The Phil Silvers Show (1955–1959): Season 3, Episode 9 - Cherokee Ernie - full transcript

Bilko is inducted into the Cherokee Indian tribe & discovers a document that indicates that Oklahoma belongs to the Indians. Using his skills and his new-found Indian heritage he sets out once again to make his fortune.

Over Hill, Over Dale...

Hey Paparelli, lend
me your hair tonic.

Sorry, Zimmerman, I
just used up the last drop.

I even put some on my eyebrows.

Boy, what a furlough
this is gonna be.

Yeah, 2 weeks away
from Fort Baxter!

Wow! No motor pool, no grease,

no reveille, just at
home with the wife.

The wife, the kids,
my mother-in-law,

the neighbors, oh no.

Oh Fender.



Boy, what a dish I
got waiting for me.

She can't wait for
me to get off the bus.

Hey where's Bilko with
our Welfare Fund though?

My train leaves in half an hour.

He's in his room
dividing it up right now.

What a great idea saving up all
the money for one big furlough.

Yeah, this is the first time
I won't have to hitchhike

to Staten Island, just think,
an upper berth all to myself.

Hey Doberman, the train
leaves in half an hour.

Why aren't you dressed?

- I am.
- He's dressed!

If you were a building
you'd be condemned.

Hey Sarge.

There they are, feast your eyes.



There they stand, the Fort
Baxter Beau Brummels.

It isn't fair.

It isn't fair the Army to turn
all these charmers loose

on unsuspecting womanhood.

Hey Sarge, smell my eyebrows.

Oh Paparelli you sly
dog. She'll go wild.

Lay the loot right there, Sarge.

- Let's divvy up the Welfare Fund.
- Right in the hand, I'm in a hurry.

Can I have mine
in silver, Sarge?

You can't put dollar bills
in the candy machine.

Cpl. Barbella will you
please accept my apologies,

you were right, I was wrong.

I said no, no they're
much too sensible

to spend all this money
on one wild spree.

Why should they blow
months of hard earned saving

on 2 weeks of reckless abandon.

No lectures, Sarge. Just
put the money right there.

On my own time, I got
a right to be reckless.

You, you are the one
that surprises me Fender.

- Me?
- I always looked at you

as the elder
statesman of this group.

I thought of you as the
Bernard Baruch of the platoon.

And look at you turning
young and foolish.

Well, it's about time, Sarge.

Yeah.

That's the way you want it.

Yeah, that's the
way we want, Sarge.

Personally, I think the
perfect place for a furlough

is right here in Fort Baxter.

Fort Baxter? Personally
I think you're nuts.

Is it nuts to say
see Fort Baxter first?

Is it nuts to say find your own
happiness in your own backyard?

We want our money.

Well, all right, I
guess majority rules.

- Okay.
- Yeah, let's get the money.

Have you ever
heard that old proverb,

the grass seems greener
in the other fellow's yard...

Hurry up with the farewell
speech, Sarge, just the money.

- Yeah Sarge.
- All right, just think,

wouldn't it be wiser
to let our little nest

to grow and grow
and then next year

really have a
furlough for ourselves?

What do you fellas think?

- Oh I'm for it!
- Great idea, Sarge.

Now that's 2, the rest of
you, give me a show of hands.

So long fellows, I'm
starting to hitchhike right now.

Wait, wait! Aren't
you gonna wait for...?

- What money?
- Well, the money in the wel...

Well, just think of
beautiful Fort Baxter

with its shaded walks,
the birds at eventide.

What happened to
the money, Sarge?

And it better be a good story.

I don't need any
stories for you Mullen.

When you put that
money in the Welfare Fund,

it was like putting in a bank.

Did the bank run out of money?
Fender, I don't want grizzies.

- No, I...
- Don't start giving me the grizzies.

You know that banks
don't run out of money

but know you have to
make it a little wisecrack.

"Did the bank run out of money?"

And you know nothing
about financial statements?

Keep quiet!

All right, let's
put it this way,

the bank didn't
run out of money.

No, the horse ran
out of the money.

- The horse, Sarge.
- It seemed such a sound investment.

The jockey promised me he
could fix the race but he lied.

Can you trust people
these days, can you?

There goes a beautiful dream.

How about that? A
furlough at Fort Baxter.

- Oh Sarge, how could you?
- It just isn't like you.

Oh it's like him all right.
But how could you...?

Fellas, I promise
you, next year.

Paparelli, I wanna see you.

Charlie White Eagle
always pays his debts.

Here's the 20 I owe you.

