to impress my pupils.

I'll bet they're impressed.

Nobody'd ever take you

for Sherry's sister.

I guess not.

I've spent most of my life up the coast

in a little town called Bellport...

...while Sherry's been here.

Sherry!

-Bake!

-Sherry!

Well, what a surprise seeing you here!

Yeah. I'm kind of surprised

to see you here too.

Gosh, I'm glad to see you.

I'm glad to see you too.

Say, you better do something

for that cold.

Oh, this isn't a cold.

It's tears because

I'm so glad to see you.

I'm glad to see you too.

Thanks.

I've missed you, Bake.

I've missed you too.

A little bit.

Gosh, I'm glad to see you.

Same here.

I worried about you for two years

until I learned you'd joined the Navy.

Didn't you ever get my letter?

Oh, sure, I heard from you, all right.

Telling me about how well

you were doing and everything.

Why didn't you write to me?

I didn't think you cared

about hearing from me.

Especially after that last time

we saw each other.

Well, all I said was

I didn't want to marry you.

Yeah, I know.

It all seemed very important at that time.

But it doesn't make any difference now.

Doesn't it?

No. As you said, marriage

would have ruined your career.

Well, I found out I was wrong.

No, maybe you're right.

If you'd married me, you wouldn't

be working in a chop-suey joint like this.

Well, I don't see

any admiral's stripes on you.

I like to go incognito,

just to mingle with the boys.

Order, please.

I want a Coke.

And Miss Martin will have a chocolate

sundae without whipped cream.

With whipped cream, and plenty of it.

Gosh, you're glad to see me.

Well, you sure look different.

Don't I?

I'm beginning to feel different.

Kitty, there's a sailor I want to meet.

How do I go about it?

Are you kidding?

No. I mean, are there any rules?

Well, yes and no.

"Yes" before you meet him...

...and "no" after.

Gosh, Sherry, how'd you

ever get in a place like this?

Well, it seems I didn't mean

much after we split up.

For some reason, they're not

interested in a girl dancing alone...

...unless she's got a fan.

Well, a fan doesn't cost much.

Gee, it's swell being with you again.

Friends?

-Friends.

-Let's kiss and make up.

No, let's just make up.

That'll give you something to work for.

Why don't you guys take a walk.

Hiya, baby.

Hello, sailor.

-So you know my name.

-Sure.

Haven't we met before?

That's what I should have said.

No, but haven't we?

Not a chance.

Think I could forget a face like yours?

Well, I must have been mistaken.

But we're meeting now.

Wanna dance?

Oh, I was under the impression

that you didn't dance.

Who, me?

I'm the heavyweight

dance champ of the fleet.
