nothing can go wrong,

you're in control.

Hey, sailors, one of you guys gotta

come down to station with me.

- Any choice? You'll do. Come on.

- Hey, wait a minute.

Please, let's not have

any unpleasantness.

I'll go with you, Joe.

How can this happen to me?

Just when I'm beginning

to feel like a wolf.

The secretary of the Navy

will have a say about this.

Washington will hear about it.

Who's in charge here?

That's what I wanna know.

- Ship ahoy!

- Are you the guy that had me pulled in?

- Pardon me for not getting up.

- What's the charge? What's the idea?

- What are you...?

- If you've been inconvenienced

I'm sorry.

You see, this young man

thinks he should join the Navy.

We think he should go home.

Since he won't tell us where he lives

we thought that maybe a sailor...

See?

So you wanna join the Navy, huh?

Aye, aye, sir.

Attention.

- Name?

- Don Martin, sir.

- Where do you live?

- 1515 Foothill Road.

My daddy was in the Navy

and he said that when

I was grown up, I could join.

And now I am grown up, so I want to.

Well, sure, mate, but...

Well, look, it's this way.

There's sort of a rule in the Navy.

Before they'll take you, you need a letter

from your mom or dad saying it's okay.

But I don't have

a mother or father anymore.

I live with my Aunt Susie.

You think a letter from an aunt

would be all right?

Well, sure, that would be perfect.

Why don't you talk to her about it.

One of these guys

will take you home and...

- You.

- But I got...

- Gotta be a nursemaid and everything...

- Aunt Susie may not give me the letter

but if you asked her...

- You better come along too.

- Oh, no, I can't.

- You come along.

- No, I can't.

What am I gonna do about Lola?

I guess Aunt Susie must be asleep, huh?

- She isn't home yet.

- I suppose the door is locked too.

Yes.

- But we can get in.

- How?

The way I got out.

Look out for my wagon.

"Dear Ms. Abbott,

Donald was a very good boy.

He's fast asleep.

So I went home. Mrs. Murphy."

I'll get you some candy.

- I know where Aunt Susie hides it.

- Wait a second.

- You think your aunt will be back soon?

- Oh, sure.

What do you mean, "oh, sure"?

How do you know?

Well, she lives here.

You know, sometimes he talks like you.

Look, fellas...

I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

I don't want you to think I'd walk out...

Well, you gotta stay here with the kid

anyhow and talk to his aunt and...

Well, I got a date with a girl,

and there's no sense in all of us just...

Well, that's great. That's just dandy.

He's got a date with a girl. What's he

think I've got a date with, a duck?

Goodbye. Thanks, fellas.

Brooklyn, I'm blowing,
