In the Navy Page #7

Synopsis: Russ Raymond, America's number one crooner, disappears and joins the Navy under the name Tommy Halstead. Dorothy Roberts, a magazine journalist, is intent on finding out what happened to Russ and she tries everything she can to get a picture of him to prove he's Russ Raymond. Tommy's friends, Pomeroy Watson and Smokey Adams,help him while Pomeroy writes love letters to Patty Andrews. But because Smokey makes Pomeroy lie about himself in the letters, and when Patty comes to the Navy base, she's furious at Pomeroy. When Pomeroy, Smokey, Tommy and the Andrews sisters set sail for Hawaii, Pomeroy discovers there's a tomato in the potato locker, and she's been snapping shots of Tommy the whole trip. Whether Pomeroy's proving that 7 x 13 = 28 - three different ways, having Smokey help him play ship captain for Patty, or falling out of his hammock, it's an Abbott and Costello classic.

Right now

Come on. I'm just wild

to see him in uniform.

General, do you know if

Russ Raymond's on this boat?

It's a ship, lady.

I'm dying to put one

of these leis around his neck.

I'm going to get his autograph

if I have to wreck the whole navy.

Can you tell me

where Russ Raymond is?

This happen to belong to you, sailor? Ow!

Please, Tommy.

Let me explain.

We're locked in.

Some more of your work?

No, but that's fine. Now you'll have to listen to

me about the pictures. I know all about the pictures.

I've got an idea that's gonna

straighten everything out.

No, you don't. You've caused

me enough trouble. Listen to me.

I don't mean any... I'm very

busy here in the kitchen.

Don't bother me.

Do your work, but don't do mine.

Put it down. Why don't you

give me the end with the towels?

Hey, doughnuts!

No, Smokey! Don't!

One doughnut.

I haven't got enough.

I just baked

28 of these things.

There's seven officers

to feed.

I've got just enough to

give them... 13 apiece. What?

Thirteen apiece.

Thirteen apiece?

Seven officers,

each gets 13.

You've only got 28. Right,

28 doughnuts and seven, 13...

I gotta give 'em to them.

Seven thirteens are 28?

That's ridiculous! Seven times

four is 28. It's got to be right...

Seven times four is 28?

Sure.

He must have went

to a cheap school.

Seven times 13 is 28.

Ridiculous!

Come here. I'll figure it out for

you. What's the matter with you?

I've got this all figured out. You have?

Prove that to me. I'm

gonna prove it. Don't worry.

Ridiculous. Come, come. No, it ain't.

It's not ridiculous. There's

no sense to your argument.

Go ahead.

You'll see.

Now, there were seven

officers. That's right.

There's a seven. Now I'm

gonna divide and prove it.

Twenty-eight doughnuts.

Twenty-eight doughnuts.

You claim seven goes into

2813 times? Prove it to me.

Seven into two. What do

you mean, seven into two?

Seven will not go into two no matter

how much you try. We know that.

You couldn't push that big seven

into that little two. Certainly not.

Therefore, we can't use the two.

What are you gonna do with it?

I'm gonna let Dizzy hold it. Dizzy, you hold

that two for me. Will you, please? Thank you.

I'll use it later.

What is this all about?

Seven into eight... one.

Now, we're gonna carry

the seven. So carry it.

It's gettin' heavy,

so I'll put it down there.

Seven from eight... one.

A minute ago,

we didn't use the two.

What do you mean?

I'm gonna use it now.

Use it? Dizzy, give me

back the two. Thanks.

Put it right down there.

So?

Seven into 21?

Three times.

Three times. Seven...

28... 13. Wait a minute!

You ever go to school,

stupid?

Yeah, and I come out the

same way. Never mind that.

Multiply this.

Put down 13 up there.

Put down 13?

Yes.

You claim each officer

gets 13 doughnuts?

They gotta, or else I go

to the brig. Wait a minute.

Seven officers? Put

down seven, draw a line.

Seven times 13 is what?

Twenty-eight.

Prove it.

Seven times three?

Twenty-one.

Seven times one?

Seven.

Seven and one!

Eight.

Two?

Oh, no. Come on.

Comes out right all the time. It shouldn't!

It's got to come out right or

I go in the brig. That I know.

Just a minute. We'll add this up.

Put down 13 seven times.

That'll straighten

this out.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Wait a minute.

I forgot Dynamite.

Yes, there's

seven officers.

Now we're getting it. You claim

all this added up amounts to what?

Twenty-eight.

Give me the chalk.

No. You take it, it's liable

to come out right.

Sure there's something wrong. Here's

three, six, nine, 12, 15, 18, 21.

22, 23, 24, 25,

26, 27, 28!

See?

All hands on deck for

the visitor's day entertainment.

I'll be right there.

All hands on deck.

You wish to check

the captain's breakfast?

I certainly do. I want to check the

captain's breakfast every morning.

I gotta. What is this...

a burnt offering?

I scorch more right away.

You've scorched enough.

Do you toast this with a

blowtorch? I don't like it.

I don't know how the captain

puts up with you.

I'll bring it up

to him myself.

Put your hat on before you get

into trouble. Listen to my idea.

I'm in a hurry.

This is visitor's day.

But it's doomsday for me.

What kind of crack is that?

You know what I'm talking about. Today there's

gonna be hundreds of people on board this boat.

I know that. There's gonna be

entertainment, dancing, maybe the rumba.

So? Everybody'll have a good time but me.

Why? Patty Andrews is comin'

on board with her sisters.

When she finds out that I'm nothing but a

baker, I hate to think what's gonna happen.

I told you I was

working on that.

You've been telling me that

for two weeks.

I straightened out that Tommy

and Dorothy affair! I helped ya.

Yes, but I'm gonna

straighten out yours. How?

How would you like

to go to sick bay?

Look, sick bay or Dead Sea,

it's all the same to me.

Nothing's gonna help.

This will.

You report

to the hospital.

A baker in pajamas looks

just like an admiral.

Oh, that's a swell idea.

Certainly!

It ain't gonna work. These

doctors are terrific. Why not?

They'll know there's nothing

wrong with me. They always do.

There will be something wrong

with you after you drink that.

What's that?

A sleeping solution.

One teaspoonful and you

pass out just like that.

Like that?

Just like that!

I do get to wake up?

Certainly.

Okay.

For you, Patty.

Not now! Take the captain's

breakfast to him first.

I've got to take the captain's

breakfast first. Go ahead.

Smokey, you're wonderful.

You embarrass me.

There's still work to be done.

I'll be seeing you.

There's a pal

if I ever did see one.

Now, for the captain's breakfast.

Oh, there you are.

Captain wants

to meet you.

This orange juice

is great stuff.

They sent me down to fix the

old man's communicator. Okay.

Come in.

Smokey, the captain's asleep.

He is asleep.

Must be overworked.

Drank a whole glass of orange juice.

Went to sleep just like that.

Like that?

Just like that.

Shh. Why, you dope!

You've doped the captain.
