Short filmTranscript
00:00He's the military hero of the nation, though he doesn't always follow regulations.
00:28At the sound of revelry, he is here for you to see, and we know you'll laugh with Private Beetle Bailey, Beetle Bailey.
00:37Ask the General, Colonel, Major, and the Captain, the Lieutenant, and the Sergeant, and the Corporal.
00:43They will tell you with a shout, they would gladly live without a certain private by the name of Beetle Bailey, Beetle Bailey.
00:51Beetle Bailey!
00:53Nice ducky-wucky, eat'em caviar sandwiches?
00:58Wah, wah, wah.
01:02Private Zero, sir, intelligence.
01:05Senator Trombone is coming to make a surprise inspection tour of the camp and report to Congress.
01:13He says he's due any minute.
01:15Well, he won't catch us with our tanks down.
01:17I want this camp cleaned up and ship-shape immediately.
01:24Is that clear?
01:25Aye, aye, sir.
01:27I mean, yes, sir.
01:32You know, Bailey,
01:33this is just about the best spaghetti I ever made.
01:37Hey, cut that out, Cookie.
01:41You're chewing up the mop.
01:44Please, just one more bite.
01:46I want to remember that sauce.
01:50What's going on here?
01:55Peek-a-boo.
01:57Old General, sir.
01:59Peek-a-boo to you, you boob.
02:02Oh, how nice, General.
02:06You brung us a present.
02:10Oh, don't you dare harm my ducky-wucky.
02:14I'll have you caught, Marshal.
02:16Now I want you to prepare something extra special for Senator Trombone.
02:23What do you have?
02:24Well, we got fried hash.
02:26Negative, bashed hash.
02:28Negative. Creamed-chipped hash. Blech.
02:33No, you idiot. Something special. I wish I knew the senator's favorite dish.
02:39Sir, Private Zero Intelligence.
02:42He likes roast duck with duck dumplings and duck and gravy and duck soup.
02:49For dessert, duck-flavored ice cream with duck sauce.
02:54Blech. Good work, lad. Remind me to decorate you for that.
02:58Now all we have to do is find a duck.
03:05There must be a duck in the deep freeze.
03:08No, sir. Just a duck egg.
03:11Very good. Perfect.
03:14Bailey, I want you to sit on that egg and hatch it.
03:18You got 15 minutes. That's a direct order, Bailey.
03:22But, sir, I can't do that.
03:25You don't ever say can't, Bailey. This is the United States Army.
03:31But, sir, it won't work, General.
03:35Why not? That's nature's way, isn't it? I know about nature's way.
03:39Well, it's a hot-boiled egg, General.
03:42I'd order a duck flown in, sir, but it'll never get here in time.
03:46You mean...
03:46Yes, sir.
03:48I got but one duck to give for my country.
03:52Ah-ha.
03:53Stop! All everything.
03:55Look, General.
03:58Oh, boy.
03:59What?
04:00Little gunnery practice, General?
04:02Good boy. Get out there and give them heck.
04:05The senator's copter will be here any minute.
04:08It's... It's anti-aircraft fire, son of a...
04:23That's just fine.
04:25Like the shade that I'll boil you at the ready.
04:33Yippee! I got one.
04:34Bailey, you idiot.
04:40You have shot down the senator.
04:46Yippee-da-doo-dee-da.
04:50Hello there.
04:52You're welcome, Senator Trombonee.
04:55Glad to meet you, General.
04:56Yeah.
04:57Ah, you got a real firm handshake, my boy.
05:00I like that, General.
05:01Now, who shot down that heliocopter?
05:05No, no. He did it. He did it.
05:07I didn't did it. He did it.
05:09Well, give that boy a medal.
05:11Great shooting, son.
05:13I declare those heliocopters land to slow for me anyways.
05:17Now, let's get on with my inspection tour, General.
05:20First, let's see if your whack platoon is in shape.
05:23And hold on a minute, General.
05:25I forgot something.
05:27Here, boy.
05:28Cook this up for me in a hurry.
05:29It's my frozen duck dinner.
05:31Never travel without it.
05:33A whoop-a-doo-dee-didee-doo-dee.
05:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:38Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:01THE END
