All language subtitles for How To Marry A Millionaire - S01E26 - Operation Greta

Boulder Dam.

Symbol of power.

Creator of wealth.

Wealth that can be yours, too.

All you have to do is build
yourself a dam just like it.

That's the hard way.

Know an easier way, lady?

Hmm.

Marry it.

THE END

Now, just take it easy, honey. Your big
date's gonna be here any minute. Loco,

I wish you'd be still.
There's no need getting excited.

You and Mike are the
only ones who... Your bag.

Oh, Loco, where'd you put your bag?
I just wouldn't get the red light.

Just because Bill Sutton happens to be
handsome. Charming. And likes you. Really,

girls, I'm not in the least bit excited.

He's late. He's not
coming. Oh, local, please, we've

got enough problems.
Greta, what are we going to do?

The phone. Mike, call him up.

He can't do that to us.

Yes, everything's going
to be okay. Don't worry.

Wait a minute. Let's get one thing
straight. Yeah? If he does show up,

don't you dare give him the
satisfaction of knowing how anxious you were.

That's right. You just play hard to get.

Okay, but if you ask me,
girls who play hard to get

hardly ever get God.
Oh, that's him. Out here.

She's ready, just waiting for you.

Shall we go? Oh, I don't know.

What?

I'm not in the least bit
anxious. Loco. Come on, come on, Loco.

Well, what she means is
she's not anxious to stay home.

And have a good time.
Yeah, have fun, kids.

Uh, thanks.

I wish you two girls would make
up your minds. Bye. Have fun. Bye.

It's almost two.

That looks good. If the
local wasn't scoring, she'd

have been home a long
time ago. What a catch.

Good looks, good
position, good... She's home.

Wait. He might be popping the big
question. Then she'll need witnesses. Come on.

Local.

Where's Bill? What happened? Oh,
it was terrible. You quarreled.

But why?

Well, the evening started out fine.

First, we had a wonderful
dinner at the Lido. Mm-hmm.

In the theater, the fifth row center.

Keep going.

After that, we went to a
fancy nightclub for dancing.

Sounds perfect. Then it happened.

He saw another woman. No, I
saw another man. Oh, you didn't?

Gee, Mike, I didn't mean
anything by it. You see,

Bill went up to the orchestra to
ask them to play my favorite piece,

and while he was gone, this real nice
man came over and asked me to dance.

And Bill got sore.

Well, not right away, but after the
fourth dance, when we were at fourth dance,

I was only doing what
you told me to, playing

hard to get. I said hard, not impossible.

So I'm impossible.

She didn't say that, but sometimes you
are improbable. That's right, take her side.

Loca, why is it every time we
get a chance to get somewhere,

you have to go and spoil it?

Look, honey, Mike or I could have
dated Bill, but he seemed to prefer you,

so we deliberately stepped aside. Oh!

So you were doing me a favor.

Why do you always have to
twist our words around?

I suppose I don't understand English. If
you two think you're so superior to me,

all you have to do is say so.

Look who I... Poor kid.

Gee.

I didn't think she'd get that upset.
Well, you were a little rough on her.

Well, I certainly didn't mean to be. I
better go in and have a talk with her. Oh,

forget it. You know Loco.

By morning, she'll be
all over it. Besides,

she needs her beauty
sleep for that modeling job.

I suppose you're right.

Still, I hate to think of her
in there crying her eyes out.

All set?

Excuse me, Ray. Miss Jones, when you're
finished, when you come in the office,

I have another assignment for you.

Oh, yes, Mr. Baxter.

In fact, you're going to be quite busy.

The Army wants us to help them with
their recruiting program. You know,

poses with enlisted men and all that.

Your first stop is downtown at the
recruiting office, so see me when you're through.

Oh, yes, sir.

Ooh, the recruiting office.

I wonder which bathing suit I should wear.

I don't know, but if you wear a
bathing suit around the recruiting office,

the draft board could go out of business.

Loco?

She's not at home.

I could have told you that
the minute we walked in.

Oh?

