on account of it's a kind of help.

Well, in what respect

does it kind of help?

Well, you see, when anyone

kisses me too hard, it splits my lip.

And you could tell when

anyone kissed me too hard

on account of my lip would bleed.

So now I don't let anyone

kiss me - hard.

Well, we'll let that pass.

Where's he gone?

Shep went off to sharpen his skates.

Now, about your nose.

What about my nose?

It isn't straight.

It kind of turns up at the end.

Well, when I was a little girl,

I got bumped by a swing.

How'd you happen to get bumped?

I just walked through the gate.

I was only seven.

Oh, poor dear.

Didn't you see it?

I can't see very far.

Did it hurt?

It made me dizzy all day.

Well, I guess we can't

hold that against her.

We all make mistakes.

That's right. Michelangelo painted

Adam with a navel.

All the same,

he'd look funny the other way -

even in a painting.

Where's he gone?

He went off to shave a horse.

Have you got a husband or anything?

No husband.

- A mother?

Mother, yes. But we haven't met

in quite a long time.

Why not in a long time?

And that's how it all began.

Francis used to fly with us

in the 94th.

The best shot in the squadron.

Brought down twelve planes.

Used to call him

"Sudden Death".

He lost interest

after his teammate got killed.

He's lonesome is all.

I like him.

He carries a chiming watch

on account of

he's always falling asleep

in the daytime.

What kind of chimes?

Oh, Westminster, Canterbury,

and Whittington.

I'll take vanilla.

I think he's a washout.

Well, just because you're a big

bombardier and an All-American -

All-American what?

Halfback.

- Where?

Oh, Montana State or somewhere.

Idaho or Nebraska or the

Carlisle Indians or something.

Bronko Bill -

the Alabama Flash?

I think it's a forgery.

Say! What do you want me to do?

Tackle a horse?

Sure. Go ahead.

Tackle a horse.

All right, all right,

I'll tackle a horse.

Here comes one now.

Look out, horse!

Hey, Bill! Bill!

Come back here!

Oh, Bill!

Hey! What's the idea

runnin' down my friend like that?

Here!

Never mind. Look where you're going

in the future now.

You just watch out

where you're going!

Now listen, come on out here

you old fool. Whoa, whoa.

Nice horsie.