20, thanks chief.
- What 20?

How are you there
White Eagle, noble friend?

You know, personally
the bond between

the red man and the white man
has always been sacred to me.

- How are you boy?
- Knock it off Bilko.

I need every dime I've got.

When I get back from
my furlough though,

I can let you have some.

Back from your furlough,
you're gonna have money

when you get back
from your furlough?

I'll be loaded.

Look, turn me down if you wanna,

but please don't
give me stories.

No story, Ernie, honest injun.

I live near the Tulsa oil field.

Oh I see, I suppose
you get the overflow.

Well, in a way.

See, when those
guys from the oil field

hit town on Saturday night,

there's more poker games
than there are tables.

- No kidding.
- No kidding.

Sarge, you never saw
such a bunch of crazy guys.

They don't care what
they do with their money.

They just like to
throw it around.

They don't care whether
they win or they lose.

They don't care?

Sarge, I tell you for a guy
who's got a pack of cards,

it's a paradise.
- Sarge?

I can't talk, my
mouth is watering.

How much is it to Tulsa?

- 20 bucks.
- Paparelli.

Sarge, my train is leaving in...

Not your train, my
train and the boys train.

I promise you're
gonna have a furlough.

All I ask you is to stand by

till I hit that game
tomorrow night.

Boys, you're gonna
get this money.

I'll wire it to
you. I'll wire...

Is that a promise, Sarge?
Did I ever lie to you?

Doberman, pack my bag.
On the double. Hi-yar-a-up!

I can hardly wait to get
to that happy hunting rally!

Hey, when do we get to
Tulsa? My fingers are itchy.

I must have dealt
100 hands already.

Take it easy, Ernie.

The action doesn't
start till tonight.

Oh meanwhile, we're
gonna check into my house.

You're gonna stay with my folks.

Oh really, hey, that's
nice of you White Eagle.

Is it all right with your folks?

Well, you know there's
an old Indian saying,

"There's always room in
the wigwam for one more."

How about your parents, I
mean are they old fashioned?

A little bit, you know
how parents are.

But you'll like them,
especially my sister.

- Your sister?
- Yeah, Shawnatooma.

She's a wonderful girl.

Shawnatooma,
that's a lovely name.

- What does it mean?
- It means moonlight maiden.

Ah you'll love her
Bilko. She's real sweet.

Shawnatooma, moonlight maiden.

Think I'll grab
a little shut eye.

By The Land Of
The Sky Blue Waters,

I'll Wait My Own True Love!

By The Land Of
The Sky Blue Waters,

Your Own True Love Is Here!

Ah, Running Fox!

Shawnatooma's heart
fills with happiness

to see Running Fox once more.

Running Fox has
travelled many moons,

across mountains, over forests
to see his love Shawnatooma

and bring her a gift.

How beautiful.

Where you get such
beautiful beads?

Running Fox makes smart deal.

Running Fox sell Manhattan.

How fortunate
Shawnatooma is to have the

love of the bravest
warrior in tribe.

Running Fox is tall
and straight as an arrow,

swift as the wind, so
strong, so handsome.

Shawnatooma speak the truth.

Shawnatooma loves Running Fox.

Running Fox know
how Shawnatooma feel.

Running Fox also
love Running Fox.

Running Fox see wolf.

We get wolf. Running
Fox never miss.

Where is that..there wolf hide?

He thinks he hide
from Running Fox

but Running Fox go and get wolf.

Running Fox's arrow
fly straight and true.

Right in the la bonza.

That's why the village
speak of Running Fox

as the four eyes
that see as a hawk.

Running Fox hear war drums.

Running Fox must go and
join tribe who go on warpath.

When will Shawnatooma's
warrior return?

Only when the rains
have come and gone

and when the wheat is high
and the grass grows green

and the moon is fill again.

- You mean?
- Thursday.

Until then,
Shawnatooma wait for me.

Wait for me!

Running Fox walk.

By The Land Of
The Sky Blue Water,

Sarge!

Your Own True Love Is Here.

Sarge, Sarge.

Hey this is where
we get off, come on!

I've forgot to kiss her goodbye.

Hey come on, the folks
are expecting us for dinner.

- Oh, yeah dinner.
- Will Shawnatooma be there?

She never misses a meal.

You know I've never had
dinner with an Indian family.

- What's it like?
- Oh there's nothing to it, Ernie.

We just go out and kill a
buffalo and then after dinner

we sit around and
smoke a peace pipe.

Well okay, the fire water's
on me. Let's get the bags.

