00:14:20There's nothing finer than to be in Carolina or in Tennessee

00:14:26Yes, I love the South

00:14:28Cause Alabama, old Kentucky, my old mammy, means so much to me

00:14:32And when they mention the states above the old M.D. line

00:15:17Say

00:15:18I went down South a while ago

00:15:21To spend a short vacation

00:15:22And I overheard the most intriguing

00:15:26Southern conversation

00:15:28Said, North Carolina

00:15:30Said, South Carolina

00:22:05I told you a dozen times

00:22:07There's no place in the army for flat feet

00:22:09Who's got flat feet?

00:22:10All right

00:22:11One flat foot

00:22:12Not anymore

00:22:12I got two of the nicest arches you ever saw

00:22:15The doctor said so

00:22:16Okay

00:22:16I'll give you another chance

00:22:17Report to the examining officer

00:22:18Thanks

00:22:19Gentlemen

00:22:24Can we have

00:22:28Can we have an application, sergeant?

00:22:30Are you two men over 18?

00:22:32Sure

00:22:33Here are your applications

00:22:34Wait a minute, you two

00:22:38I saw what happened over there

00:22:39What's the idea of lying about your age?

00:22:41We didn't lie

00:22:42Not much

00:22:42You're not over 18

00:22:43And you know it

00:22:44Oh, no?

00:22:48Pardon me

00:22:48I made it

00:22:52I made it

00:22:53I'm in the army now

00:22:54I'm on my way and how

00:22:56As one of a mob that's doing a job

00:22:58We're in the army now

00:23:00The monkey men will so-key-oh

00:23:02Polly-boo

00:23:03The monkey men will so-key-oh

00:23:06Polly-boo

00:23:07They'll find an all-o-joke-y-oh

00:23:09When they get a swift kick in their co-key-oh

00:23:11Ding-dee ding-dee

00:23:12Polly-boo

00:23:13Polly-boo

00:23:14Polly-boo

00:23:15Love, I miss your ass will fight. Love, I miss you too.

00:23:21Ah, they're bringing me all right, but they can't put my fuel.

00:23:28Oh, ma, the body's spoiling me, like you used to do.

00:23:35They won't let me stay, it's better to do.

00:23:39And I'm 45, they play me as soon.

00:23:42We realize there's a vast difference between Army routine and civilian life.

00:23:56In the past weeks, you've probably known that.

00:23:58Now we start our intensive training program.

00:24:01It won't be easy, but I know that you'll all respond,

00:24:04realizing that we're all together fighting a common cause.

00:24:07Sergeant?

00:24:08Take charge of the company.

00:24:13Yes, sir.

00:24:15Tomorrow, Reveille will be at 5 a.m. instead of 6.

00:24:18This company will fall in at 6.30 for target practice.

00:24:21Company, dismissed!

00:24:23Hey, Snavel.

00:24:25Sergeant Snavel, are you?

00:24:26All right, Sergeant Snavel, why do I have to go to this target practice?

00:24:30So we can teach you to shoot an Army rifle.

00:24:32Teach me? I've been shooting for years. I could probably teach you guys a few things.

00:24:35Apprentice, play period's over. You heard what the captain said. This is war.

00:24:38Oh, fall in, fall out, target practice.

00:24:41I came to the Army to fight, not to go to school.

00:24:43You see this?

00:24:44Yeah.

00:24:45Took me years of hard work to earn them, and I'm proud to live up to all they represent.

00:24:48Now go get your gun to report back here.

00:24:50Oh, I think the whole setup's cockeyed.

00:24:51I'm in good condition, I can shoot a gun. Why do I have to train?

00:24:54Why don't you tell the captain your troubles?

00:24:56All right, I will. Where is he?

00:24:57Over there, and he'd love to see you.

00:24:59That's good enough for me.

00:25:06Hey! Which one of you guys is Harry James?

00:25:08Here.

00:25:09Private James, a sergeant major's appointed you company bugler.

