South Sea Woman Page #6

The scent of jasmine floats

on the tropic breeze.

Why should Davey worry about the Marines

when he's got his baby to keep him warm?

What you're talking about

begins to sound like desertion.

- Desertion?

- Yeah. Intent to desert, the same thing.

Can I tell Wu Ching

where to sail this ship?

Which reminds me, I wanna talk to him.

- You got an angle on how to get us back?

- I got an angle, but that ain't it.

What's he up to?

Sergeant o'Hearn,

prepare yourself for a shock.

I'm the baby pie you spoke of,

remember?

The one who wants a home all her own?

And I make the loveliest fried chicken

and biscuits you ever tasted.

So what? Who's hungry?

In spite of all those nasty remarks

you made about housewives...

...I think I shall soon become one.

How?

Wu Ching is a ship captain, isn't he?

- He's gonna perform the ceremony?

- Why not?

Would you like to be the best man?

Okay, sister.

But don't be surprised if Davey turns out

to be a carbon copy of the old maestro.

Sure, he's gotta have women,

lots of them.

He's crazy about them,

but none of them last.

Because when that old bugle blows, baby,

there's only one thing he's gotta say:

"For long time, no come see."

You're disgusting.

I don't know what kind of a special breed

you think you are...

...breaking girls' hearts and then saying,

"for long time, no come see."

You leave Davey and me alone.

You stay out of our lives or it'll be

"for long time, no come see" for you.

Hey, wait a second.

Get riled up, you're just about

the cutest little job I ever saw.

You're horrible.

For 16 days and nights...

... Davey tried to get the idea across

to Wu Ching...

... that he wanted him

to read the wedding ceremony.

- I guess that's it, Gingersnap.

- Oh, Davey, we're married.

I can't believe it.

- Who is it?

- It's me, your buddy.

- What do you want?

- I got news for you.

Save it.

Some guys will never learn.

- You did that.

- I got news for you, I told you.

- But what is it?

- And it better be good.

You two are not married.

Wu Ching didn't read

the wedding ceremony.

It was the Chinese burial service.

- What?

- What?

The Chinese burial service.

Why else do you think they're wearing

those white outfits?

You can thank me for saving you

from a fate worst than death.

- Why, you!

- Don't get your guts in an uproar.

- It was a gag.

- Gag?

- Take it easy, baby.

Well, if that's all it was, sarge.

I'll show you firecrackers.

Oh, Davey, no.

Oh, Davey.

Look! Look, the ship's on fire.

Look! Look! The ship's on fire.

Quick! It's getting big.

The mast!

Davey and Sergeant o'Hearn...

...they chopped down the mast

and put the fire out.

Was that the extent
