All language subtitles for Sgt.Bilko.1996.1080p.BluRay.x264-PSYCHD

Brass!

This is WBXT,
the voice of Fort Baxter.

All personnel are invited to join
Sergeant Bilko in the motor pool...

... for a demonstration
of proper spark-plug maintenance...

... today at 0420, 0530 and 1455.

Those times again. 0420, 0530 and 1455.

- Did you win?
- Nope.

Private Wally Holbrook
reporting for duty.

- First assignment?
- Yes.

- Relax. Know where you're assigned?
- Motor pool.

- OK. Motor pool?
- Yes, I...

- You're going straight to the colonel.
- Colonel? What'd I do?

- How old are you, son?
- Nineteen, sir.

Nineteen... So young.

I'm a first-rate mechanic.
My two uncles owned a garage.

- Got any money?
- Yes, sir.

- Give it to me.
- But...

It's all right.

- My word, there must be $500 in here.
- 700. See, I worked at my uncle's...

You're going to take $700
in cash into Bilko's barracks?

- Yes, sir. Who, sir?
- Give me your hat, please.

Sergeant Bilko.
Master Sergeant Ernest G Bilko.

- Well, good luck. And Godspeed.
- Thank you, sir.

Remember, if you need anything
at all, need any help...

...the old colonel's door is always open.
- Thank you, sir.

Sir?

- I'm lookin' for Sergeant Bilko.
- You're too late, junior, no more bets.

- No, no, no. I'm reporting in.
- Come on, Duane! Pull!

Dig deep, baby!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

He's got the wrong shoes!
Doberman's wearing the wrong shoes.

He's got no traction. And this horse!

This horse was not this lively this
morning. I want it drug tested now!

Someone, quick.
Get a urine bottle and a mop.

Hey! What's goin' on?

It's Private Doberman. He's the one
who looks sort of human.

Last night in the gym, Doberman said
"I feel as strong as a horse."

Some guy from company P overheard him
and said "Yeah? For how much?"

It's the golden rule. You don't say nothing
unless you're prepared to back it up.

No, no, not across the line.
Don't go across. Back. Just, back. Back.

- Are you OK, Duane?
- Sarge, I can't do this any more!

You did your best, Duane.
What's money, anyway?

So, Bilko, I finally won one. Pay up.

- Hurry up.
- Oh, so now we're on a schedule?

- Shall we go once more?
- Sarge! Please, no more. No more, Sarge.

Don't worry. I won't put you
through that again.

- He's finished. He's a loser.
- No one calls one of Bilko's men a loser.

I oughta... Hold me back! Aah.
No, no! Let me go! I'll kill him.

- You wanna double the bet?
- Double the bet? Ha! You're serious.

- Sarge, no.
- What's the matter, Ernie? Scared?

Sarge, please. That's all
the platoon's money-every cent.

This is beyond money now. This is
a matter of honour. OK, the bet is 1,000.

Sucker.

Yeah!

Hey, you can't do that, man.

- Ready, Duane?
- Sure, Sarge.

See? He was just rollin' up the bet.

He's like a god.

Duane! Duane! Duane!

Duane! Duane! Duane!
Duane! Duane! Duane!

Yeah! Yeah!

Walk him around and wipe him down.

Not the horse! Doberman.

Listen, that M2 Bradley vehicle
is property of the US Army.

I want it back on the post by tonight.
We have rules! Rules and regulations.

I have your rental agreement right here.

And if you blow anything up,
it's coming out of your deposit.

Teenagers! So irresponsible.

- Sarge, you said I could count the take.
- She got to count it last time.

Will you stop fighting?
It's like I'm running a daycare centre.

Actually, that's not a bad idea.
We could keep 'em in the storeroom.

- Luis, how many kids on the post?
- Personal dependants under five?

- 293.
- Get me the total of their allowances.

- Hey, in the storeroom? Kids?
- Zimmy, they won't die.

In fact, that'll be our motto:
"They won't die."

I'll count the money. Rocky, make sure
the horse gets back to Knott's Berry Farm.

Private First Class Holbrook, Walter T,
reporting in for duty, Sergeant!

Sarge, Holbrook is a tech-school terror.

First in his class,
motor-vehicle maintenance.

A real live wrench-turner
in the motor pool?

It's so crazy, it just might work.
I'll introduce you to the boys and girls.

What's the matter, Sarge?

Don't you smell it? It's money.

This is Sgt Henshaw and Sgt Barbella.
You'll see them about dances, raffles.

You'll get your tickets
through them. They run the shop.

So if you need stationery, magazines...
But not magazine subscriptions.

See Morales about that. Towels...

- Towels? Doesn't the army issue towels?
- Army? Get him a set of towels.

The fluffy ones.
The introductory price. Come on.

Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.

This is Dino Paparelli.
You're gonna laugh, you're gonna cry.

You're gonna love
this scrappy little Italian.

- Hiya.
- Sam Fender. His motto in life is simple:

..."An indictment is not a conviction."
- Damn straight.

That's manly talk. Mickey Zimmerman.

Tragically, Zimmerman was born
without a personality.

- Hello.
- Luis Clemente.

This guy is smart, very smart.
He has an IQ.

- Hello.
- See what I mean?

Tony Morales. The only thing
you need to know about him...

...is he doesn't take showers
because it fogs up the mirror.

Finally, the man of the hour, the master
of disaster, the king of the universe -

...look out, girls, he hates to dine alone -
Private Duane Doberman!

Aw, Sarge.

Doberman doesn't take showers either,
but for a much more frightening reason.

My orders, Sergeant.

Everything seems to be in order.
Henshaw will take your bags.

Don't worry, he's bonded. Got a licence?

- A driver's licence?
- We can make one up.

- Henshaw, get the camera!
- No, no. I have a licence. It's right here.

My wallet.

Oh, here it is. Empty.
It's in your hat, isn't it?

Good boy. Oh. Oh, there must be six...
no, seven hundred dollars in here. Good.

Well, you can start with this.
The colonel's car.

- OK, what's wrong with it?
- It's the odometer.

It says 12,000 miles,
and it should say 11,000 miles.

Tony drove it to Lake Tahoe
to go to his grandmother's funeral.

- I'm sorry.
- When I say that...

...I mean "visit his niece". And
when I say "niece", I mean lady friend?

Look. I'm winking. Look at my eye.

- You want me to turn that back?
- Yes.

- I can't do that, Sergeant.
- "Can't"! He said "can't"!

Sarge, are you all right?

