00:02:13I can't do it, sir.
00:02:13I guess he's down.
00:02:15Yes.
00:02:16With ice in the wings and a bent strut.
00:02:17We can only hope for the best.
00:02:22What do you hear from Crippin' Woods?
00:02:23They are the more difficult, Luce.

00:02:59L-one to wing one.
00:03:01What's your position?
00:03:03You're asking me?
00:03:05My altimeter's out of order.
00:03:07I'm flying like a near-sighted bat.
00:03:10Lieutenant Cooper would clown on a tailspin.
00:03:13All right, Lieutenant.
00:03:14Keep a stiff upper lip.
00:03:16A stiff upper lip?
00:03:18Mine's so frozen I could slice a rock with it.
00:03:22Hello, Lieutenant.
00:03:23Lieutenant Cooper.
00:03:27Now he's off.
00:03:28Yes, we know he's all right. Try wood.
00:03:30L-one calling our four.
00:03:32L-one calling our four.
00:03:33L-one calling our four.
00:03:35How are you, Woody?
00:03:40I'm great.
00:03:41Warm as an Eskimo often.
00:03:43Think you'll make it?
00:03:45There's Lieutenant Wood.
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Me?
00:03:48Say, this is the kind of soup I learned to fly in
00:03:51when you were an infant playing ping-pong at West Point.
00:03:53Yeah?
00:03:56Well, I'm going to fly right through this soup.
00:03:58Grab off that little cigarette dame you've had your eye on.
00:04:01Well, I'll take that gal to dinner, a show and supper.
00:04:04Before you check in at the base.
00:04:15Lieutenant Cooper is circling the field, sir.
00:04:17Fine.
00:04:18I'll have his mail put on the truck and send it right into town.
00:04:20Yes, sir.
00:04:21If you can only hear from Lieutenant Wood now, I'll feel better.
00:04:24No, I'll feel better.
00:04:54Well, we'll be right there.
00:04:56Don't let him go.
00:04:57Don't let him go.
00:04:59Let him go.
00:05:00Let him go.
00:05:01Let him go.
00:05:03Let him go.
00:05:08Oh, a tough night, eh, Sophie?
00:05:09The old man's been plenty worried.
00:05:10What do you fellas been doing to him?
00:05:11Oh, it's not us.
00:05:12He's worried about you.
00:05:14Why should he be worried about me?
00:05:15Man alive!
00:05:16Do you realize you've come through the worst storm in years?
00:05:19Listen, Matt, a storm is just a flock of raindrops trying to get tough.
00:05:22And besides, those love letters in the mail packs kept me warm as toast.
00:05:26Have you heard from Woody yet?
00:05:27No. They haven't contacted him since 6 o'clock.
00:05:30Oh, he's all right. I talked to him.
00:05:32Uh, listen, you can do me a favor.
00:05:34What?
00:05:35He doused the beacon so he'll overshoot the field and be delayed a couple of hours.
00:05:38You want me to be shot at sunrise?
00:05:44Oh, Clark, keep a lookout for Woody, huh?
00:05:53Hello?
00:05:55Yes?
00:05:59Oh, congratulations, Lieutenant Cooper.
00:06:02You're the first man through.
00:06:04Jackson, Stevenson, Farmer are down.
00:06:07Jackson went into a tailspin. We thought he was done for, but...
00:06:10He managed to pull out of it.
00:06:11Well, I'm glad of that, sir.
00:06:13Yeah.
00:06:14Sergeant Byer just called. He's contacted Lieutenant Wood.
00:06:16He'll be here in 10 minutes.
00:06:17Fine. Tell O'Toole and the boys will be ready for him.
00:06:20Now, I just received word from Washington that the air mail is going back on the regular commercial line.
00:06:25So I'm putting you and Wood back on your gunnery and bombing units for a while.
00:06:29I think the rest will do you both good.
00:06:31Well, I'm all right, sir, but I don't believe Lieutenant Wood is very well.
00:06:34What's the matter with him?
00:06:35Well, of course, he wouldn't admit it, but I believe he's coming down with a pretty bad chest cold.
00:06:39Possibly pneumonia.
00:06:40I heard him coughing pretty badly over the radio.
00:06:43Oh.
00:06:44You think it's that bad, eh?
00:06:46Yes, sir.
00:06:47If I might suggest it, I believe what he needs is a few days rest in the hospital.
00:06:50Oh.
00:06:51Yes.
00:06:52All right, all right.
00:06:53I'll speak to him when he comes back.
00:06:55Thank you, sir.
00:06:56I was, uh...
00:06:57I was wondering, sir, if I might drive into the city.
00:06:59Tonight?
00:07:00Yes, sir.
00:07:01I have some very urgent business to attend to.
00:07:04Oh.
00:07:05Well, of course, it's urgent, but I...
00:07:07I suppose you'll have to go.
00:07:09Thank you, sir.
00:07:10Yeah.
00:07:11Oh, and Cooper.
00:07:12Yes, sir?
00:07:13You might give my regards to the, uh, urgent business.
00:07:40Let's go.
00:07:42Hello, Woody.
00:08:09Hello, Joel.
00:08:10Have you heard from Soapy yet?
00:08:11He got in 10 minutes ago.
00:08:12What?
00:08:13Yeah.
00:08:14I've got some very pressing business to attend to.
00:08:16See you later.
00:08:19And I'm returning you to your bombing, Eurek.
00:08:23But first, I think you better take a few days in the hospital.
00:08:26In the hospital?
00:08:27Yes.
00:08:29I understand you have a pretty bad chest cold.
00:08:32What?
00:08:32I never felt better in my life, sir.
00:08:35Well, Lieutenant Cooper said that he heard you coughing quite a bit over the radio.
00:08:38He would.
00:08:39What?
00:08:41I mean, it must have been my motor here at Coffing, sir.
00:08:44Oh, yes.
00:08:44Yes, I see.
00:08:46However, we can't afford to take any chance of this kind of weather.
00:08:49And, uh, anyway, I think you better turn in early.
00:08:51If you don't mind, sir.
00:08:53I'd like to run into the city for a couple of hours.
00:08:56Is it necessary?
00:08:57Yes, sir.
00:08:58It's very urgent business.
00:09:00Well, I guess it'll be all right.
00:09:03Thank you, sir.
00:09:03Sir, and Wood.
00:09:07Yes, sir.
00:09:07You better hurry.
00:09:09Or that urgent business might be insolvent before you get there.
00:09:13There you go.
00:09:23Let's go.
00:09:23Hiya, Nihai.
00:09:24Hello, you, Tank.
00:09:27You look sweeter than ever tonight, baby.
