Man: All right, keep 'em coming.

Man #2: Either this ammo's heavy, or I'm getting weaker.

- I got a mind to hand in my resignation. - Aw, quit squawking.

We got a steady job, haven't we?

Room and board, lots of fresh air, good hours. What else you want?

One more month of this for me.

Wish I was out already.

Whoa. You drop that shell,

and we'll all be out... way out.

Not bad. The first tank crew to reach the moon.

Okay, men, let's snap it up. We move out at 0500.

1-6, this is 1-1. I'm in position. Out.

Driver, stop. Gunner, H.E.

Up. Fire.

On the way.

Target. Cease fire.

[Explosion]

Fire!

Driver, stop. Gunner, H.E.

Over. Right 2-0.

Drop 200.

White shack.

- Identified. - Fire!

On the way.

Just like it had eyes.

You ought to see me with a slingshot.

Okay, driver, back to base.

Charlie papa.

Roger.

Home, James, and, uh, through the park.

Hey, Sarge, anything new on Frankfurt?

We transfer there tomorrow. It's our last night here.

How about getting me a date?

Blonde, brunette, or redhead?

He wouldn't care if she was bald, as long as she wiggles.

You know it.

Jeter, order came through on Frankfurt.

I got to talk to Cookie.

I'll see if he's at the field C.P.

[Jeter Over Radio] Pretty Boy 5, this is Pretty Boy 1-1. Over.

This is Pretty Boy 5. Over.

Is this you, Cookie?

What's on your mind, pal?

Frankfurt.

Ain't it great? I just heard... direct.

It sort of changes our plans for tonight.

The combo's going to have to cancel out the Rathskeller.

I got other plans.

Cancel out? We were going to break in some new numbers.

Sorry, Cookie, but there's some cute numbers I have to break off with.

I can't leave without saying goodbye.

For three weeks, you're trying to get Mueller to put us on.

He finally says yes.

Now you want to walk out waving bye-bye.

I didn't say anything about waving.

Cookie's right, Tuls.

Like you said yourself, our careers come first.

You win.

I'll do my playing, but only until 10:00.

Hey, Rick, while I was talking to Frankfurt,

I picked up some hot news for you. Get this.

Marla's there.

Marla? In Frankfurt?

Tulsa, did you hear what I just heard?

Is it raining there? I hear thunder.

What's the matter up front? You blind?

What do you mean, blind? He hit it, didn't he?

Well, now, aren't we lucky?

What luck. What are we going to do?

Wow.

Uh-oh, here comes trouble.

Okay, okay, chattering on the radio.

And a thrown track. What happened?

Sorry, Sarge. My fault.

Of course. You're the driver, ain't you?

Look, Sarge, he said he was sorry.

Can't this army take an apology?

He threw a track, Sarge. Tough job.

Oh, shut up.

Who would you like me to call, the Automobile Club?

Oh, would you do that for us, Sarge?

Ye... Don't just stand there. Fix it.

This whole crew stays here till the job is done.

Sarge, that's going to make it pretty tough

for me to fix that date up for you.

Yeah, you better ride with me, Dynamite.

Wait a minute!

Somebody has to make out the report.

[Mocking] Somebody has to make out the report.

[Together] Goodbye.

Dames is money in this man's army, huh, Tulsa?

Don't look at me. I'm broke.

Yeah, I'd like to be as broke as you are.

? What's she really like ?

? The girl that you see me with? ?

? What's she really like ?

? The one I'm supposed to be with? ?

? Well, let me tell you she's wonderful ?

? She's marvelous ?

? And she's mine ?

? Talk about a chick ?

? She's all mine ?

Hey, Cookie, you know I was under that tank for four hours.

If I ever come back in the army, I'm putting in for general.

Not me. You're looking at a born civilian.

Say, when am I going to get

that $300 you guys owe me?

Oh, every day it's the same question, Sarge.

You'll get it.

I just don't happen to have it on me.

No pockets. Ha, ha.

Hey, somebody glommed my soap.

I think we had it for breakfast.

Hey, where's my soap?

Throw me my soap!

All right, all right.

Tulsa.

Stacy.

I borrow the car from my Uncle Otto.

We go for a ride later?

Sorry. We got to play tonight, honey.

Jawohl.

No, you don't understand. I mean, uh, here.

But I have the car.

Well, maybe after we're finished here.

Keep your motor running, honey.

Mmm.

You're in for a treat, Sarge. We're playing here tonight.

Ain't she a beauty? Just look at that shape.

That ain't the shape I'm interested in.

Where's Dynamite?

I see you got your pockets on.

The gelt, the gelt.

I'll take any part of that 300 bucks.

Sarge, you've been very patient,

so whatever Papa Mueller gives us tonight,

you get half, okay?

I'll be waiting.

Cookie: Hey, here's Papa Mueller.

Bye, Sarge.

Hi, Papa Mueller. Well, we're here.

Ready for the audition, like you said.

Boys, I did not say yes, I did not say no.

But you did say maybe.

The maybe's now no.

I'm afraid to take a chance with beginners.

But, Papa, I've been trying to tell you

we're the hottest combo this side of the Rhine.

This could make you famous.

You could discover The Three Blazes.

You don't have to pay much.

- How much? - How much can you afford?

- Nothing. - We'll take it.

If the price is nothing, I'll take the chance.

Ain't we working kind of cheap?

Think of the bright side.

If we get nothing,

then all McGraw gets is half of nothing.

Oh, yeah.

[All Chuckling]

[Chuckling]

[Rock 'n' Roll Playing]

McGraw: Dynamite.

Kommen sie in.

Hi, Sarge.

Well, we got one of each. Take your pick.

At ease.

Red's my favorite color.

Come on, girls. Let's get a drink at the bar.

Was ist, uh, your name?

Bitte.

[Applause]

At ease.

[Whistling And Cheering]

Hey, look. Papa wants to give us some money.

We just lost our amateur standing.

- Keep playing. I'll be right back. - Yeah.

You boys were very good.

Thanks.

This is going to help us get

our own little nightclub back in America.

As long as it is in America.

Please, no competition.

- Good luck. - Thanks, Papa.

40 marks... that's 10 bucks.

10 bucks added to $290 makes...

My $300.

Now wait a minute, Sarge.

Why?

Sure, Sarge. I just wasn't thinking, you know.

There it is, every penny we owe you.

And, Sarge, seeing that you did us

such a big favor by lending us the money

to buy the instruments and to get the combo started,

I am now going to do you a big favor.

What's this?

Well...

it used to be a chili parlor,

but we're turning it into

one of the hottest nightspots on the Oklahoma Turnpike,

and that's the lease.

