All language subtitles for 8 Maisie goes to Reno

Thank you.

Daisy, what's new?

Come on, let's go. Didn't you hear the
whistle?

Okay, you don't have to jump down my
throat.

There's still a war going on, you know.
I've heard some rumors.

Next, next.

Next.

Listen, Revere.

That's all I'm going to take from you.
I'll dry up.

Lead man, lead man.

Oh, pipe down, honey. I'm sorry. I'll
behave. Come on, let's go.

What's the matter now?

I won't work with her anymore.

Oh, you won't? Well, you can just get me
a new girl, too.

And don't you wink at me.

You wink at me?

Well, I can't help it. I'm nervous.

Gee,

Doc.

I don't know what ails me, and that's
the gospel truth.

Between you and I, I think I'm going
fast.

Can't sleep?

Bright -eyed twitches? Mm -hmm.

Easily upset?

Yeah, you can say that again.

I might as well be an absentee, heaven
forbid, as the way I am.

How long have you been working here,
Miss Revere?

Uh, 16 months.

Hmm, no time off?

I'm off?

What do you think I am, a dilly -tonny?

No, no, no, no, no. Oh.

You'll have to excuse me, Doc. I'm just
not myself.

What do you do with your leisure time?

Plenty of rest?

Any sports?

Uh, well, uh...

We have this nursery, see, in our block
for the day shift's kids, and I work

there mornings.

I see.

Leave here at midnight, go to work at
the nursery at, uh... 5 .30 a .m.

Uh -huh.

How long have you been suffering with
this nictitating spasm?

Well, it's... The what?

This tick. This involuntary glad -eye
you've been giving everyone.

Oh.

For the last six weeks.

And talk about embarrassing, say.

I can well imagine.

Here's a little prescription that'll fix
you up.

Well, thanks, Doc. I don't like being a
crab.

Oh, gee.

I don't know. Do you think I should with
so much to do?

Even soldiers have to have furloughs.

Well, Maisie, what I'm really trying to
say is we all want you to know you have

our very best wishes for a happy
vacation and a good rest.

Thank you.

And to you especially, Elaine.

I call it more than swell of you after
what you've been taking from me the last

couple of months.

Oh, skip it. I didn't know your nerves
were all shot to pieces.

Yeah.

Gee.

Two weeks with pay.

It's like a dream.

Maisie. Oh, Tommy.

How are you, Tommy? Where did he come
from? Hey, quiet, girls.

Mr. Cutter happens to have a wife and
four kids.

Hi. As of last reports.

Jeepers. Come here. I want to talk to
you privately.

Maisie, it's good to see you.

What have you been up to?

Riveting. You're kidding.

That I am not.

Essential, that's me.

I'm just starting a two -week vacation
on account of my frazzling nerves.

Gee, Tommy, hearing your aggregation
makes me wish I was back working for

Make believe I don't. You could do more
with a song than any singer I ever had.

Ah, what you doing?

Oh, me and the gals opening Reno at the
El Presidente Hotel for two weeks. No

kidding. A class joined at last, huh?

Say, you got a vacation?

Why don't you spend it with us?

Oh, no.

I'm strictly supposed to rest.

Well, that's what I mean.

You sing a couple of numbers at night
and at daytime you sit around in the sun

picking up vitamins for nothing.

Yeah, and believe me, that's all I want
to pick up the way I feel.

What do you say? It'll make a new woman
of you if you can get there.

Well, uh, Mr. Hitch.

Well, you know how travel is today.

We had to book our train tickets weeks
in advance.

But if you could grab a bus or
something... Well, are you sure that's

is sing a couple of numbers at night and
the rest is free?

Sure. All you gotta do is get there.

Well, don't worry. I'll get there.

I'll grab me a bus, or if worse comes to
worse, roller skate.

Anna, girl, I'll see you later. Roger.

Roger.

San Jose, San Francisco.

Stage number 12 loading at gate 3 for
immediate departure.

Hey, take it easy.

Too bad about you. There's a war on.

Yes, we have to rehearse for it here.

I'm two days late already. We're all
sold out, soldier. Look, my husband is

expecting me at Camp Roberts.

Yes? Ticket to Reno, please. Reno? Yes.

What are you doing in six weeks, Kitty?

What do you care?

You'll be in the break.

When do you want to go to Reno? Today.
We're all sold out for three weeks.

Oh, look, mister, I've got to get to
Reno tomorrow.

Nothing for three weeks, madam. Oh, but
I... I want to turn in this ticket.

Cashier's window.

I'll stand all the way to Reno.

Deary. Come here.

Don't go.

Make it up with him. Even a bad hubby's
better than no hubby at all.

Well, thanks for your interest in my
case, madam, but I've... I was all set

go this afternoon, but we made it up.

Lady, tell it to Mr.

Anthony, will you? I've... You're
cashing in a ticket to Reno? Indeed I

dearie. I put my pride in my pocket. I
apologize.

Now, why don't you go along home and
say, Daddy, I'm sorry.

Well, look, lady, I'm not married. I've
got a job waiting for me in Reno, so

sell me that ticket, will you, huh?

All right, dear. Maybe while you're
there, you'll catch a hubby. There's

men in Reno.

Yeah, a regular hubby -lubby, huh? How
much do I owe you?

870 plus tax, 957. Okay, here, keep the
change, and thanks a million. Thank you.

Hey, Prince Charming, when does the Reno
bus pull out?

4 .30.

Roger.

Hi,

soldier. Thinking you and me or think
you'd like to?

Oh, I'm not trying to flirt with you.

Oh. Well, a girl can't bet a thousand
all the time. I want to ask your advice.

You can help me.

Well, look, Sergeant, my bus pulls out
in a couple of minutes. Oh, this will

be decided one way or the other by the
time the bus leaves.

Hey.

You AWOL?

What? Oh, no, no.

Oh. Well, then go ahead and tell me.
Nope.

Uh, not here. Come on.

Attention.

All military police report to Lieutenant
Brown.

Office.

All military police, report to
Lieutenant Brown.

Office.

Will you have a Coke? Two Cokes.

Look, here it is.

A friend of mine, not much dull, but
smart and ambitious.

He went to college, worked his way
through.

Hashlinger, sock salesman. He met a girl
up in Stanford.

Freshman when he was a senior.

Stanford, 1941.

I knew your face was familiar.

You mean we've met?

Only on goal lines, mister. I'm a
football fan.

Oh. You were always tops at running
interference so the other guy could

And you got the broken ribs and he got
the press notices.

Well, let's skip the football and get
back to cases.

Okay. And let's skip that friend of mine
routine, huh?

The guy you're talking about is you?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, I met a girl.

Very beautiful.

Very sweet.

And very, very rich.

Oh, oh.

But she dressed like all the others.
Never put on any lugs.

She didn't want anybody to know that she
had... No, she had a million in the

bank.

She thought she was getting away with
it, too.

We fell in love. I finished school.

And you got married.

Yeah, very quietly out here.

No kids?

No.

The day after Pearl Harbor, I enlisted.

Sure, I was married, but she had plenty.

More than plenty, if you'd ask me.

My enlisting and leaving her was a first
shock.

And then finding out I knew about the
trust fund all along.

Well, you didn't marry her for that.

Then out of the blue one day she said
something about a divorce.

Oh, gee.

Well, if you really loved each other,
couldn't you have ironed it out?

Well, usually I'm pretty smart.

But not then.

I said, if that's the way you feel about
it, go ahead.

And she went ahead?

Yeah.

The next day I woke up, I began to
realize what I'd lost.

By then, she'd packed up and left.