00:09:28Hiya, knee-high.
00:09:35Hello, you, Chang.
00:09:37You look sweeter than ever tonight, baby.
00:09:38Go on, that's the beer.
00:09:41Going to your head.
00:09:42No, it's you.
00:09:44You're going to my heart.
00:09:45What's that supposed to do, sweep me off my feet?
00:09:48I had a tough time getting here, but your eyes are the beacons that guided me as I flew
00:09:52through the storm and rain and...
00:09:54Slush.
00:09:55I want to work now.
00:09:56I'm going to change my clothes and be back in a jiffy.
00:09:59I imagine you ought to look well in a jiffy.
00:10:14Hey, fill her up.
00:10:17And put some beer under the foam, will you?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:22Good evening.
00:10:24Do you think so?
00:10:25Do I think what?
00:10:27Do you mean with what?
00:10:29Wait a minute.
00:10:30Let's start all over again.
00:10:31Good evening, my little songbird.
00:10:33Could I sing something just for you?
00:10:35Could you sing Far, Far Away?
00:10:37I'm afraid I don't know it, but I can sing down by the old mill stream.
00:10:41No, that's not far enough.
00:10:43But there must be some song you would like me to sing.
00:10:46No, thanks.
00:10:47I can't tell one card from another anyway.
00:10:49By the way, what's your name, little girl?
00:10:51Gretchen.
00:10:52Greetings, Gretchen.
00:10:53No, just plain Gretchen.
00:10:55Are you a captain?
00:10:58Am I a captain?
00:10:59I'll have you understand, I'm a major.
00:11:01Oh, I hoped you were a general.
00:11:04Listen, Gretchen, there'll be a general here any minute.
00:11:07And I'll introduce you to him.
00:11:09In fact, I don't know what's delaying.
00:11:10Wonderful.
00:11:11I don't have to sing anymore tonight.
00:11:13I can go out with him.
00:11:14What's his name?
00:11:14His name's General Wood, and he'll be tickled to death.
00:11:17I could like a general a lot.
00:11:19And there's a lot of you for a general to like.
00:11:22I'll go get dressed for the general.
00:11:26Poor Gretchen.
00:11:28Poor Woody.
00:11:29Sit down, won't you?
00:11:35I got a little present for you, Nehine.
00:11:37What is it?
00:11:42Unwrap it.
00:11:46Why, it's for a few of those.
00:11:48The best the money can buy.
00:11:49I have it made especially for you, baby.
00:11:51Read it.
00:11:53With lotions of love.
00:11:57From G.C.
00:11:59Why, how cute?
00:12:00That's my way of getting close to you.
00:12:04Come on, let's go for a ride.
00:12:05I don't know that I should.
00:12:08You're not going shy on me, are you?
00:12:10Listen, soldier.
00:12:11You've got a leave of absence from an army phone.
00:12:14But I have a phone to check in at.
00:12:16And besides, mother has a check from concessional.
00:12:19Don't pull that mother gag on me.
00:12:21I got away with them.
00:12:23And besides, every day is mother's day for me.
00:12:25No fooling.
00:12:25Tonight, I have to be home early.
00:12:27So do I.
00:12:28I always make it a point to beat the milkman by five minutes.
00:12:31Come on.
00:12:35Well, well, Woody, what detained you?
00:12:50I had to stop at the hospital to get a cough nap.
00:12:53I got a surprise for you, Woody.
00:12:55I can imagine.
00:12:56There's a new singer here named Gretchen who is gaga over officers.
00:13:00I told her you were a general and it's all fixed.
00:13:02You've got a heavy date.
00:13:05Just wait at that table and we should meet you there.
00:13:08What is this, a gag?
00:13:09No, it's on the level, Woody.
00:13:11I could go for it myself in a big way.
00:13:13Come on, Nehi.
00:13:32You happen to be looking for a general?
00:13:51Well, I beg your pardon.
00:14:01That siege is taken.
00:14:02Sure it's taken.
00:14:03I took it.
00:14:05What did you do with it?
00:14:08Aren't you waiting for Gretchen?
00:14:13Well, yes, but I, uh...
00:14:14I am Gretchen.
00:14:15Aren't you the general?
00:14:17Uh-uh.
00:14:18I was demoted last night.
00:14:20Aren't we going for a ride?
00:14:22Sorry.
00:14:23I'm not interested in balloon trips.
00:14:25I'll bet you tell that's all, but girl.
00:14:42It's no use.
00:14:43I can't get it started.
00:14:44Don't tell me you ran out of gas here.
00:14:46That's supposed to happen on a country road.
00:14:49This is no time for kidding.
00:14:50What's the trouble?
00:14:52The motor's on the fritz.
00:14:53The coil must be wet.
00:14:55How about letting me have your car, Woody?
00:14:56I could telephone a mechanic and pick you up later.
00:15:00Why not?
00:15:09There you are.
00:15:11Come on, Nehi.
00:15:11You're not sorry about Gretchen, are you?
00:15:28Oh, don't be silly.
00:15:29That was a great gag.
00:15:31I can take a joke.
00:15:32Attaboy, Woody.
00:15:33I knew you'd see the humor in it.
00:15:35This key doesn't fit.
00:15:37Why, of course it fits.
00:15:40I tell you it's the wrong key.
00:15:41Yeah?
00:15:42Well, maybe it's the wrong car.
00:15:44Wait a minute.
00:15:44I'll show you.
00:15:48Get out.
00:15:49Maybe I can start it for you.
00:15:50Well, I guess this is the wrong key.
00:16:07Well, there you are.
00:16:08We're all set.
00:16:10Don't be so sure.
00:16:11Maybe you have a flat tire.
00:16:12Thanks, Woody.
00:16:14Don't mention it.
00:16:16Soaping.
00:16:20Wait a minute, General.
00:16:22Wait a minute.
00:16:24Can you imagine me being a sap like that?
00:16:50Here we come, Colonel Brooks, full of pep, personality.
00:16:53Prunes and pancakes.
00:16:54And perfume soap.
00:16:58Fight the chihuahua.
00:17:00She's a beauty.
00:17:01I mean the dog.
00:17:03The crack still goes.
00:17:08I beg your pardon.
00:17:09Could you tell me where I can find the quartermaster?
00:17:11You go down two buildings and turn left.
00:17:13And at the end of that building, you turn right.
00:17:15Then you go to the next building.
00:17:16And there you are.
00:17:18Oh, thank you so much.
00:17:19Don't mention it.
00:17:20I'll see that he doesn't.
00:17:23Come on, Mr. Dick.
00:17:24Come on, Mr. Dick.
