Hey, buddy.

Ijust want to wish you my best.

Thanks.

I almost forget. Company property.

You sure you know
what you're doing, Prewitt?

Transferring off a good bugle job
to pull straight duty in a line company?

I might get to blow bugle in G Company.

You gonna box for G Company?

No.

Well, then you won't blow bugle.

Well, I ain't boxing no more.

Well, you know what they say, buddy.
The Army can't make you do nothing.

They can just make you wish you had.

Yeah, that's what they say.

So long.

Leva‚ you got that clothing issue
closed out yet?

Not yet. I‘m waiting for the new man.
Did he show yet? I got his papers ready.

Prewitt?

Not yet. I hope he never shows.

I heard he's a pretty damn good soldier.

He's a hardhead. Let's go.

Yeah, but I seen him fight
a couple of times. He's good.

So he can fight, so what?

The company‘s loaded
with boxers and ballplayers.

Every kind of dumb jock
he can get his hands on.

You ever see so manyjocks in one company?

That's because the moron
who commands this company figures

a few more tin trophies will
win him a promotion.

The world, Leva, has been commandeered
by mental midgets.

Anything you say, Warden.

What I say is
Iet's get going on this stuff.

We have six cases of leggings. Canvas.

Eight boxes of blankets. Wool. OD.

- What's the matter?
- Hen

What the hell is she doing here?
This ain't the Royal Hawaiian.

- Who?
- Mrs Captain Holmes.

I want to go to the motor pool.

Chip, you know you're not allowed there
during duty hours.

My pa's commanding officer.
I can do what I want.

Chip!

Chipper.

Figure she's wearing a bra?

And hide that action? No way.

Damn her. Why does she got
to dress like that for?

Don't knock it.
She's doing her good deed for the day.

The entire company
is standing at attention.

Figure she knows we're talking about her?

You bet your tools she does, pally.

I heard she came on
with half of the company at Fort Bliss.

Yeah, you heard.

But you had to be at least a non-com.

Hey, Serge. She's coming here.

The hell with her.
We got work to do. Let's go.

Yeah.

If you're looking for the captain,
ma'am, he's not here.

Well, where's the first sergeant?

I'm the top sergeant, ma'am.

Oh, yes. Of course. How are you?

What can I do for you, Mrs Holmes?

I'm looking for my husband.
Has he been in this morning?

You mean before now? Before 8:30?

Well, he said he was coming here.

Well, he does come here, sooner or later.
There is work for him to do now and then.

Well, I wonder where he could be.

Well, knowing the captain, ma'am,

he's probany with Colonel Delbart
down the officers club.

Knocking back a few snorts,
you know, discussing the servant problem.

Are you patronizing me, Sergeant?

Me, ma'am? No. Why?

Ithink you are.

And I also think you're being rude
and insolent. Don't you agree?

Me, ma'am? No, ma'am. I mean--

I hope the next time we meet, Sergeant,

there'll be some improvement
in your manners.

Believe me, ma'am,
there was no offence meant.

Good.

You figure she'll turn you in?

What's the difference?

This stage of his career,

I'm more important to the captain
than she is.

How'd you like to fall on them bones?

How'd you like to get busy
and fall on the work?

Let‘s go, Echo. Come on.

Just be careful what
you do with that butt, pal.

Just GI-ing it for you.

- You the new transfer?
- Yeah.

I'm Angelo Maggio.

And before you get too friendly,
I better warn you, I‘m a draftee.

Prewitt. I never met
one of you guys before.

Oh, yeah?

Well, don't let the clothes tool you.

I happen to be
a very important member of this unit.

You would do well to cater to me.

Okay.

So you're Prewitt,
the hot welter weight, huh?

Not me. I'm a bugler.

What, are you kidding me?

Nope.

Come on. They told me you was a punchy.

They told you wrong.

Well, let me tell you something.

If you ain't a jock around here, pal,
you got trouble.

And take it from one
who ain't a jock either.

Maggio.

Maggio, what are you supposed to be doing?

Policing the area.

- Well, then, police.
- Anything you say, Chief.

- Who are you?
- Reporting in.

Well, report.

Let‘s get that jacket on, Maggio.

Hey, Prewitt!

You're gonna love it around here!

For this, you pull my number
out of a bowl.

Prewitt.

Serge, Prewitt.

Send him over.

Prewitt. Transfer from A Company.

I know you, punchy.

Let‘s see your records.

Just what this company needs,
another jockstrap.

Why'd you transfer?

It's a personal matter.

Don't give me that.

You take a bus from PFC
to buck-A private in a rier company

because you like to soldier?

I can soldier with any man.

How about I tell you?

Chief bugler over at A Company
picked one of his fat friends

for promotion over you.

Right?
- Like I said, personal.

That's a hell of a reason to transfer.
His feelings were hurt.

So you come over here
to bust our chops, huh?

Let me tell you something, Prewitt.
There's a war coming.

And when it comes,
I want soldiers on my flank. Not punchies.

I didn't transfer over here to box,
Warden.

That'll make the company commander's day.

Warden, am I running the mess hall
or is them stupid cooks?

—That's a good question, Preem.
- I want a little more respect around here.

Respect for what?
That curdled custard you serve?

You can't talk to me like that.

You're lucky I talk to you at all.

You're lucky I don't stuff that garbage
you serve for breakfast

right down your throat.

I do the best I can
with the food they ship me.

Your best stinks.
You turn filet mignon into slop.

Captain don‘t think so.

