23 1/2 Hours Leave (1937) - full transcript
Army training Sgt. Gray makes a bet that he can get himself invited to breakfast with his commanding officer, General Markley. But he gets into an unhappy tangle with a couple of enemy spies (and a happy tangle with the general's daughter) before the bet is finally decided.
Roll out you dirty horsemen.
Stop!
My favorite dream, and you
had to blow that whistle.
Quiet.
Oh, gorgeous.
Big round beautiful.
Quiet!
A hot delicious apple pie.
And you blow that whistle.
Quiet!
I can still hear ya.
Oh boy is my back broke!
Do we have to that gun again today?
Yeah, and all we do is walk.
I joined the Calvary
so's I could ride.
Ain't you been informed?
This is the unmounted Calvary.
Unmounted is right.
Ain't they cute in their nighties.
Yeah!
Cute little rascals.
Hey, do you want to
make anything out of it?
Sure, the upstairs gag is
at your service any time,
just ask for it.
We'll ask but we won't
send you an invitation.
Come on!
That's showing those guys
where they get off at.
Hey gang.
Pipe the lark that trills so
pretty at the break of day,
will ya?
Sgt. Gray.
Attention!
By the number.
One, two,
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
As you were.
Remember, the General sleeps 'til 10.
Did you try them
bending over exercises?
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me
to face the radiator?
Now, give me my coat!
Them exercises sure will
improve your disposition.
Uh, indigestion, Sir!
Don't I ride hoseback to the
Camp [inaudible] every day?
Yes, Sir.
But then it's the horse
gets all the exercising.
I'll take care of
who gets the exercise.
General, Sir!
We forgot your shirt.
We forgot my shirt?
Yes.
Sam!
You good for nothing, lazy!
Someday I'm going to take
you apart piece by piece!
And I suppose we
forgot to take the pins out!
- Good morning, Tommy!
- Good morning.
- Did you see it?
- The car?
Come on.
Brand new, like it?
I like the both of you.
Aw.
Now you've got the
shirt on over my suspenders!
That's the General's
mood this morning.
And he hasn't even seen the car yet.
You bought it without asking?
Uh huh.
Well you've picked a fine
day to break the news to him.
Ooh, maybe I better vanish.
Ha ha.
The general's daughter
retreating under fire?
You tell me what to do.
You've studied strategy.
Remove the evidence
til after breakfast.
Right.
Peggy!
Good morning Daddy.
What are you doing up so early?
Breakfast with the General.
Breakfast?
Don't want any.
Daddy!
No, I'm late now.
War on my hands, no time.
General you've said repeatedly.
An army marches on it's stomach.
Napoleon said it first.
You're going to have breakfast.
No I'm...
Please.
All right, I'll eat it,
But I won't enjoy it.
You're the sweetest daddy
in this beautiful old world!
Who says the beautiful world?
Good morning, Tommy.
Good morning, Sir.
Now Tommy are the horses there?
Whose car is that?
Yours, Tommy?
No, Sir.
It's ours!
What?
Yes!
We just bought it.
Only $70 a month.
What was the full price?
Well, $79 a month, but that includes
insurance and everything.
The full price.
Just a teeny-weeny bit over $3000.
A teeny-ween bit over my dead body!
Be careful daddy,
you'll have apoplexy.
Well, I will if I want to!
Home from school only two
days and I'm in hot for $3000!
Tommy!
Call up that agency, tell
them to the take it away.
I believe it's rather early
to call the agency, Sir.
Well, then, later.
But call them!
Yes.
Now then.
What's for breakfast?
Wheat cakes, Sir.
Wheat cakes.
Every day for a week.
In this great big country
there must be one egg.
Sgt. Gray, how
many times have you
been ordered to report for inspection
during the past two weeks?
Three times, Sir.
You'd soon get to know me well enough
to call me by my first name.
Yes, Sir.
What?
I-I... mean, I mean, No, Sir.
It appears you over
slept this morning.
Yes, Sir.
Not overworking you I hope.
No Sir.
I didn't hear the first call, Sir.
[inaudible]
No, Sir.
Well haven't you a
reasonable excuse to offer?
Yes.
Yes, Sir.
The man in the cot next to
me kept me awake all night.
Doing what?
Snoring Sir.
That's the best excuse
you can think of?
Yes, Sir.
Well if this occurs again you will
be denied leave for an
entire month, you understand?
Yes, Sir.
Well that's all.
Yes, Sir.
Oh.
Two prunes.
Old prunes with wrinkles.
We declared war against the wrong guy.
Prunes, why don't they
give us a breakfast
like I used to get at home?
Everything from soup and... thank you.
Hey [inaudible].
Did you page me, Sir?
You's got any more of these gaskets?
Yeah, we're just fresh out.
Heh.
You [inaudible] Robert
give me a pain in the neck.
That's nice work if you
can get away with it.
Listen, buddy, Gray's won
enough bets from us guys
to pay for a million flap jacks.
The guy's draped with horseshoes
and festooned with four leaf clovers.
Yeah, but he never fails
to loan a pal dough.
Yeah, and he never
fails to collect either.
Hey, you've got a nerve,
taking Gray's cakes.
Hey, taint fair to cheat
a buddy out of patty cakes.
I'll mind this one for him.
Where is that sleepy sergeant?
Ah, he's in Conference
with the officer of the day.
Probably working on a plan
for having his breakfast
served in bed, the lucky stiff.
- Hello, General!
- [inaudible]
- [inaudible]
- [inaudible]
[inaudible]
[inaudible], old boy?
As you were, men.
We were so upset Robert, when
you was late for breakfast,
your orange juice got warm
and you patty cakes got cold.
Oh, it's OK.
I don't miss the gaskets anyhow.
Oh, no?
No.
As a matter of fact, I was
thinking very sorrowfully
of you boys this morning
as the officer-of-the-day
and I dallied over breakfast.
What, only the OD?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I thought you'd invited
the general staff.
Gray, do you want to bet me
you had breakfast with the OD?
- Wait, I'm in on that.
- And me.
Me too.
Oh, all set for a killing, eh?
Well I'll go you one better than that.
I'll lay ya even money,
Yeah.
That I'll have breakfast
with the General.
Oh, sure, maybe after the war.
No, within a month.
And will that breakfast include
patty cakes for the sergeant?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
He will have roast pheasant on toast,
You mean roast mule on bran.
Listen, you mugs.
Even money I have
breakfast with the General,
including patty cakes.
How about that?
Ho, Ho, what, no takers?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm disappointed.
How would a two to one
bet interest you pikers?
Come on!
Five will get you ten.
Oh, no, not me.
You're taking me to
the cleaners too often.
Yeah, maybe I haven't
been hooked for plenty.
Hey, for a guy that just
had breakfast with the OD,
you seem mighty hungry to me.
Prunes arouse the sergeant in me.
Yeah, that's more than Reveille does.
You know, Mugs?
I wouldn't be surprised
if we sailed in a week.
Anybody want to bet?
I'm through being a sucker.
Yeah, it's the way he springs
them bets that gets me.
Like that.
And before you know it.
You bite.
And you're hooked.
Boy, you're stupideous.
Ha, ha, ha.
Payday!
We happen to be in the Army.
What would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the
Army, there'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy.
What would the Army be if we ever
happened to be in the
Navy, there'd be no Army.
But when there's work to
be done, it's one for all,
and all for one.
The Navy needs the Army,
and all we need is a gun!
It's luck that we are in the Army
if we had all gone to sea,
where would the Army be?
That's the question,
here's the answer.
The Army would be
darn sight better off.
We're happy to be in the Army.
Where would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the
Army, there'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy.
Where would the Army be if we ever
happened to be in the
Navy, there'd be no Army.