00:25:13Company bugler?

00:25:14How about that, a bugle boy of my age?

00:25:16Must be a bird or something in here.

00:25:29The greatest trumpet player in the world, and he can't blow a bugle.

00:25:33I think there's a great deal of merit in your complaint, Private Prentiss.

00:25:37A man with your capabilities shouldn't be forced to do things to his wishes.

00:25:40Lieutenant Mason, if there are any duties that Private Prentiss doesn't care to perform,

00:25:45needs to be excused.

00:25:46Yes, sir.

00:25:47Make that an order.

00:25:49I think that'll take care of it, Private Prentiss.

00:25:51Thank you, Captain.

00:25:56That boy's in for a lot of trouble.

00:25:58What makes you think so, Captain?

00:25:59About 20 years ago at the Academy, a cadet had the same idea.

00:26:03What happened?

00:26:04Hadn't you noticed?

00:26:05I sometimes walk with a slight limp.

00:26:15Here they come.

00:26:16Gosh!

00:26:17I wish the Chief would get here.

00:26:25Hi, Chief.

00:26:26Hi.

00:26:27You're late, Chief.

00:26:28Well, what detained you?

00:26:30Oh, well, that's different.

00:26:32I got the traps all set.

00:26:34I followed your plans exactly.

00:26:36Oh, don't you like it?

00:26:37But it works.

00:26:38Here.

00:26:39I'll show you.

00:26:40Watch.

00:26:41Do you think this is the right spot for the proving ground?

00:26:55And...

00:26:56Hey, you guys.

00:26:57Where are ya?

00:26:58Hey, fellas!

00:26:59Here we are, Sarge.

00:27:00No, not you.

00:27:01Just a minute ago, new fellas, right here.

00:27:02Right in this very spot.

00:27:03I turned my back and they're gone.

00:27:04So I said to...

00:27:06Hey, fellas!

00:27:17Hey, fellas!

00:27:18Where are ya?

00:27:19Hey, fellas!

00:27:20Where are ya?

00:27:21What's the matter, Sarge?

00:27:22Now, listen, soldiers.

00:27:23There's something screwy going on around here.

00:27:25Line up!

00:27:26Tension!

00:27:35Wild strawberries.

00:27:36Come on, Prentice.

00:27:37Fall in with the rest of the gang.

00:27:38Where is the gang?

00:27:39Now, look, Prentice.

00:27:40If this is a joke, let's quit playing.

00:27:41All right, men!

00:27:42Fall in!

00:27:43We did fall in!

00:27:44Where are ya?

00:27:45Down here!

00:27:48Oh, one of those ventriloquists, eh?

00:27:49I didn't...

00:27:50Well, cut out this Charlie McCarty stuff!

00:27:51I didn't...

00:27:52I saw your lips move!

00:27:53Oh, strawberries!

00:27:54Raspberries!

00:27:55And nuts!

00:27:56Oh, a fruit compote, eh?

00:27:57Smart guy!

00:27:58Spread out!

00:27:59Look around!

00:28:00Reconnoiter!

00:28:01No kidding, fellas!

00:28:02Where are ya?

00:28:03We're right under your feet.

00:28:04It's like a tunnel.

00:28:05I'll march out of there!

00:28:07Attention!

00:28:08Right shoulder!

00:28:09Arms!

00:28:10Arms!

00:28:11Oh!

00:28:13Oh!

00:28:14Oh!

00:28:15Oh!

00:28:20They just found the signs from the Proving Grounds!

00:28:23Proving Grounds?

00:28:24What signs?

00:28:25Oh, we always put up signs whenever Uncle set some of his spy traps up.

00:28:28Oh!

00:28:29So this is a trap?

00:28:30Yes!

00:28:31An Institute trap!

00:28:32Uncle must have been taking his tonic again!

00:28:34Oh!

00:28:35Oh!

00:28:36Oh!

00:28:37Oh!

