HOLMES:
Oh, yes. Bring him in.
5.
Holmes goes into his office. Warden jerks his thumb toward
the door. Prewitt goes into the office. Warden follows him.
.
INT. CAPTAIN'S OFFICE - DAY
Holmes is seated at his desk as Prewitt and Warden enter. A
placard on it reads: CAPTAIN HOLMES. A smaller desk nearby
has a placard' reading: 1ST SERGEANT WARDEN. Warden seats
himself at this desk. On the walls are framed photographs of
prizefighters as well as one of a large golden trophy. On
Holmes' desk is a small framed photograph of a very
attractive blonde woman. Prewitt comes to attention in front
of Holmes' desk.
PREWITT:
Sir, Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt
reporting to the Compny Commander
as ordered.
HOLMES:
At ease.
(takes papers out of
drawer, glances through
them)
They sent your service record
over... Twenty-two years of age...
born in Kentucky... enlisted first
at Fort Myer, Virginia... Bugle
Corps... re-enlisted for overseas
duty... Fort Shafter... First
Bugler...
(benignly)
Prewitt, I always make it a policy
to talk to my new men. It's
important for an officer and his
men to understand each other. Now I
have a fine smooth-running outfit.
ANGLE FEATURING WARDEN
Holmes cannot see Warden who is grinning at Prewitt with
unholy glee.
HOLMES:
Plenty of room for advancement for
a man who knows how to soldier. But
he's got to show me he's got it on
the ball. I don't know what you've
been used to in the Bugle Corps,
but in my outfit we run it by the
book. What kind of trouble were you
in over there?
6.
PREW:
No trouble, sir.
HOLMES:
What made you transfer out, then?
PREW:
It's a personal matter, air.
HOLMES:
Oh. I see...
He studies Prew for a moment, sees Warden on the edge of his
chair, watching hawk-like.
HOLMES:
Something you wanted to ask,
Sergeant?
.
WARDEN:
(explodes suddenly)
Who? Me? Whv, yes, air. You had
Corpral's stripes in the Bugle
Corps, Prewitt. You took a bust to
buck Private to transfer to an
Infantry Compny. Why? Because you
like to hike?
PREW:
I dint have no trouble if that's
what you mean.
WARDED:
(grins suddenly)
Or was it just because you couldn't
stand to bugle?
PREW:
It was a personal matter.
WARDEN:
That's up to the Compny Commander's
discretion to decide.
PREW:
(looks straight at Warden)
All right. I was First Bugler at
Shafter for two years. The topkick
had a friend who transferred in
from the states. Next day he made
7.
WARDEN:
And you asked out on account of
that!?
PREY:
Maybe I just ain't sensible... But
that's the reason.
WARDEN:
(snorts)
His feelings were hurt! Kids they
send us now!