Hiya folks! Here we are Mom.

- Hi.
- Charlie!

- How is my boy?
- Hey Charlie boy,

you sure are a
sight for sore eyes.

Hiya Dad.

Oh, oh Mom, Dad
say hello to Ernie Bilko.

- Ernie Bilko.
- How are you?

Any friend of Charlie's
is a friend of ours.

- Hiya Charlie.
- Hiya kid.

Oh Ernie, this is my
kid brother Deerfoot.

- Hiya there, Deerfoot.
- Forget that Deerfoot stuff.

I'm a space operator.
See you later.

I gotta blast off.

Say Mom, what's for
dinner? We're starving.

I made your favorite,
corned beef and cabbage.

Oh you and that buffalo meat.

Hey what are we
doing standing out here.

- Come on in.
- Thank you.

Can I get you
anything Mr. Bilko?

Would you like to
wash up before dinner?

- Oh thanks very much.
- Everything is just fine.

What are you looking
for, Ernie, Tomahawks?

- Oh come on!
- Oh say Mom, where is
Shawnatooma?

I'll call her.

Shawnatooma, your
brother and a friend are here.

- Shawnatooma!
- Shawnatooma, moonlight maiden.

- Charlie boy!
- Hiya, sis.

Let me look at you,
man you're the most.

Well, you don't
look so bad yourself.

Oh Shawnatooma,
this is a friend of mine,

Sgt. Ernie Bilko.

Hiya Sergeant, those
stripes are the greatest.

They are the most.
Sarge, you're the living end.

This is Shawnatooma,
moonlight maiden?

Shawnatooma, you wouldn't think

she was raised in a
nice American home.

I'll go see to dinner.
It'll only take an hour.

Come on Shawna,
come and help Dad.

All right mother. Now
make yourselves at home.

Thank you. Hey I don't
wanna bother them.

It'll take an hour she said.
We gotta to get to Tulsa.

Oh that's right Sarge.

Hey Mom, Mom, listen we
won't be able to wait for dinner.

We've got to leave
for Tulsa right away.

Won't be able to wait?

Hey, now where are you
going? You just got here.

Yeah, we got some
business in Tulsa.

It'll only take us a few
minutes and we'll be right back.

Oh now wait a minute...

Hi folks, Silver Star, sorry
to bust in on you like this.

Well what is it Blackhawk?

We got trouble. They
damned up Culver Creek.

Culver Creek? But
they can't do that.

Charlie, did you hear that?
They've damned up Culver Creek.

Damned it up? Did
you hear that, Ernie?

They'll do it every
time. Let's get to Tulsa.

This is terrible. If Culver
Creek is damned up,

we won't have enough
water for our cattle.

That's bad. There
goes the ranch.

What do you mean
there goes the ranch?

Well, you can't run a
ranch without water.

How long have you
been using this water?

All our lives.

Well, then you
automatically got the rights,

it's the law of perpetuity.

It's simple. Come
on kid, let's go.

Hey wait a minute,
the Sergeant's right.

Say, he knows the law.

Sergeant, will you come with us
and tell that to the Indian agent?

You say it so good.

I'd like to but we got a
little business in Tulsa.

Oh come on down and
see the Indian agent, Ernie.

It'll only take a few minutes.

Look, White Eagle the guys are
waiting for me to call them about...

- Oh please Sgt. Bilko.
- We'd appreciate it.

- Huh, Sarge?
- Well, all right.

After all, you were nice enough

to show the pilgrims
how to plant corn.

Come on!

I don't know if I
should do this.

- All right.
- Yes, what can I do for you?

Go ahead Sgt.
Bilko, speak for us.

On behalf of these
people, I'm here to protest

the damning up of Culver Creek.

One moment, what's your name?

Ernest G. Bilko,
now these people...

- You a lawyer, Bilko?
- No, but...

- You an Indian, Bilko?
- No, but...

Not buts, only an Indian
or their legal representative

can negotiate for any tribe.

Now isn't that
a little unfair...

That's all Bilko, I'm
a very busy man.

This law was designed
to protect the Indians

from greedy opportunists.

Greedy opportunists?
Get this straight.

I was merely standing
in the living room.

I wanted to go to Tulsa.

That's right, we asked him.

Sorry, we have our rules.

You come back when
you're a lawyer or an Indian.

- I'm busy.
- Well, I tried.

I'm sure you can work it out.

Come on let's get to Tulsa.

Wait a minute,
I think I've got it.

- What?
- Look, the man said only

a lawyer or an
Indian could negotiate.

