SGT. CARTER
Boyle, call Pyle in here!
CPL. BOYLE
BOYLE GOES OVER TO THE BARRACKS AND GETS PYLE.
SGT. CARTER
Pyle, I hear you have come into some dough.
PYLE
Yes sir, Sergeant. I sure have.
(Pyle is grinning like a possum.)
SGT. CARTER
Pyle, I just want to offer my services to help you keep the
winnings safe. I mean, I could keep them for you if you want me
to.
PYLE
Gollleee Sergeant, that would sure be nice of you!
SGT. CARTER
Yeah Pyle. And I could invest it for you so you could let
it grow to be HUGE!
CARTER WINKS AT BOYLE.
PYLE
But Sergeant, I think that what I won was enough. Why would I
want to have more money?
SGT. CARTER
Because, Pyle, you have to think of the future. What if someday,
when you're old, you want to go to Florida to live. If you don't let
me invest the money for you, you might not have enough. I'm telling you,
investing that dough is the best way to go.
CARTER CUTS HIS EYES TO PYLE TO SEE IF HE IS CATCHING ON. HE ISN'T.
PYLE
Okay, Sergeant Carter. I'll go get the money.
PYLE LEAVES TO GO GET HIS WINNINGS. CARTER CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE'S GETTING READY TO GET HIS MITS ON SUCH A BIG SLICE OF CAKE.
SGT. CARTER
Boyle, can you believe how stupid Pyle is? He's actually going
to hand over his dough to me! How can one person be that stupid?
BOYLE
Sarge, I hope you're doing the right thing. You're not planning on
stealing some of Pyle's money for yourself, are you?
SGT. CARTER
Boyle! Of course I'm not! I was planning on stealing some for you too.
BOYLE
Well, in that case, bring on the semolians!
PYLE RETURNS WITH A LARGE SACK OF CASH.
PYLE
Okay, Sergeant Carter, here it is.
SGT. CARTER
Okay, Pyle. Thanks. Now you just go back to your barracks. We'll
take care of your money. Don't worry.
PYLE
PYLE LEAVES.
SGT. CARTER
Alright, Boyle. Don't just stand there, start divvying it up!
BOYLE
I don't know, Sarge. This seems wrong.
SGT. CARTER
I know what you mean, Boyle. Let's give the Captain a cut, shall we?