Well, you must have wrote her.

Of course I wrote her and phoned and
wired.

When she didn't answer at first, that
didn't bother me. If she's stubborn,

miss me.

As much as you missed her.

Yeah.

But that's been almost six weeks now.

Yesterday, I found out why she's so dead
set against me.

Somebody's been telling her a lot of
things that aren't true.

I've got to tell her they're not.

Can you get a furlough? I've got it.
Fifteen days.

Well, then what are you waiting for?

Wherever she is, get yourself there,
quick.

That's what I hoped you'd say.

That's why I brought you in here.

To tell you to do what you're all set to
do, anyhow. Uh -huh. To tell me that.

And to do one thing more.

What's that?

When I was playing football, we had a
word we used when a guy got in a tight

spot. It was skiddly rough gadoo.

Skiddly -ruff -ka -doo.

Really?

It means there's a man in the way. Block
him out. Help the fellow with the ball.

Well, look, mister, I'm not wearing
shoulder pads. What's that got to do

me? Oh, everything.

I'm saying it to you now. Skiddly -ruff
-ka -doo.

And what am I supposed to do?

Give me your ticket to Reno.

Oh.

Congratulations, Sergeant.

That was pretty smooth.

Not smooth.

Desperate. They're sold out for three
weeks. By that time, she'll have her

decree and I'll be out of the country.

I've got to have a ticket. I got a job
at the El Presidente Hotel in Reno. I'll

pay you whatever it's worth.

I don't know how or when, but I will.

Well, okay.

Kind of wish you hadn't tricked me into
it, but here you are.

You're swell.

Well, thanks again.

And you're really swell.

Hey, wait up.

That'll be $9 .57, soldier.

Oh, I forgot.

There's $9 .50.

That's all the change I've got. Oh,
that's all right. Skip it. I'll go to

bus with you.

Oh, swell.

You give me your name and address and
I'll send you the rest of it.

That's on the level about paying your
back. Ah, that's okay.

But you might send me a card and let me
know how you're getting along.

All right, let's go.

Stage number eight for Bakersfield,
Fresno, Burson, Modesto, Carson City,

Reno.

Loading gate for immediate departure.

Uh, what's your name and address now?

It's Maisie Revere, 82 Heliotrope
Terrace, Burbank.

Let me see your pass, Sergeant. Huh? Oh,
oh.

Report back to camp immediately,
Sergeant.

Huh? Oh, but that's a 15 -day pass.

My CO signed it. I've got 15 days. No
more. Your outfit's been alerted to

transfer to a new post. All leaves
canceled.

But this is an emergency.

Sorry, Sergeant. On your way.

Oh, gee, that's a shame.

All aboard.

Oh, well, here's your ticket.

And I'll give her this, will you? Well,
wait a minute. I... I wrote it just in

case I couldn't get there.

But don't mail it, understand?

Please don't mail it.

Give it to her and make her read it and
tell her how I feel. Yeah, but I can't

do that. I don't know her. It'll be
rough to do.

Here's your money.

Oh, thanks.

And be sure and give it to her in
person. Don't mail it, please.

Please sit down, lady.

There's a guy with an evil eye and a
great big black mustache.

He played his part to steal my heart,
but instead he stole my cash.

I was young and I sure was sung, but I
ain't no child no more.

And now I'm bent on finding that gent
for to even up

the score.

Panhandle Pete, Panhandle Pete, better
hit the trail.

All the gold that you can hold ain't no
good in jail.

I was spoiled because his hair was oiled
and his talk was just

as slick.

He swore that he was stuck on me, but
the critter didn't stick.

Better make a break.

that says don't shoot a snake.

Grandpa lay very sick one day and Pete
gave him some

scotch. The fever cleared then
disappeared right along with Grandpa's

Oh,

what a silly crime because where you are
going

to are you... I have lots of time.

Money's gone in the mortgage, John. My
ranch is coming due. George.

Remember, Pete, next time we meet. Take
over. I got business.

That it's either me or you.

Oh,

Kathy, Kathy.

My life you have wrecked.

And if yours has been injured. I'm sure
that someone will soon collect...

I'd

like you to meet the late Mr.

Pete, who's unable...

To breathe today He might have grown old

But now he's out cold

That little kid?

Listen, honey, these days you don't even
throw the little ones back.

Where are you going?

Oh, I've got to try to locate this party
I was telling you about. I want to get

this off my hand. Well, we're going to
eat in a minute.

Roger. Here, with mayonnaise.

Be seated.

Take a card.

Take a walk.

Thanks, I will.

William Fullerton's stopping here.

Mrs. Fullerton was a guest here. She's
checked out.

Well, could you tell me where she is?
I've got to see her.

I'm not at liberty to give out that
information.

If you care to write a note, we'll
forward it to her.

Well, this is something personal.

I'm sorry.

But if you could... I'm sorry.

Take a card.

Look out of hand. I'm busy.

Take a card.

We're back.

You a friend of Gloria Fullerton's? You
a talent scout for the quiz kids?

Five of spades.

Hey, that's good.

Why do you want to see Gloria Fullerton?

Why do you want to know?

Because I like your voice and you gave
me a steam -heated wink.

Well, it so happens that is no wink.
It's a nicotine -ing spat. On you it

like a wink.

I figured I could use knowing where to
locate Mrs. Fullerton as a way to get

acquainted with you.

Oh.

Well, I have to deliver this letter from
her ex -husband to Bean.

Maybe. Give it to me.

Uh -uh.

I said I'd deliver it personal.

You're the wrong type for a mailman.

Why monkey in other people's business?
It don't get you in trouble.

Well, you ought to know.

Give it to me. I'll address it, put it
in a box, and then I'll buy you a drink.

I don't drink.

Where is she?

Renner Ranch, about ten miles out. Jones
Ranch.

Well, could you tell me the phone
number?

No phone.

No phone.

Jones Ranch, huh?

Well, I'll be back to the midnight show,
and if you make that drink a root beer,

you're on.

You planning to walk?

Planning to grab me a cab.

No cabs.

We go in my car.

Using what for gas?

I've been saving my coupons for an
important trip. Oh.

And this shapes up as being important.

Important. Is that the Reno word for
impertinence?

Well, I guess it is important at that. A
couple of lives are liable to be

affected. That's what I figured.

Suppose you change and I'll meet you
outside.

Hello, Flip. Hello, darling.

Flip.

Flip.

They call you that on account you
flipped the card?

Name's Philip Francis Hanahan.

Oh. Oh, why Flip?

Say Philip fast.

Philip. Faster.

Philip. Faster.

Flip. You got it.

Some ranch.

I'll bet even the cows have red polish
on their toenails.

Look, I'll only be long enough to
convince this character she shouldn't

this soldier.

Why don't you just use that to hold up
your powder?

Meaning what, precisely?

Meaning keep it out of other people's
business.

I'll only be a minute.

Yes? I'd like to see Mrs. Fullerton,
please. Mrs. Fullerton's not in. Would

like to leave a message?

Well, I've got this letter here. I'll
see that Mrs. Fullerton gets it.

Thanks, all the same, but I said I'd
give it to her myself.

Is the letter from Sergeant Fullerton?

Well, I can't give it to any
intermediate, so if she's out, I'll...

Mrs. Fullerton will see you.

Say, she got back awful quick.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't disturb her so
late, but... This way. Look, I don't

who you are, but I'd sooner see her
alone.

Certainly. Right in here.

Thanks.

Good evening.

I understand you have a letter for me.

Well, are you Mrs. Fullerton?

Yes. Oh.