Ricky, Cookie, and me, we're opening it up

as soon as we get out of the service,

and, Sarge, we want to make you a partner.

Why?

Well, because you... you're a good Joe,

you're a regular fellow,

and why shouldn't you be a partner in a nightclub?

A nightclub with dames?

A whole chorus line.

You can pick 'em and rehearse 'em.

And rehearse 'em?

Yeah. Heh heh heh heh.

And this will take care of your share of the lease.

See you later, partner.

[Slow Music Playing]

? I gave my heart ?

? I gave my love ?

? Oh ho, my darling ?

? I am true ?

? Doing the best ?

? The best I can ?

? The best I can ?

? But it's not good ?

? Enough for you ?

? For you ?

? I tried so hard ?

? So hard to please ?

? Oh ho, my darling ?

? What more can I do? ?

? Doing the best ?

? The best I can ?

? The best I can ?

? But it's not good ?

? Enough for you ?

? For you ?

? You know I was the kind who'd run ?

? Any time you'd call ?

? I guess I was the only one ?

? Who didn't mind at all ?

? I'll be a dreamer ?

? I'll be a fool ?

? Oh ho, my darling ?

? My whole life through ?

? Doing the best ?

? The best I can ?

? The best I can ?

? But it's not good ?

? Enough for you ?

? For you ?

? You know I was the kind who'd run ?

? Any time you'd call ?

? I guess I was the only one... ??

? ts one for the money... ?

Hey, what are you doing, mac?

The kid is singing.

So what? I want to hear the original.

Turn that thing off!

Turn Tulsa off.

I'll turn it off, Cookie.

Don't do it, Jeter.

? Do anything that you want to do ?

? But unh-unh, honey, lay off of my shoes ?

? Dont you step on my blue suede shoes... ?

[Crowd Yelling]

Women and children first.

Woman: Aah!

? Do anything that you want to do ?

? But unh-unh, honey, lay off my shoes ?

? Dont you ?

? Step on my blue suede shoes ?

? Well, you can do anything... ?

- [Whistle Blows] - Man: MPs!

Men: Come on, Tulsa. Get out of here!

MPs. Let's get out of here.

? Now go, cat, go ?

? But dont you ?

? Step on my blue suede shoes ?

? You can do anything... ?

Here, Papa.

This is to take care of the broken pretzels.

? Blue, blue, blue suede shoes ?

? Blue, blue, blue suede shoes... ?

Sorry, Papa.

Sarge, you're making a smart move,

and your signature on that little paper

makes you a full-fledged partner in the nightclub.

Hope I'm not making a mistake.

Oh, I almost forgot. We need 300 bucks.

$300?

A check will do.

Are you nuts? You got $300 off me last night.

Sarge, I'll try to explain.

Signing the lease is just part of it.

Now we need $600 to close the deal,

and you being our treasurer...

I resign, and give me my dough back.

Now, now, partners shouldn't quarrel.

Hmm? What's that? Coming Joe.

I didn't hear nothing.

[Train Whistle Blows]

See you guys later.

Where are you going?

I got to buttonhole that guy who saw Marla.

Tulsie, can I throw you a few leads?

Oh, you know I don't bother with used phone numbers.

Ha ha ha.

Did McGraw sign the lease?

He signed everything, but wouldn't come across

with the rest of that dough.

Then what good is it?

We need $600, and we only got $300.

Cookie, I know. I know.

- Hi, Dynamite. - Hi, Turk.

Hey, how are the frauleins in Frankfurt?

Good pickings?

Great for me, which makes it kind of tough on you.

I'll take my chances.

I followed you in Hawaii, didn't I?

And I wound up with 12 hula skirts

in my footlocker.

Dynamite batted a thousand, almost.

It's that "almost"

that separates the men from the boys.

Every time you went to bat in Frankfurt,

you stole home?

Turk was knocked out of the box just once, huh, Turk?

You mean Lili?

Yeah.

She don't count.

Who's this Lili?

She's a dancer in the Cafe Europa.

There ain't a G.I. In the Third Armored Division can date her.

She's a real fooler...

Steam heat outside, iceberg inside.

Yeah? Well, I got 50 bucks

that says I can defrost her.

And I got $50 I'd like to double.

I got Lili as far as the door.

Let's see if you can make it inside

and stay around a few hours... till dawn?

Give me three days.

I'll give you a week.

That's a bet.

- Man: $ 10 on Dynamite. - I've got $20.

- Man #2: $50. - Man #3: I've got $25.

[All Talking]

I've got $300 on Dynamite.

$300?

Come on, anybody going to cover it?

Yeah, sure.

Wait a minute. I want a piece of that. 50 bucks.

But you're with us.

I know, but I'm betting against you.

I'll watch out for your interest, Turk.

Good. You can hold the stakes.

Okay, come on.

Hi, Padre!

All: Hi, Padre.

Just getting the names of some art galleries

to visit in Frankfurt.

Of course, of course.

You know, the Cafe Europa has some wonderful paintings.

Okay, let's go.

All right, men,

Cross the street, on the double.

Briefing from Captain O'Brien.

Let's move out.

Man: Give me the money.

Man: Hup 4, hup 4, hup 4, hup 4, hup 4.

Dive 4. Hup.

Company, halt!

Right face!

At ease. This won't take long.

As you men realize, all of you are, in a sense,

American ambassadors to West Germany.

Your conduct during your tour of duty in Frankfurt

is therefore of the greatest importance.

There must be no black sheep among you,

which I regret to say is not the case.

Sergeant Bixby.

- Sir? - Bixby, you're a good soldier,

a fine soldier in every respect but one.

We keep getting complaints from German fathers.

But Sir, I don't know any German fathers.

Might be better if you did.

We put our heads together,

and the best answer was to ship you to Alaska.

- Captain, you can't do... - Who said that?

We take off at ten hundred hours.

Fall in to entrain at 0950.

Questions?

Company...

attention!

Dismiss your platoons.

Dismissed.

Cookie, see what you can do with Turk.

Would you like a little sugar in your coffee?

Two lumps.

Gladly. Gladly.

Turk, all we want is a fair shake. That's all.

It's not our fault

that Dynamite's being shipped to Alaska.

What do you say?

Okay, Cookie, I'll give you a fair shake.

Thanks.

Anybody in your outfit can make the play for Lili.

Cookie, we're pulling out.

I got to get my gear.

It's on board.

What do you say? The bet's off?

The bet's on. Good luck. You're going to need it.

