- And rehearse 'em...

This will pay for your share

of the lease. See you later, partner.

- What are you doing? He's singing!

- So? I wanna hear an original.

- Turn that thing off!

- Turn Tulse off!

- I'll turn it off.

- Don't, Jeeter.

Women and children first!

MPs! Come on, Tulsa!

Come on, let's get out of here!

Papa, this'll take care

of the broken glasses.

Sorry, Papa.

Sarge, you're making a smart move.

Your signature on that paper

makes you a full-fledged

partner of the nightclub.

Hope I'm not making a mistake.

- I almost forgot. We need 300 bucks.

- 300?!

- A cheque'll do.

- You got 300 off me last night!

I'll try to explain.

Signing the lease is just part of it.

We need 600,

and you being our treasurer...

- I resign. Give me my dough back.

- Partners shouldn't quarrel.

What's that? Comin', Joe!

I didn't hear nothin'.

- See you later.

- Where you goin', Rick?

- Buttonhole the guy who saw Marla.

- Can I throw you a few leads?

You know I don't bother

with used phone numbers.

Did McGraw sign the lease?

He signed, but he wouldn't

come up with that dough.

Then what good is it?

We need 600. We only got three.

I know.

How are the fruleins in Frankfurt?

Great for me,

which makes it kinda tough on you.

I'll take my chances.

I followed you in Hawaii, didn't I?

And I wound up with

12 hula skirts in my foot locker.

Dynamite batted 1,000, almost.

That "almost" separates the men

from the boys.

And every time you went to bat

you stole home?

Turk was knocked out once.

Just once, huh, Turk?

- You mean Lili?

- Yeah...

- She don't count.

- Who's this Lili?

A dancer in the Caf Europa.

There ain't a GI in the division

can date her. She's a real fooler.

Steam heat outside, iceberg inside.

Yeah? I got 50 bucks

that says I can defrost her.

And I got 50 I'd like to double.

I got Lili to the door.

See if you can make it inside,

and stay around a few hours,

till dawn.

Give me three days.

- I'll give you a week.

- That's a bet.

- 10 on Dynamite.

- 20.

- I got 50.

- I got 25!

- I got 300 on Dynamite!

- 300?!

- Anybody gonna cover it?

- Yeah, sure!

Wait a minute,

I wanna piece of that. 50 bucks.

- You're with us.

- But I'm betting against you.

- I'll watch out for you.

- Hold the stakes.

- OK, come on.

- Spell my name right!

Hi, Padre!

Just getting the names

of some art galleries in Frankfurt.

Of course, of course. The Caf

Europa has some wonderful paintings.

All right, men, on the double!

Briefing from Captain Hobart.

Move out!

Come on, give me that!

Company...halt!

Right face!

At ease. This won't take long.

As you men realise, you are American

ambassadors to West Germany.