The Navy needs the Army,
and all we need is a gun!
It's lucky that we are in the Army.
If we had all gone to sea,
where would the Army be?
That's the question,
here's the answer.
The Army would be a
darn sight better off.
Hey!
Outside, fall in.
Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
What's this, what's this?
That's the $10.
Oh, yeah, sure.
What about the other three?
How about the two bucks you borrowed
from me Wednesday night.
Come on, give.
Aw, yeah.
Hey, you still owe
me for that sweater.
Didn't I pay ya?
No, you didn't.
Come on, come one, two bucks.
Hey, just a second.
You remember a week ago Sunday?
What about it, what about it.
Who paid the check on
that Chinese restaurant?
Huh?
I did You owe me for half.
Hey it was two bucks wasn't it?
Yeah.
Hey, I've been gypped!
This is my own two bucks!
So what?
You paid me, I gave it to
him, he gave it to you.
What do you mean?
All right chumps.
Line up and shell out.
The little memo book reads,
Brother Beans bets wrong,
eleven bucks.
Thank you Brother Beans.
Better luck next time.
There'll be no next time.
I'll bet ya five bucks.
Ah, no.
Sgt. Gray presents
his [inaudible]
to Mr. Sgt. Tubbs and requests
the payment of five bucks.
My dear Sergeant Tubbs.
Do you really believe one buck
is worth a sock in the eye?
That's squares us pal.
Yeah.
Just a minute Jake.
It's all there, count it.
There's a whole month's pay.
Yeah, I know, I should
have only bet half as much.
Supposing I'd lost?
But, you can't do this.
Who says I can't?
I guess I know when I bet too much.
Gee, thanks.
Brother Turner owes $16.
Why you double crossing,
patty cake lifter!
Attention!
Attention!
Did I get it or, did I

Hey, did you Gray tell the
old man where to head in?
I thought it was the General telling...
Aw, don't you know Gray's voice yet?
Sure, he does Why Gray talks
so low you can hardly hear him.
Well, you might as
well keep the change.
Come on... eight.
Eight's right.
That was a nine.
It was an eight I tell ya.
That was a nine!
You're going to believe
me or what you saw?
I guess you're right.
You'll always speak twice
before you think anyhow.
I'll take a dime.
I'll take a nickle.
I'll take
the other dime.

hard one to miss.
Come on four.
Quarter

Like this my friend!
Oh, Oh boy!
Say, you're lucky in everything.
Ah, she's a sweet kid Beans.
You know, real and homey.
And a good sport too!
We grew up together, neighbors.
We used to go every place together.
You know, Beans.
I think I ought to get
married before going across.
You know, that sounds
like a good idea to me.
I'm going to wire her right
away, cut me a piece of paper.
Sure, here and, uh, good luck.
Hey, how would you address
your future wife in a telegram?
Hey fellas!
Latest war bulletin!
Gray's just announced his wedding.
Bologna, no girl's dumb enough.
She thinks I'm the only
sergeant in the Army.
Well, of course, if she's that dumb.

Oh.
Probably from the General.
Sure.
It says, "Dear pal Gray,
can I have the pleasure of
your company at breakfast?
Affectionately yours, The General.
P.S. We will have patty
cakes."
Thank you, lad.
Thanks.
Boo!
Ya!
What's the matter buddy?
Bad news?
No, of course not.
But then, what are you

Sad?
Oh, I... I, uh, just
received a mild shock.
They, uh, They've just
struck oil on my Texas ranch.
Did they bring in a gusher?
Twenty thou...

At ease!
September 13, 1917, Flores.
The following men are
given 23 1/2 hours
leave beginning at 10:00 a.m.
on September 15 and
they get 9:30 a.m.
On September 16.
Sgt. Solomon, Sgt. Banning,
Sgt. Gray, Sgt. Turner,
Sgt. Johnson, Sgt. Scriff.
Well shoot, shoot don't
wait until morning.
Just planning my line
of attack General.
All right, go ahead and attack.
OK, Hello, Captain.
Hello.
- Hey what are you doing?
- Hello, Tommy.- Out in the rain?
Business, for the taxi.
Ah.
Cost me over $3000, a taxi.
Uh-huh.
Too much English there, Captain.
Tommy, did you bring the orders?
Yes, Sir.
This first one's marked
special and urgent, sir.
Hm.
War department.
The intelligence department
again reports that enemy agents
active in the vicinity of your command
continue to obtain information
regarding troop embarkations
and other secret matters.
Apparently traceable to
leaks, or carelessness,
within your own division.
You're instructed, and so
forth, to take immediate steps,
and so forth...
By George, this is serious.
Leaks or carelessness
within your own division.
Secret agents, they're
spies aren't they?
Spies?
Of course they're spies.
That's the second
notice, isn't it Sir.
No, third, but we
won't discuss it now.
Tommy, issue an order that
the staff meets tomorrow.
Yes, Sir.
I thought you said your taxi service
was for enlisted men only.
How does Tommy rate a ride?
He's an officer you know.
Yes, How about that Peg?
It's after hours.
And besides, Tommy doesn't count.
That's right.
You should
stick to officers.
Why?
You're the
general's daughter.
I never forget that.
That's the stuff Peg.
Just the same.
It's bad for the men,
it weakens their moral.
Giving them a ride
weakens their moral?
Of course.
You, the General's daughter?
Discipline's bad enough as it is.
By the way I heard that
one of the non-coms
made a bet that he'd
have breakfast with you.
With me?
A non-com?
Tommy, You heard anything about this?
Yes, Sir.
The bet was that he'd not
only eat breakfast with you
within 30 days, but that
you'd also serve him
with, well, with patty cakes.
Patty cakes?
Yes, Sir.
Patty cakes.
Well for crying out loud.
I'll be a spotted monkey.
Patty cakes!
General's staff meets sharp at 5.
Yes, Sir.
Right, Sergeant, headquarters.
Captain.
Well, uh, Thanks for the lift, miss.
Yeah, that, that goes for me too.
And me too.
It was sure nice of ya.
Only too happy to be of service.
Oh, that service [inaudible] looks.
Nevermind that crack she's a lady.
I said [inaudible] looks.
Thanks was enough,
never mind her looks.
Well, let's go fellas.
Goodbye.
Thanks again, and goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Yes, goodbye.
Hey, what a dope I am,
I forgot to get her name.
Somebody kick me.
She's what I call class.
Yeah, up to now it's been a great war.
Looks as though that guy's
going to spoil it though.
Yeah, Come on.
Why should I tell the boys who I am?
So they'll have the
proper respect for you.
As soon as they find out they'll
be scared to death of me.
And that just what you want.
You're jealous.
Absolutely.
Ah, forget it Tommy.
They're all nice boys.
Well, I'm still jealous.
Very funny, very funny.
You're holding up the taxi service.
Listen, I have some rights haven't I?
No!
Can I take you the rest of the trip?
Oh, no thanks, I'm not going anywhere.
Hey!
Well, I made it.
I see you did.
I thought if that invitation was still
open I... I'm all out of breath.
I can see that, too.
I'm not the runner I used to be.
Since I passed 50 I
seem to have slowed up.
Besides, when I just looked I
didn't see how pretty you were.
Where do you want to go?
What?
I'm offering you a lift, if you'll
tell me where you want to go.
Oh, of course.
I want to my tailors.
I thought, Uncle Sam was your tailor.
Officers have to outfit themselves.
Are you an officer?
Can't you tell by the stripes?
M, hm.
Honest?
Uh, huh.
Oh, ho, well then I'll have to explain
what we Army men call insignia.
You, perhaps, have seen other fellows
with stripes on the shoulder?
Oh, yes.
Well, they're just Lieutenants
and Captains, I'm a sergeant.
That's very interesting.
Yes, it is isn't it?
Do you know the General?
Know him?
Ha!
We're like that.
You are?
Sure.
I like the old [inaudible].
And I suppose he likes you?
Well, it's not for me to say.
But, otherwise, why should he
invite me over to his house
all the time for meals.
Oh, you eat with him?
Sure, I had breakfast
over there this morning.
Hey, hey!
Take it easy sister.
Oh, I'm sorry.
By the way, I hear the
General has a daughter.
He has.
What is she like?
Oh, she's a nice girl but, she looks
like the General, poor thing.
What's her name?
Well, I call her cuddles, ha ha.
Isn't this your tailor shop?
Oh!
Yes, it is.
I, I, I don't want to im...
if you're driving back I...
Yes?
Would you mind giving me another lift?
If you'll introduce me to the General.
It's a bet.
Hey, Moe, where are ya?
He asks me where I am.
My uniform ready yet?
He ask me if it's ready.
How much?
He ask me how much.
Still $70.
Shall we flip a coin?
Double or nothing.
Don't ask.
Here we are.
Signed, sealed, and delivered.
Aren't enlisted men punished
for wearing tailor made
uniforms?
Oh, no.
They're only punished
for getting caught
wearing tailor made uniforms.
Well then why take a chance.
Well I'm a very lucky guy.
Besides I'm having my picture
taken tomorrow, for my mother.
First stop in my ride
for tailor made uniforms.
Let me take the
wheel, I haven't driven
a real car since enlisted.
Horses for you.
I, I know the shortest
cutback to camp.
Aw, kind lady, let me drive.
Oh, all right, get in.
Well, camp again.
You certainly deserve a
medal for those short cuts.
I'll bet we didn't go over
30 miles out of our way.
Ha ha.
May I?
You know what I'd do
if I were the General.
I know what I'd do
if I were the general.
What?
I'd order me to take a
ride with you every day.
I believe this is where you get out.
Yes, it is.
Thanks for the lift.
Oh, don't mention it.
I do the same for any of the boys.
Oh, of course, only I.
You what?
Oh, nothing.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Sweet dreams.
Same to you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You forgot something.
Right.
Your uniform.
Right You know, I'm having
my picture taken tomorrow.
Yes, for your mother.
If they turn out well, I
may order some extra ones.
Very sensible.
Yes.
Uh, Did I thank you for the lift?
You did.
That's right I did.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Oh I forgot to tell you, I've got
23 1/2 hours leave tomorrow.
That's nice.
Yeah, the whole day.
It starts at 10:00
in the morning.
Isn't that lovely.
Uh, Some of the fellows
make dates with girls.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
I, I don't suppose you could, uh...
No.
I'm afraid I couldn't.
No.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Did you toot for me?
What's your name, Sergeant?
Bob.
Mine's Peggy.
Thanks Peggy.
What time did you say
your leave starts tomorrow?
At 10.
I'll be here to take you
to the photographer's.
Don't be late.
Late, I'll stay right here and wait.
Hey, Buddy.
I'm not the same fellow
who went out on this pass.
What's the idea.
I'm a changed man, in here.
Oh, stew day?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, with a glass eye.
Oh, No soul, no heart, no imagination.
Goodnight my sad and lonely friend.
I got the
strangest feeling, when I see
stars above.
Just the mention of Spring
and bells start to ring.
It must be love.
What is this new adventure
That I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies
and it's just the breeze,
it must be love.
My heart goes pitter-pat,
it never did that before.
Blue skies dazzle my eyes
and there's a million
bluebirds round my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven
just waiting for a song.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
I get the strangest feeling

