WIFE.

SHE GOT THAT WAY,
SHE'D GET A GOOD BUST
IN THE NOSE.

I CAN'T. SHE'S--
WELL, SHE'S--

WHAT'S HE SAYING
ABOUT ME?

[WHISPERING]
You see,
I've got to be

particularly gentle
and considerate
with her

when she's, uh...

YEAH. AND SOMETIMES
IT MAKES THEM

KIND OF TEMPORARILY
SCREWBALL.

OH, I'M SCREWBALL, HUH?

TAKE IT EASY, LADY.
TAKE IT EASY.

LISTEN, I CAN
GET HIM A CARD

AND PUT HIM TO WORK
RIGHT AWAY.

NOW, YOU TAKE
THE ADVICE

OF A DADDY
OF 8 KIDS.

DON'T LET IT
GET YOU DOWN.

OH!

DON'T PAY
NO ATTENTION, SON.

SOMETIMES WHEN THEY'RE
LIKE THAT,

THEY GET KIND OF
BUG-HEADED.

JUST LEAVE HER BE.

NOW, YOU BRING ME
YOUR CARD

AND A BIRTH CERTIFICATE
AND YOUR DRAFT NUMBER

AND A HEALTH CERTIFICATE
AND AN F.B.I. OK

AND A LETTER
FROM YOUR HIGH-SCHOOL
SUPERVISOR--

THANKS, PAL.

THERE STILL AIN'T
NOTHING LIKE

A GOOD BUST
IN THE NOSE.

[WHISTLING]

OH, I WANTED TO SEE
MISS MANION.

SHE'S IN THE DARKROOM.

THANKS.

IS THAT YOU, HELEN?

TURNED OUT PRETTY WELL,
DIDN'T IT?

DO YOU THINK
I SMILED TOO MUCH?

WHAT?
HELLO.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT THE DARKROOM
WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE

TO PITCH
A LITTLE WOO.

YOU'LL PITCH
NO WOO AT ME.

NOW, GET OUT
OF HERE.

I'LL PITCH WOO,
OR I'LL...
YELL FOR HELP.

YOU WOULDN'T DARE.

OH, WOULDN'T I?

HELP! HELP!
SHH!

HELP! HELP! HELP!

THEY'RE GONNA
HEAR YOU. SHH!

HELP! HELP!
SAVE ME!

Fred: I THOUGHT
I HEARD SOMEBODY
CALLING FOR HELP,

DIDN'T YOU?

Man: I THOUGHT I DID.

Second man:
I KNOW I DID.

SO DID I.

MAY I, UH...

WHATEVER YOU'RE DOING,
STOP IT!

YOU REALLY ARE
CRAZY, AREN'T YOU?

YEAH, BUT IT'S
ALL YOUR FAULT.

MY FAULT?

I'VE BEEN THIS WAY
SINCE THE FIRST TIME
I SAW YOU.

[THUMP]

WHO ARE YOU?

NOBODY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

DON'T YOU
HAVE TO WORK,

OR ARE YOU JUST RICH?

CHURCH MICE
SNUBBED ME.

NO. REALLY.
WHAT DO YOU DO?

NOTHING RIGHT NOW.

I HAVE DONE
A LOT OF THINGS.

IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU HAVEN'T DONE?

OH, A COUPLE OF THINGS,
BUT I'LL GET
AROUND TO THEM.

OH, YOU THINK SO?

DID YOU EVER WORK
FOR A PUBLISHING FIRM?

SURE. I STUDIED
JOURNALISM IN COLLEGE

AND THEN SERVED TIME
ON A CHICAGO PAPER.

SAY, THAT'S
WONDERFUL.

WHAT'S WONDERFUL
ABOUT IT?

WOULD YOU MIND DOING
YOURSELF A FAVOR?

LIKE WHAT?

I WANT YOU TO TALK
TO THE MAN I WORK FOR--
MR. PHIL HARRIMAN--

ABOUT GETTING A JOB.

WILL YOU DO IT?

ON ONE CONDITION.

WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, IF I'VE GOT
TO GO TO WORK,

WE OUGHT TO CELEBRATE
TONIGHT.

PROMISE YOU WON'T
SKIP OUT TOMORROW?

NOT TOMORROW.

I DON'T LIKE THE WAY
YOU SAY THAT,

BUT I'LL AGREE.

FAIR EXCHANGE.

IS MR. HARRIMAN IN?

Woman: NO. HE WON'T
BE IN UNTIL TOMORROW.

I WANT YOU TO MAKE
AN APPOINTMENT FOR HIM

TO SEE MR., UH--

Fred: SCHMALTZ.
SCHMAL--
SCHMALTZ?

BURTON.

MR. BURTON.
I'LL CONFIRM IT LATER.

Woman: YES,
MISS MANION.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

Fred: HEY.
WHAT'S THIS?

OH, THIS IS MY NIGHT
AT THE CANTEEN,
ALL RIGHT?

BUT I WANTED TO BE
ALONE WITH YOU.

WHY?

WHY? WHEN A FELLA
TAKES A GIRL OUT,

HE WANTS TO BE
ALONE WITH HER.

THAT'S WHY HE DOESN'T
BRING THE WHOLE
FAMILY ALONG.

IT'S BEEN GOING ON
FOR THOUSANDS
OF YEARS, YOU KNOW.

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

LATER YOU CAN BE
ALONE WITH ME.

ALL RIGHT.

HEY, LISTEN.
I CAN'T GO IN THERE.

IT'S FOR SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I WORK HERE.

COME ON.

HELLO, SERGEANT.
HELLO.

UH, HAVE YOU GOT
A CARD?

NO.

WELL, THIS IS
FOR SERVICEMEN.

OH, IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
HE'S WITH ME.

OK.

SOLD OUT.

OH, THERE'S ONE.

HELLO, CAROL.
HELLO, JOAN.

HI, TOM.

DO YOU HAVE TO DO
THIS TONIGHT?

AREN'T YOU ASHAMED
OF YOURSELF?

THESE MEN ARE LONELY.

THEY ENJOY THE SHOWS
WE PUT ON HERE.

IS THAT TOO MUCH
TO ASK--

MAKING A CUP OF COFFEE
OR SINGING A SONG

FOR THE MEN THAT ARE
WINNING THE WAR FOR US?

NO, IT ISN'T,
BUT WHERE DO YOU
COME IN?

WELL, I SING
IF THEY NEED ME,

OR SERVE, WASH DISHES,
ANYTHING.

TONIGHT I'LL
PROBABLY YODEL.

YODEL?
THAT'S MARVELOUS.

I USED TO BE
A YODELER--

Woman: ONE OF THE ACTS
CAN'T GET HERE.

CAN YOU FILL IN?

OH, SURE.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET MR. BURTON.

CAN HE DO
ANYTHING?

I CAN WASH
DISHES.

OH, MR. BURTON
CAN DO ANYTHING.