No purse on the chair, no scarf on
the lampshade, no coat on the sofa,

and her shoes aren't in
the middle of the room.

Well, sure.

And there's nothing burning in the
kitchen. Right. It's her night to cook dinner.

Greta? Hmm?

I'm gonna cook the dinner.

Conscience?

Well, I was a little
rough on her last night.

It's too bad we couldn't have talked to
her this morning, but she left so early.

And, as usual, forgot her key.

Jesse. Hi, girls.

I hope you don't think I'm butting in,
but my cousin's looking for an apartment,

and if you haven't lined anybody
up yet, I thought that... Jesse,

what are you talking about?

Loco.

Well, what about Loco?

Well, she enlisted in the WACs.

Is this a gag?

I'm telling you, she enlisted.

Where did you get that idea?

Well, draw your own
conclusion. She pops in this afternoon,

picks up her low-heeled shoes,

and says she's going down to the
recruiting office to take her shots.

This is fantastic.

Then again, knowing Loco...

I know this place is expensive, but this
cousin of mine, Elsie Becker, is loaded.

Her husband owned three bars until he
started drinking up all the profits.

Poor guy went just like that. Of course,

it won't be the same as
having Loco around here,

but I'll talk to you about it later.

Loco in the army.

That's a laugh.

For whose side? Ours or the enemy's?

Greta, you don't think Loco
really... Oh, of course not.

She wasn't that upset.

Was she? Oh, of course not. Or was she?

But Mr. Baxter, I just
left the recruiting office.

I know, but you have to go back. The
colonel says your modeling was so effective,

he's sending you to Camp Dover tonight.

Camp Dover?

Yes, he wants pictures with the inductees.

Well, all right.

But I think we could get much
better pictures with the soldiers.

Well, you tell the colonel
that when you get up there.

Jesse's a nice guy, but you
can't really go by what he says. No,

he is inclined to get things a little
mixed up. Well, when you're talking to Loco,

getting things mixed up comes pretty easy.

Who?

Loco in the army.

Wouldn't that be something?

I'll say.

Hi, girls.

At ease, Mem.

That... that uniform.

A WAC?

She isn't an usherette at the Roxy.

Oh, hello, I'm Lieutenant
Roberts. I'm here to pick up Miss Jones.

Won't you come in?

No, thank you.

My orders are to take her
to Camp Dover, upstate.

Camp Dover? Is that where she's
going to be permanently stationed?

Well, if she's as cute as the colonel
says she is, that wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Is there any way she can get out of this?

Oh, I'm afraid not.
She's already signed up.

Well, Miss Jones, I see you're
all ready to leave for camp.

Hi.

Aye, aye, sir.

Well, how do you girls?

Local.

Huh?

Goodbye, honey.

She didn't really have to do it.

Mike, you know better than that.

Take care of yourself, honey.

Get to write.

Write? Don't be silly.

We're going to miss you. Bye-bye, sweetie.

My family didn't act this badly
when I left for the South Pacific.

And that was during the war.
What are we gonna do about Bill?

Well, he is kind of a cute guy.

Maybe I ought to call... Easy, girl.

Locals' clothes closet
isn't even cold yet.

Hello, Greta.

Greetings, Mike.

Greetings is right.

I thought I'd surprise Loco.

After what happened?

Well, it was just what I
needed to bring me to my senses.

Is she in?

Oh, and how she's not in.

Out on a date, hmm?

Yes, a three-year one.
What? With Uncle Sam.

What are you talking about?

Loco enlisted in the wax today.

Enlisted? You're kidding.

No, Bill.

About a half an hour ago,
she took off for Camp Dover.

Oh, no. What's got into the girl?

She was pretty upset
about that spat you two had,

and I foolishly quarreled with
her, and I guess that did it.

Well, I'm not taking this lying down.

See you girls around.

Sorry, Bill.

Goodbye. Bye.

There he goes.

One gorgeous hunk of bachelor,
complete with ring, license, good intentions,

everything but the bride. Greta, I'm sick.