Oh. I had kind of a different type
picked out for you. Not knowing you, of

course, just hearing your husband... I
mean, the sergeant speak about you. Do

sit down.

Oh, thanks.

Have you known Bill Long?

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't
know him at all outside of talking to

in this bus station.

Oh. Let me give you some coffee.

Oh, thanks. I can't stay long.

How about a cordial?

Sure, if you got some made.

A green mint?

Sure, any color.

So, uh, you met Bill in a bus station,
and he gave you a letter for me. Well,

yes.

He meant to come personally, but at the
last minute, um, this M .P. told him he

was being transferred, and, well, um, he
asked me to put this into your hands,

which I guess I'd better do without
further ado. Thank you, Miss, uh, oh,

me, I didn't introduce myself.

My name's Maisie Revere. Thank you very
much, Miss Revere.

Do me a favor and read it now, will you?

I'd like to be able to tell him I knew
for sure you read it.

Very well.

All right, Miss Revere, you can tell
Bill I read his letter.

And it doesn't change your mind in any
way, shape, or form?

I'm afraid not.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I know this is none of my business, Mrs.
Fullerton.

Just tonight, an acquaintance was
bawling me out for meddling in things,

speak. But, gee, he sure struck me as a
fellow who was carrying the torch, if I

ever seen one.

Bill is very appealing.

I believed he loved me once. I believed
it enough to marry him.

Finding out I was wrong was just the
worst thing that ever happened.

Well, you mean him knowing all along you
had all this money?

Well, gee, Mrs. Fullerton, people can
fall in love with a rich girl

of her money.

Not Bill, I'm afraid.

Even in this letter he asked me for
money.

Money?

In that letter there?

Oh, how would you like that?

I'm sorry, Mrs. Fullerton. Please pardon
me for butting in.

I know you brought me this letter from
the kindest motive.

Thank you very much, Miss Revere. Oh,
skip it. I was way out of line.

Well, good night, Mrs. Fullerton.

Best of luck.

Thanks.

Katie's out. I'd better see what she
wants.

Come in, Katie.

It's not Katie, Mrs. Fullerton. I let
her and Sam drive into town after

Is there something I can get you? No,
thanks, Miss Ashburn.

I was going to ask her to warm some milk
for me.

These darn sleeping pills seem to work a
little bit better if I take them in

milk. But I'll get it myself.

You just stay in bed and I'll bring it
to you right away.

Still not sleeping?

No.

I keep wishing things were the way I
used to think they were.

There's no sense in it, I know, but I
can't seem to help it.

How'd you like that soldier turning out
to be a four -star general heel?

What did Papa tell you about your nose?

Well, you kind of inferred you liked it.

Out of other people's business.

Okay. Does that wind up your career as a
repairer of broken homes?

For the nonce.

Good, then maybe the two of us can get
some laps while you're here.

Dealing blackjack doesn't take up all my
time.

Say, what about that, anyway?

What? You doing that kind of work.

Now, with me, it's strictly a vacation
and doctor's orders at that, but a big

husky guy like you... Uh -uh.

Oh.

Sorry.

Oh, gee, will you look? Mrs.

Fullerton's matchbox.

Turn around, will you, Flip, so I can
take it back to her. You can leave it at

the hotel desk. She comes in every day.

With that swell layout, she don't cook
home?

She has to let the managers see her once
a day to prove she hasn't left the

state. Well, don't tell me Mrs. Tinplate
should run out in a hotel, Bill.

No, not exactly.

You see, the hotel manager is a
residential witness for her divorce.

Oh.

Why didn't you tell me she came in at
the hotel every day?

I wanted to drive you out and back.

Any objections?

No.

Uh -oh.

What's the matter?

You think I'm out of gas.

You can just start it up, Bub. The
answer's no.

Maisie, I'm the level. I'm out of gas.
And I'm out of the car.

But look at the gauge.

Never mind the gauge. I'm walking. It's
a good three miles.

Well, I'm glad something's good around
here.

Well, you can't walk.

For the practice I've had?

Huh.

Take a car.

Miss Revere speaking.

Who? Fullerton.

Sergeant Fullerton?

I've been transferred to Camp Roberts.

I gave you a letter, remember?

Oh, Sergeant Fullerton.

Well, how's your personal war chest
doing?

I don't get you.

But never mind about that. Did you give
Gloria the letter?

Yeah, she got the letter okay.

She didn't say much.

Well, how does she look?

Well, she looks pretty sad, as who can
blame her, married to cash on the line

Fullerton.

And what kind of double talk is that?

Double cross talk.

It's sure unsmart of you, Sergeant, let
alone disgusting.

Maybe you'd get some of the money if you
didn't let your itchy palm show so

plain. I'm hanging up, Sergeant. I do
not like you.

Hello?

Hello?

Listen, Pelham, never worry about me. We
want this letter to give to Gloria in

the morning. Tomorrow morning.

Never fear.

That may be a little bit woozy, but I
can always write.

Backhand, forehand, vertigo. Don't
review your career. Just write this now.

Bill Fullerton's hands.

Sense. Know it by heart.

Never forget her handwriting.

You start it.

Dearest Gloria, once again, darling, I
beg you not to go through with the

divorce.

Divorce. With a little curl of the ear.

Cute. Never mind the comments. What's
next, Roger?

Paragraph. Gloria, whatever you may
think of me now...

Now... After all, I am your husband.

Husband. And you owe me something.

Something. It's...

Impossible to live on my army pay.

You ride very well, Maisie.

Well, thanks.

You mean for a riveter.

Is this it?

Yep.

Can you get off?

Well, I got on.

Maybe I'd better help you.

What's this in here?

Practically nothing, but we get in
there.

And then?

Who knows, you dame I ever met.

Come on in.

Make yourself at home.

Has all the comforts of a covered wagon.

A little hideout, I found.

Sort of a rustic wolf den, huh?

I haven't brought any girls out here, if
that's what you're asking. You're the

only one. Oh, you just come out here to
be alone?

When you try to get some sleep in the
daytime down in that hotel, you'll think

you're back in the riveting factory.

I come up here practically every day and
sleep myself back into making sense.

Uh, want to try it?

That? Great for the nervous system.

back home working the swing shift, I'll
see this place in my mind's eye.

Only the place?

Oh, I'll remember the company, too.

Now you're talking. Relax.

Not bad, huh?

Well... Hey.

That wink of yours must have given me
the wrong idea.

Look, Flip, I'll explain it. Sure, sure.

Relax.

After all, the two of us are strangers.
We're next door to it. We needn't be.

Now, Flip, we just met last night.

And the sum total of what we know about
each other is that I'm singing with the

band a couple of weeks and you deal
blackjack. And last night you thought I

dealing from the bottom of the deck.

Well... But now it turns out I had a
pure heart and an empty gas tank.

Well, we're still a long ways from being
well acquainted.

What do you want to do?

Correspond for a couple of years?

No, but it's just that I don't know
anything about you.

I'm a gambler, honey.

Well, I like a safe bet, honey.

I don't even know whether you're married
or not.

How about you?

No. Any strings?

Well, there was a guy, a pilot.

But he got interested in studying the
native dances in Dallas, Texas.

Well, then?

You won't get mad if I ask you
something.

No, what?

Where is she?

She? Your loving wife.

What is this?

Well, you must be married and have four
kids or something.

Otherwise, you don't look exactly like a
4F.

You are the nosiest dame I ever met.

Well, gee, Flip, you've got to expect
people to wonder about things like that

these days.

Okay, okay, so you've got to know
everything.

A sniper let a little air through me in
Sicily, and the War Department thought

I'd be better over here where I didn't
whistle on windy nights.