DIDN'T YOU SAY
YOU COULD, DARLING?

IN A WAY.

COULD YOU--COULD YOU
DO ANYTHING WITH HER?

COULD I!

OH, THAT'S
PERFECTLY SPLENDID.

OH, DARLING,
THAT'S WONDERFUL.

COME ALONG NOW.

YOU'RE WONDERFUL
CHILDREN.

YES. YOU REALLY ARE.

OH, YOU LOOK
MARVELOUS!

[APPLAUSE]

GO ON BACK.
I WAS ONLY KIDDING.

TOO LATE.
IT'S YOUR FAULT.

HELLO, JOAN.
THEY WANT ME
TO DO A NUMBER.

IS THIS GENTLEMAN
GOING TO DO SOMETHING?

NO.
I'LL JUST
MESS AROUND.

NO, YOU WON'T.
GO ON BACK TO THE TABLE.

JUST IGNORE HIM.
A VERSE AND TWO CHORUSES

OF A LOT IN COMMON.

HI, SOLDIER.
HAVING FUN?

NO. ARE YOU?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

OH, THEY DON'T LIKE
THE WAY I DANCE.

WANT ME TO HOLD THEM
WAY OUT HERE.

NOT FOR ME.
I GOT TO GO TO TOWN.

HA HA HA!

YOU WERE LOVELY.

OH, MR.

YOU WERE WONDERFUL.

YOU SAID YOU CAN

PARDON, FRIEND.
YOU GOT A MATCH?

YOU GOT A CIGARETTE
TO GO WITH IT?

OH, NO. NO.
NOT YOU GUYS.

WHAT ARE YOU

WE CAME
TO SEE YOU DANCE.

IT WAS LOVELY.

HOW DO YOU BILL
YOURSELF THESE DAYS?

THE DANCING TIGER?

WHO'S THE HEP CHICK?

NOW, DON'T CROWD
MY ACT, FELLAS.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT ME.

LET'S DO A LITTLE
RECONNOITERING.

VERY INTELLIGENT IDEA.

NOTHING DOING.
IF SHE FINDS OUT
WHO I AM,

I'LL SPEND THE REST
OF MY LEAVE TELLING
HER ALL ABOUT CHINA.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL.

NOT BAD.

THERE'S
LOTS OF OTHER
BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

YEAH, BUT WE LIKE THIS ONE.
CHANGED, HASN'T HE?

YEAH. BECOME JITTERY

NOTHING DOING,

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.

Dick: NICE
TO MEET YOU.

YOU BOYS ARE
FLYING TIGERS,
AREN'T YOU?

YES.

Fred: TELL US
ABOUT IT, WILL YOU?

I'LL BE GLAD TO.

WHAT DON'T YOU
KNOW ABOUT IT?

I DON'T KNOW
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

BY THE WAY, WE'VE GOT
TO MAKE THAT MIDNIGHT SHOW

AT THE, UH, AQUARIUM.

WHAT SHOW?

Reg: IT CERTAINLY
IS SWELL OF YOU

TO COME UP AND DANCE
FOR US FELLAS, MISTER.

MM-HMM.
HELPS OUR MORALE.

YOU KNOW, I FEEL BETTER
ABOUT THE WHOLE WAR ALREADY--

JUST WATCHING OUR
FRIEND HERE DANCE WITH YOU.

THANKS. GLAD
TO DO MY BIT.

SAY, WHY DON'T YOU FELLAS
TAKE A BUS RIDE?

THERE'S A SPECIAL TRIP--

GRANT'S TOMB, CHINATOWN,
THE SUBWAY--MARVELOUS.

THIS IS A GREAT TOWN.
YOU OUGHT TO SEE IT.

YOU GO SEE IT.

Dick: WOULD YOU
CARE TO DANCE?

SURELY.

Dick: SORRY, REG.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL WAIT MY TURN.

ANYTHING I CAN DO
TO AMUSE YOU
IN THE MEANTIME?

YES. YOU CAN HOP UP
ON THE TABLE

AND DO A SNAKE DANCE.

I SAID, HOP UP
ON THE TABLE

AND DO A SNAKE DANCE.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

COME ON.
UP, UP, UP, UP.

MAYBE YOU'D RATHER
I TELL THE YOUNG LADY
WHO YOU ARE.

REG, NOW, COME ON.
ALL KIDDING ASIDE.

FUN IS FUN.
UP, UP, UP.

SAY, WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

UP, UP.

WHAT? GET THROWN IN
THE BRIG OR SOMETHING?

IT'S DANGEROUS
UP HERE.

NOW WHAT

ON THE FLOOR, BUDDY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND THANK YOU, YOU--

Reg: THANK YOU.

NOW, WILL YOU AND DICK
TAKE IT AND PEEL OFF?

OH, WHAT'S MONEY?
JUST LETTUCE.

WE GOT A DATE
IN THE PACIFIC NEXT WEEK,

AND THE JAPS
DON'T EAT LETTUCE.

IT HAS TAKEN ME
ALL THIS TIME

TO GET WHERE I AM
WITH THIS GIRL.

YEAH, BUT WHERE
ARE YOU?

THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO FIND OUT.

[NO AUDIO]

WELL, THIS IS A FINE
HOW-DO-YOU-DO.

THOSE FELLAS
CERTAINLY RUINED
OUR EVENING.

OH, THERE'LL BE
OTHER NIGHTS FOR US.

Joan: THE BOYS ONLY
HAVE A FEW DAYS.

I KNOW.

YOU OUGHT TO BE
GLAD OF A CHANCE

TO DO SOMETHING
FOR THEM.

SOMEDAY MAYBE I'LL
GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

SAY, TELL ME SOMETHING,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

HMM?

HOW DOES IT HAPPEN
THAT YOU NEVER MARRIED
YOUR BOSS?

WHATEVER MADE YOU
THINK OF THAT?

HE'S ASKED YOU,
HASN'T HE?

WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU'D
CALL IT A PROPOSAL.

HE DIGRESSES WHEN
HE GET FLUSTERED.

FUMBLES
THE BALL, HUH?

ONCE HE GOT OFF
ON THE LOVE LIFE

OF A POLYP.

LONG AS IT'S LOVE,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

POLYPS, PEOPLE.

IT'S NOT PARTICULARLY
FLATTERING

TO BE COMPARED
TO A FISH

IN THE MIDDLE
OF A PROPOSAL.

[CHUCKLING]

MAYBE YOU DON'T
GIVE HIM THE RIGHT CUES.

MAYBE.

BUT I LIKE HIM,
REALLY.

WELL, HARRIMAN SEEMS
LIKE A PERFECTLY
SWELL FELLOW.

HE IS.

TELL ME. JUST WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR
IN A MAN?

WELL, HE--

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

WORDSWORTH PUT IT
PRETTY WELL.

HOW?