Well, the captain don‘t eat here.

And another thing, don't ever come
into this orderly room again

without first knocking.

- Look, Warden--
- That's it. Get out.

Get out. Get outta here.

Sit down, Prewitt.

The captain'll be in any day now,

and I‘m sure
he's going to want to speak with you.

And I'd never trust a mess sergeant
that eats off the post.

Ten hut! As you were.

Good morning, sir.

Let‘s get cracking on anything urgent.
I can't stay long. Who‘s that out there?

That's Prewitt, sir.
Transfer from A Company.

The welterweight. Send him in.

Yes, sir.

Right, Prewitt, now how many years
you been in this man's army,

five, five and a half?

lsn't it about time you smartened up
and stopped acting like a punk,

and learned that good jobs
don't grow on trees?

I want you to go in there
and tell this guy what he wants to hear.

Private Prewitt reporting
to the company commander as ordered, sir.

At ease.

Saw you fighting the Bull last year,
Prewitt, and you knocked out Connors.

- Damn good show.
- Thank you, sir.

You won‘t be a private around here long.

I have my way to showing my appreciation
for good athletes.

I'm not going to fight, sir.

You're not?

No, sir.

- You sick?
- No‚ sir.

Why do you think I approved your transfer?

I heard there was an opening
for a bugler, sir.

Bugler? What the hell is he talking about?

There seems
to be some misunderstanding, sir.

You mean to tell me you refuse
to go out for the boxing squad?

- Yes‚ sir.
- Why?

It's personal, sir.

Well, is that your last word
on the subject, Prewitt?

I won't fight, sir.

Excuse me, Captain.

Colonel Delbart called
and he said he's ready to go riding.

All right.

Take care of this man.
Assign him to a squad.

Yes, sir.

Seems to me, you‘d rather pull
straight duty than hold the buglers job.

I pulled straight duty before, sir.

Well, you‘re going to get
to pull some more. Plenty of it.

I won't put any pressure on you
to make you box.

I don't believe in that.

You don't want to fight,
I don't want you on my squad.

Now listen to me, hardhead.

Holmes is the CO.

But he‘s like the rest
of the officer class.

A dumb jackass.

Signs papers, rides horses, wears spurs,

and gets stinking drunk
at the stinking officer's club.

But he‘d strangle on his own spit
if I wasn't here to swab out his throat.

I run this company.

I know about you, Warden.

You do, huh?

Well, I'm willing to give us both a break.

I‘ll tell him you got brittle hands,
that's why you can't fight,

so I sent you back to A Company.
What do you say?

Like I said, "I can soldier with any man."

Lewis, he says he can soldier
With any man.

Mm-hmm. So?

So put him in Corporal Cheney's squad.

Right.

Let's go, soldier.

Prewitt.

Do us both a favour.
First chance you get, go over the hill.

- Welcome!
- Thank you! Thank you very much.

- Are you free?
- Sure am, young lady.

If you're looking for a place to go,
the YWCA is very safe.

This is where you want to go?

Yes. Do you know where it is?

- Hi.
- How are you?

Six bite.

Yes, thank you very much. Keep the change.

You sure this is where you want to go?

Yes.

Who knows?

I'm Lorene.

Oh, yeah. You're expected.

Just drop your bags and follow me.

Come in.

This here's Lorene.

Yes.

My dear, you are indeed a warm sight
for these tired old eyes.

That will be all.

Aren‘t you lovely?
Just like a little princess.

Here, sit.

I'm so pleased that you‘re joining us.

It's nice to be here, Mrs Kipfer.

Good.

Now, you understand the house gets 70%?

Fifty-five.

Sixty.

Deal.

- What a lovely day for a ride, huh?
- Yes, sir.

- You see the game last night, Captain?
- Afraid 30. It was terrible.

Eleven runs in the last inning.
The 24th killed us.

I hate to lose, Captain.

As do I, sir.

Your boxing squad was
the regiment's only winner last year.

I took a hell of a lot of ribbing
about our other teams.

General Slater himself was just wondering
the other night if we hadn‘t gone soft.

Will your men win the boxing crown
for me this year, Holmes?

Yes, sir, they will.

As a matter of fact, Ijust got in a--

Well, I shouldn't talk about him yet,
until I see the man perform.

Dynamite.

You and I may have promotions
riding on that championship,

so don't be coy with me.

You just got in a new what?

Welter weight, sir. Best in the division.

Welter weight? That's good news.

And that should clinch
the divisional title for us.

We'd represent the Army
in the Interservice Championships,

and then if we could whip Navy's teil...

Holmes, I want that boxing championship.

You'll have it, sir.

Good.

How's your lovely wife?

Just fine, sir.

Lovely lady.
The general always asks for her.

I didn't know you were home.

I have to play in 3 golf tournament
with the colonel this afternoon.

Golf is always a good way to relax
after horseback riding.

I stopped by
the company area this morning.

For what? You know I don't like you
over there around the men.

I asked you to pick up some things for me.
Where were you?

I had some matters to attend to.

It was all right, wasn't it?

Of course.

I have no right to inquire
into your actions anymore.

That was the agreement.

Sweetheart, anything you want
to inquire into is just fine by me.

What do you want to know?

Nothing. It's no longer any of my business
how many women you see.

Ijust wish you could be honest
about it once.

What do I have to do to make you believe
there are no other women?

If there were other women, I'd admit it.

There's no reason for me to hide it.
Not now. Is there?

