:40:06
- What is this, Quirt?
- I don't know. I didn't quite
catch the drift myself.
:40:09
- You been around with Charmaine?
- Charmaine? Char...
:40:12
Cut the act! You knew she was my girl
and couldn't keep your hands off her.
:40:15
- Suppose it's true, what are
you gonna do about it?
- What am I gonna do about it?
:40:18
Yeah?
:40:26
I'm not gonna do a thing.
:40:30
It's regulations, Quirt.
:40:32
A formal charge has been lodged against you
and my hands are tied. I'm trapped.
:40:36
If I let the old man go to headquarters,
you know the law. They'll hang you.
:40:40
It breaks my heart to see
this happen, Quirt...
:40:42
but you are about
to become a bridegroom.
:40:44
This is a frame-up,
and you know it!
:40:46
This old man just wants money.
He ain't got a thing on me.
:40:48
I haven't done anything with Charmaine
but teach her a couple of songs.
:40:51
What's so funny?
:40:53
Oh, Quirt. With your reputation in
this army, who's gonna believe that?
:40:57
I'll take my chances.
Let him go to headquarters.
:40:59
Don't be a hay shaker, Quirt.
:41:02
What chance would you have
before an army court-martial...
:41:04
when 10 majors start
an iron ball rolling?
:41:06
Ten majors back in Paris are gonna see to
it that nobody has any fun but themselves.
:41:10
You haven't got a chance, Quirt,
and you know it!
:41:13
Aldrich, escort Sergeant Quirt
down to the tavern.
:41:16
And tell Charmaine I'm giving away in
marriage the handsomest sergeant in the war.
:41:20
And, Quirt! You arrived just in time
with the replacements.
:41:24
You've saved the day. The marines have
landed and the situation is well in hand.
:41:29
We're going to decorate you.
We're gonna let you hold the bag!
:41:33
Kiper! Get down to the manure pile
and pick up the mayor.
:41:37
- Dust him off and bring him back here.
- Aye, sir.
:41:39
I wanna witness
this ceremony myself.
:41:53
Good morning, boys.
:41:58
I'm in the clear because she'll explain
she don't want this.
