Gunga Din Page #3

Ballantine would be a great help, sir.

If I may remind you...

the three of us have always

brought off things very well together.

Yes, sir. He's indispensable.

Ballantine's leaving the service in six days.

He's getting married.

Couldn't you put your foot down?

Forbid the banns? Something like that?

When the parson says, "Speak now

or forever hold your peace"...

couldn't you give him a roar, sir?

You know what I mean?

Higginbotham will replace him.

Dismissed.

- Tommy, I've got you back again.

- And I've got you.

I'm here to stay, forever and ever.

Forever and ever.

That's horrible.

- She's charmed him like a snake.

- The siren.

Wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it

with my own eyes.

Me, neither.

I can't stand it.

Me, too.

Left! Right! Center!

As you were!

Company, attention!

Right turn!

Two paces forward. March!

Head up, chin in.

Get those thumbs

behind the seams of your trousers...

Get them back.

Lower that left shoulder

an eighth of an inch. That's much better.

Otherwise you're looking

very regimental, Din.

Thank you, Sergeant.

- Was salute satisfactory?

- That's the idea...

only you want these fingers

to fan the eyebrows, more like this.

The breeze from them fingers

ought to almost blow this eyebrow off.

Now try it again.

Very good, indeed.

That one almost blew your turban off,

didn't it?

Very regimental, Din.

Keep them at it, Subedar sahib.

They may need it.

Tell the Subedar to drill the men

till sundown.

- Where did you get the bugle, Din?

- Please, sahib, I find when nobody looking.

Don't you know that's very naughty?

Please, sahib, don't take away.

Bugle only pleasure for poor bhisti.

Thank you, sahib.

- Sahib care to hear new call?

- Not now.

Very regimental, Din.

Company, attention! Company, dismissed!

Let me see your tongue, Annie.

I'd like to try it, Sergeant sahib.

Very old Indian remedy.

All right, go ahead. But be careful.

If anything happens to her, I'II...

Understand? Cry my eyes out.

No, sahib!

Very little bit goes very long way.

Gulp it down quick.

Then you won't taste it.

I know. You want your daddy

to give it to you, don't you?

Daddy will give you the medicine.

Give it to me.

There. Be a nice girl, now.

Or you'll never be strong and big

like Daddy.

If Daddy took a spoonful first himself,

Baby might do a patty-cake for him.

This is delicious.

This is...

All for a nice little elephant girl.

This is lovely.

You ain't so stupid as you look.

That's better.

Annie, don't ever worry me like that again.

There you are, you two.

I've got letters for both of you.

There. Sgt. MacChesney

and Sgt. Archibald Cutter.

Look what it says here.
