and a half? Yeah. Don't you think it's about time you got smart? You know what you did just now, turning down Dynamite Holmes? You put your head in the noose. Things are soft for a boxer in this outfit. Otherwise, you better know how to soldier. l can soldier with any man. This place is getting to be like the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. -Who's that? -She's Captain Holmes' wife. You'll fight, Prewitt, because Captain Holmes wants to be Major Holmes. He's got an idea he'll make it if he gets a winning team. lf you don't do it for him, do it for me. 'Cause my job is to keep him happy, see? More he's happy, the less he bothers me, and the better l run this company. So, we know where we stand, don't we, kid? l know where l stand. A man don't go his own way he's nothing. Maybe back in the days of the pioneers a man could go his own way. But today, you got to play ball. Leva! Can't l once find you in the supply room working with both hands? l can't do no better on what you people pay me. Draw this man some supplies. G Company squad room is on the top floor. Take your bags then come here. Leva will help you lug your stuff upstairs. Save you making four or five trips. Thanks. l just hate to see energy wasted. Besides, you'll be needing yours. Looks like a good man. l know his type. He's a hardhead. Her and them sweaters. l'll bet she's colder than an iceberg. Not her, Top. She knows the score. Like l been telling you. ls that right? Not around here, but when l soldiered at Fort Bliss, l heard plenty about this lady. -You did? -Okay, not me. But l know some of the guys she played around with, so don't tell me. l'm not telling you. You're telling me. -Good morning, Sergeant. -'Morning, ma'am. l'm looking for my husband. Captain Holmes just went into town. On business. He was to have left some things for me. Do you know about them? No, l don't, ma'am. Anything l can do for you? No, thanks. l'd be glad to help, ma'am. My husband's been telling me a lot about you, Sergeant. He says you're very efficient. Yes, ma'am. What is it that makes you so efficient, Sergeant? l was born smart, ma'am. l love that. Well, good-bye, Sergeant. Man, she sure is one, ain't she? One what? One woman. l've seen better. Karen? -Sorry l'm late. -lt doesn't matter. l got tied up with General Slater. l bumped into him in the Officers' Club. Yeah? What did the General have to say? Success, he said. Success in war, success in peacetime. Not a word about my promotion. Sometimes l think the old man's just waiting to ship me down. Less time buttering generals and more with your company... -...maybe you'd get that promotion. -The company takes care of itself. l went over there today looking for you. l had some business to attend to at Kaneohe. That was all right, wasn't it? Of course. l've no right to inquire into your actions. That was our agreement. Then why bring it up? Because l wanted you to know l'm not as stupid as you maintain all women are. Now, just what does that mean? What are you accusing me of now? Of nothing. lt's no longer my business how many women you go out with. But l wish you could just be honest about it once. No reason l should try to hide anything, is there... ...the way things are between us now? What right have you to always be accusing me? What right? Are you going back to that again? How long will it be, l wonder, before l'm allowed to live that down? How many times must l say it was an accident? Please, Dana. l'm going to bed. Please get out of my bedroom. Captain Holmes says you don't want to come out and fight for us. That's right. We thought we'd buy you a beer and talk it over. We're the company boxers. l figured. What l wouldn't give to have this guy in a corner poolroom in my hometown! lf you box as good as you used to, we'd be a cinch this year.
