The Gang's All Here Page #2

A long way from their girls.

You can't blame them if they get | off the beam once in a while.

They're all pretty sweet.

Even the wise ones.

Say, would you think | I was too forward if I, uh-

If you what?

Well, if I asked you your name?

No, of course not. It's Allen. | What's yours?

- What? | - I said, "What's your name? "

Oh. Well, uh, it's, uh, Casey.

Casey? Hmm. | That's a pretty good name.

- "Casey at the bat. " | - That's me.

- Huh? | - Well, I-

I mean, | I played a lot of baseball.

- Are you pretty good? | - Well, that depends.

Sometimes I, uh, | don't even get to fiirst base.

- I like baseball. | - So do I.

I like dancing too.

- Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. | - That's all right.

Would you like something to eat?

- Why, yes. I guess I would. | - Doughnuts and coffee?

- If you led me to it, I'd eat hay. | - Well, come on.

May I have a couple, June?

Thank you. | There you are.

- Oh, cream and sugar? | - No, thanks.

You'll fiind those awfully good. | You can dunk if you'd like to.

- Dunk? | - Mm-hmm. Like this.

- Isn't that better? | - Yes, much better.

Here. Have another bite.

Couldn't we just talk? | I'm not awfully hungry.

Well, I have to leave pretty soon now. | I've got a show to do.

A show? | Are you an actress?

Well, not exactly. | Just a showgirl from the Club New Yorker.

- A showgirl. | - Mm-hmm.

- Gee, no wonder you're so glamorous. | - Now.

- Say, if I'm not being too forward- | - Yes?

You suppose I could walk | to the club with you?

Or do you have a boyfriend?

I haven't a boyfriend. No.

- But we're not allowed to leave the canteen with soldiers. | - Oh.

And, uh, now I'm afraid | I'll have to say good night.

Good night?

Won't I ever see you again?

Well, I'm here | three nights a week.

Yes, but I won't have | another leave for some time.

I'm sorry. | Best of luck, soldier.

Thanks.

- You're sweet. | - Thanks.

Well, looks like | we've reached our objective.

- Good night, Casey. | - I wish you didn't have to go in.

- Good night, soldier. | - Couldn't I meet you after the show?

We could sort of go out and you could | show me the town sort of. Will you?

- I'd love to. | - Really?

I'll be fiinished at 1:30.Just in time | for a drink and dance at the Stork Club.

Then on to El Morocco, then just | a quick look in on Monte Carlo.

After that, we'll go | to Lindy's for a late bite...

and then I know | a swell spot on 52nd Street.

Won't cost you more than $50...

that is, of course, | if you don't tip too heavily.

We're gonna have lots of fun, | Sergeant.

- Those places are pretty expensive, aren't they? | - Yes, they are.

Well, I'm afraid I couldn't afford it, | not on a sergeant's salary.

- Well, then what do you say we skip the whole thing? | - All right.

- Good night, soldier. | - Good night.

- Casey. | - Yeah?

Would you-Would you like | to see the show?

- Gee, would I! | - I'll fiix it for you out front.

Oh, don't go to all that trouble. | I'll see it from backstage.

- Good night, Ben. | - Good night.

- Good night, Ben. | - Oh, Miss Allen...

I just had a nice talk | with your boyfriend here.

Didn't know | you had a sweetheart.

I, uh- I- I told him we were sweethearts. | I hope you don't mind.

Stop acting like Don Ameche, | and get me a taxi.

- I've got one waiting. | - Thank you.

Let's go over by the rail.

First a taxicab, | then the Staten Island Ferry.

You certainly can pick 'em.

Well, you see, I thought it was nearer | and really much cheaper than-

Any nightclub in town.

- You know, it is kind of nice to get out of the city at that. | - I'll say.

- It's beautiful out here, isn't it? | - Mm-hmm.

You're beautiful too, Eadie. I couldn't keep | my eyes off you in that show tonight.

You ought to be the star | instead of just one of the girls.

I won't be for long. Phil promised me | a song in the new show.

Really? | I didn't know you could sing.

- Phil thinks I can. | - He's a swell guy.

You'll like him | when you get to know him.

That sounds as though you're going | to let me come around some more.

- Could be. | - Well, after all...

I suppose I'll have to hear | you sing sometime, won't I?

Yes, I suppose you will.

Well, what are we waiting for?

All right, soldier, you win.

Ready?

Hear the orchestra?

Yeah.

Where's it coming from?

Where's your imagination?

Gee, that's swell.

- Did you really like it? | - You bet I did.

- Hey. | - What?

Look over there.

The evening star.

Over your left shoulder too.

That ought to mean something.

Oh, I- I forgot to tell you.

We're gonna have Benny Goodman | and his orchestra in the new show.

- Oh, you are? | - Mm-hmm.

That's fiine.

I'm certainly glad | I met you tonight.

- Why? | - Oh, lots of reasons.

Do me a favor, will you?

Sing that song again.

- Oh, you don't want to hear it again. | - Oh, yes, I do.

- That sounds like an order. | - It is.

Okay, Sergeant.

- Here we are. Wait for me. | - Yes, sir.

- Well? | - Oh, no. I'm gonna take you right up to the door.

- Will I see you tomorrow night? | - I thought you had to go back to camp.

Well, I do, but you'll be at the | Grand Central Station to see me off.

I hadn't thought about it.

You'll think about it now, | won't you?

Uh-huh.

- But you haven't even told me where you were going. | - Huh?

Well, I mean your camp. | Where is it?

Oh. Oh, well, uh-

- Well, that's a military secret. | - Is it north, east, south or west?

I- I can't tell you that either.

- You see, I've never been there before. | - Oh.

But from what the fellas tell me, | it's really a paradise for soldiers.

- No. | - Yeah.

They say it's warm | and beautiful there.

And at night, even the ocean | sings you to sleep.

And the moon and the stars, | why, they-

- Oh, that's swell. | - Yeah.

You'll be hearing from me | the minute I get there.

My train leaves at 8:00.

I'll meet you at | the information booth at 7:30.

Well, I, uh- | I don't know whether I can make it.

You see, I have a- | I have a rehearsal in-

in the morning, | and I don't know for how long.

Then I promised Mabel...

from there I'd go to Brooklyn | with her to see the Dodgers play.

I- I guess maybe I could miss | seeing the Dodgers.

Won't hurt anything.

- Don't be late. | - I won't.

Remember. | Grand Central Station. 7:30.

I'll be there.

Good night.

Good night.

Did you have | a good time in town?

Well?

Vivian, I want to tell you | about last night.

- You see, I- | - Andy, you don't have to explain anything to me.

I simply asked you | if you had a good time.

Well, uh, yes, I did.

Well, that's all that matters.

You're a good sport, Vivian.

- But then, you've always been. | - Sure.

- You're a very lucky guy to have a girl like me. | - I know that.

However, don't think | I won't be properly jealous...

if you go cruising around | in that uniform...

and get yourself a sweetheart | in every port.

Oh, I'm a soldier, | not a sailor.

A soldier can get | in deep water too.

Sometimes way over his head.

I wish I could take this pool | of yours back to the camp with me.