It was all my fault.

She was that far from getting
everything we've strived for,

and I had to go and mess it up.

Well, you can make it up to her.

Make it up to her? She's
going to be in the army

for the next three years. What can I do?

Well, you can... You can knit her
a sweater and a pair of mittens.

Oh.

Anybody here? Do, do, do, do, do.

Do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do.

Yes, I'm Elsie Becker, your new roommate.

My what?

Well, didn't your pal Greta tell you?

I'm taking the place of
one of the girls who moved.

Moved?

Are you sure you have the right place?

Well, my cousin Jesse, the elevator man,
just brought me up, and he should know.

Must be Mike.

Mike? Jessie didn't say nothing
about a man living here. Oh, no.

Mike's a girl. Imagine leaving all
because of that silly argument we had. Look,

girly, I don't mean to butt in, but
people should think twice before talking.

My trouble is I always
talk twice before thinking.

Poor Mike.

Maybe I could get her back.
Sure, Rony, don't bet on it.

Jessie said she signed up for three years.

Signed up? Signed up what?
Well, how should I know?

A three-year lease! How horrible!

And it's all my fault.

Ah, stop worrying. After all, it
takes two to make an argument. Yes,

but one and one make two, and I
certainly have one. Well, it'll make you happy.

Worry. Where will I park my thing?

In the bedroom.

Thanks.

I'm sure glad I found this
joint. I've been looking for weeks.

Nothing but dumps.

Mike's gone, and it's all my fault.

Coco. What are you doing here?

What's the matter, honey?
Mike's gone, and it's all my fault.

Mike, you're back.

Don't you ever do that
again. Please don't.

I wasn't mad at you. Really, I wasn't.

Well, Loco, if you'd only explain...
You've got to promise me you'll never leave.

Will you promise?

All right, I promise.

Loco, it's wonderful seeing you again,
but aren't you A-W-O-L? Oh, no, H-O-M-E.

You will promise, won't you,
Mike? I promise, I promise.

Local, when you're in the army, you just
can't go running around as you please.

Who's in the army? You are. Me?

Oh, that.

I just went up to Camp Dover on an
assignment for the modeling agency.

So that's it.

It was just to help with the recruiting.

But then the three of
us are together again.

The four of us.

That's right.

Oh, then he did get in touch with you.

He?

Well, just after you left for Camp Dover.

Hold it, Mike. Let's make it a surprise.

Hold it, Greta. That
four in the four of us

is a she, not a he.
What? Her name is Elsie.

Jesse's cousin?

I guess he thought one of us was in the
army, so... I meant to tell you, Mike.

I told Elsie it was okay.

Well, Loco, didn't you tell
Elsie you hadn't moved out?

Oh, I thought you'd move.

She's such a nice girl,
and I couldn't... I know.

Didn't want to hurt her feelings.

How could I?

Anyway, she had her suitcases with her,
and she's already in the bedroom unpacking.

Well, then she'll just have
to repack. Oh, wait, Mike.

She says she's been looking
for weeks for an apartment.

She can't stay here. We're
going to have to do something.

Well, I guess we're just going
to have to do it the hard way.

You mean the three of us will
move? What's this Elsie like?

Well, she's... sort of a girl.

Well, she's, uh...

Like Loco says, sort
of a girl. I feel like

I've known her for
years. I've got an idea.

Just follow my lead.

You must be Jessie's cousin. You
already know Loco and Greta. I'm Mike.

Oh, yeah, the girl who used to live here.
I moved out without even knowing it. Huh?

Nothing.

I just stopped by to pick up a few things.

I hope you like it here better
than I did. No, really, Mike.

Just because we happen to have a
couple of all-night parties a week.

We had eight of them in one week.

Seven.

Look, I'm a girl like this.

I believe in live and let live.

Although sometimes, not too long.

You mean you like all my parties?

If I'm invited.

Have it your way.

Only I'd advise you to keep
your things under lock and key.

Now, just a minute, Miss McCall.

