Original subtitles

Through the mirror of my mind, time after time

I see reflections of you and me

Reflections of the way life used to be

Reflections of the love you took from me

Oh, as I peer through the window of lost time

Looking over my yesterday

And all the love I've been born with

Through the hollow of my tears

I see a dream that's lost

From the hurt that you have caused

Everywhere I turn

Seems like everything I see

Reflects the love that used to be

Reflections of the way life used to be

Reflections of the love you took from me

Reflections of the way life used to be

And now fellas, let's meet the gal we've all been waiting for

Miss Nancy Sinatra

I've seen trouble, it's the thing we've missed

And I lay right down here in the grass

But it's you no matter what you ask

It's time to shake it down

Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it

Shake it down

And the sergeant says,

No, no, they're for the other side of the building

So I just lay back and laugh at the sun

Cause I'm in shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo it down

I see it's getting late

For you Navy personnel, it's one bell

For the Army troops, it's 1,300 hours

And for the Air Force, it's one o'clock

And for the Marines, well, the big hand is on

And for Sergeant Wilks, where is he?

Where's Sergeant Wilks?

Oh, he's over there

Hey, Sergeant, Sergeant Major

For you, Mickey's hands are like this

Cause I'm in shoo, shoo, shoo

Cause I'm in shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo it down

If I had you to spend my life

In shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo

Shoo it down

Okay, what am I writing?

Okay

C

H

O

Chao?

Chao, chao on

It's Vietnamese

What's that mean?

It's a greeting

Hello, goodbye

Want to roll you over

Whatever the occasion

Yeah, well, chao on back to you

Don't do that

Chip ended an hour ago

Scrubs are only to be removed in the laundry niche

New regulations

What regulations?

You're out of uniform

Where'd he come from?

I don't know

They just keep on coming

No pulse, no nothing

There's not a mark on him

All right, check out

Get Dr. Richards here to look at him now

Maybe you and I could be a team

I thought we were

On an act

Like Sonny and Cher

That's your dream, not mine

I couldn't, even if I wanted to

Show business is easy

You just pretend you're somebody else

And everybody loves you

Johnny Grand Show's coming

Maybe we could aim for that

Natch knows the officer in charge of the show

He'll get you in to see Johnny

Yeah

It'd be just like the Miss America review in Da Nang

He won't let us in

And we'll end up throwing my pictures and tapes

Over the barricade while he walks by

If that guy would have just turned around

He could have caught it

Yeah, but he didn't

Five thousand G.I.s trampling

All over my tapes and pictures

No connections

No future

All those high expectations

The nuns had for me

At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Orphanage

Ah, it's not that bad

You've got a fan or two

Maybe

Yeah

At last

Finally

Oh, you saw the way I was

I mean, I couldn't just see you leave

I know

Now you're unsure

It's okay, it's okay

I understand, it's just

Natch

What?

Shut up

And close the door

Mermaid

Uh, bye

I thought I saw her

I'm sorry, wrong number

What?

Uh, a little mix-up

Paperwork problem

New regulations

We lost one

What?

A body, we lost a body

Did you look under the bed?

On my shift?

I never got it

And I left the hospital

Where could it go?

Surfing?

You notice I'm not laughing

Yeah

Goodbye

Okay

A missing body?

My body's missing

Missing you

Sorry, did you have a reservation?

Huh?

Oh, we'll leave

No, it's okay, we'll leave

Great

Oh, my friend

Uh, you two work this out

If you need us, we'll be at the jet set

Uh, either, yeah, both

Later

What?

Later

All dressed up and no place to go

Yeah

I know what you need

I know what I need

I hate it when you get like this

Hey, McMurphy

Murphy

You're out of training

You should get back to basic

Okay

Huh, so it's the beach

Right

You ready?

For what?

Letting it rip

Skinny-dip in time

Oh, no, not me, no

It's against regulations

You need to break the rules

You need to do something totally crazy

to tell them you're staying

Fred, somebody could see us

Oh, what could happen?

