Now, Jethro, are you sure joining the Marines is what you want to do?

No, sir.

What I want to do is be a spy.

Miss Jane says I got to graduate college first.

Chucks, by then I'll be too old to do any of that double knot hugging and kissing, or even fighting.

I'll be pretty near 25.

Yeah, that's over the hill, all right.

Hey, Pa, can I fetch home me a swimming critter from Marine Land?

We'll see, Ellie.

Jethro ain't even joined yet.

Well, how about if and I join the Marines, too?

Well, I'm afraid not, Ellie.

It says here in the paper that they can build men, but I don't see how they can build one out of you.

Come along, get through.

I wonder where I'd go to volunteer, though.

They've assigned you under a net there, Finn.

Let's drive up there.

Wanted.

The boy has graduated school.

Highest in my class too.