[Turk Laughing]

[Train Whistle Blows]

You've got to help us out. We're on the spot.

How many times do I have to tell you?

With me, romancing a girl is a hobby,

not a business.

When I'm romantic, I can't think about money.

Okay, okay. Who's second on the list?

- Jeter. - Jeter?

He's been married six times.

Somebody must have liked him.

I mean, maybe there's still a spark left.

Let's go ask him.

300 bucks down the drain.

Looks like I'm in real trouble

with the Sarge this time.

You're not the only one in a jam.

There's Rick and me,

our nightclub in Oklahoma, everything.

You just sent The Three Blazes up in smoke.

Yeah, I guess I did.

I knew you wouldn't let us down.

I didn't say I'd take Dynamite's place.

That's just what we need...

a modest, unassuming, gentlemanly type fella

that can get his foot in a door and keep it there.

Here, Rick, take over. Hey, fellas!

You're nuts. You're nuts, Cookie.

Hey, I found out where Marla's working.

Good. Looks like you're in business.

Looks like we both are.

Fellas, Tulsa's going to take Dynamite's place.

That's great!

[Whistle Blows]

? Is this train the Frankfurt Special? ?

? Ja, ja, ja, ja ?

? Ain't this outfit something special? ?

? Ja, ja, ja, ja ?

? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa ?

? Whoa, whoa, whoa ?

What a welcome... nothing.

Who and what are you waving at?

Oh, I don't know.

What have I got to lose? Somebody might wave back.

I was saving this stuff for my wedding night,

but this is more important.

If I'm going to do this, let me do it my way,

and don't put that smelly stuff on me.

Any luck with Marla?

The store won't give me any dope.

I got to get over there.

Good luck, Rick.

Tulsa, how you going to break the ice

with this gal?

Charm, boy, charm.

I'll just walk up to her and say, "All my life, Lili,

"I've been hoping to meet a gorgeous babe like you.

Let's get over to your apartment."

No, no. You got to be more subtle.

Well, how's this?

"Little girl, I'm not one of those G.I. Wolves

"that hang around nightclubs all the time.

"Give me your key

and I'll meet you at your place."

That's subtle?

He's only kidding, Harvey.

Oh, relax, you guys. I'll play it my way...

nice, clean, wholesome.

So don't get shook up.

And look, I don't mind doing this for you guys,

for all of us,

but don't try to help me, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Let's go.

Cookie: Operation Lili, Europa bound!

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

There she is, Tuls, target for tonight.

Well, say something.

Wow.

Yeah, you said it for all of us.

Hey, fellas, come on.

Come on and take a look. Wow, wow, wow!

Oh, yeah.

Wow!

Hey, hey, hey.

Lili!

[Whistles]

[Jazz Music Playing]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

She really cools a guy off, doesn't she?

This might be tougher than we expected.

Might not. Strategy. That's what we need.

Come to the manager's office. We'll fix you.

Wine for Mr. Klugman, on the house.

I think I'll do a little reconnaissance work.

Spread out, fellas. Give me room to operate.

May I?

Yes, of course.

Thanks.

Can I, uh, buy you a drink?

No, thank you.

[Drumroll]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a request

from an American colonel to hear a song

from one of the soldiers in his command.

Will Specialist Tulsa McClain please come up?

Man: Get up there, boy.

Better sing, soldier.

Your loyal public is waiting.

This might be the end of a beautiful beginning.

I thought I told you not to help.

What did I do?

[Mocking] What did I do?

Wait till you get a load of this guy.

He's a buddy of mine. Tulsa McClain.

Specialist Tulsa McClain. Ring a bell? Huh?

I do not believe

I have ever heard of the gentleman.

You haven't heard of Tulsa?

[Playing Rock 'n' Roll]

? You got the huggin'est arms ?

? The thrillin'est eyes ?

? You're just my style, and you're just the right size ?

? Gonna stop ?

? Oh, shoppin' around ?

? Do do do-do do ?

? I wanna stop shoppin' around ?

? 'Cause I've found ?

? The girl that I'm lookin' for ?

? Oh, the very first time you touched my lips ?

? Took my little red book and then I tore it in bits ?

? Ain't gonna be ?

? Oh, a-searchin' no more ?

? I'm gonna stop shoppin' around ?

? 'Cause I've found ?

? The girl that I'm lookin' for ?

? There ain't no other darlin' I want to hold ?

? Hey-ey, baby, I really am sold on you ?

? Such a pretty little package I never did see ?

? I'm gonna wrap you up and take you home with me ?

? I'm thrilled ?

? Like never before ?

? I wanna stop shoppin' around ?

? 'Cause I've found ?

? The girl that I'm lookin' for ?

? I'm gonna stop ?

? Oh, shoppin' around ?

? I'm gonna stop ?

? Shoppin' around ?

? I'm gonna stop ?

? Shoppin' around ?

He's not bad, your friend.

Yeah. You two ought to get together.

I mean, you're both entertainers.

Wait here. I'll get him.

Wine. Sitzen sie!

Man: This army's tough.

Manager: Compliments of the house.

She flipped her lid about you. She's waiting for you.

Yeah? Where?

Come on.

Hey, where did Lili go?

She wanted to get together with my pal here.

I do not think so.

So she really flipped over me, huh?

I think she must have flipped out of here.

Now what?

You tell me.

We just lost the first round. That's all.

Yeah, but you can get knocked out

in the first round.

You wish a drink?

Yeah, arsenic on the rocks.

Make that two.

Two beers.

Okay, two beers.

Please, Miss Lili, be reasonable.

Look, if I nearly drowned Herr Klugman,

it is his own fault.

No, I will not apologize.

All right, all right, do not apologize,

but he is one of our best customers.

Would it hurt to sit with him

and smile a little?

Tell Herr Klugman that I'm very sorry,

but I'm tired, and I am going home.

He will not understand that.

All right.

Tell him that I have a previous engagement

with two American soldiers.

You like anything else?

You never know.

Bye, bello.

Rome wasn't built in a day,

and the way they put her together,

I'm glad they took their time.

You were going to introduce me to your friend.

Yeah, yeah. Tulsa, Lili. Lili, Tulsa.

Lili, would you like to join us?

Yes, please.

Here you are, right here.

Thank you.

Pretty fast, Cookie.

I've not seen you in here before.

This is your first visit to the Europa?

First time.

Never been here before.

Here you go.

Good breeding, fine manners...

This boy could be in the Diplomatic Service,

but he'd rather be a soldier.

I enjoyed your song very much.

That was your work before you were a soldier?

Well, it might be when I get out.

With Cookie here and another buddy,

we might open our own club.