Eight years we‘ve been living with this.

It hasn't been easy.

I don't want to talk about it anymore,
Dana. I'm sorry I brought it up.

Karen.

There's a majority open.
I want it, and I want it badly.

So?

So, you could make it easy for me.

How?

As if I didn’t know.

- General Slater‘s having a big party.
- No.

Please. It's important you go with me.

Dana, I‘ve helped you with your work
all I can.

I've gone to parties I’ve hated,

because my part of the bargain
was to play the Ioving wife.

But the one thing lwon‘t do for you
is sleep with the general.

Would I ask a thing like that?

All I‘m asking is
that you be decent to him.

Why should I?

Because there's a war, yards away.

A West Point graduate is a cinch

to become a general officer
by the time it's over.

All we have to do is smile
and play the game.

We?

Well, who do you think I want it for,
if not for you?

And Chip.

If you're not interested for yourself,

just stop and think
about what it would mean to your son.

Do you really want it that much?

Yes, I want it that much.

All right, Dana. I‘ll go.

Thank you. You won't regret it.

I know. I always look forward
to being goosed by Colonel Delbart.

Oh, geez. I‘m late.

Hello?

Yes, Colonel Delbart.
We were just talking about you.

Captain Holmes here.

I'm on my way, sir.

I‘m sorry, sir,
I didn‘t know I kept you waiting.

No, sir.

Yes, sir.

Right, sir.

I might be a little late for dinner.

See you later.

Beautiful. You really got the hang of it.

You know, it ain't easy
cleaning a proper toilet bowl.

Got to have attitude.

That's what I like about you, Prewitt.
You got attitude.

Ain’t you supposed
to be working on this detail with me?

Wrong. I‘m in charge.

Let me tell you something, Prewitt.

There are doers, and there are leaders.

Maggio is a leader.

Hey, come on, you guys.

Nobody's supposed to use the Iatrine
till we‘re through.

Hey, Prewitt.

Hey, I'm Sergeant Doehm.
We boxed once. Remember?

- Hey, Prewitt.
- Yeah?

Did you knock him out?

It was a split decision.

Yeah, right, right.
But you whupped him. Right, Prew?

Hey, Maggio. Butt out, will you?

It‘s hard to believe
that a guy who could box like you

would rather clean a toilet bowl.

Well, you know, some guys,
they get drunk to relax.

He cleans toilet bowls.

No more extra duty, Prewitt, ever.
If you box.

Might even get 3 rating
in a couple of weeks.

Captain's grateful to guys
with company loyalty.

He also don't forget guys who ain't onal.

Sergeant, I told the captain
and I‘m telling you,

I ain't fighting no more.

You don't mind
if we try and change your mind, do you?

Looks like it needs little work, dago.

One thing I hate is idle hands.

We was just having a little chat, Top.

You want to talk, Doehm,
go see the chaplain.

Sure, Serge.

Do you know what those creeps tried to do?

Maggio, I've been led to believe
you missed bed check last night.

Untrue.

Well, you know,
maybe by three of four Iousy minutes.

In that case, when you get through here,

head over there and do the pots and pans.

How do you like that Doehm,
that spittoon?

It's finished. I got plans for tonight.

Yeah. That's right.
You're going to see your shack job, huh?

Yeah.

It's been a long time
and I got a lot to tell her.

What? You're going
to waste your time talking?

Hi, Bobby.

How you doing, Vi?

Fine.

Come in.

You always stand and look.
At what? It's so ugly here.

I used to live in a place like this,
as a kid back in Kentucky.

And you liked it?

Not really.

But I’ve lived
in a lot worse places since.

Hello.

Not now, Bobby.
I want to talk about the transfer first.

The hell you want to talk about that for?

Couldn't you have asked
the officer to stay?

I could've, yeah, but I didn't.

But it was a good job, and you liked it.

I don't like nothing that much.

Did you lose your rating?

Yeah.

Listen, I'll only be making
30 a month now,

so I won’t be able to help your folks out
like I’ve been doing.

No, I guess you won’t.

Come here.

No, it's too light. It's not nice.
Love is for night.

The hell made up that rule?

Don't get mad, Bobby.

It's just that, well,
a respectable island girl,

she won't go out with soldiers.

Neither will 3 respectable white girl.

Vi...

how'd you like to get out of here?

I want you to move to Wahiawa,
and shack up with me.

You do?

Why? Why now?

Because now I‘m pulling straight duty
and I won't have as much time

to come all the way out here and see you.

Hell, it's worse than that.

They're piling a lot of extra duty on me.

And if you don't move closer to the post,
I'm never going to get to get to see you.

Bobby, you won‘t be making enough money
for us to shack up.

I still got one more big cheque coming.

- And with yourjob and my 30--
- I can't do it.

Why?

Mama and Papa would be disgraced.
I can't do that to them.

What's the difference between that
and what we're doing now?

Now I'm still living with them,
so it doesn't look so bad.

And then you were helping them with money,
so I didn‘t feel so bad.

But you can't help anymore.

Bobby.

It would be different if we were married.

Married?

That way I know when the day came
for you to return to the mainland, maybe--

Vi! Get it through your head.

Even if we got married,
people stateside, they would spit on us.

Besides, a 30-year man ain't got
no business getting married.

There's a war coming on.
I want to be a part of it. All of it.

Well, suppose you got me pregnant?

- What?
- It could happen, you know.

- But it's not gonna happen.
- Well, would you marry me then?

No!

Why the hell would I marry you?