00:17:30Come on, let's go.
00:17:34I forgot my ribbons.
00:17:35So what?
00:17:36You know what makes the old man sore if you don't wear them.
00:17:39You go on up to his office and I'll run back and get them and join you later.
00:17:43Okay, Soapy.
00:17:49Okay.
00:17:50Then you go on, let's go...
00:17:59I was like, Mrs. Dick.
00:18:10Okay.
00:18:10I wanted to do that.
00:18:22Oh, hello.
00:18:24Did you find the ribbon?
00:18:25If you could allow me, I'll escort you to the quartermaster's office.
00:18:29Good morning, Lieutenant Wood.
00:18:31Good morning, Colonel.
00:18:32Lieutenant Wood was on his way over to your office.
00:18:33He wanted to see you about something important.
00:18:34Why, I just...
00:18:36All right, come right along, Lieutenant.
00:18:37Yes, sir.
00:18:40If you'll allow me, I'll show you to the quartermaster's office.
00:18:43He's a personal friend of mine.
00:18:44Oh, thank you so much.
00:18:49Well, what do you want to talk to me about?
00:18:52I don't think I'd better take it up just now, sir.
00:18:55You see, it's a long story, and I...
00:18:57Oh, well, I've got lots of...
00:18:58Come on to Hamilton's office.
00:19:00Yes, sir.
00:19:07Sit down.
00:19:09Thank you, sir.
00:19:10Well, what's the big story?
00:19:16Well, you see, sir, I think...
00:19:19That is, I think...
00:19:21Fine, fine.
00:19:22I'm glad to see that some of my officers think.
00:19:29What's the dog's name?
00:19:30Latita.
00:19:31That's funny.
00:19:32Crazy little one.
00:19:36How do you say crazy, lieutenant?
00:19:38Loco-tamiante.
00:19:39I'll remember that.
00:19:46Well, isn't it a fact, lieutenant, that you have nothing at all to talk to me about?
00:19:49And that Cooper's statement was just a subterfuge to get you away from that young lady?
00:19:54Well, sir...
00:19:55Uh, never mind, Wood.
00:19:57I was with lieutenant once myself.
00:20:00But since you have such a super abundance of vitality and energy this bright morning,
00:20:05perhaps you'd like to see Captain Andrews
00:20:07and help him map out the, uh, new tactics for your unit.
00:20:12Well, well, sir, I...
00:20:13It's a lot of work, Wood.
00:20:14And you'd better get started right away.
00:20:19That'll be all.
00:20:21Thank you, sir.
00:20:21Let's go.
00:20:39Hiya, pal.
00:20:40Did you put me over with the colonel?
00:20:41Put you over.
00:20:42You put me under.
00:20:44You got me into a fine jam.
00:20:47I've just spent two hours going over new tactics with Andrews.
00:20:50Now I'll have to spend two days working out the details.
00:20:53Well, there's nothing like good hard work to keep a fellow out of mischief.
00:21:00Where are you going?
00:21:02I'm going out with Sophie and Laquita.
00:21:04Oh, so you've got a Mexican girl for me?
00:21:07No, that's her dog's name.
00:21:08Oh, so her name's Sophie, eh?
00:21:11Yeah, she's from back east.
00:21:13She's a personal friend of the quartermaster's family.
00:21:15I got two days' leave of absence to show her the city.
00:21:18Incidentally, isn't that my tie?
00:21:20Yeah, how does it look?
00:21:26Suds for Sophie.
00:21:28Well, you're going to study tactics,
00:21:30and I'm going to put them into practice.
00:21:32So long, pal.
00:21:38I'm going to study now.
00:22:05Oh dear.
00:22:27Katherine.
00:22:28Yes, ma'am?
00:22:29Come here.
00:22:32What's the meaning of this?
00:22:34What do you mean, what's the meaning of it?
00:22:35Don't stall now. When was Cooper here?
00:22:38Cooper? What Cooper?
00:22:39Do you take me for a sap? That's Tom Cooper's soap.
00:22:43How long has this been going on?
00:22:45Are you out of your head? How did I know that was from Tom Cooper?
00:22:48It came to the mail like it was some kind of sample.
00:22:50Yeah? Well, if he thinks he can come between you and me with his soft soap ways,
00:22:55I'll give him a sample of something else.
00:22:59Now, now, boys, I know just how you feel.
00:23:01Where's Cooper?
00:23:02Yes, where is he?
00:23:03Where is he?
00:23:04He's in the city on leave of absence.
00:23:05Yeah? Well, it's lucky for him he's not here.
00:23:07What's he trying to do? Chisel in on me and my wife?
00:23:10Well, your wife got one, too.
00:23:11It seems that several of the boys' wives have received presents from Soapy today, Matt.
00:23:15I think the old man should hear of this.
00:23:17That's an idea. If we can't take a punch at him,
00:23:19we can have him up on the carpet for conduct on becoming an officer.
00:23:23But it's early yet. I don't think the old man will be in the office.
00:23:25Well, all right, then. We'll get him at home. Come on.
00:23:27We can't get away with stuff like that.
00:23:33Well, now, listen. I wouldn't take it to heart, gentlemen.
00:23:37After all, Cooper probably meant it as a joke.
00:23:40I beg your pardon, Colonel.
00:23:42But I know the kind of dizzy women Cooper gives this perfume junk to.
00:23:45And when he sends it to my wife, it's no joke.
00:23:47I know, but I wouldn't get excited.
00:23:50Why, Cooper's a pretty square sort of a chap.
00:23:53Now, suppose you all sit down and have a cup of coffee.
00:23:55I'll send it to you right away, and I'll be back myself, too, in a minute.
00:23:58My wife told me she got hers in the mail, sir.
00:24:01Why, is he in the mail, too?
00:24:03Yeah, he thinks he's pretty smart, doesn't he, huh?
00:24:05Yeah.
00:24:06Yeah.
00:24:07Yeah.
00:24:08Yeah.
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:12Yeah.
00:24:13Yeah.
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15Yeah.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:17Yeah.
00:24:18Yeah.
00:24:19Yeah.
00:24:41Gentlemen.
00:24:43A joke's a joke.
00:24:45But this is different.
00:24:47When a commissioned officer so far forgets ordinary discipline,
00:24:51has to show disrespect to the wife of his commandant,
00:24:54he is guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer.
00:24:56You're right, sir.
00:24:57I understand that Lieutenant Cooper is in the city on leave of absence.
00:25:03Telephone, Lieutenant Wood.
00:25:04Get him here at once.
00:25:05Yes, sir.
00:25:10Get me, Lieutenant Wood.
00:25:13You sent for me, sir?