"A CREATURE NOT
TOO BRIGHT AND GOOD

"FOR HUMAN NATURE'S
DAILY FOOD,

"FOR TRANSIENT SORROWS,
SIMPLE WILES,

"PRAISE, BLAME,
LOVE, KISSES, TEARS,

AND SMILES."

Man: WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU ARE? IN THE PARLOR?

POINT KILLER.

I GUESS THIS
JUST ISN'T MY NIGHT.

YOU'RE NOT
REALLY AS CRAZY

AS YOU PRETEND
TO BE, ARE YOU?

I COULDN'T BE,
COULD I?

YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN
YOUR PROMISE
ABOUT TOMORROW?

OH, NO, NO.
WHAT WAS IT?

SEEING MR. HARRIMAN.

THAT'S RIGHT.
I WON'T FORGET.

I'LL POUND ON YOUR
DOOR, GET YOU UP.

THANKS.

GOOD NIGHT, BABY.

GOOD NIGHT.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN A MINUTE, DEAR.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
HONEY.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

REG!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HOW'D YOU GET IN?

I JUST
SIDESLIPPED IN.

WELL, SIDESLIP OUT,

LISTEN. I GOT
SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

LOOK.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YES?

Joan: ARE YOU
READY, FRED?

UH, WAIT FOR ME DOWNSTAIRS,
DEAR, WILL YOU?

IN THE NICE FRESH AIR
AND BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE.

I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN A MINUTE.

ALL RIGHT,
BUT HURRY.

ALL RIGHT.

[WHISPERS]
Say, uh, how are
things working out--

OH, FINE. JUST
A FEW MORE DAYS,

AND EVERYTHING IS--

WHAT'S THAT?

READ IT.

WHAT IS IT?

"REPORT FOR DUTY--"

SAY, THAT'S DAY
AFTER TOMORROW.
YEAH.

DID YOU AND DICK
GET YOURS?

YEP.

WELL, THERE IT IS.
THAT'S IT.

THAT'S IT.
I DON'T SUPPOSE

THIS'LL CHANGE
YOUR PLANS ANY,

MR. B-U-R-T-O-N?

OH, NO.
IT ONLY KNOCKS THEM

INTO A COCKED H-A-T,
THAT'S ALL.

SAY, DO ME A FAVOR,
WILL YOU?

STICK AROUND HERE
FOR 5 MINUTES

UNTIL WE GET OUT
OF SIGHT.

WELL...

LOT OF FUN
WHILE IT LASTED.

NOW, IF MR. HARRIMAN
OFFERS YOU A JOB,

TRY TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC,
WILL YOU?

DOES OLD PHILLY
KNOW I'M COMING?

YES. DON'T CALL HIM
"OLD PHILLY"
TO HIS FACE.

OH, MUSTN'T CALL HIM
"OLD PHILLY" TO HIS FACE.

BE ENTHUSIASTIC.
BOW AND SCRAPE--

OH, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO OVERDO IT.

OH, MUSTN'T
OVERDO IT.

IN HERE.

GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE
DON'T BE...FRESH.

I'LL TRY.

Woman:
GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

HAVE YOU
AN APPOINTMENT

WITH
MR. HARRIMAN?

YES, MA'AM.

WHO SHALL
I SAY?

THE NAME IS BURTON,
I THINK.

YOU THINK
IT'S BURTON?

BURTON.

THESE ARE GOOD.
YOU WANT ONE?

I'LL GET YOU ONE.

NO, THANKS.

Phil: YEAH?

MR. BURTON
TO SEE YOU,
MR. HARRIMAN.

I'LL SEE HIM
IN JUST A MINUTE.

JUST HAVE A CHAIR,
MR. BURTON.

OH, DARN IT!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

MY STOCKING CAUGHT
ON THAT CHAIR AGAIN.

A BRAND-NEW PAIR,
TOO.

HOLY SMOKES.
THAT'S NOT SO GOOD.

THIS IS NO TIME
FOR GIRLS

TO BE CATCHING THEIR
STOCKINGS IN CHAIRS,
I ALWAYS SAY.

OUCH!

MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU.
I USED TO BE
A HOSIERY SALESMAN.

THANKS, BUT
I CAN MANAGE.

HAVE YOU, UH,

HAVE YOU GOT A LITTLE
COLORLESS NAIL POLISH?

YEAH. HERE IT IS.
THIS IS IT.

THAT'S AWFULLY NICE
OF YOU, MR. BURTON,

BUT I'D RATHER
DO IT MYSELF.

PUT YOUR FOOT
UP HERE, HONEY.

I'LL FIX THIS THING.

BETTER LET ME DO IT
BECAUSE IT TAKES AN EXPERT.

I USED TO BE
A SILKWORM.

I USED TO, UM, UM...

HMM.

YEAH.

THIS IS A LITTLE LIKE
SHOEING A HORSE, ISN'T IT?

UH...THERE.

BEAUTIFUL.

I--I MEAN,
A BEAUTIFUL PAIR
OF STOCKINGS.

PRESENT FROM
YOUR BOSS, I GUESS.

[CHUCKLING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

OH, MR. HARRIMAN,

I CAUGHT MY STOCKING
ON THE CHAIR--

OH, HELLO,
HARRIMAN.

BE WITH YOU
IN JUST A SECOND.

HOLD STILL, HONEY.
WOULD YOU JUST
TURN AROUND?

TAKE YOUR TIME.
TAKE YOUR TIME.

RIGHT HERE.
JUST AROUND THERE.

NEED ANY HELP?

NO. I'M JUST DOING
MY GOOD DEED FOR THE DAY.

WELL, I'M BUSY,

BUT I WOULDN'T WANT
TO LEAVE YOU OUT ON A LIMB.

OH, MR. HARRIMAN.

WELL, I THINK
THAT'LL DO IT, HONEY.

NOW, JUST LET THAT DRY,
AND IT'LL STOP THE RUN.

OH, THANK YOU,
MR. BURTON.

YOU'RE WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU.

MR. HARRIMAN,
REMEMBER ME?

SURE. HEY,
BY THE WAY,

HOW DID YOU KNOW,
OR, UH,

WHAT MADE YOU THINK
THAT THOSE STOCKINGS

WERE A GIFT FROM ME?

I JUST PUT ONE
AND ONE TOGETHER.

BEAUTIFUL,
AREN'T THEY?
ISN'T SHE?

WELL,
NOTHING SERIOUS.

I JUST LIKE
TO BE IN PLEASANT
SURROUNDING,

THAT'S ALL.

WHO DOESN'T?

FRANKLY, MR. BURTON,
ARE YOU SERIOUS

ABOUT WANTING A JOB?

FRANKLY,
MR. HARRIMAN, NO.

WELL, I'VE GOT
LOTS OF DECKS

OF CARDS
AROUND HERE.

PEOPLE SEEM
TO GIVE ME GIN RUMMY
SETS FOR CHRISTMAS.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT
TO TRY A WHIRL,
WOULD YOU?