So I can have a raft of snot-nosed brats?

And end up working
in some pineapple field?

Why the hell do you think
I got in the army?

Because I didn‘t want to sweet my tail off
in some crummy coal mine

like my old man and his old man.

And reise a bunch of stupid kids like me.
What do you broads want?

Vi.

- Vi, I‘m sorry.
- I understand, Bobby.

Vi.

Look, I know lots of guys
shacks up in town.

And they have a lot of good times. ..

and their Iadies aren't Ionely.

Ain‘t no more Ioner than most humans.

And what happens to the girls
when the soldiers leave?

What?

I said, "What happens to the girls
when the soldiers leave?"

I heard you. And I don't know.

I guess they get other soldiers.

So long, Vi.

Bye, Bobby.

Aloha nui oe.

When's Prewitt through with KP?

Tonight. Goes on the furnaces tomorrow.

Damn rain's bad for morale.

Troops are just sitting around.

Colonel Delbart wants them busy.

Incidentally,
what about that welter weight?

- Prewitt.
- Has he changed his mind?

- Not that I know of, sir.
- Well, damn it, Sergeant--

Listen, Captain. Why let a hardhead
and a little rain spoil your evening?

Yeah.

You think you'll be back in time
to sign the morning report?

I don't know.
Let Lieutenant Culpepper sign it.

If he doesn't show, you take care of it.

Yes, sir.

You ever think
about taking a day off yourself?

Stop worrying about that stupid paperwork.

I've been thinking about that, sir.

Leaving it in your hands.

Be there when you get back.

You know, Warden,
the old man's right about one thing.

What's that?

You got to find something to help
take your mind off your work.

Yeah.

I didn't think you heard the be".

Well, the door was unlocked,
so Ijust walked in.

You would've been taking a big chance.

I once shot an intruder,
right where it stings.

Well, forewarned is forearmed.

You gonna let me in?

Ihave„.

I have these very important papers
for the captain to sign.

He's not here.

He isn't?

Why do I get the feeling
that you already knew that?

Knew what, ma'am?

I think we're too old to play games,
don't you, Sergeant?

Yeah, I think you may have a point there.

Why did you come here, Sergeant?

I want to go to bed with you.

All right.

Let me see them. Maybe I can help you.

See what?

The very important papers, Sergeant.

Oh, yeah.

I don't think you‘d understand them.
Army business.

I always take an interest
in my husband's business.

I’ll bet you do.

The question is,
does he take an interest in yours?

Do you want me to help you?

Well, can you sign his name?

I don‘t know. I've never tried.

Well, I can. I can do
just about everything for him.

These are very important papers.

He's gotta sign them.

Well, then I better call the club,
hadn't l?

He's probably there having a drink or two.

Or was it a snort, you said?

You don't want to do that.

I hate to disturb a man
while he's drinking.

You know, I could use a drink myself
right about now, ma'am.

What kind of a drink do you want,
Sergeant?

Anything.

You don't want a drink. Not really.

What you want is this.

That's what you all want, isn't it?

All you brave boys.

Yeah, that's what I want,
but I also want a drink.

All right, Sergeant.

But I won't mix it for you.
The bottle is there.

You can have it...

but you'll have to do the work yourself.

- You want one?
- No.

Yes, maybe I'd better.

I‘ll probably need it, don't you think?

Yeah. You probably will.

To the end of virginity.

I’ll drink to that.

You're taking an awful chance, you know.

- Yeah, and why's that?
- What if Dana comes home?

You win some and you lose some, right?

I'm safe. My word is always better
than an enlisted man's.

If I holler "rape,"
you could go to Leavenworth for 20 years.

You think it's worth the risk?

I'll know soon enough, won't I?

My maid's due home any minute.

Come on.

It's Thursday. It‘s her day off.

You think of everything,
don't you, Sergeant?

I try, ma'am.

I think we can dispense
with these now, don‘t you?

They are worthless, aren't they?

Listen. ..

now that we're intimate,
you can call me Milt.

That's what I like about you, Sergeant.
You have confidence.

It's also what I dislike about you.

I got carbons back at the office.

Do you believe in sin?

The only sin is
a conscious waste of energy.

Which one of these beds is the captain's?

The other one.

Listen.

Oh, my God!

Get out.

- How am I going to get out of here?
- No, go in the closet. Quick.

- I'm not going in the closet.
- No. Please, you've got to. Come on.

Who is it?

It's me! Let me in, Mom.

Can I stay at Mickey Cooper's tonight?

I don't know.
Can't you at least say hello first?

Mom, please.
Mickey and his dad are waiting for me.

What do you say?
If Dad was here, he'd let me.

I don't care what your dad would say.

Okay. Pop said you wouldn’t let me.

Chipper.

But he told me not to pay any attention.

Chipper!

All right, he's gone. You can come out.

You know, I used to be
a travelling salesman.

This is the first time
I ever had to hide in anybody's closet.

Come on. Stop crying. Stop crying.

You don't know. You don‘t even care.

All of this means nothing to you.

It's just a piece, isn't it?

Go away.

Tell me you need me. Just a little.

Even if it's a lie.

Tell me.

I need you, baby.

- One, two, three, four.
- Ready. Hut! Right face.

- One. Right shoulder.
- Okay, Iet's go!

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

Go! Get it! Go!

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

You know how many dishes
were in that stack, Prewitt?

- No, I don't, Sergeant.
- Well, you better figure it out,

'cause you're going to pay
for every stinking one of them.

