Hollywood Canteen Page #10

And wherever you go,

our hearts go with you.

Thank you.

Come on, Slim, we'll miss our train.

You and the guys run along.

I'll meet you there, I've got a lift.

Famous last words.

Slim.

I'd like to say goodbye and thanks.

- "Thanks," Miss Carlisle?

- Mm-hm.

For letting us know that the things we do

here are important to you boys, appreciated.

Well, they certainly are, ma'am.

I'm supposed to sing now.

Any request before I go?

Well, Joan and I have got

sort of a theme song.

- "Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart"?

- How'd you know?

I saw your face when she sang it for you.

Good luck.

KITTY [SINGING]:

Good night, sweet dreams

Tomorrow's another day

Till then

Sweet dreams, sweetheart

Good night, sleep tight

I'll see you along the way

In dreams

Sweet dreams, sweetheart

May angels up above

Watch over you

And keep you safe, my love

Until the dawn breaks through

[CONTINUES OVER RADIO]

Good night, sweet dreams

Tomorrow's another day

Good night

Sweet dreams, sweetheart

My darling

Here we are again

Don't you realize the whole thing

was a publicity gag?

So you had a date with Joan Leslie

for a weekend.

So she got her picture in the paper.

Okay, the gag and the weekend's over.

Last call, Slim.

We're the last jeep out of here

and we can't wait any longer.

Okay, I'm coming. Give me 30 seconds.

SLIM [IN VOICE-OVER]:

Darling...

Dear Joan...

...I have to leave now.

If this has all been a publicity stunt,

I don't care.

Because you made me happier

than I ever expect to be again...

...as long as I live.

Goodbye and thanks.

Slim.

KITTY [SINGING]:

May angels up above

Watch over you

And keep you safe, my love

Until the dawn breaks through

Good night, sweet dreams

Tomorrow's another day

Good night...

Next time Miss Leslie comes to the

Canteen, will you give her this, please?

Oh, sure.

Well, goodbye, and God bless you.

Thank you.

MAN [OVER SPEAKERS]:

Last call:
First section of the Lark.

Last call:
First section of the Lark.

Reserved for the military.

No civilian passengers.

- I guess it's time to go, dear.

- I guess it is.

Last call for the Lark.

Reserved for military only.

Leaving on Track 7.

Goodbye, you wonderful package

of animal instinct.

Every time I look

at the Hollywoodland sign, I'll remember.

I'll meet you there after the war,

and we'll unscrew all the bulbs.

All aboard. All military personnel

aboard the train immediately.

Slim, come on.

All aboard.

- Goodbye, Angela.

- Goodbye.

Tallyho.

Come on, pal, she ain't coming.

Climb aboard, men,

you're holding up the Lark.

Come on, men.

[TIRES SCREECH]

- Oh, thank you, captain.

- I hope you find him.

So do I.

[MEN WHISTLING]

MAN:

All aboard.

Joan!

MAN:
All aboard!

- Slim!

I ran out of gas, I had to hitch a ride.

I got your note.

Oh, darling, it isn't that way.

Then it's all right

to keep dreaming about you?

- Please, and me too, you.

- Maybe you wondered...

- ...why I never told you I loved you.

- Oh, you didn't have to.

I do.

- Maybe if I get back...?

- Oh, you will, you'll get back.

- Maybe we can sit in our swing again?

- You bet we will.

And I'll put away the croquet set

so you won't fall down.

- Gosh, I wish I could kiss you goodbye.

- So do I.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

You've given us something

we'll never forget.

Wherever you go,

our hearts go with you.
