Wee Willie Winkie Page #5

Synopsis: Priscilla Williams is a young girl traveling with her mother, Joyce, to join her paternal grandfather, a British army colonel, at the post he commands in northern India. Upon arrival, they witness the capture of Khoda Khan, leader of the rebel Indian faction. Priscilla plays at being a soldier and is even given a uniform and allowed to drill by the genial Sergeant MacDuff, but her gruff grandfather disapproves and insists she remain apart from the troops. She eventually charms him, along with everyone else on the post, including Khoda Khan, whom she wins over by returning a talisman he's dropped. When the attractive Lieutenant Brandes deserts his post to take Joyce to a dance, Khan escapes, and Brandes is arrested. As hostilities with the rebels mount, Priscilla and servant Mohammet Dihn --actually an Indian spy--take off for Khoda Khan's stronghold.

- Did you hear what he accused me of?
- Aye, I did that.
- Of deliberately doing it.
- Tsk, tsk, tsk.
He's a bad lad.
Aye. He's a bad lad.
Of deliberately doing it.
How does it look to you, Sergeant?
Very satisfactory.
Stand at attention,
and I'll inspect you.
Keep your eyes to the front.
Take the smile off your face.
Aye. That's good.
I thought maybe I'd boiled it
a little bit too much.
- Boiled it?
- Aye. Just a military requirement.
Take this. It'll give you
a little bit more importance.
Oh, it's just elegant.
Hmm. I carved it meself.
- Thanks.
- Welcome.
Let's let the men take a squint at you.
Slope... arms!
Right, left. Turn!
Quick turn!
Military escort, halt!
Khoda Khan, sir.
Very good, Corporal.
Escort, about! Turn!
Quick! March!
This way, if you please.
Take this for me, will you, please?
- Mr. Khan!
- Hmm.
Mr. Khan. You dropped this.
Mr. Khan, here's your necklace.
May Allah bless and protect thee...
for the rest of thy days.
- Thank you very much.
- Private Winkie!
Come here!
Get under there. There.
Aw, look what you've done now!
You got your kilt all dirty.
Come here. I've a good mind to-
But he was so glad to get back
his necklace, Sergeant.
Well, it'll take more than a necklace
to get him out of that jail.
But why are they gonna
put him in jail?
Aw, because he's a black-hearted,
thieving Pathan, that's why.
But he was such a nice gentleman.
Gentleman? Pooh!
Gentleman!
Why, he'd cut your head off
as soon as look at you.
Ah-
Stay over here. Wait there, lassie.
Outside, you lazy scrubs!
Outside for a special drill!
What? Special drill?
- Whose orders?
- My orders.
- Your orders!
- Yeah. My orders!
He says his orders.
Lassie, about turn.
Donald.
That's me when I was a little baby.
Oh, I think you were just beautiful.
Party, attention!
Slope... arms!
One, two, three!
Present... arms!
One, two, three!
Snap into it, will you? Snap into it!
Take that smile off your face.
Slope... arms!
One, two!
Now, on the third syllable
of the word "turn"...
you smartly turn to the right...
snapping your left heel
against the right heel...
with the toes at the angle of 45 degrees,
approximately!
Now, smartly!
Right... turn!
Quick! March!
Left. Left. Left. Left.
About turn! One, two, three!
Left. Left. Left.
Left. Left. Left. Left.
Party, halt!
Right turn!
Quick, get in the dress there. You're always
the last man to obey the word of command!
Always the last man!
Come out in dress here.