Not that this boy has to make a living.

He's not one of those rich, spoiled playboys

like other oil millionaires' sons.

You'd never know he was sole heir

to 100,000 acres deep in the heart of Texas.

Sorry. It just slipped out.

Tulsa wants to make it on his own.

Wouldn't take a nickel from his old man.

That shows much character.

Why don't you take a walk, Cookie, huh?

Yeah, I guess I'd better get out of here

before I spill the beans

about your grandfather's railroad.

I do not like it here.

We shall go to some other place.

Anything you say, honey.

You won't get in any trouble

leaving here for the night?

I leave when I want to, and I want to now.

Lili.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, don't you want to see how he makes out?

Later. I got a little side bet going on me.

Get going.

Where we going tonight, honey?

I'd prefer it if you didn't call me honey.

You didn't mind it inside.

Now we're outside.

But I got the idea

you and me kind of hit it off.

Oh. You and Herr Klugman have much in common.

Now wait a minute, honey.

No "honey."

Look, if you and I are going places tonight...

We are not going anyplace.

You helped me get rid of Herr Klugman.

Thank you. Now I'm going home... alone.

But we got a date.

A rich young man from Texas shouldn't have any trouble

in finding a date.

I'm not a rich young man, son of an oil millionaire.

The closest I ever came to oil

was draining crankcases at a gas station.

And your grandfather's railroad?

My grandfather was a brakeman on the Texas Central.

Ha ha ha.

What's so funny?

Oh, come on, you poor millionaire.

I'll buy you a drink, honey.

Let's go.

[Playing German Folk Music]

And when your friend

mentioned the 100,000 acres in Texas,

you should have seen the look on your face.

Yeah. Now I know why I lose at poker.

You should see that Tuls operate.

Nice to see you, Lili.

Oh, nice to see you.

It's not like your music, huh?

We play too slow?

Unh-unh, no.

It's just that we do it a little differently.

But if it is too slow, it is dull,ja?

Nein, not if you're with it.

The rhythm has to just sort of ooze out.

Was ist "ooze"?

Ha ha ha. Show him was ist "ooze."

Okay, I show you was ist "ooze."

Ja, ja, "ooze."

[Playing Rock 'n' Roll]

? Hold me tight ?

? The moon is so bright ?

? Tonight is so right for love ?

? Now's the time ?

? To say you'll be mine ?

? Tonight is so right for love ?

? One by one the stars appear ?

? They twinkle in your eyes ?

? Who'd believe that we'd be here ?

? So near to paradise? ?

? This could be the kiss ?

? To unlock heaven's door ?

? That magic hour of bliss ?

? That we both waited for ?

? I love you more and more ?

? Oh, well, we can fly ?

? Right up to the sky ?

? Do things we've been dreaming of ?

? And how real they would seem ?

? A midsummer night dream ?

? Can't you see that tonight ?

? Is so right ?

? For love? ?

? Ah ah-ah ah ?

? Ah ah-ah ah ?

? Ah-ah ?

? And how real they would seem ?

? A midsummer night's dream ?

? Can't you see that tonight ?

? Is so right ?

? For love? ?

? Ah ah-ah ah ?

? Ah-ah ah ?

? Hold me tight ?

? The moon's so bright tonight ?

? So right ?

? For love ?

[Applause]

Das ist "ooze."

Jawohl.

That was very nice.

Danke schoen.

Would you like to go someplace else?

Yeah, let's do that.

He's off and running.

Turk had her this far

and got dumped in the stretch.

It's on me, fellas.

Auf wiedersehen.

Let's go someplace where we can get some food.

No music.

We'll go home, and I'll make you

a nice liederkranz and pumpernickel

and some coffee.

I wouldn't want you to go to all that trouble.

Of course, it would be quiet,

and I'm very good at doing dishes.

Okay, liederkranz, pumpernickel, and coffee.

And for dessert,

we get some delicious apple strudel.

Hey, you are hungry.

I'm a growing boy, ma'am.

I'll get a cab.

No, no. We'll walk. It's not far.

We'll find a place to get some apple strudel.

Why, thanks, ma'am.

Um, I don't like "ma'am."

Neither do I, honey.

You keep an eye on them. I'll call Cookie.

Cafe Europa, please.

Talk a little louder. What's the latest?

Breakthrough. He's walking her home.

She's going to make him a sandwich...

liederkranz on pumpernickel.

They're stopping on the way for strudel.

Good. A man can't do his best work on an empty stomach.

Aha. Three and a half hours to go.

He'd better take small bites

on that liederkranz and pumpernickel.

And you better leave word at the barracks

where she lives.

I may be a little late.

You're beautiful, Tina.

You had no trouble with the manager

to let me off early?

No trouble.

I told him I was your cousin Angelo.

And he believed you?

Why shouldn't he?

You believe me, Tina, don't you?

Before we go to that little night spot I mentioned,

I want you to know something...

I'm not that kind of guy.

What kind of a guy you mean, Cookie?

The kind of guy you think I am...

Smooth, tricky, a heartbreaker.

You got me wrong.

I believe you.

They don't hand out these good-conduct medals

to just anybody.

Che bello, Cookie.

Che bella, Tina.

Ein taxi, bitte.

Cookie, I think we have fun tonight.

I love going to nightclubs.

Personally, I can't stand them.

What were you doing at the Europa, then?

Well, I was lonely, Tina,

a lonely soldier far from home.

I'm far from home, too. I come from Milano.

Funny, isn't it?

Here we are, two lonely people far from home,

neither one of us with a cozy apartment

to invite the other one to,

where we could sit and read

and maybe listen to records on the grammofunken.

I have an apartment.

You have?

But no grammofunken.

No grammofunken?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Who needs a grammofunken? We'll make our own music.

Bella, Cookie.

Danke schoen.

Fraulein will give you the address.

Tulsa, tell me more about Oklahoma.

Oh, you've heard just about everything.

But it's so interesting.

Uh, your Indian grandmother...

She was a full-blooded Cherokee?

Smoked a corncob pipe till she was over 90,

and played a guitar.

She taught me how.

I thought Indians only played tom-toms.

Oh, now, that's just in the movies.

Now, you take my Uncle Charlie.

Leaping Bear... that's his real name.

He plays the best high clarinet

that you'd ever want to hear.

Ah, yes. Like in the movies,

all Germans are submarine commanders

and all French girls are cancan dancers.

Same thing.

You know, that's the trouble with people.

If people got to know each other better,

then they'd get to know each other better,

and everything would be better all around.

Much better.

Ha ha ha.

You like my pizza?

