A man in uniform and a woman in civilian dress interact in an office-like interior; the transcript describes confusion over protocol and changing roles after 1700 hours. A second woman in uniform is seen standing for the civilian woman, and a man sits on a couch while another woman sits in the background.

“It was only a little thing, but it was so confusing. I have to stop and think these days, because I can't remember when I'm supposed to open the door and when I'm not. All day long I open doors.” 6:47 · “and stand when I talk to the officers I work with. After a while you get used to that. But I get kind of confused because after 1700 hours this little pumpkin changes and becomes the lady.” 7:00 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