SURE.
I'LL PLAY YOU.

ONE GAME.

WHAT WILL
WE PLAY FOR?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

DOLLAR A POINT.

OOH. ALL RIGHT.

I'VE BEEN WANTING
TO TALK TO YOU.

WHY?

WELL, I'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU LATELY.

FROM MISS MANION,
I SUPPOSE.

YEAH. JOAN.

WELL, SINCE YOU'RE
NOT HERE TO DISCUSS A JOB,

I SUPPOSE IT'S
TO DISCUSS MISS MANION.

I DON'T MIND
SAYING I--

I THINK A LOT
OF YOUR LITTLE
PROTéGéE.

I WAS AFRAID
OF THAT.

I DON'T WANT THAT.

I DON'T WANT IT,
EITHER.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF.

AS FAR AS I CAN SEE,

SHE'S WAITING FOR
A PROPOSAL FROM YOU.

WELL, THAT'S WHERE
YOU'RE WRONG.

I'VE ALREADY
PUT IN MY BID.

YOU PUT IN YOUR BID?

YOU MAKE HER SOUND
LIKE SOME SORT
OF PROJECT.

HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN HER
TO UNDERSTAND

THAT YOUR LIFE IS
INCOMPLETE WITHOUT HER?

OH, UH--
OF COURSE
YOU HAVEN'T.

ASKED HER TO MARRY
YOU THE SAME WAY

THAT YOU'D ASK SOMEBODY
FOR A MATCH.

WELL...

YOU DON'T CARE
HOW YOU THROW THOSE
LITTLE CARDS, DO YOU?

I PLAY A DIFFERENT
TYPE GAME

FROM THE AVERAGES.

YES, YOU DO.

SAY, WHAT'S THE NAME
OF THIS GAME?

GIN.

THAT'S JUST
WHAT I HAVE.

NOW I'LL DO
THE TALKING.

BLITZZZZ.

WELL, YOU JUST
BARELY MADE IT--101.

WELL, I GUESS
I OWE YOU SOME MONEY.

OH, LET'S
FORGET IT.

PLEASE GIVE IT
TO YOUR PET CHARITY
OR SOMETHING.

SHE'S OUT AT LUNCH.
I'LL GIVE IT
TO YOURS.

MR. HARRIMAN...
JOAN IS FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN
IN LOVE BEFORE,

AND I PROBABLY
WILL BE AGAIN--

PLENTY OF TIMES.

I KNOW MYSELF BETTER
THAN YOU DO.

IN OTHER WORDS,
YOU DON'T WANT
TO MARRY.

LIVE ALONE
AND WOLF IT, HUH?

YEAH.

[BUZZER]

UH, I'M OUT, HUH?

IF I EVER GET MARRIED,
IT'LL BE SOMEONE...

"A CREATURE NOT
TOO BRIGHT AND GOOD

FOR HUMAN NATURE'S
DAILY FOOD,"

ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

HEY, THAT'S
A GOOD LINE, THAT.

DO YOU MIND
IF I JOT THAT DOWN?

NO. DON'T.

THAT BELONGS
TO THE ONLY GIRL
I'LL NEVER FORGET.

LISTEN, MR. HARRIMAN,
I WANT TO DO
SOMETHING FOR YOU.

DO YOU WANT
TO MARRY JOAN?

I DO.

OK.

YOU HAVE HER UP TO YOUR
APARTMENT FOR DINNER,

AND I GUARANTEE
SHE'LL MARRY YOU
IN 12 HOURS.

12 HOURS? WELL,
I'VE BEEN AFTER HER
FOR TWO YEARS.

YES, BUT HOW?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

WELL, I GATHER
THAT YOU THINK

THAT MY TECHNIQUE LEAVES
SOMETHING TO BE DESIRED?

I'LL SAY IT DOES.

ALL YOU DO IS JUST
PUT IN YOUR BID.

THERE'S NO FINESSE.

YOU JUST BUCK THE LINE.
NO LATERAL PASSES.

NO STRATEGY.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

BEEKMAN PLACE.
NO LATERAL PASSES?

WHAT KIND OF
A LAYOUT HAVE YOU?

OH, THE USUAL
PENTHOUSE.

CHROMIUM TRIMMINGS.

VIEW OF
THE DEARMOUNT.

NOT EXACTLY SORDID.

I GOT A TERRACE.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD HER
UP THERE FOR DINNER?

YES. MANY TIMES.

TO DINE OUT
IN THE TERRACE?

NO, IN THE DINING
ROOM, NATURALLY.

WELL, THERE YOU ARE.

WHERE AM I?

GIVE ME YOUR KEY.

MY WHAT?

THE KEY
TO YOUR APARTMENT.

KEY TO MY APARTMENT?
YEAH.
COME ON.

WHOA. WHAT DO YOU
PROPOSE DOING?

YOU'RE GONNA PROPOSE.
I'M GOING TO ARRANGE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
ARRANGE WHAT? WHY?

LET'S CALL IT
A MILITARY SECRET.

OH, BUT, HEY,
WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

LEAVE IT TO ME,
WILL YOU?

I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

YEAH, BUT
MY DEAR MAN, I--

"A CREATURE NOT
TOO BRIGHT OR GOOD...

FOR HUMAN NATURE'S
DAILY FOOD..."

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

REMEMBER ME?

WHAT?

OH. HELLO, PHIL.

HOW DID YOU
COME OUT WITH HIM?

IT'S RATHER
INDEFINITE.

WELL, IS HE WORKING
FOR YOU OR ISN'T HE?

I THINK HE IS.

YOU THINK HE IS?

WELL, HE GAVE ME
A COUPLE OF
VERY GOOD IDEAS.

OH, YOU MEAN
FOR THE MAGAZINE?

INDIRECTLY, YES.

AREN'T YOU BEING
RATHER MYSTERIOUS?

I HOPE SO.

COME ON. WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO BUILD UP TO?

A LATERAL PASS--UH,
AN INVITATION TO DINNER.

OH, WELL, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BE SO SUBTLE

TO ASK ME TO DINNER.

I'D LOVE TO COME.

ON THE TERRACE?

WHY NOT?

I THINK IT'D BE NICE
FOR A CHANGE.

GOSH DARN IT.

YOU'RE JUST THE KIND
OF GIRL I LIKE.

"A CREATURE
NOT TOO BRIGHT--"

WHAT?
LET ME FINISH.

"A CREATURE NOT
TOO BRIGHT OR GOOD

"FOR HUMAN NATURE'S
DAILY FOOD,

FOR TRANSIENT SORROWS,
SIMPLE WILES..."

UH, SOMETHING.

"PRAISE, BLAME,
LOVE, KISSES, TEARS,
AND SMILES."

THAT'S IT.
WHO TOLD YOU?

I TOLD FRED.

SO YOU'RE THE GIRL.

YOU'RE THE ONE
HE'LL NEVER FORGET.

DID HE SAY THAT?