Oh, Roman hors d'oeuvres. It's no wonder Nero got fat.

I'm glad you like. I make some more.

Oh, not now. Let's, uh, let's talk a while.

We talk.

We talk about Park Avenue, New York,

where you come from.

Okay, what do you want to know, my little bambino?

Ha ha ha. You make a mistake.

Bambino... It's a boy baby.

Oh, that is a mistake.

Baby, you're no boy.

Mnh-mnh. To live in Park Avenue, New York,

one must be rich.

Mm-hmm.

Cookie, are you rich?

Well, now, money isn't everything, Tina.

Take me, for instance.

Before I decided to make the army... ahem... my career,

the only girls I ever met were, uh, debutantes.

Dull, artificial butterflies.

Oh, they could play tennis and ride and raise beagles,

but could they cook pizza?

Not on your life.

I cannot raise a bagel.

Beagle.

That's what I said... bagel.

But since 12 years old, I can cook a pizza.

Tina knows what a man likes.

Oh, I could tell that the minute I looked at you.

Cookie.

I mean, you're very understanding.

You're a simple, understanding,

Italian farm girl.

I come from the city.

My father is a butcher.

Better yet.

A simple, understanding butcher's daughter.

Oh, Tina, I respect you.

And I respect you.

And that's what makes the world go 'round...

respect.

Cookie.

What, uh, what are you doing here

in... in Tina's apartment?

Oh, but it's my apartment, too. We're roommates.

Tulsa, I would like you to meet Tin...

Oh, but you already met her in the Europa.

I'll fix the coffee and the strudel.

Come help me, Tina.

And how did you get here?

It wasn't easy.

You fouled it up again.

What's he doing up there?

Who cares?

The bet says Tulsa's got to be alone with Lili.

We know.

I'm supposed to be alone with her.

Well, you can't be alone with Tina here.

That's right. Get your hat.

Lili, you break your rule, huh?

For the first time, you let someone in the apartment.

Oh, but he's not like the others.

He's so open...

and honest.

Just like my Cookie.

We'll have everything ready in a few minutes.

I'm sorry. We're going to have to beat it.

Oh? Oh... Oh, what a pity.

Cookie just reminded me it's our first night in town.

We have to get back to quarters early.

We're due for passes tomorrow.

We wouldn't want to lose them.

I've got plans for us.

Cookie.

Tina, hand me a paper bag, please.

I'll give you some strudel for the road.

Thanks.

Look, about that pass tomorrow...

If you get a pass,

maybe we can take a trip to Aschaffenburg.

Ever since I was a little kid,

I always wanted to see Aschaffenburg.

Where is it?

Cookie: Come on. We better get going.

Okay, General.

Auf wiedersehen.

Arrivederci.

I didn't know you could speak German.

I didn't know you could speak Italian.

Here's the strudel.

Thank you.

Auf wiedersehen.

Cookie and Tulsa: Auf wiedersehen.

Arrivederci.

Tina, you know something?

In Oklahoma, Indians do not always play tom-toms.

Lili, you know something?

Before me, he only knew girls who raised bagels.

Tina.

Cookie, how did you get up there?

I'm stupid.

That's right.

Why didn't Turk tell us Lili had a roommate?

Because you didn't ask him.

Why don't you throw in the towel

and let me pay off the bets?

Because we're going to win. Right, Tulsa?

Right. Tonight reconnaissance,

tomorrow the Battle of the Bulge.

Yeah.

You can do it.

[Engine Rumbling]

[Engine Winds Down]

Tulsa!

Hey, why don't you watch where you're going?

Ha ha ha ha. Oh, hi, Sarge. Glad you dropped by.

I'd like to talk to you about a pass this afternoon.

No dice. As of now, you're doing guard duty.

But it's Saturday.

So it's Saturday.

This is important. It's for us.

What do you mean?

I'm going to try to get the trio booked

on the armed forces show for tomorrow.

It'll be worth a fortune in publicity...

for our nightclub, you know.

That's different, partner. Why didn't you say so?

I guess I'm just stupid.

Yeah.

"Sergeant McGraw."

Oh, thanks, Sarge.

You better make one of those out for Cookie.

Mm-hmm. "Sergeant McGraw."

Oh, thanks, Sarge.

And... and Rick, too.

Uh, they might want us to audition.

Maybe I ought to go along with you, huh?

Like, you could say I'm your manager.

We'd love to have you, Sarge, but they need you here.

You run this man's outfit.

I do?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Ha ha.

Thanks, Sarge. Thanks. Ha ha ha ha.

[Engine Clunking]

Tina,

Tina,

Tina,

Tina,

Tina.

You know, everything that moves

reminds me of that girl.

Of all the rotten luck.

First I get transferred to North Africa for a year,

and when I finally get here,

the landlady tells me Marla moves

and left no address.

That's tough.

[Engine Catches]

Hey, you did it.

All she needed was a little sweetening.

Hey, a little sweetening.

That's it. That's how I get to her landlady!

Thanks, Cook!

What did I say?

All right, men. Knock it off.

3-day passes.

For you.

You're a pal. I can sure use it.

How did you wangle them? Never mind, I'll take it.

Lili's picking me up in half an hour.

You're doing real good. I think she goes for you.

I can't figure out what's the matter.

I'm not enjoying it like I should,

with the bet and everything.

Don't let it bother you.

You like Lili and she likes you.

If your buddies can make a little money on the side,

is that bad, huh?

I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

That's better.

[Horn Honks]

[Beep Beep Beep]

Good luck.

Good afternoon.

Hi.

Oh, I like that better.

Hi.

Hope I'm as lucky as he is.

I hope you are, too.

There's our bus. Let's grab it.

Oh.

[Speaking German]

I want to talk to you about Fraulein Marla.

I told you yesterday

Fraulein Marla does not live here anymore.

She has moved. Where, I do not know.

Maybe this will help you.

Young man, if you gave me one million marks,

I still could not help you.

But Mrs. Hegermann, I'm...

Do not come back.

You waste your time and my time.

Marla?

Marla?

Where is this child?

Marla.

Yes, Mrs. Hegermann?

He was here again.

I hope this time he will not come back.

Marla, only when you are in love

can you be so angry with someone.

Why don't you see him?

No.

He seems such a nice young man.

I'm sure if he knew the circumstances, he...

Please, Mrs. Hegermann.

I do not wish to talk about him. Please?

[Baby Crying]

Thank you.

Do you have scenery like this in Oklahoma?

No, ma'am.

I mean, uh, well, we have Catfish Creek

and the Red River, and that's about it.

Come on.

