Without Reservations Page #6

- Cozier.

- I think so too.

Next town we hit,

I wanna make a phone call.

- Who do you wanna call? A friend?

- Dink.

Well, I just don't want her

talking to strangers.

- Hello, folks. Gas?

- Hello. Yup.

- Do you have a telephone?

- Sure. Right in there.

Thank you.

- Can you reach it?

- Oh, you're doggone right I can.

Yes?

Who?

Christopher Madden?

Oh, sure, we'll accept the charges.

Put her on.

Hello, Ms. Madden.

Yes, just a moment, Ms. Madden.

Just... Mr. Baldwin.

Mr. Ba... Mr. Baldwin,

Ms. Madden is on the phone.

Ms. Madden.

What's happened to you?

Where are you?

I am in Raton, New Mexico.

Where in heaven's name

is Raton, New Mexico?

In New Mexico.

Oh, but that's impossible.

We expect you this afternoon.

I've arranged a big reception.

I've sent out notices to the press.

You can't do this to me.

How did this happen?

I missed the Chief, so I took

the Sunrise Limited as far as La Junta.

Why La Junta?

Because that's where I was taken

off the train.

Taken off?

What do you mean taken off?

They thought I was a beetle.

A what?

B like in Boston, double E-T-L-E.

Oh, I'll tell you all about it

when I see you.

That doesn't sound so good.

Don't worry. I'm not traveling under

my real name. Nobody knows who I am.

Not even the Marines.

The Marines? How many have you got?

Only two.

Rusty Thomas, he's Mark Winston,

and his pal Dink.

Dink's driving my car.

Oh, yes, I bought an Isotta.

A what? Never mind. Just tell me

where I can get in touch with you.

You can't. I don't want

to take the chance.

Rusty mustn't find out who I am yet.

You're sure you're not letting

personal feelings run away with you?

Of course I am.

Because Here is Tomorrow is all

my personal feelings bound together.

That's why I can tell you

he is Mark Winston.

Just as I dreamed of him.

We'll be there

late Friday or early Saturday.

I'll call you as soon as we get there.

Bye.

Ms. Madden? Ms. Madden?

Ms. Madden... See if you can get

her back. She's in Raton, New Mexico.

Raton, New Mexico.

Look, Mr. Baldwin,

She made the front page.

Both papers,

right next to Stalin and MacArthur.

To make the early edition, I had to

give them the story ahead of time.

- She won't be here.

- What?

She missed the Chief, kicked off a train.

She's in Raton, New Mexico.

Call the mayor, call the governor,

call everybody, call everything off.

Yes, Mr. Baldwin.

I hope Dink can fix it.

Oh, sure. Dink's a first-class mechanic.

But it'll take a little time.

How long do you think it will take?

Well, if he's half the man I think he is...

...it'll take him a couple of hours.

Say, what made you offer

to buy a car like that?

Maybe I just wanted to show off

that I could buy it if I wanted to.

- You know what?

- What?

I don't think

that's why you bought it at all.

- You don't?

- No, I don't.

You want me to tell you

why you bought it?

No, I don't think so.

Maybe I won't like why I bought it.

- Hello.

- How do you do?

- Am I crowding you?

- Yes.

Do you mind?

No.

Are you warm enough?

Yes.

Oh, what's the joke?

Nothing.

Well, come on. Tell me.

What made you laugh?

Just you and me.

Well, what's so funny about us?

I laughed because I knew...

...you were going to put

your arms around me and you did.

I didn't exactly expect to surprise you.

I know.

I guess you have a pretty good idea

what I'm gonna do now.

Any objections?

Did that mean anything to you?

Yes.

What?

Nice.

Just nice?

Very nice.

You mean it could have been nicer?

How?

If it had happened

under different circumstances.

You kissed me because we're

out here in a hayfield...

...with the moon shining above

and a lot of stars winking at us.

You see, if we could know

each other better...

...if we could be sure

of what's inside of us...

...our tastes, our interests,

our objectives.

- That couldn't have made it any better.

- Yes, it would have.

- You're wrong and I can prove it.

- You can?

I told you I could prove it.

Oh, you're unfair.

Things like kisses

shouldn't be discussed.

You make them sound

like they were laboratory tests.

I? You're the one who wants

to analyze everything.

I'd be perfectly willing

not to say another word.

Well, that's all right with me.

You're a little crazy, you know it.

- Oh, no, please.

- Oh, why don't you stop thinking.

No, stop it.

Oh! No. Rusty, it's just...

It's not good enough

to be carried away like this...

...by an errant impulse.

You know I like you.

I'm fond of you, I'm very fond of you...

...but I believe that you should...

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,

and can we be friends?

I wish I'd met you

before you read that book.

All finished?

All finished.

Come on.

Aren't you getting tired?

You've been driving almost 10 hours.

No.

Well, I am.

Wanna stop?

- No.

- I think the Isotta needs a little water.

We'll stop at the next ranch.

Oh, what's the matter with you?

Nothing.

Well, then why sit there

looking like...? Like...?

Like what?

I don't know but it's depressing.

Well...

...nobody says you have to look.

Something tells me it's time for me

to show off my tenor.

Do you know "It Must be Jelly

'Cause Jam Don't Shake Like That"?

No.

Well, do you know

"I'll Buy That Dream"?

Imagine me with my head

On your shoulder

And you with your lips growing bolder

A sky full of moon

And an old mellow tune

I'll buy that dream

Why don't you shut up?

Well, I'm just trying to be the life

of the party.

What's it all about?

They're happy to see us.

They're telling us their names.

Yes, we all have nice names.

Remedios, Chucho, Espacion,

ocotlan, Rosa, otelo.

Rusty, Kit, Dink.

Aviators. I, too, seores,

will be an aviator.

Mi padrecito says, "No, too young. "

But already, seores,

I have constructed a plane.

Oh, that's a pretty good start.

Perhaps, you would like to look

at the plane I constructed.

- Sure.

- Gracias.

We are not long in the Estados Unidos.

The Presidente Roosevelt,

he wished us to come from Mexico.

We grow the crops and raise the sheep.

- You?

- I watch.

Only Dolores. She doesn't like it.

I know why she not like this.

Not enough caballeros

to take her out, that's why.

Please, for me you will forgive

the bad manners of my brothers.

You are Dolores, I presume.

Seores...

...seorita.

Perhaps you will grace

our poor and simple hacienda.

Oh, we had a beautiful hacienda

in Mexico.

Many rooms, much wine,

many beautiful flowers...

Not so...

oh, we... We are now prepared

with dinner.

Mi padrecito will be very proud...

...to have as his guests,

officers of the Estados Unidos.

He's a very patriotic man, padrecito.

Oh, thank you very much,

but I'm afraid we must be going.

Oh, I'm sure we can spare the time.

On behalf of our good neighbor policy.

Si, Si, Si.

Then come in, seores.

What is ours is yours.

Yeah, I see, see, see.

It is a P-38, seores,

as you will easily recognize.

- I made it back home.

- Good lines.

Gracias, seor.

- A high-class job.
