Sarge, did you see this notice
in tomorrow's Plan for the Day?

00:00:35,494 --> 00:00:37,871
- No, I haven't read it yet.
- Wait till you hear this.

Hollywood film Leathernecks of the Air

will be on the base next Saturday
10
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:46,338
to select a Marine chorus
that will appear in his picture."
11
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:49,049

in a picture?
12
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:50,217
That's what it says.

that the use of real Marines

will lend authenticity to his film."

"The group will be selected
on the basis of a competition

00:00:59,226 --> 00:01:01,645

next Saturday night,

00:01:01,645 --> 00:01:05,816
and the winners will then spend the
following three weeks in Hollywood.
19
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:08,902
Any platoon on the base is eligible
and may enter."
20
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,862
Slater, do you realize what this means?
21
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:12,906
The chorus that wins this competition
22
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:15,617
is going to represent the whole
Marine Corps. Think about that.
23
00:01:15,617 --> 00:01:17,744
Yeah, too bad
we don't have a platoon chorus.
24
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:19,663
Well, what's to stop us from getting one?
25
00:01:19,663 --> 00:01:22,165
Singers, Sergeant. You need singers
for a chorus. Who we got?
26
00:01:22,165 --> 00:01:24,668
We got Pyle, ain't we? He sings good.
27
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:26,253
That's about the only thing he can do.
28
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:28,880
All we got to do
is round up some more guys.
29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,218
Sarge, how can we put a chorus together?
We don't know anything about music.
30
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:37,222
What are you talking about?
I know about music.
31
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:39,683
- I used to play the bugle.
- Oh, yeah?
32
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:43,103
Sure. And what about Pyle singing
in Washington last year?
33
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,521
I handled that.
34
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:47,357
And maybe even you can go,
you know, to handle the paperwork?
35
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:49,109
Yeah. Yeah. It's sure worth a try.
36
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:52,029
You bet it is.
First thing tomorrow morning,
37
00:01:52,029 --> 00:01:54,906
I'm getting our people together,
and we're holding auditions.
38
00:01:54,906 --> 00:01:56,658
Okay, Pyle, stay close.
39
00:01:56,658 --> 00:01:59,244
I might... I don't think
it will be necessary,
40
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:02,331
but I might want you to help me
sort some of these guys out.
41
00:02:02,331 --> 00:02:03,373
Yes, sir.
42
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:07,169
All right, you people, listen up.
Come on, gather around.
43
00:02:07,169 --> 00:02:10,088
Now, I'm organizing a platoon chorus
44
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,507

for that Hollywood movie

- [enthusiastic murmurs]
46
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:19,431
And now, anyone who can sing or been
in a glee club or choir, raise your hand.
47
00:02:19,431 --> 00:02:22,392
- [all call out]
- Okay, okay, not so fast.
48
00:02:22,392 --> 00:02:25,062
We're gonna listen to all of you.
Everyone gets a chance.
49
00:02:25,062 --> 00:02:27,105

Sergeant Carter, can I see you
outside for a minute?
59

What's the matter, Pyle?
60
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,219
What is it?
61
00:02:58,261 --> 00:03:02,015
Well, it's about Higgins.
He's a real nice feller, Sergeant,
62
00:03:02,015 --> 00:03:04,935
and his voice ain't too bad,
but it just ain't polished.
63
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:07,062
He really can't hit them high notes,
Sergeant.
64
00:03:07,062 --> 00:03:08,188
Yeah.
65
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:10,232
Well... that's what I thought.
66
00:03:10,816 --> 00:03:13,819
That's why I had him stand by the
rifle rack. That's where the rejects go.
67
00:03:13,819 --> 00:03:15,612
Oh, I thought you wanted him.
68
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,030
Of course not.
69
00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:18,865
Stick with me, you'll learn plenty.
70
00:03:19,950 --> 00:03:21,827
You want me to sing another one, Sergeant?
71
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:24,329
Higgins, who are you trying to fool?
72
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,748
Anyone can tell you have no polish.
73
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:28,792

Golly, I don't know, Sergeant.
92

If he had a voice, I guess he'd have sung,
93
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:39,154
but that's probably
the reason he talked it.