DON'T TELL ME I'VE
BUTCHED THIS ONE, TOO.

OH, BUT YOU
HAVEN'T, PHIL.

THANKS A MILLION.

I, UH,
I HAVE TO GO.

HE'S AT MY APARTMENT.

OH, HE IS? WHAT'S
HE DOING THERE?

HE'S FIXING SOMETHING
FOR ME...FOR US.

HE'S FIXING
SOMETHING.

YOU'RE A DARLING.
THANKS, PHIL.

[SIGH]

NOT TOO BRIGHT.

VERY FINE, JACKSON.
VERY FINE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

IN FACT,
IT'S EXCELLENT.

YOU'VE EVEN
GOT THE MOON
IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

YES, SIR.
THANK YOU, SIR.

WE DO OUR BEST
TO OBLIGE.

DON'T FORGET, JACKSON.
WHEN THEY ARRIVE,
YOU LEAVE.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[BUZZ]

[BUZZ]

GOOD EVENING, JACKSON.

GOOD EVENING, MISS.

HOW ARE YOU
TONIGHT?

WELL, I'M FEELING
A TRIFLE HAGGARD, MISS.

YOU DO LOOK
A LITTLE WORRIED.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
THE EVENING OFF?

GO TO A MOVIE.

OH, YES, MISS,
BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE DINNER?

I WANT TO BE
ALONE WITH HIM.

WITH HIM, MISS?

OH, SO HE'S
IN THERE.

GET GOING, JACKSON.

YES.
VERY GOOD, MISS.

IF I WEREN'T
A GENTLEMAN'S
GENTLEMAN,

I COULD BE
SUCH A CAD'S CAD.

[WHISPERS]
Hey, Jackson?

Jackson?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joan: HOW IS IT
IN THERE? STUFFY?

OH, ABOUT
LIKE A NIGHTCLUB.

THANKS.

WHERE'S PHIL?

OH, HE SAID
TO SAY HELLO.

HELLO.

SHALL WE GO INTO
THE LIVING ROOM?

WELL, I THINK PHIL
WOULD BE KIND OF SURPRISED

TO FIND ME HERE.

BUT HE ISN'T COMING.

DOES HE KNOW THAT?

OH, I THINK HE HAS
A VAGUE IDEA, YES.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH PHIL?

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

OH, LET'S NOT
TALK ABOUT THAT.

LET'S TALK
ABOUT US.

LET'S TALK
ABOUT YOU.

ME?
YES.

NO. LET'S NOT.

HAS ANYONE
EVER TOLD YOU

HOW FASCINATING
YOU ARE TO WOMEN?

NO.

DO YOU LIKE
ETCHINGS?

NOT PARTICULARLY.

OH, THERE'S SOME
BEAUTIFUL ONES HERE.

PHONE'S OFF THE HOOK.

ISN'T THIS
EXQUISITE?

IT'S UPSIDE DOWN.

OH, SO IT IS.

OH, THERE'S
THE BREAD LINE
BY REGINALD MARSH.

DON'T YOU
JUST LOVE IT?

MM-MM.
I'VE BEEN IN IT.
OH.

I WONDER WHERE
JACKSON IS.

I'VE GOT TO BE LEAVING.
IT'S LATE.

OH, NO! NOT YET.

I KNOW
WHAT WE NEED--

A LITTLE FRESH AIR,
CHAMPAGNE.

I BELIEVE THERE'S
SOME OUT HERE
ON THE TERRACE.

OH, YES.

OHH, ISN'T IT
PERFECT?

ISN'T IT
BEAUTIFUL?

JUST LOOK
AT THAT CITY.

LOOK AT THE SKY.
LOOK AT THAT MOON.

[SIGH]

YOU KNOW, THIS IS
THE KIND OF NIGHT

THAT DOESN'T BELONG
TO YOUR LIFE.

YOU COULD
JUST DO ANYTHING,

AND IT
WOULDN'T COUNT.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO DRINK
THE FIRST ONE FAST,

THEN SIP THE NEXT ONE,
DON'T YOU?

COME ON, NOW.
WHAT'S BACK
OF ALL THIS?

WELL...

I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU'LL
NEVER FORGET, DARLING.

OH, SO PHIL
SPILLED IT, DID HE?

YEP.
PHIL SPILLED IT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE
THAT JOB WITH HIM?

WHY? I MAY HAVE
A BIGGER JOB COMING UP.

YOU HAVE? WHAT?

AIRPLANES.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING
ABOUT AIRPLANES, TOO?

A LITTLE.

WHY, THAT'S PERFECT.

I CAN TAKE YOU WITH ME
TOMORROW NIGHT.

ALL THE BIG, IMPORTANT
PEOPLE WILL BE THERE.

I'M SURE I COULD
ARRANGE A MEETING
WITH MR. SLOAN.

SLOAN? WHO'S HE?

OH, YOU KNOW HIM.
HE MAKES ALL
THOSE PLANES--

HEAD OF SLOAN AIRCRAFT.

OH, YES.
I'VE HEARD OF HIM.

I COULD HAVE PHIL
TALK TO HIM FIRST

AND BREAK THE ICE.

WHAT ICE?

[SLOW DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]

I LIKE THIS TUNE.

HMM?

WE DON'T MIND
IF IT ISN'T A BIG JOB
AT FIRST, DO WE?

NO.

OH, I FORGOT
TO TELL YOU.

WE'RE GOING
TO BE MARRIED.

WHO? YOU AND SLOAN?

WHAT HAPPENED
TO HARRIMAN?

Joan: OH, NO!

YOU AND ME, DARLING.

OH.

OH.

OH, IS THAT ALL
YOU'VE GOT TO SAY--

"OH"?

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

I'VE BEEN IN SOME
PRETTY TOUGH SPOTS
IN MY LIFE,

BUT THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME

A BEAUTIFUL GIRL HAS
EVER PROPOSED TO ME,

AND I'M--
I'M ALL SWEPT OFF
MY FEET.

WELL, NEVERTHELESS,
THERE IT IS.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO ABOUT IT?

OH, DON'T RUSH ME.
DON'T RUSH ME. I--

I MUSTN'T BE TOO HASTY.

AFTER ALL, YOU KNOW,

HOW DO I KNOW MY PARENTS
WILL GIVE THEIR CONSENT?

[MY SHINING HOUR PLAYING]

Man on radio: FATE HOLDS
ITS BREATH TONIGHT

AS, FAR OVER THE DARK PACIFIC,

TWO GIANT FIGHTING FLEETS
SPAR FOR AN OPENING.

POWERFUL JAP UNITS HAVE SWUNG
TO MEET HEAVILY OUTNUMBERED
AMERICAN FORCES,

BUT NAVY BOMBERS ARE
SWIRLING OUT TO MEET THEM.

[TURNS OFF RADIO]

WHY ARE WE ALWAYS
OUTNUMBERED ANYWAY?

