Starlift Page #4

DORIS:
On the way out.

Thanks, captain.

Here I am in a convertible

with three beautiful babes.

I should do what any red-blooded

American boy would do in this spot.

What's that?

Go over the hill.

RICK:
We'll only be a minute.

- It's all right, don't hurry.

DORIS:
Well, at least we know

all about Youngstown.

- I had to talk about something.

- I've gotta give you credit, Nell.

For a gal who was roped into something,

you certainly carried the ball.

If I took his mind off going to war

even for a minute, I'm glad I came.

You really fixed things up this time.

Yeah, that's gratitude.

Movie stars out there to wave us

goodbye and you're beefing.

Yeah, but they think

we're flying off to war.

And so we are.

We're just not going all the way.

How am I gonna tell Nell

I'll be back in two days?

That all we do is fly back and forth

between here and Honolulu.

We might just as well be hostesses

for TWA.

Listen, buster, every quale in the world

is looking for a pet hero to adopt.

If you tell her,

you'll only make her unhappy.

So don't tell her.

Who knows?

You might even marry her.

Then she could send us an allotment.

Hey, buster,

you forgot your swimming trunks.

Well, this is it, girls.

They won't let you go any farther

but you can watch from over there.

MAN [O VER SPEAKERS]:

Your attention, please.

Alerting Military Air Transport

Flight 77.

All personnel,

report to passenger terminal...

... and stand by for call.

I guess that's our load.

Forty-eight hours from now...

...they'll be at the front.

Attention, transport control.

Passengers for Flight 30

now proceeding to aircraft.

In a picture once, I played a scene

where I told a soldier goodbye.

Now that it's real...

...I don't quite know what to say.

Well, I'll be back.

I'm sure you will.

Here's something I want you to wear

for good luck.

My mother gave it to my father

during the First World War.

I can't get it off.

Hurry it up, will you, Rick?

This is no time to twist the girl's arm.

Don't move.

I wanna remember you

just as you are now.

It's a picture I'll carry with me

wherever I go...

...and as long as I'm away.

Stop being corny, Mike.

You can kiss us goodbye.

- I can?

- Yeah.

One at a time or both together?

Oh, brother, this is...

MAN 1:
Are you Ruth Roman?

- Yeah, Ruth Roman, we're...

MAN 2:
Aren't you Doris Day?

MIKE:
Take it easy.

MAN 3:
Can I have your autograph?

MIKE:
Hey.

All right, come on, break it up,

will you?

All right. Come on.

Back to your barracks, then.

Attention. Get... Fellas.

Hey.

- Sergeant Nolan?

- Yes, sir.

- Your flight is making up.

- Yes. In a minute, sir.

You're late already. Get going.
