:21:03
Anyway...
:21:05
Interesting books.
:21:08
Interesting everything.
:21:11
Interesting, or interesting
for someone like me?
:21:14
Is this another lesson about girls?
We're condescending to soldiers?
:21:21
I don't know how y'all survive in that
hotbed of communism at The Post.
:21:25
- Now, that's something.
- Yeah, Pravda on the Potomac.
:21:28
Working for Senator Ervin,
I could ask the same thing.
:21:32
Now, now, sugar. Sam Ervin prides
himself in not being left of anybody.
:21:39
- That's for sure.
- Except maybe his mama.
:21:42
Except these red-blooded
American storm troopers!
:21:46
Is that what brought you boys
together? Right-wing politics?
:21:51
So, what do you guys do
on that Army post?
:21:58
Clell, old boy, you mean
you haven't told the lady?
:22:02
Why, madam, we are the Old Guard.
We are the nation's toy soldiers.
:22:08
We march with rifles that can't shoot.
We fix bayonets that cannot stick.
:22:13
We're the Kabuki theatre
of the profession of arms.
:22:17
Jesters in the court of Mars,
god of war, doo-da, doo-da.
:22:20
Now, Goody Nelson, you just
hush that up right now.
:22:24
You're beginning to sound
just like Clell...
:22:27
...bitter and cynical and irreverent.
:22:31
You have to be among the Army's
top people to get in.
:22:35
And it is a right nice honour,
I think, and a privilege...
:22:39
...for them to have
been asked to join.
:22:42
Wait a minute! We weren't asked.
We were ordered.
:22:47
We actually applied for a teaching
position at the infantry school.
:22:53
We thought we'd help some of them
come back standing up...
:22:57
...instead of stretched out
in those boxes we plant.
