The Honeymoon Machine Page #3

We can't into the casino

in Navy uniform.

It's off limits.

Off limits and in civvies, too.

I'll be breaking

two regulations at once.

That's right.

It's kind of a package deal.

Now get in there and

get out of those whites

and that's an order,

lieutenant junior grade Gilliam.

You sure love

trouble, don't you?

Whenever there's a risk

involved,

you light up like

a beacon, you glow all over.

Some people function

better when things get hot.

That was fine in Korea;

That's what got

you all those medals.

Only what's it going

to get you in peacetime?

Money.

You know, there was once a great

philosopher named Nietzsche

who said, "live dangerously."

It's the only time

you live at all."

But it's my life you're

living dangerously.

Fergie, do I have to?

Yep.

What's that smell?

My civvies.

I don't mean your civvies;

I mean, what's that smell?

That's my civvies, too.

Bobby Jo packed them

for me back home.

She's partial to the moth balls.

No, she's not partial to

it... she's in love with it.

Well, maybe I shouldn't wear it?

You know, a smell like

this in that casino.

They'll love you in the casino.

There won't be a moth

around for 40 miles.

Jas, how long before we get

those sample numbers?

520 spins of the wheel.

Say, 50 seconds a spin...

7 hours, 13 minutes

and 12 seconds.

Are you going to stand

at that table for 7 hours.

Suppose he has to go

to the men's room?

Don't be silly.

He's a scientist.

Anyway, you're going

to be there to take over.

Well, there's one thing

I got to do first.

I promised Bobby Jo

if I ever got to venice,

I'll buy her some

venetian glass.

Well, wait until

we get to Japan.

The best venetian glass

comes from Yokohama.

Now look, Fergie,

this is for my wife.

And when a man

promises his wife...

What's the use?

I know his views about marriage.

He thinks it's for the birds.

Now how could

I possibly think that?

You ever know any birds that

were honest-to-goodness married?

I mean, they shack up

a little now and then but...

I'm sorry.

I must have the wrong room.

Are you sure?

Well, we're in

the suite just below

and I must have stepped

off on the wrong floor.

Not as far as I'm concerned.

Hi-Dee.

My name's Fergie Howard.

How do you do?

Come in.

- Sit down.

- No.

No thanks.

Are you Navy men?

Are you referring to the united

states Navy, ma'am?

Well, there's just something

about the way

you look and stand.

I thought may be one of us.

One of whom?

You mean, you're in the Navy?

Call me Navy brat,

courtesy of my father.

It always sounds so dopey to say

your father's an admiral.

An admiral?

An admiral?

An admiral.

Admiral Fitch.

So you're admiral
