....I stay here. The guys that want

to stay here, get overseas.

- You forget, there's a war on.

- Yeah, but what do we get to do about it?

When I was civilan, we had something going every

min. Singing, dancing, working in nightclubs.

I join the army, I sit on my hands.

I'm hungry. Think I'll inspect the

mess hall.

- Hi ya Serg. Been waiting up for me?

- How come you're late Edwards?

I was drunk. I don't blame you. With a

kisser like that, I'd be loaded all the time.

- Thank-you.

- You're welcome, now go to barracks Edwards,

get into your fatigues and report back here.

And if you have any social engagements,

call your secretary and have her cancel them.

Sergeant's real brave today.

I get any mail?

Sure took you a long time to sober up.

took me a long time to get drunk.

My new girl had a date with another

Joe last night.

What's the matter, losing your

appeal?

Does that look like I'm losing my appeal?

Wow! Very tasty.

Hello.

Hello.

-Is Sergeant Puccinelli in?

- No, he's out.

What did you want to see him

about?

It's of a rather personal nature.

- Would you like to leave a message.

- Yes, just tell him Nelly was here.

I'll be back in 10 minutes.

On second thought, do you mind if I

sit here and wait for a while.

- Oh no, go right ahead.

- Thanks.

Clark, do you have that field....

manual?

I want four copies of this Clark, it is

to go to the ad agent.

- But sir, I did this yesterday.

- Oh you did?

Yes sir.

So you did. Well, I want one more

copy.

Yes, sir.

You know, it takes fantastic

amount of paperwork to administer

even little tank company, such as we have here.

Are you ready Ernie?

Not yet dear. I'll be right with you.

I've decided we can do without

another copy of this.

- That's our commanding officer.

- Which one?

Who in the company is that girl

married to?

I don't know dear . Shall we call the

detectives?

Now darling, don't get testy.

just happen to know that she's the tidiess little girl,

she works on the post, she has calcium deficiency,

...and she's expecting.

- Expecting?

- Yes, and don't ask me what she's expecting.

Where in the world did you uncover

all of this, Mrs. Shelock Holmes?

At the clinic yesterday.

I was there for my cold shot and

one of the nurses told me about her.

Say, I just remembered, there's

been a mix-up in the OD roster.

- I know.

- I may get it.

No you won't. Lt. Tourrey is stuck

as officer of the day.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

Sally Pearson told me, that the adjutant's wife

told her, that the adjutant said so at noon.

Oh well, if Sally said so, that settles it.

How are you getting along with

Colonel Davis?

Well, that depends. How are you

getting along with Mrs. Davis?