Just because Loco happened to borrow
a few of your things and accidentally

forgot them at the pawn shop
doesn't make her more beef.

Oh, didn't I offer you half the money?

Let's just say she's a kleptomaniac.
Please, let's not drag religion into this.

I'm with her.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Mr. Blandish.

That's the building manager,
always pestering us for the rent.

Now look, Mr. Blandish, if
you're calling about the

rent, I can tell you
right now, we haven't got it.

I know we're three months behind,
but even if we paid up in a few weeks,

we'd just be behind again, so
why don't we just say... Hello?

Hello?

Well, well is right.

Look, I'm a person like this.

I don't mind all-night parties.

I don't mind borrowing
roommates that forget to give back.

But I don't like deadbeats.

And that rent routine gives me a
feeling that if it's going to be paid,

I'm the sucker that's
going to be stuck for it.

Only one thing, I ain't.

I'll be out of here as
soon as I can pack my things.

What?

You're kidding. Oh, that.

I'm afraid it was all a mistake.

Yes.

Bye.

Loco, who did you say that was on
the phone before? Mr. Blandish?

I can recognize his
voice with my eyes shut.

Good recognizing. Only it
wasn't Mr. Blandish. It was Jesse,

calling to find out how his
cousin Elsie was getting along.

Every time I open my
mouth, I put my foot into it.

Well, I'd better go and
explain. You open your mouth again,

and I'll put my foot in it. Me too.

I wish you two would tell
me what this is all about.

Don't worry.

Just get yourself gussied up like
you've never been gussied up before. Okay.

What dress shall I wear? Why don't
you wear that come-hither number?

Oh, no, Greta, we're beyond
that. Huh? Loco, wear the new dress.

New dress? You know, your dead
brother stopped struggling. Oh.

Okay, anything you say.

Say, did Loco say she put
Bill Sutton's number in this

book? Oh, I thought she
did. It's not under the S's.

You know Loco's filing
system. Here it is under the L's.

L's? Sure, L for eligible.

Guess I wasn't thinking.

Uh, Major William Sutton, if you
please. Uh, I just dropped in to say goodbye.

I re-enlisted.

Re-enlisted.

And get this, with my
connections, I was able to

get assigned to Camp
Dover, so I'll be near Loco.

Oh, no.

Well, girls, it's not that bad. I only
enlisted for three years. I have to be going.

I must report to camp tonight.

If you get a chance, write.

Yeah, write. I think I'll join the army.

Don't be ridiculous, the
Foreign Legion. I'm ready, girls.

Is it all right if I come out now?

What'll we do? Relax,
there's always suicide. All right.

Greta, can I come out now?

Yes, come on out.

You're dressed fine.

This must be some surprise.

Oh, this surprise is a beaut.

Well, come on, tell me, what is it?

Well, to begin with... Hello, I
just happened to... Lieutenant!

Robert!

Oh, this is a surprise. How
were you able to arrange it?

How were we able to... Well,
you see, you were... Well,

it was just one of those things.

You know, I kind of
changed my mind about that...

S-U-T-T-O-N. I guess you girls
guessed it and arranged this.

Mike and Greta do the
nicest things for me.

That's why I love them so.

Who's talking?

Good morning, Jesse. Hi,
girls. Here's your mail.

Thanks. Cup of coffee?

No, thanks.

Hey, uh, Jesse, you haven't heard
anything from Elsie lately, have you?

Yeah, I heard
something yesterday. You know,

she had an awful hard time finding a
place to live. I'm sorry to hear that. Oh,

so she joined up with a wax.

Really?

Yeah, she's stationed up at Camp Dover.

Camp Dover? How does she like it?

Well, especially since
she met that wealthy major.

Major?

What's that? Jesse?

I think it's...

His last name wouldn't happen to rhyme
with button, would it? And never mind,

don't answer that, because we'd all be
better off if we never know. Goodbye, Jim.

Gee, Mike, I would
have liked to have known.

Local, you just never mind. Just
sit there and drink your coffee.

Oh, no, it couldn't be.
