Captain Pringle reporting, sir.
:10:05
Congresswoman Frost,
this is Captain Pringle.
:10:08
Thank you. This is for you,
Captain Pringle. Happy birthday.
:10:11
Or happy birthday yesterday.
I thought I could deliver it on time
:10:15
but we were held up
in Newfoundland for 16 hours - fog.
:10:18
- You brought this from America?
- Murdoch, Iowa.
:10:21
Well, how is good old Iowa?
:10:24
62°% Republican, thank you.
:10:26
I was entrusted with this by a constituent,
or rather, his daughter.
:10:30
I hope it's still in one piece. Open it.
:10:33
Be glad.
:10:43
Well, what do you know? Little Dusty.
:10:48
It's a beauty.
:10:50
I didn't know it was so personal.
:10:52
Her name is really Pauline Rose
but we call her Dusty. Some joke.
:10:57
- How long since you've seen her?
- Dusty? Four years.
:11:00
Don't these boys ever get home?
Can't they be given a short leave?
:11:04
- Certainly, if it's accrued.
- I don't want any leave.
:11:07
- You don't?
- Oh, of course I do. Dying to.
:11:10
We're all homesick
but personal feelings don't matter.
:11:13
There's unfinished business here.
:11:15
Now that we've won the war,
we mustn't lose the peace.
:11:18
I hate to think of anybody
sitting in his lonely barracks
:11:22
with a birthday cake on his knees.
:11:23
I won't have the cake on my knees.
I won't be alone.
:11:28
There'll be my buddies. I'll call them in.
:11:30
We'll open up a case of root beer,
light the candles,
:11:33
then Frankovitch and his ukulele.
:11:35
Some old songs.
Why, it'll be like back home... almost.
:11:39
Good to hear you talk like that.
:11:41
General Finney wants you to go in his car.
:11:43
I'll be right with you.
:11:45
If you're a sample of the spirit
prevailing in Berlin, I feel better already.
:11:49
- I'm a sample, all right.
- Goodbye.
:11:57
You're losing something, Captain Pringle.
