Wh Uh, Roger? Why are you worried about him? Is he going with us tonight? Uh, no.
No, he's not.
I did not think so.
And I think I know why.
Hm? Oh, yeah, well, he told us why.
He's, uh He's gotta work tonight.
I do not think that is the real reason.
Master.
I do not believe Major Healey can get a date.
[LAUGHS.]
What? Old Casanova Healey? He can get all the dates he wants.
Oh, I do not think so.
But would that not be a lovely idea? What? If Major Healey could get all the dates he wants.
If all women found him irresistible.
Yeah.
Yeah, I suppose it would.
[LAUGHS.]
Well I shall go home now, master.
I want to get dressed so that Major Healey and his date will think that I am beautiful.
Uh, Jeannie, I told you that, uh, Roger's not going out with us tonight.

Eh, what have you done to Roger? Every girl in town is after him.
[GIGGLES.]
I have made him irresistible.
[LAUGHS.]
What? Roger? Believe me, master.
No woman can keep from falling in love with him.
I saw it done once in a play from Aristophanes.
Oh, there was this man, and Yeah, uh, Jeannie, why did you do it to him? Oh.
Because the reason Major Healey would not come with us tonight was because he was ashamed.
He could not get a date.
Oh.
So you changed all that? Yes, master.
Are you not pleased? You're right, Jeannie, I'm not pleased.
But, why? Well, I don't know, really.
It's I do know that if you did this to him somehow, somewhere, it's got to lead to a disaster.
Oh, no, master.
Not this time.
This time you will see you were wrong.
I have made Major Healey the happiest man in the world.
And And no trouble will come from it.
Believe me.
No trouble.

I'm in love with all of them: Agnes, Ann, Georgia You can't be in love with all of them.
I don't know what it is.
It's like turning a hungry kid loose in a candy store.
Look, I can't get married.
There'll be a mass wave of suicides.
Oh, uh, excuse me.
Yes, sir.
I wonder if I could speak to you a moment, Major Healey.
Oh, certainly, sir.
I don't, uh, quite know how to begin, major but, um Well, if it's about, um, Miss Mrs.
Bellows, sir, why, I Yes, it's about Mrs.
Bellows.
Well, I can assure you, sir, there's Oh, I'm not trying to pin the blame on anyone, major.
As a psychiatrist, I realize how complex these things can be.
Well, sir, it's not just Mrs.
Bellows.
It seems that all the girls But, uh, because of my wife's infatuation, I find it, uh awkward for both of us to be here on the same base.
I agree with you, sir.
It's I think it best if one of us leaves.
Well, I'll miss you, sir.
I'm sorry So, uh, I'm having you transferred to the Aleutians.
The Aleutians? Sir, I've been to the Aleutians.
I wouldn't send my worst enemy to the Aleutians.
I would.
You can plan on leaving in the morning.
I can't go to the Aleutians! I'm getting married Sunday.
[GIGGLES.]
Jeannie? Jeannie, I'd like to talk to you.
Oh.
Hello, master.
You're home early.
Yes, yes.
I have some news for you.
Oh.
Do you remember me telling you that, uh, somehow, somewhere, what you did to Roger would lead to a disaster? Yes.
And you were wrong, were you not, master? No, I were not.
The "somehow" is the mafia, and the "somewhere" is the Aleutians.
I do not understand.
Oh.
Well, you see, uh, Roger, on Sunday, is going to have to marry this gangster's girlfriend.
Only he's not gonna be able to be there, because Dr.
Bellows is sending him to the Aleutian Islands.
Well, that is terrible.
Mm-hm.
How does Major Healey get himself into these things? Jeannie, you've gotta help him.
I know.
I will fix it so that all women hate him.
Then there will be no reason for him to get married or be sent to the Aleutians.
No, you can't do that.
Mm-hm.
No, you Don't, really! Why not? Well, you can't destroy a man's ego.
Couldn't you just make it possible for him to be a little less lovable? Oh.
Well, I I I do not know, master.
It may be too late.
Huh? Excuse me.
Now, where are you? Going.
Yeah Oh.
Jeannie? [SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
Goodbye, Zelda.
Goodbye, Nancy.
Goodbye, girls.
[SIGHS.]
Goodbye, office.
Roger.
Oh, Roger, I just heard.
Oh, take it easy, Mrs.
Bellows.
We're on government property.
Can't bear the thought of your being sent away.
I'll go to the Aleutians with you.
You wouldn't like it.
There's igloos and polar bears.
I love igloos and polar bears.
Oh! Oh, Mrs.
Bellows.
You're You're just gonna have to be brave.
Just gotta hold on.
Oh.
So here you are.
Yes, I was just telling Mrs.
Bellows that she and the other girls are gonna have to do without me.
And, uh, what do you say? What do I say? I say we've been getting along just fine without him all these years.
I think we can continue to do so.
You mean you don't mind if Major Healey leaves? Mind? Darling, why should I mind? Couldn't care less whether he stays or goes.
What about the igloos and the polar bears? Oh, dear.
Maybe you should keep him here.
Keep him under observation.
Well, under the circumstances, major, I don't see there's any point in your going to the Aleutians.
We'll consider that order cancelled.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh! Thank you, sir.
Oh, thank you.
I get chilblain.
Shall we go, dear? Yes.
Goodbye, major.

You better pull yourself together, major.

Hello.
[JIGGLES CRADLE.]
[LAUGHS.]
Jeannie, you did the one single thing I asked you not to do.
But the problem is solved.
No, it's not.
It's not solved at all.
It's worse than ever.
Do you know what it means not to be loved? Well, yes.
But I fixed it Poor Roger must be shattered.
Oh, no, master.
Major Healey feels very loved.
How could he? There's not a girl in the world who would speak to him.
Well, I [FRANTIC KNOCKING AT DOOR.]
ROGER: Tony! Tony, open up! What's the matter? What's the matter? Oh.
Oh, Tony, help me.
Huh? Why? What's the matter? They're after me! TONY: Jeannie, I thought you said you fixed that! Oh, I did.
I did, master.
