Philadelphia Thursday
- [Philadelphia is visiting in the home of the O'Rourke's - Col. Thursday comes in, displeased]
- Lt. Col. Thursday: Come, Phil.
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: Col. Thursday, sir, I would like...
- Lt. Col. Thursday: Mr. O'Rourke, I want no words with you at this time.
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: But, Colonel, sir...
- Lt. Col. Thursday: You heard me, sir. Now get out of here before I say something I may regret.
- RSM Mchael O'Rourke: This is my home, Colonel Owen Thursday. And in my home I will say who is to get out and who is to stay. And I will remind the Colonel that his presence here - uninvited - is contrary to Army regulations... not to mention the code of a well-mannered man!
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: Dad, please. Col. Thursday, sir, what I've been trying to tell you, sir, is that I love your daughter; and I ask her now, in your presence,
- [turns to Philadelphia]
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: to be my wife.
- Philadelphia Thursday: Yes, Michael.
- Captain Yorke: Were you born in Philadelphia?
- Philadelphia Thursday: No, Pomfret, Connecticut. I was named after my mother.
- Captain Yorke: Oh, she was born in Philadelphia?
- Philadelphia Thursday: No, Pawtucket, Rhode Island. She was named after grandmother. Grandmother was the first Philadelphia in our family.
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: Oh, then she was...
- Philadelphia Thursday: No, Provincetown, Massachusetts.
- Captain Yorke: [quoting regulations] "An officer, upon reporting to a new post, must wait upon his commanding officer at the first possible moment. He will leave his card."
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: [continuing to quote the regulation] "He will leave an additional card for each lady in the commanding officer's family."
- Captain Yorke: [continuing] "All other officers on the post will, in turn, leave their cards at the quarters of the incoming officer."
- [to O'Rourke]
- Captain Yorke: Right?
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: Right!
- [to Philadelphia]
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: Now do you understand?
- Philadelphia Thursday: It was just a duty call?
- Captain Yorke: That's it - just a duty call. But there's nothing in the regulations that says the commanding officer's daughter should receive such cards on her backporch... in her nightie.
- Philadelphia Thursday: Pish tosh! This is not a nightie.
- [to O'Rourke]
- Philadelphia Thursday: It's a dressing gown, isn't it?
- 2nd Lt. Michael O'Rourke: I wouldn't know.
