• Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : [snags Gladys' arm at the naval shipyard]  I phoned you this morning, they told me you checked out and gone to Frisco.

  Gladys Hawkins : So what.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Well, you're not makin' much headway.

  Gladys Hawkins : Mmm, I don't know, I'm doin' alright.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Are yuh? From the looks of your kisser, his aim was awful bad. Who is it?

  Gladys Hawkins : A gentleman.

  [checks mirror in purse and dabs lipstick off of her chin] 

  Gladys Hawkins : And he's awful nice.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Oh, I get it. I don't have to have a house fall on me. So we're washed up, huh? Through?

  Gladys Hawkins : Funny, huh, how quick you catch on.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Who is it, that guy Martin?

  Gladys Hawkins : Maybe.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Well, listen, I'm startin' out right now to catch up, and when I do, it's gonna be too bad.

  Gladys Hawkins : Hmm, you're pretty safe making cracks like that with him on the water.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : What water?

  Gladys Hawkins : He just left on the Arizona for San Pedro.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Well, even so - I'm just showin' up to join the Navy to get even with him.

  Gladys Hawkins : They only want *men* in the Navy.

  Chester (Chesty) O'Connor : Oh yeah? Well, look here, twist. When I catch up with that guy Martin, the Navy's gonna know they made a mistake in takin' him in for a man.

  Gladys Hawkins : Ha!
