- Hello again.

Teddy was telling me about you, Teddy Merrick.

I hope you gonna like it here.

I know I am.

You don't beat about the bush. Don't you?

I would look out if I were you Jack, I think you'll find you have a rival, for Susan's lovely hand.

Ha,ha..

Joe this is Jack Wales. Jack this is Joe sthg. from the terasuries.

Lampton, Joe Lampton.

You and Joe have a lot in common both being entrapped birdmen.

Oh, that.

What outfit?

Wellington's.

Hmm, sergeant observer ha?

Yes, how did you know?

Oh, I can tell.

Did you ever get beyond Wellington's?

No, as a matter of fact I was shut down early, spent most of the war in a prison camp.

Oh, is that so?

Must have been rough.

Well ... as a matter of fact...

Ha,ha come on Sue... 22:40 precisely. Operation Supper would begin.

Ha, ha what a stinker, don't know how you all stand it. Come on Sue.

Do come and have a drink with us first.

Well we'd love to but you know Papa Brown, he likes you on the dot. Some other time.

Good night all.

Good night sergeant.

You must tell me about your POW experiences but some other time.

I'll remember the flowers next time.

Good night. Sirrrr !

Freaking Officer.

Jack Wales was a POW too.

He escaped.

Are you ready darling?

(ENGINE STARTS)

(BUS ENGINE ROARS)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Hello, Sergeant.

Shoping for lingerie?

What size are you? 44?

Listen, do me a favour, will you? I know all about you now.

I know you were a squadron leader with a distinguished war record, the DSO

and all the rest of it.

But just do me a favour

the war is over, stop calling me sergant!

I'll try to remember.

But sergant you're selling me short,

didn't anyone told you about my DFC?

Ha, ha, ha !!!

(ORDERS GIVEN IN DOG RACE)

And he just stood there. Watching this one, gloating over it like a bloody watch dog.

All phony acts and putting on a squadron's leader act with me.

Even threw the DFC at me.

If we've done what ever it was he did we would have only got a DFM.

Just medals, no crosses for us.

Different brands of courage, don't you know.

Oh, there's Charlie S., I'll see what he's on.

Here, isn't that Susan's father's works?

Joe you're wasting your time.

These two familes, "The Browns" and "The Wales"s they are worth more brass

then the rest of Warnley rolls together.

Heyy, what you think about that one?

Hmm, not bad...but not grade one.

What you mean by that?

Time I filled you in on the Lampton report on love.

I 've got a full proof method for grading women.