[Ferry Bell Rings]

[Ding Ding Ding Ding]

[Ding Ding Ding Ding]

Frankfurt Am Main is so cold

because it is on the River Main,

which flows into the Rhine,

which eventually flows into the North Sea.

I wouldn't want it any other way.

Oh, observe this excellent example

of ancient handiwork, uh,

dated by the artist in the year...

Ha ha. 1959.

"Fritz liebe Emma."

For those who do not know,

liebe translated means "love."

You don't have to explain that to a G.I.

That's one of the first words he learns

when he gets over here.

You, too, Tulsa?

Oh, absolutely.

Like, uh, "Liebe that sauerkraut."

I was not thinking of sauerkraut.

Hey, here's another one.

"Fritz liebe Dora."

I have one, too. Hey.

"Fritz liebe Hilda."

That Fritz gets around.

You know...

You know, I have something to confess.

Last night when I sat down at your table, I thought,

"Oh-oh, another one to watch out for."

And when you sat down, I figured,

"Well, now here she is,

the gal I've heard so much about."

Oh, I have a reputation?

Yeah, but it's a good one.

You're supposed to be a cold potato,

a human iceberg, the original fish-eye.

Oh, please.

So many compliments will go to my head.

Pretty,ja?

Jawohl.

[Children Shrieking]

[Children Shrieking]

[Shrieking]

Whoa.

Apaches.

What's all the excitement about? The circus in town?

Much better than that... a puppet show.

Yeah? I've never seen one before.

It's times like this I wish I was 7 years old.

Come on. For a half hour, we'll be 7 again.

Girl: Ach, Papa.

Papa, ch liebe ihn so sehr.

Man: Was heisst lieben? Was heisst lieben?

Siehst du, junge?

Ch brauche den jungen nicht hier in meinem haus.

Ach, Papa, verstehst du mich denn nicht?

Er ist ja so suess.

Was heisst suess?

Ch sage dir,

derjunge kommt ja nicht mehr ins haus.

If the soldier really loves her,

he'll never give up.

10 to 1, he chickens out.

Bet?

Bet.

Ach!

Papa! Papa!

Ach, du lieber himmel.

[Applause]

Happy ending. You win.

Oh, it's not over yet. Now he sings to her.

No music.

Oh, it's a full orchestra.

[Accordion Music Playing]

[Children Laughing]

[Singing Too Fast]

[Winding Down]

Maybe I can get that thing going for him.

Was ist los?

Kaputt.

Kaputt, huh?

Do you know this tune?

Ja, I know.

And do you think you can play it on your squeeze box?

What do you say we give it a whirl?

We give it, like you say, a whirl.

I'll try anything once.

[Warming Up Accordion]

[Cymbal Crash]

[Cheers And Applause]

? Can't you see I love you? ?

? Please don't break my heart in two ?

? That's not hard to do ?

? 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart ?

? And if you say goodbye ?

? Then I know that I would cry ?

? Maybe I would die ?

? 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart ?

? There's no strings upon this love of mine ?

? It was always you from the start ?

? Treat me nice ?

? Treat me good ?

? Treat me like you really should ?

? Wie du wirklich sollst ?

? 'Cause I don't have a wooden heart ?

Ow. Ouch.

Oh. Ow. Oh.

Whoa. Oh.

[Cheering]

In front of you, the famous Niederwald.

I would like to point out that the summit

of the Niederwald

rises 985 feet above sea level,

740 feet above the river.

Uh, do these things ever break down?

I mean, suppose we got stuck up there all night?

Oh, no need to worry.

I wasn't worried. I was, uh, hoping.

You know, I kind of like it up here.

It's, uh, very... cozy.

The vineyards of the Niederwald

have been in existence for over 300 years.

Uh! You know, riding forward makes me dizzy.

Oh, well, you better sit here.

And I'll sit over here.

Observe the neatness and precision

of the grape fields.

Tulsa, what are you doing?

I just want to sit next to you, that's all.

There now, isn't that better?

Much better.

? Rainbows ?

? Rainbows ?

? Rainbows ?

? I don't worry ?

? Whenever skies are gray above ?

? Got a pocketful of rainbows ?

? Got a heart full of love ?

? Rainbows ?

? Rainbows ?

? Mr. Heartache ?

? I've found a way to make him leave ?

? Got a pocketful of rainbows ?

? Got a star up my sleeve ?

? No more heartaches ?

? Now that I found a love so true ?

? I got a pocketful of rainbows ?

? And an armful of you ?

? Rainbows ?

? Rainbows ?

? Rainbows ?

You're very quiet.

You haven't said anything for such a long time.

Didn't you enjoy yourself today?

Yes, I did, maybe too much.

Tulsa?

Yeah?

So far I've been making all the plans.

Tonight after work, we do what you want.

Come on, honey.

You're so generous to buy me a ticket to Milano.

I'll be so happy to see my mama and papa.

Listen, Tina, I know what it is to be homesick.

I can't go back to Park Avenue just yet,

but I can treat you to a visit to your family.

[With German Accent] Keepun ze change.

I don't want you to miss that plane.

Well, it won't be long now.

You're so sweet to do this for me.

I'm doing it for myself, too.

Huh?

I mean, if you're happy, I'm happy.

Man: The plane for Milano will be delayed two hours.

Cookie, you do not have to stay.

You have been too kind already.

How can I ever repay you?

Oh, I'll think of something.

Bye, Tina.

[Knock On Door]

Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, my millionaire friend from Oklahoma,

where do we go tonight?

That's what I want to talk about.

I'm going to have to break our date.

Oh, you have no more pass?

No, that's not it. I just have to call off our date.

Oh?

I should have realized.

You're a soldier.

You can't afford to take a girl out every night.

No. It's nothing like that.

See, I had a great time this afternoon.

So did I.

I've been thinking about it ever since.

I like you a lot.

I'm glad.

More than a lot.

I'm more than glad.

You see, a guy like me on temporary duty,

he meets a girl he thinks a lot of,

like you.

They go out together and they have a good time,

and all of a sudden things start to get serious.

Oh?

And before you know it, somebody gets hurt.

I don't want that to happen.

I see.

You've obviously given the matter much thought.

I have.

You're trying to tell me that it would be best for me

that we do not see each other anymore.

Yeah.

Well, I guess that's it.

Hey, Cookie.

Tulsa.

- Hi, Tuls. - Hi, Tuls.

Have I got good news. No roommate tonight.

I bought Tina a plane ticket to Milano.

Sorry. I just canceled out.

You what?

Oh, no. You didn't tell Lili about the bet.

