00:03:28I'll be here.
00:03:51Ain't you got any baloney?
00:03:54Any of the boardin' housekeepers, if you ever learn to eat sittin' down?
00:04:17Oh, we got a hustler with Ryan.
00:04:21Hello, man. Where's your boyfriend?
00:04:24I got some big news for him.
00:04:25I haven't seen him.
00:04:27Hey, if he gets lonesome, you might get me the once-over.
00:04:31I use people like you to move my piano.
00:04:34Well, ever try out a good piano mover?
00:04:39You got a nerve.
00:04:41Gee, Mame, you sure do make the old pump stutter when you look at a guy like that.
00:04:48One more crack and I'll tell Sturkey you're on the make for me.
00:04:50He'll carve the stutter out of that pump of yours and never dull his knife.
00:04:54Listen, Mame, don't get sore.
00:04:57At you?
00:04:59Huh.
00:04:59Don't flatter yourself, Broadback.
00:05:01You don't stick in my mind long enough for me to get sore at you.
00:05:17You're crazy about you, ain't she?
00:05:18I should cry in my beard.
00:05:20Cry in your beard or laugh in your soup, I'm telling you.
00:05:23You don't stop turning red around the collar about Sturkey's mouth.
00:05:27Ah, shut up.
00:05:28I won't shut up.
00:05:29I'm telling you.
00:05:31Hiya, boys.
00:05:33Hey, that's my skimmer.
00:05:34Yeah.
00:05:35Hey, what's the big idea?
00:05:37Clam yourself, gentlemen.
00:05:39Just as soon as this 10-ton truck gets a shot of Greece in his deferential,
00:05:43he's got a big word to say.
00:05:45Hey, boys.
00:05:46You bet.
00:05:47And doped it all out myself, too.
00:05:50Show you guys I can think as straight as I can shoot.
00:05:53I'm thinking.
00:05:55It's Gray's Jewelry Store.
00:05:56There'll be another parade by that Wednesday,
00:05:58and when one of them bands get into the same block the store is in,
00:06:02look what the draft flew in.
00:06:04He's going to be a soldier, my soldier.
00:06:08Bad chance they're going to wrap in one of them burlap sacks around me.
00:06:12It says here that he's to report to Camp Fleming Wednesday,
00:06:16three weeks ago.
00:06:18I see.
00:06:19You're a soldier and don't know it.
00:06:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:06:22Ah, rat.
00:06:23Now listen.
00:06:25He will breathe into the joint with a van afterbuilt pugs on.
00:06:28Get him, sir.
00:06:29A hard help telling them what you'll do.
00:06:33Hi, Siv.
00:06:35I...
00:06:35I was just telling the boys about a job I figured out.
00:06:38I heard you.
00:06:39Oh, it's a great chance, Siv.
00:06:41Let me tell you.
00:06:42Look.
00:06:42You stick to your gun.
00:06:44I'll do the telling.
00:06:46Oh, Siv.
00:06:47Let me show you.
00:06:48This is a pipe we can't miss.
00:06:50Now here's the way I get the...
00:06:52Dougie.
00:06:52You were with him.
00:06:54What's the layout on this thing?
00:06:56Oh, you see, Siv.
00:06:57It's just like, just like Blake was telling you.
00:07:01Hey.
00:07:03Before you start telling Siv Sturkey how to run this mob,
00:07:07you'd better figure out a way to beat the draft.
00:07:09Yeah.
00:07:10Well, any time you see me in the army,
00:07:12there'll be green grass right up the middle of Broadway.
00:07:21Do you know a man by the name of Blake Greeson?
00:07:24Greeson?
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:27I don't know nobody about that name.
00:07:28I understand he hangs around here.
00:07:31Never heard of him.
00:07:43Hello, Blake.
00:07:46How are you?
00:07:46Have a drink.
00:07:48What's going to be?
00:07:49A good shot of whiskey the way I feel.
00:07:58Is your name Greeson?
00:08:01I suppose it is.
