Test Pilot Page #7

Hi, dear!

What kind of a drink

Is that-"hi, dear"?

Oh, that's

A great drink.

"hi, dear"

Is a kansas drink.

It originated

In wichita.

Oh! Well, then "hi,

Dear" is the best drink.

Here.

Have a clean one.

Well, well! Great day,

Mr. Drake. Great day.

The best race by far.

Not for me it wasn't, Mr. Brown.

There's Lane and the boys.

I'm going to speak to them.

I wouldn't bother. They're pretty drunk.

Let them alone.

Glad to do it, Mr. Drake.

Glad to do it.

Boys! Boys! Boys!

Boys! Boys! Let me

Introduce myself.

We know you!

He's the chamber

Of commerce!

He's the mayor!

No, boys, no,

I'm not the mayor,

But all the champagne

You can drink is on me.

Waiter! Waiter!

Champagne for the boys!

He's

Mr. Cleveland!

No, no, but I know what these

Races mean to this fair city.

Fair cleveland.

Boys, boys!

I'm interrupting

This festive gathering

For two reasons, which

Consists of two toasts.

The first, to Jim Lane,

Who won today,

The greatest race

In aviation history.

Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

How does it feel to be the star? Gosh!

I'll pin it

On you, baby.

The second toast, to the man who

Sacrificed his life in the same race,

Your buddy Fred Benson!

Who's Benson?

Never heard

Of him.

Get going.

Come on. Scram!

Get out of here!

Come on!

Who is Benson?

Any of you guys

Ever hear of him?

Yeah. Sure, sure. He's

The guy that went to italy.

What license

Did that guy ever have to fly?

He didn't have any.

It's too tough, baby.

The sky looks sweet

And wears

A pretty blue dress,

Doesn't she? Yeah.

Don't kid yourself.

She lives up there.

She invites you

Up there,

And when she gets you

Up there,

She knocks you down.

A nice guy like Benson.

Don't think, honey.

I'm not thinking, honey.

I'm just telling you.

Benson wasn't

Good enough for her.

"come on. Get out of the

Sky. I don't like you."

Sure. That's her. But

Don't let her fool you

When she looks

Soft and sweet.

She sits in your lap

And purrs, doesn't she?

Yeah. She don't fool me none,

Because wham! And there it is.

Fire is still fire.

Stuck her little tongue

Out at me, didn't she?

All fiery red,

A kiss from cinderella.

She didn't get away

With it, did she?

Did she, kansas?

She got kissed right back.

Yeah, and when you take her by

The throat, you shake her silly,

You slap her back, you put her in

Her place, and you give her the left.

That vicious,

Scheming, rotten-

Darling-

Waiter! Waiter! Waiter!

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm trying to get

Some of that dough.

Is that any way to get

It? Gentlemen don't grab.

If you're going to grab,

Grab a waiter.

Waiter! Waiter! Waiter!

Look, Jim,

You know you-

I'll know you when you

Come back with a bottle.

Who are you?

A girl.

Yeah?

Who told you so?

You did.

I don't even know

Your name.

I know yours.

I'm a famous guy.

Yeah.

I want

A blue dress.

Blue?

She wears a blue dress up there.

Who does?

Miss "up there."

I look nice

In blue.

What do I get

For it?

I'll purr

In your lap.

You wore

A red dress once.

I've switched.

You've what?

What are you

Doing here anyway?

What do you want?

Waiter! Waiter!

Gunner, will you

Take me home?

You sick?

No. I'm just

Tired.

What's the matter?

Come on now, Jim. It's time

For all of us to go home.

All right. You go right along.

I'll be right along after.

Thanks for the party,

Darling.

Going to be a lot

Of them, honey.

Take her along home,

Gunner. She's tired.

Where'll you be?

I'll be right here.

Got any money

For a cab?

Yeah, yeah. Sure.

Here. Here.

Take it all.

Thanks. Won't leave you short, will it?

Well, I met her,

Didn't I?

Who?

My rival.

Sure, sure, you met her.

Don't just "sure" me

Like that, gunner.

I tell you,

I met my rival,

And she rides with him

When he's alone up there.

Oh.

Yeah.

And it's hard

To cut out a girl

A man loves

When he's alone.

He never looked at me the way he looked

When he said he slapped

Her back in her place.

Yeah.

I met her,

All right.

Don't worry. I'll stay right with him.

Gunner?

Hmm?

Tell him

I want to be slapped.

Back to the same place,

And I ain't sightseeing.

...in your eyes

So blue

Let me call you

Sweetheart...

Next bar from here.

Don't shake me.

I'm awake.

I phoned long enough. You should be.

Yeah. I heard you

The first time.

Why didn't you

Answer it?

What would I answer it

For? I knew who it was.

Do you know

What day it is?

I know it's day and it

Isn't night. That's enough.

You know

Where you are?

I know

I was in detroit.

Yeah. Now you're

In chicago.

Chicago?

Chicago.

Chicago, chicago

I don't feel

Like doing that.

You've been in every

City but indianapolis.

Where is she?

Last time I saw her,

She was in cleveland.

That was 4 days ago.

Yeah. You don't have

To worry, though.

I talked to her

On the phone,

And I had just

Enough dough left

To wire her back

To new york.

Hmm.

Yeah, and speaking

Of dough,

I suppose you got my share

Right here with you, huh?

Look in my pants.

Even the handkerchief

Is blown.

In the vest.

There ain't no vest.

Where is it?

Ask the vest!

Well, pal,

It was a great race.

I'm glad you won.

Time to go home,

Isn't it?

I don't know.

Maybe it is.

Anyway,

It's an idea.

Yeah.

And I've got to say

I'm sorry, I suppose.

And yet if there's any

Fuss, I'm going to be sore.

You know how it is.

No, I don't, but let's

Go home and find out.

And I hope she still likes

You because she's a good girl.

She'd make a fine

Wife for somebody.

We're all right

So far.

Asleep.

That's better than having

Them awake. You ought to know.

I:

- I think I'll go in and see how she is.

Yeah. I think

That'd be fine.

Yeah. Yeah.

I'll go in.

Yeah. Go right in.

I'm going.

Yeah.

What are you

Going to do?

Stay here, where

I can get out quick.

Wise guy.

You're the fella that

Always takes the chances.

You ought to

Know that one.

You want to come

With me?

No. No, thank you.

Oh.

Hello.

How are you, ann?

I didn't think

I was asleep.

How are you,

Bad boy?

Pretty bad boy.

Feeling low?

I've been up higher.

Sure.

I'm glad

To see you, ann.

I'm glad.

Is gunner

Out there?

Yeah.

I'll be out

In a minute.

Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

Come on out.

Nothing to it.

What'd she say?

Nothing.

Hello.

Howdy.

You're both

Looking fine.

Well, you know, we've been out before.

Experience helps.

Say, what have you

Been doing?

Gee, that's just like him to

Say that like that, isn't it?

Well, dear, you've had

More fun than I have.

Well, I've tried, if

You put it that way.

And I've tried

For 5 days

To think of some way

To be cross with you.

Oh, Jim, if I could

Only hate you.

What do you want to hate me for, baby?

Gee, that would be fine.

And don't sit there

And look so, dear.

He's looking at me

Like he used to,

Just looking.

Look at gunner.

Hey!

There it is.

You see what I mean,

Gunner? When he just looks?

That's why I married him,

So it must be some look.