00:25:14Do you know where Lieutenant Cooper is in the city?
00:25:18I know several places he might be.
00:25:20All right.
00:25:21Take orderly Enfield with you.
00:25:23Find Lieutenant Cooper.
00:25:24I wish to see him in my office immediately.
00:25:27Put him under arrest if necessary.
00:25:29Yes, sir.
00:25:30All right, gentlemen.
00:25:32You may return to your duties.
00:25:34I'll attend to Lieutenant Cooper.
00:25:36Would you like something to eat?
00:25:37No, thank you.
00:25:38Make it a pitcher of beer.
00:25:39How did you like that soap?
00:25:40It was very nice.
00:25:41Laquita liked it, too.
00:25:42Laquita?
00:25:43Yes, Laquita.
00:25:44I gave her a bath with it.
00:25:45She just loves perfumed soap.
00:25:47Poor Laquita.
00:25:48She'd love it here.
00:25:49Well, we could take her up a couple of bottles of beer.
00:25:50Don't be silly.
00:25:51Hello, Woody.
00:25:52How are the old tactics?
00:25:53Well, I've been enjoying my tactics very much.
00:25:55I've been looking for you all day.
00:25:56Colonel wants to see you.
00:25:57Tell him to come down here, and I'll buy him a beer.
00:25:59Oh, but seriously, Soapy.
00:26:01Colonel wants to see you in his office right away.
00:26:03What's this, another gag?
00:26:05Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:06I'm sorry.
00:26:07I'm sorry.
00:26:08I'm sorry.
00:26:09I'm sorry.
00:26:10I'm sorry.
00:26:11I'm sorry.
00:26:12I'm sorry.
00:26:13I'm sorry.
00:26:14I'm sorry.
00:26:15I'm sorry.
00:26:16I'm sorry.
00:26:17I'm sorry.
00:26:18I'm sorry.
00:26:19Just another gag?
00:26:20You tell him.
00:26:22Colonel's compliment, sir.
00:26:23He wants to see you immediately.
00:26:25If you won't come willingly, you're
00:26:26going to be placed under arrest.
00:26:29And in the meantime, I'll take care of your unfinished business.
00:26:34See you later, Soapy.
00:26:40I hope there's nothing wrong.
00:26:42Nothing I can't make right, beautiful.
00:26:44So you deny sending the soap to my wife, and the wife of the other officers?
00:26:48Absolutely.
00:26:49Is that your printing, Cooper?
00:26:53No, sir.
00:26:54Do you recognize that printing?
00:26:55Well, I... I'd rather not say, sir.
00:26:59Anfield, you say the printed reports of the officers.
00:27:01Maybe you recognize that.
00:27:02Well, it looks familiar.
00:27:03Well, you'll notice that's the same as that of Lieutenant Woods on the bombing unit report.
00:27:07Hmm.
00:27:08So it's Wood, eh?
00:27:09Well, you'll notice that's the same as that of Lieutenant Woods on the bombing unit report.
00:27:12Hmm.
00:27:21So it's Wood, eh?
00:27:21Hmm.
00:27:22Where is Wood?
00:27:23I believe he's dancing with Lieutenant Cooper's girl in a beer garden, sir.
00:27:24Oh.
00:27:25So that's the same as that of Lieutenant Woods on the bombing unit report.
00:27:27Hmm.
00:27:28So it's Wood, eh?
00:27:30Hmm.
00:27:31Where is Wood?
00:27:32I believe he's dancing with Lieutenant Cooper's girl in a beer garden, sir.
00:27:38Oh.
00:27:38So that's what you're doing.
00:27:40And you're doing?
00:27:42So that's the explanation of this hocus-pocus about the soap.
00:27:47If the other officers had gotten a hold of you this morning,
00:27:50it might have been more than a practical joke.
00:27:53Wood must be out of his head.
00:27:54Yes, sir.
00:27:55What?
00:27:56Well, I mean, sir, I don't believe Lieutenant Wood is feeling very well.
00:28:00He's been acting queerly lately.
00:28:02Remember, I mentioned something about his health when we were flying the airmail.
00:28:05Oh, yes, yes.
00:28:07And maybe you ought to spend a week or two in the hospital, eh?
00:28:10Well, if I might suggest it, sir, I believe he's been working rather hard.
00:28:13And, eh, the month's furlough might snap him out of it.
00:28:16Maybe you're right, Cooper.
00:28:18Wood has needed badly in his unit,
00:28:20especially now that Captain Andrews is sick.
00:28:23And I can't take a chance if he's going stalemate.
00:28:25That'll be all.
00:28:40Hey, you're so, old boy.
00:28:50Hiya, Woody, old Benedict.
00:28:51That's right.
00:28:52Only six more months of bachelorhood.
00:28:54Yeah, and then what'll I do?
00:28:55This dump's been as lonesome as the North Pole for the past month.
00:28:58I guess it means goodbye to the good old days.
00:29:00Ah, but what'll you see, Soapy?
00:29:02Eyes like sapphires, hair like a weaving wheat field,
00:29:06a nose that's a poem, lips the color of the pomegranate,
00:29:09and a complexion like milk.
00:29:11Past your eyes are raw.
00:29:13She's personality personified.
00:29:16Boy, you have got it bad, haven't you?
00:29:17What have we here, mice?
00:29:19No, that's Soapy's Laquita.
00:29:20Soapy's been gadding around,
00:29:21visiting a lot of friends for the last few days,
00:29:23and I've had to mind the pup for her.
00:29:25But she leaves for the East tomorrow,
00:29:27and then my nursemaid days will be over.
00:29:30Looks like she doesn't go for army food.
00:29:32What do you feed him, anyway?
00:29:33I don't know.
00:29:34Let's see.
00:29:35Chihuahua's Mexican.
00:29:37Have you tried to go for army food?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Let's see.
00:29:41Chihuahua's Mexican.
00:29:42Have you tried to go for army food?
00:29:44I don't know.
00:29:45Let's see.
00:29:46Chihuahua's Mexican.
00:29:47Have you tried a hot tamale?
00:29:49That's an idea.
00:29:54By the way, I haven't told you all the news.
00:29:58I dropped in on the old man.
00:30:00He told me the bombing unit is taking off
00:30:02for the maneuvers in San Francisco tomorrow.
00:30:06Andrews is sick.
00:30:07I'm to be captain captain.
00:30:09That's great, Woody.
00:30:10I heard that the doctor grounded Andrews,
00:30:11and it won't be long now until you'll be permanent captain.
00:30:14Well, when I am,
00:30:15you'll get that first lieutenant's birth from the bombing unit.
