The Rear Guard Page #3

---

Your Navy will not fire on its own people.

Put on the belt.

You, freckle face,

open the door.

Captain Rosatti, I present you back

with your own empty gun.

And when we get to Germany

you will all be my prisoners...

And then we shall examine the list.

Captain Rosatti, Captain Rosatti, what are

we going to do? Colonel Walsh is coming.

- Your game is up.

- You will bluff your way through.

- No he won't.

- Please, Raskin, he'll pull the string!

Forward, march!

And bluff, two, three, four...

I'll pray for you boys...

...as soon as I get

my hands untied.

Hut, two, three, four, hut, two,

three, four, hut, two, three, four...

- Rosatti?

- Platoon, halt!

- Where are you taking the prisoners?

- Well, you see, Colonel...

Captain Rosatti thought it would be a

good idea to give them some exercise.

You see, they've been cooped up

in a submarine for weeks.

I just stopped by to tell you the escort

for the prisoners is on the way.

Forward... march.

- Rosatti.

- Halt!

I'm surprised at you.

You're usually spit and polish.

You've got a big piece of string

hanging down your back.

- Where?

- Here!

Rosatti's got a grenade in his pants.

- Somebody help me get it out!

- I'm going in.

Save yourself, Raskin!

- May I have your gun, Colonel?

- What is going on?

I'll explain later.

All right, you Nazi Germans.

Get up over in one group here. Raus.

Mach schnell, mach schnell!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

WAIT A MINUTE!

It should have gone off by now.

I thought you said you

primed those grenades.

I did sir, with dummies.

Why can't you ever obey orders?

Just lucky, I guess.

- Raskin?

- Yes?

Take your hand out of my pants.

Hey Crawford, when you

finish with your comb,

give it to Marsha, she can

grease the typewriter with it.

Captain Rosatti, here's an enveloppe

marked urgent, from colonel Walsh.

I'll bet is a commendation.

Read it, Raskin.

Yeah, I hope the colonel

didn't single me out.

The whole unit deserves a medal.

What does the colonel say?

It says:
The German U-boat

captain has one request.

He wants to know the

name of the kosher deli.

# You don't have to worry at all

# If you hear a siren,

just give them a goodluck call

# So don't you have no fear

# The rear, the rear,

the rear guard's over here.

# Some of them don't even know

the right foot from the left.

# They're too young,

or just too old, or just 4-F.

# You don't have to worry at all

# If you hear a siren,

just give them a goodluck call

# So don't you have no fear

# The rear, the rear,

the rear guard's over here.