Now, clean them up.

That's enough.

Bury it.

- What is it? Who-- What is it?
- One of my guards got sick. I need a man.

Serge. Man, oh, man.
It's three o'clock in the morning.

Which barracks is Prewitt's?

- Prewitt?
- Yeah.

Come on, Serge. He just got off 24 hours
working straight for--

Where is he?

All right.

No.

No.

No.

No. No.

He's blind.

Blind.

No.

- Blind.
- Wake up.

Get up. You're gonna pull guard.

- I just got off.
- I know.

And like we told you, if you was a boxer,
you could avoid all this crud.

But you ain't.

So get up.

Look at that clown Doehm.
He moves like Kate Smith.

Yeah, he does look a little heavy.

A little? The guy ought to be milked.

Prewitt.

At ease.

You don't know how this goes
against my grain

seeing a man with your abilities
sweeping floors.

- Doesn't do much for me, neither--
- Shut your mouth

and listen to me, will you?

Yes, sir.

I found out why
you're deliberately hurting yourself

and the whole regiment by not boxing.

- Dixie Wells, right?
- Yes, sir.

You fought that man fair and square.

By pure accident,
the man went blind. Correct?

- Yes, sir.
- All right.

It was a terrible accident.
Things like that happen in this game.

That's why I quit fighting, sir.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Supposing every boxer
took up that attitude.

They don't, sir.

Would you have us outlaw boxing
because a man got hurt?

- No, sir.
- It's like saying stop war

because a man got killed.

I‘m not saying
that you should outlaw boxing, sir.

Then why the hell won't you help us?

Because I can't understand
why a man has to fight

if he doesn't want to, sir.

You think of anything
that would change your attitude?

Make you box?

No, sir.

Can't think of anything?

Maybe I can suggest something.

Sir.

You get in that ring with Sergeant Doehm.
Go one round, I give you the pass.

Wait. Wait!

Sergeant Doehm.

Yes, sir.

Private Prewitt wants to see
if he can go a round with you.

Yes, sir.

They're going to fight.
Let's see what happens here.

Now listen to me.

Hit that bum right in the gute.

You got that? Right in the labonza.

- Sarge McKay, you keep time.
- Yes, sir.

All right, men.

Time!

- All right, mix it up. Mix it up.
- Kill him for me, baby. Come on.

That's it. Left, right.

- Hey!
- Use the right!

- Do it now!
- Use the right.

- Keep that down. Hit him. Yeah, that's it.
- Kill him!

Get him! Hit him!

Get out of the rope!

Left, right. Left, right.

- Brave approach!
- What the hell's he doing?

Keep your arms up. Keep your arms up.

Now!

Come on! Smash him!

- Watch him. Watch him.
- Lefi‚flght

What's this guy doing?

Looking good, Prew. Come on!

We got him.

Yeah! That's better.

- In the head. In the head!
- Left‚ left, right.

- That's it. Now!
- What's he even doing?

Kill him, now. Come on.

- That's it, that's it.
- Come on!

Step back. Stay outta the corner!

Now, take him down!

Keep blocking him. That's it.

Come on.

- You got this.
- Come on.

Jab! Jab!

Come on!

- What the hell's he doing?
- All right, bro. That's it! Kill him!

- That's it.
- Go for it.

Now!

You ain't got much more time, Moby Dick!

- Come on, Doehm.
- Come on. You got him now.

You got him now!

Ithink it's time, sir.

- Use your right, use your right.
- Better.

That's more like it.

Nail him. Nail him!

To your right.

All right, all right. Time, time.

- Time!
- Ten o'clock.

It's over, stupid.

You gotta break, Prewitt.

- Doehm.
- Break‚ Prewitt.

The little creep won't box.
Just let me have him--

Slow down, Sergeant. Private Prewitt.

This is the last time I'm gonna ask you.

Will you box
for the honour of this company?

No, sir. Can I have my pass, sir?

Sergeant Warden,
Will you see that he gets his pass?

Yes, sir.

- Sergeant Doehm.
- Yes, sir.

I now leave it up to you
and other members of the boxing squad

to personally convince Private Prewitt
to change his mind.

Yes, sir.

Hotel Street, here I come.

You've been there before, haven't you?

Yeah?

Hello ?

Hello ?

Hello ?

Is Violet there?

Who the hell is this?

Hello? Hello?

Come on, Prew, what do you say?

Come on, open up.

Open up!

What do you want?

What do I want?

I want a chocolate malt,
that's what I want.

You're drunk.

Drunk? Who's drunk?

You are drunk,
and this is a respectable place.

We don't want any trouble from the MPS.
So, go away.

But wait a minute, wait a minute.

Don't you get tough on me, Delle.
I’ll put a contract out on ya.

Now, you go tell Mrs Kipfer

her number one boy is here. Okay?

You wait. I'll see.

Woman thinks we‘re drunk.

Why is every time that a woman
sees a soldier, they think he's drunk?

Because he is.

You're so right.

Listen, for two cents‚
we could blow this joint.

This ain't the only place in town,
you know.

We can go down to Ritz Room
or Pacific Room.

We could even go down to the Coast Room.

They even got Japanese electric massage
down the street.

Let’s go there, huh?
I ain't never been to one of them, okay?

What? You ain't never been
to a Japanese electric massage?

I‘m a hick.

Hick? You got to be Shoeless Joe Jackson,
the original ridge runner.

Angelo.

Delle didn‘t tell me it was you.
How are you?

