:30:00
I'd been on patrol three months.
:30:03
And this was
my first night ashore.
:30:04
Now, you guys know how it is.
:30:07
There she was in a nice, clean, crisp,
lacy blouse.
:30:12
And she looked
just like she had a bath.
:30:15
So she looked like she had a bath.
:30:18
She even smelled like geranium.
:30:20
So she even smelled like geraniums.
Then what?
:30:23
Here we are, hove to,
with her smelling like geraniums...
:30:27
...and me with three months' pay
in my whites.
:30:29
- I'll never forget it!
- Never forget what, Wolf?
:30:32
Some dames have lips that
are curved all right.
:30:35
But when you kiss them, you find they
have lips as hard as a warhead?
:30:39
Well, you could tell hers
was as soft as silk.
:30:44
Just enough lipstick. Just right.
:30:48
Well, what did you do about it?
:30:51
I was so busy drinking her in
out of my starboard lamps...
:30:55
... that I don 't see this Market Street
commando hove to alongside her.
:30:59
I'm trying to get a recognition signal
out of her...
:31:02
... when this sailor busts right in
and says:
:31:04
"Would you like one
of those lacy things?"
:31:07
She says, "Sure."
And they go in and buy one.
:31:09
- Well, what did you do?
- Me? I'm murdered!
:31:13
There I am, anchored,
dead in the water...
:31:17
... looking in the window.
She's picking out one.
:31:20
And this Market Street commando
is giving me the gloat!
:31:23
Am I burnt. I'm dying!
:31:25
My first night in. There she'd been,
standing next to me.
:31:29
- Smelling like geraniums.
- Okay, we been through that.
:31:32
This Market Street commando peels
off some lettuce and pays.
:31:35
And she's smiling
as sweet as a dream.
:31:38
And there I am, outside the window,
bulkheads busted in.
:31:42
Next thing I know,
she gives this guy a kiss.
:31:45
And the next thing I know,
she's making for my anchorage...
:31:48
... with his stuff under her arm,
and she's saying to me:
:31:51
"Going my way, submariner?"
:31:53
Then what happened, Wolf?
:31:56
She was built for speed,
but like I said, kid...
:31:59
...kind of compact too, like a submarine.