Why not?
122
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:58,567
Well, golly, I just never
have thought of you as a singer.
123
00:05:58,567 --> 00:06:02,320
Well, I don't talk about it much,
but when I was 12,
124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,656
people used to mistake me for Bobby breen.
125
00:06:04,656 --> 00:06:06,491
That was a long time ago.
126
00:06:06,491 --> 00:06:08,785
Yeah, but you never lose real talent.

- Sure.

think I put this whole thing together?

we'll invite him in.

the rest of us, he'll speak right out

"Gentlemen, I've made a terrible mistake.

00:17:14,575 --> 00:17:17,453
Okay, let's start it from Bob's solo.
344
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:22,375
♪ Here's a hope
That those bright eyes will shine
345
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,335

00:17:24,335 --> 00:17:26,170
♪ Soon into mine

00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,465

00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:33,177
♪ Tonight with joy my own lips meet
349
00:17:33,177 --> 00:17:35,054

♪ His sweetheart ♪
355
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:55,283
Well, I gotta say it, you sound great.
356
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:57,785
No clinkers at all. Best I ever heard.
357
00:17:57,785 --> 00:17:59,370
You really mean that, Sergeant?
358
00:17:59,370 --> 00:18:02,540
And listening to you guys
sing so good without me,
359
00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:04,250
I could only think one thing.
360
00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:06,127
What was that?
361
00:18:06,127 --> 00:18:09,463
If you sound that good
with only eight of you,
362
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:12,341
think how great we'll sound
with all nine of us singing?
363
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:14,635
Slater, go get me a coat and some gloves.
364
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:18,055
Okay, fellas, let's take
that same number again from the top.
365
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:21,183
Ready? And a one and a two...
366
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:23,311
Good idea, Gome,
and it probably would have worked
367
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:24,687
on anyone else but Carter.
368
00:18:24,687 --> 00:18:26,022
What do we do now?
369
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:30,526
Well, I guess the best thing to do is just
come out with it and tell him the truth,
370
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:33,404
that his voice just ain't suited
for this kind of singing.
371
00:18:33,404 --> 00:18:35,197
Gomer, you're saying you want one of us
372
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:37,033
to walk right up to Carter
and tell him he's out?
373
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:38,826
We should have done that
in the first place.
374
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,786
The sergeant's a big enough man
to understand.
375
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:42,371
Well, I'm not a big enough man
to tell him.
376
00:18:42,371 --> 00:18:44,540
Sure, I want to go to Hollywood,
but not in an ambulance.
377
00:18:45,166 --> 00:18:46,584
But you're wrong about the sergeant.
378
00:18:46,584 --> 00:18:48,044
He will understand.
379
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:50,212
Now let's all of us go over there
and explain it to him.
380
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,469
Well, ain't you all coming with me?
381
00:18:58,262 --> 00:19:01,682
All right,
I guess I'll just have to go by myself.
382
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:07,063
[humming]
383
00:19:09,565 --> 00:19:11,609
- Sergeant?
- Come in. Come in.
384
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:15,321
You know, Pyle, I think we're going to
win tonight. I don't think we can lose.
385
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:17,948
Us, the number one platoon.
Won't that be something?
386
00:19:17,948 --> 00:19:19,450
Yes, Sergeant, it sure will.
387
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:21,786
And you deserve some credit too, Pyle.
388
00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:23,746
You sing okay, under proper leadership.
389
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:28,834
You know, Sergeant,
some people are good at some things
390
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:31,337
and some people are good at other things.
391
00:19:31,337 --> 00:19:34,423
- But hardly anybody is good at everything.
- Mm-hmm.
392
00:19:34,423 --> 00:19:36,175
Take yourself, for example.
393
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,928
There are so many things
that you're good at,
394
00:19:38,928 --> 00:19:43,974
like manual arms, close order drill,
weapons, communications.
395
00:19:43,974 --> 00:19:46,435
Anything and everything
about being a Marine,
396
00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:47,937
you do better than anybody.
397
