Mulcahy Left! Right! Left! [to Sharts] What the hell are you doing, boy? Don't you know your right from your left?
Mulcahy [Scared, Sharts shakes his head]
No? How many here do not know right from left?
Mulcahy [Half a dozen hands are raised. Mulcahy mutters something under his breath, then slaps Sharts on the chest]
THIS is your FRONT!
Mulcahy [slaps his back]
THIS is your REAR!
Mulcahy [stomps on his right foot]
THIS is your RIGHT!
Mulcahy [goes to stomp on his left foot]
And THIS...!
Mulcahy [Sharts lifts his foot out of the way]
Now you're learnin', boy-o!
Mulcahy [watching Searles practice with his bayonet]
Oh, what do we have here? Bonnie Prince Charley and his toy bayonet! Stab me.
Mulcahy Stab-me.
Mulcahy [Searles comes at him gingerly and Mulcahy slaps it away]
I said STAB, not TICKLE! Come on, you prissy little schoolgirl!
Mulcahy [Searles comes at him again, Mulcahy disarms him and slams the rifle butt into his stomach, then his face. Searles falls to the ground, writhing in pain and sobbing]
No shame, son, get up... I SAID GET UP!
**** forgot to duck, that's all!
S Shaw
Sergeant, deal with that man!
Mulcahy Sir!
S Shaw
I have no doubt you are a fair man, Mulcahy. I wonder if you are treating the men a little hard.
S Shaw
[Mulcahy pauses]
You may speak freely.
