Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion Page #7

---

soldier. What do you mean, "wounded"?

I-I just hurt my finger on that

barbed wire there. It's blood.

Before I'm through with you, you'll see

blood. You'll be surrounded by blood!

Your machine gun will riddle your enemies

until blood flows like water through a sieve.

Your sabers will hack and

slash through human flesh. Ooh!

With your trench knives, in the black

of night, you will creep up on a man...

and rip and rip

until he falls apart!

And when you wade victoriously

through the blood of your enemies,

glorying in the gore of battle,

then he'll be a Legionnaire!

I can't understand it.

First the attack on the railroad

company's construction camp at Biskra,

and now the massacre

of 40 Legionnaires at El Golea.

Sheik Hamud seems to know

our every move.

It's obvious, sir. There

must be a leak somewhere.

Quite obvious, Sergeant.

Thank you.

But how do we stop it? Every day

Hamud becomes more and more daring.

Who knows where

he'll strike next?

Sergeant, investigate

that gunfire. Yes, sir.

Sound the alert!

How do you shut it off?

Bud!

The enemy's got us surrounded.

They'll kill all of us.

Stop firing.

We surrender.

Stop firing.!

Drop that flag!

- We surrender. Stop firing.

- Drop that flag!

Look, we're outnumbered.

Why don't you surrender?

Lou!

Why didn't you shut that

gun off? I didn't know how.

Corporal, how did this happen?

I told him to assemble the gun.

Let me tell you something. That's a

dangerous thing to have in the army.

Somebody could get killed.

Throw these men

in the guardhouse.

Sergeant, you are to bring Hotchkiss

and Jones to the commandant immediately.

Take them away.

This will be a pleasure.

In here.

Oh, stop that.

Mon Commandant.

Oui?

Here are the men you sent for.

You are Hotchkiss and Jones?

You can call us Bud and Lou.

That's Bud, that's Lou. Sergeant!

Oui, mon Commandant. Give these

men a pass to go to town tonight.

- Pass? But I thought that...

- Those are orders from a source I cannot question.

Yes, sir.

You men be at

82 Rue Lafayette at 8:00.

- Us?

- Oui.

Oh, the three of us are

going? No, just you two.

Us? Oui. Yes, the three of us...

Make up your mind! Are you

goin' or aren't you goin'?

Get out! Get out of here!

Take them out of here.

Get up.

Just so you won't forget the

address, I'm writing it on the pass.

282 Rue Lafayette.

That was 82.

282. The commandant says 82.

Attention!

Hi-hi! Hi-hi!

Here it is, 282.

I don't like the looks

of this thing.

You shoot up the post,

and they give us a pass.

Why?

I don't know.

Ah, there's something wrong.

We'd better case this place. Bud?

What? There's something I wanna tell you.
