as Sergeant Carter.

[laughter]

Oh, Vince,
it sure is good to see you again!

- It's been a long time.
- Oh, yeah, a long time!

The minute I got back into town, I said,

"You know what?
I'm gonna look up old Vince."

Oh, remember all the good times
we used to have together

when we were going with each other?

We really did some crazy things!

Yeah, we did some crazy things!
[chuckles]

Hey, what's the matter with you?

- Are you expecting somebody?
- No, no, no.

- I was just looking around!
- [both laugh]

Yeah, we sure did some wild things.

And I was thinking, how about picking up
where we left off, huh?

Oh, yeah!

[Carter and girl giggle]

Who's that?

Oh, uh,
just one of the guys in my platoon.

Uh, excuse me.
I think that guy wants to talk to me.

Oh, sure, Vince!

Hey, hurry back, hon!

Yeah. [laughs nervously]

Hey, Sergeant.

Hello, Pyle.

I guess you wonder what I'm doing here.

Getting something to eat?

I mean, you're probably wondering
why I'm not here with Bunny.

Oh.

Well, to tell you the truth, I did wonder.

Nothing's happened
between you and Miss Bunny, has it?

Oh, no, no.

See, it's like this.

This young lady is an old friend and
we haven't seen each other in a long time.

Oh, that's nice.

- Old friends is the best friends.
- Yeah.

Well, I'm glad you understand
about the old friend and all,

but it'll be better
if you keep it to yourself.

What?

You know, the old friend?

Oh, of course.

But who do I keep it to myself from?

Certain people.

Bunny.

Why, Sergeant?

Well, she might not understand.

[cash register rings]

Anybody would understand
old friends getting together.

Look, Pyle...

[dramatic music]

[patrons scream]

A real robber! Shazam!

Help! Help! Robber!

A hold-up! Cops! Police! Robber!

- [cashier wails]
- Here, Pyle. Watch him.

Come on, let's get outta here!

- What's going on? What happened?
- I'll tell you about it on the way home!

Come on, let's go!

Let me tell you now, let me tell you,
see this guy walks in, see,

and he shows... he shows me his gun
and he says, "This is a hold-up."

Lucky for me, some guy jumped him.

- What guy?
- Huh?

Uh... That guy! That guy over there!
That Marine! That Marine!

[policeman] Hey, you?

Me?

Yeah. Yeah, that's him!
That's the guy that clobbered the crook.

This Marine right here!

Nice going, Sergeant.
May I have your name?

I didn't do anything!
What are you talking about?

- Well, he just said...
- But he was wrong. I didn't do anything.

It was him!

- Here's your Marine! He nailed that crook!
- But I...

Nah, he nailed him good.
I saw it with my own eyes.

Well, nice going, Private.
What's your name?

- Gomer Pyle. But I was...
- You should've seen him jump in there!

- Like a cobra! "Pow!"
- But I was...

And then he went into action.

What was that name again? Gomer Pyle?

That's right. But the private's
gotta get back to the base now.

Is it all right?

Yeah, I guess so.

- That's good work, boy. Very good work.
- [Carter laughs nervously]

I don't like it, Sergeant.
I just don't like it.

Look, Pyle,
I'll explain it to you one more time.

If I told the policeman I did it,
he'd have to put my name in his report.

Next thing, my name's in the newspaper

and they also mention the fact
that I was there with another girl,

in which case Bunny would kill me!

But the plain truth is, you did it.
That's the plain truth.

You're just my insurance, that's all.
Don't you understand that?

I don't know, Sergeant. I just don't know.

All right, you got a choice.

You can tell everybody the truth
and cause me and Bunny to break up,

or you can go along with it
for a day or so.

Do you wanna see me and Bunny break up?

Well, I sure would hate
to cause you two to break up.

Okay. Then, just forget it

and everything will blow over real fast.

But I sure do hate to tell a lie.

- Pyle...
- But I wouldn't want to break you two up.

- Then, it's settled!
- But I hate to lie.