Gonna knock you right off your seats. Here we come rompin' and a-stompin' a song or dig it with three beats.

00:31:13The Andrews sisters, welcome to Camp Haley

00:31:17Look at that uniform and a honeysuckle from the honey

00:31:20Girls, snatcher

00:31:23Hello, monstrosity

00:31:25Girls, will you please leave?

00:31:28Turn out to God

00:31:29I'll murder this guy, I'll tear him apart

00:31:31Cut it out

00:31:32Hello, double ugly

00:31:33Hey, cut it out, you two

00:31:35We're supposed to be fighting the Japs, not ourselves

00:31:37By my dough, he's a jeep

00:31:39That I resent

00:31:40And if it wasn't for those stripes

00:31:42Oh, don't let those stripes stop you

00:31:59Watch your excuse now

00:32:03Corporal, I know there's something wrong with this bugle

00:32:12Watch for me

00:32:13Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute

00:32:16Hold it like this

00:32:16I could play that one too if I knew it

00:32:26Yeah

00:32:27Ah, the music

00:32:30Hold it still

00:32:37Sergeant Murphy

00:32:51Here

00:32:51Private Kelly

00:32:52Here

00:32:53Wagner

00:32:53Here

00:32:53Davis

00:32:53Here

00:32:54Williams

00:32:54Prentice

00:32:55What?

00:32:55Prentice

00:32:56What is it?

00:32:57Fall out for inspection and guard duty

00:32:59Oh, not tonight, Sarge

00:33:00I'm not in a mood

00:33:01My feet hurt

00:33:02Oh, I forgot about your special privileges

00:33:05Please excuse me, Mr. Prentice

00:33:06That's okay, Sergeant

00:33:07Prescott, you replace Prentice

00:33:09What?

00:33:10You hurt me

00:33:11I'm sick and tired of doing your work, Prentice

00:33:15Oh, that's too bad

00:33:17I've been getting all the details that you turned down

00:33:19And I don't like it

00:33:19So what?

00:33:20Well, why do I have to do your work?

00:33:22I'm smart

00:33:23If I thought as much of the Army as you, I'd get out

00:33:25You slacker

00:33:26Hold it, Prescott

00:33:27Don't hurt the nightingale

00:33:30That bite's a little soft

00:33:31Yeah

00:33:33You're a disgrace to that uniform

00:33:36Oh, that Prescott's a jerk

00:33:48Guard duty

00:33:51That's not for me

00:33:52I didn't mind

00:33:53Come on, get your stuff on

00:33:56We'll go to the dance, huh?

00:33:57Thank you

00:34:22Since you were a baby, how I've babied you. Now you're not a baby, and it makes me blue.

00:34:43Tonight you're going dancing, your dreams may get a start. Don't you let that moonlight take advantage of your heart.

00:35:11You're stepping out tonight, and the moon is shining bright. I know that you will have a lot of fun, but while dancing cheek to cheek, do not let your heart grow weak.

00:35:32Just remember that's the moon, my son. She may thrill you to the skies with the moonlight in her eyes.

00:35:44But moonlight fades away when night is done. You may kiss her if you can, but be careful little man. Just remember that's the moon, my son.

00:36:01Maybe she's really very nice. Maybe you'll dream of Susan Ryan. Sonny, but you must know for sure she's the one.

00:36:13But if she can't reach your heart, even when you're far apart, then that's not the moon, that's love, my son.

00:36:25Maybe she's really very nice. Maybe she's really very nice. Maybe you'll dream of Susan Ryan. Sonny, but you must know for sure she's the one.

00:36:39But if she can't reach your heart, even when you're far apart, then you don't know that's not the moon, that's love, my son.

00:36:52Hi, soldiers. Hiya. Hi. Are you going to the dance? Mm-hmm. Have a girl? No. I'll introduce you to my sister. You will? For a quarter.

00:37:12She's pretty. It's a deal.

00:37:22Hey, sis, I want you to meet. Oh, so it's you again.

