I don't think you can do it.

What's everybody just sitting around for? Come on, drinks for everybody.

We've been supported here. Drinks.

Tequila. I'll have a lot more beer.

Don't bring me any more beer. Now you quit. I ain't going to quit.

A bottle of wine.

A vine extraordinaire.

Oh,

thank you.

I used to know him as the loving.

You should see me one night in Toledo.

I didn't want to go double on the wine with you, Kirby. Are you kidding? I

ain't going to press my luck.

Oh, here, take this.

And take some for yourself out there, too.

This is exactly the way I'll remember this whole stinking war to be the truth.

Everybody!

You guys take care of yourselves and leave, Kirby.

Kirby's name, William G. Kirby.

Kirby!

Keep moving.

Gentlemen, other side of the road.

Just pitchy.

We ought to get behind him, I guess.

Take five God radio

King

six,

this is king to over

King 6, this is King 2 over.

Hey, let me have a couple of aspirins, will you?

How many of those things are you going to take, Kirby?

Oh, don't hassle me with time like this, Doc. Just give me the aspirins, huh?

I'll be a regulation against sending a guy out on patrol after 24 hours pass.

I understand you had quite a time.

Ain't got a cigarette, have you?

You're broke, too, you know.

Oh, yes, my friend.

But it was worth it.

Kind of warms my old heart, just to think about it.

The cars aren't going to change.

That does it. You're too hot for me.

Oh, the pigeons are running.

It's like I want another one.

There's a seat open.

Doc?

Come on, forget it. It's so hot, I've got to get in that game. Come on, you

can't do it.

I'm four in a row. Do you mind if I look at him?

Kate, cancel him out at ten.

I'm broke.

You don't want to look.

He's lost.

All right, I'm in.

Will, John?

Nothing doing, Chris. Look, stick a bunch of pigeons to the cleaners over

there. I can close that game up in five minutes. Just give me something to work

with. Now, come on.

Herbie, if I had it, I wouldn't give it to you.

Pass.

Just wait till the next time you want to borrow my stolen kid.

Call your father.

And I'll raise you ten.

I'll bring a light.

Hey, T-Bone.

Riding home, are you?

Yeah.

I smoked one of mine.

Hey, thanks, good.

Kind of, boys. I'm a pain now.

Hey, kid.

You holding anything?

Huh?

I'm holding anything. You got any money for the game?

Yeah, I got some.

Let me have 20 and I'll double it for you in an hour.

How about it?

I don't know about that, Kirby.

Everybody gonna sit in?

Oh, come on, Chief. I gotta get in that game.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll split everything I make right down the

middle.

But if I lose, which ain't probable, I'll still owe you 20 bucks, and I'm

good for it. All right, okay.

Hey, you're a pal. I guess $20 ain't gonna make a lot of difference, huh?

Uh, listen, uh, when you like to make it 30, because I don't want them to think

I'm running cold or anything, I'll have a little something back me up, you know,

put some lid in my teeth. Come on.

All right.

See, you will not regret it. Mark my words, my friend. You and me, Rich,

we'll go after this. Yeah.

Okay, same game.

Ah, Buck Annie, huh?

Well, well, well.

You're blind.

Come on, Farley, deal him out. You're not playing with kids now.

Put the tea leaves on the table.

Hey, wait a minute. Come on, cut.

Cut your throat.

Buck, it's time.

Rick Jason.

And Vic Morrow.

Guest star, James Stacy.

Two pair, Kirby.

Surfacom B-set, don't it?

Kirby?

What do you say we raise the ante to five bucks?

Oh, six me.

Just win it or lose it a little quicker, that's all.

Three tens, Kirby.

Three little old ladies. No good for it. Come on, come on. Deal, will you, Kirby?

Just consulting with my banker, that's all. Come.

What time is it?

What? What time is it?

Three sevens.

Second best again, Farley.

I thought Farley was hot.

I don't know what I've had enough.

Kirby?

I'm betting your luck runs out.

What's that?

My marker.

Don't worry, it's good.

How... You're gonna wear out that pencil of yours, ain't you?

These things seem to be dominating the marketplace.

All right, break it up, fellas.

The dancers are leaving in a couple of minutes.

Sorry, gents. It never hurts to stop before we get bitter about it.

Partner, what's it come to?

Well, unless I count it wrong, Herbie, $1,600.

$1,600?

