Lady Lou: You know, I always did like a man in a uniform. That one fits you grand.  Why don't you come up sometime and see me...I'm home every evening.

Captain Cummings: I'm busy every evening.

Lady Lou: Busy? So what are you trying to do, insult me?

Captain Cummings: Why no! Not at all. I'm just busy, that's all. You see, we're holding meetings in Jacobsen's Hall every evening. Anytime you have a moment to spare, I'd be glad to have you drop in. You're more than welcome.

Lady Lou: I heard you. But you ain't kidding me any. You know, I've met your kind before. Why don't you come up sometime, huh?

Captain Cummings: Well, I...

Lady Lou: Don't be afraid, I won't tell. Come up, I'll tell your fortune.