TO MAKE IT EVEN,
I GUESS.

[TURNS ON RADIO]

[BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHISTLES]

[CLICKS TONGUE]

HEY! NOT THAT.

TONIGHT, I THINK I SHALL
GET SLIGHTLY INEBRIATED.

I THINK YOU WON'T.

NO STINKEROO?

NO STINKEROO.

OH, GEE.

YOU'VE GOT TO STAY
SOBER TONIGHT.

ALL NIGHT?

WELL...

AFTER YOU'VE SOLD
YOURSELF TO MR. SLOAN,

MAYBE YOU CAN
HAVE A FEW...

LITTLE, BITTY ONES.

LOOK OUT!

I ALMOST FORGOT.

WHAT?

YOU'VE BEEN WALKING
AROUND ON THAT PENNY
EVER SINCE?

IT BROUGHT ME LUCK.

I'M LOANING IT TO YOU.

YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT
A HUNCH ABOUT TONIGHT.

I THINK IT'S
A GREAT CHANCE.

Joan: PROMISE ME YOU
WON'T BUMBLE IT UP.

BUMBLE IT UP? ME?

JUST BEHAVE
LIKE A GENTLEMAN.

DON'T OVERDO IT NOW.

OH, DON'T
OVERDO IT.

BE PLEASANT
AND DON'T
INSULT THE MAN.

ALL RIGHT.
IT'S A DEAL?

SURE.

GOOD.

MR. SLOAN, I'M
VERY GLAD TO MAKE
YOUR ACQUAINTANCE, SIR.

I'VE HEARD A LOT
OF WONDERFUL THINGS
ABOUT YOU.

PARDON ME. THERE'S
SOMETHING ON YOUR COAT.

THAT'S ENOUGH.
HAVE A STOGY?

[APPLAUSE]

OUR GUEST OF HONOR TONIGHT--

[CLEARS THROAT]

NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION,

BUT I HAVE ONE OR TWO POINTS
WHICH I WANTED TO MAKE

BY WAY OF...INTRODUCTION.

AH, I'M REMINDED
OF A STORY

WHICH PROBABLY
MOST OF YOU'VE HEARD.

I THINK IT'S QUITE PERMISSIBLE
TO TELL IT HERE TONIGHT,

AS WE'RE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY.

UH, THERE WERE...

[CLEARS THROAT]

THE MAN THAT WE HAVE AS GUEST
OF HONOR HERE TONIGHT

IS THE MAN,
I FEEL FREE TO SAY,

WHO HAS MADE THIS COMPANY

WHAT IT IS TODAY.

THE QUESTION NOW ARISES,
WHAT IS THIS COMPANY TODAY?

I DON'T WANT TO INJECT
A SERIOUS NOTE

INTO THE OCCASION,

BUT, HEH HEH--
WHAT IS ANYTHING TODAY?

SO MUCH FOR THE PRODUCTION END.

WHEN THIS MAN ENTERED THE FIELD,

THERE WAS--LET US FACE IT--
A BOTTLENECK IN THE INDUSTRY.

YOU ALL KNOW
WHAT A BOTTLENECK IS.

BUT, UH, IT'S NOT
AS EASY AS THAT.

NOW, I HAVE PREPARED,
OR HAD PREPARED,

SOME, UH, CHARTS

WHICH WILL SHOW YOU
MORE GRAPHICALLY

JUST WHAT THIS BOTTLENECK WAS

AND HOW THIS ONE MAN--

AIDED, OF COURSE,
BY THOUSANDS OF YOU EMPLOYEES--

UH, ELIMINATED THE BOTTLENECK

AND SUBSTITUTED FOR IT, UH...

NOW, UH, HERE IS A CHART
SHOWING PLASTIC PRODUCTION

AS COMPARED WITH METAL
PRODUCTION IN THE YEAR...

WELL, THE YEAR DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE SHOWN ON HERE,

UH, SO WE'LL SAY 1936
FOR FUN, HUH?

UH, IN 1936, YOU'LL SEE--

OR WHATEVER YEAR IT WAS--

THAT THESE THINGS, UH,
RAN INTO FANTASTIC FIGURES.

UH, FOR INSTANCE, IN 1936,

2,445,000 AS COMPARED
WITH 3,350,000 IN...

SOME OTHER YEAR.

UH, OR 25% OF 1936,

AND BY 1936 IS MEANT 1934.

THIS IS ALL
PER CAPITA, MIND YOU.

NOW, WE...

OH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF.

THIS IS THE WRONG CHART.

UH, I THOUGHT--
YOU SEE, THIS HAS GOT ALUMINIUM

AND NICKEL AND TIN ON IT,

AND WE WERE GOING
TO WORK ON, UH,

MAN-HOURS! HERE, HERE.

WELL, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.

SEE, THIS HAS THE YEARS ON IT.

THAT MAKES IT
MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND.

NOW, UH, HERE WE
HAVE THE MAXIMUM PEAK.

NOW, I PRESUME THAT
MEANS IN MAN-HOURS,

PER HOUR, PER MAN-HOUR,

AND THE BOTTLENECK HERE CAME
IN GETTING THESE MAN-HOURS,

UH, FROM 1940 TO 1939.

[CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY]

UH, LET'S LOOK AT IT
FROM ANOTHER ANGLE.

IN 1942, 160 MILLION, YOU SEE.

1941, UNTIL WE REACH
THE PROBABLE SATURATION POINT,

AND HIGH TIME, TOO.

[CLEARS THROAT]

BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S, UH--

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT ALL
OF THESE WERE MAN-HOURS

AND FOOT-POUNDS PER HOUR,

WELL, I JUST DON'T SEE

HOW THE MAN DID IT, FRANKLY.

NOW WE COME
TO THE MOBILIZATION.

[CLEARS THROAT]

WELL, I SEE THAT
MY TIME IS UP AND, UH--

SOME OTHER TIME, PERHAPS.

[MAN WHISPERING]
I don't understand
that one.

UH, BUT THE POINT
THAT I WANTED TO MAKE WAS

THAT WE'RE ALL
HERE TONIGHT AND, UH--

IT NOW GIVES ME
GREAT PLEASURE

TO INTRODUCE
OUR EMINENT GUEST OF HONOR,

THE MAN WHO, AS I SAID BEFORE,
NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION--

MR. HARVEY SLOAN.

[APPLAUSE]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE ARE HERE TO CELEBRATE

THE COMPLETION
OF THE FIRST 10,000

OF THE MANY THOUSAND BOMBERS

THAT WILL COME FROM
OUR ASSEMBLY LINE.

IN COMMEMORATION
OF THIS EVENT,

WE HAVE ELECTED ONE
OF OUR WORKERS

WHO HELPED BUILD
THESE BOMBERS

TO DEDICATE THIS SHIP.

IT WILL BE CHRISTENED
BY MRS. LEO ROSKOWSKI,

WHO HELPED RIVET
IT TOGETHER.

