:09:01
It's in my data. I am Miss Frost,
Congresswoman from Iowa, 9th district.

:09:05
Delightful of Congress to send us
a lady representative for a change.

:09:08
Delightful.
:09:09
May I suggest here and now that
we dispense with all the soft soap.

:09:13
As committee chairman,
permit me to bring you greetings

:09:16
from the people
of the United States of America.

:09:19
This genial reception augurs well
for the success of our mission.

:09:24
I sincerely hope so. And now let us proceed
to a luncheon we have prepared for you.

:09:29
A very simple luncheon. Powdered egg
omelette, probably, and a little Spam.

:09:40
- Can I carry that for you?
- No, thank you.

:09:43
I undertook to deliver it in person
to a Captain John Pringle,

:09:46
stationed somewhere in Berlin, G2 Section.
:09:49
- Could you tell me how to go about it?
- I could try.

:09:52
Through army channels?
All I have is five days.

:09:55
Captain Pringle!
:09:58
Captain Pringle!
:10:03
Captain Pringle reporting, sir.
:10:05
Congresswoman Frost,
this is Captain Pringle.

:10:08
Thank you. This is for you,
Captain Pringle. Happy birthday.

:10:11
Or happy birthday yesterday.
I thought I could deliver it on time

:10:15
but we were held up
in Newfoundland for 16 hours - fog.

:10:18
- You brought this from America?
- Murdoch, Iowa.

:10:21
Well, how is good old Iowa?
:10:24
62°% Republican, thank you.
:10:26
I was entrusted with this by a constituent,
or rather, his daughter.

:10:30
I hope it's still in one piece. Open it.
:10:33
Be glad.
:10:43
Well, what do you know? Little Dusty.
:10:48
It's a beauty.
:10:50
I didn't know it was so personal.
:10:52
Her name is really Pauline Rose
but we call her Dusty. Some joke.

:10:57
- How long since you've seen her?
- Dusty? Four years.