00:30:18Well, I've got to step on it.
00:30:19I've got a lot of work to do if I'm going to get those planes ready.
00:30:21See you later.
00:30:22So long.
00:30:25Come on, Lakita.
00:30:27It's time for your bath.
00:30:29and there's a telegram that just came in for Lieutenant Wood.
00:30:34What do I do with it?
00:30:36Here's a telegram that just came in for Lieutenant Wood.
00:30:41Here's a telegram that just came in for Lieutenant Wood.
00:30:47What'll I do with it?
00:31:03Relay, it's waiting for the maneuvers.
00:31:05Okay.
00:31:07Don't you want to kiss Lakita goodbye?
00:31:09I'd better not. They say kissing animals is dangerous.
00:31:12You don't mean to tell me you're afraid you'll catch anything from Lakita.
00:31:15Well, not exactly. You see, Lakita's so small,
00:31:18she might get something from me and may not be able to get over it.
00:31:21What?
00:31:23Bye.
00:31:24Bye.
00:31:28I wonder if Lieutenant Wood received my telegram.
00:31:31Maybe he's waiting for you at the hotel, honey.
00:31:33Maybe. Get me a taxi, Ida.
00:31:35Yes, ma'am.
00:31:37Jill's the taxi boy.
00:31:39Come on, Ida.
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:59Won't you allow me?
00:32:00Please allow me.
00:32:13Ida, doesn't that look like Lieutenant Wood?
00:32:15It sure do.
00:32:17Maybe he got mixed up on the train.
00:32:19You wait here a minute.
00:32:20Yes, ma'am.
00:32:28Guess who?
00:32:30Well, it feels like Mary.
00:32:32The perfume is like Amy.
00:32:34But you sound like Sarah.
00:32:35Well, I like that.
00:32:37Well, I like it too.
00:32:39Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:32:40I thought it was somebody else.
00:32:42Well, under these conditions, I wish I were somebody else.
00:32:45I know you'll excuse me.
00:32:47I was expecting to meet another officer.
00:32:49I made a mistake.
00:32:50Wait a minute, you can't walk out of my life like that.
00:32:52Well, I...
00:32:53Well, under these conditions, if you're expecting to meet somebody else and they didn't show up,
00:32:57maybe I can be of some help.
00:32:58Thank you so much, but I'm on my way to the Metropolitan Hotel.
00:33:01You know where the Metropolitan Hotel is?
00:33:03No, but I'm sure the taxi driver does.
00:33:05You don't know these cab drivers and it's dangerous to drive with strangers.
00:33:09Well, after all, I don't know you either.
00:33:11Well, you're going to know me very well.
00:33:25I think you'll find it much more comfortable riding in this car than in a taxi.
00:33:28Yes, thank you.
00:33:29It's very comfortable.
00:33:30It's very comfortable.
00:33:55Nice wigwam you got here.
00:33:57Looks like a bridal suite.
00:34:00All you need now is a groom.
00:34:04Thank you, sir.
00:34:07You shouldn't have done that.
00:34:08I get a kick out of doing things I shouldn't.
00:34:10You're very kind.
00:34:11I don't find it difficult.
00:34:12Well, I guess you want to get settled now and I don't want to be in your way.
00:34:16When am I going to see you again?
00:34:18Why, I...
00:34:19Fine, that's a date.
00:34:20I'll give you a ring.
00:34:21Oh, I forgot the most important thing.
00:34:22You haven't told me your name.
00:34:26My name's Ida Johnson.
00:34:27Glad to know you, Miss Johnson.
00:34:29I'm Tom Cooper.
00:34:30A telephone call from a lady in distress to Grand Field will reach me anytime.
00:34:34I give 24-hour service.
00:34:36Goodbye.
00:34:37I'll be seeing you.
00:34:38How come you give him my name, honey?
00:34:39I thought it would be fun.
00:34:40You didn't?
00:34:41How come you made me a call from a lady in distress to Grand Field will reach me anytime.
00:34:44I give 24-hour service.
00:34:45Goodbye.
00:34:46I'll be seeing you.
00:34:50How come you give him my name, honey?
00:34:52I thought it would be fun.
00:35:10No bad news, is it, honey?
00:35:24All my love and a million kisses.
00:35:28Just show me.
00:35:32All my love and a million kisses.
00:35:35I guess there's nothing for us to do but to stay here.
00:35:38How come you all didn't ask Lieutenant Cooper if he knew Lieutenant Wolfe?
00:35:43I wonder why I didn't.
00:35:46But then, of course, he talked so fast he really didn't give me an opportunity.
00:35:55I'm sorry.
00:36:05I'll have to admit, Tom, you certainly know your country and your moonlight.
00:36:22You shouldn't have done that.
00:36:23I couldn't help it, Ida. I love you.
00:36:25I've loved you since the first minute I saw you at the station.
00:36:28I know I don't amount to much, but next month I come up for a first lieutenancy.
00:36:33And maybe next year I might be a captain.
00:36:37I know, but I can't marry you.
00:36:39Why not?
00:36:40Please don't ask me to answer that.
00:36:42Then there's somebody else?
00:36:44Yes.
00:36:46Gee, that's tough.
00:36:48See, my roommate comes back from San Francisco in the morning and...
00:36:52I thought that if I could tell him that you and I were going to be engaged,
00:36:56get married, he'd get a big kick out of it.
00:36:59We might even have had a double wedding.
00:37:04Who is the fellow?
00:37:05Tom, do you know Lieutenant Richard Wood?
00:37:08Woody? Sure, he's my pal, my buddy.
00:37:10He's the fellow I've been telling you about.
00:37:13He's the fellow...
00:37:15Do you mean...
00:37:17I don't know what you'll think of me.
00:37:20I'm the girl Dick's engaged to.
00:37:23Oh, I've been such a fool.
00:37:25I don't know what ever possessed me to give you my maid's name and not to tell you about Dick.
00:37:30I guess it must have been just that I loved you too from the first minute I saw you.
00:37:34How could you play a rotten trick like this on Woody?
00:37:37Don't blame me, Tom. I've been through enough already.
00:37:40I haven't slept a wink in two nights.
00:37:42Please believe me.
00:37:44I couldn't ever have really loved Woody.
00:37:46What do you do, go around getting engaged to men just for the fun of it?
00:37:49Or maybe you're just like all the rest of them.
00:37:52I guess I don't deserve anything better than that.
00:37:55Please don't be angry with me.
00:37:58I love you. I swear it.
00:38:00I wouldn't want any love or happiness at Woody's expense.
00:38:04All right, Lieutenant Cooper.
00:38:10Would you be so kind as to drive me back to my hotel?