00:37:29Met before? Met before? Say, she tried to drown me. Is this what I had to pay a quarter for?

00:37:34Take a look. What have you been charging money for?

00:37:38To meet you. Give it here.

00:37:44And the rest of them. You're the sixth man she's introduced me to tonight.

00:37:49All right.

00:37:52What are you going to do with that money? Well, I'm going to buy savings stamps with us.

00:38:01Things must be pretty difficult for you if you have to pay a quarter for a blind date.

00:38:06Anybody who pays a quarter to meet you is getting robbed, ma'am.

00:38:09Oh, is that so, sir?

00:38:11Yes. Why don't you get out of here before you get yourself into trouble?

00:38:14Get out?

00:38:15Sure. This place is reserved for soldiers.

00:38:18Well, this place is also my home. Well, you don't mind if I look in occasionally, do you?

00:38:21Well, I thought that Colonel Weatherford...

00:38:24The Colonel's my uncle. My sisters and I live here with him.

00:38:28Well, how was I supposed to know that?

00:38:30Well, who said you were?

00:38:31Well, Joyce.

00:38:32Oh, Lieutenant. This is private...

00:38:34Affendish, yes. We've met before.

00:38:36Well, honey, I guess I'd better get back to camp.

00:38:38Oh, so soon, Howard.

00:38:39Well, I'll see you for lunch tomorrow. Good night.

00:38:42Oh, Lieutenant.

00:38:43Haven't you forgotten something?

00:38:45Pardon me.

00:38:46Well...

00:39:02Stuffed shirt.

00:39:03You haven't got a good word for anybody, have you?

00:39:06I think he's rather nice.

00:39:07Yes, I guess they all fall for those fancy uniforms.

00:39:10Say, do you always carry on like this?

00:39:12Look, if I never see you again...

00:39:13It'll be too soon.

00:39:15Why don't you forget that guy?

00:39:16You know, I used to be a big shot myself before I got into this man's army.

00:39:19Oh, really?

00:39:20How interesting.

00:39:21And, uh, what did you do, Mr. Pettit?

00:39:24Well, don't you ever listen to the radio?

00:39:26Certainly.

00:39:28Oh, you were Harry James' vocalist.

00:39:30Harry James' vocalist.

00:39:31I was a featured singer.

00:39:33I had my own program on the air.

00:39:35Oh, well, I'm afraid that all crew and it sound alike to me.

00:39:37I don't crew.

00:39:38I don't crew.

00:39:54Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

00:40:00Glory, hallelujah.

00:40:23Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down.

00:40:30Oh, yes, Lord.

00:40:34Sometimes I'm almost to the ground.

00:40:40Oh, yes, Lord.

00:40:45Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

00:40:53Nobody knows my world.

00:41:02Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

00:41:08Oh, yes, Lord.

00:41:38I'll forget the day.

00:41:42Oh, yes, Lord.

00:41:47When all my sins were washed away.

00:41:54Oh, yes, Lord.

00:42:00Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

00:42:08Nobody knows my world.

00:42:16Nobody knows my world.

00:42:18Nobody knows nobody knows my world.

00:42:30Nobody knows my world.

00:42:33Whoever knows my world.

00:43:18Many minutes ago, I asked you for a drink of water.

00:43:24Let him go.

00:43:25Why don't you go?

00:43:28I'm your financier, ain't I?

00:43:34Will you buy me a same stamp for a quarter?

00:43:36Well, I...

00:43:38Bonnie Bell, I'm gonna get you that water.

00:43:45Bonnie Bell, I had a dream about you last night.

00:43:48How thoughtful of you.

00:43:50I dreamt I put my arms around your waist.

00:43:53And on your lips, I've placed a kiss.

00:43:56I've sipped for many a cup.

00:43:58But never a mug like this.

00:44:01That's beautiful.

00:44:05For me?

00:44:06May I?

00:44:07Oh, please do.

00:44:09Has that got that bomb about the dreadnoughtness straightest?

