Test Pilot Page #3

Hello!

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Lane. You look

Just the way you ought to.

Hi, Joe.

Joe, this

Is gunner.

Hello.

Hello, Joe.

Glad to see you.

Gee, you

Had me worried.

I thought you'd forgotten about tonight.

Oh. Is it tonight?

Yes. Did you

Forget?

We're having

A dance, Mr. Lane.

Wouldn't you both

Like to come?

No. I'm afraid

We can't get away.

I'll get you

Some nice girl.

I don't think

They'd like it.

Come on.

Wait for me, Joe.

Oh, thanks for

A lovely afternoon.

Yes, sir. Ain't noplace

Like the country.

Hear them sounds

And smell them smells.

Hmm. Honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle

And raspberries.

Hello.

Oh, hello, Mr. Lane.

Are you still up?

Hello.

How are you?

What have you

Been doing?

Sitting here

And thinking.

Oh.

It's nice here.

Yes, it is

Nice here.

And she's decided to stay

At last, haven't you, ann?

Where was she going?

I was going

To the moon.

Mr. Lane will

Tell you about that.

He's been nearer

Than you have.

Uh, what is

The altitude record?

I don't know. It changes all the time.

What's all

The smiling about?

I've been trying to win ann

For a long time, Mr. Lane,

But she very frankly told

Me she wanted someone better,

And my understanding

Of that

Is probably why

I won her tonight.

I don't get you.

We're going to

Be married.

All right. All right.

The prince

Is puzzled.

What do you call him

The prince for?

Well, isn't he?

They used to ride white

Horses over some hill,

But nowadays they go so

Fast, they can't see straight.

Gee whiz, they go right

Around the world like that

Until they're right back over the hill

Where they

Started.

Do you know

What she means?

No.

I don't either.

When she talks like this,

Mr. Lane, I just let her go.

Now, Joe, kiss me

Good night.

I'm tired.

Right.

Good night, Mr. Lane,

And good-bye.

Good night, Joe.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

She must have heard that talk

About a horse, and she's sore.

Good night!

Good night.

He's a nice fellow.

Did anyone ever

Nickname you "nice"?

No. Why?

It seems to be

Your favorite word.

He's still

A nice fellow.

And you think I made

A nice choice.

This is the life.

Sitting out here tonight's

The first time

I've ever felt peace

Since I was born.

It's a nice life.

I mean, it's fine.

Hey, you're a flip, girl.

Ha ha ha!

You're charming.

Yeah.

You turn your head like

A big bear and just gaze.

It looks as if you

Were making up your mind

Whether you'd jump

At somebody or not,

And then you just

Decide not to.

It's very charming.

Mm-hmm.

You've got me

Watching for it

And thinking up things

To make you do it.

Look.

I'll show you.

I'm you.

And somebody

Says something,

And you go, "hmm?"

Well, if that isn't going out of

Your way to get a laugh, I ask you.

Hey!

There. Ha ha! That's the way you do it.

Sure.

I'd go out of my way

Any day to get that.

What are you going to

Marry that guy for?

You don't love him.

What makes you

Suddenly say that?

Just the way

You're behaving now-

Like a little flirt.

I don't like you

For saying that.

That's tough. Look at the

Way you behaved all day.

One minute, you're going

To a show with me tonight.

The next, you get yourself

Engaged to him.

And then the minute he goes,

You're like this again.

Sure. That's right.

That's me.

Yeah.

And I rated you the

Best girl I ever saw.

It's rotten to be

Disappointed.

You'll be gone

In the morning.

It will soon

Be here.

I wish

I got out tonight.

I wish

I'd never landed.

I wish

I never saw you.

What do you think

I wish?

Do you think

I like this?

What are you

Trying to say now?

All my life,

I've waited

For this morning

To come

Because I thought

It had come.

I thought

It had brought

What I'd longed for

So long.

Well, I was wrong.

It was just

A day to you.

All right,

You don't love me.

What of it?

What did you get

Engaged to him for,

If that's the way

You feel?

Because I'm going to

Forget you-

Because he's fine-

Because I'm going to be a

Farmer's wife and a good one,

And don't kid yourself I'm not.

I'm grateful to you

For making me

Forget dreams,

For giving me peace.

Is that clear, or do you

Want me to blueprint it?

What do you want me

To do-say I love you?

No! Not in

A million years...

If your heart were

Tearing for me.

I'd like to see you

Get me now.

It's over-complete.

It was a thrill to see

You come out of the sky.

It will be

A greater one

To see you

Disappear in it.

You better

Get up early...

Because

It will be early.

Well...

Give my regards

To Joe.

What will I tell him?

You don't need anybody to talk for you.

Give my love

To the wichita team.

Well, he got away,

All right.

Yeah.

When do you go?

Right away.

Catch the first

Transport out.

Oh.

Then you'll want

Somebody to...

Drive you to wichita.

Never mind, pal.

Never mind.

You'll be glad

In the end.

Ann!

Ann!

All right, mother.

I- I forgot my hat!

Jim, you didn't.

What?

You didn't forget

Your hat.

What did I forget?

You forgot me.

What are you

Talking about?

You did.

You couldn't go.

You came back.

You couldn't go.

Well, then get in.

Don't ask any questions.

Let's get

Out of here.

Get in? How?

Here.

You'll be sorry

For this.

All right.

Not a word anywhere.

It's a crash.

Who have you

Sent out?

Oh, everybody.

Everybody!

He isn't worth it,

Either.

What are you

Talking about?

Oh, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Here he comes.

What is this?

I give up.

You know her?

Yes, sir.

Well, who is she?

The girl he left

This morning.

Oh, I give up.

Won't do any good.

Send him

Into my office.

That may do me

Some good.

That's all, frank.

This is my wife,

Gunner.

Oh, I've heard so much

About the gunner.

It's almost as if

I'd seen you before.

Now, wait a minute. I

Can't take any more today.

Just tell me about it

As it happened, will you?

I went back for her. We

Were married in indianapolis,

And now we're

With you again.

Married, huh?

Yeah. Where's Drake?

He's waiting

To congratulate you.

Hang on to her for me, will

You? I got to get some dough.

Gee, you must be

Surprised.

No, no, I'm not surprised.

I wouldn't be surprised

If he got married in indianapolis

And divorced in toledo.

I'm surprised

You didn't.

Now, listen to this.

You start out.

You're off on

A great adventure,

Carrying with you

The best we can give

You in work and hope.

You're due here

In 7 hours,

And aviation's supposed

To be advanced 7 years,

And what happens?

You arrive here 37 hours

Late and with a girl.

Now, I ask you!

Ha ha ha! Yeah,

But how she fits it-

You know,

One peach to another.

You're going to test that

Thompson racer on thursday.

Tomorrow's tuesday.

That will give you a couple

Of days for a honeymoon.

Well, the best of luck

To you. How's that?

Well, how about a couple

Of hundred in advance?

All right.

Right. I'll see you

A week from thursday.

No, no, no, no, no!