there's a million bluebirds out
my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven
just waiting for a sign.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
The Army.
Where would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the Army?
There'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy,
what would the Army be if we every
happened to be in the Navy?
There'd be no Army.
[inaudible] today?
How's our little Bride-Groom?
The General said the
patty cakes are a bit overdone,
Sir, this morning, Sir.
That's good cuz it's
mighty scarce way out here.
The roast beef,
she is not so good.
But the pumpkin pie,
oh, she is lovely.

a gallon, Sir.

Sgt. Bob Gray, That's you.
"Dear Bob, Hope you have a nice
war, Mr. And Mrs. Bud Palmer."
Why you!
Hey!
Is that invitation still good
or is this a private fight.
Anybody can get into it.
Wait, buddy, wait a minute our
leave starts in a half an hour.
No mixing with the upstairs
gang, they've had their leave.
Sure, they've got nothing to lose.
Nothing to lose is
right, not to this outfit.
So long, General.
Lafayette, here we come.
Take [inaudible]

Have a tomato, my friend.
Stop.
Attention!
Who threw that tomato?
I said, who threw that tomato?
What tomato, Sir?
This tomato.
Oh that tomato, I don't know, Sir.
I did it, Sir.
Threw it at Casey.
Missed, Sir.
You mean, you missed Casey.
Yes Sir.
Gray, you are a menace
to military discipline.
One more infraction and
I'll have your stripes!
You understand that?
Yes, Sir.
All right, sergeant.
Go ahead.
Tommy What do you get out of this car.
I have something important to do.
Well what do you call
a proposal of marriage,
something trivial?
I'll have dinner with
you tomorrow night.
Yes, but what about my proposal?
Listen, Tommy, if I
were a man, a smart man,
and I wanted to propose to a girl,
I think I'd wait until I was
dancing with her or something.
And the music was soft,
and the lights were low.
That's a date.
Til then.
Goodbye Tommy.
The expression on my uniform.
Ha, ha!
Gray certainly made a
hit with the old man.
Something tells me the
Sarge's going to be promoted,
to a Buck Private.
Hey, hey you can't wear that.
Orders are nothing
but government stuff.
Orders are for slaves.
For your information, my friends.
This is a uniform.
Look it over boys.
You paid for it.
You look awfully sweet
darling, but you can't wear it.
What odds you offering?
I'm not offering any.
But I'm taking yours on that
breakfast with the General.
Try and score him out of that one!
Yeah come on, pikers 5
will get you 10, remember?
Is the sergeant going to welch?
Well?
My lads, for generations
the Gray's have
stood on their word.
Yeah.
Even in the face of adversity.
Uh huh.

Well put me down for 25.
Attention!
Why aren't you at attention?

Corporal.
What's new here?
Come on wise guy!
Hey, hey, you can't do this to me!
That's right, I can.
Ha, ha, ha, ha I didn't

Seven.
What's the matter buddy?
The poor house is over the hill.

