:45:00
like one of the Smith Brothers
with a hot foot.

:45:02
I'll go up to my room
and do some homework.

:45:05
Hello.
:45:06
Uncle... I mean Tony.
:45:09
Lieutenant Willett,
this is Private William Smollett.

:45:12
How are you?
Corporal. Engineers, isn't it?

:45:14
- Yes, Lieutenant.
- I'm sorry.

:45:16
- You're related to the colonel?
- I'm his grandson.

:45:19
- But I don't know, sir...
- Think nothing of it.

:45:22
I cut my grandfather off
without a cent.

:45:25
Well, Jane, what's the program
for this afternoon?

:45:27
How about you and Brig
taking me out?

:45:29
William here... or do they call
you Bill? ...could make a fourth.

:45:33
That's nice of you, Lieutenant,
but I couldn't.

:45:36
Besides, if you'll forgive
my saying so, sir, you're an officer...

:45:39
I forgot all about that.
You're right.

:45:42
Let's see, Jane,
what could we do?

:45:43
Anything you say, Tony.
:45:46
We could have tea
in the garden.

:45:48
That's fine. We could
play some darts maybe.

:45:51
Thank you, sir, but I ought to
be getting back to the field.

:45:54
You've both been very nice.
:45:56
Next time you're in town.
Will you be off next Sunday?

:45:59
- How about it, Jane?
- That would be lovely.

:46:02
I'll look forward to it.
:46:04
Well, I'd better be going.
:46:07
- Good-bye, Miss Hilton.
- It's nice to know you.

:46:09
So long, and next war,
come into the Navy.

:46:11
Thanks. Thank you, sir. I will.
:46:14
Well, good-bye.
:46:16
That seems like
a very nice boy.

:46:18
- Yes, he is a nice boy, but...
- Now, Jane.

:46:22
You take the word
of your old Uncle Tony

:46:24
and be kind to that boy
the next time he comes here.

:46:26
- Well, he's nice enough, but...
- But what?

:46:29
Well, he's so young.
:46:31
Besides, he isn't
even an officer.

:46:34
Why, Jane, I'm surprised at you.
:46:35
Those are the boys
who do the fighting,

:46:37
and largely for their dreams
of girls like you.

:46:41
Far be it from me
to run down officers.

:46:44
You go right on advertising us.
Every little bit helps.

:46:47
- Tony, I wish...
- What do you wish, little Janie?

:46:50
I wish I were 27.
:46:55
Now, that's a coincidence.
So do I.

:46:58
Where's that Brig?
Do you suppose she ran out on us?