Hey, man, "can't" is a four-letter word
in this platoon.

I cannot violate regulations,
unless it's an order...

...in which case I would have to ask
Master Sergeant Bilko to sign said order.

I'm asking you to do Tony here a favour.
We're all like family here.

Any one of these men
would take a bullet for you.

- Well, not in the chest.
- No, not in the chest, but in the thigh.

- Permission to speak freely?
- What, are we in Russia? Say anything.

You're soldiers. Guardians of freedom.

And frankly, I don't think there's a man
here taking his service oath seriously.

You know what? I'm gonna kill him.

Fender!

Now, this is the stuff
they should be teaching in the army.

- They are.
- No kidding?

Here's a mouldy oldie
for all our friends in the motor pool.

Ridin' along in my automobile

My baby beside me at the wheel

I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile

Brass!

My curiosity runnin' wild

Cruisin' and playin' the radio

With no particular place to go

Ridin' along in my automobile

I was anxious to tell her the way I feel

So I told her softly and sincere

And she leaned and whispered in my ear

Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow

With no particular place to go

- Sarge, where can we hide the horse?
- What horse?

All right, men! Faster.
The army needs these vehicles.

Bilko?

Sergeant.

Sergeant Bilko!

Fall in, men, now! And get
into a semicircle or a rectangle, now!

Hut! Hey!

Very good. As you were.

He means go back to
what you were doing.

Colonel Hall, you look fantastic, sir.
Have you lost weight?

Why, a couple of pounds maybe.

Nell and I have been
"sweating to the oldies".

- Ah.
- Sergeant, I'm here to see about my car.

Ah, well, I'm afraid
we're still working on it, sir.

- You've had it a week and a half.
- I thought I saw it on Interstate 30.

There. Thank God I have a witness.
Thank you, Captain Moon.

And the colonel thinks
I never test-drive the vehicles.

What is that?

That's horse shit, sir. I tell the men
"You have to test-drive..."

- What's it doing there?
- It keeps the flies off the food.

There's no way you can tell
what's wrong with an engine...

- Off the food?
- It's an experiment.

I'd say the results are mixed.

It's a lot cheaper than
sending out for it, sir.

And fresher too.

Bilko, are you mental?
This is not the horse cavalry.

- You can't bring livestock onto the post.
- You're right, sir.

You heard the colonel. Assemble horse
platoon and get the horse out of here!

- All right, double-time, soldier.
- Sergeant, please, tell me about my car.

- Do you know anything about cars, sir?
- No.

Ah. Well, you see that
sort of pointy thing right there?

It seems that it's impinging on the
browned, round thing with the spots.

- You see, when Henry Ford first...
- Colonel Hall.

- Corporal, what is it?
- Permission to speak privately?

- Of course. Excuse me, Bilko.
- Absolutely.

- What is it, Corporal?
- The Pentagon called.

The Pentagon?
How did they get my number?

They're sending a team
to observe tomorrow's hovertank test.

- Why? It's just a preliminary... Aah.
- What is it, sir?

Well, they're closing
a lot of military facilities lately.

What if they're planning
to close Fort Baxter?

- Do you know anything about this?
- You flatter me.

- How could l, a mere master sergeant...?
- You know everything before I do.

I'm sure it's just routine, sir.
Anyway, come back any time. Call first.

I tell you, men, serving under
a great leader like Colonel Hall...

- He's gone.
- I'm hungry. What time is it?

12 o'clock. We ordered Chinese.

- Pentagon brass, Sarge? I don't like it.
- Relax. It's just army stuff.

It's got nothing to do with us.

- Did you say 12 o'clock?
- Yeah.

- Today's Saturday?
- All day.

Saturday at noon. I have a strange feeling
I'm supposed to be somewhere.

Hmm.

I'll kill him.

- Poker game?
- No, no.

- Racetrack.
- No, no. It was something else.

My, that's a lovely dress.

- Thank you, Reverend.
- Is it new?

No, I wore it the last time
the lying shit-heel stood me up.

Ah.

Give me the ring.
You were the best man last time.

- He didn't get married last time!
- It's my turn!

- How you gonna be best man?
- Just give me the ring!

- But you can't hate him, you know?
- I can hate him. I hate him right now.

Sweetheart...

Where are you going? Nobody leave.

You came to see me get married. You're
going to - I don't particularly care who to.

Sweetheart! I know you're upset...

Daddy, stay out of this.
I know what I'm doing.

- Nelson.
- Huh?

Are you busy? Will you
marry me? I love you.

I just never realised it until now.

Well, the thing is, Rita,
I'm engaged... to your sister.

And?

Don't ask. Don't even ask.

OK, ask.

Bunny face,
you won't believe what happened.

There was this busload of sweet geriatrics.
They went rolling down a mountain side...

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Ask Wally. He's new, a real straight arrow,
never told a lie in his life. Wally?

See?

Sweetheart, sweetheart...

Oh, baby... angel puff, you're overreacting!

- You know, it's... Ooh! Bad turnout.
- It was full an hour ago.

Oh, sweetie, I... I'm well!

Sweetie, what can I do
to make it up to you?

Whaddaya want? Just tell me.
I'll do anything.

I've been waiting for seven years.

What do I want? I want my seven years
back. I can't live like this, Ernie.

I've got a maid of honour
on call 24 hours a day.

And I'm the only woman with a wedding
dress that's falling apart from wear.

- I'm sorry.
- I think you love me, Ernie.

But you're so slippery, it's impossible
to know what you're thinking.

Well, thank you.

I don't understand
what you're so afraid of.

You know what I wanna do
right here, right now?

No. Don't.

No. No, not this time.

- Don't, please.
- One game, to 500.

Don't. Please don't.

Spade. It's a double.

Triple boxes, to 500. Penny a point.

- A four?
- Yes.

Oh, two. Yeah. Come on. Here. Go, go, go.

What's up?

Well, Rocky and I were talkin' to Wally
while you and Rita were in the church.

She's a nice girl.
We don't like the way you treat her.

He's right, Sarge.
You treat her like a rube.

- Wouldn't you be happier in the navy?
- You jilted that girl.

She'll probably have to
move to another town.

Will you relax? Rita and I
have a special relationship.

You think she expected me
to marry her today? Of course not.

She expected me to do
just what I did. It's a game.

Someday you might lose that game, Ernie.

Very good, men. Make sure it's tight.

- Tight?
- Whatever.

So, Major Ebersole,
tomorrow's the big day.

