Hey, Maggio! Hello!
Hiya, Prew.
What are you doing over here?
Transferred over from Fort Shafter.
- You quit the Bugle Corps?
- Yup.
For here?
I didnt pick it.
You made a very bad mistake.
This outfit, they can give back Custer.
Yeah?
Captain aint in yet.
Ill look around.
What do you think youre doing?
- Whats your name?
- Prewitt. Transfer from Fort Shafter.
I heard about you.
I heard about you, too, Sergeant.
This heres a rifle outfit, Prewitt.
You aint supposed to enjoy yourself
before sundown.
Put up your cue and come along.
Grand went to the hospital yesterday.
You put him in the sick book?
- Didnt have time.
- Youre the company clerk, Mazzioli.
The medics returned the sick book
late yesterday. Ill do it now.
Thanks, I already done it for you.
Youre the best bugler
they got over at Shafter.
- Youre the best bugler on this island.
- Thats true.
I feel for you, pal.
But from my position,
I cant quite reach you.
Ten-hut!
At ease.
- Morning, sir.
- Morning, men.
Anything special for me?
Ive only a few minutes.
Yes, sir. New man here.
Oh, yes. Come in.
Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt, reporting
to the Company Commander, as ordered.
At ease. Wheres that service record?
"Born in Kentucky.
Enlisted first at Fort Meyer, Virginia.
"Bugle Corps, First Bugler."
Prewitt, I always make it a policy
to talk to my new men.
Now, I have a fine, smooth-running outfit.
If I like a soldier, he can become
a non-commissioned officer quickly.
But he has to show me
that hes got it on the ball.
What trouble were you in,
in the Bugle Corps?
No trouble, sir.
What made you transfer out, then?
It was a personal matter.
- Something you wanted to ask, Sergeant?
- Why, yes, sir.
Prewitt, you was a corporal
in the Bugle Corps.
You took a bust to buck private
to transfer to an infantry outfit. Why?
Because you like to hike, or was it
because you couldnt stand to bugle?
It was a personal matter.
Thats up to the Company Commander
to decide.
Well?
I was First Bugler for two years.
The Top Kick had a friend
who transferred in from another outfit.
The next day he was made
First Bugler over me.
I was a better bugler.
And you asked out on account of that?
Maybe it aint sensible,
but thats the reason.
His feelings were hurt.
Kids they send us now!
Well get your stripes back for you,
maybe an extra one for good measure.
- Know why youre assigned to G Company?
- No, sir.
I pulled a few strings. Im the regimental
boxing coach, you know.
Yes, sir.
I saw your fight with Connors in the Bowl
year before last. You should have won.
Thank you, sir.
Our regiment got beaten in the finals
last December, but I mean to win this year.
All Ive needed is a top middleweight.
Im sorry, sir. I quit fighting.
Quit fighting? When? What for?
Well, over a year ago.
Maybe you heard about what happened
with Dixie Wells?
- You mean that fellow that got hurt?
- Yes, sir.
Yes, I heard about that. Its too bad.
I can understand how you feel,
but those things happen.
Thats why I decided I would quit, sir.
You might as well say stop war
because one man got killed.
Our fighting programme
is the best morale builder we have.
Ive got a mighty sour company bugler.
Howd you like the job?
Not if it means fighting.
Looks to me as if youre trying to acquire
a reputation as a lone wolf.
You should know that in the Army
its not the individual that counts.
Youll find that we wont put
any pressure on you in my outfit.
Just dont make any mistakes in it,
thats all.
Im going to town.
Anything else, Sergeant?
Company fund reports due tomorrow.
- You make it out. Is that all?
- No, sir.
Whatever it is, you fix it up.
If anything has to go in this afternoon,
sign my name.
- I wont be back.
- Yes, sir.
Hed strangle in his own spit
if I wasnt here to swab his throat out.
Come on.
You been in the Army what now?
Five years? Five and a half?
Yeah.
Dont you think its about time
you got smart?
You know what you did just now,
turning down Dynamite Holmes?
You put your head in the noose.
Things are soft for a boxer in this outfit.
Otherwise, you better know how to soldier.
I can soldier with any man.
This place is getting to be like
the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
- Whos that?
- Shes Captain Holmes wife.
Youll fight, Prewitt, because
Captain Holmes wants to be Major Holmes.
Hes got an idea hell make it
if he gets a winning team.
If you dont do it for him, do it for me.
Cause my job is to keep him happy, see?
More hes happy, the less he bothers me,
and the better I run this company.
So, we know where we stand,
dont we, kid?
I know where I stand.
A man dont go his own way hes nothing.
Maybe back in the days of the pioneers
a man could go his own way.
But today, you got to play ball.
Leva!
Cant I once find you in the supply room
working with both hands?
I cant do no better
on what you people pay me.
Draw this man some supplies.
G Company squad room is on the top floor.
Take your bags then come here.
Leva will help you lug your stuff upstairs.
Save you making four or