- So?
- Alright we'll make Bilko an Indian

An Indian?

That's right Sarge, we could
make you a blood brother.

We could perform the
ceremony right here.

- What'll we have to do?
- I don't know.

- Dad how is it done?
- I don't know either.

All right, when you
think of it, wire me.

- I'll be in Tulsa.
- Come on.

No wait, Sarge, my
father should remember.

That's right, Sarge,
Grandpa would know.

Come on, Ernie.

Now look, you know the boys
are waiting to hear from me.

- Let's get to Tulsa.
- Ernie, please it won't take long.

Now would you Sergeant?

Well, all right, after all,

you did show us
how to play Lacrosse.

Come on.

- Well? Well?
- Have you thought of it yet Father?

Can you ask him
to hurry it up kid?

Think Grandfather, think.

How can we make
him a blood brother?

Ah, first you take
paw of mountain lion.

Paw of mountain lion.

- Root from juniper bush.
- Root from juniper bush.

- Feather from hawk tail.
- I think he's got it.

- Is that it?
- No, that's poison for arrowhead.

- Poison?
- Why don't you just adopt me?

Wait! Wait!

- I think he's got it now.
- Take bark from birch tree.

- Bark from birch tree.
- No, that's for canoe.

Oh this could go on all day
kid. We gotta get out of here.

- Think! Think!
- Memory failing.

You have to ask
someone older and wiser.

- Older and wiser?
- Yes, my Father.

Oh now it's his Father.

Look, this is gettin'
ridiculous first you didn't know,

your Father didn't know,
your Grandfather didn't know,

your Great Grandfather...

Look, when we get to
Sitting Bull I'm quitting.

Come on! Let's go.

- Ita kora la humpa.
- La humpa.

Hey this blood brother
ceremony ain't bad.

This tastes pretty good.

Now you've eaten
heart of rattle snake.

Heart of rattle snake?

Rise, face Noona, Sun God.

Wait, you facing
Moglie, Moon God.

- Oh.
- Noona, here.

Oh, you've got to excuse me,

I get them both
mixed up all the time.

Oh Great Noona, welcome
this Paleface into Cherokee Tribe

and save place for him
in Happy Hunting Ground.

Now you smoke peace pipe
you blood brother of tribe.

Oh boy, that makes
me official, huh?

Hey that's a pretty
long ceremony Chief.

- How did you remember it?
- Who remembers it?

Just see John Wayne movie.
- No Great Grandfather.

Son of son of son of Father
does not get peace pipe.

He's right, son of Father,
son's Father gets peace pipe.

No, Father son of eldest
son's Father get peace pipe.

No, no, Father's Father's son...

No Grandfather you
told me 2 weeks ago.

Hold it! Hold it! Wait a minute.

Son of nobody
will get peace pipe.

We'll be here all
year, where is it?

On wall. Oh here it is.

Wow, I guess you
haven't used this in years.

- There's some paper on it.
- Is this anything?

Someone must have
just, hmm, it looks

looks like a document
of some kind.

There's some writing
on this, wait a minute.

It looks official.

It says, "Treaty
between Cherokee Nation

and the Government
of the United States

for the territory
called Owitashi."

Imagine this, this
is a treaty paper.

This must be over 100 years old.

What does that mean Owitashi?

Oh that's the Indian
name for Oklahoma.

Oh I see, "We the
chiefs of the 5 tribes

hereby grant authority for
the land known as Owitashi..."

And it's signed by the
chiefs of the 5 tribes.

And wait a minute, there's
only 4 signatures here.

It's only signed by 4 chiefs.

That's right, my father
Chief White Cloud, no sign.

- He no like treaty.
- Do you know what this means?

This means that
Oklahoma belongs to us.

- Us?
- Yes, us Cherokees.

- Give me that pipe.
- From now on, you Cherokee Brave.

You'll be called Bald Eagle.

Do you know what this means...
we've got the whole state.

I wanna make you Governor.

You're gonna be the
Senator and you daddy,

I'm gonna make you
coach at Oklahoma U.

Owitashi, eh?

- Yes siree!
- What do you want now, Bilko?

The name is Bald Eagle

Oh you became an
Indian since you left here?

You can say that again, I
went through a whole ceremony.

I even ate rattle snake.

Bald Eagle is right, we
made him a blood brother.

Now he's an Indian Paleface.

Well, what's on
your mind, Bilko?

Uh, uh, uh ekuya ekuya

All right, what do
you want Bald Eagle?