[inaudible]
Look, asleep.
I'll break that up.
Don't miss.
He beat it!
Well I'll be.
He didn't go out.
He couldn't have come by us.
Well it's a cinch he ain't here.
He pulled a Houdini.
Unless he crawled through this window.
I'm awfully sorry I'm late.
Another five minutes and
you couldn't apologize.
That's what I was afraid of.
Why the slicker?
Well, I, uh.
Oh, I know.
You do?
Certainly, You're afraid
an officer will find out
what you're wearing under it.
What?
The tailored uniform.
You've got it on.
Peggy you're a mind reader, almost.
Come on get in.
Is that an officer over there?
No I don't see any.
Well, here we go.
To the photographers.
Hey fellas, Hey
fellas, come here quick.
Take a look at that.
That Bozo makes mugs of all of
us and then [inaudible] out.
We'll get him for this.
Yeah, we'll go and take his slicker.
Buddy, you've got a real idea.
Yeah, Where the heck is
Tubbs with our uniforms?
Hey gang, I've been
unavoidably retained.
Photography's at the
end of the corridor.
Thank you.
[inaudible]
Look here, you don't mind
if I ask you not to come in
while I'm being done, do you?
I see.
I'm a poor inspiration.
Oh no, nothing of the sort.
It's just that, well I'm
funny about pictures.
I don't like to have anybody around.
Even when I was a kid, and
the family sat for a group,
I had mine taken by myself.
But I'm not going
to be in the picture.
Yes I know, but, well, even one
person around breaks me all up.
And if I look nervous, or anything,
you know how mothers are.
All right go in and suffer alone.
I tell you what, you
wait at the Rivoli Cafe.
It's right next door,
and anyway you promised
we'd have a dance there.
Going down.
I'll take you.
Never mind.
I'll get a table.
But hurry.
That makes 57 soldiers so
far that want their pictures
by the 20th shore.
That should make the next sailing
date not later than the 22nd.
Take this message to headquarters.
I'm shipping about 2000 prints
between the 20th and the 22nd.
Get that off today sure.
Can you take me right
away, I'm in a hurry.
Certainly, step right over here.
Take off the coat please.
No just take me like this.
Oh you won't look so
good in that raincoat.
I'll look a lot better
than without it.
See?
What?
How in the world?
Oh, I, I loaned it to the general.
What?
The poor guy had leave
and had nothing to wear.
Amazing.
You think every soldier
has a uniform, don't ya?
[inaudible]
That's what you think.
They loan us one when we go on leave.
The boys around the camp have
to go around in their underwear.
You don't say.
It doesn't seem possible.
Our great country.
So rich.
So powerful.
And no uniforms.
Hey, my sitting room is froze.
Darling, Siberian winters
had nothing on you.
You know, you were the
coldest proposition
I think I ever knew.
And I figured my chances,
Oh, say, a million to one.
But I to my chances.
And it looks to me like
the ice is breaking.
Now you're talking my language, baby
now were getting somewhere.
You said something when you said love.
'Til you stepped in my kitchen,
baby we were getting nowhere.
You said nothing 'til you said love.
You seem to know
Sgt. Gray quite well.
Sgt. Gray has sung
for us here many times.
Does he sing?
Why, of course.
Didn't you know it?
No, it's all news to me.
Would you like to order now?
No thanks, I'll wait for him.
Here he comes now.
Baby
now we're getting somewhere.
You said something when
you said, Oh I love you.
You said something when you said love.
Sgt. Gray.
Hello, Paul.
Two orders of everything.
Yes.
Was I long?
No, not very.
No officers, You can take
off your slicker now.
Well, I'm sorry, but I, uh.
Well I've looked everywhere.
And there isn't an officer in the...
Just my luck.
Come on, let's dance anyway.
We're hot.
This is the car.
And that's the bus all right.
How about taking a look in there.
OK, and I'll search this building.
Deploy and cover the neighborhood.
And you also sing.
Oh, ho, Paul tells
everything he knows.
Well you's that guy
is the invisible man.
Yeah, well he was in
there 15 minutes ago.
How about camping
right here in this bus.
Hey!
Wait here, we've got one chance.
Sergeant.
Hello, Eddie.
How about a song?
Oh no, I...
Please, Bob.
Well, all right.
Thanks.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I give you one of our most
popular patrons, Sgt. Gray.
Uh, goodnight my lucky days?
Yeah.
Sometimes the hour of parting
calls for a tear or sigh.
Sometimes it's not so
easy to say goodbye.
My heart is much too happy
for us to part that way.
I'm certain you'd rather
have me just smile and say,
Goodnight my lucky day.
Many thanks for all the
happiness you've brought me.
All the millions in the world
could not have bought me
such joy my lucky day.
Goodnight another day.
Wait beyond the blue
horizon for tomorrow.
Who can tell it may be
burdened down with sorrow.
That's life, my lucky day.
The way you looked when I
awoke I knew my ship was in.
Then from above along came love
And said, How have you been?
Goodnight my lucky day.
Thanks again, for every
moment's been a pleasure.
In my heart, your memory
I shall always treasure.
Goodnight my lucky day.
Pardon us for the intrusion, Sergeant.
But the General has ordered
the immediate confiscation
of all slickers.
We're very sorry to trouble
you at a time like this.
But we must have that slicker at once.
Aw, listen Beans, have a heart.
You can come out with us, or
we'll take that slicker here.
All right, I'll go outside.
But I've got to give
my girlfriend an alibi.
OK
I, uh, I have to attend
to an important matter
for my, uh, pals.
But I'll be back.
Will you excuse me?
Certainly.
But don't be too long.
All right, Romeo.
Take it off.
Now, look fellas.
Come on, get it!
Get that slicker.
Get that slicker.
[inaudible]
I got him.
You got it?
I got it.
OK
Attention!
Sgt. Gray's compliments, Miss.
The sergeant regrets
his unavoidable absence
for the moment, and wants
you to have his coatroom
check for his slicker.
Hey, you!
- What do you think?
- What do I think?
I think it's time we get out of here.
Fella looks like a plant,
maybe intelligence department.
Better start packing right away.
Hey, there!
Where's your pants?
Going down.
I knew you were here, I
saw your car out in front.
Hello, Tommy.
Anybody sitting here?
Yes, um, no.
That is, there was someone but, um...
His name?
I've forgotten.
Good, should we dance?
Never mind those plates,
we won't need them.
Bring the chemical box.
Right away.
Yes, and you better pack
the camera the first thing.
So, it's you again.
Let me get at him.
So, you let the General
take your uniform, huh?
Oh, I...
Hey, let me go.
Hey, Hey!
Ugh.
Woody, help!
Hey!
Hey!
Put me down!
Aw, shut up.
Are you're guns ready?
This guy's dangerous.
Right in there.
That's him!
Hey, wait a minute, I'm Sgt.
Gray, Headquarter's Company.
Sure you are,
and I'm Secondary Award.
Put the braces on him.
What about these two?
We'll take them.
I'll call Headquarters.
Attention to roll call
Sgt. Bennick, Sgt. Banning,
Sgt. Tubbs, Sgt. Turner,
Sgt. Sullivan, Sgt. Gray,
Sgt. Gray, Sgt. Gray!
Sgt. Schultz, Sgt. Swift,
- Good morning, Sir.
- Morning, Tommy.
- Good morning, Peggy.
- Morning.
Any reports?
Yes, Sir.
Rather unusual.
All the men of Headquarter's Company
were without their uniforms yesterday.
Without their uniforms?
Yes, Sir.
I'll answer that.
Daddy, what happens to
a soldier who was AWOL?
Court martialed.
But suppose he has a good reason?
No soldier ever has a good reason.
Chief of the city police
on the phone, Sir.
What's he want?
He requests that you come
to his office at once, Sir.
Says they arrested three
important enemy agents.
Good.
Says that one of them claims to
be a soldier of this division.
One of our men, an enemy agent?
Ridiculous.
The Chief seems to
think it's true, Sir.
Well, let me account for these leaks.
Come on.
Captain Burnes, meet General Markley.
General.
Captain is with our
intelligence department,
he can give you all the details.
Captain the Chief tells
me you have captured three
very important enemy agents.
Only two General, the third
man is a Sergeant in Company
and was the direct means of
capturing the enemy agents.
I was just about to release him.
We can always depend on
our men, in any emergency.
What's his name?
Sergeant Robert Gray.
Sergeant Gray?
Fine soldier.
Splendid chap.
Had my eye on him for a long time.
Maloney.
Bologna?
I was calling my assistant, Maloney,
to have Gray brought in.
Never mind, I'll release Gray myself.
He's entitled to it.
Unlock this cell, would you please?
Yes, Sir.
Oh, Bob I'm so sorry.
But it's all right now.
Well, my daughter seems
to know you, Sergeant.
Why, yes, Daddy, we're old friends.
Taxi Service, you know.
Hm.
I want to congratulate you, sergeant.
You've done a fine piece of work.
Um, Yes, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
We need men like you.
I'll keep you in mind
for a possible promotion.
Thank you, Sir.
Captain, in your report to
the intelligence department,
don't forget to give proper
credit to Sergeant Gray.
Yes, Sir.
Daddy, You haven't had breakfast yet,
don't you think you and Tommy...
Have you had breakfast, Sergeant?
Not yet, Sir.
Well, come on then.
What's this?
Check for your slicker.
You're liable to need it.
Come on.
Seeing anything you
like there, Sergeant?
Sausages, and wheat cakes
would do for me, Sir.
I should have known
it would be you, Gray.
Bring me an order of
those, uh, patty cakes.
What do you want, Tommy?
Raspberries, Sir.
Attention!
Hey, take a look at that!
Attention!
It was very kind of you,
Sir, to ask me to breakfast.
Don't mention it, I hope
you enjoyed the patty cakes.
Beg pardon, Sir?
I say I hope you
enjoyed the patty cakes.
Oh, very much, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
Sergeant, take my daughter home.
Uh, as soon as she's ready.
Yes, Sir.
See you later Peggy.
Goodbye, Dad.
And we have to pay him off.
The war ain't going to last that long.
But you haven't left, yet.
Maybe we'll still have time
for roast duck at the Rivoli.
Huh.
I have a hunch we're leaving tonight.
I'm afraid you're right.
Do you mind if I sing?
Do you mind if he sings?
I wouldn't bet a
quarter that my mental state
is what it ought to be for me.
The weather makes me dizzy And my head
keeps buzzing like a busy bee.
Oh, gee.
Apparently, I'm healthy.
I'm much too young to die.
I've got a premonition
Mr. Cupid's
going to proposition me.
I get the strangest feeling,
when I see stars above.