00:44:12Huh?

00:44:13Has it got that bomb about the dreadnoughtness straightest?

00:44:15Okay.

00:44:16Okay, kid.

00:44:17Isn't it long past your bedtime?

00:44:28Don't you want to go out and play?

00:44:31Don't you want some ice cream?

00:44:33What do you want?

00:44:36I want a rock.

00:44:45Here's your water, Bonnie Bell.

00:44:47Come on, sweetheart.

00:44:48Come on.

00:44:49Thanks, pal.

00:44:57Was it refreshing, Bonnie Bell?

00:45:01The ring.

00:45:01Did you get it?

00:45:03Him!

00:45:04Why, you snake in the grass?

00:45:06After I sold you the pawn ticket, you turned him...

00:45:08You what?

00:45:09Oh!

00:45:10Bonnie Bell.

00:45:11I'll tell you how it happened.

00:45:12I was walking down the street, and I...

00:45:13I bumped into him...

00:45:15See what you had to go to Wiggins, do you?

00:45:17Don't tell me I, I.

00:45:18I asked you faithfully, not to say I would have...

00:45:20Sergeant Snable!

00:45:23Yes, Bonnie Bell?

00:45:24You see, she's sorry.

00:45:25Oh, my God.

00:45:35That was called the quarters line.

00:45:40Yeah, I know it.

00:45:42You want to walk back to camp with me?

00:45:44No, you go ahead, kid.

00:45:45I'll see you later.

00:45:49Hello.

00:45:49Nice night, isn't it?

00:45:51You're going to miss Taps.

00:45:52So what?

00:45:53Tell him to sue me.

00:45:54That was called for quarters.

00:45:55You're supposed to turn in.

00:45:56Not on a night like this.

00:45:58Quite a moon, isn't it?

00:45:59You'd better head for camp, soldier.

00:46:01You're just looking for trouble.

00:46:02Not me.

00:46:03I'm a privileged character.

00:46:04Haven't you heard?

00:46:04How nice.

00:46:06Yes, sir.

00:46:07Nice moon.

00:46:08You said that.

00:46:08Say, Joyce, you don't mind if I call you Joyce, do you?

00:46:11No, I don't mind.

00:46:12Good.

00:46:13Let's sit down.

00:46:20I repeat.

00:46:21Mighty pretty moon.

00:46:23You know, you could be nice if you have tried.

00:46:25I am nice.

00:46:26You just don't appreciate me, that's all.

00:46:28Mom, doesn't it make any difference to you

00:46:30that you're the most unpopular man in camp?

00:46:32All I care about is how I stand with you.

00:46:34You don't care if your own buddies think you're a heel.

00:46:36Is that it?

00:46:37I'm only interested in one thing.

00:46:39How I stack up with Lieutenant Howard Mason.

00:46:42For your private information, Lon Prentice,

00:46:45I think you're a selfish, stubborn, conceited idiot.

00:46:48You are in love with that guy.

00:46:50Why shouldn't I be?

00:46:52Why should you be?

00:46:53Because he happens to be my brother.

00:46:55Your brother?

00:46:56I thought your name was Weatherford.

00:46:57My uncle's name is Weatherford.

00:46:59Good night, Mr. Prentice.

00:47:04Brother, huh?

00:47:05Not a bad guy.

00:47:06Think I'm going to like Lieutenant Mason.

00:47:08Hey, Lon.

00:47:29You're not getting up.

00:47:31Sure.

00:47:31Well, it was first call, not this call.

00:47:33I know, and I've got to get out with the fellas.

00:47:35How do you like that?

00:47:36You know, I'll learn to play this doogle before I leave here

00:47:38if it's the last thing I do.

00:47:39I'm afraid that's going to be impossible before you leave here.

00:47:42Yeah, what makes you think so?

00:47:43I heard a rumor that this Alfred's taking a boat.

00:47:47When?

00:47:48Very soon.

00:47:49All in!

