I'm gonna tell him.

Alex, please.

Please what?

Please talk to me or

please don't tell daddy?

You're not even sorry

for what you did, are you?

You're just afraid

of getting caught!

That's not true.

how could you

do this to him?

Everybody's

gonna find out.

If I don't tell him,

they're all gonna laugh

at him behind his back.

I hate you!

I'm gonna tell him.

When?

Operator.

Long distance, please.

Hank?

Daddy, when are you

coming home?

Sweetheart, you're gonna

have to speak up!

I can barely hear ya!

I have to-

I have to tell you something,

and it's hard for me to-

What is it, baby?

I can't hear!

After rehearsal... Tonight,

Vince johnson drove me home.

And-

I can't hear you, baby!

I'm sorry! You're gonna have

to speak up now really loud!

Wait a minute!

I'll try to find

a different line!

I said...

After rehearsal tonight,

vince johnson drove me home!

vince johnson drove me home.

Just a mistake, daddy.

And-

I-I- I can't-

Hi, daddy!

Hello, baby!

She's at the officers' club.

Tonight's the show.

Oh, lord, where is she?

Check the motels.

Ah, here she comes.

Lock up your husbands, girls.

Hello.

Boy, am I nervous.

I just hope I don't

trip or something.

Don't' worry.

We've been practicing

for weeks.

You'll be fine.

What have you got

to be worried about?

I'm the one with two left feet.

Hey, why don't you girls

come over to my house for

some dinner after the show?

Sounds great.

I could use a break

from the kids.

Can I talk with you,

vera?

Why? Sit down

and have a drink...

And go over

the gory details?

The things you like

to share with friends.

People like you

come and go, carly.

You mean just one less

christmas card to me.

five minutes, ladies.

Can I still do

my number?

Oh, my god.

Is that all you can think of?

musicians, places, please.

All my life,

people have told lies about me.

Even when I was little,

Other girls used

to make up stories.

fernando's hideaway

fernando's hideaway

At least one of them's

got nice legs.

fernando's hideaway

I need to talk to you.

Later, marshall.

Now. I need to

talk to you right now.

- It's not the time to-

- I need to talk to you

right f***ing now.

This is a personal matter.

Don't you think we oughta

discuss this-

It's not personal.

It has to do with blue sky.

fernando's hideaway

ole

Look, I'm not gonna

talk about this sh*t...

With you now or any other time,

all right?

Colonel johnson, 48 hours ago,

we irradiated 2 people

in mercury, nevada,

Who are now facing blindness,

leukemia and bone cancer.

One more word, mister,

and I'll see you

court-martialed.

hank! Hank!

You don't have

the balls for that.

You're just jealous

because you can't

satisfy that nympho.

Hank!

Hank!

Oh, god.

I just hurt all over.

Maybe we can

call it even, daddy.

I doubt it.

We've done

too much damage

to each other.

I'm the one all bandaged up.

I can't even imagine

what it's gonna look like.

I always loved

looking at you.

I even enjoyed

other men looking at you.

But you always take

everything right over

the edge, don't you?

It didn't mean anything.

You know that.

Oh, I know

it didn't mean anything.

Just like

all the other times.

But it meant a lot to me.

I don't know how much longer

I can go on. I'm tired.

I'm real tired.

I gotta go see

about the girls.

She's gonna be fine.

Doctor says she can

come home in two days.

Lydia, will you take

the girls home, please?

go on.

At ease.

Mrs. Marshall,

this can't come off

for another week,

And it'll heal up

just fine.

In a few weeks, you'll

need a magnifying glass

just to see it.

I'm gonna need dark makeup

and heavy lisle stockings

for the rest of my life.

Now, now,

you just relax.

You've got a visitor

coming up.

Who?

I don't know.

Brought you some flowers.

Thanks.

Hank's in big trouble.

You should know that,

carly.

Well, this whole thing,

it doesn't... Look good

for anyone.

It's real... Messy,

and I like to keep

a clean base.

Besides, I-

Well, I feel...

Personally responsible.

We're both responsible.

You don't know...

How much I need him.

Nobody understands that.

Well,

There is...

One way we could

get him out.

Maybe.

Daddy, I brought

some good news.

Vince johnson

has figured out a way

to help us out of all this.

He had me

sign some papers...

To put you in the hospital

for just a couple weeks,

Just for observation,

and then the whole thing

is written off to stress.

You've had me committed?

No! No!

It's not as bad as it sounds.

It's hardly gonna affect

your record at all.

Is that

what he told you?

Yes.

That's what he told me.

He also told me...

That the only other alternative

would be a court-martial.

A court-martial is what

I wanted. It's my only chance

to tell what really happened.

A court-martial would mean

eight years in prison, he said.

It would mean

a dishonorable discharge.

No pension, no transfer,

no nothing.

Darling,

this is a setup.

We've been set up.

Major, we have orders

remanding you to base hospital.

Let me see them.

This was a verbal authorization

from colonel johnson, sir.

All right.

Get me somebody from

adjutant general's office.

Our orders are to remove you

from base stockade

and remand you to b.G.H.

Get me somebody from

the adjutant general's office,

then I'll consider moving.

Consider this, sir.

You either stand up now,

Or we'll drag your ass out of

here so fast your butt won't

say good-bye to your shorts.

Do I make myself clear, sir?

Major hank marshall.

Which room is he in?

- I'm sorry, ma'am.

He's not allowed visitors.

- No. I'm his wife.

I'm mrs. Marshall.

Of course I can see him.

Mrs. Marshall, there are

procedures to be followed

in the hospital.

Well, how long do

those procedures take?

About two weeks.

Two weeks? For what?

We're doing everything

we possibly can

for major marshall.

Right.

And I'm jackie kennedy,

and flying saucers

just stole my dog.

But I don't want

to see him there.

Daddy will be home soon.

It's taken me two weeks

to get permission

to visit him.

Now, he's gonna need a hug

from his little baby.

Besides, there's nothing

to be scared of.

It's a hospital,

but he's not sick

or anything like that.

Besides,

we're gonna have a-

We're gonna have

a picnic. Now-

You're not even dressed!

Go on! Get dressed!

I don't want to be late.

You want me

to fix your hair?

I can do it myself.

Okay.

Daddy likes mayonnaise.

Daddy likes

a little pepper.

Now, everyone here

is under temporary sedation,

So don't be alarmed,

mrs. Marshall.

His condition

can change instantly.

Daddy!

I ma- I ma- I ma- I ma-

I made-

Made these for us?