00:38:13No, don't do much.
00:38:37Pearl one, knit one.
00:38:40Honey, if you don't quit walking up and down this low,
00:38:43you're going to make me miss one of these pearls
00:38:45and spoil this time of shatter I was making.
00:38:49I do feel rather nervous.
00:38:50Nervous?
00:38:51You're like a hen on a hot griddle.
00:38:54You ain't nervous, honey.
00:38:55You's in love.
00:38:57Don't be silly.
00:38:58Anyway, why would that bother me?
00:39:00Lieutenant Wood will be back tomorrow.
00:39:02You ain't in love with Lieutenant Wood.
00:39:04Don't talk nonsense, Ida.
00:39:07You only got engaged to Lieutenant Wood
00:39:09because his pappy and your pappy is friends.
00:39:12And Lieutenant Wood loves you
00:39:13and you wasn't in love with nobody else.
00:39:16You're funny, Ida.
00:39:17First you accuse me of being in love
00:39:19and then you try to convince me I'm not.
00:39:21Oh, you was in love, all right.
00:39:22But not with Lieutenant Wood.
00:39:24You was in love with Lieutenant Cooper and you knows it.
00:39:28You're right, Ida.
00:39:29It's an awful mess.
00:39:31I don't know what to do.
00:39:34All you got to do is explain the situation to Lieutenant Woods
00:39:40when he gets back tomorrow.
00:39:43Oh, I couldn't, Ida.
00:39:44I couldn't.
00:39:56I couldn't bear to tell Dick it would break him up terribly.
00:39:59Well, it's better to break one heart now
00:40:01than to bust three later on.
00:40:14Sweetheart.
00:40:18Oh, I thought I never would get back.
00:40:19How have you been, darling?
00:40:20I've been all right, Dick.
00:40:22Oh, it's good to see you.
00:40:24Dick, put me down.
00:40:25Have you been as lonesome as I have?
00:40:30Well, I managed to amuse myself.
00:40:32And besides, you can never get very lonesome with Ida.
00:40:34Good old Ida.
00:40:36How is she?
00:40:36Oh, she's fine.
00:40:37She'll be in in a minute.
00:40:38Well, what have you been doing with yourself?
00:40:41Have you seen much of the city?
00:40:43Yes, quite a bit.
00:40:44Have you been out to the flying field?
00:40:46No, I wanted to, but I never seem to get there.
00:40:48Oh, I could kick myself.
00:40:51If I had only thought, I could have had my pal, Tom Cooper,
00:40:53take you around and show you the sights.
00:40:55Oh, you've got to meet him.
00:40:57He's a grand chap.
00:41:00So what's the matter?
00:41:01Something wrong?
00:41:02Oh, no, it's nothing, Dick.
00:41:04It's sort of stuffy in here.
00:41:06I think I'd like to take a walk.
00:41:08All right.
00:41:09Maybe we could drive out to the field
00:41:11and Tom could have dinner with us in the office's mess.
00:41:13No, I think I'd rather walk.
00:41:15I'll get my hat.
00:41:26Hello, Lieutenant Wood.
00:41:27Hello, Ida.
00:41:28How are you?
00:41:29Just fine.
00:41:30How's you?
00:41:31Oh, I'm always the same, especially when Miss Evelyn's around.
00:41:36Ida.
00:41:37Yes, sir?
00:41:38Don't forget to mail those letters.
00:41:40I almost forgot.
00:41:45Well, now, let's see.
00:41:46You've got your hat, your coat, and your bag.
00:41:49Of course, you can't mail letters without stamps.
00:41:51That's it, stamps.
00:41:52I'll see you later, Lieutenant.
00:41:54I'll see you later, Lieutenant.
00:42:22I'll see you later, Lieutenant.
00:42:25Oh, yes, sir.
00:42:26Goodbye.
00:42:38Well, I'm ready.
00:42:41Evelyn.
00:42:42I'll see you later.
00:42:43I'll see you later.
00:42:44I'll see you later.
00:42:45I'll see you later.
00:42:46I'll see you later.
00:42:47Where did you get this?
00:42:48Well, what difference does it make, Dick?
00:42:50After all, a cake of soap is a cake of soap.
00:42:52But this is different.
00:42:54Evelyn, has Tom Cooper been up here?
00:42:57I'm not going to lie to you, Dick.
00:42:59Yes, he has.
00:43:01Please, let's not talk about it.
00:43:04You mean, I'm supposed to hear that you and Tom have met each other
00:43:11and are trying to conceal it from me,
00:43:13and I'm not to talk about it?
00:43:19How did you meet him?
00:43:20Well, I mistook him for you at the train.
00:43:23He drove me to the hotel.
00:43:25And when he asked me my name, I gave him Idas.
00:43:27Then we went out a few times and...
00:43:29If it was so simple, then why did you try to conceal it from me?
00:43:33Evelyn, I want to know everything.
00:43:36I have a right to know.
00:43:41I didn't want to tell you, Dick.
00:43:43I hate myself for having to.
00:43:45I love Tom.
00:43:47He loves me.
00:43:48We couldn't help it.
00:43:50It just happened.
00:43:53You mean, you meet a man, know him three days,
00:43:56forget about me and everything else, and then fall for him?
00:43:59Maybe you're just like the rest of the girls he picks up and gives soap to.
00:44:05Dick!
00:44:06Then that's the kind of a friend I've got.
00:44:09The minute I turn my back, he steps out with the girl I'm going to marry.
00:44:13The double-crossing, two-timing...
00:44:15Dick! Dick!
00:44:17Please, wait.
00:44:18Hello, Woody, what's new?
00:44:23Get up on your feet.
00:44:24I told you to keep that left up.
00:44:25You're a sucker for a right.
00:44:26No, I'm a sucker for a friend.
00:44:28You...
00:44:29Wait a minute, Woody.
00:44:30Wait a minute.
00:44:31I've seen her.
00:44:32I know all about it.
00:44:33I never knew before I was living with a cheap.
00:44:35No...
00:44:36Listen, old man.
00:44:37I read in the paper that the girl you were engaged to was named Worthington.
00:44:39This girl told me her name was Johnson.
00:44:41She didn't know I was...
00:44:42Just because I've been a sap, I suppose you think I'm going to keep on being one.
00:44:45If you'll only listen, I can explain everything.
00:44:47You're a sucker for a right.
00:44:48You're a sucker for a right.
00:44:49No, I'm a sucker for a friend.
00:44:51You...
00:44:52Wait a minute, Woody.
00:44:53Wait a minute.
00:44:54Wait a minute.
00:44:55I've seen her.
00:44:56I know all about it.