Oh, I wouldn't want to see you break up.

But it's bad to lie! It's bad to break up.

Bad to lie...
Sergeant, I don't know what to do!

- Pyle, do you wanna break Bunny's heart?
- Why, I'd never!

- Do you wanna see her kill me?
- Oh, no!

Then, forget it!

- Well, if I have to...
- Good.

And believe me, it's already forgotten.

Good night, Pyle.

But I sure hate to tell a lie!

Hate to see you break up...

But it's bad to lie!

But it's bad to break up.

The whole thing happened so fast,
I didn't have time to think.

The guy didn't see me coming,
it was boom-boom and it was over.

- No kidding?
- Just like a cobra. I struck like a cobra!

You jumped a guy with a gun?
That was taking a chance.

Look, at a time like this,

you don't stop to think. You go, you go.

And I did. "Mm-mm!" Just like a cobra.

- You jumped a guy with a gun.
- [sighs] Yeah.

How about that?

- [knocking]
- Come in.

- Sergeant Carter?
- Yeah?

I'm Don Mills. Radio station KGRL.

- Colonel Gray told me to see you.
- He did?

Yes, you see, I do a human interest show
and I'd like to interview one of your men.

Oh, yeah? Who?

Private Gomer Pyle. The Colonel liked
the idea, but he wanted me to ask you

if you could release Private Pyle
for a few minutes from his duties.

It won't take long.

Well, sure. It's okay with me
if it's okay with the Colonel.

How did you happen to pick Pyle?

I mean,
what do you wanna interview him about?

- Oh, didn't you hear about last night?
- Last night?

- Yeah, he prevented a robbery!
- Yeah?

[Mills] Yeah, he jumped an armed robber
with his bare hands!

You've got a real hero in your outfit!

Uh, Pyle's out in front of the barracks.

Yeah, I better go set up.
Say, you know how he did it? A judo shot.

- Robber never knew what hit him!
- He's over there somewhere!

If you look for him, you'll find him.
[slams door]

I guess you're wondering
what that's all about.

- Yeah, a little.
- [Carter sighs]

- Well, the story is just like I told you.
- Yeah?

Exactly. I did it,
but I told the police that Pyle did it.

Yeah? How come?

How come?
How come I told them that Pyle did it?

Because I was there with another dame,
that's how come.

- Yeah?
- Well, don't you get it?

I had to tell them it was someone else
for just this reason!

Now, it's gonna be on the radio
and get all over town.

If they knew the real story,

they'd blab the fact that I was there
with another dame,

and where would that leave me with Bunny?

Mm-hm?

- You don't believe me!
- Vince, whatever you say!

Okay, if that's the way you're gonna be,
just forget I said anything!

If that's what you want, it's forgotten.

And don't worry, I won't tell anybody.

[Carter grunts]

Hi there, ladies and gentlemen! This is
Don Mills once again with Face to Face,

the program that lets you meet the people
behind the headlines.

Today, we bring you the profile of a hero.

We're here at Camp Henderson talking to
Marine Private First Class Gomer Pyle,

the man who captured an armed robber
last night at a local restaurant.

Private Pyle, why don't you tell us
in your own words what happened?

[men call cadence in distance]

Well, uh,

there was this feller with the gun,

and somebody had to do somethin'.

- Well, somebody did.
- You most certainly did!

Would you tell our listeners
how you overpowered him?

Well, the crook,

the feller with the gun...

Well...

- It was judo.
- Judo, ladies and gentlemen.

Was that part of your Marine training?

Well, I can almost say for sure
it was Marine training.

When you saw the man with the gun,
what went through your mind?

Well, I thought to myself,

"Golly, that man has a gun!"

And that's when you went into action?

Well, that's when everything
started happening.

Tell us, Private,
how does it feel to be a hero?

Well, I don't know!

Well, you know. I don't know.

There you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
The hero's own story.

The story of a brave man, a modest man,

a man who remains humble,
almost embarrassed,

in a situation
that would turn another man's head.

