- What do you know of Sheik Hamud?

- What do I know of Sheik Hamud?

Today I outsmarted him

in a deal.

That was very clever of you,

but also very dangerous.

I'm afraid it won't be safe for

you to be out in the streets.

Well, h-how are we

gonna get out of here?

Why go? It's the Legion's

duty to protect you.

So why not stay here until I make

sure that everything's all right?

Are you sure we're not crowding

you? No, we take men in every day.

But, uh, how are we going to get

out to eat? We serve you food here.

Oh, boy! Room and board!

How much do you charge?

Nothing. Nothing? Well,

we sure appreciate it.

Isn't there something

we can do for you?

Well, just a little thing, a formality. Oh.

We like to keep a list of our guests. Sure.

You won't mind signing your name,

would you? It's mighty nice of you.

Thank you. Uh, and

you can be sure...

we'll be quiet, if you

know what I mean.

No wild parties.

That I'm sure of.

However, there are a few

little rules and regulations.

Raise your right hand, boys.

Your right hand.

I'm left-handed.

Your right hand!

Yes, sir.

Jurez-vous solennellement

de soutenir la dignite...

de la Republique Francaise

contre tous ses enemis...

vos superieurs de la Legion Etrangere?

Say, "I do. "

I do.

And you?

I do. I do.

Ohhh!

Oh, what's the matter with you?

Are you daffy?

Now that we're married, I

do hope you'll make me happy.

Ah, shut up! Cruelty! I want a divorce!

Gentlemen.! Yes, ma'am. Uh, yes, sir. What?

That's better. Well, he's

got to be one or the other.

Now, gentlemen, if you'll step through

that door, you'll be taken care of.

Through that door?

Thank you.

- We'll be seein' you.

- Every day.

You just signed up for a five-year

stretch in the Foreign Legion.

Foreign Legion?

Long live the Legion!

Come on!

Hotchkiss! Come on!

Come on, you!

You're a heavy dummy!

Climb in. I want to see how the

recruits are doing. Oui, mon Commandant.

Whew!

Brother, I'm tired. Relax.

All right, on your feet, men!

Hit the wire, on the double!

Hip-hup!

All right, Lou, follow me.

Don't worry about a thing.

Come on, Lou.

Okay, okay.

Over this way.

Hey, Bud, come on.

I'll help you.

Come on.

Yeah.

What kept you?

Huh?

Attention!

You call yourself

a Legionnaire?

You're a disgrace

to the sacred memories...

of the magnificent men of the

Legion who fought and died...

at Bouarfa, El Mers,

Medouna and Rezzas!

Not to mention

Bou Kahamouj, Mekmis, Fes.

You forgot to mention Azusa,

Anaheim and Cucamonga.

Oh! Do not despair, mon Commandant,

I'll make a Legionnaire of him one

way or the other. You are dismissed!

Attention!

You can't talk that way to a wounded
