Yanks Page #5

.Here's a peach.

.I can see what you see in him, Jean.

.He's thoughtful. Very pleasant.

.If it wasn't for Ken...

.I just wish we knew more about him.

.That's it, Danny! Kill the limey!

- Bloody Yankee!

- Get away from him! Stay away!

. Smash his bloody ugly face in!

.Hit him! Keep your head up!

.Hit him in the guts! Come on! Go!

.Go on, Danny!

. Danny, get that limey bastard!

. All the way, USA!

.All right, Danny! Champ!

.How are you?

- All right. How long you home for?

- Two weeks of freedom.

- Let's wear your hat.

- Go on, shorty, but I want it back.

- Hello, Mrs Shenton.

- Hello, Ken, love. Welcome home.

.Thank you. You're looking well.

.How are you? Can I carry your kitbag?

.No mucking about. Government property.

.Come on, shorty. Pick your feet up.

.You all right, lad?

.Huh? Yeah, I'm all right.

.Come on, snap out of it.

.Well, Jean, you're a grand girl and

.we've watched you grow up with pride.

.And we don't give you away easy.

.It'd take a special kind of lad

.to persuade us.

.But Ken here, well, he is.

.You know, us old 'uns,

.we do our best here at home.

.But it's youngsters like these two

.that bear the brunt.

.The danger, the separation and the worry.

.So good luck to you both.

.And let's hope this bloody war's over

.by the time we all get together

.to put the rubber stamp on it.

- Hear! Hear!

- So raise your glasses to Jean and Ken.

- Jean and Ken.

- All the luck in the worid.

- Congratulations, love.

- Thanks, Auntie Maud.

.Come on. You act

.like she's the only girl in the worid.

.You ever hear of other fish in the sea?

.Like that one right over there?

.She's nice, but she's with somebody.

.Chee.

.Excuse me. Would you care

.to take a little twirl round the dance floor?

- I'm just having a drink.

- The lady's with me.

.She doesn't want to dance.

.I didn't hear her.

.Do you wanna dance with me?

.Well, no, thanks. I'm with friends.

- Why don't you...

- You don't dance with Americans?

- Look, shove off.

- No, I don't dance with Americans.

- We're having a good time. Leave us.

- Don't dance?

- I got cigarettes here. Want cigarettes?

- No, thanks.

.You take cigarettes from Americans.

.Have a cigarette.

- Have a couple of cigarettes.

- That's gone in my drink.

- Maybe some whisky...

- We don't want any.

- Drinks on me!

.Bloody hell!

. Come on, let's get outta here!

.Come on, man! Move it! Go! Go! Go!

.# I like your lips and I like your eyes

- Whoa! What the hell's going on?

- Try down here!

.Yanks. Yanks.

.Come on!

.Round the back here! Further on!

.Jean.

- Jean.

- Hey.

- Hey. You OK?

- Yeah.

.Come on. We need a drink. Let's go.

- Teddy! Teddy, open up!

- Come on.

- Teddy, we want a drink.

- Come on, he's not here.

- Teddy!

- You're gonna wake everybody up!

- Rise and shine, Teddy!

- You're crazy!

.What the bloody hell's going on?

.Do you realise what time it is?

.What the hell do you want?

- We want a drink.

- Oh, it's you two, is it?

- Get us a half-and-half.

- OK, lads. Half-and-half coming up.

- Half-and-half, half-and-half!

- Half's mine and half's the wife's.

- Sh*t!

- It's piss.

- All right, Eddie!

- Wait a minute!

- Oh, Jesus Christ.

- Take your hands off me.

.Sounds to me

.like you were looking for a fight.

.Yeah, I was, sir.

.You've been running

.with the Moreton girl?

.Yeah, I took her out a couple of times.

.Nothing serious.

.It's very easy to get involved

.with women while you're over here.

.But it's their country

.and you gotta play by their rules,

.even if you don't understand

.them sometimes.

Look, sir, I got drunk,

made a damn fool of myself.

No excuses.

Confine them

to the company area for a week.

If you're caught fighting again,

we'll take your stripes.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Take a hike.

On platform one, London Euston train,

calling at Stockport and London Euston.

Nice to have something

to laugh about, eh?

- Ken...

- Listen, Jean.

The er... The garage.

My dad says it's mine

when it's all over.

I'd like it.

I can build something for us out of it,

honest.

I know you can. I know that.

It would be pretty plain sailing, Jean,

you and me. Maybe a bit too plain.

If we come through it the same,

at least we'll be certain, won't we?

Just get back, eh? Just get back safe.

Train at platform one is the London train

calling at Crewe, Stockport and London.

Passengers for North Wales,

change at Crewe.

Passengers for North Wales...

Hey, lads, where you going?

They're not as cheap as us in London.

- I don't envy you that lot.

- Shall I send you one for Christmas?

No, thanks. I think I'd rather

take on the flaming Japs.

- Ken...

- Now, you're not to worry, kid.

This new lot I'm joining, they're

no mugs. Crack troops.

Better than scrubbing around

in the infantry, eh?

- There's something I want...

I love you, kid. Be happy on your say-so.

- I'm asking nothing, right?

- Ken, please.

- I'll be thinking of you every minute.

- Ken, look after yourself.

- Look after yourself.

- Goodbye.

- Don't forget to write.

- Goodbye.

Bye.

Goodbye!

- See you soon!

- Bye!

# I'll be seeing you

# In every lovely summer's day

# In everything that's bright and gay

# I'll always think of you that way

# I'll find you in the morning sun

# And when the night is new

# I'll be looking at the moon

# But I'll be seeing you

- Ice cream!

Everybody likes ice cream!

Ice... You want ice cream?

We got ice cream.

# I'll find you in the morning sun

# And when the night is new

# I'll be looking at the moon

# But I'll be seeing you

- Hey.

- Hey.

You having a good time?

Ladies and gentlemen, we're just about

to say goodbye to 1943, hello to 1944

in ten seconds.

Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three, two, one!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Jean.

Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

- Hi.

Oh, hello.

I just want to be the first

to wish you a happy New Year.

Happy New Year. Where are you, John?

I'm in the office.

Wish you weren't on duty.

We should be celebrating somewhere.

Listen, this was a very canny

manoeuvre on my part.

- Was it? - I scored points for

volunteering tonight.

Did you?

Besides, if I can't be with you,

I'd just as soon be alone.