- How's she look?
- I hope it won't be too humiliating, sir.

What's supposed to happen?

Well, theoretically,
and I wouldn't bet the farm...

...the hovertank will lift off and hover
several inches above the pond.

- Good. Very good.
- Yeah. Then it will engage the targets...

...the... the cannon. Boom.
The ammunition dump. Kaboom.

That truck. Boom.

Excellent. One thought.
Maybe it should be: boom, boom...

... then kaboom.

You know, save that "kaboom" for the very
last? Kind of like a "hoo-ah" grand finale.

What do you think?

- I'll make a note of it, sir.
- Good.

- Missed me. Now run!
- Ow!

- Yeah. Gotcha.
- Hey, there goes the sarge, man.

Sarge!

- Hey, Dobie, come on, let's go.
- Sarge, you get married yet?

- Not yet.
- How did Rita take it this time?

Oh, she's happy. She took
40 bucks off me in a gin game.

Oh, she's great!

Paparelli. How's tickets goin' for the
"Meet Stormin' Norman" barbecue?

- It's a sellout, Sarge.
- Find a lookalike?

- We found one.
- Ahh.

No wonder they call me
a master sergeant.

You know, things weren't
always this good.

When I first got my stripes at Fort Dix,
I considered it my responsibility...

...to provide the hardworking men and
women with some wholesome recreation.

- You ran the gambling.
- That's right, Fender.

But there was this lieutenant there -
Lieutenant Colin Thorn.

A lunatic. I mean, real smooth on
the outside, but underneath, barbed wire.

He rode me like a jockey.

Pools, raffles, card games -
I couldn't do anything.

It was like being in the army.

All right, come on, baby. Let's go!

Hi.

Finally, I got a break. They held
the division boxing finals at our post.

You couldn't stop people
from betting on it.

It was a toss-up.
Now, to me, that's just sloppy.

I like a sporting event in which I know the
outcome beforehand. It's more organised.

I get to one of the pugilists
and we reach a business accommodation.

For a 50-50 split of our winnings...

... he agrees to give less than
a supreme effort in the squared circle.

- You paid him to take a dive.
- 0f course.

I had this corporal
working for me - Leo Cletz.

The night of the fight, I give him
the money to pay off my fighter.

Leo misunderstands and gives
the money to the other fighter.

This fighter's surprised, but figures "What
the heck? It's a good price. I'll go down. "

Meanwhile, my guy figures
"Bilko meant I'll get the money later."

- "No problem. I'll go down anyway."
- So both think they're takin' a dive?

- Exactly.
- What happened?

Boxing history.

For three rounds, nobody hit anybody.
It was a dance recital.

Finally, I think out of boredom,
one of the guys connected with a right.

What the hell's goin' on here?

Lieutenant Thorn took it
as a personal insult.

- You OK? Did it hurt?
- Very cute.

It looked like Thorn
was paying off the fighter.

He was cooked.

They didn't have enough evidence for
a court martial, but sent him to Greenland.

Game, set and match - Bilko.

- Some story, huh?
- Permission to speak freely?

- Again, permission. OK.
- You dealt with him very dishonestly.

Never mind that.
What happened to him? Thorn.

I don't know. I don't know
what happened to him.

Colonel John Hall, garrison commander.
Welcome to Fort Baxter, Major.

Doberman! Wake up!

Come on, everyone!
Up and at 'em!

Come on, guys, let's not miss
one minute of this beautiful day.

Hey!

- Get outta here!
- I'll get the sarge!

That's it. Now you guys
gonna be in trouble.

- Hey, Sarge! Get up.
- What's the matter?

Everybody take cover! Gather all the men!
Man the battle stations and...

What's that music?

I understand, Major, this weapon system
is in the experimental stage.

But I think you'll be very impressed
with the... noise it produces.

It's a powerful piece of equipment.

Colonel, I really urge you
not to go ahead with this.

Ah, Major Ebersole, Major Thorn.

Major Ebersole is the brain
behind the hovertank.

He's the one really responsible.

- Thank you, sir.
- Can we get on with this?

Of course. You good to go?

All right. Let's light this candle.

Hoo-ah!

You know, with all the base closings and
downsizing, people here have been jumpy.

Ready, Colonel.

This is exciting.

OK, start her up.

It still needs work.

Fire.

Of course.

Get out! Watch out!

Let's go, campers! It's 10am.
Time to start the day.

- Mornin', Sarge.
- It's that time of the decade.

- You're taking a shower.
- Do I have to?

Everyone feels pretty strongly about it.
Here's the petition.

Aw, Sarge.

Why are you sitting there?
You were full of energy at 6am.

I don't think the guys like me.

- Oh? What makes you say that?
- They wrote me a note.

"Wally, we don't like you."
And they all signed it.

- Yeah, that's Doberman's "X".
- Can I please have another roommate?

- Why, what's the matter?
- He wet his bed.

- Oh, well, once in a while.
- No. He did it from across the room.

Major, please! At least
won't you stay for lunch?

- Do you like chicken casserole?
- No.

Well, Major, let me be frank.

A negative report from you would be
the death knell for Fort Baxter.

- We've been in a slump...
- Nine years without a successful test?

That's not a slump, that's a tradition.

But, Major, think for a minute
about the men, their careers.

- My career.
- Colonel, you play the hand you're dealt.

This isn't the career
I had in mind when I got out of OCS.

Shining a seat with my ass in DC,
visiting dumpy posts.

I thought I'd be a colonel by now
or maybe a general.

Sorry. What I saw today was a dust cloud
that cost $70 million. Good morning.

Wait! There's a lot more to
Fort Baxter than just R&D, Major.

- We have an award-winning commissary.
- Try the casserole.

And our softball team won
the division title.

And Sergeant Bilko's platoon
is in the glee club finals.

I'll certainly keep that in mind.

Did you say Bilko?

Yeah.

Is that Ernie Bilko?

One and the same.

Maybe I will stay for lunch.

Well, hoo-ah! Ignite that
chicken casserole, Captain Moon!

Yes, sir!

Now, where did that one go?

- Hey, you're eight over par, Sarge!
- Well, fix it.

- Sarge, they let you do this?
- I never asked. They'd say no.

It is an army post.

All right, I got 5-1 on Lover's Knot.

- $20 says I can hit the parking lot.
- I don't gamble.

- What is it you do do?
- Permission to speak...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go ahead.

I get up every morning and I get dressed
to protect the American way of life.

Would you tell me that later tonight
so I don't have to take a sleeping pill?

