:18:00
I waited all day
for that one moment

:18:03
when I'd get
to kiss her.

:18:05
Finally, it was time
for the scene to be shot.

:18:09
We took our places.
:18:10
She was wearing the most beautiful
black negligee.

:18:13
Lovely...
:18:15
revealing.
:18:17
Her hair was swept back
from her forehead.

:18:19
Her eyes
were partly closed.

:18:21
I took her
into my arms...

:18:23
Go on.
Kiss her, you dope!

:18:26
The hairdresser yelled,
:18:27
''You're mussing up
her hairdo.''

:18:29
The director screamed, '' Move your arm.
You're tilting her collar.''

:18:33
The cameraman said,
''I can't see her nose.''

:18:35
So I kissed her off-center
and smacked the air.

:18:38
If you want
to kiss a girl right,

:18:40
you got
to join the navy.

:18:42
Hey! You can't
get away with that!

:18:47
Hey! Hey! Gather 'round.
:18:48
I want
to tell you something.

:18:51
Your worries are over.
:18:53
Listen to the voice
of Superman.

:18:57
I'll tell you what
I'm going to do.

:19:00
I'll fly my TBF
clear to Tokyo.

:19:03
Throw a rope
around Tojo's neck,

:19:05
like I roped coyotes
back in Texas.

:19:08
I'll drag that
monkey to 1 5,000 feet

:19:11
and drop him
like a bomb...

:19:13
Very funny.
:19:14
I wouldn't want
to bore you guys

:19:17
with what I'm
really going to do.

:19:20
It sure takes
a load off our minds.

:19:22
That guy there
might possibly give you

:19:24
a few pointers.
:19:26
He's only shot down
three Zeros.

:19:29
I'm just a bag of wind
from Texas.

:19:32
I must sound funny
:19:33
to a guy who's done
the things you've done.

:19:36
How do you feel
:19:37
when those meatballs
come at you?

:19:40
I didn't see them
:19:41
until they were
pretty close.

:19:42
Did they attack
from above?

:19:44
From below.
:19:45
They missed
with their first pass.

:19:46
They say they can attack,
pull out,

:19:49
and dive again
before you see them.

:19:51
Slow but with
maneuverability?

:19:52
I don't know, really--
:19:54
They machine-gun you
on the way down?

:19:57
I'm writing my memoirs
:19:58
for the Saturday Evening Post.