You kid, let me hold it. I never had that kind of money in my hands in my

life.

Oh, yeah.

How much of it's in those markers?

Eight hundred bucks.

Hey, uh, Farley?

What about your markers here? Looks like I'm running a laundry or something.

So? Well, so when are you going to make them good?

Now, if I had any dough, I wouldn't be giving you markers, would I?

Well, where are you trying to get it, Farley? Look, there's close to $800 in

this wallpaper. Now, when are you going to make it good?

Look, Kirby.

A money order for a thousand bucks.

As soon as I get to the finance officer, cash it, you'll get your dough.

Hey. Okay.

I guess a guy wouldn't carry that much money on him up here anyway, would he? I

guess not.

Hey, where are we going, Lieutenant?

Village, a couple of miles from here.

S2 thinks the Krauts may be using it for an artillery OP.

I could guess what our job is.

Saddle up.

Kirby.

Huh?

one of my cigarettes.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Keep the whole pack.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, Gage, how far is it to Paris?

You're a long way from Paris, Curly.

I want to be able to get someplace.

You know, gee, if we get the two of us together, we could buy a whole town or

something. Not me. I'm selling mine home.

Home, huh?

Yeah.

I got married just before I came over here, and I've been sending a little

home here and there to my wife.

I've been putting it on a gas station.

You know, so I'd have a little something going for me when I got out.

$800 on it. Good start, huh?

Paige, there should be a crossroads up ahead. Check it out.

Whitey, check the rear.

The rest of you, take five.

Hey, you know something?

I've been thinking.

I never had $800 of my own my whole life.

Neither have I.

It's the kind of money you could really do something with, you know?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

I don't mean blow it. I mean... It's a real stake.

It's a bankroll.

Look at the gentleman there.

Says he's gonna invest his in a gas station.

One guy, after this lousy war's over, he can go back to something.

Yeah, but Kirby, I just can't see you pumping gas.

No, but...

I got this uncle at the... There's a bowling alley and... I don't know, it's

kind of a dump right now, but... You take a few hundred dollars worth of

paint and... Get one of them signs, you know, one of them... Them neon colored

things.

See, I could go partners with him and... Send the money back and... Be a good

business there by the time I get back, it has something to go home to.

You know something that means something, you know, I think you really mean it

Do me

so

Doc, manage him up so we can move out.

Barley? You hit?

I caught my thumb reloading.

Hey, Kirby. Kirby.

I was just thinking, though.

If anything did happen to me, those markers you got.

It wouldn't be worth the paper they're written on, would it?

Hey, Lewis.

Take a look up ahead.

Well, I sure have been thinking about that money. Yeah, me too.

You know, I got a letter from my wife about a week ago.

We're gonna have a baby.

Hey, that's good news, G.

Yeah. Between that, trying to save enough money for that gas station, and

how many can there come in at a better time?

I guess not.

Something the matter?

Uh, no.

Nothing's the matter.

Gentlemen. The radio.

Gentlemen sure is a nice kid, huh?

I sure hope he gets his gas station.

Well, you never can tell.

War is a funny thing.

Here today, gone tomorrow.

You know what I mean? It's all a question of odds.

Me, I never plan ahead.

Like that money, for instance.

Today, I owe you a hundred bucks, right?

Tomorrow?

Who knows?

Tomorrow you'll still owe us a hundred bucks.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

You're a betting man, Kirby.

Look at the odds.

Suppose you get killed.

I mean, Jeterman gets all the money. And if he gets killed, you get the dough.

But what happens if I get killed?

I mean, you know, nobody gets anything.

You just kiss one bowling alley and one gas station goodbye.

Don't you think that's kind of funny?

Yeah, Farley, you really got some sense of humor. I'll hand you that.

Of course, S2 could be wrong about those krauts being in that village.

You really hate to pay off, don't you?

Oh, no, no, no. I just hope I get the chance.

Don't worry, you'll get the chance. I'll see to it.

That's what I like to hear, Kirby.

Roger. Out.

Doc, any walk?

Any news on whether the village is occupied or not, Lieutenant?

Looks clean.

If there's an OP, it'll probably be in that church.

It's going from the other side of town.

We better cover.

All right, we'll split up.

Kirby, take Farley and Cheetleman. Try to work up the other side of town.

We'll get to the church from this side.

Little John, take the radio.

We almost got enough for a poker game.

Pipe down, Farley.