Come on, let it rip

Wow

You ready?

For what?

Okay, here it comes

Come on

Oh

Just came in from the bush

I haven't seen a round-eyed woman in months

Could I just smell your hair?

Uh, get lost

Oh, wow, stop, right there

I want to remember this

Why?

I just came in from the bush

You're the first round-eyed woman I've seen in months

Give me a break, McClane, you work in supply

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying

Hey

Hi

Hi, girls

I like your hair

Skinny-dipping does wonders for the natural look

Ooh, I couldn't

It's not what it brings me under the arm

Shaving, you know

Wow, you need an heir

I got waxed once

Kansas City

Where?

Can't remember the name

No, I mean under your arms and your legs

You know

Wait, let me think

Darlene from Tupelo

Brenda from Vicksburg

You want to dance, whoever you are?

Me?

You want to get married?

Okay

Nice talking to you

I'll go out and fall on a grenade now

Don't think it's your fault

I really feel for them

We all do, that's why we're here

Yeah, I never thought there'd be too many men for me

It's just simple economics, ladies

Supply and demand

When men are scarce, their value goes up

When they're plentiful, like they are here

The market gets flooded

There's no place for us to hide

You know, I hate myself for it

But, you know, I've even thought

If one more guy comes up to me

I'll just scream

Ladies?

Ladies?

Let's meet the gal you've all been waiting for

Let's welcome Edsy Sinatra

You keep saying you've got something for me

Something you call love, but confess

You've been a messer

Well, you shouldn't have been a messer

Relax, okay? Don't be nervous

No, I'm not

Do you have my pictures?

And the tapes and the clippings of the shows?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right here, right here

No, let me check it

You check six times, Lorette

Stop it

And that's just what they'll do

One of these daisy boots

Are gonna walk all over you

That you'll never get by

And that chair over there

Well, he knows you ain't got time

These boots are made for walking

And that's just what they'll do

One of these daisy boots

Are gonna walk all over you

Woo!

Are you ready, boots?

Do my eyes deceive me?

What's she doing? Wait, it's Georgia Lee!

Georgia Lee!

Georgia!

Hey, autographs?

It's me

Who?

Oh, of course, how silly of me

Hello, Laverne.

Lorette.

Come on, what is this?

It is so nice to see you again.

Are you still in the business, or have you found other employment?

What's this about?

Not a thing, honey.

Did you, uh, see the show?

No.

Too bad.

You missed my duet with Nancy.

Hugs and kisses.

Amazing.

What was that?

I can't believe it.

Again, hello.

You're going to see Johnny Grant, right?

Uh-oh, here he comes.

Lorette!

Lover, see coverage you're wearing.

Lorette.

Hey, large body.

How's the zoomy business?

Hey, flying high.

These are my friends.

I told you about Lorette Barber.

The singer?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're going to get us in to see Johnny Grant?

Listen to her tapes?

Uh, sorry, old man.

Strict orders.

Disturb not.

Don't worry, honey.

It'll come.

It'll be great, really great.

Hey, give me a call sometime.

We'll do something.

It's her!

Lorette, come on.

It's no big deal.

Come on, let's go.

I'm fine, really.

Down in the dumps, huh?

Me?

Cheer up.

What about you?

Me?

Ah, great.

The best.

I'm going to beauty school.

See?

After one month correspondence course,

I can open my own shop.

Lorette, about yesterday.

Yesterday?

Hi, Lorette.

Hey, I heard about Johnny Grant.

Ancient history.

For you, dear, on the house.

Why?

I'm great.

She's great.

She's great.

Excuse me.

Could I buy you ladies a drink?

I have a drink.

I drink too much.

Never touch the stuff.

Thanks.

Gee.

We were awful to him.

Why do we do that?

I know what we mean.

Uh-oh.

