No sense in being a slave driver.

No, sir.

I mean, there's no point

in working them into the ground.

- No, sir.

- Is there?

No. No, no, sir.

They look like a pretty good bunch

to me. Huh?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

And this is a rest area.

I think you can afford to take it easy

with them now and then.

- Yes, sir.

- They'll be going back into action...

- pretty soon.

- Yes, sir.

- And...well, that's all, Sergeant.

- Yes, sir.

Thanks.

but you're getting busted,

just the same.

- You're not safe.

- I know.

I guess I'm just not the type.

Why did you let 'em all get drunk?

I don't know.

I ought to wake 'em up

and get 'em dug in.

Oh, plenty of time, Sarge.

Let 'em sleep. They deserve it. Here.

Here's your share.

You deserve it, too.

No, I'm fine.

I filled up with a nice dry white wine.

That's all yours.

I can't make you out, fella.

I could've sworn

you had leadership qualities.

You'd have made Sergeant

in another six months.

but you got no sense

of responsibility.

You just don't give a damn.

Why? Why?

I don't know.

but don't let it worry you, Joe.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Do I know you?

No, I guess you don't know me.

I'm just a clean-cut

American corporal away from home.

Well, I'm an American, too.

You are? What in the world

are you doing here?

Wait a minute, sonny.

What part of Texas you from?

- brooklyn.

- Now, you must be kidding me, son.

- brooklyn ain't in Texas.

- Why, sure it is. brooklyn, Texas.

Are you sure

you ain't a German spy?

You're too little to be from Texas.

Speak to me, spy.

Hamburger,

tuna fish salad, malted milk,

apple pie la mode,

with ice cream, sir.

And don't you ever forget

Southern Fried Chicken.

Ain't it wonderful?

I'd like to buy you a drink.

- What would you like?

- bier, bitte.

Two beers, please,

Miss Waitress, ma'am.

Them ltalians is wonderful, ain't they?

Coon hunting tonight.

Any n*ggers in here?