Take me off the side of the street over there and we'll come in from here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Cover me, gentlemen.

What's the matter? Didn't you hear me calling you?

Over all that noise?

Why was your fire?

My gun jammed.

You really hustled over here when you thought old Farley got hit, didn't you?

Is it working now?

Yeah. All right, let's hear you use it.

Jailman's hit.

Come on.

Just take it easy, kid.

Help me get him back to Doc.

Hey,

Doc!

White Rook, this is King Two, over.

White Rook, this is King Two, over.

Objective not secured. Repeat, objective not secured. Enemy position stronger

than indicated.

You better send a call up here with a bazooka.

Send a stretcher team up. I've got a badly wounded man.

Over.

Out.

Little John, take the flank.

He's pretty bad.

Oh, it was real unfortunate, Lieutenant.

You see, my gun jammed and old Kirby came over to help me.

That left Giedemann all by himself.

By the time Kirby got back to him, Giedemann had been hit.

Anything?

I guess they're waiting for our next move, Lieutenant.

Well, that's too bad about Giedelman.

Like I said, you know, you just can't figure the odds.

I can't, Farley. If your gun hadn't jammed, you wouldn't be in this mess.

Oh, come on, Kirk.

You can con them, but don't con me.

Now, we both know why you came over to me.

It was the markers.

The bowling alley.

Now, you know it, and I know it.

Farley.

Get over on the flank with little John.

Hang on, Jeet.

Just hang on. Lieutenant's going to get you back.

Kirby?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's me.

You all set with that thing? Yes, sir.

I'm going to check Farley and Little John.

Tell them to be ready when we open up.

Hey, you guys about to stretch a team on the way up? Yeah.

They should be here in a few minutes. Good.

Hey, did you hear that, kid?

You're going to make out okay.

You might even get a trip home out of this.

Hey, listen.

Next time I tell you I can clean out a poker game, maybe you'll believe me,

huh?

Collect our dough from Farley, or you'll be home in business for yourself even

before that kid of yours comes.

Did I hear you say you played poker with Farley?

Joe Farley?

Yeah.

He give you any markers?

Well, yeah. He owes gentlemen and me a whole bundle.

Boy, I hate to tell you this, Kirby, but you can kiss your bundle goodbye.

I've heard about Farley from the last two squads he was in. That dead beats

Wilson every dead since D-Day.

McCauley, you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Toss in a grenade.

I can't reach the church from here, Lieutenant.

I know.

As soon as it hits, we'll move in closer.

Go upstairs.

You okay?

Yeah.

Where's Farley? I thought he was with you.

I think he ducked into that building.

No.

I'll go get him.

I thought I heard something out there. I was just checking it out.

Let me see your wallet.

What for?

Let me see it, you welcher.

What are you talking about?

Look, you're never meant to pay off. That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, let me see it.

Oh, Kirby.

Thought you didn't have any money.

Close to 400 bucks here.

All right.

You're not the only one that wants to come out of this war with something,

Kirby.

So my integrity is limited.

But so is yours.

You ain't no saint.

It's every man for himself.

That's why you came back to help me. To protect those markers.

So you see, Kirby, you're just like me.

No, you got things a little mixed up, Farley.

It was my job to help you. That's why I went back. Not your markers.

I'd have gone back to help you no matter who you were.

Maybe that's the difference between us.

Stretcher bears get the kid back?

Yeah.

What do you think, Doc?

I don't know.

Oh, uh, sir, I'm looking for Private Gittleman.

Yes, in this room next to the fireplace.

Is he going to make it okay?

Yes.

He'll have a long recuperation period, maybe two months.

After that, we send him back to the States.

Thanks, sir.

Hey, G.

How you doing?

Hey, Kirby.

Hey, I collected for us.

What? It's a... It's a dough from Farley's markers.

I got it.

That's more than I had in common.

Oh, no, no. You counted those markers wrong.

Your share came out a lot more than you thought.

Well, you can use it, can't you? I can sure use mine.

Yeah. Thanks, Kirby.

Yeah.

You gonna get your bullet, Ellie?

You better believe it.

Listen, if you're up around Chicago, you just look me up.

I'm gonna be there.

Okay.

Well, better get yourself some rest, Chief.

Good luck to you.

Thanks, partner.

Hey, Kirby.

You gave him all the money, didn't you?

Look, you tell anybody about it and I'll bust you in the mouth.

Come on, I'll buy you a beer.
