Lose weight!

- Anything else, Top?

- Yeah. Here.

Is he in?

Are you the new top soldier?

- Is he in?

- He's waiting for you.

Well, tell him

I'm here. Now!

- Your name.

- Lipinsky.

- Lewisohn. Put him on your

roster. Help him with his gear.

- Aye, aye.

There.

Captain Flagg, your new

top soldier is here.

Well, it's about time.

Send him in.

Aye, sir.

- China!

- Nicaragua!

Philippines!

Sergeant Quirt reporting for duty

and requesting transfer at the same time.

- And there it is in triplicate.

- You know something.

- You're not gonna get it.

- No?

- You know why? I'm glad to see ya.

- No.

- You are?

- Yeah.

When I asked for a replacement, I thought

they'd send me a run-of-the-mill soldier.

And instead, they send me

the finest sergeant in the entire corps.

You must really be

in trouble to want me.

Cards on the table,

Quirt, I am.

I got a company made up of half

old men and half green kids who

want you to wipe their noses.

I want you to take those kids

and show 'em what they're in for.

Make 'em hard, but don't break 'em.

Eight hours of guns and drill a day.

And make them so hard they'd rather eat

steel than take a dressing down from you.

Begging your pardon, but where are you

gonna be while all this is going on?

I'm gonna be in Paris.

I got eight days leave. Why?

If you don't know why you're going to Paris,

I'd be the last one to try to tell you.

- Kiper! Kiper. All the platoon

leaders, on the double.

- Aye, sir.

- Who's this?

- Lewisohn. Came up with me.

Just got out of the hospital.

- Wounded, soldier?

- No, sir. Measles.

Measles!

Measles!

Babies. Always

sending me babies.

Look. I wanna show you the layout.

Come in.

We're holding over here.

On our left is the French.

Another baby to see you, Captain Flagg.

Charmaine, what are

you doing here?

I've changed my mind.

I'm going with you.

I don't mind if you're going to be

busy in Paris. I'll be busy too.

I'll bet!

Charmaine, I thought we settled

all this last night.

First, I can't take you to Paris

because of your father and my wife.

Second, I haven't got room

on the motorcycle.

Third, I might not stay in Paris.

This is gonna be one of

the biggest meetings of the war.

- General Pershing himself is gonna be there.

- You're a terrible liar. Is he not, Sergeant?

- Huh?

- It's not true that General

Pershing would talk to him?

It's true, lady. Absolutely true.

Captain Flagg here is a very important man.

He has to go to Paris.

As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here.

I'm what you'd call

a sort of a... replacement.

- I do not understand.

- Never mind. And don't you try

to explain either.