00:47:51Come on, snap into her there.

00:47:53Dress up, dress up there.

00:47:56Come on now, will ya?

00:47:58Ten-tion!

00:48:00Answer the roll call.

00:48:01Right shoulder.

00:48:02Arms!

00:48:05Allen!

00:48:06Here!

00:48:06Irwin!

00:48:07Here!

00:48:07Lola!

00:48:07Here!

00:48:08Prentice!

00:48:08Here!

00:48:09Get in line!

00:48:14Get in there!

00:48:15All drills and details for this company suspended for today.

00:48:18All leaves cancel and men can find a camp.

00:48:21Roll packs and be prepared for inspection at any time.

00:48:24Company!

00:48:25Dismissed!

00:48:31Sounds like it.

00:48:32Yeah, there's something in the air.

00:48:34Anemic told me he heard of the headquarters.

00:48:35Yeah?

00:48:36Oh boy, no details today.

00:48:39All right, McAllister, once more.

00:48:50Hold on to the piece this time and do it like you mean it.

00:48:53Make believe he's your worst enemy.

00:48:55Try and think of somebody you hate.

00:48:58Think of somebody you hate.

00:49:00Come on now, try it again.

00:49:05Well, that's great.

00:49:07In fact, that's wonderful.

00:49:08Who are you thinking of?

00:49:10You and that bugling.

00:49:14Hey, Sarge, you mind if I try that?

00:49:16No, not at all.

00:49:17Go right ahead.

00:49:19Try to think of somebody you can hate.

00:49:21That's easy.

00:49:27And who are you thinking about, soldier?

00:49:29Dope named Prentice.

00:49:31All right, gang, come on, cut out the lethargy.

00:49:40Hello, Sarge, you looking for me?

00:49:41Yeah, I wanted you to get your things together.

00:49:43Oh, I'll be ready as soon as the rest of them are.

00:49:45When you get your things packed, report to Major Evans the adjutant.

00:49:47You've been transferred to camp headquarters.

00:49:51Transferred?

00:49:52Well, camp headquarters are permanent detail.

00:49:55Say, what is this?

00:49:56I want to be with the gang.

00:49:59That's one special privilege you won't get.

00:50:02Lieutenant.

00:50:03Hiya, big shot.

00:50:04They transferred me to headquarters.

00:50:06Well, you should like that.

00:50:07No fall in and fall out.

00:50:08And they don't have time to practice.

00:50:09I'm serious, Joyce.

00:50:10Lieutenant, you've got to help me.

00:50:11I've got to go with the boys.

00:50:12They don't need me, but I need them.

00:50:14I'll do anything.

00:50:14I think you're a little late, Francis, but I'll do what I can.

00:50:17Thank you, sir.

00:50:18I've got to report to Major Evans.

00:50:24Tagalong, come here.

00:50:31Get in.

00:50:38I told you what you'd get if you came over here, didn't I?

00:50:40Deep in the heart of Texas.

00:50:48I know it's my fault.

00:50:49I asked for it.

00:50:50All I want is a chance to prove I'm not such a heel.

00:50:53You really want to be a soldier, don't you?

00:50:55Yes, sir.

00:50:56One of the first things a soldier learns is to take orders, whether he thinks the orders are right or wrong.

00:51:01I'll take orders, sir.

00:51:02You must learn to respect the judgment of your officers.

00:51:06Yes, sir.

00:51:06In this case, your superior officers feel that until you're properly trained, your place is here and not at the front.

00:51:14We're not thinking of you, Prentice.

00:51:16We're thinking of the men alongside of you.

00:51:18Do I make myself clear?

00:51:20Yes, sir.

00:51:21Thank you, sir.

00:51:26Hey, Harry, what about the show tonight?

00:51:27Tonight?

00:51:28Why haven't you heard?

00:51:28We're putting it on this afternoon.

00:51:30The way these rumors are flying around, we may not even be here then.

00:51:32Shh.

00:51:33Serve in silence.