I AM HONORED TO INTRODUCE
MRS. LEO ROSKOWSKI.

[APPLAUSE]

WHO'S
MRS. LEO ROSKOWSKI?

HER HUSBAND WAS
KILLED ON BATAAN.

I DEDICATE THIS PLANE
TO THE MEMORY OF LEO ROSKOWSKI.

AWFULLY CLOSE CALL.

I THINK THAT CALLS
FOR A SHORT SNORT,
DON'T YOU?

PARDON ME, GENERAL.

YES, SIR.

Joan: YOU'LL GET A CHANCE
TO TALK TO SLOAN
IN A MINUTE.

HMM? OH, YEAH.

WANT TO DANCE?

MM-HMM.

OH, HE'S GOING OVER
TO THE BAR NOW
WITH PHIL.

WHO?

SLOAN.

COME ON.
NOW'S OUR CHANCE.

WELL,
HE'S A MAN THAT
YOU MIGHT HAVE

A LITTLE TROUBLE
WITH

IF HE GOT
HIS HEAD DOWN,

BUT I THINK IT'LL BE
WORTH TAKING.

OH, HELLO.

THIS IS MR. BURTON,
MR. SLOAN--

THE YOUNG MAN I WAS
TELLING YOU ABOUT.

OH, HOW DO YOU DO?

Joan: DANCE?

Phil: WELL, NO,
BUT IT'D BE

A PLEASURE
TO TRY.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE
US, PLEASE.

SIT DOWN, YOUNG MAN.

I HEARD SOME GOOD THINGS
ABOUT YOU, SON.

MISS MANION PHONED ME
THIS MORNING.

IS THAT SO?

I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR A POSITION.

I AM?

LOTS OF GOOD JOBS
OPEN NOWADAYS.

I ASSUME YOU'RE UNQUALIFIED
TO ENTER THE SERVICE.

EMOTIONALLY
UNSTABLE.

EVER HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE
IN THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY?

A LITTLE.
HAVE YOU?

YOUNG MAN, I'M THE FOUNDER
OF THE SLOAN AIRCRAFT COMPANY.

DID YOU EVER
PILOT A PLANE?

NO. I GET AIRSICK.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
YOUR PURSUIT CAN DO
IN A DOGFIGHT?

I HAVE TECHNICAL EXPERTS
THAT KNOW THEIR JOB,
SIR. I, UH--

I SEE. YOU FURNISH
THE MONEY, HUH?

YOUNG MAN, THERE
ARE CERTAIN MATTERS
THAT I NEVER--

LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING.

YOU OUGHT TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENS TO THAT THING

WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL IT
OUT OF A STEEP DIVE

WITHOUT LOSING MORE THAN
2,000 FEET OF ALTITUDE.

WELL, WHAT DOES HAPPEN?

IT'S MURDER.

Y-YOU SPIN IN.

YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?

AND THOSE AILERONS.

WHAT ABOUT THEM?

THEY'RE HORRIBLE.

WHY, IF YOU TRY TO BANK
AT 350 MILES AN HOUR,

THE WINGS
BEGIN TO FLUTTER
LIKE A BUTTERFLY.

YOU NEED AN EXTRA PAIR
OF HANDS TO KEEP
THAT STICK

FROM JUMPING ABOUT
IN THE PLACE LIKE
A PNEUMATIC DRILL.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT?

SIMPLE.

PUT AN EXTRA
PAIR OF HANDS
IN EVERY PLANE.

WELL, THAT'S EASY--
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOUR EXPERTS CAN
EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

LOOK HERE.
DO YOU WANT A JOB--
A GOOD JOB?

NO.

YOU DON'T?
WHY NOT?

I LIKE
TO POKE MY NOSE

IN OTHER PEOPLE'S
BUSINESS.

IF I WORKED FOR YOU,
I'D GO STALE.

WELL, I THOUGHT
YOU WANTED THE JOB.

YOU'VE
BEEN MISINFORMED.

MISS MANION THOUGHT
I WANTED A JOB.

OH.

TAKE MY ADVICE,
MR. SLOAN.

GO ALL OUT
WITH EVERYTHING
YOU'VE GOT.

THIS IS NO PUSHOVER.

RATHER CURIOUS ADVICE,
CONSIDERING THE SOURCE.

JUST WHEN ARE YOU COMING
DOWN TO EARTH, YOUNG MAN?

WHEN IT'S ALL OVER,
I HOPE.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I
DON'T UNDERSTAND MYSELF.

YOU, TOO?

WHY SHOULD I DO
ANYTHING FOR HIM?

OH, I THOUGHT
PERHAPS YOU WERE
DOING IT FOR ME.

THAT'S DIFFERENT.

LOOKS AS THOUGH HE'S
WORKING FOR SLOAN.

5 TO 3, SLOAN WILL BE
WORKING FOR HIM IN 6 MONTHS.

OH, GIVE HIM A YEAR.

SAY, WAITER,
WOULD YOU CLEAR THOSE
GLASSES AWAY, PLEASE,

AND BRING ME
A CUP OF COFFEE?

VERY GOOD, SIR.

HOW DID IT GO,
MR. SLOAN?

I MEAN, FRED,
UH, MR. BURTON?

VERY CLEVER
YOUNG MAN.

TOLD ME HOW
TO RUN MY BUSINESS
IN ONE EASY LESSON.

YOU MEAN, HE DIDN'T--

I'M AFRAID YOUR FRIEND,
IN SPITE OF HIS TALENTS,

DOESN'T WANT TO WORK.

TOO BAD.
VERY CLEVER YOUNG MAN.

EXCUSE ME, PHIL.

HELLO.
WANT SOME COFFEE?

MR. SLOAN SAYS YOU
DON'T WANT TO WORK.

HE'S A MIND READER.

WHY DID YOU
DO THIS TO ME?

YOU PROMISED.

I TRIED. I THOUGHT
IT MIGHT WORK OUT,

AND THEN I GOT
TALKING TO HIM AND--

AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THE WHOLE THING
CLOSED IN ON ME.

I-I JUST COULDN'T
GO THROUGH WITH IT.

YOU DON'T REALLY CARE
ABOUT ME AT ALL, DO YOU?

IT'S NOT THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT--

I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR
THAT KIND OF LIFE,

DON'T YOU SEE?

I'M USED TO
WANDERING AROUND
ALL OVER THE PLACE.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I GUESS IT'S JUST THAT
I HAVEN'T GOT ANY
CHARACTER OR SOMETHING.

THERE ARE
A LOT OF THINGS
YOU HAVEN'T GOT,

AND I'M ONE OF THEM.

NO STRATEGY. NO FINESSE.
NO LATERAL PASSES, HUH?

OH, I HAVEN'T
ANY CHARACTER.

NEITHER HAVE I.

COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

IT'S TOO RESPECTABLE.

