What do you know? My watch stopped.

Waiter? Waiter!

Beer. We'd like more beer.

Cookie, I am not thirsty.

I am tired. I want to go home.

Man, this is really baby-sitting.

- He's sleeping.

- He won't be any more trouble.

You mean I should take him home?

While he's asleep it would be better.

Might as well get going,

as long as he's asleep.

I think so.

I'll get his basket.

Wake up, Tiger! Wake up, Tiger.

Wake up, Tiger. Attaboy.

I knew you wouldn't let me down.

That settles it! You better stay

until he's asleep again.

Good boy.

- 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. I'll see you there.

- Yes.

- Well...goodbye.

- 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'll surprise 'em, they never

got a thank-you letter before.

I get 10, he gets 20...

- Dynamite couldn't do better.

- All right.

- As long as we get our dough.

- Don't rub it in.

Very nice. Very nice. I think

we've got it. Thank you, Lili.

Thank you. See you tonight, boys.

All right, gang, take five.

- Hi, Maestro.

- How many numbers do you want?

- One.

- Right. And an encore.

No, one number, no encores.

Rehearsal in 15 minutes.

Don't go away, be right back!

See the Maestro's expression?

- Hi!

- See you later.

Hi. Have you recovered

from your baby-sitting?

Don't run Tiger down,

he did me a big favour.

- I might have never seen you again.

- I'll tell you a secret.

I would have given you one day

to call me. Maybe even two.

Then on the third day,

I would have called you.

Excuse me. The roof's caved in.

Captain Hobart wants to talk to you!

- What about?

- What? Who won the bet for us?!

He did stay in your apartment

till morning, didn't he?

- No offence, ma'am.

- There was no bet.

- We called it off.

- How come everybody got paid?

I gotta find Cookie,

maybe he'll have an angle.

Look, 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, soldier.

- How much did you win?

- Seeing you last night was no bet.

There was no need to borrow a baby

to get into my apartment.

Really, you underestimate

your attraction.

- McLean, you have an appointment.

- I gotta see a pal.

Follow me!

Wait here.

Excuse me, Miss Lili, Captain Hobart

would like to talk to you.

Thank you.

Two babies could not look

so much alike. You are the one.

- You are Lili?

- 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.

He was your baby-sitter?

- You're telling me!

- Miss Lili?

Miss Lili,

the Army owes you an apology.

Your rendezvous with this man

had a mercenary motive.

- There was a bet.

- To spend the night with you alone.

I'm afraid that wasn't the case,

Captain. We were well chaperoned.

You see,

Tulsa and I were baby-sitting.

Yes, for Marla and me.

Baby-sitting.

I can't transfer a man for that.

I wish I'd known before

that you did this kind of work.

Mrs Hobart and I

have a date tomorrow.

- How are you with twins?

- Twice as helpful.

Here you go, Tiger. Back to your

poppa. I got work to do. Captain.

Lili, this isn't the time

or the place...

Of course I'll marry you. I love you.

We can get hitched? This afternoon?

- If I get the CO's permission.

- Maybe.

And maybe tonight after the show

you'll win the bet.

Did you ever?
