Operation Petticoat Page #10

They may have a weapon

we know nothing about.

Keep them quiet.

That's an order.

What do you suggest we do?

- You are nurses. Make them stop.

We're trying.

- What is so difficult about keeping babies quiet?

Oh, you try.

I can't. I have to go back

to the control room.

Here, try this one?

- Certainly.

Thank you.

You'll be a wonderful father.

Don't bother trying.

He's already engaged.

To a super chief.

Hunkle, get all these

pillows and blankets.

What's up, Chief?

- The skipper's wants them to think we're sinking.

We're sending up an oil slick and

everything that isn't tied down.

Give us a hand, Dooley.

- Okay.

Sorry, ladies.

And these life jackets, sir?

- Might as well. Throw them in.

Tube three ready to fire, sir.

Captain, look!

We've sunk them.

Maybe.

Or they could be

pulling a fast one.

Continue depth charges.

- Continue depth charges.

They're not buying it.

They got your girdle, Edna.

That's all right, Sam.

You know? I spent a lot of years

disliking women.

But I don't dislike you.

Really?

You are different.

You're not a woman.

You're more than that.

You're a mechanic.

Thank you, Sam.

Just when somebody comes up

with an idea how I can go home.

What idea, Hunkle?

- Lieutenant Reid, sir.

She figured out what I can do about Gertie.

- Yes?

Tattoo panties and a bra on her.

- Oh, that's nice.

Panties and a bra.

Panties and...

Sir, we've been sending up

the wrong stuff!

This is the Captain.

Nurses will return to

their quarters and take off...

... their undergarments.

- Mr. Holden will be

right there to collect them.

Here.

Okay, lock it up.

Captain, off the port bow.

More debris.

That's debris?

Stand by with a

grappling hook!

Come on, get that

thing up here!

Come on, come on!

The Japanese have

nothing like this.

Cease fire!

Captain, this is going

to be terrible.

We should have

come in at night.

I'm afraid it's too late, Chief.

We're already committed.

Fall in.

- Yes, sir.

All right.

Fall in!

Sir, we're never going

to live this down.

We may be pink and coming in by the grace

of a woman's brassiere, but we're coming in.

Show the colors!

- Show the colors!

Admiral.

The Captain's arriving, sir.

And we're ready get underway.

Thank you, Chief.

Chief, will you drive Mrs. Holden

and the boys back? Thank you.

Bye, baby.

Bye, darling.

- Bye, boys.

Attention on deck!

Carry on.

Good morning, Admiral.

- Morning, Captain.

Any last-minute reprieve?

- No go.

I hate to take her to the junkyard.

- Yes, I know.

A new atomic submarine comes

off the ways in a month;...

its the same name... "Sea Tiger".

It will be your next command.

That's great. Thank you, sir.

Here's something else.

Did you put everything here?

- Yes, everything.

I feel it will be in safer hands now.

- You know it will.

I suggest you don't show it to your children

until they're old enough to understand.

All right, Nick, take her away.

- Yes, sir.

By the way, where is my wife?

- I don't know. She never showed.

Attention on deck!

Okay, Jack. Let's shove off.

Aye aye, sir.

Take in the brow!

Take in all lines!

Hi Uncle Matt.

- Hello guys, how are you?

What happened to her?

We waited as long as we could

and finally took a cab.

That must be her.

Yes, that's her.

Driver! The bumpers

are hooked!

Stop!

Hey driver!

Stop!

Darling, I 'm terribly sorry.

I stepped on the brake...

- Leave it. Never mind.

Yes, but your car...

- I know, dear. Don't worry...

they'll stop it at the gate.

Strange, still that number one engine

I guess they were never able to fix that.