Oh, Flip, I'm sorry.

I volunteered to get into the army and
had nothing to say about getting out.

There's one thing I don't like to talk
about, but you asked for it.

Gee, wounded in action.

Does it hurt much?

I don't know when it's going to rain.

Make you feel better?

Oh, I just knew it had to be something
like that.

Okay, so I'm not married and I'm not a
draft dodger. Anything else you want to

know? Not right now.

Then what are we wasting time for?

Wait a minute.

Well, what now?

Well, I mean, I feel... I mean, how do
you feel?

More questions.

Well, I'll tell you. I'm riding on a
cloud, baby, and I'm not giving anybody

seat.

Oh.

Well, what's wrong now?

Well, gee, I only met you yesterday.

Too quick, huh?

And now flip.

If you think every time I wink it means
put your arms around me, honey, we're

going to get awfully tired.

Well, quit winking, then.

Well, I can't help it. It's involuntary.
And this is voluntary.

Oh, honey, let's get back on the horses.
I think I'm on a merry -go -round.

Don't you want to be?

Well, I just think let's both take it
easy.

After all, I'm going to be here a couple
of weeks, and there's still a lot we

ought to know.

More questions?

All right, ask me.

Well, I mean about me. You don't know
anything about me. Well, give out. Give

out. Oh, okay, honey.

But it takes time to give out.

Come on.

And thanks for saying give out.

How can you drink that stuff?

Lemonade is for kids at circuses.

You sure are touchy about something.

Oh, I ought to have my head examined.

Why? I don't know.

I never ran after a girl like this in my
life.

Mm -hmm.

I mean it.

Take it easy, take it easy. What for?

Do I have to bring you flowers and take
you to the movies a whole year before I

can convince you?

Well, a girl does like to have flowers
and a little romance before she's

married. Heaven knows few of them get it
after.

I don't know why I'm sitting here. There
are plenty of other women in the world.

Plenty. Good sports, good pals.

No questions asked.

As for instance... Huh?

Her. Who?

The girl with the endowments that just
passed.

When?

You didn't see her?

No. Well, I guess I'm doing all right.

Mrs. Fullerton.

What now?

I'm nearly going to return her matchbox.

Be right there.

Oh, well, Mrs. Fullerton. Yes?

Well, I just wanted to give Mrs.
Fullerton back her matchbox. I'm Mrs.

Fullerton. No, she's Mrs.

Huh? I'm Mrs. Fullerton.

I think that is a matchbox from the
ranch.

You're Mrs. Fullerton?

Well, then may I ask just whom that was
that left?

Oh, that's my secretary, Miss Winifred
Ashburn.

Mrs. Fullerton, there's something you
ought to know. You just stay where you

are.

I was out to your house last night. I
had a letter to give you from your

husband. Yes?

This character, whoever he thinks he is,
met me at the door. Yes, but... Just go

ahead and deny it.

He passed that woman off as you.

Well... And how is the posudo Mrs.
Fullerton today?

Ask them what they did to that letter.
Just ask them.

Oh, yes, the letter that my husband gave
you.

I think I have it with me now.

Yes, here it is.

Mr. Pelham and Miss Ashburn told me all
about your bringing it.

Up to and including her passing herself
off as you?

Oh, I'm sorry, but you see, there have
been some people from the newspapers,

I don't like to see anybody I don't
know, and they didn't know anything

you, you see.

But... It was very kind of you to bring
the letter. Thank you.

Well, now, just a minute.

I'm by no means satisfied.

Call for Mrs. Fullerton? No, for Mr.
Pelham. Give me the phone.

Well, plug it in. Plug it in. Yes, sir.
They have no right to read that letter.

I really think that's a matter that
concerns me, Mr. Pelham and Miss

Mr. Parsons, I'm going to ask you to see
to it that Miss Revere doesn't annoy

Mrs. Fullerton. If Mrs. Fullerton has to
contend with... Contend?

Who's contending? I'm trying to wise her
up is all.

Mrs. Fullerton simply won't come to the
hotel anymore.

You are an employee of this hotel.

I'll see you in my office.

Yes, sir. Shall I bring the whip along
or do you keep one handy?

Go away.

I wish you'd call up your husband. Go
on. Go to my office at once.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Mr.

Pelham, the call was for you. Oh,
thanks. And really, Mrs. Fulton, I

I regret this happening, but I promise
you it will not happen again.

Hello, Pelham.

I hate to interrupt you, but I've become
kind of a bad run of luck at blackjack.

Yeah, I see.

Well, that generally happens if you stay
with it.

So I find myself kind of short, see?

Now, I don't want to come out in the
dining room while you're there with that

party, you understand.

And I don't want to make a trip out to
the ranch.

So how can we get together?

This afternoon.

wouldn't want to inconvenience you in
the smallest degree.

But I'll be in my room in about an hour,
and I know I'll be hearing from you.

So long.

What are you doing here? Come into my
office. Oh, now, listen, Mr. Parsons, I

had no intention of annoying Mrs.
Fullerton. It was a highly personal

Now, Mr.

Parsons, Miss Revere's been working
rather hard in a war plant. Maybe she's

little nervous and quick -tempered. Oh,
that's okay, Flip. You don't have to

apologize for me. When I see monkey
business... But it won't occur again.

can I be sure of that?

The girl's been here one day and already
there's been a scene.

My guarantee mean anything to you? Oh,
now, look, if you don't... If you'll

overlook this, I'll give you my word
that Mr. Revere won't cause any more

trouble to anyone. If she does, you can
fire the parents. All right, then I'll

hold you responsible.

Who's mixing in other people's business
now?

There's no question of that at all. He
makes me sore.

Well, anyway, thanks for speaking up for
me.

If there's ever anything I can do to
repay you...

Oh, pardon

me. I thought you were alone.

What about him, anyhow?

What about him?

Who is he?

Name's Clave.

What's he do?

I don't know.

You know, I watched him a little while
ago, and he struck me as a very

suspicious... What did I tell you about
that nose?

Sorry. Maisie, if I'm not rushing you
too fast, how about having supper with

tonight? Okay.

Seven? Right.

And listen, angel face, drop this
Fullerton routine, will you?

Parsons wasn't kidding.

And we might as well have this couple of
weeks here.

We might as well.

See you.

Bye. Bye.

Hi, Jerry.

Good evening, Miss Revere.

You know something?

What, Miss Revere?

I'm a mind reader.

You are?

Uh -huh.

If you want to slap my face, you've got
to write.

Oh, I can't help it, Miss Revere. I've
got an intense nature.

Oh, honey.

If I were ten years older, I'd adopt
you.

And if you were ten years older, who
knows?

But no kidding, I am psychic.

I bet you, for instance, I could tell
you... Who'd that notice for, the one

got there?

Oh, you could?

Sure. Come on inside, I'll show you.

Here, now give it to me.

Now I'll close my eyes so I won't see
the name on it.

Okay.

Take my hand.

In connection with this object, I
vibrate to a C.

Yeah? A C, an L, C...

L -A -V -E.

Say, that's right, Mr. Claven, 309.

Mr. Clave, oh, what do you know? We're
old friends.

Jerry, let me pull a gag, huh? Let me
take this to him.

Well, we're not strictly supposed to.
Oh, Mr. Pelham wouldn't mind on us.

old friends, too. It's a regular reunion
around here. Well, did Mr. Pelham send

this here? Can you read that off it,
too?

Oh, sure.

He did send it, didn't he?

Oh, I don't know. The bell captain gave
it to me.

Well, I'm sure it was him.

