and raise you a hatchet.

I call your hatchet

and raise you a sledgehammer.

I'll see you.

- What do you got?

- Queens.

- How many?

- One.

Beats me.

(OFFICER SHOUTING ORDERS)

One, two, three, four. Order arms.

One, two, three. Port arms.

One, two. Order arms.

Where'd you get this blunderbuss?

Well, Sergeant, I can't exactly say

I found it lying around.

Port arms. One, two.

Order arms. One, two.

Right shoulder, turn. One, two, three, four.

Order arms. One, two, three.

That's pretty good.

Order arms. One, two, three, four.

Dismissed!

What's this?

- Seems like old Cephie's got the pip.

- She's terrible sick, Sergeant Mike.

I'm worried sick about her, myself.

I don't know what to do. She's really sick.

The vet been here, yet?

Yeah. He said maybe it's some weeds

that she ate on the parade ground

and now she's got poison wind,

but that don't seem right

because I remember

she ate a whole field full of weeds once

and never acted like this.

I don't think the vet knows what to do.

- An old Sioux remedy.

- A Sioux remedy?

Herbs, mixed by the dark of the moon

by six medicine men.

Now, that ain't gonna hurt her none, is it?

You know I wouldn't hurt Cephie.

That's all you use? Just that little bit, huh?

No, that's all you need.

You see, this is very strong.

A little bit goes a long way.

(BRAYING)

You feel better now, Cephie?

I think she's all right.

Good girl, Cephie.

Why don't you get yourself a girl

and join in?

That's "Shoemaker's Holiday."

March, march.

Why don't they give them some guns

so they can go through

the Manual of Arms?

When did you ever do any marching,

or anything else?

I got a lot of endorsements in my file.

- You have? For what?

- I don't remember.

Hi, Boswell.

Evening, Boswell.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Parent,

and good night.

- Good night.

- Darling.

Well, Sergeant, now that your party

is off to a good start,

I believe Mrs. Collingwood and I will leave.

- Won't you stay, sir?

- I think you'll have a better time

- if we leave.

- Go ahead and dance. Enjoy yourselves.

- Good night.

- Good night, sir.

Have a good night. Good night.

Good night.

Well, what's the matter with you

two fellas? Couple of wallflowers?

Oh, no, sir.

You see, we've been working too hard

trying to get the detail ready to go.

Well, don't strain yourself, Sergeant.

- Night.

- Good night.

"Oh, no, sir.

You see, we've been working too hard

"trying to get the detail ready..."

Why, you dirty...

What do you say we go

and put a good word in for old Larry?

Yeah, for old...

- Beautiful party, Miss Amelia.

- Oh, thank you.

Lovely party, Miss Amelia.

Why don't you two join in?