Just
a mention of Spring.
And they'll start to ring.
It must be love.
What is this new adventure
that I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies
and it's just the breeze,
it must be love.
My heart goes pitter-pat,
it never did that before.
Blue skies dazzle
my eyes and there's a million
bluebirds round my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven.
Just waiting on a song.
When somebody
can be as happy as me,
it must be love.
That guy is out of uniform.
Will you write me, Peggy?
Every day, Bob.
I, I hate to say goodbye.
Me, too.
All right, then.
What
is this new adventure
that I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies,
and it' just a breeze.
It must be love.
What are you doing in those clothes?
Having an acute attack
of heart trouble.
Out of uniform and AWOL,
you're under arrest.
Come on, come on.
Blue
skies dazzle my eyes
and there's a million
blue birds at my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven,
just waiting for a song.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
I'll lay you five to one the
General comes to my wedding.
Goodnight my lucky day.
Thanks again for every
moments been a pleasure.
In my heart your memory
I shall always treasure.
Goodnight, my lucky day.
Stop!
My favorite dream, and you
had to blow that whistle.
Quiet.
Oh, gorgeous.
Big round beautiful.
Quiet!
A hot delicious apple pie.
And you blow that whistle.
Quiet!
I can still hear ya.
Oh boy is my back broke!
Do we have to that gun again today?
Yeah, and all we do is walk.
I joined the Calvary
so's I could ride.
Ain't you been informed?
This is the unmounted Calvary.
Unmounted is right.
Ain't they cute in their nighties.
Yeah!
Cute little rascals.
Hey, do you want to
make anything out of it?
Sure, the upstairs gag is
at your service any time,
just ask for it.
We'll ask but we won't
send you an invitation.
Come on!
That's showing those guys
where they get off at.
Hey gang.
Pipe the lark that trills so
pretty at the break of day,
will ya?
Sgt. Gray.
Attention!
By the number.
One, two,
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
As you were.
Remember, the General sleeps 'til 10.
Did you try them
bending over exercises?
Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me
to face the radiator?
Now, give me my coat!
Them exercises sure will
improve your disposition.
Uh, indigestion, Sir!
Don't I ride hoseback to the
Camp [inaudible] every day?
Yes, Sir.
But then it's the horse
gets all the exercising.
I'll take care of
who gets the exercise.
General, Sir!
We forgot your shirt.
We forgot my shirt?
Yes.
Sam!
You good for nothing, lazy!
Someday I'm going to take
you apart piece by piece!
And I suppose we
forgot to take the pins out!
- Good morning, Tommy!
- Good morning.
- Did you see it?
- The car?
Come on.
Brand new, like it?
I like the both of you.
Aw.
Now you've got the
shirt on over my suspenders!
That's the General's
mood this morning.
And he hasn't even seen the car yet.
You bought it without asking?
Uh huh.
Well you've picked a fine
day to break the news to him.
Ooh, maybe I better vanish.
Ha ha.
The general's daughter
retreating under fire?
You tell me what to do.
You've studied strategy.
Remove the evidence
til after breakfast.
Right.
Peggy!
Good morning Daddy.
What are you doing up so early?
Breakfast with the General.
Breakfast?
Don't want any.
Daddy!
No, I'm late now.
War on my hands, no time.
General you've said repeatedly.
An army marches on it's stomach.
Napoleon said it first.
You're going to have breakfast.
No I'm...
Please.
All right, I'll eat it,
But I won't enjoy it.
You're the sweetest daddy
in this beautiful old world!
Who says the beautiful world?
Good morning, Tommy.
Good morning, Sir.
Now Tommy are the horses there?
Whose car is that?
Yours, Tommy?
No, Sir.
It's ours!
What?
Yes!
We just bought it.
Only $70 a month.
What was the full price?
Well, $79 a month, but that includes
insurance and everything.
The full price.
Just a teeny-weeny bit over $3000.
A teeny-ween bit over my dead body!
Be careful daddy,
you'll have apoplexy.
Well, I will if I want to!
Home from school only two
days and I'm in hot for $3000!
Tommy!
Call up that agency, tell
them to the take it away.
I believe it's rather early
to call the agency, Sir.
Well, then, later.
But call them!
Yes.
Now then.
What's for breakfast?
Wheat cakes, Sir.
Wheat cakes.
Every day for a week.
In this great big country
there must be one egg.
Sgt. Gray, how
many times have you
been ordered to report for inspection
during the past two weeks?
Three times, Sir.
You'd soon get to know me well enough
to call me by my first name.
Yes, Sir.
What?
I-I... mean, I mean, No, Sir.
It appears you over
slept this morning.
Yes, Sir.
Not overworking you I hope.
No Sir.
I didn't hear the first call, Sir.
[inaudible]
No, Sir.
Well haven't you a
reasonable excuse to offer?
Yes.
Yes, Sir.
The man in the cot next to
me kept me awake all night.
Doing what?
Snoring Sir.
That's the best excuse
you can think of?
Yes, Sir.
Well if this occurs again you will
be denied leave for an
entire month, you understand?
Yes, Sir.
Well that's all.
Yes, Sir.
Oh.
Two prunes.
Old prunes with wrinkles.
We declared war against the wrong guy.
Prunes, why don't they
give us a breakfast
like I used to get at home?
Everything from soup and... thank you.
Hey [inaudible].
Did you page me, Sir?
You's got any more of these gaskets?
Yeah, we're just fresh out.
Heh.
You [inaudible] Robert
give me a pain in the neck.
That's nice work if you
can get away with it.
Listen, buddy, Gray's won
enough bets from us guys
to pay for a million flap jacks.
The guy's draped with horseshoes
and festooned with four leaf clovers.
Yeah, but he never fails
to loan a pal dough.
Yeah, and he never
fails to collect either.
Hey, you've got a nerve,
taking Gray's cakes.
Hey, taint fair to cheat
a buddy out of patty cakes.
I'll mind this one for him.
Where is that sleepy sergeant?
Ah, he's in Conference
with the officer of the day.
Probably working on a plan
for having his breakfast
served in bed, the lucky stiff.
- Hello, General!
- [inaudible]
- [inaudible]
- [inaudible]
[inaudible]
[inaudible], old boy?
As you were, men.
We were so upset Robert, when
you was late for breakfast,
your orange juice got warm
and you patty cakes got cold.
Oh, it's OK.
I don't miss the gaskets anyhow.
Oh, no?
No.
As a matter of fact, I was
thinking very sorrowfully
of you boys this morning
as the officer-of-the-day
and I dallied over breakfast.
What, only the OD?
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I thought you'd invited
the general staff.
Gray, do you want to bet me
you had breakfast with the OD?
- Wait, I'm in on that.
- And me.
Me too.
Oh, all set for a killing, eh?
Well I'll go you one better than that.
I'll lay ya even money,
Yeah.
That I'll have breakfast
with the General.
Oh, sure, maybe after the war.
No, within a month.
And will that breakfast include
patty cakes for the sergeant?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
He will have roast pheasant on toast,
You mean roast mule on bran.
Listen, you mugs.
Even money I have
breakfast with the General,
including patty cakes.
How about that?
Ho, Ho, what, no takers?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm disappointed.
How would a two to one
bet interest you pikers?
Come on!
Five will get you ten.
Oh, no, not me.
You're taking me to
the cleaners too often.
Yeah, maybe I haven't
been hooked for plenty.
Hey, for a guy that just
had breakfast with the OD,
you seem mighty hungry to me.
Prunes arouse the sergeant in me.
Yeah, that's more than Reveille does.
You know, Mugs?
I wouldn't be surprised
if we sailed in a week.
Anybody want to bet?
I'm through being a sucker.
Yeah, it's the way he springs
them bets that gets me.
Like that.
And before you know it.
You bite.
And you're hooked.
Boy, you're stupideous.
Ha, ha, ha.
Payday!
We happen to be in the Army.
What would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the
Army, there'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy.
What would the Army be if we ever
happened to be in the
Navy, there'd be no Army.
But when there's work to
be done, it's one for all,
and all for one.
The Navy needs the Army,
and all we need is a gun!
It's luck that we are in the Army
if we had all gone to sea,
where would the Army be?
That's the question,
here's the answer.
The Army would be
darn sight better off.
We're happy to be in the Army.
Where would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the
Army, there'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy.
Where would the Army be if we ever
happened to be in the
Navy, there'd be no Army.
But when there's work to
be done, it's one for all,
and all for one.
The Navy needs the Army,
and all we need is a gun!
It's lucky that we are in the Army.
If we had all gone to sea,
where would the Army be?
That's the question,
here's the answer.
The Army would be a
darn sight better off.
Hey!
Outside, fall in.
Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
What's this, what's this?
That's the $10.
Oh, yeah, sure.
What about the other three?
How about the two bucks you borrowed
from me Wednesday night.
Come on, give.
Aw, yeah.
Hey, you still owe
me for that sweater.
Didn't I pay ya?
No, you didn't.
Come on, come one, two bucks.
Hey, just a second.
You remember a week ago Sunday?
What about it, what about it.
Who paid the check on
that Chinese restaurant?
Huh?
I did You owe me for half.
Hey it was two bucks wasn't it?
Yeah.
Hey, I've been gypped!
This is my own two bucks!
So what?
You paid me, I gave it to
him, he gave it to you.
What do you mean?
All right chumps.
Line up and shell out.
The little memo book reads,
Brother Beans bets wrong,
eleven bucks.
Thank you Brother Beans.
Better luck next time.
There'll be no next time.
I'll bet ya five bucks.
Ah, no.
Sgt. Gray presents
his [inaudible]
to Mr. Sgt. Tubbs and requests
the payment of five bucks.
My dear Sergeant Tubbs.
Do you really believe one buck
is worth a sock in the eye?
That's squares us pal.
Yeah.
Just a minute Jake.
It's all there, count it.
There's a whole month's pay.
Yeah, I know, I should
have only bet half as much.
Supposing I'd lost?
But, you can't do this.
Who says I can't?
I guess I know when I bet too much.
Gee, thanks.
Brother Turner owes $16.
Why you double crossing,
patty cake lifter!