00:08:03Is there any meat off of your table?
00:08:06You're due to report to Camp Fleming three weeks ago.
00:08:12Oh, so you're a stool for them army guys.
00:08:16You're on arrest, big boy.
00:08:19Says you.
00:08:23Oh, look who.
00:08:23Look who says what
00:08:49Look who says what.
00:08:53He's got a gun kicked!
00:08:56Easy now.
00:08:57You're going to have plenty of chance to get tough where you're going.
00:09:00Leave all that fight in France, fellas.
00:09:02You'll need it over there.
00:09:03Come on, men.
00:09:23You're going to have plenty more.
00:09:24All right.
00:09:26Fill it!
00:09:27Fill it!
00:09:36Fill it!
00:09:38Fill it!
00:09:41Fill it!
00:10:08Well, welcome to our city.
00:10:11Man and boy, that ain't some wild, rip-roaring,
00:10:15but it's a big floating morning out there, huh?
00:10:17Take some water milk instead of cognac.
00:10:19Hey, speaking of cognac,
00:10:21you got anything useful in your canteen?
00:10:22Water.
00:10:23I don't want to wash my socks.
00:10:25I'm thirsty.
00:10:30Hey, what kept you guys?
00:10:32Meet somebody back there?
00:10:33That baby snuck right up and yelled in my ear.
00:10:37Hey, why was you going in such a hurry back there, Sarge?
00:10:40We're going again in a minute, sucker.
00:10:42As soon as this barrage lets down.
00:10:44Get your best guy.
00:10:45It's a long war.
00:10:52Hey, look at some German planes up there, will ya?
00:10:55Wait, did ya?
00:10:56That's like me moving around here to lay a knife in your eyes.
00:10:59Yeah, that egg will do something worse than smell bad when it breaks news.
00:11:03Hey, give me a cigarette.
00:11:04Give it.
00:11:05Ah, gimme, gimme, gimme.
00:11:07Hope you get tobacco hard smoking.
00:11:10Oh, I'm cold.
00:11:11There ya, cold.
00:11:12Last night you were hungry.
00:11:14This morning you had the bellyache.
00:11:15You're going to be able to stand something in this man's war.
00:11:18Hey, what happened to Lieutenant Paddock?
00:11:21Anybody see him after we hopped off?
00:11:23Nobody saw him unless they looked back.
00:11:25He talks the great war, that loot.
00:11:27Ah, he ain't a bad kid at that.
00:11:29He may be a good kid, but he's a rotten officer.
00:11:32He's got a yellow streak up his back he could parade a company on.
00:11:36I don't think he's yellow.
00:11:37He's just nervous.
00:11:38Yeah?
00:11:39Well, what color is nervous?
00:11:45Hey, Lieutenant.
00:11:47Where is it?
00:11:47Let's have a look.
00:11:49I'm all right.
00:11:50I just got a breath.
00:11:53Yeah.
00:11:54The breath ain't all you're out of.
00:11:58You were splendid, Greece.
00:12:03That's because I remembered all that talk you told me about, uh,
00:12:07making the world safe for the Democrats.
00:12:10A lot of help it wants to me.
00:12:12Lieutenant.
00:12:13Lieutenant Ains.
00:12:15He was wrong to bits.
00:12:17Right in front of me, he was...
00:12:19Yeah, that's the worst of these wars.
00:12:22You ballyhoo them and nurse them along,
00:12:24and then they go up and fight you.
00:12:26Oh, cut it out.
00:12:29What do you think we bust along the city?
00:12:30Huh?
00:12:33All right, then.
00:12:34Let's...
00:12:35Let's take a stretch, all right?
00:12:36Look out there.
00:12:38I hate to ask you, boys.
00:12:39But it's got to be done.
00:12:41All right, boys.
00:12:46Oh, kid, you can make it.
00:12:48I don't know what's the matter with me.
00:12:49What's the matter with you?
00:12:50You are rather trying to be a bulldog because you think you ought to.
