“Oh, what do we have here? Bonnie Prince Charley and his toy bayonet!...”

Mulcahy

[watching Searles practice with his bayonet]

Oh, what do we have here? Bonnie Prince Charley and his toy bayonet! Stab me.

Searles

What?

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!

Trip

**** forgot to duck, that's all!

Shaw

Sergeant, deal with that man!