Bilko!

It can't be.

Lieutenant Thorn.

- Actually, it's Major Thorn now.
- Well, congratulations.

I didn't know you were still in the service.
I'd have looked you up long ago.

I'll bet.

Tell me, Colonel, is he still
the same rascal he was at Fort Dix?

- That's one way of putting it.
- You changed my life.

Remember that little boxing match?

Boxing match... Hmm.

That made me a new man. You remember
how stiff and uptight I used to be?

Thanks to him, I realised
you can't treat people that way.

I'm a better man for it. Thanks, Ernie.

Sure.

- What was that?
- Greyhounds, sir.

- How long will you be with us, Major?
- Not long.

Colonel, what do you say
we have that casserole?

Absolutely, and some jellied yams as well.

Ha.

Let's get back to the barracks and cancel
everything-dances, raffles, everything.

God, I forgot it's the play-offs!

Sarge! Here's the money
from the blade rentals.

Stop, stop! Put that away!
Stop, everyone! Stop!

Ridin' along in my automobile

My baby beside me at the wheel

I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile

It's Hall with Major Thorn.
Looks like a surprise inspection.

An inspection? Now? Look at this place!

- ETA, 90 seconds.
- Think. Think.

I've got to think. Where's Alpha company?

Field exercises.

So we parked way out on the Kokomo

The night was young
and the moon was gold

So we both decided to take a stroll

Can you imagine the way I felt?

I couldn't unfasten her safety belt

Cruisin' and playin' the radio

With no particular place to go

Um, which way are we...

...facing here?

Uh, well... it would
have to be this one here.

Over hill, over dale
we have hit the dusty trail

As those caissons go rolling along

And it's hi, hi, hee in the field artillery

Bilko.

Ten-hut, platoon!

- Major Thorn wants to see the barracks.
- An inspection?

I wish we had a little more time.
We're not prepared.

It just gives me a thrill to see what a
first-rate top kick can do with a platoon.

- Why don't they stand by their rooms?
- Certainly. Sergeant?

Really, sir, if the glee club misses
practice, I won't be responsible...

- I said now!
- Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

- Is this your room, soldier?
- Yes, sir.

Follow me.

Who's this?

It's the cast of my favourite TV show, sir:
The African-American Hour.

Oh? I've never heard of it.

It's on cable. See, it's funny,
but it also makes you think.

Ah. Hm.

Are these yours?

It is my understanding that you can
no longer ask me these questions, sir.

It's a new army, Major.

We're all adjusting.

- Whose bunk is this?
- Uh, mine, sir.

- That corner is not squared off!
- What? I told you to make this bunk!

Now, I don't want any of your excuses!
Now, drop and give me 20! Ha!

All right. One. We're going for one.

Colonel, you're a very courageous man.

Oh! I saw a little combat duty in Kor...

Courageous? What do you mean?

Thumbing your nose at army regulations.
But I guess your men come first.

- And 20.
- My men? First?

- What does he mean, Bilko?
- This soldier, sir.

I'd say he's about 50 pounds
over his maximum allowable weight.

What are the chances of that being
discovered and your being blamed?

Blamed?

Sergeant, I want him
at regulation weight in six weeks.

Yes, sir!

Adelaide, of course
we'll get married, sooner or later.

Nathan Detroit, after 14 years,
it is already too late to be sooner.

I'm from Rhode Island, where people
do not remain engaged for 14 years.

- They get married.
- Then why is it such a small state?

Miss Robbins. I don't get it.

Why would Adelaide stick around if he,
like, disses her all the time?

Doesn't she have any self-esteem?

Well, that's a very interesting question.

- Certainly is.
- Ernie! What are you doing here?

- Did you get the flowers I sent ya?
- No.

Darn. I'll call FedEx
and have 'em put a trace on it.

That's right, sweetheart.
Nathan's a hustler.

He's irresponsible,
and he's careless with the truth.

But the one thing he never lies about
is how much he cares for Adelaide.

See, that's his core, and she knows it.

OK, let's take a break for ten minutes.
And that was really good.

Wonderful.

Ernie, I've been thinking, and I don't think
we should see each other any more.

Sweetheart, you promised to go
to the Rusty Spur with me.

- You never give up, do you?
- Come on. Come on, sweetheart...

...go to the Rusty Spur with me.
It'd be like old times.

All right, but you've got 30 days.
If this finger is still naked in 30 days...

...it's adios, Pepe.

I mean it this time.
This is your last chance.

Major. I'm Lieutenant Oster and this is...

Lieutenant Monday. We're here
from the Inspector General's Office, sir.

I asked for the best number crunchers
in the army! I hope that's what they sent!

- If there's been any malfeasance...
- Or embezzlement...

We will find it.

This guy we're going after's
been feeding off the khaki tit for years.

He's a master sergeant.
His name is Ernie Bilko. Get him!

- Forget it, Bilko.
- But, sir, the moment my boys heard...

...about the desert manoeuvre,
they volunteered.

We still haven't got over
being left out of Desert Storm.

How the orders got crisscrossed,
I'll never know.

But if we could go on these manoeuvres,
it would make up, in some small way...

You must think I'm a nincompoop.

A nincompoop? An NCP?
On the contrary, sir.

- I think you're one of the finest...
- Las Vegas.

- What, sir?
- The desert manoeuvre will take place...

...15 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Really? I had no idea. Won't that be fun?

- Lake Mead, Hoover Dam.
- Forget it. You've got bigger problems.

Two hatchet men -
excuse me, hatchet persons -

...from the Inspector General's Office
came to audit the motor pool accounts.

- I wonder who tipped them off?
- Yes, I wonder.

Fort Baxter. How may I
direct your call? Motor pool?

Listen, Bilko, I might tell you this whole
post is skating on thin ice with hot blades.

Don't let them find anything.

- Is the colonel suggesting a cover-up?
- A cover-up?

Why, no. Is there... anything to cover up?

No... sir.

Good. Then I'm not suggesting one.

Just do... whatever it is you do
to make these things go away.

I can't help myself

Bad habits

I'm runnin' wild

Lost control

Well, I must confess

Cos I can't repress

In the last two months you
billed the army for 72 windshields?

That was a mistake.
One of my men, Private Buttersworth...

...had a hairline crack in his glasses.

- A crack?
- Yes, a hairline crack.

So to him, it looked like
all the windshields were broken.

I transferred him right out.
That's the way I am.

She's crazy about you. Every time
you're not looking, she stares.

You just missed it.