About to bust.

Angelo, you know
I don‘t like that kind of talk.

Now, what's the matter with you?

You scared we’re going
to wreck yourjoint?

Please, don‘t swear
in front of me, Angelo.

Mrs Kipfer. Mrs Kipfer,
I'm surprised at you.

Mrs Kipfer, have you ever known me
to come around here drunk?

You've always behaved
like a perfect gentleman with me, Angelo.

Thank you.

Now, will you please and kindly let us in?

Heavy drinking does not mix
with respectable entertainment.

Mrs Kipfer, l swear on my mother,

your entertainment ain't got nothing
to be ashamed of from us.

Since you’ve given me your word,
I feel secure.

This is my friend, Prewitt.

Hello, Mr Prewitt. I'm happy to meet you.

- Pleased to meet you too.
- Come.

You know, personally, I‘m embarrassed.

You‘ve never pulled that door routine
on me before, Mrs Kipfer.

I mean, a person could think
this joint was illegal,

instead of being
the best whorehouse in Honolulu.

Let’s not be crude
just because of a little misunderstanding.

You know how I feel about that word.

I'd hate to ask you to leave,
but I will if you insist on being nasty.

I don‘t insist.

Why, thank you, Angelo.

This is Colleen.

Colleen, this is Mr Prewitt.
This is Mr Prewitt's first time here.

So you will introduce him around,
won't you, dear?

Oh, absolutely, dear.

Come on, baby face.

Although now you’ve met me,
so what's to look for?

Colleen's our little hustler around here.

That's how I make my living.

I hustle, but I‘m good.

Am I good, Angelo?

Oh, yeah, you're good, but mechanical.

- Anything you like yet?
- I think so.

Well, crown the princess on the couch.

The broad with her nose up in the air?

Yeah, I noticed.

She's different, isn't she?

Go get her, tiger.

Only don't forget where you're hurting.

My name's Prewitt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt.

My friends call me Prew.

Sit, Prew.

You have a very nice look.

Thank you.

I get $5 more than the other girls.

I can handle it.

How rude of me.
You didn‘t even ask me to sleep with you.

It's okay with me.

Wait!

Wait. Let's talk.

I'm from Oregon.

And you are from?

Kentucky.

- Been here two years.
- Two years?

Seems forever.

- Don't guess you like it much here?
- I don't like it.

But I don't mind it.

I don't expect to stay here that long.

Sure.

Why should you be here at all?

Well, I have a reason.
I sort of started in this business like...

I guess every prostitute tells
the same story, doesn't she?

Yeah, sort of.

That's what I thought.

But then you don't really buy it.

- Well, I have it all figured out.
- What?

How long I mean to stay here.

Angelo, he figures you
for something special.

- Angelo?
- Yeah, my buddy.

He's got good taste.

That's sweet of you.

Herbert!

- How are you?
- I'm good. Now, take a look at that.

- You made corporal!
- You bet you.

- That's wonderful!
- You look good.

You do too. It's so good to see--

Herbert, this is Prew.

How you doing?

- Prew, it's good--
- Prew.

Are you engaged?

- No, I‘m not, Prew.
- I mean for all night.

- You want to stay all night?
- That's right, yeah.

- Well, that sounds very nice, but-—
- That's good. Come on.

Wait. Wait.

I think the three of us should stay here
and talk forjust a minute.

Herbert, he's an expert at surfboarding.

- Isn't that right?
- Yes, sir.

- I remembered.
- That's right.

You know anything about surfing?

No.

We ain't got much surf at Schofield.

Oh, yeah. That's right.
That's inland‚ isn't it?

Yeah, but we got mountains.
You know anything about mountain climbing?

Well, a little bit.
Are you a mountain climber?

No, I don't know a damn thing about it.

Do you know anything
about flying an airplane?

Yeah, I had a couple of Iessons.

Yeah, I’ll bet.

- Prewitt.
- When are you gonna take her to bed?

When are you gonna do
what you came here to do?

You gonna show her
your sharpshooters medal?

I think it‘d be a good idea
if we just left.

There's other broads in town, baby.

What's the matter, baby face?
Did the princess walk out on you?

My goodness,
you must have used a naughty word.

- Why don't you kiss my big fat--
- Mr Prewitt.

- Profanity is not allowed here.
- Yeah.

Maggio, where the hell are you?

You might check behind that sofa.

Come on. Hey.

Come on. Get up.

Where are we going? Oh, man.
Where are we going?

What are you doing?

Nice place you have here.

It's all right. It's really all right.
He just had a little too much to drink.

- Let me at 'em. Let me at ‘em!
- Yeah, I might spend all my money.

- Boy, those girls must be something else.
- Yeah.

Mr Prewitt. Do you want me
to call the military police?

No, ma'am.

Please? It‘s important.

Okay.

Hey, look at this. This guy's back.

Would you like to check your friend?

Yes, ma'am.

He's gonna put him-- Look at this.

- I don't believe this.
- I don‘t think that's funny.

I think it's funny.

I'd like to apologize.

That was a terrible way to act.

I know, and I‘m sorry.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
You know that?

lem.

So why would you do that? Why?

I guess I was jealous.

Jealous? Over me?

Don't try to flatter me.
You still ought to be ashamed.

I'm still jealous.

Are you really?

Yeah. Really.

Can we go inside now?

Not yet.

Bill, I‘ll be with you in a minute.

I'll be a while, okay?

It's okay. I‘ll wait.