A place of our own.

My dear, that's just what this is.

I'm even thinking about putting in miniature golf.

No, no, just for us.

You know, where we can let our hair down.

No makeup.

That's it.

No men.

That's it, right.

Just rock bottom us.

Lorette.

It's a great idea.

I mean, we can't even hang out in our room anymore.

Gooney, nats, nats, gooney.

I mean, terrific.

But what about us?

Oh, nice, Lorette.

Well, I've got to get back to work.

Oh, me too.

Wait, we could do it.

Everybody just pitch in and...

Later.

Lorette, about yesterday.

I'm serious about this.

I know, I know.

Right after beauty school.

I am.

What are you doing?

Taking a few precautions.

It's our night.

Nobody's going to interrupt.

Assume nothing.

Prepare for everything.

Everything?

Everything.

I have only one thing to say.

Yeah, what's that?

Shut up and stop hammering.

I can't get out.

The door's nailed shut.

Try the hammer.

Hammer?

What hammer?

Where'd it go?

Where is it?

Who could find it?

Well, what are we going to do?

Not again.

I'm in trouble.

This is no time to be late for my shift.

No regulations.

I was supposed to be in the air at 0400.

What are we going to do?

Oh, save.

Pardon us.

Wait a minute.

Who are you?

What are you doing in my air conditioner?

Stealing it.

Wait a minute.

Where are you going?

No time.

Late already.

But where?

Can't say.

How long?

Don't know.

Aren't you going to say goodbye?

Pilots don't say goodbye.

But...

Pony.

What's it mean?

He seems to know me.

And he still likes me.

Don't look at me.

I'm a Catholic.

I'm not supposed to be happy.

Maybe it's me.

Maybe I'll get something.

Start worrying about losing it.

Maybe you're still worried about missing the big time.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll never get out of here.

No one's stopping you, like tomorrow.

I don't mean it like that.

You and booty.

There still isn't enough.

Yeah.

A good round.

Not a great round, but a good one.

A couple of new bomb craters on the fairway.

Some fresh concertina wire on the green.

Those little touches that make golf here so special.

A little denial going on?

You're not really in Vietnam.

You're Arnold Palmer, the masters in Augusta.

You're too young to remember, I know.

You and that fly boy.

But my hero, Dwight D. Eisenhower,

when things got the toughest, he always played golf.

It helped.

No, but it did wonders for his game.

Some of us can't play golf here.

Some of us have to count band-aids every day now.

Of course, it wouldn't be necessary

if certain people had kept track of certain things.

Whoa. Foul.

I did not lose that body.

Who did?

Well, you sent it to the checkout counter.

Oh, no.

You're not gonna pin this one on me.

You're the doctor. You signed the death certificate.

Doctors are forgiven minor mistakes.

Amputating the wrong legs.

Putting an appendix in instead of taking one out.

Diagnosing gunshot wounds as the measles.

We eat that sort of thing for breakfast.

But losing a body, that's something different.

Bad for the resume, bad for the house payments.

This ward has a distinct break to the left.

I mean, those investigators are so hostile.

They act like I have no respect for the army,

for rules and procedures.

You don't.

This doesn't look great for you, either, you know.

They can suspend you.

Even yank your certification, like that.

Rip. Instant non-nurse.

Come on.

Hey, the Gestapo is hard at work.

They have ways of making you talk.

Georgia?

It's about Lorette.

Would you let her sing with you?

She just needs a chance.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

You know, she saved you when you puckered the wrong way.

Kept you from getting a reputation of someone who eats and runs.

The stories I could tell you.

I was so sick they couldn't fly me out of the country.

Didn't dare.

I was lying in Saigon, wasting away.

Pitiful.

And then Johnny, Mr. Grant, called and raised me from the dead.

And here I am, me and Nancy.

Well, you could do the same for Lorette. Just help her out.

Well, as sweet as she is, and I love her a bunch,

I'm not sure she's got it.

