The Dawn Patrol1938

Phipps:
[Whimsically after reading a letter from home] You know, Brand, it'd be awfully nice if we had a dog around here in the mornings to come in and cheer us up.

Phipps:
[Whistling and talking to an imagined dog] Here! Come on, fella! Come on here! Mind your muddy feet. Come on!

Maj. Brand:
[Brand has been deep in thought and only now realizes Phipps is talking] What you doing?

Phipps:
Uh, the dog.

Maj. Brand:
Dog? What dog? Where?

Phipps:
No, I say it would be nice if we had a dog to come in here in the mornings to sort of cheer us up, you know? And... [He mutters as he realizes Brand has not been listening to him]

Phipps:
[He kisses the letter] I thought it would be sort of cozy, you know.

Maj. Brand:
[Brand eventually realizes what Phipps has been saying and he smiles faintly]