I didn't tell Lili about anything.

I just called off our date.

You're off of your rocker.

I'm going back to the barracks.

The bet is off.

But, Tulsa...

Nothing you can say will change my mind.

Okay. Okay, so you were born with a decent streak.

Nobody's perfect.

Sorry, fellas.

A stein of gin.

Was?

Jawohl. Jawohl.

Hi, Tuls.

Hi, Mike.

Rick's been trying to reach you.

He left this number for you to call.

Very important, he says.

Thanks a lot, Jeter.

Hi.

Well, what's everybody so happy about?

Aw, shut up.

What did I say?

I got an idea.

Don't do nothing till you hear from me.

Hey, where's he going? What are you guys planning?

[Knock On Door]

Yes?

It's me... Cookie.

Well, come in.

Cookie, I'm very pleased to see you.

You are?

Well, yes. I was just having a drink.

Won't you join me?

Yeah. I don't mind if I do.

It's none of my business...

you were going to drink all of this alone?

Not all. Just a little.

My morale is very low, Cookie.

Mine, too.

I was about to ask for a tranquilizer.

This should help.

It's too bad about you and Tulsa.

He's quite a character, your friend.

I'm not used to men who break dates with me.

I don't blame you for being sore at him.

Oh, I'm not, uh, sore.

I admire him.

We'll drink a toast...

to a gentleman.

Yeah, here's to Benedict Arnold.

You know, Cookie, in this business,

it's very unusual and very refreshing

to meet a young man with principles.

I shall miss him.

[Knock On Door]

Man: Your number, Miss Lili.

Oh, yes, I'm ready.

You'll excuse me?

Of course. I've got to join my gang, too.

I wouldn't miss your number, Lili.

Fellas, you're looking at a guy

that just left a babe that is really carrying a torch.

The welcome mat is still out for Tulsa.

[Audience Applauds]

Hey, Cookie, I thought you said

Tina was on her way to Milano.

The roommate.

She's probably been there and back already.

These jet flights get faster every day.

See you later.

Tina, baby, you're not supposed to be here.

Sí, I changed my mind.

But you were so homesick for Milano.

But then after you leave, I'm homesick for you.

And I miss my work.

I missed you, too, sugar.

Right after you get through working tonight,

we're going to do the town, just you and your Cookie.

Oh, good, Cookie.

Tuls, come on in. Come on, come on.

Glad you came over.

What are you so shook up about?

Take your hat off. Sit down. Sit down.

Oh, stand up. Stand up.

First, you've got to have a cigar.

You said this was an emergency.

I found Marla.

I had a hunch you did.

We're going to be married.

You want me to be best man, right?

No, we need a babysitter.

A babysitter?

Marla.

Hello, Tulsa. It's good to see you again.

It's good to see you,

both of you.

He's beautiful, no?

He's beautiful, yes, but how did...

I mean, who did... I don't know what I mean.

Congratulations, Rick. You, too, Marla.

Can you imagine this little dummkopf not telling me?

Her landlady double-crossed her.

Mrs. Hegermann is a very wise woman.

Honey, Tulsa must have a million questions.

Tell him about your silly pride...

how you ran out on me with a baby on the way.

It was not pride.

But when I received a letter from a young lady in America

saying she is engaged to the man who says he loves me...

That was her story.

Look, I already had a license to marry you

and the C.O.'s permission.

But I did not know. You should have told me.

You never gave me a chance.

You were gone without a word.

Tuls, you must have a million questions.

No, I think you just answered them all.

We're making a quick trip

to Heidelberg to use that license.

That's why we need a babysitter.

I'm glad to help out. There's only one thing wrong.

The G.I. Manual didn't brief us

on this kind of an emergency.

If he cries, just give him his bottle.

His formula's all fixed.

But he will not cry. He's a very good baby.

Well, good.

I put him back to bed.

Good night, son.

Good night, little fella.

Say good night to him.

Good night.

I've got to buy my kid a present.

A bicycle?

A bicycle?

Sure. He's a boy, isn't he?

What's his name?

Uh, Junior.

Junior, huh? Well, that figures.

Oh, yeah. Ha ha ha.

Ready, honey?

Shh. He will sleep like a baby.

Why not? He is a baby.

We're off.

Come back anytime.

If you are hungry,

there's some liverwurst in the icebox

right next to the baby's bottle.

Take care.

Oh, I'll do that.

[Whistling]

[Baby Starts Crying]

Air raid.

Whoa.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now just be calm.

Calm down. Calm down. That goes for both of us.

Hey, hey, hey. Now don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Your ma and pa will be right back.

They just went away to get married.

No. Kootchie...

I'm your old Uncle Tulsa. Let's play, huh?

Hey, look, look, look.

I can't say I blame you.

Hey, I know. You're hungry, aren't you?

We'll fix that.

We'll fix that.

At ease. At ease.

Wait, wait. Shh, shh. Shh.

You just take it easy now.

You stay right here.

You stay right here,

and I'll go get your milk, okay?

Just don't run off anywhere.

Just don't run off.

Now see what you've made me do? Waah!

I'll be there, mach schnell!

Oh, no.

Hey! No, wait!

You can't have that.

Give it to your Uncle Tulsa.

Come on. Aw...

Army manual, section 43.

When in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy,

apply judo chop to the back of neck.

If you was only my size, you little rascal.

Come on, come on. Give it here.

Milk. Milk.

You got to have... No milk.

I got to get milk.

I got to get help.

[Baby Continues Crying]

You make more noise than a tank.

Give me the Cafe Europa, please. This is an emergency.

Telephone, Miss Lili.

Lili: Oh, thank you.

Hello.

Hello, Lili? It's me, Tulsa.

Tulsa.

What's all that noise?

Oh, that's the baby.

Baby?

I don't want to bother you at work, Lili,

but I'm babysitting for a buddy

who just ran away to get married,

and I'm in trouble.

Oh, I know. You don't know how to change a diaper.

I haven't even come to that problem yet.

I don't think I have.

The bottle with the kid's formula broke,

and he's crying and everything.

He's going nuts. Lili, it's an emergency.

I was just leaving here, Tulsa.

I can meet you in my apartment in about 20 minutes.

We'll be right over. Goodbye.

Come on, Tiger.

Good news, boys. That was Tulsa.

Once more, love is in bloom.

You should have heard that honey voice...

"I'll meet you in my apartment, Tulsa, in 20 minutes."

Don't just sit there. Get going.

Right.

Operation Dawn Patrol.

Here we go.

[Baby Crying]

Hang on.

Shh, shh. Just take it easy.

I'm sure glad women have the babies.