I WANT TO ASK YOU
SOME QUESTIONS, ANYWAY.
COME ON.

I THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO LIKE THIS.

SLIP A JIGGER
OF THIS IN THERE,
WILL YOU, JOE?

YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW, THIS DRINK
DIDN'T JUST HAPPEN.

THIS IS
THE CULMINATION

OF YEARS OF PATIENT
RESEARCH

AND HAS
A MILD BOUQUET,
LIGHTER BODY,

BUT AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF ESTERS.

HOW ARE
YOUR TASTE BUDS?

STILL GOT THEM,
I GUESS.

POUR THEM OUT, JOE.
POUR THEM OUT.

GOOD NIGHT.
IT'S RAINING OUT.

DON'T YOU LIKE RAIN?

NO.

TURN THE RAIN
OFF, JOE.

IT DEPRESSES
MY FRIEND HERE.

HEY, HOW DO YOU
DO THAT?

Phil: HERE, HERE.
COME ON NOW.

THAT MAY LOOK
A LITTLE STRONG,

BUT YOU WON'T BEGIN
TO FEEL IT TILL
THE SECOND DAY, I'M SURE.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
EVER MADE A DRINK
QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE.

WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

WELL, IT DIDN'T HAVE
A NAME UP UNTIL NOW,

BUT, IN HONOR OF YOU,
I'M CALLING IT
THE FLYING TIGER...

LIEUTENANT ATWELL.

WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
A TWIN BROTHER

IN THE FLYING TIGERS,
DID YOU?

OH, I SEE.

OUR SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE
DUG THAT UP FOR ME.

OH! TOO SWEET.

YOU'LL HAVE TO BE SHOVING
OFF PRETTY SOON, WON'T YOU?

DOES SHE KNOW?

NO.

WELL, DO ME A FAVOR
AND FORGET IT,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

OH, I'LL BE DOING
MYSELF A FAVOR.

YOU'VE GOT
ONE COMING.

WHAT ABOUT HER?

SHE'LL FORGET.

WILL YOU?

ME?

OH, I'M JUST WALKING
A TIGHTROPE

BETWEEN SOMEWHERE
AND SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I-I GOT
TO WALK IT ALONE,
UNDERSTAND?

SO I GOT MYSELF
IN OVER MY HEAD,

AND I HAD TO GET
OUT, THAT'S ALL.

I SEE.
WELL, KEEP
THE CHANGE, JOE.

THANKS.

CAN I GIVE YOU
A LIFT ANYWHERE?

NO, THANKS. I THINK
I'LL JUST STICK
AROUND HERE AWHILE,

THEN WALK HOME.

WELL, GOOD LUCK,
ATWELL.

THANKS, PHIL.

SAME TO YOU...BOTH.

YOU'VE BEEN SWELL.

HEY, JOE.

YEAH?

HAVE ANY?

NO, THANKS.

NO APPETITE?

I HAD A LATE BREAKFAST.

MAYBE SOMETHING
A LITTLE MORE
DELICATE?

OH, NO, PHIL.
THANKS.

WHY DON'T YOU
TAKE THE DAY OFF?

PHILIP, PLEASE
DON'T BABY ME.

WHY DON'T YOU SAY,
"I TOLD YOU SO"?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT A SAP I'VE BEEN?

WELL, I COULD TELL YOU
WHAT A SAP YOU MIGHT BE.

YOU MIGHT MARRY ME.

OH, I'M SORRY, PHIL.

PRETTY SMALL OF ME
TAKING IT OUT ON YOU.

YOU'RE IGNORING
A LITTLE SUGGESTION
I JUST MADE.

NOT JUST NOW, PHIL.

IT'S NO USE PRETENDING
THAT I DIDN'T GET HURT.

YOU KNOW I DID,

BUT I'LL GET OVER IT.

WELL, IF YOU
WON'T MARRY ME,

I MIGHT AS WELL BE
NOBLE ABOUT IT.

I HAVE
AN ASSIGNMENT FOR YOU.

A GOOD ONE?

YOU COULDN'T ASK
FOR A BETTER ONE.

YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO SHOOT SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.

HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO COVER

A "BOMBERS FOR
AUSTRALIA" STORY
WE'RE RUNNING?

WHERE DO I GO?

WELL, THERE'S A SQUADRON
OF AMERICAN BOMBERS

LEAVES THE WEST COAST
PRETTY SOON.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
YOU'LL HAVE TO FLY TODAY

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT.

SO I GET MY BIG BREAK
AT LAST?

AT LAST.

I WON'T LET YOU
DOWN, PHIL.

YOU'RE A SWELL GUY.

YOU TELL ME THAT
WHEN YOU COME BACK.

I WILL.

I THINK COFFEE
JUST FOR ME, PLEASE.

YOU'VE GOT TO HURRY.

YOU GET PACKED,
AND I'LL MEET YOU

AT LA GUARDIA
AT 3:00.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL BE THE FAT MAN
WITH THE BROKEN HEART.

OH, PHIL.

SEE YOU THEN.

I GOT IT.

OK. YOU WIN
THIS TIME.

UH, LIEUTENANT, MAY I
TAKE A SHOT OF THE BOYS
FROM OVER THERE?

SURE. GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU.

HELLO.
Man: HELLO.

WHAT ABOUT
THAT NICE SMILE
I JUST SAW THERE?

Man over P.A.: ATTENTION,
MEN WHO ARE LEAVING.

GO TO YOUR PLANES.
PREPARE TO TAKE OFF IMMEDIATELY.

[MEN MURMURING]

IS IT ALL RIGHT
TO PHOTOGRAPH THE BOYS
GETTING ON THE PLANES?

OH, CERTAINLY.

GOOD.

FRED.

FRED!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I-I'VE GOT TIME.

I'M IN THE LAST SHIP.

OH, DARLING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME, FRED?

OH, I THOUGHT I'D
BETTER JUST CLEAR OUT.

YOU ALWAYS
WERE CRAZY.

I GUESS I AM.

IT'S ALL RIGHT
NOW.

HEY!

ALL RIGHT.

OH, NOW, YOU
MUSTN'T DO THAT.

I-IT'S
ALL CLEAR NOW.

LOOK. HERE'S
OUR LUCKY PENNY.

YOU KEEP IT.

OH, NO.
YOU KEEP IT.

I'VE HAD
ALL MY LUCK.

WE NEED
JUST A BIT MORE.

YOU'VE GOT TO COME
BACK TO ME.

I'LL BE BACK.

SURE, YOU WILL.

HEY, FRED!

YEAH. THAT'S US.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

I THINK YOU'RE JUST ABOUT
THE SWEETEST THING

I EVER HOPE TO MEET
ON THIS EARTH.

Man: SORRY, FRED.

SO LONG, BABY.

SO LONG, DARLING.

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT!
I LOVE YOU!

THIS IS A FINE TIME
TO TELL ME!

GOOD-BYE, DARLING!
