Well, I'm going. I'm leaving it in your care, Sergeant. It'll be here when you get back, sir. Well, if it isn't Sergeant Warden. You'd better step inside or you'll get wet. I am wet. If you're looking for the Captain, he isn't here. And if I'm not looking for him? He still isn't here. I'm looking for him. You know where he is? I haven't the slightest idea. Perhaps he's in town on business. That's the way you put it the other day, isn't it? I got some papers it's important for him to sign. I'll try phoning him at the club. - Maybe he's there. - Don't do that. I never like to disturb a man when he's drinking. I could use a drink myself. Do you wanna ask me in? The liquor's there, Sergeant. In the cabinet. You're taking an awful chance, you know. My maid is liable to be home anytime. No, she won't. Thursday's her day off. You think of everything, don't you? I try. In my position, you have to. Are these really important? Yes. But not important they get signed today. Tomorrow's okay. I got copies at the office. So it won't be much work to fix them up. That's what I like about you, Sergeant. You have confidence. It's also what I dislike about you. It's not confidence, ma'am. It's honesty. I hate to see a beautiful woman going to waste. 'Waste' did you say? There's a subject I might tell you something about. I know several kinds of waste, Sergeant. You're probably not even remotely aware of some of them. Would you like to hear? For instance, what about the house without a child? There's one sort for you. Then there's another... You're doing fine, Sergeant. My husband's off somewhere, it's raining and we're both drinking now. You've probably only got one thing wrong: The lady herself. The lady's not what she seems. She's a washout, if you know what I mean... ...and I'm sure you know what I mean. You gonna cry? Not if I can help it. What are you doing? I'm leaving. Isn't that what you want? I don't know, Sergeant. I don't know. - Speed it up. - I'm speeding. 'Payday' All right, Maggio. You wanna get paid? Knock it off. Angelo! A dollar he's wrong, coming up. Sorry, I already won my bankroll in the latrine. Besides, it's a penny-ante game. Come on, buddy boy, we're going to town. Look, don't let them get your goat. We dress up in civvies and we're as good as the rest of the world. Here, wear this. My sister sent it to me. She buys everything too big. Look, first we hit a few bars, see? Then we go to a place where I'm a member: The New Congress Club. Girls! Any prejudices against girls? That's what I thought. Well, it looks like you're all primed for a big night. Hello, Stark. - You want some company? - No, thanks. All tied up. Leva says you've been eyeing the Captain's wife like a hound at hunting. He has, huh? What else did that character tell you? She took up with a lot of men back at Fort Bliss. I wouldn't put stock in stories like that. This ain't no story. Because I was one of them myself. Not for long, though. Sure is something strange about that woman. Yeah. Thanks for the tip. See you. Hello. - I didn't think you were coming. - Why not? I ain't late. No, I guess you're not. But I got here a little early. I must have been over-anxious. - You weren't, though, were you? - I stopped along the way for a few drinks. You chose a lovely spot for our meeting. I've had three chances to be picked up in five minutes. That's par for the course around here. Well, I don't care for it. I never went in much for back-alley loving. Take it easy. You probably think I'm a tramp. What makes you think I'd think a thing like that? Don't try to be gallant. If you think this is a mistake, come right out and say so. Well, I guess it's about time for me to be getting home, isn't it? Isn't it? What's the matter? What started all this, anyway? You think I'd be here if I thought it was a mistake?