Sergeant, in the past two days we've
found a number of possible irregularities.

- Now, if you can't produce receipts...
- She's staring at you again.

Oh, just missed it!

There.

... that a boy like me

Has got so many bad habits

I said, all of these bad habits

All of these bad habits

Nothing? You found nothing?

All my training tells me
he's hiding something.

Every time we're about to
find something...

- It dissolves.
- It's like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.

- No. It's like watching a magician.
- He's got you watching his left hand...

And his right hand keeps pullin' rabbits!

Well, then, let's tie his hands.

Ernie, will you dance with me tonight?

That's up to you. Last time,
I accidentally stepped on your knee.

- What if they play our song?
- We have a song?

Don't you remember the first time we...?

Only you

How could I forget our song?
When they play it tonight...

...you and I will dance the most romantic
dance we've ever danced in our entire life.

- You promise?
- That's a promise from Ernest G Bilko.

Put some drive in your country

Keep country drivin' on

When the music gets you movin'

You know it can't be long

Baby, this is our night. Just us. Just
you and me. All night long. No soldiers.

- What do you wanna do?
- Let's shoot some pool.

- Oh, yeah.
- Hey, Sarge. You're late!

- We want to celebrate the audit with ya.
- Those bean counters didn't have a clue.

I know, I know. Sometimes
I'm so damn good I scare myself.

Just us, huh?

If you see her out tonight

And she tells you
that it's just the lights

That bring her here

And not her loneliness

That's what she says...

- I'll go get us a couple of drinks.
- OK.

...every word she says

A scorpion and a brandy alexander.

That's what she says...

The future
Mrs "Permission to Speak Freely"?

Oh, no. I mean, I don't know her.
I never even... I don't know her.

Thank you very much, everybody.
we'll be back in just a couple of minutes.

- I'll introduce ya.
- You know her?

- No.
- She's with someone.

A detail.

- Ah, you must be in Bravo company.
- No, Charlie company.

- Charlie Company! Haven't you heard?
- What?

You're shipping out -
Operation Vacuum Cleaner.

- Operation...
- Shh!

I want his name. I want it known
that in this moment of crisis...

...this man chose to sit here
and eat bar nuts.

- I didn't know!
- Go ye into the night! Hut, hut, hut, hut!

All right. Now I'll settle this.

- Hmm.
- Excuse me?

You were right. Those are
the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.

- Did he say that?
- Oh, yeah.

He said your eyes were like diamonds
sparkling on a summer night.

The old sergeant's eyes didn't see what
he saw. Anyway, here's the $20 I bet you.

I think the least you can do is sit down
and buy this young lady some dinner.

Sit down and buy dinner! Go! Hey!

Ah, to be young again.

- That's my sergeant.
- Oh.

Oh! Major Ebersole, boys.
Welcome to the Spur.

Oh, I've been here before.
Uh... five years ago.

I had... a scotch and soda.

Good. A place like this
depends on repeat business.

They're repainting our club, so we had to
move our weekly poker game down here.

Poker. I've heard wonderful things
about that game. Can I watch?

- You don't play poker?
- I'm pretty busy at the motor pool...

...up to my elbows in grease. Maybe
I could join... Oh, no, there's a problem.

I don't have any change.

We can make change. It's OK.

Oh, goody. I get to play cards.

... long way home just to think of an alibi

Well, I couldn't think of a dozen things

That hadn't already...

- Get you somethin'?
- Scotch, rocks. Good-looking woman.

That's Bilko's girl.

Now she looks even better.

I'm dealing you five cards.

- Five cards. Let me write this down.
- Yeah, OK.

Now, the worst hand that you can have...

...is if you only have one high card
and nothing else that matches.

- But then comes a pair.
- A pair. How exciting. A pair.

Only you

Can make this world seem right

Oh, thanks. Have you seen Ernie?

- No, I haven't.
- Will you hold this a second?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Excuse me. Have you guys seen Ernie?

- No.
- No.

Ernie?

Ernie!

I have three jacks and two sixes.
What's that called again?

- A full house.
- What a cute name. A full house.

- Is that good?
- Yes, that means you win.

- Again.
- Oh, God, this is almost embarrassing.

What is that? Five in a row?

What a lovely watch.
Now, let's see. We'll just shuffle.

Oops. Clumsy me.

- OK. Cut? Thank you.
- Hey!

Sorry. All right. OK.

You are my destiny

Oh. You hear that song?
It means I gotta go.

Gee, I feel bad.
Can't I give some of this back?

No, that would be wrong, wouldn't it?

All right, well, I'll just take these IOUs...

...and the pink slip, and you can cash me
out and I'll see you back at the base.

- Ernie!
- Good evening, sir.

Excuse us, Major.

Listen, I don't know why, but the colonel's
decided to climb all over your sorry butt.

I'm afraid the party's over, Ernie.

Get back to the post. I'd like to see your
men on the parade ground at 0500 hours.

- Yes, sir. Weather permitting.
- What permitting?

Who said that?

It's payback time, Bilko.

If it's all the same to you,
I'll tell my girlfriend we're leaving.

It's not all the same to me, Bilko.
Move it! Hut, hut, hut! Hut, hut, hut, hut!

You are my destiny

This solves nothing.

This solves everything.

You haven't seen someone called
Ernie Bilko, have you?

Oh, yes. He left a few minutes ago.

- Are you sure?
- Yep, I definitely saw him go, in a hurry.

You see, I happen to know
Major Ebersole offered him a poker game.

You're my dream come true

My one and only you

I can drop you off
on my way back to the post.

- This is very nice of you.
- Not at all.

May I ask you...

...could I call on you sometime?
- Oh, well, you see, I'm...

I just broke up with someone.

- He must be devastated.
- Oh... he doesn't know yet.

Fall in! Arrgh! And gather!
Gather in... in a square! All right.

Good!

All right, you've seen real soldiers before.
Just... do what they do.

All right, let's do the
"grab the rifle by the bottom" thing!

Arrgh!

All right! Now, let's do the,
you know, the shoulder thing!

Arrgh! The shoulder thing!
Ah! Arrgh! Arrgh! Yes.

All right. And now the... the
"showing the rifle for the inspection" bit.

Go! Arrgh! Arrgh!

Well, my feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

Go, go, go, go!

Dobie, come on! Come on, buddy.

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

Said feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

No. Nope.

I'm just so damn proud.

