Miss Sadie Thompson

- Send it over.

- You're coming in loud and clear.

- Roger. Out.

- Send it to me when you have time.

The Orduna's in.

Pick up this gear in the mail.

- Any word on my discharge?

- No.

- How she look today, O'Hara?

- Better than yesterday.

When she looks good,

you've had it.

That's the day they take you

off this rock.

Never seen it to miss.

Won't be long.

- Come on!

- What's the rush?

You're disturbing the peace.

Okay, teacher.

Wait a minute!

Where you going?

- Good to see you, Mrs. Davidson.

- Hello, Mr. Harris.

- Dr. And Mrs. McPhail.

- How do you do?

- Your first trip to the islands?

- Since the war.

A sentimental journey?

- How are you, Mr. Davidson?

- Fine, fine.

- It's been a year.

- Everything's in order this time.

The governor is expecting you.

Sorry, we don't have much time.

- Would you take us to the mission?

- Certainly.

My father built

his mission there.

- This island looks volcanic.

- In more ways than one. They all are.

- It takes vigilance to keep control.

- To be friendly with the natives?

- To put it bluntly, yes.

- Any success?

Well, we do our best.

I'll have the luggage transferred.

All right, you guys, off it.

Here it comes.

I'll turn it around.

- Sarge? What kind of gear's coming in?

- Refrigeration unit.

- Bear a hand.

- How could that freeze anything?

I can't see her face.

Two years on this rock,

and you wanna see her face?

On a raft once, off Guadalcanal...

...something like that came straight

at me. Went right past me too.

- That's some piece of equipment.

- I'll unpack it.

- You need help?

- I'll handle it.

- Who spotted it?

- Stand off. It's an order.

- You pulling rank on us?

- Yeah! Get on the gear!

She'll hit this rock

like an A-bomb!

- Hey, yo-yos!

- Knock it off!

Share and share alike!

All right, come on!

We gotta shove fast!

- Easy does it, miss.

- Thanks.

What do you know? Marines.

I'm right at home.

Got me a couple hours.

What's to do around here?

Grass skirts, hulas?

That island stuff?

You picked the right island.

I'm in charge of the tours.

- Leaving when?

- Now.

- Sergeant, you twisted my arm.

- Get the gear.

Yes, sir, sarge.

- Oh, my luggage!

- Get it up here! Hurry!

- My record player!

- This all?

Yeah.

- You can see better back here.

- Thanks.

- Get the wheel.

- You heard him.

Both of you, on the double!

Griggs, hurry up with that mail.

Wait for the mail!

- My back!

- That's pretty!

- How about I sit up front?

- No, you're classified.

- Classified what?

- Top secret.

- Says who?

- Sgt. O'Hara.

- And Private Griggs.

- Sadie Thompson.

Hi, Sadie.

Mail call!

What's wrong with you?

Hurry it up!

Back her up!

Watch yourself.

You're not driving a tank.

Safe and sound, Sadie.

Where we at?

- Bill's place.

- Don't you have any doors around here?

Take her away!

- That was fast.

- The island's mostly restricted.

All these islands look alike.

Anything cold to drink?

- Go away. It's Sunday. Me no open.

- Sure, except for us.

Hi, Bill.

Something cold and tall.

Me no Bill, me Chung!

Bill long time dead.

Hurry, or you'll join him!

- Me no want trouble.

- Hey, Sadie!

- You want pineapple juice?

- Hey, no take. No take.

Anything, just so it's cold.

- It's hot as a hot water bottle.

- It'll ease up when it rains.

- It's all secure.

- Where's the truck?

- Down the street.

- Get it back to the base!

I just got here!

I ain't been introduced yet!

- Shove off.

- Where you going?

- Where do you think?

- Sadie's gear is in the truck, right?

- That's right.

- You heard the lady. Oblige her!
