Yes, sir.
Hello, Dr.
Bellows.
Oh.
Would you mind telling me what you were doing in that fountain? Oh, just your average Hawaiian rain dance, sir.
Did you say you were doing a rain dance? Uh, yes, sir.
One of our Hawaiian friends was teaching us some of the chants of the island.
Once it's raining, there's no sense hanging around.
Very good seeing you, sir.
Come on, Roge.
They made it rain? [SHOUTING.]

Roger, will you forget about the beautiful girls.
We got important things to do Forget the beautiful girls on the beach? Why did you have to send for him? I didn't send for him.
Jeannie Now, don't start Why don't we call the police, and they'll send out an alarm When they find him, you can explain who he is.

It was incredible.
Why? Where is he? Where can we find him? Whe-where's who, sir? That native fellow you were dancing with.
The rainmaker.
Don't you realize if he went to Washington with us, have you any idea what it would mean? It would certainly shake up the boys in meteorology.
Well, I think so.
Predicting the weather is one thing, but making the weather? Why, we're just beginning to experiment.
Of course, you'd have to do it with a straight face.
A straight face? Especially when they point out to you that here in the tropics, it can be sun shining one minute and pouring down rain the next.
Could it have been a coincidence? It's a great practical joke, sir.
I can see the expression on the scientist's face, and the generals are standing around watching this guy [CHANTING IN HAWAIIAN.]
I didn't know the general had that sense of humor.
Ah.
He hasn't.
[LAUGHS.]
And this is gonna be a very expensive joke.
Flying this guy to Washington.
