WHILE YOU PLAY RUSSIAN BANK

WITH THAT-THAT BLONDE?

JOEL, WHETHER YOU HEARD

ABOUT IT OR NOT,

THERE'S A WAR

GOING ON IN EUROPE.

RIGHT IN THIS ROOM.

YOU HAVE BEEN MAKING SOMETHING

OF A NUISANCE OF YOURSELF, DEAR.

AFTER ALL,

I'VE HAD WORK TO DO.

YOU'RE STANDING THERE

LIKE A NOBLE,

LONG-SUFFERING MARTYR

JUST WAITING FOR ME

TO SPEAK MY PEACE AND GO.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SEND

ME AWAY, DO YOU, BILL?

NO, DARLING.

I MUST STAY HERE

FOR A WHILE.

BUT I'LL SEE YOU

TOMORROW?

YES, DEAR.

YOU KNOW, BILL,

UH, I CAN'T HELP BEING

A LITTLE SCATTERBRAINED

AND GIDDY ABOUT YOU EVERY-

DON'T SHOOT.

DON'T SHOOT.

IT'S PATRICK O'REILLY FROM

THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

I NEVER SHOT A MAN BY NAME OF

PATRICK O'REILLY IN MY LIFE.

HERE. NO, YOU DON'T.

I'LL HAVE THE HANDCUFFS

ON YOU, ME BUCKO.

ACCOUNTED FOR, MR. CARTER.

GET ON:

YOUR FEET HERE.

A TRANSMITTER.

PHONE SAN DIEGO:

TO GET HIM.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

WELL, IT WAS MIGHTY

ACCOMMODATING OF THE GERMANS

TO SEND OUT THIS MESSAGE

TELLING ME WHERE YOU WERE.

MR. CARTER,

I STAKED EVERYTHING

ON YOUR:

DECIPHERING THAT.

YES, AND YOU ALMOST LOST.

WHAT SAVED YOU WAS MY KNOWING

THAT THE FIRST MESSAGE WE SEND OU

UNDER THE FALSE CODE

MEANT NOTHING,

AND SO THE GERMANS COULDN'T POSSIBLY

HAVE OUR RENDEZVOUS POSITION.

HOW ABOU MY POSITION?

JOEL!

HOW LONG HAVE:

YOU BEEN HIDING THERE?

HIDING? HUH!

HIDING?

HE DID IT.

HE HIT ME OVER:

THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER.

I WHAT?!

HE TOLD ME HE LOVED ME

AND THEN HE HIT ME OVER

THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER.

MY DEAR CHILD,

GORDON SAVED YOUR LIFE.

HMM! THE NEXT THING YOU'LL BE TELLING

ME IS THAT I WAS CAPTURED BY THE GERMANS.

UH-

JOEL...

AH, DON'T YOU DARE

HIT ME AGAIN.

JOEL, DEAR.

WELL-

CAN YOU READ?

IT'S VERY INTERESTING.

WHAT IS IT?

LATITUDE 37 NORTH,

LONGITUDE 15 WEST.

IN OTHER WORDS,

THE RENDEZVOUS POSITION

OF THE GERMAN SPY RING.

NONSENSE. THAT'S

THE ADDRESS OF THIS HOTEL.

MY SWEET, WHEN YOU

WERE A LITTLE GIRL,

WERE YOU EVER:

DROPPED ON ANYTHING?

HMM.

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME ALL

THOSE PEOPLE WERE SPIES?

AH...

CAME THE DAWN.

HEH HEH HEH.

THEN THAT WOMAN:

WELL, I GUESS THAT OUGH TO TEACH YOU A LESSON,

RUNNING AROUND:

WITH A SPY.

WELL, GORDON, YOU

SAID YOU WANTED ACTION.

HOW DO YOU FEEL:

ABOUT IT NOW?

I THINK:

IT'S SWELL.

YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT YOU

STILL WANT TO GO TO WAR?

WHY, I CERTAINLY DO.

AND DON'T FORGET, SIR,

YOU PROMISED ME THAT AS

SOON AS I FINISH THIS JOB,

I COULD GO.

NO, NO, NO, NO,

UNCLE JOHN.

DON'T YOU DARE

LET HIM GO.

HE'S JUST TRYING TO GE OUT OF MARRYING ME.

AND TO THINK I COULD

HAVE HAD YOU SHOT.

OH, DARLING, I THINK

I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU.

A WIFE'S PLACE IS

WITH HER HUSBAND...

WHEN HE'S IN PARIS.

AH, BUT I'LL BE UP

AT THE FRONT.

BUT YOU COULD:

COME BACK OVER WEEKENDS.

OR WE COULD GET THE GERMANS

TO COME RIGHT DOWN TO PARIS.

THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE

TO LEAVE YOU AT ALL.

NO, DARLING. YOU CAN DO

JUST AS MUCH HARM HERE

AS YOU COULD IN PARIS.

ALL ABOARD!

I HATE GOOD-BYES,

DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE.

I WISH YOU'D KISS ME

AND LEAVE ME:

ALL OF A SUDDEN.

THEN I COULD JUST STAND RIGH HERE AND PRETEND YOU'RE GONE

FOR A PACKAGE:

OF CIGARETTES.

THAT'S RIGHT, DARLING.

I'VE JUST LEFT FOR A MINUTE,

AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

AND WHILE I'M GONE,

PLEASE BE MISERABLE

AND MISS ME AND LOVE ME.

LIEUTENANT GORDON?

YES.

MAJOR SLOAN'S

COMPLIMENTS, SIR.

YOU'RE TO REPORT BACK

AT THE WAR OFFICE

AT ONCE FOR DUTY.
