Synopsis: It's the early 1960s. Nuclear engineer Hank Marshall is a major in the US Army, he who works on top secret nuclear testing projects. Trouble follows him from posting to posting largely because of his mentally unstable wife, Carly Marshall, who is bipolar. During her manic phases, her already overt sexuality, which she models after such sex symbols as Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot, is ratcheted up a notch, that partying behavior which is mixed with less frequent phases of physically destructive behavior. Regardless, Hank and Carly love each other, Hank who would admit to himself that he enjoys the fact that other men find Carly attractive, which is partly why he allows her to act the way she does in public. In turn, they mutually love their now two teenaged daughters, Alex and Becky. Reassigned from their two year posting in Hawaii largely due to the ruckus Carly has caused there, they are next sent to Alabama, the base under the command of Vince Johnson, his wife, Vera Johnson, wh

- It's a military matter, okay?

- I thought this was

a matter of justice.

That's what I told alex

when she said

her dad was framed.

I've got to go.

This doesn't concern you, son.

I used to be proud when

you called me your son.

All my life,

you've lectured me

about honor and justice...

And the johnson

tradition.

I believed all that.

Those words lost their meaning

for your father a while ago.

This is a personal war

between a man and a woman

that he wanted to screw.

It's as simple

as that, glenn.

Just get me

out of here.

Glenn!

Dr. Vankay's

waiting for you, colonel.

Vince.

Ben, is everything okay?

What the hell are you

doing here, george?

I was ordered here, vince,

by general nieremberg.

To do what?

I was ordered...

To provide for the safe

treatment and the discharge

of hank marshall.

I was also ordered

to relieve you as

commanding officer,

Pending further orders,

effective immediately.

Ohh. You just sleep,

babies.

Ohh.

Ow.

what's wrong?

My leg fell asleep.

We've been driving

for two days.

I wanted to get here

as fast as I could.

I didn't know

if you would be waiting.

Next base,

I'll be different,

I promise.

There won't be a next base.

I've quit the army.

Oh, the girls

are gonna be real...

Happy to hear that.

What about you,

mrs. Marshall?

Are you happy?

Only if you still want me.

Come here.

Sir, aren't you

gonna find teaching

to be a little bit tame?

When I was in nevada, son,

I decided I could no longer

contribute...

In any manner

to nuclear warfare.

I think the university is

a perfectly fine place...

To twist innocent young minds

over to my point of view,

don't you agree?

- Oh!

- Can you see mom

as a professor's wife?

It is california.

Maybe things are

a little looser there.

Daddy, I want a shot

of you and glenn.

What?

I want a shot

of you and glenn.

Come on. Get closer.

Closer.

wow!

Great car, mom!

what have you done?

We're going

to california, daddy.

We can't drive up in front

of the brown derby

in that old jalopy.

I liked

that old jalopy.

Now, nobody has said

anything about my hair.

- You look like

elizabeth taylor.

- There.

You have said

the secret word,

And you qualify for a ride

in my new convertible.

Come on, sweet boy.

Well, let's go.

Come on, daddy.

You drive.

well, now, it takes

more than a robin

to make the winter go

and it takes

two lips of fire

to melt away the snow

well, it takes

two hearts a-cookin'

to make a fire grow

and, baby

you've got what it takes

oh, yeah

you know it takes

a lot of kissin'

Tell me about it.

to make a romance sweet

Aha.

ooh, it takes

a lot of lovin'

to make my life complete

mmm, and it takes

a lot of woman

to knock me

off my feet

and, baby

you've got

what it takes

I said

mmm hmm hmm mmm

uh-huh, mmm

you know you've got

just what it takes

because it takes

more than an effort

to stay away from you

it'd take more

than a lifetime

to prove

that I'll be true

but it takes

somebody special

to make me say, "I do"

oh, yeah?

and, baby

you've got what it takes

uh-huh

mmm hmm hmm mmm

mmm

you know you've got

just what it takes

Because- you're back

in my spot again, honey.

I like your spot.

to stay away from you

I can't stay away.

Let's do it again.

it takes more than

a lifetime, daddy

oh, yeah.

to prove that I'll be true

now it's you.

but it takes

somebody special

like me, baby.

to make me say I do

and, baby

you've got what it takes

Say it again.

Come on. Let's do it

one more time, all right?

and, baby

you've got what it takes

One more time, brook.

All right, okay.