Only what rightfully
belongs to us Cherokees.

- And what is that?
- Oklahoma!

What?

I'm filing this claim
on behalf of my people.

May I use your phone?

Hello miss, give
me the Tulsa Herald.

Don't you worry, you'll
be well taken care of

for your kind cooperation.

I'll see that you get the
blanket selling concession

at the railroad station.

Oh City desk,
hold the front page!

Bald Eagle have
um plenty big story!

From all corners of Oklahoma,

Indians are gathering to back
the claim of their new leader,

Bald Eagle that Oklahoma
belongs to the Cherokees.

Here we see Bald Eagle
addressing the assembled tribes.

He is talking to them
in sign language.

Bald Eagle has just promised
them a high tariff and low taxes.

Bald Eagle is telling the
Braves that Oklahoma

will demand a seat
in the United Nations.

All right, all right boys

Simmer down! Simmer down!

Clint, what's this all about?
I've been away for the weekend.

I wouldn't have called
this meeting, boys,

if I didn't think
it was serious.

The Cherokees are claiming
that they still own Oklahoma.

Now, I don't have to tell you
what this could mean to us.

That's ridiculous!

I've asked Professor Stratton
of the Historical Society

to sit in and maybe
give us some advice.

Clint, this is
plumb foolishness.

Who is this
troublemaker, Bald Eagle?

Must be one of them out
of town New York Indians.

No, no, this Bald
Eagle I found out

is an Army Sergeant
by the name of Bilko.

He's just one of them
mere honorary Indians.

Heck, why don't we give
him a couple of hundred bucks

and buy the carpetbagger off?

Yeah, you've got
something there.

That's what I'm aiming to try.

He's waiting outside,
Miss Henderson?

- Yes.
- You get him in here please?

Now listen boys, just leave
this to me when he comes in.

- You may come in now.
- All right, you handle him.

How! Stay here squaw,

I may use you
for some dictation.

Come in brother Cherokees.

How, How.

Chief, this of course
will be your office.

We'll have to change it
around, brighten up the colors.

On the wall we'll have a lively
mural, Custer's Last Stand.

Now look here Bilko...

Uh, uh, the name is Bald Eagle.

Now Bald Eagle you see here...

I think I'll just use
this chair right here.

- Bald Eagle would you?
- Here, here, peace, peace.

- Peace, peace.
- Peace.

Now you look here, Bald
Eagle, you've stirred up

the whole state with
this phony claim of yours.

But we're gonna be
more than generous.

We're prepared to offer you $500

to withdraw this nuisance
claim and get out of town.

- Yeah, how about that.
- That'll take care of everything.

Gentlemen, please you're
insulting a proud race.

There can be no
compromise with justice.

Bilko, I'm a lawyer.

I've looked over
that Treaty of 1873,

it was legal then
and it's legal now.

Yeah, you tell him Matt.

Just a minute, you
say you're a lawyer?

I am.

I think as a lawyer, you
will agree no treaty is legal

unless it's signed by all
the principals, am I right?

That's right.

Would you mind examining
the copy of this treaty

and tell me if that's
not legal, please?

I'm familiar with it.

I know you are, if you'll
just count the signatures.

About the signatures
by the throat.

Here is the Governor's signature

and here's the 5 Cherokee
chiefs, 1, 2, 3, 4... 4?

Well, come on
Calhoun, keep counting!

No, he's through counting.

You see, the 5th Cherokee
chief never did sign this treaty.

You couldn't put
anything over on him.

- He was a heap smart Indian.
- May I see that treaty?

- Now what does it mean?
- Now come on Calhoun, what does
this mean?

Oh gentlemen, I, I think
we should be reasonable.

Now Chief Bald Eagle
here has been good enough

to call this slight
inaccuracy to our attention

and I think we should
repay the gesture

by raising our offer a
trifle from $500 to say,

half a million.
- Half a million?

Please gentlemen, I'll have
to confer with the elder chief.

- Refuse!
- Refuse?

It's out of the question.

Of course chief, we'll have to
change the name of Oklahoma

back to its original
name, Owitashi.

We'll get Rodgers
and Hammerstein

to change that
musical of theirs.

And as the eyes of
the nation are focused

on a little conference
room at Oklahoma,

we still have no
decision at this point.

Apparently Bald Eagle,

who is really a United
States Army Sergeant,

is holding fast to his position.

That's the news up until now.

We will interrupt our
regularly scheduled program

to announce any new
developments that might arise.

And now, a word about dog
food, say friends I wanna...

