my friend?

- How about "'S Wonderful?"

- It's wonderful.

["'S WONDERFUL" PLAYS

ON JUKEBO X]

[SINGING]

Wonderful

It's marvelous

You should care for me

It's awful nice

It's paradise

It's what I love to see

You've made my life so glamorous

You can't blame me

For feeling amorous

Oh, it's wonderful

It's marvelous

That you should care for me

My dears, it's four-leaf clover time

From now on

My heart's workin' overtime

Oh, it's wonderful

It's so marvelous

That you should care for me

It's wonderful, marvelous, glorious

It's glamorous

That you should care for me.

MAN:

Your attention, please.

All personnel for Flight 77,

report to Gate 3 immediately.

- Your attention, please.

- Seventy-seven is Rick's flight.

We didn't even get a chance

to say goodbye.

Let's talk to the colonel.

I'm sure he can fix it.

- Yeah.

- Fine thing.

First my piano player,

then my audience walks out.

You know, I feel like

a second lieutenant up here.

Things ain't bad enough.

Now I gotta airlift those same guys...

...that fouled up

the most beautiful day of my life.

For 2 cents, I'd go back there

and really tell them off.

Here's a nickel.

- Oh, I don't wanna make a profit.

MAN 1:
Come on, come on, let's go.

MAN 2:

Fireguard on Number 3.

MAN 1:

Start Number 3.

It happens every time

we start an engine.

Here.

Ready to taxi.

MAN 3:
The colonel

wants Corporal Rick Williams.

Only take a minute.

Williams.

Hey, Williams.

- Get moving, the colonel wants you.

- Oh, yes, sir.

Hey, that's them.

- They must wanna see me too, sir.

- Say, you made a fast recovery.

Girls work better on me

than Dramamine.

Yeah, well just lie down again, Rover,

nobody asked for you.

Oh, skipper.

I almost missed you. In another minute,

you'd have been gone.

Well, gee, is this plane

being held up for me?

Well, us, with a little help

from Colonel Callan.

I couldn't let you get away

without this.

- I know it'll bring you luck.

MAN 1:
Hey, what are you waiting for?

Stop stalling, Romeo, kiss her.

Come on, corporal,

you're holding up the war.

- Once for me, corporal.

MAN 2:
Kiss her.

What are you waiting for?

- You want her to show you how?

- I think I know what they wanna see.

MAN 3:
Hey.

MAN 4:
Hey, Rick.

Hey, Rick.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye. Write me.

Tower to 77.

Runway 2-1, right, cleared for takeoff.

Where's that one from?

CALLAN:

Same place the other one left for.

Sort of like Grand Central Station,

isn't it?

CALLAN:

In a way.

The planes go out

carrying troops to the war zone.

Then they come back as hospital ships,

bringing the wounded home.

You've just told

some of the boys goodbye.

- How about telling some hello?
