And very pleasant it is too, here in the beautiful white sunshine of the port deck. with the blue panel of the sea to watch and a good song rising clear. Where Father Donnelly, Notre Dame 1917, all American fullback for two years, now simply Chaplain Donnelly, is working the second shift. Say, Sammy, your voice is OK. Why not? My father was a cantor in the synagogue.

Pleasant too to stretch out in the calm tropical night. with the lapping of the waves beating a soft, faint obbligato to our song. They're a great bunch of kids, Father. - They'll do all right. - Mm hm. Any news yet as to where we're headed? Even the colonel doesn't know that.

- Hot, ain't it?  - Yeah. Hotter than a Texas cattle car in August. - So you think it's hot, do you?  - Yeah. How would you like  a nice tall glass of ice cold beer? Beer. Strictly a middle class beverage. The last time I was in Brooklyn  it was just such a night as this. We was having cocktails. The old lady brought them in,  I took one taste, and boy, what a kick. - You know what she did?  - What? She took 'em out and  put in another slug of gin. - What a sweet old lady.  - Yeah. - Well,...

Hey, Taxi, what time is it back home now anyway? - How many hours' difference is there? - 19 between here and San Francisco. And three more to home. But I never can tell which way it is.
