Well, come on, honey. Hurry up.

Well, hello! Come here, you!

-Bless your heart!

Certainly good to see you.

Hi, sir. Nice to see you.

l was getting off the plane.

l said, ``There`s General Webster.

``But who is that good-looking woman?``

Listen, tell me about Eileen. How is she?

She finds Tulsa terribly dull

without you, Lloyd.

Well, you know,

l wish she could have come along.

-You couldn`t expect us to bring her here.

-l know that--

You`ll stay at the hotel with us at first.

Later, you`ll be stationed at the field.

l see.

Come on, let`s go. You get in first.

-No, you go ahead.

-You get in.

-Go on. Get in!

Ladies first. What`s the matter with you?

Hi, Lloyd.

You devil.

Come here.

l`m glad to see you, darling.

l forgot what an ugly girl you got here.

Lloyd, she`s not ugly. She`s a beautiful girl.

What are you saying? She`s the ugliest girl

l ever saw. Come here, you.

And that dress, l think it`s terrible.

lt just goes in and out....

-That`s awful.

-lt`s meant to go in and out.

l go in and out.

Well, we`ll talk about that later.

Send Maj. Gruver`s luggage

up to his room, will you?

That`s beautiful, isn`t it?

-Are there any rules against it?

-There are no rules against it.

-lt`s understood--

-l thought the club would be honored!

Please, Mike, let`s go.

-What`s she doing here?

-Mother!

lsn`t she with that young officer?

You know, Kobe`s a recreation center.

That`s right, dear.

lt degrades the uniform.

lt`s out-and-out fraternization.

-Mother, she`s beautiful.

-All the more reason. Mark?

-Col. Crawford?

-Yes, sir?

-Let`s get out of this clip joint.

-Just a minute, Capt. Bailey.

What`s the trouble?

l didn`t mean to bother you

with this, General.

But Capt. Bailey here

is wanting to take her into the club.

General Webster, sir.

This young lady

is one of Japan`s most famous dancers.

She`s no ordinary....

Yes, l understand.

Even so, don`t you realize

this club is only for American personnel?

Now...

we`ve been pretty easy

about fraternization in this area...

even though there are

very strict orders against it.

But when an officer

who should be an example....

Am l to understand, sir...

that you personally refuse to allow me

to take this young lady into the club?

l understand how you feel, Captain,

and l`m very embarrassed.

-But l`m sorry.

-Thank you.

Thank you, sir!

Don`t you know that there`s such a thing

as insolence through manner?

Thank you, sir.

Well, come on in, boys.

Eileen has to change.

-Eileen`s taking you to the kabuki tonight.
