Jet Pilot Page #4

and hold it there.

When the image spreads to those other lines,

you're in range to shoot.

The image has now reached the outer lines.

How should I attack? Astern?

No, no. From astern, they'd shoot you down.

Pull up parallel.

Hey, Paul, take a look at this, will you?

I think 4-7-9's getting

a little too close for comfort.

Yeah! Red Dog to Shannon.

What are you doing?

You're supposed to intercept,

not coincide.

Drop your dive brakes.

You're right on top of it!

I saw it.

Then why don't you break it off?

Well, why should I?

I was watching it on my scope.

The pips have coincided.

I hope they haven't.

Boy, if they haven't,

they must be riding piggyback.

Now look. They're separated again.

I hope those aren't

just pieces of them.

No, they'd be off there by now.

Hello, Red Dog. Shannon here.

I'm sitting on the wing off that B-36.

Any further instructions?

Red Dog to Shannon.

Brother, you had us

sittin' on something too.

Steer 2-3-0 degrees for base.

Listening out.

Ah, roger.

Shannon to Target.

Good night, mama.

You look pretty good in there.

Good night, baby.

You did quite a bit of lookin' yourself.

How do you like it?

Like what?

Our night interception routine.

Oh, you Americans.

What's the matter with us?

You are utterly antagonistic

to any form of regimentation

on the ground,

but in the air, you accept it

in the most abject manner.

Well, you've got to admit

it works pretty good.

Well, that's what puzzles me.

I can't understand it.

What'll you give me if I tell ya?

Give you?

What do you want?

Is this too much?

That's a habit with you.

What?

Trying to get something for nothing.

I believe

in looking at merchandise

before I pay for it.

So do I.

I'd really like to know

about these maneuvers.

These, or those?

Those.

Well, I warn ya, I won't come through

unless you improve on that last sample.

Very well.

How was that?

Very much better.

Why?

It was a perfect example of teamwork.

Just apply it to that interception routine,

and you've got the answer.

Teamwork?

Everybody works together.

Like the first time I kissed ya,

you didn't do your part.

So we didn't get anywhere.

In other words,

you believe the individual

must sacrifice his personal feelings...

and work with somebody else

for the benefit of the whole enterprise?

That's right. Mass production.

I see.

The idea's purely capitalistic.

No wonder every loyal Russian

instinctively rejects it.

I give up. Come on.

Get in, you silly Siberian cupcake.

Cupcake? What does that mean?

If the P.X. Is still open,

I'll buy you a couple.

First, it's baloney.

Then it's stuffed birds.

And now, it's cupcake.

Why are you letting down?

Well, Washington said

you could go where you want

and see what you like.

And this, I think, you'll like.

Hello, Palm Springs Tower.

This is Air Force Jet 1-9-0.

This is Palm Springs Tower.

Go ahead, 1-Niner-0.

Ten miles west. Request

landing instructions for two F-86's.

Roger, 1-Niner-0.

Runway 2-4.

Wind:
Northwest 1-4.

Altimeter:
Two-niner-niner-seven.

Call on initial.

Ah, roger.

Hey, what was that?

I'll show you sometime.

Capitalism has certain

dangerous advantages.

That's one thing we have

in common with the Soviet.

What's that?

We both believe in uplifting

the, uh, masses.

Yes, but that's not true

in all instances.

Of course.

There are some who don't require.

So that's the shape you're in.

Freddie!

Was he making fun of me?

On the contrary.

He was paying you

the highest compliment in his power.

You mean, he liked me?

That's strange.

By Russian standards of beauty,

I'm considered only fair.

They prefer a more

robust type.

Mm-hmm.

The more, the merrier.

Then you agree with my countrymen?

No, I can't say that I do.

I'm very much interested

in your point of view,

so please, be frank.

Tell me exactly what you think.

I can't.

Why not?

I haven't sufficient flow of speech.

Well, that sounds very nice.

Is it?

Well, it's, uh,

the best I can do at the moment.

In other words,

I'm attractive to you...

in every way except politically?

That's about it.

I hate your insides, and vice versa.

Which is more important to you?

It's a toss-up.

Can't make up my mind.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Why?

'Cause I feel exactly

the same way about you.

You do?

That's why I spoke to you about it.

Have you any solution?

The more I think about it,

the worse it gets.

I have the same trouble.

One minute I wanna kill you,

and the next minute

I want to kiss you and...

kiss you and...

kiss you.

Same here.

What are we gonna do about it?

I don't know.

I've never met anyone before...

who aroused and revolted me

in the same proportion.

I'm very confused.

Something else I can do for you?

Maybe you could advise us.

What would you do if you knew a man

Try this on, Lieutenant.

What is the price of this coverall

and golden heliotrope?

This hat is perfectly silly,

and I adore it.

I wish you'd have bought the red one.

I liked it better.

I like this one.

Well, you're wearing it

too far back on your head.

That's the way I like it.

Which one is my bedroom?

Take your pick.

They're both exactly the same.

I like this one.

But, uh

But what?

Who's gonna use this room?

Both of us.

Really?

Accommodations in Palm Springs

are very scarce.

This is all they had.

Anyway, I'm responsible for you.

Well, naturally,

but I was thinking about the waste.

What waste?

All this lovely space.

In Russia, they'd put at least

three families in it.

Four by dividing the room with a curtain.

Two on that side, two on this side.

Well, why don't you build

more houses?

Jets and bombers

are more important just now.

I agree with you.

You do?

What's the use of building houses

if somebody's gonna blow 'em off the map?

Of course.

We go right on spending

billions for housing,

and only millions for planes.

- It's awful.

- I think you're absolutely right.

But, uh

But, uh

But

But what?

You realize that you and I are

of the same mind about this matter?

Say, that's right.

What's got into us?

Shannon!

Oh, it's you. What are you trying to do,

break down the door?

Well, I didn't think you were in.

Well, then what'd you knock for?

Well, l

Oh, hello, Georgie.

Jim. How be ya?

Fine. Uh

Anna, this is

Major Rexford's wife, Georgie.

What are you doin' here?

You told me to give the boys

a couple of days off, didn't you?

That's the most beautiful thing

I've ever seen.

What's that?

That smile of yours.

Where have you been keeping it?

I'm happy tonight.

Why don't you look where you're going?

I haven't got eyes

on the back of my head.

Major Rexford and his wife

dance very well together, don't they?

I wish I could say the same for us.

What am I doing that's wrong?

You're holding me too tight.

Too tight?

I can hardly breathe.

You're not serious?

I was never more serious in my life.

Is that better?

What do you think?

I think it's divine.