They're old friends, aren't they, Mr.
Clavin, Mr. Peller?

I'm sure you've brought messages from
one to the other many at the time, huh?

Oh, listen, Miss Favira, in my line of
work, you don't know who's friends with

whom, least of all in Reno.

Oh. Well, let me take it to him for a
laugh.

Well, okay.

But let me walk to the door with you so
I can feel I've done the correct thing.

Okay.

But stay out of sight, kind of, so you
don't spoil the gag. Okay.

Well, this is an unexpected pleasure.
Come on in.

Make yourself at home.

Thanks.

Say, I think I'm going to like Reno
after all.

Clave.

Pelham told me to give you this.

Thanks. Say, wasn't you down in the
lobby when I was on the phone?

Yeah. Where you been all my life? Oh,
I've been here, there, and everywhere.

What's with you and Pelham?

Well, uh...

What's with any of us in Pelham?

You in? Huh? And cut you in?

Oh, sure.

How much?

Well, the same as any of us in my line,
I mean.

I mean. Yeah?

What's your line?

Who, me?

Oh, I'm versatile. Anything that pays
off.

What's yours?

On that, we gotta have a drink. Well, I
don't drink.

Uh, but on second thought, why not?

You're cute.

You kill me.

This one you'll have to take with water.

We'll get the next round on its way.

Okay.

You know, I got the funniest feeling
I've seen you someplace.

Could be.

I've been someplace.

I had an uncle who got in a little
trouble back east. You know something

beautiful? I don't care about your
uncle.

I'm only interested in you.

Now, wait a minute. I won't be able to
think of anything else till I get this

straight. Uncle Joe was in the big
house, and I used to visit him

Maybe that's where I saw you.
Sweetheart, what's your name?

Revere, Maisie Revere.

Maisie, huh?

Uh -huh. Cute name for a cute little
package.

But my uncle... You sure you've never
been in stir?

Sure, I ain't never seen you before,
doll baby. You I couldn't forget.

Here's to the two of us, Maisie. May we
go places?

Well, if we're going to go places, pal,
we better start getting acquainted.

Baby, you can say that again.

What about that next round?

But you haven't touched that one yet.
Well, don't worry. I'll polish this off.

Okay.

Two scotches and sodas at 309.

Doubles. Now, hurry up.

Now, supposing I tell you all about me,
then you tell me all about you, huh?

Maisie, that wink you gave me downstairs
told me the whole story.

But not all of it.

Huh? No.

Now, me, I've had quite a history.

Yeah? Yes, sir.

Juvenile delinquent of ten.

Oh, he's only got acquainted if you sit
in a chair like that.

Might as well be comfy, eh, beautiful?

Then I took up shoplifting for a while.
But it wasn't until I got into my first

con game I really hit my stride.

Now tell me about you.

Over here.

Gee, you sure got an unusual hand.

Yeah? Yeah.

Let me guess what line of work you're in
from your hand.

Look, sweetheart, if we're going to play
games, let's play them sitting down.

Yeah, but wait a minute.

Could it be locked?

and safes, maybe.

Oh, I'm safe, sugar.

But not too safe.

My Uncle Joe used to brag he could open
any safe that was made. Yeah, well, you

got plenty to brag about with a pair of
games like that. Yeah, but my Uncle...

Where are you going? Come back here. Let
me show you what my Uncle Joe used to

do.

He'd rub his fingertips in the carpet
like this. Yeah? And then he'd take a

little sandpaper and he'd... You know,
my Uncle Mo used to have a cute trick,

too. Yeah? Yeah.

He'd take one ounce, see?

And he'd put it around a babe like you.
Now, wait a minute.

And then he'd take the other arm. Now,
just a minute. You better answer the

door. Yes, yes.

Oh, okay.

Yeah? Okay,

Sonny. Don't you think you better order
another round while you got him here?

Something tells me I'll be mighty glad
to see Jerry again very soon.

You think of everything, aren't you,
Bunch?

Another round to have a pint.

Very good, Mr. Clave.

Lovely, you know something?

Honey, but I know everything, except
about you.

Sorry, Mr. Hammond.

That's okay, Jerry.

you not only got a pretty leg, you got a
hollow one.

Oh, Mr.

Clay, you ought to be on the stage.
You're so comical.

Come on, Maisie, let's go back to our
little cozy corner. Oh, yeah, but we

let these drinks get warm, can we?

Come on, Maisie.

Somebody left the door open. Fine thing.
I'm going to shut it.

Yeah, we got to have a long private
talk.

Yes, sir. We have to talk over our plans
and Pelham's. Especially my plans,

Maisie. I got lots of plans.

Oh, Jerry, honey.

We won't need any more drinks.

I prefer dealing with Mr. Clave
directly.

Well, not to put too fine a point on it.

Mr. Clave has passed out cold.

Pardon me.

Mr. Clave.

Mr. Clave. Sir, the bar's closing.
You've got to settle up for these eight

scotch and sodas. You can sign if you
wish. Run along, sonny boy. You bother

Oh, Clavey, come on. Don't be like that.
Sign the checks for the kid.

Kid? Anything for Maisie.

Anything Maisie wants. Yeah, that's
right. Now come on over. Get on the

That's right. And we'll take the little
pen, and we'll take the little checks,

and we'll put your little name on them.

As drunk as I am, and I am drunk, I can
always write.

touchy -witchy?

Nothing to it.

Okay.

Thank you very much, Mr. Clayton.

I've only this to say to you, Miss
Revere.

It's a great shock to me personally that
one so sharp -looking should be a mere

coquette. Well, that's okay, Jerry.
Don't mention it.

I'll be right there.

Maisie.

Better go sleepy -bye, Mr. Claves.
Sandman's coming.

Operator, I want to put in a person -to
-person call to Sergeant William

Fullerton, located at Camp Roberts.

Yes.

What?

Don't concern yourself unduly, my
friend. I'll settle for this call prior

checking out.

Hurry up.

Where you been? You missed the supper
show.

Oh, Tommy, I bet you're provoking. You
got it right.

Hello? But something came up that was...
It's more than me being provoked. The

manager raised the roof.

Knowing you the way I do, I told him he
must have a good excuse, but... Gee,

Maisie, I'm sorry.

Fired, huh?

That's about the size of it.

Oh, gee, Tommy, I'm sorry for letting
you down, but it couldn't be helped.

Thanks for everything.

You can stay here tonight, but... He
wants the room in the AM.

Okay. Hello?

Oh, excuse me, Tommy. I've got to get
this call. I'll be seeing you. Okay.

Bill?

Bill? This is me.

Yeah, Maisie Revere.

Yeah.

First off, I want to apologize for
whatever I said on the phone the other

I'm on your side now, and how?

Listen, Bill.

You've got to get yourself out of here
as quick as you can. Get myself there?

Honey, what's the matter with you? I
can't get there. It's absolutely

impossible.

Well, then you've got to do the
impossible.

Have a man -to -man talk with a general
or something, but get here.

I can prove in black and white that all
this trouble between you and her, I mean

your wife, is a put -up job.

But the divorce comes up in the morning.

What did you find out?

Never mind what I found out. I've got
evidence.

You just get here by hook or crook.

What? Well, you've got to do the
impossible.

It's skittle -da -roof -ga -doo and I
ain't fooling. You get here.

Hit me again, not too hard.

Bust. Tough luck, Mr. Fallon.

It's a sure you're a knight, Mrs.
Ashford. Flip.

I'm working.

Pardon me.

Hello. Flip.

Something's come up. I'm busy.

Yeah, but I want to tell you... Beat it.