Why you...
Take him to the stable.
Yes, Sir.
No, the horse!
Here take this horse.
Yes, Sir.
Hey, did you Gray tell the
old man where to head in?
I thought it was the General telling...
Aw, don't you know Gray's voice yet?
Sure, he does Why Gray talks
so low you can hardly hear him.
Well, you might as
well keep the change.
Come on... eight.
Eight's right.
That was a nine.
It was an eight I tell ya.
That was a nine!
You're going to believe
me or what you saw?
I guess you're right.
You'll always speak twice
before you think anyhow.
I'll take a dime.
I'll take a nickle.
I'll take
the other dime.
That's a
hard one to miss.
Come on four.
Quarter
at four to three.
[inaudible]
Say, how do you spell adorable?
Like this my friend!
Oh, Oh boy!
Say, you're lucky in everything.
Ah, she's a sweet kid Beans.
You know, real and homey.
And a good sport too!
We grew up together, neighbors.
We used to go every place together.
You know, Beans.
I think I ought to get
married before going across.
You know, that sounds
like a good idea to me.
I'm going to wire her right
away, cut me a piece of paper.
Sure, here and, uh, good luck.
Hey, how would you address
your future wife in a telegram?
Hey fellas!
Latest war bulletin!
Gray's just announced his wedding.
Bologna, no girl's dumb enough.
She thinks I'm the only
sergeant in the Army.
Well, of course, if she's that dumb.
Telegram for Sgt. Gray.
Telegram for Sgt. Gray!
Telegram for Sgt. Gray!
Telegram for Sgt. Gray!
You looking for me?
Are you Sgt. Gray?
Nobody else but.
I got a telegram for you.
Oh.
Probably from the General.
Sure.
It says, "Dear pal Gray,
can I have the pleasure of
your company at breakfast?
Affectionately yours, The General.
P.S. We will have patty
cakes."
Thank you, lad.
Thanks.
Boo!
Ya!
What's the matter buddy?
Bad news?
No, of course not.
But then, what are you
looking so sad about?
Sad?
Oh, I... I, uh, just
received a mild shock.
They, uh, They've just
struck oil on my Texas ranch.
Did they bring in a gusher?
Twenty thou...
How do you like them apples, chumps?
At ease!
September 13, 1917, Flores.
The following men are
given 23 1/2 hours
leave beginning at 10:00 a.m.
on September 15 and
they get 9:30 a.m.
On September 16.
Sgt. Solomon, Sgt. Banning,
Sgt. Gray, Sgt. Turner,
Sgt. Johnson, Sgt. Scriff.
Well shoot, shoot don't
wait until morning.
Just planning my line
of attack General.
All right, go ahead and attack.
OK, Hello, Captain.
Hello.
- Hey what are you doing?
- Hello, Tommy.- Out in the rain?
Business, for the taxi.
Ah.
Cost me over $3000, a taxi.
Uh-huh.
Too much English there, Captain.
Tommy, did you bring the orders?
Yes, Sir.
This first one's marked
special and urgent, sir.
Hm.
War department.
The intelligence department
again reports that enemy agents
active in the vicinity of your command
continue to obtain information
regarding troop embarkations
and other secret matters.
Apparently traceable to
leaks, or carelessness,
within your own division.
You're instructed, and so
forth, to take immediate steps,
and so forth...
By George, this is serious.
Leaks or carelessness
within your own division.
Secret agents, they're
spies aren't they?
Spies?
Of course they're spies.
That's the second
notice, isn't it Sir.
No, third, but we
won't discuss it now.
Tommy, issue an order that
the staff meets tomorrow.
Yes, Sir.
I thought you said your taxi service
was for enlisted men only.
How does Tommy rate a ride?
He's an officer you know.
Yes, How about that Peg?
It's after hours.
And besides, Tommy doesn't count.
That's right.
You should
stick to officers.
Why?
You're the
general's daughter.
I never forget that.
That's the stuff Peg.
Just the same.
It's bad for the men,
it weakens their moral.
Giving them a ride
weakens their moral?
Of course.
You, the General's daughter?
Discipline's bad enough as it is.
By the way I heard that
one of the non-coms
made a bet that he'd
have breakfast with you.
With me?
A non-com?
Tommy, You heard anything about this?
Yes, Sir.
The bet was that he'd not
only eat breakfast with you
within 30 days, but that
you'd also serve him
with, well, with patty cakes.
Patty cakes?
Yes, Sir.
Patty cakes.
Well for crying out loud.
I'll be a spotted monkey.
Patty cakes!
General's staff meets sharp at 5.
Yes, Sir.
Right, Sergeant, headquarters.
Captain.
Well, uh, Thanks for the lift, miss.
Yeah, that, that goes for me too.
And me too.
It was sure nice of ya.
Only too happy to be of service.
Oh, that service [inaudible] looks.
Nevermind that crack she's a lady.
I said [inaudible] looks.
Thanks was enough,
never mind her looks.
Well, let's go fellas.
Goodbye.
Thanks again, and goodbye.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Yes, goodbye.
Hey, what a dope I am,
I forgot to get her name.
Somebody kick me.
She's what I call class.
Yeah, up to now it's been a great war.
Looks as though that guy's
going to spoil it though.
Yeah, Come on.
Why should I tell the boys who I am?
So they'll have the
proper respect for you.
As soon as they find out they'll
be scared to death of me.
And that just what you want.
You're jealous.
Absolutely.
Ah, forget it Tommy.
They're all nice boys.
Well, I'm still jealous.
Very funny, very funny.
You're holding up the taxi service.
Listen, I have some rights haven't I?
No!
Can I take you the rest of the trip?
Oh, no thanks, I'm not going anywhere.
Hey!
Well, I made it.
I see you did.
I thought if that invitation was still
open I... I'm all out of breath.
I can see that, too.
I'm not the runner I used to be.
Since I passed 50 I
seem to have slowed up.
Besides, when I just looked I
didn't see how pretty you were.
Where do you want to go?
What?
I'm offering you a lift, if you'll
tell me where you want to go.
Oh, of course.
I want to my tailors.
I thought, Uncle Sam was your tailor.
Officers have to outfit themselves.
Are you an officer?
Can't you tell by the stripes?
M, hm.
Honest?
Uh, huh.
Oh, ho, well then I'll have to explain
what we Army men call insignia.
You, perhaps, have seen other fellows
with stripes on the shoulder?
Oh, yes.
Well, they're just Lieutenants
and Captains, I'm a sergeant.
That's very interesting.
Yes, it is isn't it?
Do you know the General?
Know him?
Ha!
We're like that.
You are?
Sure.
I like the old [inaudible].
And I suppose he likes you?
Well, it's not for me to say.
But, otherwise, why should he
invite me over to his house
all the time for meals.
Oh, you eat with him?
Sure, I had breakfast
over there this morning.
Hey, hey!
Take it easy sister.
Oh, I'm sorry.
By the way, I hear the
General has a daughter.
He has.
What is she like?
Oh, she's a nice girl but, she looks
like the General, poor thing.
What's her name?
Well, I call her cuddles, ha ha.
Isn't this your tailor shop?
Oh!
Yes, it is.
I, I, I don't want to im...
if you're driving back I...
Yes?
Would you mind giving me another lift?
If you'll introduce me to the General.
It's a bet.
Hey, Moe, where are ya?
He asks me where I am.
My uniform ready yet?
He ask me if it's ready.
How much?
He ask me how much.
Still $70.
Shall we flip a coin?
Double or nothing.
Don't ask.
Here we are.
Signed, sealed, and delivered.
Aren't enlisted men punished
for wearing tailor made
uniforms?
Oh, no.
They're only punished
for getting caught
wearing tailor made uniforms.
Well then why take a chance.
Well I'm a very lucky guy.
Besides I'm having my picture
taken tomorrow, for my mother.
First stop in my ride
for tailor made uniforms.
Let me take the
wheel, I haven't driven
a real car since enlisted.
Horses for you.
I, I know the shortest
cutback to camp.
Aw, kind lady, let me drive.
Oh, all right, get in.
Well, camp again.
You certainly deserve a
medal for those short cuts.
I'll bet we didn't go over
30 miles out of our way.
Ha ha.
May I?
You know what I'd do
if I were the General.
I know what I'd do
if I were the general.
What?
I'd order me to take a
ride with you every day.
I believe this is where you get out.
Yes, it is.
Thanks for the lift.
Oh, don't mention it.
I do the same for any of the boys.
Oh, of course, only I.
You what?
Oh, nothing.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Sweet dreams.
Same to you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You forgot something.
Right.
Your uniform.
Right You know, I'm having
my picture taken tomorrow.
Yes, for your mother.
If they turn out well, I
may order some extra ones.
Very sensible.
Yes.
Uh, Did I thank you for the lift?
You did.
That's right I did.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Oh I forgot to tell you, I've got
23 1/2 hours leave tomorrow.
That's nice.
Yeah, the whole day.
It starts at 10:00
in the morning.
Isn't that lovely.
Uh, Some of the fellows
make dates with girls.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
I, I don't suppose you could, uh...
No.
I'm afraid I couldn't.
No.
Well, goodnight.
Goodnight.
Did you toot for me?
What's your name, Sergeant?
Bob.
Mine's Peggy.
Thanks Peggy.
What time did you say
your leave starts tomorrow?
At 10.
I'll be here to take you
to the photographer's.
Don't be late.
Late, I'll stay right here and wait.
Hey, Buddy.
I'm not the same fellow
who went out on this pass.
What's the idea.
I'm a changed man, in here.
Oh, stew day?
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, with a glass eye.
Oh, No soul, no heart, no imagination.
Goodnight my sad and lonely friend.
I got the
strangest feeling, when I see
stars above.
Just the mention of Spring
and bells start to ring.
It must be love.
What is this new adventure
That I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies
and it's just the breeze,
it must be love.
My heart goes pitter-pat,
it never did that before.
Blue skies dazzle my eyes
and there's a million
bluebirds round my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven
just waiting for a song.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
I get the strangest feeling

