I Dream of Jeannie

Thank you, Tony. MAN 2: Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

How are you feeling, Tony?

Uh, kind of eager, sir.

Aw, he's a lucky devil.

You wouldn't want to

sit this one out, would you?

No, thanks. It's my baby.

Everything checks out, general.

Good. Uh, Melissa asked me

to give you her love.

She wanted to come and see you off herself,

but I don't break regulations, not even for my own daughter.

No, sir. I understand.

Tony, this is your week.

Up in orbit today

and marrying Melissa on Sunday.

We'll throw you a bachelor party

when you get back.

All systems A-okay.

Ten seconds to firing.

Nine, eight,

seven, six, five,

four, three, two,

one, zero...

Liftoff.

Go. Go.

Status, Control...

Keep going. What happened?

Final stage misfired.

He won't be able to maintain orbit.

Control to Stardust One. Control to Stardust One.

Come in, Tony.

Stardust One to Control...

Final-stage rocket misfired.

We're gonna have to bring you back. Stand by.

This to General Stone. We have an emergency.

Stardust One is coming down.

Alert the Seventh Fleet.

Oh...

I must have gone further into orbit than I thought.

Well, I've read about genies,

but I never thought they really...

It's like something out of the Arabian Nights.

Do you know, I suppose if I didn't come along,

you'd still be in this.

Wait a minute.

I rescued you.

I rescued... That...

That means I get a free wish or something.

Uh, genies do that, don't they?

Well, of course they do.

Yeah, uh, genie, uh,

I'll tell you what I wish.

I wish there was a big, beautiful P2V

right up in the sky, over my head right now.

I have to get a genie that doesn't speak English...

Airplane, airplane.

Um, airplane...

You know, uh... It's up in the sky.

Up there, see? Uh...

Uh, yes, yes, yes. All right.

No, no. No, no, no, no,

No, no, Jeannie. Ta-take it away.

Yeah. Yeah. That was a...

All right.

All right, look, forget about the airplane.

I wish for a ship, Jeannie.

A...

A-a boat...

A boat i-in the water, in the ocean.

Uh... Like this.

Uh, a... A ship.

Ah.

Yes, yes.

You're older than you look.

No. No, it's...

It's not right, Jeannie.

It's not right. Take it away.

Jeannie, I wish you could speak English.

Somehow I must find a way to please thee, master.

Forget it. You'll never be able to please me

as long as you don't understa...

You spoke English.

Tha-that's all I had to do was say,

"I wish."

Thou may ask anything of thy slave, master.

Tha-that's very kind of you. I...

I actually don't need anything at the moment. Uh...

Yes, I do. I need a helicopter.

Helicopter? Uh, yes, a helicopter.

It's a...

Well, it's like an airplane, and it's big.

And it's... It's noisy.

And... Well, it has blades on top.

Shh-shh-shh-shh.

Makes that kind of a noise.

Yeah, yeah. That's a helicopter.

That's a helicop... That's a helicopter!

That is a helicopter!

Hey! Hey!

Jeannie, you're marvelous.

I don't know how to thank you.

I will teach thee, master.

Wait a minute, Jeannie.

But I... I gotta get my gear.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, boy.

Wait till I get you back to the base.

Oh, I'll travel anywhere with thee, master.

Sure. Sure.

Oh, wait till General Stone sees you.

Jeannie, I'll never be able to explain you.

Well, I...

I'm setting you free.

Oh, thou hast set me free, master.

Now I belong to thee.

No, no, no, no. You don't understand. Uh...

I rescued you, and you rescued me. We're even.

I'm going home now, and...

You... You go wherever you go.

Okay?

Goodbye, Jeannie.

Goodbye.

Hey! Hey!

Are you a welcome sight.

Well, so are you. Hey.

The whole world is wondering where you are right now.

Well, I was kind of wondering myself. Where am I?

Well, uh... I'm not quite sure.

Storm blew us off-course.

So how did you find me?

Instinct, captain. Instinct.

Come on, let's go get your gear. Yeah.

Yeah, I can't wait to get out of here.

What, did you lose something?

No. No, no, it's all right.

You say something?

Hm?

Did you say anything?

No. Come on, let's go.

I'm always fascinated

by these local courtship customs.

Hello, Dr. Bellows.

Melissa, would you excuse us

while your fiancé and I have a chat?

I'll, uh, wait for you outside.

I'll drive you home?

Wonderful. Heh.

Doctor. Hm.

Well, um...

I just checked over your report.

You don't seem to have suffered any physical aftereffects.

No, sir.

No emotional aftereffects?

Oh... not exactly.

But something.

Oh... Well, it was...

It was nothing really.

I...

I sort of had a... hallucination.

Did you?

Yes. Yes, um...

I-I'd been floating around up there,

and I suppose I was dizzy, and...

And that, in combination with a lack of oxygen and worry,

and... And wishful thinking... Uh-huh.

Uh, wel... She seemed very real to me at the time.

Of course, I know now that it was just my subconscious.

I knew I was off the beaten track,

and that I might never be found, and...

When I saw that bottle on the beach, I...

I hallucinated a genie out of it.

A genie?

Yes.

Oh, uh... a girl genie.

A girl genie?

Yes.

What was this genie like?

Oh, she was...

Uh, just your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill genie.

Of course.

Beautiful?

Yes, yeah.

Desirable?

And helpful? Yes, yes.