My feet can't fail me now
My feet can't fail me now

My feet can't fail, fail, fail, fail me now

I can barely move my legs

I can barely move my legs

Do me a favour and kill me now

Do me a favour and kill me now

Something, something rhymes with legs

Something, something rhymes with legs

My life is over anyhow

- Sarge!
- Sarge! He's killing us!

- I can't do this.
- What's the matter with you people?

Generation X!

- He's killin' us!
- You've all gone soft!

- Get serious, Sarge!
- I am serious.

I've been thinking about this.
You're Bilko's platoon!

Whatever they dish out, we can take.

I want to see you two in my quarters.

- Oh!
- Sarge.

I'm paralysed.
I have no feeling from the hair down.

Make the bad man stop.

- Who are you calling?
- Rita. Her voice will make me feel better.

Ow. Ow, ow, ow.

If any of this is frightening,
just hold onto me.

They're dancing Raisinets.

And you don't find that frightening?

Let's work

Be proud

Stand tall

- Sarge? Sarge.
- What's the matter?

I put on three pounds.

Funny, it doesn't show.
Luis! This calls for plan A.

That won't work. He's on his way over.
He says if I can't do ten push-ups...

...he's gonna move me out.

All right! Plan B.

Major Thorn, you look fantastic, sir!
Have you lost w...

Good work, Doberman!

So, John, if you spoke to the officers
and their wives, it would mean a lot.

They keep hearing rumours
that Fort Baxter will be shut down.

Frankly, sweetheart, after this hovertank
disaster, I don't know what might happen.

Oh, dear. I didn't realise it was that bad.

Well, you will think of something.
I have complete faith in you.

Thank you.

- Sorry, I didn't realise you had company.
- Quite all right, Bilko.

Colonel, you didn't tell me
there was a movie star here.

Sharon Stone! The men will be so excited.

- Bilko.
- We've seen all your movies.

- They're a little racy for me.
- Sergeant Bilko...

You know this is Mrs Hall.

Mrs Hall! Cradle robber. You were
dazzled by an older man, is that it?

- Bilko!
- Yes, my colonel?

John, I will see you later.

Right this way, Miss Stone. Uh... Mrs Hall.

- What is it, Sergeant?
- Sir, if I could ask you again.

- These desert manoeuvres...
- You can go.

If you'd seen the look on the men's faces
when I said we wouldn't...

- I said I've changed my mind.
- Zimmerman...

...I had to cradle him in my... We can go?

- Have a safe trip, Sergeant.
- Yes, sir. We'll make you proud, sir.

Oh, sure.

Bright light city gonna set my soul

Gonna set my soul on fire

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

There's blackjack and poker
and the roulette wheel

All you need's a strong heart
and a nerve of steel

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing

Sarge, you're crying.

It's just... so beautiful.

Viva, viva, Las Vegas

All right, soldiers. Prepare for manoeuvres!

I killed an afternoon convincing
Colonel Dunderhead he'd be in trouble...

...if Bilko didn't go on the manoeuvres.

You've got three days
to get into this computer.

Find me everything.

If he stole a match,
I want to know about it.

I'm goin' to party town

Yeah, yeah

I wanna party down

Yeah, yeah

I wanna have some fun
I'm gonna fool around

I'm goin' to party town

Right here in party town

Yeah, yeah

They really party down

Yeah, yeah

Man, it's a party town

Yeah, yeah

- Where we goin'?
- Craps.

Think of the changes you wanna make
when we own this place.

Hey, Sarge, I was thinkin',
is it safe for us to be off the base?

- Thorn will be up to somethin'.
- You just thought of that?

Relax. Before we left, I had Luis encrypt
the files. It'll take 'em years to break in.

We're in.

Good job.

Now, how far back do you want us to go?

You two kids have just been sensational.

Why don't you knock off
for the rest of the evening?

And do what?

- Have fun. Unwind.
- Hm.

- Well, shall I...?
- No, leave it on for a second.

I'd just like to check on one or two things,
just out of curiosity.

Well, good night.

Good night.

I think it was very exciting,
the way you broke into that computer.

- It was?
- Yes!

- Can I buy you a drink?
- Why, yes.

Oh, oh, oh! There they go!

Oh, my. All right.

Oh! Ouch! They're hot! They're hot.
Quick, quick, cool 'em off.

Press the six and the eight
and the black ten.

- All right, here we go. Now...
- Oh, he's shakin' 'em off.

Uh-oh, he's comin' with the pitch.
It looks like the high, hard one!

Ooh, baby! Oh, good.

Gently. OK, and now, it's just a little...
It's easy, it's easy, it's easy.

It's just... behind the back.

Winner! We have a winner.

Wait a minute. This chip is scratched.

- Mr Bilko.
- Yes?

That's quite a run.
Is there anything we can do for you?

Yes, go to your vault and tell your money
to be patient. We'll be together soon.

You mean he stood you up
before that night at the Rusty Spur?

Mm-hm. He left me standing at the altar.

There can be no excuse for that.

You'd be surprised. He had a new excuse
every time. They were all pretty amazing.

- He did that more than once?
- Mm-hm.

Rita, you have a lot of love to give.

And you're smart.
Why put up with a clown like that?

Because it was exciting. With Ernie,
every day was anything-can-happen day.

Some couples play Scrabble.

This isn't a game we're talking about -
it's your life.

Where I come from, when you tell
a woman you'll marry her, you mean it.

You know something? I would never
stand you up. I'd never not call you.

But then, I'm an officer with career
prospects. I can handle responsibility.

I guess you can.

Wouldn't you like a man
who's there for you?

A man who wants to get married,
settle down and have a family.

Yes.

I bought you this.

A ring!

Two carats of cubic zirconia.

It's beautiful.

Oh...

This is happening... too fast.

I don't want to hurt Ernie.

No.

We really don't want to hurt Ernie.

- That's when Vegas was Vegas.
- Excuse me, Mr Bilko?

- He said it was an emergency.
- This must be the Pentagon.

Hello? I can hardly hear you.

Rita Robbins. She's been out
with that guy Thorn every night.

- Thorn?
- Since before you went on manoeuvres.

Tomorrow night they're going out to
that fancy French restaurant in Roseville.

She's lookin' pretty weak, Ernie,
I gotta tell ya. Like she would do anything.

- Thanks, Sowicki.
- Bye, Ernie.

- Thank you, Stan.
- Hey, thank you!

For allowing me
to screw with Bilko's head.

Oh, it isn't a game this time, Stan.

I just need to find out
how much he really loves me.

- He loves you plenty.
- More than Las Vegas?

That's asking a lot.

