01:47Ralph, how are you?
01:48See, this is fabulous.
02:03And the sun is green, honestly.
02:06What a different thing.
02:12Well, I guess I'll drift down to the old sugar bowl
02:14and scare up the old gang.
02:16Okay?
02:17Okay.
02:22Hey, gang!
02:24Old Ralphie's back!
02:35Sheesh.
02:36Old Ralphie.
02:38Old Ralphie.
02:39Old Ralphie.
02:42Old Ralphie.
02:44Hello, Maisie?
02:58Mommy, a man wants to go with you.
03:03Hello, Hazel?
03:05What?
03:08Hello, Jeanette?
03:09I'm Mary Hackett.
03:10Married?
03:11I'm Mary.
03:12Hi, Barbara.
03:13I'm going out with your mother-in-law.
03:16Linda?
03:17Grandma?
03:17Hello, Betty?
03:18No.
03:19Marge?
03:20Husband?
03:21What's wrong, anyway?
03:23Everybody, everything seems different.
03:27I wonder what my old GI buddies are doing.
03:32I wonder if I ought to re-enle...
03:35Don't say it!
03:36Don't even think it!
03:38You're too smart around people.
03:39Got a light.
03:40And besides, I'm here to help you.
03:45You ain't got no more troubles.
03:47Here, hold this.
03:48Now, I just happen to have here...
03:50Now then, let's get some sense into that boyish head of yours.
04:04Now, uh, first thing you gotta do is...
04:06Look, Ralphie, ignore this joker.
04:26He's in the pay of you-know-who.
04:28Here, give me a drag off that thing.
04:29All we want is a fax, ma'am.
04:34Fax, eh?
04:35I'll fax you, buster.
04:38This is what the average civilian in your age bracket earns a month.
04:42You may fire when ready, grizzly.
04:51Need I say more?
04:52That's over a hundred bucks difference.
04:54Plus family allowances, of course, and automatic raises, and foreign service pay, and promotions.
05:19Sure, sure, but, uh, look what you gotta do for all that dough.
05:22Swash around in the mud all day.
05:24And you can pick your career before you re-enlist.
05:35Re-enlist?
05:36Are you nuts?
05:37We ain't re-enlisting in nothing.
05:39We, uh, we don't want to look like no toy soldier.
05:41Look at these civilian clothes.
05:44Sharp, eh?
05:45Yeah, yeah, like I say.
05:52Eh, but we're gonna, we're gonna work our way through school nights.
05:56Study up.
05:57Be a big shot.
05:57While in service, of course.
06:06Don't be taken in, kid.
06:08We'll get ourselves a good job.
06:10Two weeks vacation every year at good old Lake Morsi Log.
06:13In the army, that is.
06:23So what?
06:24Who wants to live in a barracks on your life?
06:30Stick with me, kid.
06:31We'll live in luxury.
06:32Uh, government-insured, of course.
06:40Okay, wise guy.
06:41Uh, retirement.
06:42In the army.
06:59Or.
07:03Don't listen to them.
07:05We'll strike uranium in your backyard.
07:07We can invent something.
07:08It's dehydrated water.
07:10Just add water.
07:12And with that fat bonus, too.
07:19Holy cow!
07:21Come on, hurry up!
07:23We'll inherit Fort Knox!
07:24We'll strike!
07:26We'll invent the wheel!
07:29Come on, hurry up!