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,230
Oh, I don't know.
398
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:51,524
And since you do so many things so well,
399
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:54,068
it don't mean anything
if there's one or two things
400
00:19:54,068 --> 00:19:55,945
that just don't happen
to be your long suit.
401
00:19:55,945 --> 00:19:57,405
I suppose not.
402
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:01,867
What are you trying to say?
403
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:05,913
Well, only that it's possible that maybe
404
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:09,625
there are few things
that just ain't exactly your specialty.
405
00:20:09,625 --> 00:20:10,876
Like what?
406
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:12,211
Well, uh...
407
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:15,047
like... maybe singing.
408
00:20:15,923 --> 00:20:17,258
Wait a minute.
409
00:20:17,258 --> 00:20:20,261
Are you trying to tell me
that I can't sing?
410
00:20:20,261 --> 00:20:24,557
That maybe I don't qualify to be in
the group representing my own platoon?
411
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:28,060
Now that you mention it, Sergeant,
it might be for the best.
412
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:30,688
I told the other fellers you was
big enough a man to understand,
413
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:31,856
and bow out gracefully,
414
00:20:31,856 --> 00:20:34,150
knowing that a chain is only as strong
as its weakest link.
415
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:35,401
Weakest link?
416
00:20:35,401 --> 00:20:37,194
I'm the weakest link?
417
00:20:37,194 --> 00:20:39,655
- Sergeant...
- Boy, I've heard of ingratitude in my day,
418
00:20:39,655 --> 00:20:41,073
but this takes the cake!
419
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:43,993
I go to all the trouble
of organizing a singing group,
420
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:45,661
picking and choosing them carefully,
421
00:20:45,661 --> 00:20:48,164
rehearsing them day and night
to make sure they're the best...
422
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:50,166
- Sergeant.
- Wait a minute! And what happens?
423
00:20:50,166 --> 00:20:52,710
Now they're telling me
that I ain't good enough for them!
424
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:56,005
Pyle, you got a lot of nerve
coming in here insulting me like this!
425
00:20:56,005 --> 00:20:57,923
Now, get out of here
before I throw you out!
426
00:20:57,923 --> 00:20:59,967
[hoarsely] Get out of here,
you miserable, ungrat...
427
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,723
[he mouths]
428
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,018
One minute, he was standing there
yelling like he always does,
429
00:21:09,018 --> 00:21:12,229
and the next minute, he was clutching
his throat with his eyes popping out.
430
00:21:12,229 --> 00:21:14,398
Problem solved. Now he can't sing.
431
00:21:15,065 --> 00:21:17,026
I didn't mean for it to be like that.
432
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:19,028
It hardly seems fair.
433
00:21:19,028 --> 00:21:20,988
[men singing quietly]
434
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:25,743
Sullivan's group is just finishing.
You guys are next.
435
00:21:25,743 --> 00:21:27,328
- How'd they sound?
- Pretty good,
436
00:21:27,328 --> 00:21:28,746
but I think you've got a good chance.
437
00:21:28,746 --> 00:21:31,749
- [Gomer] Hey!
- [all] Hey, Sergeant.
438
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:35,753
- Are you feeling all right?
- [whispering] I just stopped by to say...
439
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:38,297
...to say...
440
00:21:47,473 --> 00:21:49,308
[men murmuring appreciatively]
441
00:21:51,018 --> 00:21:52,102
You guys are next.
442
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:55,022
Wait a minute.
443
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:59,652
I just don't feel right about this.
The sergeant should be out there with us.
444
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:01,028
He started this whole thing.
445
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:04,114
It was all his idea,
and he should have a part of it.
446
00:22:04,114 --> 00:22:06,158
You're right, Gome, but what can we do?
447
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,994
Sergeant, if we win, you're gonna win too,
448
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:10,871
'cause you're going to go out there
with us.
449
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,958
You don't have to sing,
just move your lips, Sergeant.
450
00:22:13,958 --> 00:22:16,085
That's all you have to do.
Just move your lips.
451
00:22:16,085 --> 00:22:18,420
We'll do the singing for you.
You just wait and see if we don't.
452
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:20,422
- Come on, fellas.
- Yeah. Let's go!
453

We'll be there, sir.

You did a fine job, Sergeant,

and I'm proud to have your platoon