00:44:57I never knew before I was living with a cheap.
00:44:58No...
00:44:59Listen, old man.
00:45:00I read in the paper that the girl you were engaged to was named Worthington.
00:45:02Listen, I can explain everything.
00:45:03What's there to explain?
00:45:05I thought you were my friend and confided in you.
00:45:08You know what that girl meant to me.
00:45:10As soon as I'm out of sight, you pick up with her.
00:45:12Insult my friendship and my fiancƩ by sending her the things you send those other cheap dames.
00:45:17Then you turn her against me, so she admits she loves you.
00:45:20Well, if that's what you and she call love, I don't want any part of it.
00:45:23But, Woody, you're all wrong.
00:45:24All right.
00:45:25That's my business.
00:45:26We're through.
00:45:27I'm going to see the adjutant and move into private quarters as soon as it can be arranged.
00:45:31Come in.
00:45:35Colonel Brooks compliment, sir.
00:45:36He wants to see Lieutenant Wood and Lieutenant Cooper right away.
00:45:39It's important.
00:45:40Very well.
00:45:41You boys have probably read of the stratosphere flight that the Army is planning.
00:45:56Yes, sir.
00:45:57The objectives of the flight are to try, if possible, to better.
00:46:03Commandus settles altitude record of 11 and a half miles.
00:46:11And to study by means of scientific instruments the stratospheric and electrical air conditions at various altitudes.
00:46:22The balloon will be the largest ever constructed and will demonstrate the practicability of such large, lighter-than-air vehicles.
00:46:34It has been my pleasure to learn from Colonel Worthington of West Point, who originated the idea of the flight, that when the ascension takes place, I am to have charge of the undertaking.
00:46:47Of course, it goes without saying that the flight will be a hazardous one.
00:46:53And that the pilots will have little more than 50-50 chance.
00:46:57And that they must realize that considering the value of the balloon and the scientific instruments, that their lives will be of secondary importance.
00:47:13You, Lieutenant Wood, because of your mathematical and scientific training at West Point, would, I am sure, be qualified for the scientific end of the job.
00:47:27And you, Lieutenant Cooper, because of your record in the air, would be eminently qualified to operate the balloon.
00:47:37Yes, sir.
00:47:38Do you think I can depend on you?
00:47:40Why, of course, sir.
00:47:42I don't know how to thank you, but I really can't believe it, sir.
00:47:46You men must act as an absolute unit.
00:47:49And knowing the friendship existing between you, I consider it an added qualification.
00:47:56Yes, sir.
00:47:57All right, gentlemen.
00:48:00I shall communicate my selection to the war department.
00:48:04That will be all, Lieutenant Cooper.
00:48:07You will receive your further communication from, Lieutenant Wood.
00:48:12After I've outlined to him the scientific training and investigation that he will undertake during the next month.
00:48:19Well, let's go.
00:48:31Gee, Woody, that was a great break the Colonel gave us, wasn't it?
00:48:33When you receive this, I shall be on the train en route to New York.
00:48:44I think it's the only logical thing to do.
00:48:47Good luck.
00:48:50Woody, please.
00:49:03We can't let the old man in the outfit down.
00:49:07But I want it understood, definitely, that from now on, the relationship between you and me is strictly that of first and second lieutenant.
00:49:15Nothing more.
00:49:17Anyway.
00:49:18Well, here it is, boys.
00:49:483,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the biggest balloon yet to leave the ground.
00:50:183,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the bag.
00:50:303,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the bag.
00:50:373,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the bag.
00:50:493,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the bag.
00:50:563,500 separate pieces of cloth sewn in the bag.
00:51:17You boys better turn in and get a good rest while we're inflating the balloon.
00:51:22It'll be well into the night before it's up to capacity.
00:51:25Yes, sir.
00:51:26Thank you, sir.
00:51:47My, that's a beautiful sight from here.
00:51:59Yes, it is.
00:52:00And you're going to see the start of a great experiment.
00:52:03The boys expect to get away by dawn.
00:52:06Well, let's go, dear.
00:52:08Well, what do you think, huh?
00:52:31Well, from this morning's weather reports, it looks as though atmospheric conditions will be as good as we'll get for the takeoff.
00:52:40Well, then there's a chance of you making a record, huh?
00:52:43We'll certainly try, sir.
00:52:45Let's go, sir.
00:52:58Will the bag be fully inflated when they take off?
00:53:00No, my dear.
00:53:01Otherwise, the heat of the sun, when it rises, would cause such an expansion of the gas that the covering would burst.
00:53:07How long will it take them to go up?
00:53:09Well, if everything goes all right, the boys ought to be in the stratosphere in three or four hours.
00:53:14Well, let's go over to the gondola.
00:53:16Oh, do you really think I should? It might be embarrassing.
00:53:18Nonsense, dear. Come on, come on.
00:53:24I guess we're ready to start, sir.
00:53:26Well, good luck, my boy.
00:53:27Thank you, sir.
00:53:28And you too, Cooper.
00:53:29Thank you, sir.
00:53:30We'll camp right in the radio room until we know you're down.
00:53:32That's safe.
00:53:33Thank you, sir.
00:53:34Good luck, Dick.
00:53:36Thank you, Riffle.
00:53:38A very successful trip, Tom.
00:53:40Thank you, Miss Johnson. I mean, Miss Worthington.
00:53:44Good luck, boys.
00:53:46Good luck, boys.
00:53:47Good luck, boys.
00:54:09Everything all set?
00:54:10Right.
00:54:20Stand here.
00:54:24Cast off.
00:54:40All right, cut loose the ballast.
00:55:10All right, cut loose the ballast.
00:55:40All right, cut loose the ballast.
00:56:10All right, cut loose the ballast.
00:56:12They've almost reached Commander Settle's record.
00:56:2068,700 feet. About 13 miles. Pretty good, huh?
00:56:34Wood calling Grant Field.
00:56:39Conditions same as previously reported.
00:56:41Ideal for observation.
00:56:43Altitude 68,700 feet.
00:56:46Over 13 miles.
00:56:49If they don't get another foot, that's something to shoot at.
00:56:52If they can get down with those instruments intact,
00:56:54it may mean some startling innovation to science.
00:56:58We'll try another 1,000 feet.
00:57:00They've gone far enough.
00:57:02Tell them to start down.
00:57:04Grant Field calling Lieutenant Wood.
00:57:07Grant Field calling Lieutenant Wood.
00:57:11They want us to start down.
00:57:16What's the altitude?
00:57:1772,000 feet.
00:57:21Almost 14 miles.
00:57:24Start down.
00:57:26Start down.
