Your conduct during your tour of duty

is of the greatest importance.

There should be no black sheep,

which regretfully is not the case.

Sergeant Bixby. You're a good soldier

in every respect but one.

- German fathers are complaining.

- I don't know any German fathers.

Might be better if you did.

We put our heads together

and we decided to ship you to Alaska.

- Captain, you can't do that!

- Who said that?

You take off at 1000 hours.

Fall into a train at 0950. Questions?

Company...attention!

Dismiss your platoons.

Dismissed.

You better see

what you can do with Turk.

Would you like some sugar

with your coffee?

- Two lumps.

- Gladly. Gladly.

Turk, all we want is a fair shake.

That's all.

It's not our fault that Dynamite's

being shipped to Alaska.

- What do you say?

- OK, I'll give you a fair shake.

- Thanks.

- Any of your outfit can try Lili.

- Quit kidding.

- Cookie, we're going!

- My gear!

- It's on board!

- What do you say? The bet's off?

- The bet's on!

Good luck! You're gonna need it!

You've gotta help, we're in a spot.

Look, you guys, with me romancing

a girl is a hobby, not a business.

If I'm romantic

I can't think about money.

- OK, who's second on the list?

- Jeeter.

He's been married six times.

Somebody must have liked him.

Maybe there's still a spark left.

I'll ask him.

300 bucks down the drain. I'm in real

trouble with the Sarge this time.

You're not the only one in a jam.

There's Rick and me, our nightclub

in Oklahoma, everything.

You just blew The Three Blazes.

- I guess I did.

- I knew you wouldn't let us down!

- I can't take Dynamite's place!

- You're modest. That's what we need!

An unassuming, gentleman-type

fellow to get his foot in a door!

- Quick, take over! Hey, fellas!

- Look out, Cookie.

- I found out where Marla's working.

- Good. You're in business.

Looks like we both are.

Tulsa's gonna take Dynamite's place!

What a welcome. Nothing.

Who and what are you waving at?

What have I got to lose?

Somebody might wave back.

I was saving this for my wedding,

but this is more important.

If I'm gonna do this,

don't put that smelly stuff on me.

- Any luck with Marla?

- I gotta go there before closing.

- Good luck.

- Good luck!

How you gonna

break the ice with this gal?

Charm, boy. Charm. I walk up to her

and say, "All my life, Lili,

"I been hoping to meet

a gorgeous babe like you.

- "Let's go to your apartment."

- No, no, be more subtle.

Yeah? How's this: "Little girl,

"I'm not one of those GI wolves

that hang around nightclubs.

"Give me a key

and I'll meet you at home."

- That's subtle!

- He's kidding, Harvey.

Relax, guys, I'll play it my way.
