:40:00
We will find it.
:40:01
This guy we're going after's
been feeding off the khaki tit for years.
:40:05
He's a master sergeant.
His name is Ernie Bilko. Get him!
:40:12
- Forget it, Bilko.
- But, sir, the moment my boys heard...
:40:15
...about the desert manoeuvre,
they volunteered.
:40:18
We still haven't got over
being left out of Desert Storm.
:40:21
How the orders got crisscrossed,
I'll never know.
:40:23
But if we could go on these manoeuvres,
it would make up, in some small way...
:40:27
You must think I'm a nincompoop.
:40:29
A nincompoop? An NCP?
On the contrary, sir.
:40:32
- I think you're one of the finest...
- Las Vegas.
:40:34
- What, sir?
- The desert manoeuvre will take place...
:40:37
...15 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada.
:40:39
Really? I had no idea. Won't that be fun?
:40:42
- Lake Mead, Hoover Dam.
- Forget it. You've got bigger problems.
:40:46
Two hatchet men -
excuse me, hatchet persons -
:40:50
...from the Inspector General's Office
came to audit the motor pool accounts.
:40:54
- I wonder who tipped them off?
- Yes, I wonder.
:40:58
(woman) Fort Baxter. How may I
direct your call? Motor pool?
:41:01
Listen, Bilko, I might tell you this whole
post is skating on thin ice with hot blades.
:41:06
Don't let them find anything.
:41:08
- Is the colonel suggesting a cover-up?
- A cover-up?
:41:11
Why, no. Is there... anything to cover up?
:41:15
No... sir.
:41:18
Good. Then I'm not suggesting one.
:41:21
Just do... whatever it is you do
to make these things go away.
:41:28
I can't help myself
:41:31
Bad habits
:41:34
I'm runnin' wild
:41:36
Lost control
:41:40
Well, I must confess
:41:43
Cos I can't repress
:41:46
In the last two months you
billed the army for 72 windshields?
:41:50
That was a mistake.
One of my men, Private Buttersworth...
:41:53
...had a hairline crack in his glasses.
:41:55
- A crack?
- Yes, a hairline crack.
:41:57
So to him, it looked like
all the windshields were broken.
