of the hotel. I'm not going until she shows up. Put your clothes on. Let's get out of here before we get in trouble. Okay? What's the matter with you? Can't a man get drunk? Can't a man do nothing? Can't he put his lousy hands in his lousy pockets on a lousy street? A man gotta be hounded all his life? I'm tired. I ain't no criminal. I ain't no coward! Buddy boy, look.... Get dressed, put your clothes on. -Wait for me? I'll get a cab. -Yeah, sure. -Will you wait? -You get a cab. Hey, MPs! Come and get me, you guys! Here I am! Is that the best you can do? I bet you guys eat Wheaties! Any word on Maggio's court-martial yet? It's on right now. He'll get the stockade sure. Maybe he won't get it. All he did was to get drunk. It's a soldier's nature. It's almost a sacred duty once in a while. But he walked off guard. He went AWOL. What are you hanging around here for? Can't a man rest a minute? What man? You got no work? Maybe I can scare you up some. Go shoot some pool. Any word comes, I'll let you know. Company G, First Sergeant Warden speaking. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, I'll have his things in order. He got it. Six months. I'm gonna escape from this dump. Gimbels' basement couldn't hold me, neither can this. -Shut up! -Whatever you say, Brownie. Prisoner! Halt! Hello, tough monkey. This other girl and I were lucky to rent it. This is a very fashionable district. I have another key made for you. You can use it any time you want to, even when I'm not here. -Hi. -Hi. This is Prew, the soldier I told you about. -This is Georgette, my roommate. -Well, welcome, friend. Hasn't been a man around the house since the cat died. I belong to the Book Guild Club. I always take every book. That's the way I get all the dividends. She'll be great for your friend when he gets out of the stockade. Yes, he'll be crazy about her. Just sit down and get comfortable. I'll make you a martini and see what's to cook for dinner. This is like being married, ain't it? It's better. You okay? Glad you came? Let's get out of here. Don't look around. It can't go on like this much longer. Even though we sneaked across the island... ...we had to run out like jailbirds. If there was only some way we.... Holmes'd probably give you a divorce, but never let me transfer out of his outfit. There is a way. I've been thinking about it. You've got to become an officer. You can take the new extension course, the one they passed last May. -Once commissioned you go to the States. -An officer? Yes. Then I could divorce Dana and marry you. I hate officers. I've always hated officers! Well, that's a fine, intelligent point of view. Suppose I said I always hated sergeants. That'd make a lot of sense, wouldn't it? You sure made a complete study of it. Okay, suppose I did it. And don't think it's a cinch. You'd be here, I'd be in the States, we'd be apart six months! -We're sure to be into a war-- -Tell the truth. You don't want the responsibility. You're probably not even in love with me. You're crazy! I wish I didn't love you. Maybe I could enjoy life again. So they were married and lived unhappily ever after. I've never been so miserable in my life as I have since I met you. Neither have I. -I wouldn't trade a minute of it. -Neither would I. I'll probably make the lousiest officer in this man's Army you ever saw. You'll make a fine officer. A remarkable officer. Thank you. Come here. Can't you wait until we finish dinner? Honey... ...I want to marry you. You're a funny one. Why's it funny if a guy wants to marry you? Because I'm a girl you met at the New Congress Club. That's about two steps up from the pavement. Well, what am I? I'm a private, no-class dogface. The way most civilians look at that, that's two steps up from nothing. Prew, I thought we were happy. Why do you want to spoil things? Look, I've got a year to go before I re-enlist.