People are always thinking they knew
someone before, in another existence.

You know, I had a feeling
that I was in a hurry

to meet somebody I knew I--

There’s a little place around the corner.
A nice little place called Mike's.

Where I go after the fights.
You wouldn’t want to--

No, I guess you wouldn't want to tonight,

feeling the way you do about him.

I guess not, huh?

What was it he said?

If I were to meet a fighter, I was to--

I'd love to go with you, Mr Murdoch.

So long, champ.

That fight scene was so good.

Good evening, ma'am.

Captain was just getting ready
to pick you up

when he got an urgent call to regiment.

- Oh, did he?
- Yeah, so he asked me to see you home.

Because it was getting a little late.

- Well, that's very kind of you, Sergeant.
- Well, I'm glad to do it.

How did you know where I was?

You mean, you don't believe it
that your husband sent me?

- Am I supposed to?
- Well, he did in a way.

In what way?

He Ieaves you alone so much,
you got nothing better to do

than to take yourself
to the movies all the time.

This was a very good picture.
I really enjoyed it.

I hope so. You’ve seen it twice.

How do you know so much
about my comings and goings, Sergeant?

Same way I knew it was your maid's day off
that time at your house.

Of course,
the very capable Sergeant Warden.

But why do you want to know
so much about me?

I hate to see a good woman go to waste.

Oh, yes. Waste is the only sin.

I can just see Sergeant Warden setting out
to clean up all the sin in the world.

Listen, can the hot air.

Stop it. What are you doing?

I'm trying to tell you something. Shut up.

- All right, tell me.
- I want you.

That's it. That’s the whole thing.

I want you like crazy.

Poor Milt. You sound so surprised.

I am surprised.

We got together once and it was great,
but now I want you all the time.

You know what I’ve been wanting
ever since that time?

What's that?

To come out of that
godforsaken movie theatre

and find you waiting there for me.

You knew I'd be there?
How come you’re so smart?

I don't know if it's so smart
to see each other anymore.

I don‘t either.

But I don't give a damn. Do you?

I didn't hear any sounds of combat.

Bungalow booze.

Is it all right to come in?

Sure.

You want a belt?

No. No, thank you.

You know something, Prew?

You look happy.

Most of the time since I know you,
you look sad.

But now you don't.

- Well, I feel good.
- Yeah.

You know, we got to get back
to post pretty soon, pal.

You go ahead.

You know you got to get back
in some kind of shape tomorrow,

'cause treatment starts all over again.

I know.

I‘ll be okay, buddy. You go on.

You two are looking good.

We Italiens, we know
when people are looking good.

Yes, sir.

You like him, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

He makes me laugh.

Sometimes when I'm laughing,
I feel like crying.

You ever feel like that way
about somebody?

Am I making any sense?

Yes.

Don’t.

Why not?

You have to remember what I am.

I don't care what you are.

l care.

All the drunks.

The cruel ones. They want to kiss you too.

Because it makes them feel
like they're something special.

I'm sorry.

Ijust didn’t want to spoil this. Not now.

I know. I know.

I'm tired.

I'm real tired.

Why'd you kiss me?

You think I‘m too tired to remember?

I'm gonna remember.

I'm gonna remember everything.

And I'm gonna be back too.

You watch.

First platoon, G Company!

Forward, on the double!

You're gonna be late
for formation, soldier.

- Hey‚ hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Come on, Prewitt.

Attention, yes!

Present right.

Suck in that gut, Prewitt!

Ready.

Fourth man, back. Back, back, back.

Right shoulder.

Ready, hut!

Prewitt, you moron! Suck in that gut!

I don't want to see an ounce quiver,
Prewitt.

Stift, you knothead.

Private Prewitt.

One pace forward, hut!

- Is that a full field pack, soldier?
- Yes, Sergeant.

- Can you tell me what it consists of?
- Yes, Sergeant.

It consists of a bag,
canvas field, with carrying strap,

shelter, halftip, pole, and pins.

- All that in there?
- Yes‚ Sergeant.

In addition to a mess kit, field rations,
extra socks and underwear, and toiletries.

I don't believe you, Private Prewitt.

Who taught you
how to make up a field pack?

Don't stand there like an idiot!

Get there and fix it up,
and do it, and do it right!

Right, hut!

Right shoulder! Forward!

Forward, hut!

I think in a few days, we‘re going
to have ourselves a welter weight.

Begging your pardon, sir.
I don't think you'll ever win this one.

Don't bet on it, Warden.

Don‘t bet on it.

Captain Holmes.

- You can have the car.
- That's fine, honey.

Can someone drive me home?

Sure.

- Sergeant!
- Sir.

Someone to drive Mrs Holmes.

- Lewis!
- Yup!

- Good morning, Sergeant.
- Morning‚ ma'am.

- Warden.
- I know.

Dana, don't you think it's the time
I knew your first sergeant's name?

I was just going to say
it's a lovely morning.

- Isn't it, Sergeant?
- Yes, it is.

Lewis, drive the captain's wife
to her quarters.

I don't think you want me
to do that, Serge.

Why don't I want you to do that?

I told you. They suspended my Iicence.

Get my hat.

I'll take her, sir.

Thank you, Sergeant.

I'd take you myself, honey,
but I have a mountain of paperwork.

That's all right. I don't mind.

- If Sergeant Warden doesn't mind?
- Be my pleasure, ma'am.

Captain, Colonel Delbart's on the phone.

Break down that piece, soldier.