Flip. Look, go play somewhere else, will
you? Flip, take a card.

Any card.

Excuse me.

Look at it. Okay, so you know the
tricks. So you know lots of tricks. Now

it, will you? No, Flip. Listen, you've
got to try it again. And look at it this

time. I want to see for sure, can I do
it?

Call for Mr. Pelham.

Here, boy.

Telephone, sir.

I'll be right back.

This is one night I'm going to quit a
winner.

Please, Flip.

Take a good look.

Your card was the two of diamonds?
Right.

Okay.

Playing, Miss Ashman? I certainly am.
I'll have you begging for mercy pretty

soon.

Hit me.

Winifred. Just a minute, Roger. Hit me
again.

Come on, something's come up.

All right.

Twenty -one, Mr. Hennehan.

Play twenty -one.

This has been your lucky night, all
right.

My luck. We're leaving tomorrow.

Goodbye, Mr. Hennehan.

Been fun.

Goodbye, Miss Ashburn. Mr. Pelham, we've
enjoyed having you here. Thanks. Hurry

up, will you, my dear?

Goodbye.

George.

George, take over.

Oh, look now, I'm eating myself. Five
minutes.

All right, but don't forget what I want
to favor.

No worries about standing you up. You
got me up here to apologize or explain

about that supper date. Just skip it.
Oh, no, there's a lot more to it.

Oh, all right.

Hi, Jerry.

Hi.

Well, what's this life and death matter?

I heard Parsons canned you. Do you need
some money? Oh, that, no.

But it's sure sweet of you to offer.

Flip, I know you told me to keep my nose
out of the frozen business. Forget it.

Do whatever you want.

Oh, say, that's kind of different than
what you said before dinner. You said

some things before dinner, too.

Yeah, I know I passed my word to let the
whole matter drop.

But, Flip, it's no longer a hunch on my
part or a suspicion.

I have absolute proof that there's
something crooked going on. Where did

find the proof? In Clave's room?

Yes. But how did you know?

Oh, that's what made the icicles grow.

Oh, honey, I can clear that up, let me
tell you. Don't bother.

Yeah, but Flip, wait till you hear.

They're out for Mrs.

Fullerton's money. They want to break up
the marriage so they'll have a free

hand. Pelham's in it and Ashburn and
Clave.

Do you suspect anyone else? Well, there
may be more, but the three I know for

sure. Clave's been forging letters.

Hey.

How do you happen to know all this?
Well, don't worry how I know. I got the

goods on them.

Evidence that'll stand up at any court
in the land.

Well, is that what you were hanging
around Clave for, to get this evidence?

Well, sure.

Oh, honey, I know up to now you've taken
the attitude that I'm nuts. But with

the evidence that I've got right here,
I'll blast this nefarious ring wide

Whoa,

calm down.

Yeah, who is it? I wish to speak to Miss
Revere, please.

Jerry? Yes.

Well, I can't come right now.

I'm busy.

Miss Revere, your whole future life is
at stake. I ask you, please, to speak

with me.

What is it, Jerry?

Oh, I cannot speak in the presence of
others.

Miss Revere.

What, is it about Clave? Oh, no, no,
it's about you, Miss Revere.

Is your mother alive?

Mama? No, she's dead and buried these
ten years, rest her soul. Why?

Well, if she was alive, she'd say to you
what I'm about to say.

Oh, Jerry, for heaven's sake, spill it.

Miss Revere.

Maisie. I beg you to stop and ask
yourself to where you are drifting to.

To what?

Well, you've got something good and fine
about you, Miss Revere.

I'm a great judge of character.

Oh, honey, you're sweet.

Jerry, things aren't always as they
seem.

Dig me?

All I know is what I saw with my own
eyes. First 309 and now 102.

Oh, Jerry.

Did you ever hear of J.

Edgar Hoover?

Sure. Okay.

A word to the wise is sufficient.

Do you need any help? I'm plenty rugged.

Well, we'll have a password.

Is that FBI?

It means to block out the interference.

Oh, I get you. You mean he's in the way.

Flip? Yes. Oh, no, he's on our side.

Oh, you've made me very happy, Miss
Revere.

Skittle the rough gadoo.

Skittle yourself, honey.

And remember, you're gay.

Excuse me, honey.

Gee, is your attitude towards this whole
matter going to change when you see the

proof right before your eyes? I'd like
to see it. Well, I got it right here.

Look, Maisie, I'm supposed to be
working. What do you want to show me?

Well, Flip, you've got to help me,
because these people are plenty tough.

Yeah, yeah, I read Dick Tracy, too.

Where is that thing? I had it right
here.

I guess you lost your alibi, huh?

Well, that blotter was in my bag when I
entered this room.

It's not there now.

Evidently not.

Quite evidently not.

Well, what happened to it?

I don't know.

Do you?

I might have taken it. Well, you were
the only person in the room. That's

Well, why would you want to do a thing
like that?

I might be one of those crooks.

Ever think of that?

Not until now.

I'm beginning to think you're nuts.

And what I'm beginning to think you are,
I wouldn't demean myself by saying.

What kind of an idiot do you take me
for? You invent a cock and bull story,

then when I call your bluff and you have
to produce this evidence, you accuse me

of stealing it.

And even now when I've got you dead to
rights, when I know you took that

out of my bag, you have the cast iron
gall to pretend you're all broken up

some romance between I and Clive.

Hello?

Goodbye.

Okay, George, I'm coming.

Miss Revere?

Oh, yeah.

You want it on the... phone long
distance.

The army.

Oh, him.

You can take it in the booth.

Okay.

Miss Revere speaking.

I worked it, Maisie. I'm in the bus
terminal in Salinas right now.

Oh, Bill, that's a big load off my mind.
Now, you contact me the minute you get

in and I'll tell you everything has
transpired.

But you've got to go to Gloria right
now, tonight.

I can't, Bill. They watch her like the U
.S. Mint, especially after all that's

happened. No, that's impossible.

The divorce will be granted and she'll
be on her way before I can get there

unless you show her this evidence you
have.

Well, Bill, there's no use horsing
around.

I haven't got it.

Yeah, but you told me you had the
evidence.

Yeah, and I did have it, too, but it was
stolen off me by the biggest rat of

all.

I'm Bush, Bill. I don't know what to do.

Gloria'd never believe me without any
evidence, and besides, I can't get near

her. You must, Maisie. I'm counting on
you. Stop that divorce somehow, anyhow,

but stop it.

Look,

my bus is pulling out right now.

Don't fail me, Maisie. Keep her out of
that courtroom, even if you have to

kidnap her.

And remember, skittledy rough gadoo.

Now listen, Bill, it's all very fine to
skittledy rough, but... Hello?

What time do you get off? With a stroke
of midnight.

Stroke of midnight.

Well, come up to my room when you're
through, will you? Maybe we can work

something out.

Big job? Yeah, kidney, um, colossal. Oh,
I'll be there.

Don't forget. No.

If I'd known you folks were coming, I'd
have baked a snake.

Little Miss Revere, you mix too much in
other people's business.

Yeah, so I've been told.

By your associate.

He didn't lose any time, did he?

Not much.

Where's that blower?

Huh? Don't stall around, girly. You took
it off the desk.

Well, I take back what I said. News
travels slow in your set. You guys ought

get together.

Come on, give.

Well, it so happens that that blotter is
now in the United States Mail,

registered, special delivery, on its way
to the proper authorities, too.

Together with a sworn -out deposition
signed by me in front of a notary

She hasn't had time to do all that.

Yeah.

Start with this.

Search away, Winnie the Pew. You won't
find anything.

