- All right.

- Excuse me, will you?

- Sure.

Any of you fellas want my autograph?

[MEN LAUGHING]

JIMMY:

And now, the Golden Gate Quartet.

[SINGING]

Said the general to the captain:

"Pops, we gonna cause a commotion"

Then one early morn, they up and gone

The general jumped, he jumped at dawn

Said the captain to the private:

"Man, we gonna flannel the channel"

Then one early morn, they up and gone

The general jumped, he jumped at dawn

- Bye-bye

- Bye-bye

- Bye-bye

- Bye-bye

I'll see you in the sky at Versailles

- Drop in

- Drop in

- Drop in

- Dropping in

We'll have a barbeque in Berlin

Said the private to the general:

"Jack, my jeep is ready and steady"

Then one early morn they up and gone

The general jumped, jumped at dawn

The general had a groovy crew

A million lads and I'm telling you

There were white men

Black men on the beam

A real solid all-American team

He had tall men, small men

Fat and lean

The fightin'est crew

That you've ever seen

Every creed and color and every belief

From an Eskimo to an Indian chief

He had a Sergeant Swenson

A Captain Kelly

Corporal Rosen

And a cook, Morelli

Lieutenant Jackson

And a Private Jode

Then the general said,

"Let's hit the road"

We'll jump, two, three, four

Remember, boys, we've gotta win the war

Said the private to the general:

"Jack, my jeep stays ready and steady"

One early morn they up and gone

The general

The general jumped at dawn

MAN:
Good evening, Miss Leslie.

- Good evening.

GIRL:
Hello, Miss Leslie.

- Hello, Miss Leslie.

I got a call from Bette

to hurry right down.

- She's waiting down the hall for you, Joan.

- Thanks, Andrea.

Bette.

- Oh, hello, Joan.

JOAN:
Hello.

Thank you so much for coming.

I hated to ask you to leave your party,

but this is special.

What's up, Bette?

- You know we don't often show favoritism.

- Yes.

But there's a boy who was wounded

in New Guinea...

...who's been shipped home

after two years in the jungle.

His doctor's given him an okay to report

for his transfer next week.

So he won't be here long.

And all he asks of his leave

is a look at you.

Oh, well, that's easy.

I'll give him a good look.

- Good.

- Hi, Joanie, I've fixed everything.

I found an old hat check in my pocket

with the number 77.

I gave it to the guy and made

like everybody had to have a check.

- For what?

- The winning number gets a kiss...

...from sweet Joanie. Get it?

- Gee, I...

- Isn't that setting a bad precedent, Johnny?

Well, this is something special. Go up to the

fingerprint room, I'll take care of the rest.

Are we going to be introduced first?

I hope.

I think that's the least we can do.

Hi, Johnny. I saw you last in Italy.