Hi, this is Rita. I'm not in
right now. Please leave a message.

Rita, it's me, Ernie. I'm on my way home.
I hear you're seeing Thorn...

...and I just don't want you to take it too
seriously. He's only with you to annoy me.

I see. He couldn't possibly be interested
in me-that would be ridiculous.

Rita, you're there.
This guy has terrible qualities.

- For one thing, he's very manipulative.
- He seemed nice to me. Goodbye.

Hello? Hello?

Rita? Rita?

Why do you smell the cork?

Your eyes are hazel, aren't they?

Green.

I never have sex on the first date.

Thank God, it's our third. Oh, this is such
a... Oh, can't you just smell that... salad?

Yes, I have a reservation.

Ah, this must be the table. You know,
what they do very well here is the garlic.

Oh, I touched you.
My temperature is rising.

Waiter, could we have two glasses
of red house, uh... s'il vous please?

In.

Bilko. What a fool.

Yeah.

How can he afford to eat here
on a sergeant's pay?

- I'll be a lieutenant colonel very soon.
- No kidding?

- That woman's kind of attractive too.
- You think so?

Well, not compared to you, of course.

Anyway, I understand
the oysters here are...

...very, uh, very, uh... imported.

- Just get me out of here fast.
- Relax, Paparelli.

If you wanna make Rita jealous,
why not use Barbella?

She knows Barbella. I needed someone
she can't recognise. Someone alluring.

Thank you.

Ah! Well, it's Rita Robbins
and Major Thorn! Ah! A-ha-ha, aha.

Um, excuse me. One moment.

She's coming over? She's coming over?

Ernie, you made Paparelli
get into drag just to make me jealous?

Well, actually, he was already in drag.
Paparelli, scram! Get going.

Rita, you can't marry Thorn.
You don't love him.

Think of the children.
You're a Catholic and he's an asshole!

How would you raise them? And he's
already cheating on you with Paparelli.

Hi, soldier boy.

Sowicki never told you
I was marrying Thorn.

You told Sowicki to call me.
You manipulated me. How could you?

Why not? I have a master's in
manipulation from the University of Bilko.

You tricked me. You sucked me in.

This is the most turned on
I've ever been in my life.

Rita, I'm so glad
we're back together again.

Twelve more days.

No wonder the hovertank never worked.

Yes, sir. He's been diverting research
funds into his own private account.

For all the differences I've had with Bilko
over the years, I've always liked him.

The way he kept up the men's morale.

The way he'd pretend to cry when I went
on leave. The way, on my birthday...

...he'd have the men mow my name in
the main lawn with a big heart around it.

- But now there'll be a court martial.
- Yes, sir.

- Unless...
- Unless?

It's just that I know we'd both
do anything to spare Bilko a court martial.

If he could just be quietly punished.

Yeah, sure.

But... but how?

The CO has certain powers, sir.

- Powers?
- Can't he, for instance, have a soldier...

...trans...

Trans... atlantic?

Trans... vestite?

- Transferred!
- What a wonderful idea.

Yes, well, the wheels are always spinning.

It'd have to be somewhere where there'd
be no chance of him making trouble again.

Greenland?

He's been out walking
by himself for, like, four hours.

- What's he doin'?
- He's thinkin'.

- I thought I heard him crying.
- He even asked for a box of tissues.

I guess you're happy.

Yeah. He hated the sarge.
He was probably helping Thorn to get him.

- I was not!
- Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This is Bilko we're
talkin' about here. Bilko!

Nobody gets the best of Bilko. Come on!

- That's right.
- He'll think of somethin'.

Remember when I got the letter from
my wife sayin' she wanted to break up?

- Remember what Bilko did?
- He got your wife back?

No, he got me another wife. A better wife!

- Yeah!
- He'll come up with his best plan ever.

Listen, I pity Major Thorn.
When Bilko gets done with him...

- Sarge!
- Ten-hut!

Hey, Sarge!

- Sarge!
- Sarge! You've come back!

Ah, Doberman. The son I never wanted.

Fall in and look this way!

Hello, soldiers.

I'm talking to you.
Because that's what you are really.

Soldiers, every last one of you -
with a couple of exceptions.

- He's got a plan.
- He sure does.

I wanna tell you a little story.
There was once a little boy...

...and that little boy had a dream to run
one of the most sophisticated...

...illegal gaming operations
the US Army has ever seen.

- He's not worried.
- Not a bit.

And that little boy's dream came true.

But now they're trying to
snatch that dream back from him.

- He is worried.
- That's not good.

But what are the last two letters
in the name Bilko? K-O!

Of course, the first are B-l-L,
which is meaningless.

But still, am I giving up? No! Never!
Well, kind of, but not really...

...because there is no way
I am going to Greenland.

Well, you're probably wondering
if I have a plan.

Well, of course I have a plan!
A P-L-A-N. Plan.

But...

- He's got no plan.
- We're screwed.

- I have a plan, Sarge.
- But maybe a plan is not what I need!

What I really need is just a little puppy.

A little puppy with big, brown eyes
who'll just come to me and lick my face...

...and just love me so much,
no matter what kind of person I am.

Sarge, I really do have a plan.

Oh, so now you have a plan.
Well, let's hear your plan, Wally.

What if the hovertank did work? That'd
prove you haven't diverted the money.

Oh! That is so stup... What?

That would prove you hadn't been
diverting the money. Wouldn't it?

Are you saying you can get
the hovertank to work?

No, of course not. But we don't need to
hold four aces if they think we hold 'em.

Permission to speak freely?

Tell me a bit more about this plan,
because I think that's actually...

If they come, deny everything.
Just act dumb.

Fender, I'm putting you in charge of that.

I love the nightlife, I like to boogie

I like to rock all night long

Ahem.

Oh... it's you, Bilko.

Sir, if I could talk with you
just for a moment.

If you've come to talk about Greenland,
you're wasting your time.

Frankly, Sergeant, I'm disappointed.

Sir, all I ever wanted was an honest
week's pay for an honest day's work.

- I didn't steal money, sir.
- Please, Bilko.

Let's just say goodbye.

And thank you.

- For what, sir?
- Well, for...

...always making me feel like
I actually ran this place.

Good old Fort Baxter.

I guess your garden
is one of the things you'll miss most.

Ah, yes. I love...

- Miss? Why miss?
- The colonel hasn't heard?

- In that case, it must not be true.
- What? Uh... they're closing Fort Baxter?

You didn't hear it from me.

