Congratulations, honey.

- Home run, sir!|- Thank you, Captain.

- We'll rush this baby into production.|- Thank you.

Jack, I thank you|on behalf of a grateful nation.

I just can't wait to see|what you fellas come up with next.

Wait! Wait. The demonstration was rigged.

Ah, do I see politics in your future, sir?|Perhaps a run at the Oval Office?

I've never given that serious consideration.

Wait! General! He faked it!

Didn't you see the gun was aimed|at target three, but blew up target four?

Yes, I did.

If you remember|Einstein's theory, space is curved.

- Yes.|- And these are smart weapons.

Oh, cut the crap! He faked it.|It's just one of his scams.

That's a serious charge.|Colonel, what about this?

General, in all my years in the service...

...I have never, not once,|publicly berated a fellow officer.

But I realise now that from the moment|Major Thorn set foot on Fort Baxter...

...he engaged in a personal vendetta|against Master Sergeant Bilko.

I find his conduct inexcusable, and will|recommend an article 32 investigation.

- I see.|- You don't understand.

He doesn't know what's going on. This|sergeant leads him around by the nose!

Major! You are the most|insubordinate officer I have ever met.

I'm telling you, he's a boob! He doesn't|get it! They faked the whole thing!

I'd like to see just one piece of evidence|to support these idiotic allegations.

Idiotic, huh? How's this for evidence? The|fire-control and super-elevator board.

I took it out last night,|so how can it work?

So you deliberately|sabotaged this project, Major?

I got it all on tape.

Lucky.

- Whoo!|- Yeah, celebration time.

Chin-chin.

Because I know Pap knew it,|and I... Stand, troops!

- You're in the presence of a genius.|- Hoo-ah!

You're a total kingpin. You got Thorn|to sabotage something that didn't work!

Yeah, well, I couldn't have done it without|our Wally. Where is he, where is the lad?

Here, Sarge.

I was just resetting|the colonel's odometer.

- I told you Wally was all right.|- OK. Glee club.

Oh, well.

Only you, only you, only you

Can make this change in me

Only you

You are my destiny

Destiny

When you hold my hand,|I understand the

Magic that you do,|magic that you do

Ooh, you're my dream come true

My one and only

You

Hum

Hum

It's only you

Very nice.

Aw, get up, Bilko.

Marry me, Rita. I know I'm a long shot,|but sometimes long shots pay off big.

Don't even ask. I forgot it was|daylight-savings time. Can you believe it?

Well, better late than never.

- Poker?|- All right.

Nickel ante.

Let's make it interesting.|One hand of showdown.

If I win, we get married.

Ernie, I don't think|that's such a good idea.

I've never known you to chicken out|of a game, whatever the stakes.

You're on.

Well, well, well, what do you know?

- Full house. Jacks over threes.|- You cheated!

- No, and we're getting married!|- When?

Now!

Daddy!

- Ow!|- Dearly beloved, we are gathered here...

...to witness the joining of these|two good people in holy matrimony.

Rita Robbins, do you take Ernest Bilko|to love, honour and cherish...

...for richer or poorer...|- Think we're moving too fast?

- I do.|- Let's go!

- Do you, Ernest Bilko, take Rita...|- Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do.

By the power vested in me, I pronounce|you husband and wife. You may ki...

Ah.

Doo, doo-doo,|doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo-doo,|doo, doo, doo, doo

Where are you goin' to?

What are you gonna do?

Do you think that it will be easy?

Do you think that it will be pleasin'?|Hey, hey, what'd you say?

I won't pay, I'd rather play

It's my freedom|Ah, don't worry about me, babe

I got to be free, babe

Hey, hey, hey, yeah