00:12:53Watch my heels and copy them.
00:12:57Who says we ain't white fools looked down by the gasworks?
00:13:01Huh!
00:13:02Huh!
00:13:03And a baby!
00:13:04Whatever's like it!
00:13:10Oh!
00:13:28What's the matter with you?
00:13:32That's what we're doing.
00:13:34I love you.
00:13:35The captain's left, he loved his watch when he took a nap.
00:13:40Dinky dinky, party boo.
00:14:00Any of you guys here who won the war?
00:14:03The M.T.s, they won the war.
00:14:05What out, bitch, soldier?
00:14:07A fightin' out, bitch, chap.
00:14:09Glad you saw us.
00:14:10We wouldn't know if I'm lookin' at ya.
00:14:14A mademoiselle from Armistere, parley boo.
00:14:18A mademoiselle from Armistere, parley boo.
00:14:22She kissed the colonel and hugged the men,
00:14:24and then she did it right over again.
00:14:26Dinky dinky, parley boo.
00:14:30A mademoiselle from Armistere, parley boo.
00:14:34A mademoiselle from Armistere, parley boo.
00:14:38She kissed the major with war be night,
00:14:40and gave him the gate, cause he couldn't fight.
00:14:42Dinky dinky, parley boo.
00:14:45Leave that voice to cheer with when Greeson gets back.
00:14:48Captain Greeson, soldier.
00:14:50That slick-fingered wolf.
00:14:52Yeah, maybe so.
00:14:53Anyhow, he's a captain and he's off getting decorated again.
00:14:56Can you imagine?
00:14:57How many's he got now?
00:14:58He's got the Croy de Guerre, DSC, recommended for the Congressional Medal, and now this thing.
00:15:03I can understand it if he'd won him in a crap game.
00:15:06He could sure do algebra with them high school dice of his.
00:15:10I don't think he's crooked.
00:15:12I wonder what that guy did for a living before the war.
00:15:15On your feet, soldier.
00:15:16I think he's coming.
00:15:18Would you look what's come to town?
00:15:20It's him.
00:15:21Yeah, with the Major General.
00:15:33It's a rare pleasure, Captain, to see such embarrassment as yours properly rewarded.
00:15:37Thank you, sir.
00:15:38Again, my congratulations.
00:15:40Thank you for being there, sir.
00:15:42Also, for giving me the lift, sir.
00:15:43The honor was mine, again.
00:15:45Congratulations.
00:15:58You dumb-heeled grinders, get a load of that.
00:16:01A Major General, too.
00:16:03Yeah, I bet he gets a surprise when he goes to look for his watch.
00:16:06I doubt if you know who you're talking to, boy.
00:16:08That's the top piece of tinware in the whole French Army.
00:16:11I bet you don't have a fistful of Franks, eh?
00:16:13You find anybody that's got a fistful of Franks that wants these tobacco tags, shoo him my way.
00:16:18I guess he's a great man.
00:16:27I bet you've got it.
00:16:30I bet you've got it.
00:16:31I bet you've got it.
00:16:36Yeah, to me.
00:17:10You don't like my line, do you?
00:17:14Pretty little tin gadget, isn't it?
00:17:16Captain Grayson.
00:17:17Grayson's okay with me, kid. Forget that Captain stuff.
00:17:21What ails you anyway?
00:17:23Come on, get it off your chest.
00:17:25You know what ails me.
00:17:27You think I'm yellow. I can see it in your eyes every time I look at you.
00:17:31And yet, if it hadn't been for you, I couldn't have gone through it all.
00:17:35I borrowed from your courage and managed to get along somehow.
00:17:39It's unfair, I tell you.
00:17:43What do you mean?
00:17:45I'd give anything in my life,
00:17:48if I could make myself do the things that you did,
00:17:51to get that decoration.
00:17:53What would you do with it if you did have it?
00:17:55Eat it?
00:17:56What sort of a man are you anyway?
00:17:58You don't seem to care about a thing in the world.