I'll be darned, I was stuck in the
lining all the time.

Oh, look, I've got to see somebody right
now and square myself.

Sit down, sister.

Hey, quit shoving. She knows too much
and she talks too much. And she doesn't

walk out of here in any shape to talk.

Want me to take care of her? Shut up,
Clave. Stick to your penmanship.

What harm can she do?

Are you kidding?

Now she has no evidence. She can still
talk. She's the talkinest dame I ever

up with. Let her talk. Who'd believe
her? Gloria might. That sentimental

She won't get within shouting distance
of Gloria. We'll take care of that. That

dame ain't beyond talkin' to the cops.

Now wait a minute.

Imagine you're a police captain.

That much imagination I ain't got.

Shut up, Clave. And into the police
station walks this dame.

This common -looking little bleach
blonde. Bleach? I'll show you my baby

pictures.

In walks this crazy little nobody fired
from a plane plant.

Fired on? Because she was off her head.
She comes in with a story about some

words she thought she saw on a blotter
she hasn't got.

That's supposed to prove Gloria
Fullerton's business manager and her

confidential secretary are crooks.

How much stock would the police take in
a wild story like that? From a silly

little crumb like her. They'd laugh at
her. You're right. She's harmless.

Come along, Clayton.

Listen, honey. I'll go take some
aspirin, will you? Yeah, but let me have

chance to... Give me a chance to deal
these cards.

Okay.

Your room? Yes, yes. Okay, scram.

George.

Oh, come now. Too much is plenty.

Flip, honey, I want to apologize.

I've been wrong my life before, but
never this wrong. Save it till we get

inside.

Flip, I thought you stole the bladder,
but I had it all the time.

Look, there's a hole in the lining of my
bag. Look, Flip. Yes, yes. All right,

Maisie. Well, you can't blame me.

Well, yes, you can, too.

But here's what happened.

First off, the soldier's on his way.
What soldier?

Fullerton, her husband. He's on his way
right now. Oh. Well, I told him that the

evidence had been stolen off me. But he
just kept saying I had to stop that

divorce. Evidence or no evidence.

Well... I was in a terrible predicament,
as you can plainly see. Oh, yes,

Maisie. Well, I go up to my room, see,
not knowing which way to turn.

And there they are, the three of them,
waiting for me. What three was that?

Clave, Pelham, and Ashburn, of course.

Oh, Clave, Pelham, and Ashburn. Yeah.

Well, part of the time they had a gun on
me, threatening me.

Then Pelham, the ringleader, demanded
the blotter.

Well, not knowing of the hole in my
lining, I was dead sure I didn't have

thinking you'd stolen it, see?

Well, when she pulled that blotter out
of the bag, I nearly dropped dead.

Maisie, darling.

Forgive me, honey.

I didn't understand how things were with
you.

Here, sit down.

Gee, me forgive you.

Listen, I thought you were one of them.

But you don't suspect me now, do you,
Maisie? You know I'm on your side.

Oh, I know you're on my side now.

Well, honey, they won't bother you
anymore.

Flip won't let the bad people hurt you.
He'll take care of you. And he'll get

you another blotter, too.

Flip, don't you believe me?

Sure, I know how very real it was to
you, darling. You saw them and you heard

them. But Flip's going to help you now.

There's a very wonderful guy right here
in this hotel who'll understand the

whole thing.

Yeah, but would he believe me without
any proof?

Sure he will. He's got an office right
downstairs. You'll be crazy about... I

mean, you'll like him, Maisie.

Dr. Cummings. Dr. Joe Cummings. A
doctor?

Well, what good would he do?

I need somebody that'll help me hold
Gloria Fullerton in some secret place

she comes around to our way of thinking.

Oh, but now, honey, Clave and Pelham and
Ashburn are the bad ones, but you like

Mrs. Fullerton.

Why would you want to hurt Mrs.
Fullerton? I don't want to hurt her. I

to hold her and block her out of the
play until her husband gets here.

I know. Now, you just tell Dr. Cummings
everything. He'll straighten you all

out. Flip, are you intimating again that
I'm a little nutsy?

Oh, no, honey, of course not.

You've just been working too hard.

After you've had a good rest and plenty
of sun and lots of nourishing food,

you'll be fine. Yeah, and while I'm
getting sun and nourishment, Gloria's

getting gypped and divorced.

You just leave all those things to Flip.

Maybe I can get the doctor tonight.

Oh, not tonight.

But you like doctor coming.

Well, I like it better in the morning.

Just a minute.

All right, in the morning, promise?

Yeah, I promise. And thanks for
everything, Flip. I don't know what I'd

without you.

But I will.

Okay, George.

Now, Mrs. Fullerton comes up the
courthouse steps. Yeah, front steps,

Right.

Then she goes through the front door.
Front door B. Yeah.

And there'll be crowds milling around
and flashbulbs exploding.

Mm -hmm. Yeah. Now, right about here,
make that C.

You step up to her and you say... I say
like I was a court attendant. Mrs.

Fullerton, kindly follow me. Your case
will be heard in the annex to avoid the

crowds. That's right.

And from then on, it's a boom, boom,
boom, bang, zis, boom, bong, you're out.

And then, boom, you cut her up, and it's
zing, zing, zing, zowing, we're in.

Then you cut her up again, and it's,
hmm, slam, bang, 40, 50, 60,

skiddly -roof -ka -doo, and it's over.

While we're in the courtroom, deliver
these to the real estate office. Be sure

and return at once. The hearing won't be
long, and we're going right from there

to the airport.

Yes, sir.

I can't go through with it. It won't be
too difficult. Just a few questions.

Mr. Van Heusen has gone over it with
you. You only have to say yes, and it'll

over in a few minutes.

But all those people.

I'll have to walk up those courthouse
steps for that mob.

I just can't do it. If I never get my
divorce, I just can't. But, Gloria...

None of that will be necessary.

I can fix it. There'll be no courthouse
steps, no crowds.

Joseph. Yes, sir? Get the station wagon.

Let us pass, please. Mrs. Fullerton,
give us a picture without the veil, will

you please? No photograph.

Absolutely nothing. But, Mr. Pelham, we
have... Stand back and let him pass.

Now, wait a minute. Don't push. Mrs.

Kindly... Oh, I mean, Mrs. Fullerton,
kindly follow me. Your case will be

in the annex in order to avoid the
crowds.

Oh, well, Mr. Pelham will be escorted
there also.

I must get to the side door.

Oh, that's right.

To the side door. That's just where
we're going, Mrs. Fullerton. Right this

Be careful.

Keep

quiet.

Here you are, Jerry.

Into the car, Mrs. Fullerton. Any
resistance is useless.

Go on.

Oh, gee, what do we do now? I don't
know. Get him while I think.

Oh, keep quiet.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

That's her again.

I can't seem to get this door open.
Could you help me? Right in here. Yes,

I... Help!

Get her out!

I'm taking this off, Winnie, so you can
chirp and save us all a lot of trouble.

You little meddler.

Where are you taking us? To a nice,
quiet spot. Step on it, Jerry.

Mr. Pelham will follow us with the
police. I advise you to turn back.

I don't think so.

Your pal, Mr. Pelham, is kind of anxious
to stay away from the cops, isn't he,

Winnie? You'll get what's coming to you.
Oh, now, now, Winnie the Pew.

It's a frame of all the way, Mrs.
Fullerton. Can't you see it? She's

Gloria. Her actions prove it.

Jerry!

We're all right now, Miss Revere. Here
come the cops.

Oh, yeah, just dandy.

Help! Police!

