against invading German and Italian forces.

Hey boss, 1A is back.

- I can't hear you. Turn that thing off.

- Heavy fighting is reported in the Vardar Valley...

What's doing, Joe?

How come you're not in uniform?

Got a couple of weeks before I

go to camp.

Ain't got any place to flop.

- Ok if I stay on the boat?

- Yeah, why not.

Thanks. How you coming with the

bank roll?

I got a crack at the biggest bank

roll in New York.

- If it works.

- What's holding it up?

An iceberg, but I'll melt her down.

- Ok if I get something to eat?

- Sure. Go down the galley, see what they got.

Thanks, Joe.

Thanks a lot!

Boss, when you clean out a guy like Zepp,

you hadn't outta keep him around.

- Is that any way to treat a soldier?

- But I'm telling you chief.

Crunk... never give a sucker an even break

and always keep an eye on a pal.

Remember that!

Hey where can I get a car? I gotta

put on the dog for a few days.

I know a fella in town's got a sedan.

Yeah, well get it and meet me on

the dock in half an hour.

Ok chief.

U.S. ARMY RECRUITING STATION

So long, Crunk.

Joe!

We'll just have to sell some more

tickets darling.

- Wish we knew how.

- Even the whole lot wouldn't be half enough.

- Yes?

- Miss Bryant, there's a recruiter here in the office.

- I don't know what to do about it.

- Well hang on to her, we can use anybody.

But Miss Bryant it's rather a special case.

Well send her in before she

changes her mind.

You see her dear, I've got a

hundred things to do.

She has scads of money and will buy a

box of tickets.

I'm her.

I've been thinking over what you said

yesterday.

And I was wondering why you couldn't

use me in this set up.

You mean, you want to enlist in

this organization?

Time for every man to do his bit.

- If it wasn't for this weak heart I'd...

- Arteries!

Arteries... same thing. How about it?

What about all this gambling at

the ball business?

Oh I forgot it. Too bad, great idea.

Yep, good for the cause.

Well let it go.

Well as personnel officer I have no

right to refuse any enlistment.

However, I think I should warn you...

We've had a few men before, but they all

asked to be transfer to more active branches.

So many women around get on

their nerves.

- That won't bother me.

- I might have known.

Perhaps you better read this first. We

expect a lot of our workers.

Thank you. Do you mind if I

sit down please, maam?

Oh of course not.

How do you do. I gather from what's

going on, you want to enlist.

- Yes maam.

- You're sure you know what you're doing?

I'd do anything to help the cause.

I think that's wonderful. Don't you Dorothy?

We do need a man in this office. You
