Cheapskate.

Gloria? Gloria?

You can't do that.

Come back here.

Gloria! No, you don't. Not so fast.

So it's you, is it?

Gloria? Gloria?

Gloria?

Gloria?

Gloria?

Gloria?

Gloria?

Gloria?

Echo.

Echo.

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.

I'm not scared.

Barbara, I used to spiel

in this place.

You did?

Mm-hmm.

I bet it was fun, huh? Yes.

We always...

Ooh! Ooh!

What's the matter?

That thing.

That's only a stuffed ape.

Everything here's a fake.

I know, but I'm scared. Come now.

Oh.

Did anybody see

what I saw?

Gloria, my girl...

with my best friend...

Blackie.

Blackie, why do this to me?

I've always been nice, Blackie.

I'm through with women.

No more.

I can't get over it.

No more women for me.

I was living a nice life.

Thank you.

Just minding my own

business and everything else.

Have another one?

I'm a scaredy cat.

I gotta be brave.

I pick out a fine time

to get brave.

Of all the times

to pick out!

Gloria, is that you?

I hope.

Give me your hand.

I want you to...

Gloria!

Are you biting

your nails?

Wait for me!

Sweetheart, relax.

Let's have some fun.

There's nothing in here to hurt

you. I'm a little frightened.

I'd much rather get out

of here. We'll get out.

Gloria?

Barbara, Blackie... Gloria!

Gloria, what are you doing here?

Playing tag with Heathcliff.

I don't know

what's cooking.

Once he loves me, then he

doesn't. I don't get it.

I think the guy's whacky. Now I get it!

He thinks that you're you

and that Barbara is you too.

He really doesn't know

that you're sisters.

Gloria, I'm sorry.

Two of them. Come here, Heathcliff.

Heathcliff,

come here.

What's wrong? Blackie, I

never took a drink in my life,

but right now I feel

like getting drunk. No!

I do, really.

You don't want to drink.

Every time you go into a bar,

the devil goes with you.

If he does,

he buys his own drink.

You don't understand. They're twins. Twins?

Gloria's two girls? No. Barbara is my girl,

and Gloria is your girl.

Hi, Heathcliff.

Gloria?

Yes?

I'm sorry.

I've been a fool.

A big fool!

Oh, it's nothing at all.

Whew, whewwww!

Whewwwww! Whew!

Didn't I tell you

we'd have a lot of fun?

Let's go for a ride.

The tunnel of love?

I'll buy the tickets.

I'm glad I found out

you two kids are twins.

Now I'll be able

to tell you apart.

Let's go in the tunnel of love. Come here!

I'm the one.

Oh, excuse me.

I've got the tickets. Come

on, sweetheart. Not that one!

That one's mine. Wait. Let me see.

She's yours.

Oh, yes.

I'm looking for the boy

with the wistful eyes

Oh, I adore the boy

with the wistful eyes

We met and for a second

His lonely eyes beckoned

Then the chance was missed

I passed the boy

I should have kissed

Though I don't know

what color his eyes may be

I can't forget the way

that they looked at me

And now all alone

Through two wistful eyes

of my own

All I'm looking for, I realize

Is the boy

with the wistful eyes

I'm looking for the boy

with the wistful eyes

Ho, ho, I adore

The boy with

the big, sharp eyes

We met

and for a second

His lonely eyes

beckoned

Then the chance

was missed

I passed the boy

I should have kissed

Though I don't know

what color his eyes may be

I can't forget

The way that

they looked at me

And now, all alone

Through two wistful eyes

of my own

All I'm looking for, I realize

Is the boy

with the wistful eyes

We're looking for the girl

with the wistful eyes

Do-do-do-do

do-do-do

Oh, we adore the girl

with the wistful eyes

Da-da-da-da-da-da

da da-da

We met

and for a second

His lonely eyes

beckoned

Then the chance

was missed

We passed the boy

we should have kissed

Da-da

da-da-da

I don't know what color

his eyes may be

Do do-do-do-do

Oh, I can't forget

The way that

they looked at me

And now, all alone

Through two wistful eyes

of my own

All I'm looking for, I realize

Is the boy

with the wistful eyes

He's the boy

with the wistful eyes

Do do

Morrison, I've been checking

the records on your students.

They've done well, except two. Joyce and

Roberts, yes, sir. I wouldn't worry aboutJoyce.

There's a special problem,

but he'll make it.

And Roberts? Maybe the answer

for Roberts is another instructor.

You mean, someone who

knows less about him?

I find he was once discharged

as a commercial airline pilot,

his license

temporarily suspended...

for flying through a storm

against the dispatcher's orders.

Was he, sir?

Yes.

His copilot on that particular flight

was a man named Morrison.

Craig Morrison.

Yes, sir.

You in favor of eliminating

him? Major, we need fliers.

PotentiallyJinx Roberts

would make...

one of the best pilots

that ever hit the blue.

When that happened, he got

the mistaken impression...

that it was I

who reported him.

Maybe with another instructor,

he might...

Come in.

Mr. Roberts, certain facts concerning

your past record as a flier...

havejust come

to my attention.

Those facts, plus your record

since you arrived,

would seem to call for review

of your entire case.

Pending that review, you will

remain on post and do no flying.

You're grounded.

Is that clear?

It's...

only too clear, sir.

That's all,

mister.

I'm gonna teach you how

to fly. I don't wanna fly.

I've got a funny complex

about these things.

There's no engine in this plane.

See the boys taking it out? Yeah.

Come on,

get up in there.

Blackie, I don't want to

get up there. Get up there.

Blackie, Blackie. Get up there. Go ahead.

I don't wanna get up.

What? What's the matter?

Look how high I am! Gimme

a parachute. Oh, stop that!

What's the matter? Let me

come down. Give me a parachute.

What do you want that for? Gimme

an umbrella. I'm getting airsick.

Behave. Do something for me, somebody.

Stop the plane. Stop what

plane? This plane is not moving.

Don't be ridiculous.

My head's going around.

Flying today is as safe as

sleeping in a baby's cradle.

Okay, you fly. I'll go

by cradle. Get in there.

That's the boy.

Strap yourself in there.

Huh? Strap yourself in there.

Strap myself in? In the plane? Yeah.

With a strap? Around me?

With a strap around here.

What's the matter? I ain't

gonna strap myself in there.

Why won't you? Let go. I'm not

gonna strap myself in that airplane.

Why not? In case I want to jump,

I'm not gonna drag no plane with me!

What goes, kid?

I'm through,

washed out.

Who said so? Nobody,

but that's what it means.

Everybody has had a chance to solo

except me, and I'm not gonna get a chance.

Did Morrison tell you

that? He didn't have to.

Where is that guy? That's

no good for either of us.

This is a better idea.

Packing is all right, but how

are you gonna get out of here?

You just can't walk out

the front gate without a pass.

Maybe you're right.

Why don't we both

kiss this place good-bye?

Come on.

Hurry up, Blackie. Wait,

Jinx. You can't do this.

You can't go up without

orders. You're grounded!

Write me a letter

about it.