Take good care of yourself in...
I've said enough.

Have you heard where they're sending me?

- You're stepping on your flowers.
- The hell with them! Where?

- Where are they sending me?
- It's just rumour, sir.

Oh, that fair skin
under the burning desert sun...

Oh, my God. The desert sun.

Remember, if you get lost, travel by night.

- How can they do this to me?
- The hovertank test was the last straw.

Too bad they didn't schedule it this week.

Well...

- Goodbye.
- Wha...? Wait!

- You mean the hovertank is working?
- Oh, I know what you're thinking, sir:

..."Arrange a public demonstration ASAP."

"Call the Pentagon
and the Department of the Army."

- All right.
- I've already taken that liberty, sir.

- Thank you.
- Oh, that picture of you...

...standing triumphant at the test.

That'll keep me warm
on those lonely nights in Greenland.

In Greenland, sir.

Oh. Yes.

Well, goodbye.

- Ah, Bi...
- Yes, sir?

If the test goes well,
you won't be transferred.

Well, thank you, sir! I'm stunned!

Just as a formality,
I've put that in writing.

If you could just sign here
and here, and initial here.

- Here?
- Uh, no. Here.

And I'll just notarise that.

- And I'll waive the usual ten-dollar fee.
- Oh. Thank you.

Here you are. Good day.

No, it'll hover. But as before...

...it will go completely haywire
if we attempt to fire the cannon.

We know that. We just need
a couple of hours with it.

- Let's get started.
- It's a $70-million piece of equipment.

You think I'm gonna allow
one of your men to fool around with it?

- I think not.
- Oh. Mm-hm.

Oh, boy. Oh, my, is it hot in here or what?

What's this? Oh!
I almost forgot I had these.

It's the IOUs from the poker game.

- Would he like to use my tools?
- That would be nice.

- You saw it?
- Yeah, it blew up the ammunition shed.

- A perfect hit.
- The hovertank?

- I thought that thing was busted.
- Yeah, it was.

But the kid, Wally, he fixed it.

He said the key was the...

The...?

The fire-control
and super-elevator board.

- Imagine that.
- Yeah, the super-elevator board.

And the great thing is, if it works
at the demonstration, Bilko gets to stay.

Great!

Yeah.

- Wonderful to see you again, General.
- You, too, Colonel. Mrs Hall.

- And, of course, you know Major Thorn.
- Thorn.

- Tank crew ready, sir.
- Very good, Bilko. General.

Master Sergeant Bilko.
It's an honour to meet you.

- You look terrific! Have you lost weight?
- Who is this?

Members of Congress, General Tennyson,
colleagues from the defence industries...

...distinguished guests, welcome.

The weapon system
you are about to see today...

...can be called the world's first
truly all-terrain assault vehicle...

...which I'm proud to say was developed
entirely in-house, here at Fort Baxter.

I give you the armoured attack platform
to lead American defence forces...

...into the 21st century.
The HTX-1 hovertank.

Water and rough terrain can stop
an ordinary M1 or APC...

...but the hovertank can literally rise
above these obstacles.

And that is the capability
we will show you here today.

Hovertank, you are looking good.

Hovertank, fire when ready. Hoo-ah!

Ha. This little bird packs a deadly punch.

Fire in the hole!

- You hit the wrong button, Rastahead!
- It's not my fault! He wired it wrong!

Any questions?

Congratulations, honey.

- Home run, sir!
- Thank you, Captain.

- We'll rush this baby into production.
- Thank you.

Jack, I thank you
on behalf of a grateful nation.

I just can't wait to see
what you fellas come up with next.

Wait! Wait. The demonstration was rigged.

Ah, do I see politics in your future, sir?
Perhaps a run at the Oval Office?

I've never given that serious consideration.

Wait! General! He faked it!

Didn't you see the gun was aimed
at target three, but blew up target four?

Yes, I did.

If you remember
Einstein's theory, space is curved.

- Yes.
- And these are smart weapons.

Oh, cut the crap! He faked it.
It's just one of his scams.

That's a serious charge.
Colonel, what about this?

General, in all my years in the service...

...I have never, not once,
publicly berated a fellow officer.

But I realise now that from the moment
Major Thorn set foot on Fort Baxter...

...he engaged in a personal vendetta
against Master Sergeant Bilko.

I find his conduct inexcusable, and will
recommend an article 32 investigation.

- I see.
- You don't understand.

He doesn't know what's going on. This
sergeant leads him around by the nose!

Major! You are the most
insubordinate officer I have ever met.

I'm telling you, he's a boob! He doesn't
get it! They faked the whole thing!

I'd like to see just one piece of evidence
to support these idiotic allegations.

Idiotic, huh? How's this for evidence? The
fire-control and super-elevator board.

I took it out last night,
so how can it work?

So you deliberately
sabotaged this project, Major?

I got it all on tape.

Lucky.

- Whoo!
- Yeah, celebration time.

Chin-chin.

Because I know Pap knew it,
and I... Stand, troops!

- You're in the presence of a genius.
- Hoo-ah!

You're a total kingpin. You got Thorn
to sabotage something that didn't work!

Yeah, well, I couldn't have done it without
our Wally. Where is he, where is the lad?

Here, Sarge.

I was just resetting
the colonel's odometer.

- I told you Wally was all right.
- OK. Glee club.

Oh, well.

Only you, only you, only you

Can make this change in me

Only you

You are my destiny

Destiny

When you hold my hand,
I understand the

Magic that you do,
magic that you do

Ooh, you're my dream come true

My one and only

You

Hum

Hum

It's only you

Very nice.

Aw, get up, Bilko.

Marry me, Rita. I know I'm a long shot,
but sometimes long shots pay off big.

Don't even ask. I forgot it was
daylight-savings time. Can you believe it?

Well, better late than never.

- Poker?
- All right.

Nickel ante.

Let's make it interesting.
One hand of showdown.

If I win, we get married.

Ernie, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

I've never known you to chicken out
of a game, whatever the stakes.

You're on.

Well, well, well, what do you know?

- Full house. Jacks over threes.
- You cheated!

- No, and we're getting married!
- When?

Now!

Daddy!

- Ow!
- Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...

...to witness the joining of these
two good people in holy matrimony.

Rita Robbins, do you take Ernest Bilko
to love, honour and cherish...

...for richer or poorer...
- Think we're moving too fast?

- I do.
- Let's go!

- Do you, Ernest Bilko, take Rita...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do.

By the power vested in me, I pronounce
you husband and wife. You may ki...
