Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
Colonel, I'm sending Major Moore as your co-pilot.
Col. Briteis:
Bill Moore? Oh no General, you can't!
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
And why not?
Col. Briteis:
The big lug hates me, he's jealous of me.
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
Now you listen to me, 'Brighteyes'...
Col. Briteis:
"Bright-ice", if you please...
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
Shut up BrightEYES, and listen to me! Major Moore is the best pilot we've got, better than you are!
Col. Briteis:
But, I don't understand why you...
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
PIPE DOWN! If he weighed 90 pounds instead of 180, he'd be a Colonel and a public hero and you'd still be a Captain. But you got the orbiting flight, you got the ticker tape parade and all the rest. Ever since then you've been too big for your britches. Get me?
[Turns away from her]
Col. Briteis:
No, I WON'T!
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
[Turns and walks towards her, facing her to step back as he talks]
ONE: Colonels don't say, "No", to Generals! TWO: You're not a superwoman, you're a spoiled brat! THREE: Anymore guff out of you and I'll turn you over my knee and spank you.
Col. Briteis:
[Nervous]
If you do, I'll shout the place down.
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
I might add that this room is sound-proof.
Col. Briteis:
[Scared]
You wouldn't dare!
Gen. 'Pappy' Greene:
You wanna try me?
Col. Briteis:
No. No sir.
