Keep 'Em Flying Page #2

---

Good-bye,

and thank you all again.

Stick to the union! Watch out.

Speaking of the union,

what about my $10? What $10?

The $10 of mine in the treasury.

What's he talking about?

You're holding $30.

Give him his $10.

That's why I'm treasurer.

Wait a minute!

I'm giving you $10, I don't

know what for. Give him an I.O.U.

He wants to keep

his books straight.

I want to be

a businessman.

"I owe you ten dollars. "

Here, sign it.

That's very

businesslike.

"Heathcliff. "

There you are.

Thanks.

That's what I mean.

Gotta keep your books right,

and do it like business.

What was the idea of that?

Everything's all right.

Congratulations, Linda! Thank you.

It's the soldiers that

should be congratulated.

How about this

farewell dance?

I'm sorry. Miss Joyce

has this dance with me.

You're sitting this one out. Excuse me.

This table will do.

Now, here we are.

How have you been, Linda?

My name is Jinx Roberts.

Not really.

The Jinx Roberts?

Oh, you've heard of me!

No. Now,

if you don't mind...

Don't get sore.

What's a guy supposed to do

when he sees a girl...

that he's been dying

to meet all his life,

and there's nobody to

introduce him? Well, all right.

Now we've met,

Mr. Roberts,

and it's been a perfectly

beautiful friendship.

Too bad it has to end.

Wait a minute!

Jim!

What kept you?

Sorry to be late. We were

delayed. I'm glad to see you.

Why, Roberts.

Hello.

It's been a long time.

Not long enough.

You two know each other?

Yes, we know

each other.

Flown through any storms lately,

or are you still a fair-weather pilot?

Jim, I'd like to dance.

But don't go away, Craig.

I want to see you. Excuse us.

Same old technique,

eh, Roberts?

I wouldn't advise it

with Linda.

No?

Tell me more.

Jinx, there's something I've wanted to

straighten out with you for a long while.

Let's talk it over. We've

got nothing to talk over.

You already straightened things out

beautifully for me four years ago.

Remind me to thank you

for it someday.

May I cut in?

Well...

Thanks.

We're gonna have union trouble.

Get a load of that guy. Looks bad.

I oughta picket the guy. Well,

let's do it. Let's make a sign.

That's what we'll do. You got a pencil? No.

Wait a minute.

I'll get something.

I beg your pardon.

Can I have your lipstick

for a minute? Sure, dearie.

Here's some bobby pins in case

you want to put your hair up.

Here's a cigar

in case you want to smoke.

Here's a punch in the nose

in case you want to fight!

Here's your $10 in case

you want to quit the union.

We'll talk about that later.

Let's make the sign.

Is that on the level,

about you and that U.S.O. business?

Of course it is. Any idea

where you'll be stationed?

At the new unit near

the Cal-Aero Flying School.

No. You know who's gonna

be there starting tomorrow?

No.

Me!

Psst! Psst!

Jinx, remember the union!

Jinx, in union

there is strength!

Gotta stick

together, Jinx.!

Do you mind if I cut in?

Certainly not, Heathcliff.

Go right ahead.

Thank you.

What is this?

New type of dance.

Are you kidding? Go away! What

do you want to do, wrestle?

All right, boys, Cal-Aero!

Let's look forJinx.

Wait a minute.

Can't you read?

Who's smoking?

Smoking!

Hi, Mickey.!

Hi, Mickey! What are you doing?

Let me get my bag,

Mickey.

Where do you think you're

going? To see my palJinx.

Nobody gets in

without a pass!

Get going! Let's go to the

administration building.

Pick it up.

All right,

pick yourself up.

This ain't administration.

This is "you-so. "

You-so? U.S.O. U.S.O.,

you-so. What does it mean?

No, U.S.O.

"United Service Organization. "

This building is donated

by the government...

and supported by

unselfish Americans.

This building here provides for these

boys' entertainment, refreshments, books,

everything to make it

a home away from home.

Do you understand?

All but one thing.

What's that?

What does "you-so" mean?

Let's find the administration

building so we can get our pass.

Everything all right? Yes.

Would you care for more

to eat? No, that's all.

Let's play

a game of pool.

Gloria, is the cake ready? Coming up.!

Bring on the army!

Whoo, whoo!

Gloria. Gloria.

Look, sister dear,

one of these fine days...

I'm gonna teach you how to get

a man in six easy lessons.

That's what I said.

Oh, tennis.

Oooh!

I am sorry, sir. What do you

think I am, the eight ball?

Are you trying to ruin the man's game? No.

Who's in charge? Miss

Phelps, at the counter.

Over there?

Right.

Could you tell me where the administration

building is? Inside the gate.

How do you get in

to get a pass?

You can't get inside

the gate without a pass,

to get a pass

to get inside the gate.

Very "intricky. "

Come on.

Won't you boys have

something to eat? Yes, ma'am!

What do you mean, "Yes, ma'am"?

We've only got a quarter.

Do you understand?

What's wrong with you?

We can get something.

I'll tell you what.

I'll order a turkey sandwich and

a cup of coffee, and give you half.

If she asks you, say,

"I don't care for anything. "

"I don't care for nothing"?

That's right.

We're gonna put something

over on her? No, no.

Gonna try to slick her?

All we've got is a quarter.

She'll think we're big shots. "I

don't care for nothing. " That's right.

A turkey sandwich

and a cup of coffee.

What'll you have? I don't care for nothing.

Go ahead, have something.

Gimme a turkey sandwich, then.

What did I just get through

telling you? I refused once!

We've only got a quarter!

She said, "Have something. "

I said, "I don't care... "

You can't order!

Never mind what I say.

No matter how much you coax me?

Just say "I don't want anything. "

I'll say I'm filled up.

That's all.

I ain't, but I'll say it.

Say that!

I'll give you half. "I

don't care for nothing. "

Turkey sandwich

and a cup of coffee.

What'll you have? I don't care for nothing.

Go ahead,

have something.

Go on, have something.

You're in here to eat, right? Yeah.

Go ahead, order something.

Give me some ham and eggs.

What did I just get through

telling you? You keep coaxing me!

We've got a quarter! But don't

keep saying, "Take something. "

Never mind what I say.

Don't order anything.

How are you gonna pay

for it? "I'm filled up. "

No matter how much I coax, don't

order. I don't say another word.

You can't pay for

two turkey sandwiches.

"I don't care for nothing.

" You don't want anything.

That turkey sandwich and a

cup of coffee, please. Yes.

And what'll you have? I

don't care for nothing.

Sure you do.

I'm not in the mood to eat.

You just told me you were hungry.

I know, but I ain't gonna eat.

I beg your pardon, miss, but

I'm not hungry. You are hungry.

What do people go to a

restaurant for? Not me...

What do people go to a restaurant

for? Sometimes I wonder.

They go to eat. That's

a wonderful word, "eat. "

All right,

order something.

I'm not hungry. You want people

to think I'm a cheapskate here?
