I Dream of Jeannie1965

Gen. Wingard Stone:
[Upon the sudden arrival of General Stone and Dr Bellows, Tony has hidden Jeannie's bottle in a garbage can] Dr Bellows tells me you had a hallucination back on that island.

Major Nelson:
Um, you really didn't need to tell the General that, sir.

Col. Alfred E. Bellows, MD:
I'm only trying to safeguard the welfare of my astronauts, Captain.

Major Nelson:
But I'm fine now sir, really. There's no girl in a bottle. [just notices that a garbage truck has just pulled up and 2 garbagemen have emptied the trash can with Jeannie's bottle in it into the compactor] STOP! Wait! There's a girl in there! [runs over whilst Dr Bellows and the General look on]

First Garbage Man:
[sarcastically] Oh really? She must have slipped past us.

Major Nelson:
No, really. There's a girl in there! She's in a bottle! [Garbage men ignore him. The trash compactor starts up] STOP! STOP! You'll kill her! I - I'll buy the garbage from you!

First Garbage Man:
[to his colleague] Charge for garbage?

Second Garbage Man:
Well, this is a good neighbourhood, we got a good grade of garbage.

Major Nelson:
Here, I'll give you $20 [gives him the money] Jeannie! Jeannie! [rummages through the garbage in the truck] Jeannie, speak to me! [finds bottle] Ah! Here she is.

Col. Alfred E. Bellows, MD:
[Dr Bellows and General Stone have been watching all this in bemusement] Come with us, Captain Nelson, we'll buy you all the garbage you want.