Thank you,
Marine Private First Class Gomer Pyle.

For your courage and your bravery, all
I can say is, well done. Congratulations.

This is Don Mills at Camp Henderson.

Excuse me.

Gomer! Gomer, you're too much! You never
said anything about catching a crook.

- Well...
- How do you like this guy?

Bare-handed, he takes a guy with a gun
and doesn't say a word.

How do you keep a thing like that
a secret?

He's a regular John Wayne!

Do you mind?

[stammers] I'd rather not talk about it.
Excuse me, I got somethin' to do.

S-Sergeant?

What do you want?

Did I do all right?

The things I told that man
really pained me. But did I do all right?

Yeah, yeah, fine.

Well, I feel just terrible.

I didn't really come right out and lie,
but it's what I didn't say.

So, what do you want from me?

Well, nothing.
I just wanted to do what you told me.

Well, you did it. So okay.

But you said
it was gonna all be forgotten.

Well, I made a mistake, sue me!

Well, I was just trying
to do what you told me,

and I just wondered, did I do all right?

You did fine! Now get outta here
and get back to work!

So anyway, I says to her, "Honey,

I've been called a lot of things
in my time, but never that!"

[laughter]

Hey, Sergeant!

How about that Pyle?

Huh? What about him?

He looks like the last guy in the world
to pull what he did.

Yeah, you never know, do you?

- He's your prize knucklehead, isn't he?
- Yeah, yeah.

What do you suppose got into him, Vince?
How did he get so gutsy all of a sudden?

Because I'll tell you, Vince,
he sure don't look like a hero.

Pyle don't look like a hero
because he ain't, okay?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- [Carter] I'll lay it out for ya!

That thing that happened
at the restaurant, throwing that crook,

I did it.

That's right, it was me.

- What is this?
- [Lubik] Are you putting us on, Vince?

No, it was me!

I told Boyle the whole story, didn't I,
Boyle?

Well, this may sound like
a stupid question,

but how come Pyle's getting all the credit
if you did it?

Because I planned it that way.

That's the way I wanted it.

Because I was there with another dame
and I had to lay low.

Well, you guys know Bunny.

I happened to be there that night
with another dame.

If Bunny found out about it,
I'd be done for!

[slams table] Okay!

Come on!

Okay, Pyle,
tell 'em what happened at the restaurant.

- Aw, Sergeant...
- Go on, tell 'em!

Well, there was this feller
in the restaurant with a gun,

- and I knew something had to be done...
- No, not that story!

Tell 'em what really happened.

- What really happened?
- Yeah.

How I saw the guy with the gun,
how I knew something had to be done,

how I struck like a cobra.

- Oh, that story!
- Yeah.

Well,
it's just like Sergeant Carter's saying.

There was this feller there with a gun,

and he struck like a... a...?

- A cobra!
- Just like a cobra. That's what happened.

Okay, Pyle.

- Satisfied?
- What did you make him do that for?

Huh? I didn't make him do anything.

No, just repeat, word for word,
everything you said.

Look, Vince, we understand.

The private gets all the glory,
the sergeant gets nothing,

the sergeant gets jealous.

But it was the truth!
You don't believe it?

Well, we can believe you

or the newspapers, the radio,
the police...

But you don't believe it, do you?

[playful music]

Vince, whatever ya say!

- Sergeant?
- [lead snaps]

Don't you know better
than to sneak up on people?

- I'm sorry, but I just had to talk to you.
- [sighs] So talk.

I feel just terrible getting all the glory
that's rightfully yours.

- I'm living a lie and it just ain't right.
- Forget it. It's too late now.

But, Sergeant, it's just like quicksand.
We're bogging down deeper and deeper.

Look, Pyle, we started this thing
and we're gonna see it through.

Sergeant, I got another problem.

Yeah?

I got to get your permission
to go over to Company A.

Company A? What for?

Sergeant Polk over there,
he wants me to give a judo demonstration.

What?

It all came about from this lie
I'm living.

