:27:01
Fifty new cadets are
assigned to your squadron.
:27:03
- Who assigned them?
- I don't know, sir. I didn't.
:27:06
Fifty? Why do they keep
shoving them at me?
:27:08
What do they think I do? Wave a magic
wand and make fliers out of them?
:27:13
Joe's pretty irritable lately.
:27:15
You may have noticed it. Joe's
Schneider chart's been missing.
:27:19
Yeah, I did.
:27:21
I didn't want it known that he's been
on the pilot fatigue curve lately.
:27:25
Dropped to two this morning.
He's almost reached the chronic line.
:27:30
That means we've got to get another
man for our high-altitude work.
:27:34
That might be the worst possible move.
He still has a fair chance for recovery.
:27:38
It will be tough on him
after all the work he's done.
:27:40
Is he worried about something else?
:27:42
No, but I think Griffin's death
hit him pretty hard.
:27:45
Besides, he's tense, nervous as a cat,
works all the time.
:27:47
- Doesn't know how to play.
- You could help him with that.
:27:50
Me? I doubt that.
:27:53
Wait a minute.
:27:55
I've got a clue.
:27:57
- Maybe I can, at that.
- Good.
:27:59
Hey, Lucky.
:28:01
- I've got a job for you.
- Aye, aye, sir.
:28:05
Hey, Lucky, lower your boom.
:28:06
Tugboat Annie's back again
with a full head of steam.
:28:10
Ain't a guy got no privacy
in this man's Navy?
:28:29
You can't see him, Mrs. James.
He's gotten lower.
:28:31
He couldn't get any lower than he was.
Where is the snake?
:28:34
- In an oxygen tent with four nurses.
- That sounds like him.
:28:36
I bet they're all blonds.
Are they? Are they all blonds?
:28:39
No, male nurses. We're trying
to pull him through the crisis.
:28:42
Better get him pulled by next payday,
or I'm going to the admiral.
:28:46
Mrs. James?
:28:48
I...
:28:50
I was just wondering if I couldn't
sort of help you with the admiral?
:28:54
You know him?
:28:55
Truthfully, no. But he and a friend
of mine are very good pals.
:28:58
I thought we could discuss it
somewhere sometime.
