Give Me a Sailor Page #7

to know anything about these things,

but if I were in your spot-

which I'm not-

I'd take aboard about

four straight brandies...

with a good strong stinger for a chaser.

If that didn't work, I'd take

an anesthetic.

Meet you aboard.

Very good, sir.

With a firing party.

Oh,

here it is, over here.

Come on, darling.

Letty!

Hello, Walter.

You look beautiful!

Thank you.

I mean, thanks a lot.

I didn't know. I mean, you are beautiful!

Definitely!

Well, uh,

you look beautiful too.

Oh, were you gonna have a

couple of- Who're you with?

Oh, no, no.

That's-

Nervous? I mean,

about presently?

Yeah, I feel like I swallowed

a couple of feathers.

The chaplain says the ceremony's

practically painless.

Yeah, that's what

they say about drowning.

Um, Walter?

Yes, darling?

Do you know something?

Do you know you've never even kissed me?

Oh, yes, I have, in a way.

Last night over the phone

when I- Kiss me, Walter.

Do that again.

And I'm not tired either.

And... my feet don't hurt.

What 7.

Well!

My goodness, me. Couldn't you

two wait a couple of hours?

Well, uh, uh- just dropped into

wish you the best and all that.

Thanks, Nancy.

Oh, while I'm at it, I'd like

to have your joint blessings,

very extra special ones.

Jim and I are being married.

- What?

- Why, that's fine, Nancy.

That's- What?

Oh,just a plain, simple,

little hit-and-run wedding.

No battleships,

of course.

Well, I'll be seeing you.

Jim!

Listen, Nancy. You can't just

plop into marriage like that.

Why not? The eet sails tonight.

I know, but you can't marry Jim.

And why? Because Jim's dynamite,

and he's got to be handled.

You couldn't even

handle a firecracker!

I could too! One month of Jim,

and you'd blow up in his face!

What do you care who I marry?

You've got Letty, haven't you?

Yes, but, uh, I-lm thinking of you.

And besides-

There goes your bride! Go after her.

You wanted her. Go get her!

And don't you worry about me.

I'm happy. Very happy!

Oh, yes.

Yes, but-

Hey, wait a minute!

Jim!

Jim!

Jim!

Bill! Why, it's our Letty!

What are you doing?

Oh, Bill.

I'm lookin' for a sailor.

I've been all over this place down here.

Come on. Get in.

We'll find him. All right, Joe.

Go ahead.

Hey, all set?

I will be, as soon as Nancy gets here.

Hey,Jim! Jim!

Jim! Listen! Listen.

I just kissed Walter.

Well?

Well, nothing happened!

Huh?

Nothing happened!

Oh, come here!

Where?

Here.

Kiss me,Jim.

Look, Letty- Jim, you can't marry Nancy.

You mustn't!

It'd be the same way with you as it was

with me. I mean, when you kiss her.

Well, it's just like- Oh, I

can't explain it, Jim, but-

Kiss me.

You'll find out.

Oh, all right.

How was that?

Well, I-

Again. Again.

Now here. And here.

And here. And here.

Say!

You see what I mean?

Yeah, yeah! But do you suppose you

and I could be in love? I mean, us?

Say, why didn't you

tell me that before?