00:57:27Let's go.
00:57:34Something's wrong with the valve.
00:57:35The gas isn't coming out fast enough.
00:57:36There's nothing wrong with the valve. The gas isn't coming out fast enough.
00:57:40Try it again.
00:57:42There's nothing wrong with the valve. The gas isn't coming out fast enough.
00:57:47Try it again.
00:57:51It's no use. It's stuck. I can't do anything with it.
00:58:12The lightning bolt strikes this bag. We're through.
00:58:19Dad, how far away do you suppose they are now?
00:58:22If the storm has the velocity Wood estimated, they're hundreds of miles, maybe a thousand miles away.
00:58:30Lieutenant Wood.
00:58:32Can't ascertain position. Thunder and lightning, terrific.
00:58:36Low pressure area expanding gas and causing balloon to ascend again.
00:58:42We're rising all right, but not fast enough to get above it. We're still at 38,000 feet.
00:58:49The bag's only half inflated. If we could get out of this low pressure area, we'd be down in a few hours.
00:58:54We've either got to deplete and get below the storm area, or get above it somehow.
00:58:58We can't last long at this altitude.
00:59:01Hill drifting and ascending slowly.
00:59:04Feel confident we'll be able to descend as soon as we leave the low pressure storm area.
00:59:08If the Eastern Weather Bureau report of the storm is true, the boys won't be out of it for another thousand miles.
00:59:15But haven't they got parachutes?
00:59:18Maybe we had better let them use the parachutes.
00:59:24Tell Cooper and Wood that I order them to bail out immediately.
00:59:26Fire. My compliments to Colonel Brooks.
00:59:33Bow into my confidence that I can salvage the scientific instruments, I don't consider it expedient to leave the ship.
00:59:39I am ordering Lieutenant Cooper to bail out.
00:59:40They'll have to be court-martialed when they get down.
00:59:42Yeah? Well, first you've got to get them down.
00:59:44Put on your parachute.
00:59:45No, thanks.
00:59:47I'm your superior officer, and I order you to do it.
00:59:49Yeah, well, if you can disobey your superior officer, I can disobey mine.
00:59:54Dad, you've got to do something.
00:59:56What can we do?
00:59:58Colonel Brooks has ordered them to come down.
01:00:00I don't care.
01:00:01The man I love is a man.
01:00:03I don't care.
01:00:05I don't care.
01:00:06The man I love is up there in that balloon.
01:00:08Well, when you picked Wood, you certainly picked a stubborn man to fall in love with.
01:00:11It isn't Wood.
01:00:13What?
01:00:14It's Tom Cooper.
01:00:16I have it.
01:00:18If they won't listen to us, maybe Cooper will listen to Miss Worthington.
01:00:21Contact the balloon again.
01:00:23All right, then why don't you let me take the chance?
01:00:25I know more about flying this gas bag than you do.
01:00:27Because your life means more than mine.
01:00:29How do you figure that?
01:00:30Evelyn loves you.
01:00:31I know more about flying this gas bag than you do.
01:00:33Because your life means more than mine.
01:00:34How do you figure that?
01:00:35Evelyn loves you.
01:00:36I could tell by the way she acted before we took off.
01:00:39And besides, I heard that slip you made when you called her Miss Johnson.
01:00:43That was enough to convince me your stories were true.
01:00:46And anyway, Soapy.
01:00:48I've been thinking things over.
01:00:50I've acted like a fool.
01:00:52I'll tell you have it, buddy.
01:00:53You were right.
01:00:54Evelyn loves you.
01:00:55I know she does.
01:00:56I tell you that...
01:00:57Wait a minute.
01:00:59Dick.
01:01:00Dick.
01:01:01Please come down.
01:01:02It's Evelyn.
01:01:03You've got to bring Tom down for my sake.
01:01:05Please.
01:01:11You were right, Soapy.
01:01:12She does love me.
01:01:14We're both bailouts.
01:01:16I told you so.
01:01:17Come on, let's go.
01:01:18All right.
01:01:19I'll help you with your shoes.
01:01:20You help me with mine.
01:01:21Okay.
01:01:22I can't hear a thing.
01:01:24I can't hear a thing.
01:01:25I can't hear a thing.
01:01:49We've lost contact.
01:01:55I can't hear a thing.
01:01:57Yes.
01:01:58I can't hear a thing.
01:02:00If you could do anything, you'll have to stop.
01:02:03Come on, let's get out of here.
01:02:05Come on, let's go on with me.
01:02:08We shall let you go.
01:02:09Try and get a little rest if there's nothing more you can do here.
01:02:25All right.
01:02:26Grant Peele calling Lieutenant Wood.
01:02:31Grant Peele calling Lieutenant Wood.
01:02:39Have they heard from Lieutenant Wood?
01:02:43No, I don't know.
01:03:09Why, hello.
01:03:13How are you, Cooper?
01:03:14I was never so glad to see anybody in my life.
01:03:17Have you heard from Lieutenant Wood?
01:03:18Not a thing since you phoned that you were picked up.
01:03:20Have you got the chart you spoke about?
01:03:24This is almost as good as having the instruments themselves.
01:03:27I hope nothing has happened to Lieutenant Wood.
01:03:30He means a lot to me.
01:03:31I know, my boy.
01:03:32But there's a young lady down in the Metropolitan Hotel to whom you mean a lot.
01:03:35Colonel, here's a newsflash.
01:03:37An unidentified balloon has crashed near Quebec, Canada.
01:03:41The pilot is badly cracked up and unconscious.
01:03:44It must be wood.
01:03:45Do you mind, Colonel, if I hop on a plane and...
01:03:47Okay, Chabot.
01:03:52Hello.
01:03:53Get me to the Metropolitan Hotel in a hurry.
01:04:07Take care of my ship, will you?
01:04:08Yes, sir.
01:04:09Where can I get a cab at St. Vincent's Hospital?
01:04:10Find one right over there.
01:04:24Hello, Woody. How are you?
01:04:25Hello, Suppy.
01:04:27Are you badly hurt, Dick?
01:04:28Nothing I won't get over, everyone.
01:04:31Look.
01:04:32I saved one of the instruments.
01:04:34It's still sealed and shows over 18 miles.
01:04:37Say, that'll be an all-time altitude record.
01:04:39Don't you believe it.
01:04:40With what I found out about stratosphere flying,
01:04:43I can show them how to build a balloon that'll ascend 20 miles.
01:04:47Maybe more.
01:04:48Great.
01:04:49When do you think we'll be able to go up?
01:04:52There isn't going to be any wee, Soppy.
01:04:55Stratosphere flying's too dangerous for a married man.
