A Guy Named Joe Page #10

Is that so?

Mm-hmm.

Sit down, sit down. How

Many sisters have you got?

11. Did you say 11?

That's quite a family,

11 sisters.

All very beautiful.

And I remind

Him of every one of them.

Maybe we better

Get you a drink.

Hey, waiter. Bring us a drink

For this boy.

Lieutenant randall is

In my command, honey.

They tell me

He's a pretty hot pilot.

He stinks.

You have to be a hot pilot

To be in al's outfit.

That's what I hear.

How about all 3 of us

Having dinner tonight?

I could cook you

A kangaroo steak

That will drive you crazy.

How do you cook

A kangaroo steak?

With wallaby sauce.

What a corny routine

This is.

Well, it sounds

Very interesting.

I'd love to see it

Done sometime.

Well, how about tonight?

A celebration.

Of what?

Of my meeting you.

Watch this.

This'll be good.

Watch him get set back

On his heels.

No, I'm afraid not.

Come on, Dorinda.

You haven't had any fun

For a long time.

She's always like this

When she's on the ground.

Skittish as a colt.

Tell him you'll go.

Come on!

Well, all right.

Sure, I'll go.

That's better.

Come on!

Let's get outta here.

Al!

Well, where

Have you been?

Sydney, my boy.

You have?

Yeah. I just you back

A load of spare parts.

Good. You know, you shouldn't

Stay away so long, Dorinda.

That flyer of yours has just been

Pining away since you was gone.

Me too. Where is he?

He's up

On security patrol.

How about a coke?

No, I can't, al. I've

Got to fill out my report.

Yeah, I see.

How's he been doing?

Who?

Ted, you goose.

Oh, him. He's doing

All right.

He got 3 more zeros.

No!

Yeah.

Oh, I'll just have to cook him

A dinner tonight.

I'll cook one for you, too.

I wouldn't want

To gum up your party.

Let's make tracks, baby.

Holy leapin' loopin'

Judas priest!

Where's that

Security patrol?

You dirty, no good,

Stinkin' sprite!

Nails! Look! Here they come!

Here come our kids.

Get those meatballs.

Boil 'em in oil.

Tear 'em to pieces

And fry 'em

For breakfast.

What'd you say?

I didn't say a thing.

O.k., boy,

It's all yours.

You're supposed to be

Doing something in this war

Besides making wisecracks

To my girl, anyway.

That's it.

O.k., so you're lucky.

Watch out!

Easy, Dorinda.

You don't have to worry

About that fella, honey.

He's just naturally the

Luckiest flier I ever did see.

'Pert near the best.

If you are good,

It's because I've been

Hanging around

To keep you from breaking

Your fool neck.

Look at that!

Another one.

I gotta admit you're good.

Robertson.

Hey, look at that!

Look at that.

There they go.

Look at that!

We got 6 out of 8.

6 out of 8! Yeah, and lost 1.

There's nothing unusual

About the shakes, ted.

You're just excited

After the fight.

I've seen a lot

Of guys

Have worse

Than the shakes

After

A good show.

Oh, sure, I know.

I wasn't thinking about the

Fight so much as robertson.

He was a great guy,

And a darn fine

Squadron commander, too.

You know, it doesn't

Seem possible,

When you stop

To think about it,

That they're not here anymore,

And they're not gonna be.

Has anything like that

Ever happened to you?

Yes.

A person's gotta forget,

Of course,

But it's not easy at first.

We gotta figure

These things

A little bit different

Than most people.

There's something about

Going out in a plane

That beats

Any other way.

I suppose all

The other branches

Of the service

Feel the same,

But the guy

That washes out

At the controls

Of his own ship-

Well, he goes down

Doing the thing that

He loved the best.

That's a very

Special way to die.

Hmm. I never thought

Of it that way before,

But it's true, all right.

Ted, you're not gonna have

Any eyebrows left

If you don't stop it.

Oh. Like with a flower.

Stop it!

Well, I guess we better get on our horse

Before this turns

Into a wake.

Oh, no, no.

It's my fault.

Don't go, sir.

I need a good drink

And a night's sleep.

Oh, I'm sorry if I

Did anything wrong.

Oh, there's nothing wrong

With you. It's me.

And everything wrong

With you, I like.

Good night.

Breakfast?

Sure.

Good night, sir.

Good night.

Did you see

What he was doing?

Yeah, I saw.

The things he does,

The way he acts sometimes.

You know, honey,

I got a hunch.

You're falling

For this guy.

Oh, no!

No?

No, no.

It's not that. It's-well,

It's hard to explain.

I:

- I get such a queer feeling sometimes,

Watching him.

Yeah, I know.

I know, honey.

I know just

How you feel.

I gotta go now.

Good night.

Good night, al.

Don't let that

Baby-faced killer

Pull the wool

Over your eyes.

You know

What I mean.

Or do ya?

Remember,

You're still my girl.

Lieutenant randall,

It is my privilege

To bestow upon you

The distinguished

Flying cross

Awarded for

Bravery, heroism,

And extraordinary achievement

While in aerial flight.

And upon the recommendation

Of your superior officer,

And with the approval

Of your commander in chief,

You have been promoted

To the rank of captain.

My congratulations, sir.

Thank you, sir.

They're passing

Out that hardware

To everybody these days.

Dismissed!

Congratulations!

Thanks a lot, guys.

I hope you'll excuse me,

But I got some kind of

Special plan for this afternoon.

All the luck

In the world!

Oh, thanks. Everything

All ready, powerhouse?

Captain,

Everything's all fixed.

What special thing

Could he have planned now?

Come in!

Out here!

Hello!

Ha ha ha!

Aw!

Ted, you idiot.

Hey, look, 2 bars.

I'm a captain.

I've got

A medal, too.

Why don't

You say something?

Give me a chance.

You're the prettiest

Girl in all the world.

You're prettier

Than a p-38.

Oh, ted, I know what's

The matter with you.

You're crazy.

Not really crazy.

I've just come to

A decision, that's all.

Decision? What?

Dorinda, I'm gonna

Marry you.

You're going

To marry me?

That's it,

Marry you.

You're gonna be mrs.

Ted randall, my wife.

Me? I'll be

Your husband.

Get it?

Oh, it's not the most

Original idea on earth.

It's been

Done before, but...

Never with

2 people like us.

You mean you and I?

That's it, married.

M- a-double r-I-e-d.

The judge goes so and so and so and so,

And you're married.

You will, won't you?

Oh, ted, I...

Yes.

Hooray!

Come on in, guys!

Surprise!

Ted, you fool!

Yahoo!

What took you

So long?

Yeah! All the food

Will be cold.

We thought

You'd never say yes!

Lots of luck. You'll need it with him.

Play it again!

Play it again!

Again!

Aw.

Aw, this is the way it's

Gonna be from now on,

You and me

And real living.

When this show

Is over,

I'm gonna buy the sweetest

Little plane on earth.

We'll fly together,

Just the 2 of us,

Right over the top

Of the earth.

Darling.

I never used to like to

Fly with anybody before,

But I think I'm gonna like it with you.

Mademoiselle

And monsieur?

Yes?

Come and get it.

Oh, dandy.

Where'd you get all

This beautiful food?

It's a military secret.

Play it again!

Play it again!

Again!