my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven
just waiting for a sign.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
The Army.
Where would the Army be if we didn't
happen to be in the Army?
There'd be no Army.
Imagine if we had joined the Navy,
what would the Army be if we every
happened to be in the Navy?
There'd be no Army.
[inaudible] today?
How's our little Bride-Groom?
The General said the
patty cakes are a bit overdone,
Sir, this morning, Sir.
That's good cuz it's
mighty scarce way out here.
The roast beef,
she is not so good.
But the pumpkin pie,
oh, she is lovely.
[inaudible] Monsieur,
fresh from the delicatessen.
The [inaudible] are

Sgt. Bob Gray, That's you.
"Dear Bob, Hope you have a nice
war, Mr. And Mrs. Bud Palmer."
Why you!
Hey!
Is that invitation still good
or is this a private fight.
Anybody can get into it.
Wait, buddy, wait a minute our
leave starts in a half an hour.
No mixing with the upstairs
gang, they've had their leave.
Sure, they've got nothing to lose.
Nothing to lose is
right, not to this outfit.
So long, General.
Lafayette, here we come.
Take [inaudible]

Have a tomato, my friend.
Stop.
Attention!
Who threw that tomato?

This tomato.
Oh that tomato, I don't know, Sir.
I did it, Sir.
Threw it at Casey.
Missed, Sir.
You mean, you missed Casey.
Yes Sir.
Gray, you are a menace
to military discipline.
One more infraction and
I'll have your stripes!
You understand that?
Yes, Sir.
All right, sergeant.
Go ahead.
Tommy What do you get out of this car.
I have something important to do.
Well what do you call
a proposal of marriage,
something trivial?
I'll have dinner with
you tomorrow night.
Yes, but what about my proposal?
Listen, Tommy, if I
were a man, a smart man,
and I wanted to propose to a girl,
I think I'd wait until I was
dancing with her or something.
And the music was soft,
and the lights were low.
That's a date.
Til then.
Goodbye Tommy.
The expression on my uniform.
Ha, ha!
Gray certainly made a
hit with the old man.
Something tells me the
Sarge's going to be promoted,
to a Buck Private.
Hey, hey you can't wear that.
Orders are nothing
but government stuff.
Orders are for slaves.
For your information, my friends.
This is a uniform.
Look it over boys.
You paid for it.
You look awfully sweet
darling, but you can't wear it.
What odds you offering?
I'm not offering any.
But I'm taking yours on that
breakfast with the General.
Try and score him out of that one!
Yeah come on, pikers 5
will get you 10, remember?
Is the sergeant going to welch?
Well?
My lads, for generations
the Gray's have
stood on their word.
Yeah.
Even in the face of adversity.
Uh huh.
It's an old family tradition.
Yeah.
You mean the bet still stands?
It still stands.
With patty cakes?
With patty cakes.
Oh boy, here's Santa
Claus without his beard.
Well I'll take you for a
month's pay on that one.
Me too, I'm in.
I'm on.
Yeah, put me down for 10 smackers.
Hey, I'll take 20 of
that easy money, great.
25 [inaudible] for me.
[inaudible]
Well put me down for 25.
Attention!
Why aren't you at attention?
I am, Sergeant.
It's the slicker that's at ease.
Is that an issue uniform?
No, Sir.
Take it off.
Yes, Sir.
These uniforms are a disgrace.
Take them off.
Sgt. Black.
Yes, Sir.
Confiscate every one
of them, turn them in.
Beg pardon, Sir.
These men have 23 21/2 hours
leave today, you're leaving
them rather stripped, Sir.
Well make out a requisition and
have them replaced immediately.
Sgt. Gray.
Were you ever at Army regulations?
Yes, Sir.
You were issued government
underwear, weren't you?
Yes, Sir.
Then shed those dewed panties.
Yes, Sir.
Corporal, see these are
sent to the supply room.
So, orders are for slaves, huh?
OK, slave, we'll take care of you.
Eh, fellas?
You said it.
[inaudible] to start anything.
You smart guys are going
to find this on the payroll,
you know don't you.
Maybe I get two pair of pants.
Yeah maybe you do, get out of here.
Here, Tubbs, you look
like you're pretty fast.
Get your slicker and your
leggings on and run that over.
I'm practically there.
Keep yourself covered up too.
Yeah, come on, hurry up.
Come on get your,
get your leggings on.
Hurry, will ya?
Tubbs, I got a date.
Come on snap
our of it, will ya?
You make me nervous.
Don't stop and

