- Ken, I bet you forgot my hairpins.

- Don't tell me I'm nearly at the North Pole.

- Looks more like my Kentucky home.

- Mr. Scott, Mrs. Chapman.

- A pleasure, Mrs. Chapman.

- Hi, nice to see you.

- Dr. Chapman, Mr. Scott.

- Dr. Chapman.

- Scotty's a newspaperman.

- You've come at an opportune time.

I happened to be in Anchorage when your

message came. I hope you have a good story.

- No more than you know already.

- Nothing more at all?

Just discussions as to what it might be.

We all have different ideas.

- There's been arguments about it.

- Where's Dr. Carrington?

- In the lab.

- See you later.

Does that mean you've seen the plane?

- Coffee, captain?

- No, thanks.

Our captain seems in a hurry, Lee.

- Where are you two going?

- We're with you.

- We want to tell her she treated you badly.

- Lf you don't want us to go...

- I'm gonna get even with you two someday.

- We got up in there.

Come in.

Hi, Pat. Welcome to our igloo.

How was your...?

Well...

- How was your trip?

- All right. About usual.

Well, that's fine.

- I think Dr. Carrington wants to see you.

- He can wait. I wanna talk to you.

- What about?

- That was a dirty trick you played.

- Don't lose your temper.

- Why did you do it? Just tell me why.

Well, your legs aren't very pretty.

You didn't have to write a note

and put it on my chest.

I'm sorry, Pat...

Six people read it before I woke up.

Now the whole Air Force knows.

- Not so loud. They'll hear.

- They already heard.

The only place it hasn't been

is on a billboard.

I didn't know you had

such a nasty temper.

Now, Pat, just be careful.

Now take it easy.

Now wait a minute.

We had a lot of fun

when you were up here.

Then when you asked me down

to Anchorage, you deliberately fed me...

Tell me, did you really drink

all those drinks?

- You didn't throw any away? Not one?

- No.

Holy cat. I thought I was good.

And another thing, why did you leave?

When I woke up in the morning

you were gone.

I told you I had to take

that cargo plane back here.

- You told me?

- Don't you remember?

No.

Right after dinner. You were telling

me all about a night in San Francisco...

Did I tell you that?

What else did I do?

Well, you had moments

of kind of making like an octopus.

- I never saw so many hands in all my life.

- All right. All right.

Look, my only excuse

is that I liked you...

...right away.

- So I started wrong. Can't we begin again?

- How would you begin?

- Well, I can think of several...

- Never mind.

We don't have time for that now anyway.

I know Dr. Carrington's waiting

to see you.

- What about this business of starting over?

- We'll talk about that later.