Help! Help!

Stop! Stop!

Come here! Help!

Police!

Help! Help!

Now,

what's the matter here? Now, don't tell
me one of you girls is going to have a

baby. Kidnapping officer. This girl
forced us at the point of a gun. That's

true, officer. I haven't even got a gun.
She's only doing her duty, officer.

She's a dangerous criminal trying to
keep Mrs. Fullerton from her divorce.

doing the courthouse at Reno right now,
officer. Now, wait a minute. Let me...

The girl's out of her mind, officer.
It's the only explanation for kidnapping

us. Listen, I'm the one that's being
kidnapped. I'm in the middle. She pulled

gun on me. Just look under her purse.

Why, she planted that on me.

A likely story. A very likely story.
Officer, I demand to be taken back to

courthouse immediately.

Quiet. I need to go. Quiet.

You're all pinched. You can explain it
at headquarters.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with Miss
Ashburn, Captain.

The poor girl must be mentally
unbalanced.

Anyone can see she's cracked. She is
not.

What do you know about this, son?

Nothing. He had absolutely nothing to do
with it. I'm asking him.

You can beat me with stool pigeons.

My lips are sealed.

You better tell the truth, son.

What should I do?

Tell the truth. We have nothing to hide.

All right.

Miss Revere is a secret operator for the
FBI.

What's this?

Oh, well, not exactly, Your Highness. I
mean, Your Honor. You see... You're not.

Oh, Miss Revere.

Well, Jerry... But she told me. There
you are. I tell you, she's insane.

Well, I'm no more nuts than you are,
Captain.

All right, son, you can go.

We'll call you if we want you.

Thanks.

Miss Revere, I have only this to say.

I'll never trust another woman as long
as I live.

Oh, Captain, do we need to wait?

Our main consideration is Mrs.
Fullerton's divorce.

Under the circumstances, Judge Carter
has consented to hear her case in his

private chambers immediately.

I'm sorry, Mr. Pullen, but I can't let
you go till this thing is settled.

Now, you accuse this girl of kidnapping.

She accuses you of... But she's crazy.
Can't you see that? If that's proved,

I'll hold her under charge the rest of
you.

Fair enough, Major.

Captain. Well, I promoted you.

That'll do you no good.

I'm a married man.

Maisie!

Flip!

Oh, honey, I'm glad you're here. These
people are trying to tell the captain

crazy. All right, darling, take it easy.
I've brought Dr. Cummings along.

Dr. Cummings?

Captain, I'm Flip Hanahan, and this is
Dr. Cummings. I'd like to know the

against Miss Revere.

We have several.

Kidnapping, mental deficiency, and
assault with a deadly weapon.

It is not a deadly weapon. It won't even
chew beans.

That man's the blackjack dealer at the
hotel.

They're evidently accomplices.

We are not. We're hardly speaking.

Keep out of this, honey. Let me handle
it. I'll take care of you. I don't need

taking care of. Just tell him I'm as
sane as...

What's he looking at?

Well, he's a psychiatrist, dear.

Well, I don't care if he's in a rape,
and he can't stare at me like I was a

sirloin steak.

We're wasting time, Doc.

What about this girl? Is she all right
upstairs, or isn't she?

It's difficult to say without a complete
examination.

I see traces of an afronyic
displacement.

What's that crack?

The doctor's here to help you, honey.
Yeah, but I don't need a doctor. There's

nothing wrong with me. He's just gumming
up things.

Captain, Miss Revere's been overactive
in war work. She came here to rest.

a little nervous and overtired. Poor
kid.

Hey, Doc, does this kind of a get
violent?

That's possible.

Possible?

I didn't mean that, Doc. She's in a
highly nervous state. I tell you, she's

responsible for what she says or does.
That's possible. Thanks, Doc.

Flip! Captain, surely you're satisfied
now.

Yeah, I've heard enough. You folks can
go, but don't leave the courthouse in

case I want you.

Thank you, Captain.

Come along, Gloria.

Don't be too hard on her, Captain.

I'm sure she didn't mean to harm us.

I'm sorry, my dear.

Oh, Mrs. Fullerton, you're making a
terrible mistake. These people are

fast one. Come along, Gloria. Oh, Mrs.
Fullerton. Hold it, baby. Take it easy.

You take your hands off me.

I'd have been all right if you hadn't
come over here to help me.

Now they'll be beating my knees with
hammers and tell me I'm in love with my

oatmeal spoon. The excitement's been too
much for her. I'll take her back to the

hotel where she can rest. Nothing doing.

I'll have to hold her till tomorrow
morning so the state alieness can make a

check. Oh, no, Captain, you can't do
that. You'll spoil everything. I've got

beat the courthouse right now. Put her
in the cage, boys.

Now, wait a minute. A night in a police
station is not going to help her

condition. No!

No! Put her in 26, Joe. No!

Oh!

Oh! You can't do this. Here, get a
chair. Hurry, hurry.

Oh! Doc, you do something. What do I do?

That's the doctor.

The doctor.

Oh, Dr.

Hamphanike.

Gee, I haven't had one of these since I
was nine years old.

Tell me, were any members of your family
dementia precox?

Oh, well, Grandma was sort of dementia,
but Grandpa was more the precox type.

Perhaps if this young lady could be put
in a hospital, Captain, I could... A

hospital? That's it.

Maybe if I could have a rest for a
couple of days, I'd be all right again.

For years.

You can put her in my care. I'll be
responsible for it.

Well, all right. But remember, she still
has charges against her. She won't run

away. I'll be with her every minute.

Go ahead. Come on, darling.

Lean on Flip, honey.

Bad luck to step on a crack.

Connie, as soon as you feel better,
we'll take a trip somewhere so that you

get good and strong again.

That'll be a wonderful trip. Sure it
will.

And you wait right here with the doctor
while I go get a taxi. Okay.

Why'd you let her get away from us?

She's crazy!

Lock the other door.

Maisie, open the door. Now, we girls can
talk this over nice and quiet. Maisie.

Well, maybe not quiet, but quick.

I'll settle this.

Giddley rough, Bill.

Just what are you trying to prove? It's
only my word and Bill's against them,

Gloria, but you gotta listen. They
proved she was crazy. Don't listen to

Gloria. Shut up. Yeah, and they forged
those letters from Bill so they could

split you up and get the money.

Maisie, Maisie, open the door. What's
going on? There's a maniac in there. So

you feel positive that her
reconciliation is out of the question?

Yes, Your Honor.

Well, that's the truth and the whole
truth. You can take it or leave it. If

believe one word of it, you're as crazy
as she is. Well, even if I am crazy,

Bill ain't. Did you know about this,
Bill? Well, not until Macy dug it up.

Macy, open the door!

Macy! Open this door! Macy, open the
door!

What's going on in here? Your Honor.

Your Honor, Miss Revere here was placed
in my charge. She got away, but she's

not responsible.

Tell him, Gloria.

Gloria?

Gloria. I'm Gloria Fulton, Judge Carter,
and this is my husband.

This young lady saved us from divorce
and embezzlement.

Is that right, soldier?

That's right, Your Honor.

And I demand the arrest of those two for
conspiracy and grand larceny. Why,

she's crazy.

Your Honor, this is absurd.

The ratings of a madwoman.

And you can pick a... a forger by the
name of Clave at the El Presidente

He's in with them, too.

and sardines to talk about.

Look, Maisie, tell me what this... Now,
listen, you big lug. This is all your

fault. You and your old psychic
analysis.

All right, honey, I give in. I guess
maybe I'm the one that should have had

doctor.

Honey, you don't need a doctor.