They want me to show
how I caught that crook with judo.

[sighs] Oh, brother!

Well, that's what I said! You should
be the one giving the demonstration.

You see how we're getting in
deeper and deeper?

Why don't I just go to the newspapers

- and tell them...
- No!

No newspapers,
and no more of your problems.

I don't wanna hear it!

But, Sergeant, the judo...
They want me to demonstrate!

Go! Demonstrate!
Just leave me alone.

- But, Sergeant...
- Demonstrate! Demonstrate! Demonstrate!

- Do I look all right?
- Huh?

Oh, yeah, fine.

- Where we going?
- I don't care.

- Well, how about a movie?
- [tuts] Nah.

Well, then, uh, how about some dancing
at that go-go place?

Nah.

Well, what do you wanna do?

Why do we have to do anything?
Can't we just sit?

- Just sit?
- Yeah, just sit.

Vince, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey,
I know what I wanted to ask you about!

Gomer! We haven't even talked about him.

How about that, Vince?

How about what?

Well, I guess
I never really got to know him, did I?

- He always struck me as such a pussycat!
- Yeah.

But I guess that pussycat
must have a little tiger in him, huh?

- Yeah.
- Boy, I almost fell over when I heard it.

I heard him on the radio.
Did you hear him?

I heard. I heard.

I never dreamed he had it in him.
That pussycat!

Boy, Vince, what do you teach those guys

- to make 'em turn like that?
- Bunny!

I gotta go.

Go? Ya just got here!

I know, but I just remembered
I gotta get back to the base.

We got a big field problem
and it starts early in the morning.

Oh... Well... [Bunny stammers]

I'm sorry.

I'll call you tomorrow. Maybe...

And that's the way
the whole thing happened.

I just had to tell somebody,
on account I thought I was gonna bust!

Now, wait a minute, Gomer, wait a minute.
You mean Carter's the real hero,

- but you're getting all the credit for it?
- [both laugh]

It's not funny!

I thought you fellers could help.

Gomer, you got the best deal in the world.
What a setup.

Any time Carter gives you a bad time,
you just turn him in to his girl, right?

There's gotta be somebody
that can help me.

- Yes?
- Uh, Chaplain,

could I see you for a minute?

- I'm Private Gomer Pyle.
- Well, I'm a little busy ri...

Oh, Gomer Pyle? Come on in, son.

I've already heard one side of the story,
Private. Now I'd like to hear yours.

Now, I know how frustrating it must be

to know that you did something and...
and somebody else get the credit for it.

That's very disturbing.

But what's even more disturbing
is the lie that all this is based on.

It's because of the lie

that the one person that you would like
to know the truth about your heroic act

- doesn't know.
- Yes, sir.

I think you would solve your problem
if you told this girl the truth.

I sure would feel a whole lot better
if Miss Bunny knew.

But, sir, she'd kill me.

I think the important thing is to clear
the air between you and your girlfriend.

I'm sure she'll understand.

Oh, she'd understand!
But she'd still kill me.

Well, you're not happy this way.

- You said you haven't slept.
- You haven't? Why, that's terrible!

Grandma Pyle always said,
"A mind that can't sleep is full of woe,

and you'll never sleep
till you rid yourself of that woe."

You know, you won't feel right
until the truth is known.

- I guess so.
- I'll help you tell her.

- Okay. I'll do it.
- Good.

Yeah, I'll tell her.

But she's gonna kill me.

Vince, you've been acting funny
the last couple of days,

and tonight you made this sound
more like a meeting than a date.

- Well, in a way it is.
- Huh?

I'll tell you about it in a few minutes.

- Well, why can't you tell me now?
- Well, I'm waiting for someone.

Boy, are you the man of mystery!

Vince, it's Gomer!

Why don't you call him over?
Oh, call over that pussycat tiger!

Don't worry, he'll be over.

Hey, Sergeant. Hey, Miss Bunny.

- Sit down, Pyle, sit down.
- Thank you.