Sweet as you are,

I'm not sure that Mr. Grant, Johnny,

would like knowing how you blew your schedule and let the boys down.

Such a good friend you are.

But this is show business.

Nobody cares about yesterday.

Only now counts.

And now I'm singing with Nancy, Sinatra.

I gotta run, hon.

Hugs and kisses.

Yes, yes, yes. You're a singer.

No, but I...

That's no problem. I can always use you on a handshake tour.

Listen, I've got this friend.

She used to sing with Georgia Lee.

Who?

The girl on the show. She sings with Nancy Sinatra.

Oh, the blonde? The new backup singer?

Backup?

Listen, my friend.

She sings, she dances, she's funny.

And she wants to come to Vietnam.

No, she's here.

Here? What color hair? No more blonde.

No, redhead. She's a great redhead.

Look, these are her pictures and her tape.

Uh-huh. Well, tell her to stand by.

And you sure you don't want to make a handshake tour?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, guys.

Lorette Farber!

The red one, huh? All right.

I thought this was supposed to be a woman's room.

Right. No, I'm not. You left.

Yeah.

Right?

Right.

Lorette!

Huh?

Oh, Cherry, I knew you'd be the first one to come.

Oh, I can't stay. I'm working.

But a message just came for you from Johnny Grant.

Come on.

Yeah.

Cut it out.

I'm not cutting it out.

He wants you to go on tour with him.

It's true. It's true!

This is it!

Something that I wanted?

What steps did you take beyond visual observation?

She checked the pulse. Read the report.

Are you not aware that certain pharmaceuticals

as well as certain traumas can mask the pulse?

She asked that a doctor examine the body. Read the report.

Do you deny that you violated dress code regulations

section one, paragraph A, subsection three,

section two, paragraphs...

Not to mention all of paragraph M.

Sections, paragraphs, subsections.

Lieutenant McMurphy's an experienced triage nurse.

The hardest job in medicine, dealing with lives,

not subsections.

Why didn't you undertake a more complete examination?

I...

Due to the pressure of the moment,

with more casualties arriving, there simply wasn't more time.

Look, we've been there. We know what it's like.

So much pressure, so much at stake.

It's what I do.

Tell us.

How many casualties you treated after you lost Private Lazaro?

Give us a feel for the crush of dead and dying

that you were dealing with, huh?

Help us to see what you were facing.

The pressure.

None.

What'd she say?

She said none.

None?

None, Lieutenant?

Yes.

Why were you in such a hurry, Lieutenant,

if there were no more casualties still to be handled?

I was going off-duty. I...

Isn't it true that you were out of uniform

and then you left to meet an Air Force captain for an encounter?

It wasn't like that.

What was it like, Lieutenant?

We'll find the body.

Change the regulations, appeal.

Something.

I wish they'd make me stay away from this place.

Hey, take up golf. You can use my clubs.

Doctors play golf. I'm a nurse.

I was till they kicked me out.

They didn't kick you out. You're suspended.

That makes me feel better.

Not much to show for it, is it?

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane

Ain't got time to take a fast train

Lonely days are going

I'm a-going home

Oh, baby, it won't feel better

You like the slower version of that or the original?

I never liked that song.

Me neither.

So George must have got me in.

Probably.

You know what?

We should blast her tiny little behind.

Remember, keep taking chances.

Let her rip every once in a while.

Yeah, remember I tried that?

I let her rip and I got suspended.

I got kicked right out of the hospital.

Forget them and their rules.

What are they gonna do? Send you to Vietnam?

It's what you're at. It's what I am.

They can't take away who you are.

Whatever they say.

My best match?

Yeah. Boonie.

Always before I was scared to love anybody.

Right then it all worked out.

I can't leave. What am I talking about?

Don't be ridiculous.

Regulation. New regulation.

Section 24, paragraph 3.

Lorette gets a chance. Lorette says goodbye.