Here's the late bulletin that
has just been handed to me.

"Bald Eagle has just turned
down the latest offer of $750,000.

Stay tuned for the
latest news development.

Look, what do you want?
Never mind Calhoun.

Bilko, I mean Bald Eagle,

I'll tell you what
we're going to do.

I want you to forget
this whole thing

and in return here's
our cheque for $1 million.

Well, now you're
starting to get to me.

Now you just divide that
among your Cherokees

and we'll all be happy.

Chief, how many
Cherokees are in Oklahoma?

Maybe 10,000.

10,000 gentlemen, do
you realize that $1 million

divided amongst 10,000
comes to $100 a Cherokee?

Why any Indian worth his salt

can make more than that
in 1 day at Warner Brothers.

- This is ridiculous.
- Let's talk business, Bald Eagle.

Just what would you
consider a fair offer?

Well, rather than go through
a lengthy court dispute,

I'd say $50 million!

$50 million? Well,
that's ridiculous, Bilko.

If we give you that much money,
well, what's to become of us?

- Yes, we can't afford it.
- What will happen to us?

Don't be alarmed,
we thought of you.

You see we're gonna
buy Palm Beach

and turn it into a
reservation for you.

Oh you'll be well taken care of.

We'll give you $2 million
and not one cent more.

Now, wait a minute.

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

May I have your attention
for a moment please?

I refuse to be blackmailed
by this, this land grabber.

Write that, that'll cost
you now $60 million.

$60 million? Why you...

Yes, you wanna
try for $70 million?

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

I think I have found the
solution to our problem.

Hold it now, let's listen
to a man of learning,

perhaps he knows
what he's talking about.

Go right ahead, professor.

As you know, I am an
expert on the Cherokee tribe

and this treaty is quite legal.

Now you see, when a man knows...

How can it be legal if one
of the chiefs didn't sign?

Chief White Cloud's signature
wasn't necessary on the document

since he was only 9
years old at the time

and still a minor
even by Indian law.

Gentlemen, the
Cherokees have decided

to accept your kind offer of...

The offer is withdrawn,
come on boys!

- Wait! Wait a second!
- Come on make it happen.

How about 100, a
string of beads and...

I'm sorry blood
brothers, I tried.

Bald Eagle, the name is Bilko,
Ernest G. Bilko, G for greedy.

On behalf of the
Oklahoma Historical Society,

I'm prepared to
make you an offer

of $10,000 for this
valuable document.

$10,000, for this antique
that's priceless value?

You offer a paltry $10,000?

- Do you know how...
- Professor, you've got um deal!

Hey, the Sarge really
came through after all.

Imagine spending a
furlough on a ranch.

Boy, isn't this gonna
be fun? Yahoo!

Hey, hey! Where is Bilko?

I don't know partner. I
reckon he went that-a-way.

Hey fellows, here
comes Tex Doberman.

What happened, Tex?

Some wise guys out
there tried to brand me.

- Brand him.
- They thought you were a sheep.

Did you see what I just saw?

- Hey!
- I promised you...

Sarge, my Father's
got great news.

- Tell him Pop.
- Sgt. Bilko I closed the deal.

With that money you got
us from the Historical Society,

we bought the land next door.

Now we've got plenty of water.
- Hey, that's great.

Did you meet the
boys of the platoon?

- Hiya boys!
- Hi! Hi!

Any friends of Sgt. Bilko
are always welcome here.

- Hear that?
- After all he's our blood brother.

Is that right, Sarge?

That's right Paleface.
This is my blood brother.

This is my blood father.

- I went through a whole ceremony.
- You did?

Here's some snacks
boys, come and get it.

Hey Sarge!

When they hear
food, they go berserk.

Aren't you gonna
have some too, Sarge?

It's you.

- Hello.
- Don't you remember me?

- Have we met?
- Of course.

Oh I'm sorry, Sarge. This
is my other sister Rima.

She just got in from college.

I'm Running Fox, don't
you remember me?

I shot the wolf. I
brought you beads.

Oh well, we can talk
about that at dinner tonight.

We do have a date for dinner?
- Excuse me, Sarge.

But Rima is going out with us

but we'll be able to see her
at family reunions, Sarge.

What is this?

Sarge, if White Eagle is your
brother then Rima is your sister.

And no girl likes to go
out with their brother.

Come on Rima. You're
coming out with us.

See you, Sarge.

Oh White Eagle, is
your grandfather still up?

- Uh huh?
- Here tell him,

I turned in my feather.
Rima wait for me!

Rima!
