Battle Cry Page #4

and he wants to go back to the reservation.

Tell that man there'll be

no swearing here on Sunday.

I wonder who's stuck

with guard duty tonight.

I think I see your name up there.

Put it back, Joseph.

I was just going to borrow it.

The last time you borrowed something,

I never saw it again.

Hey, you accusing me

of something dishonest?

Just put it back, please.

You think you're so smart

because you read all the time.

I ain't liked you since boot camp.

I've got a notion to loosen you

from a few teeth...

...Sister Mary.

Now, wait a minute.

I was only fooling with you.

What'd you go and do that for?

I saw what happened to one fellow

who tried to shake your hand.

That was a lucky punch.

You know that, huh?

You're the only guy alive

who can do that to old Spanish Joe...

...and live to tell about it.

What you reading?

Plato.

You mean they wrote a whole big book

about Mickey Mouse's dog?

You know something?

I like you, Mary.

You stick with me

and I'll get you over the rough spots.

What you think of old Spanish Joe now?

I think you're

the most obnoxious person I ever met.

What's that, obnoxious?

You stink.

That's because I was eating garlic.

Hey, kid, you got guts.

You and me's going to be buddy-buddy.

Thanks, Mac.

Don't do that with my hat!

What's the matter with you?

Miss, would you please pick it up for me?

All right. What'll you have?

Give me a cheeseburger

and a cup of coffee.

And how about a piece

of that apple pie too?

What's yours?

I think I'll have something different.

My name's Andy.

What time you getting off duty?

I have just two words for you.

Remind me to tell you what they are later.

Why not now?

Later's always better.

- What are you doing?

- Looking for Ski.

- He cracked up.

- What happened?

- He got a letter and tore the barracks apart.

- He went crazy and threw his bed at me.

He drew all the money he had stashed away,

over $400, and headed into San Diego.

Mac's looking for him.

He told us to wait here.

Something must've gone wrong

with his girl, Susan.

- We found him. Come on.

- Let's go.

Here's a couple of bucks.

I'll see you later.

Is he still in there?

Okay.

That's the kind of joint this is.

If he ain't in the bar, he's upstairs.

We don't want no trouble.

But, just in case, get your belts ready.

Let's go, sailors.

Can I help you fellows?

We're looking for a buddy of ours, a Marine PFC.

- He's a little loaded. You seen him?

- He ain't here.

He come in here 10 minutes ago,

and he ain't come out yet.

- Mind if we take a look?

- Wait!

I said he ain't here!

- I guess maybe we made a mistake.

- Yeah.

Thanks a lot.

Excuse me, please.

Thank you, thank you.