[Baby Crying]

What's he bringing her?

That's a magnum of champagne, you dope.

This boy thinks big.

It's only 2:30. He can still be kicked out.

He won't. Let's get some coffee.

We've got a long wait.

The tiger is quiet.

He's a good baby.

He's a time bomb.

You never know when he's going to go off.

Whoa, whoa. I'm only kidding.

Nothing personal, Tiger.

Uh, Lili, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but, uh,

you were the first person I could think of...

The only one.

I'm flattered.

I'm also very glad.

I didn't think I would see you again.

Yeah, that goes for me, too.

Yes, sir. I'm sure glad I had to babysit tonight.

Oh, you like babies?

After they grow up.

Kootchie-kootchie.

Hey, none of that kootchie-kootchie.

You just sit there.

I think he's getting ready to bust loose again.

Oh, all babies love to cry

sometimes because they're hungry or teething or sleepy,

and I think sometimes just so they can hear a lullaby.

Oh, I get it.

Blackmail, huh?

Well, certainly.

Don't they have lullabies in Oklahoma?

I don't like that look in your eye, Tiger.

Okay, okay, I'm gonna.

Just trying to remember the words.

A lullaby.

? They call your daddy Big Boots ?

? Big Boots is his name ?

? It takes a big man to wear big boots ?

? That's your daddy's claim to fame ?

? They know your daddy Big Boots ?

? Wherever soldiers are ?

? 'Cause he can handle an army tank ?

? Just like a kiddy car ?

? So sleep, little soldier ?

? Don't you cry ?

? Doo-doo-doo dooh mm-doo-doo ?

? General Sandman soon coming by ?

? Doo-doo-doo dooh mm-doo-doo-doo ?

? I'm gonna tell you a little secret ?

? You won't believe it's true ?

? Did you know your daddy Big Boots ?

? Once wore little boots like you? ?

? Once wore little boots like you? ?

I guess I took care of that pretty well, didn't I?

Uh-huh. And as your reward,

you can help me clean the kitchen.

K.P. Duty again.

[Baby Gurgling]

1:00 on the dot.

Honey, like I said, it's too early to go home.

Again 1:00? It was 1:00 2 hours ago.

Hmm?

What do you know? My watch stopped.

Waiter, Waiter.

Beer. We'd like more beer.

Jawohl.

Cookie, I am not thirsty. I am tired.

I want to go home.

Man, this is really babysitting.

Shh.

He's asleep, huh?

He won't be any more trouble.

You mean, I should take him home now.

Well, while he's asleep, it would be better.

Yeah. Well, I might as well get going,

as long as he's asleep.

I think so.

I'll get his basket.

[Whispering] Wake up, Tiger. Wake up.

Hey, wake up, Tiger.

[Baby Starts Crying]

Hey, wake up, Tiger. That a boy. That a boy.

[Baby Crying]

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Well, that settles it.

You better stay now until he's asleep again.

Hey, Tiger.

Here, good boy. Come on.

[Clock Chimes]

There he is.

No dice.

It's dawn, pal. You're dead.

Tulsa, you have the bottle, but you forgot the milk.

Will I see you tomorrow... I mean, today?

Yes, but not for the whole afternoon.

I have rehearsal tomorrow... today...

for your armed forces show.

We're on it, too, so I guess I'll see you there, huh?

Yes.

Well, uh, goodbye.

Well, goodbye.

I forgot something.

He sure is working overtime.

I'm glad you came to Germany.

I'm going to write a thank you letter to your draft board.

That ought to surprise them.

They probably never got a thank you letter before.

I get $ 10. He gets $20.

Even Dynamite couldn't have done better.

All right, all right.

As long as we get our dough, soldier.

[Swing Music Playing]

Very nice. Very nice.

I think we've got it. Thank you, Lili.

Thank you. See you tonight, boys.

Band Leader: All right, gang, take five.

Hi, Maestro.

How many numbers you want from us?

One.

One number. One encore.

No. One number. No encores.

Rehearsal in 15 minutes.

Don't go away. Be right back.

See the expression on the maestro's face?

Tulsa.

Hi.

See you later.

Hi.

Hi.

Have you recovered from your babysitting?

He did me a favor. If it hadn't been for him,

I might have never seen you again.

I'll let you in on a little secret.

I would have given you one day to call me,

maybe even two.

Then on the third day, I would have called you.

Hey, Tulsa. The roof's caved in.

Captain Hobart's on his way here.

He'll want to talk to you.

What about?

You're asking me what about.

Who won the bet for us?

He did stay in your apartment

till morning, didn't he?

There was no bet. We called it off.

Then how come everybody got paid?

I've got to find Cookie. Maybe he'll have an angle.

Look, I know what you're thinking,

but that's not how it was.

Naturally. The whole matter concerned two other people.

No, it was us.

Tell me some other time.

I'll tell you now.

Very well, tell me. How much did you win?

Going to your apartment

had nothing to do with any bet.

There was no need to borrow a baby

to get into my apartment.

Really, you underestimate your attraction.

Specialist McClain?

Yes.

You have an appointment with Captain Hobart.

Follow me.

Wait in here.

[Baby Gurgles]

Tiger?

Tiger?

Excuse me, Miss Lili. Captain Hobart would like

to talk to you before you leave.

Oh, thank you.

Two babies could not look so much alike.

You are the one.

Oh, you are Lili.

Oh, yes.

I'm the baby's mother.

It was good of you to help Tulsa.

Men are so helpless.

They are more babies than the babies.

You mean he was your babysitter?

Ja, er war.

Ch kenne ihn schon sehr lange.

Ein suesses baby.

Und ein gutes baby.

You're telling me.

Miss Lili.

Excuse me.

Miss Lili.

Yes?

I believe the army owes you an apology.

Your rendezvous with this young man

had a mercenary motive.

There was a bet.

That McClain could spend the night with you alone.

I'm afraid that wasn't the case, Captain.

We were extremely well chaperoned.

You see, Tulsa and I were babysitting.

That's right, Captain, for Marla and me.

Babysitting. I can't transfer a man for that.

Well, I wish I had known before

that you went in for this work.

Mrs. Hobart and I have bridge tomorrow evening.

How are you with twins?

Twice as helpful, sir.

Here you go, Tiger, back to your papa.

I got work to do. Captain.

Captain.

Lili, this isn't the time,

and it's certainly not the place...

Well, of course I'll marry you.

I love you.

We can get hitched?

Even this afternoon, huh?

If I get the C.O.'s permission?

Maybe. And maybe tonight after the show,

you'll win the bet.