Tuck in your elbow.

Don't you want to know
why he needs the car?

Nope. I already know.

Golf this afternoon with Colonel Delbart.

And the officer's stag tonight.

It‘s always a mystery to me
how you always know so much about him.

There's no mystery. He's an officer.

He'd strangle on his own spit
if I wasn't there to swab out his throat.

You make it sound as though
he's even going to need you at the stag.

No, he can do that himself.

He won't be home till tomorrow morning.
I’ll meet you at three o'clock.

Same place?

It's such a beautiful day.
Ithink we ought to go lie on a beach.

- I don't know.
- Come on.

I’ve been trying for over a month
to get you to meet me

and take you to the beach.

You know I don't like Kaneohe.

It's almost as crowded
as that damn Waikiki.

Well, who said anything about Kaneohe?

Well, where then?

What if I was to tell you I'd take you
to a beach that nobody else knows about?

A narrow inlet, smooth sand.
High rock walls on three sides.

When the cars go by overhead,
they don‘t even know you're down there.

It's kind of like when you were a kid
hiding in the bushes,

watching your friends look for you.

Do you really know a place like that?

Absolutely.

You can get suntanned all over.

And at night...

What happens?

You can swim in the moonlight.

Get those rifles up!

Come on, come on, boys.
Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Move it! Move it!

Over here! Climb on me!

Keep it going. Don't stop back there.

Prewitt, you're like an old lady.
Move that butt, move, move, move!

Get those knees up! Get those knees up!

On your belly, Prewitt! On your belly!

Come on, come on!
Prewitt, you move like an old lady!

Come on, come on!

Hold it, Prewitt. You know what is this?

This is an obstacle course,
not a dance floor.

Get your rear end over the board
and do it again!

Are you blind? He did do it right, okay?

I could've done it better!

Keep that file spread out.

This isn't a dress parade.

- Keep your distance.
- Pick it up.

That better, Corporal?

All right, you men,
we're gonna talk about close combat.

Now here's where we separate
the men from the boys.

Now, what is close combat?

Locate at close range, and kill the enemy.

Stick your bayonets in, you twist it,
and watch him die slowly.

Eye to eye.

Notice the move.

Got the gute?

The first principle, element of surprise.

And don't be stupid
like the Bolshevik over here.

Got to be ready. Right, Bolshevik?

Right.

Right.

There'll be five of us.
And I‘ve got six girls coming.

One ready reserve.
How about that, General?

All dark girls, two Japanese, one Chinese,

two Chinese-Hawaiian,
and one pure Hawaiian.

Although, they say
there are no pure Hawaiians anymore.

Colonel Delbart believes in making
full strategic use of the terrain

in which his regiment is operating.

Very good.

Now, Jay, did you read that staff paper
I wrote last week?

Yes, sir. I did. And it was excellent.

Why don't you tell the boys
what it was about?

Well, I have a theory, gentlemen,

that in the past, fear of authority
was merer the negative side

of a positive moral code.

Of honour, patriotism and service.

But times have changed.

Now we have a draft, peacetime draft,
the first in our history.

How do we control these men?

Through the old values
of honour and patriotism?

Obviously not, sir.

Why obviously?

Well, if we could depend on those values,
we could reise a volunteer army.

Wouldn't need the draft.

Very astute.

So how do we control these men?

Through fear.

Fear of everything,

from social disapproval
to death by execution,

which requires absolute power,

consolidated in the hands
of unquestioned authority.

Excuse me, General. Here they come.

- Hello, girls! Come on in here.
- Hi‚ how are you?

- Come on, this way.
- Good to see you.

- Good to see you too.
- Aloha.

- How are you?
- Aloha! Aloha to you. Come in.

How are you doing, honey? This way.

- This is nice.
- Yeah.

Come on, in here.

All right, girls.
Introduce yourselves to the gentlemen.

Leilani.

Suzie.

I can see the need to consolidate power.
I’ve seen it for a long time, General.

Tawny.

Call me Barney for tonight.

Okay. Barney.

Raven.

Then you‘re one of the few people
in this country to see it.

The Russians have known it for years.
The Germans know it by now.

The Japanese have always known it.

China.

Now we either learn it
or we‘re decadent and finished

along with England and France.

Then we will damn well learn it.

Zola.

Okay, girls. Belly up to the bar. Come on.

You're pretty old for a captain.

On the other hand,
you‘d still be young for a major.

I've had my eye on you.

General.

This is Zola.

Zola.

I hope the general will agree
that Zola is just about what he ordered.

Jake, how would you feel
if one of these days I had Dynamite here

transferred to my staff over at division?

Dynamite‘s a fine officer, sir.
Certainly is.

Not his fault he hasn't been able to
handle that damn Bolshevik in his company.

What Bolshevik?

Felle named Prewitt.

Refuses to go out for boxing.

Well, Colonel, that man will box for us
if there's any possible way to make--

I don't like the sound of that “if."
There's got to be a way--

Excuse me, gentlemen.

What matters is that you as an officer
may not allow even a suspicion

that an enlisted man made you back down.

Hi there, honey.

How you feeling?

- Nice, huh? How about right here?
- Oh‚ yeah.

Perfect.

It's beautiful.
It's just the way you said it would be.

- You like it?
- I love it.

You glad I brought you here?

I'm glad you brought me.

So when are you going
to start showing your appreciation?

You said we could swim first.

We can swim second.

No, come on. Let's swim first.

I love you, Milt.

I need you, baby.