00:18:01Your country, your flag, your family.
00:18:03No family yet.
00:18:05No, no country either.
00:18:07No heart, no feelings.
00:18:09You sneered at all the things I believe in.
00:18:12But you can fight for them and I...
00:18:15I can't, I can't.
00:18:40You think I'm a great guy, you poor boob.
00:18:45I told you the kind of a bird I am.
00:18:49I'm a gunman, sucker.
00:18:51That's why they give me all these silly doodads.
00:18:54That's a lie and you know it.
00:18:57You say I ain't got a country.
00:19:00Sure I have, but it gives me a laugh.
00:19:03Now, do you still want to be like me?
00:19:06I'd rather be dead than think the things you think.
00:19:10Then I'd be willing to give my life to do the things that you can do.
00:19:16If these ideas you talk about were any good,
00:19:19wouldn't they make you do the things you want to do?
00:19:21Answer me that.
00:19:22I will do them, I'll show you.
00:19:23No, you won't.
00:19:25You won't because you're soft and yellow.
00:19:29Gunmen, that's what they want over here.
00:19:31You haven't got the guts.
00:19:33And all this talk about country and beauty won't give them to you.
00:19:37You're a rotten liar.
00:20:25You're no longer going.
00:20:26Well, you've reached the chair.
00:20:27Take where you're hadi and your lad,
00:20:28We're now on average foot��.
00:20:31No, no, no.
00:20:34The question of the standard,
00:20:36and blowing men to bits by platoon and you'll go along on your yellow belly and duck and dodge in
00:20:42a shell hole the way you always did i'll show you you you dirty gutter rat that's me i'm a
00:20:51dirty gutter
00:20:52rat you're one of them strong singing patriots that wants to die for his country and can't
00:21:35die okay
00:21:44The End
00:22:16The End
00:22:42The End
00:23:11The End
00:23:11Did they get you, buddy?
00:23:12You keep your hands off me.
00:23:13You said I couldn't do what I did, didn't I?
00:23:15I showed you.
00:23:16I showed them all.
00:23:17You said I couldn't.
00:23:18You're a liar.
00:23:19You're ready now.
00:23:20You're all right, buddy.
00:23:22Oh, no.
00:23:24No, I'm not.
00:23:26I know.
00:23:29It's all right.
00:23:31I'm not ashamed anymore.
00:23:35They won't be ashamed either, Greeson.
00:23:38My people.
00:23:41They won't be ashamed now.
00:23:43Will they, Greeson?
00:23:45They'll be the proudest folks in all this world when you get back home.
00:23:49You, you don't have to lie to me anymore.
00:23:53I'm not going home.
00:23:57But I'm not, I'm not scared now.
00:24:01I made good.
00:24:04And I'll never be afraid again.
00:24:11You made good when you came over here, Sonny.
00:24:14You fought when you were afraid.
00:24:17But where do you suppose I'd have been if I'd been as frightened as you?
00:24:20Why, I'd have run like a fool.
00:24:23You've got more real guts in a minute than I'll ever have the rest of my life.
00:24:29It's great to hear you say that, Greeson.
00:24:32When you told me I was yellow, I, I...
00:24:36Oh, what are you talking about?
00:24:39You wanted to go through and...
00:24:41Well, I was just trying to buck you up to it.
00:24:46When you get home, will you tell my friend?
00:24:50If I get home, I'll do it, kid.
00:24:52That's a promise.
00:24:55Tell me again that I made good.
00:24:59I'd rather hear you say that than...
00:25:06Nobody in all this man's army made good any more than you did, kid.
00:25:12You're a man, Jerry.
00:25:15A fighting fool from down by the gasworks.
00:25:19If ever there was one.
00:25:22die with fire.
00:25:42We're all rats.
00:25:45What?
00:25:45We all have a squad.
00:25:45We all need to be ready.
00:25:46We all need to be my
00:25:48fans and –
00:25:49We all need to be even,
00:25:51You're a man, there's you.
00:25:51You're a man!