Well, I haven't seen you
since you became a big hero!

Congratulations!

W-Well, Sergeant Carter
has something to say to you about that.

I was thrilled when I heard it!

Sergeant?

Bunny? [Carter sighs]

- I got something to say.
- Yeah?

Uh, Bunny, you see,
sometimes things happen,

and...
and when you look back on these things,

well, the things you look back on,

well, maybe they didn't happen
the way you think they happened.

You wanna say that again?

All right, I'll start over.

It was this way.

You know that thing about Pyle here
and that crook?

- Well, it was...
- [cashier] Be a nice fella, please, huh?

- Please!
- Are you listening to me?

O-Oh! Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.

Look at that guy over there.

[man slurs] I said I wanted a drink!

Look, mister, we don't serve drinks here.

W-Why don't you have
a nice cup of coffee, huh?

If I wanted coffee, I'd ask for it.

Boy, I hate people
who don't know when to quit.

- [man] I want a drink!
- Come on.

[dishes clatter]

- [patrons scream]
- He did it again!

- Vince, are you all right?
- Yeah, sure.

Talk about lightning striking twice
or history repeating itself!

The very same thing happened
with that crook.

Sergeant Carter was even sitting
in the same booth here.

- What?
- That's right.

I wasn't the hero at all.
It was Sergeant Carter all along.

- What is this?
- That's what we come here to talk about.

That thing that happened with the crook
the other night,

that was Sergeant Carter, not me.

- Not you?
- That's right.

But he couldn't tell you, on account of
he was here with another girl.

I know all about it,
and it was truly innocent,

but he didn't wanna take a chance
on you finding out

and getting your feelings hurt,
so I had to take all the credit,

on account of he likes you so much,
he didn't want to see you hurt.

And, well, the truth had to come out,

and that's the reason Sergeant Carter
is telling you all this.

Yeah!

Oh, Vince, you mean that you just...?

Oh, Vince!

[Carter laughs]

Well, all's well that ends well!

I guess I'll be going along,

since it looks like
everything's ended well.

[Bunny coos] Oh, Vince!

My hero!

- Mm!
- [Carter laughs]

You mean that you let Gomer
take all the credit

so you wouldn't have to tell me
you were here with someone else?

- Well, I didn't think you'd understand.
- Oh, Vince...

- Was it anyone I know?
- Huh?

The girl you were with,
was it anyone I know?

No, no, no, it was just an old friend.
That's all.

Ah! Then, why didn't you tell me?

Well, I figured you might not like it,

my being out with a beautiful girl
and all.

- Oh? Beautiful, huh?
- Well, she's got...

Is that why you were out with her
instead of me?

- No, I...
- No. No, no, no.

You wanna go out with beautiful girls
instead of me, then you just say so!

- Bunny, I didn't say that.
- No, I don't need a roof to fall on me!

- I mean, if you want to go out with...
- [dramatic music]

Well, at long last, I get to say
a few words in my behalf.

How 'bout that?

You know, I've been sittin'
on the sidelines a long time, Boyle,

and have I got a coupla things
to talk about?!

- Well, I'm ready. How about you, Sergeant?
- Anytime.

And don't worry about me freezing up
in front of the microphone.

- I've done a lot of this stuff.
- Oh, good!

- Ahem!
- Ssh!

Hi there! This is Don Mills again
with Face to Face.

We're back at Camp Henderson today
to interview Sergeant Vincent Carter.

Last night, Sergeant Carter
prevented a local restaurant owner

from possible serious injury

when he thwarted a man
who was attacking the owner with a bottle.

Sergeant,
would you like to tell us about it?

Well, it wasn't much, Don.

It sure was, too!

Now, don't be modest, Sergeant.
You deserve all the credit and more.

And you should tell the people
how it all happened.

- I know 'cause I was there.
- Pyle!

And what a grand story it was, too.

You see, I seen the whole thing.

We was all sitting round this table
when it all happened.

See, we'd gone there to meet Miss Bunny,
and then this man came in...