I wanna go.

I just don't wanna leave.

Am I crazy?

Never been any doubt about that.

Oh, God, I hate my hair.

I can never get this gunk out of it.

I'm talking about love and you're talking about gunk?

It's because I don't know. I don't know what's right.

I don't know about staying, about leaving, about love.

All I know is that I hate my hair.

And I'm gonna need a new beautician.

Maybe I should change the rims.

She wrote me a letter, said she couldn't live without me no more.

Listen to me, sister, I've got to get back to my baby once more.

Anyway.

Oh, my God.

How did this ever close before?

Can't close the same suitcase twice.

It's just a fact of life.

You gonna stand there and look at me or give it hell?

Not so fast.

Oh.

Oh.

If you don't like it, I'll send for something else.

No, I love it. It's beautiful.

I wanna try it on.

You can't. If we don't go soon, we won't make it.

No, you just go load the Jeep. It'll be a surprise.

What's this?

What's that?

Nice room.

Nice dress.

Where did you get that?

A friend.

A really good friend?

A long time ago.

Boonie.

The worst.

Absolute worst.

No.

No.

I never liked you.

It's okay. I never liked you either.

Stay away from him, okay?

I mean...

Watch out for him, okay?

Sure.

Good luck.

Oh, by the way...

The dress. Hand-wash only. Silk.

That dress.

Nothing like it.

Knockout.

Yeah. It's unique.

Come here.

What? What are you doing?

Trying to say goodbye.

I hate goodbyes.

No, I hate goodbyes.

Well, then get in, because I'm not ready for it.

Right.

Boonie! Boonie!

Boonie! Boonie!

I want you to meet somebody.

We're late. We can't wait, all right?

Beckett wanted you to look at me.

I can't. I'm still suspended.

We're out of here.

All I did was eat this weird little fish, right?

And the next thing I know,

I'm sitting on this gurney out there in the hot sun.

So I just got up to go back to my unit.

I didn't even know I was dead

until this kid from Missoula came out to replace me.

What?

I gotta go.

Uh, being dead's no picnic.

What was that about?

He's the body.

The body, you know, the missing body.

Lazaro. He's alive.

Alive?

I love happy endings.

Let's move out, pilgrim.

Hi. Hi.

I got this note. Yeah.

What a nice peach.

Did you do this, Jerry?

Not me.

Casey, was this your doing?

Oh, not me.

It's our room.

Lorette did it. No makeup, I remember.

No men allowed.

Rock bottom us.

Mandarin red.

I didn't know she had such good taste.

I propose a toast.

Ah.

To Lorette.

Good luck.

And Godspeed, dear.

To Lorette.

To Lorette.

To Lorette.

Excuse me, sister.

Any tools?

A jeep broke down.

Yes, we have tools.

Yeah! All right.

What is this place, anyway?

Orphanage of the Sacred Heart.

Oh, boy.

We're never getting out of here.

What are we doing?

Look, Murphy, would you get her out of here?

I can't concentrate.

You never said that before.

Well, you never left before.

Come on, Lorette.

Please, welcome inside.

Cooler in there and quiet.

Hey.

Ah, your fan belt.

I knew that.

Go ahead.

You can touch it.

It's real.

Sort of.

Look at yours.

It's so pretty how the light hits it.

Shut up.

I grew up in a place like this.

Couldn't wait to get out.

To find a home.

But home isn't a place.

It's anywhere other people like you.

And you love them back.

You're gonna find a home.

You will.

I did.

I'm a singer.

What would you do if I sang out of tune?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me an ear?

And I'll sing you a song.

And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Mmm, I get by with a little help from my friends.

Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends.

What will I do if my love goes away?

Does it worry you to be alone?

How do I feel at the end of the day?

Are you sad because you're on your own?

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.

Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends.

Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help.

I just want someone to love.

Do you?

I just need someone to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.

I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try.