And if you're careful,

You're responsible for this too.
Careful, boys I'm tender.
Quit playing house and go to work.
Oh, hurry up will
ya Tubbs, she's waiting.
Who?
- My girl.
- Come on.
Let's go.
Beat it.
Do you guys know that I hold
you in the palm of my hand?
Hurry up!
And don't forget what I told you?
Hey, hurry up we're
on our leave already.
And be
sure to come back.
Hey, you, what's the big idea?
What I do?
Running around in your nightie.
Listen buddy, I got an
order for a new issue.
Yeah where is it?
In me pocket.
Let's see it.
Where is it?
Wait a minute I'll find it.
Oh yeah, you can't pull
that on me, let's go.
Corporal.
What's new here?
Come on wise guy!
Hey, hey, you can't do this to me!
That's right, I can.
Ha, ha, ha, ha I didn't
have leave today, anyway,
- What's my point?
- It's nine.
Try and make it.
I always make nine.
Seven.
What's the matter buddy?
The poor house is over the hill.
- Who shoots?
- [inaudible]
[inaudible]
Look, asleep.
I'll break that up.
Don't miss.
He beat it!
Well I'll be.
He didn't go out.
He couldn't have come by us.
Well it's a cinch he ain't here.
He pulled a Houdini.
Unless he crawled through this window.
I'm awfully sorry I'm late.
Another five minutes and
you couldn't apologize.
That's what I was afraid of.
Why the slicker?
Well, I, uh.
Oh, I know.
You do?
Certainly, You're afraid
an officer will find out
what you're wearing under it.
What?
The tailored uniform.
You've got it on.
Peggy you're a mind reader, almost.
Come on get in.
Is that an officer over there?
No I don't see any.
Well, here we go.
To the photographers.
Hey fellas, Hey
fellas, come here quick.
Take a look at that.
That Bozo makes mugs of all of
us and then [inaudible] out.
We'll get him for this.
Yeah, we'll go and take his slicker.
Buddy, you've got a real idea.
Yeah, Where the heck is
Tubbs with our uniforms?
Hey gang, I've been
unavoidably retained.
Photography's at the
end of the corridor.
Thank you.
[inaudible]
Look here, you don't mind
if I ask you not to come in
while I'm being done, do you?
I see.
I'm a poor inspiration.
Oh no, nothing of the sort.
It's just that, well I'm
funny about pictures.
I don't like to have anybody around.
Even when I was a kid, and
the family sat for a group,
I had mine taken by myself.
But I'm not going
to be in the picture.
Yes I know, but, well, even one
person around breaks me all up.
And if I look nervous, or anything,
you know how mothers are.
All right go in and suffer alone.
I tell you what, you
wait at the Rivoli Cafe.
It's right next door,
and anyway you promised
we'd have a dance there.
Going down.
I'll take you.
Never mind.
I'll get a table.
But hurry.
That makes 57 soldiers so
far that want their pictures
by the 20th shore.
That should make the next sailing
date not later than the 22nd.
Take this message to headquarters.
I'm shipping about 2000 prints
between the 20th and the 22nd.
Get that off today sure.
Can you take me right
away, I'm in a hurry.
Certainly, step right over here.
Take off the coat please.
No just take me like this.
Oh you won't look so
good in that raincoat.
I'll look a lot better
than without it.
See?
What?
How in the world?
Oh, I, I loaned it to the general.
What?
The poor guy had leave
and had nothing to wear.
Amazing.
You think every soldier
has a uniform, don't ya?
[inaudible]
That's what you think.
They loan us one when we go on leave.
The boys around the camp have
to go around in their underwear.
You don't say.
It doesn't seem possible.
Our great country.
So rich.
So powerful.
And no uniforms.
Hey, my sitting room is froze.
Darling, Siberian winters
had nothing on you.
You know, you were the
coldest proposition
I think I ever knew.
And I figured my chances,
Oh, say, a million to one.
But I to my chances.
And it looks to me like
the ice is breaking.
Now you're talking my language, baby
now were getting somewhere.
You said something when you said love.
'Til you stepped in my kitchen,
baby we were getting nowhere.
You said nothing 'til you said love.
You seem to know
Sgt. Gray quite well.
Sgt. Gray has sung
for us here many times.
Does he sing?
Why, of course.
Didn't you know it?
No, it's all news to me.
Would you like to order now?
No thanks, I'll wait for him.
Here he comes now.
Baby
now we're getting somewhere.
You said something when
you said, Oh I love you.
You said something when you said love.
Sgt. Gray.
Hello, Paul.
Two orders of everything.
Yes.
Was I long?
No, not very.
No officers, You can take
off your slicker now.
Well, I'm sorry, but I, uh.
Well I've looked everywhere.
And there isn't an officer in the...
Just my luck.
Come on, let's dance anyway.
We're hot.
This is the car.
And that's the bus all right.
How about taking a look in there.
OK, and I'll search this building.
Deploy and cover the neighborhood.
And you also sing.
Oh, ho, Paul tells
everything he knows.
Well you's that guy
is the invisible man.
Yeah, well he was in
there 15 minutes ago.
How about camping
right here in this bus.
Hey!
Wait here, we've got one chance.
Sergeant.
Hello, Eddie.
How about a song?
Oh no, I...
Please, Bob.
Well, all right.
Thanks.
Ladies and gentlemen.
I give you one of our most
popular patrons, Sgt. Gray.
Uh, goodnight my lucky days?
Yeah.
Sometimes the hour of parting
calls for a tear or sigh.
Sometimes it's not so
easy to say goodbye.
My heart is much too happy
for us to part that way.
I'm certain you'd rather
have me just smile and say,
Goodnight my lucky day.
Many thanks for all the
happiness you've brought me.
All the millions in the world
could not have bought me
such joy my lucky day.
Goodnight another day.
Wait beyond the blue
horizon for tomorrow.
Who can tell it may be
burdened down with sorrow.
That's life, my lucky day.
The way you looked when I
awoke I knew my ship was in.
Then from above along came love
And said, How have you been?
Goodnight my lucky day.
Thanks again, for every
moment's been a pleasure.
In my heart, your memory
I shall always treasure.
Goodnight my lucky day.
Pardon us for the intrusion, Sergeant.
But the General has ordered
the immediate confiscation
of all slickers.
We're very sorry to trouble
you at a time like this.
But we must have that slicker at once.
Aw, listen Beans, have a heart.
You can come out with us, or
we'll take that slicker here.
All right, I'll go outside.
But I've got to give
my girlfriend an alibi.
OK
I, uh, I have to attend
to an important matter
for my, uh, pals.
But I'll be back.
Will you excuse me?
Certainly.
But don't be too long.
All right, Romeo.
Take it off.
Now, look fellas.
Come on, get it!
Get that slicker.
Get that slicker.
[inaudible]
I got him.
You got it?
I got it.
OK
Attention!
Sgt. Gray's compliments, Miss.
The sergeant regrets
his unavoidable absence
for the moment, and wants
you to have his coatroom
check for his slicker.
Hey, you!
- What do you think?
- What do I think?
I think it's time we get out of here.
Fella looks like a plant,
maybe intelligence department.
Better start packing right away.
Hey, there!
Where's your pants?
Going down.
I knew you were here, I
saw your car out in front.
Hello, Tommy.
Anybody sitting here?
Yes, um, no.
That is, there was someone but, um...
His name?
I've forgotten.
Good, should we dance?
Never mind those plates,
we won't need them.
Bring the chemical box.
Right away.
Yes, and you better pack
the camera the first thing.
So, it's you again.
Let me get at him.
So, you let the General
take your uniform, huh?
Oh, I...
Hey, let me go.
Hey, Hey!
Ugh.
Woody, help!
Hey!
Hey!
Put me down!
Aw, shut up.
Are you're guns ready?
This guy's dangerous.
Right in there.
That's him!
Hey, wait a minute, I'm Sgt.
Gray, Headquarter's Company.
Sure you are,
and I'm Secondary Award.
Put the braces on him.
What about these two?
We'll take them.
I'll call Headquarters.
Attention to roll call
Sgt. Bennick, Sgt. Banning,
Sgt. Tubbs, Sgt. Turner,
Sgt. Sullivan, Sgt. Gray,
Sgt. Gray, Sgt. Gray!
Sgt. Schultz, Sgt. Swift,
- Good morning, Sir.
- Morning, Tommy.
- Good morning, Peggy.
- Morning.
Any reports?
Yes, Sir.
Rather unusual.
All the men of Headquarter's Company
were without their uniforms yesterday.
Without their uniforms?
Yes, Sir.
I'll answer that.
Daddy, what happens to
a soldier who was AWOL?
Court martialed.
But suppose he has a good reason?
No soldier ever has a good reason.
Chief of the city police
on the phone, Sir.
What's he want?
He requests that you come
to his office at once, Sir.
Says they arrested three
important enemy agents.
Good.
Says that one of them claims to
be a soldier of this division.
One of our men, an enemy agent?
Ridiculous.
The Chief seems to
think it's true, Sir.
Well, let me account for these leaks.
Come on.
Captain Burnes, meet General Markley.
General.
Captain is with our
intelligence department,
he can give you all the details.
Captain the Chief tells
me you have captured three
very important enemy agents.
Only two General, the third
man is a Sergeant in Company
and was the direct means of
capturing the enemy agents.
I was just about to release him.
We can always depend on
our men, in any emergency.
What's his name?
Sergeant Robert Gray.
Sergeant Gray?
Fine soldier.
Splendid chap.
Had my eye on him for a long time.
Maloney.
Bologna?
I was calling my assistant, Maloney,
to have Gray brought in.
Never mind, I'll release Gray myself.
He's entitled to it.
Unlock this cell, would you please?
Yes, Sir.
Oh, Bob I'm so sorry.
But it's all right now.
Well, my daughter seems
to know you, Sergeant.
Why, yes, Daddy, we're old friends.
Taxi Service, you know.
Hm.
I want to congratulate you, sergeant.
You've done a fine piece of work.
Um, Yes, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
We need men like you.
I'll keep you in mind
for a possible promotion.
Thank you, Sir.
Captain, in your report to
the intelligence department,
don't forget to give proper
credit to Sergeant Gray.
Yes, Sir.
Daddy, You haven't had breakfast yet,
don't you think you and Tommy...
Have you had breakfast, Sergeant?
Not yet, Sir.
Well, come on then.
What's this?
Check for your slicker.
You're liable to need it.
Come on.
Seeing anything you
like there, Sergeant?
Sausages, and wheat cakes
would do for me, Sir.
I should have known
it would be you, Gray.
Bring me an order of
those, uh, patty cakes.
What do you want, Tommy?
Raspberries, Sir.
Attention!
Hey, take a look at that!
Attention!
It was very kind of you,
Sir, to ask me to breakfast.
Don't mention it, I hope
you enjoyed the patty cakes.
Beg pardon, Sir?
I say I hope you
enjoyed the patty cakes.
Oh, very much, Sir.
Thank you, Sir.
Sergeant, take my daughter home.
Uh, as soon as she's ready.
Yes, Sir.
See you later Peggy.
Goodbye, Dad.
And we have to pay him off.
The war ain't going to last that long.
But you haven't left, yet.
Maybe we'll still have time
for roast duck at the Rivoli.
Huh.
I have a hunch we're leaving tonight.
I'm afraid you're right.
Do you mind if I sing?
Do you mind if he sings?
I wouldn't bet a
quarter that my mental state
is what it ought to be for me.
The weather makes me dizzy And my head
keeps buzzing like a busy bee.
Oh, gee.
Apparently, I'm healthy.
I'm much too young to die.
I've got a premonition
Mr. Cupid's
going to proposition me.
I get the strangest feeling,
when I see stars above.
Just
a mention of Spring.
And they'll start to ring.
It must be love.
What is this new adventure
that I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies
and it's just the breeze,
it must be love.
My heart goes pitter-pat,
it never did that before.
Blue skies dazzle
my eyes and there's a million
bluebirds round my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven.
Just waiting on a song.
When somebody
can be as happy as me,
it must be love.
That guy is out of uniform.
Will you write me, Peggy?
Every day, Bob.
I, I hate to say goodbye.
Me, too.
All right, then.
What
is this new adventure
that I keep dreaming of?
When you hear symphonies,
and it' just a breeze.
It must be love.
What are you doing in those clothes?
Having an acute attack
of heart trouble.
Out of uniform and AWOL,
you're under arrest.
Come on, come on.
Blue
skies dazzle my eyes
and there's a million
blue birds at my door.
I'm at the gates of heaven,
just waiting for a song.
When somebody can be as
happy as me, it must be love.
I'll lay you five to one the
General comes to my wedding.
Goodnight my lucky day.
Thanks again for every
moments been a pleasure.
In my heart your memory
I shall always treasure.
Goodnight, my lucky day.
