DOOLITTLE:
That's bullshit, son. But it's really
good bullshit.
RAFE:
Thank you, Sir.
Doolittle stands, moves around his desk, and shakes Rafe's
hand.
DOOLITTLE:
Good luck over there McCawley. I admire
your decision.
RAFE:
Thank you, Sir.
INT. NEW JERSEY AIRFIELD - BARRACKS - NIGHT
The pilots are getting slicked up for a night on the town.
Danny's at the mirrors with the others; he's putting on
cologne, and looks terrific in his uniform.
Anthony and Billy are combing their hair at the sinks. Billy
declares to his image in the mirror --
BILLY:
You good-lookin' sumbitch...don't you
EVER die!
ANTHONY:
That's your line for tonight, ya know.
BILLY:
What, good-lookin' sumbitch?
ANTHONY:
No, numbnuts, die. You get your nurse
alone, you look her in the eye, and say,
"Baby, they're training me for war, and I
don't know what'll happen. But if I die
tomorrow, I wanna know that we lived all
we could tonight." I've never known it
to fail.
Red finishes brushing his teeth at the sink beside them.
RED:
He's n-never known it to work, either.
The guys head out laughing, running into Rafe coming in.
DANNY:
Doolittle didn't kill you? Attaboy!
Rafe catches Danny's arm.
RAFE:
Danny, there's something I gotta tell
you...
EXT. NEW JERSEY BARRACKS - NIGHT
Rafe and Danny are walking on the parade ground; the other
guys are already on the bus that will take them into town.
Danny's upset by what Rafe just told him.
DANNY:
How could you do this?
RAFE:
The Colonel helped me work it out.
DANNY:
I don't mean how'd you do the paperwork,
I mean how the hell did you do it without
letting me in on it?
RAFE:
I'm sorry, Danny, but they're only
accepting the best pilots.
DANNY:
Don't make this a joke, Rafe. You're
talking about war, and I know what war
does to people.
RAFE:
Danny, you know how many times I saw you
come to school with a black eye or a
busted nose, and couldn't do a thing
about it -- for you, or for your mother...
or your father, with his lungs scorched
out with mustard gas, and more left of
his lungs than there was of his spirit?
You've made your sacrifice, Danny. It's
time I made mine.
BILLY:
(from the bus)
The nurses are waiting!
RAFE:
Let's go.
DANNY:
Nah, you go on.
RAFE:
I have to talk to Evelyn. And I want you
to meet her.
DANNY:
Some other time. I don't feel like a
party.
Danny walks away. The bus driver's ready to leave, and Red
is honking the horn for Rafe to come. Rafe reluctantly lets
Danny go, and heads for the bus, where the pilots are
chanting --
PILOTS VOICE:
Nurses! Nurses! Nurses!
The trains of 1942 have their own beauty, with felt seats,
shaded lamps, and paneled compartments even in the economy
section. But the glow of the train is outshone by EVELYN
STEWART. She's one of ten young women, Army nurses, gathered
