- Yeah.

00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:07,- Get it in there.
- Now, pull your pants up.

00:05:07,307 --> 00:05:09,- Pull them way up.
- High.

00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:10,No, man.

00:05:28,495 --> 00:05:30,- Or silk.
- Bikini panties, right. That'll be good.

00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:32,When you take pants off,

we're making you a fag for the induction.

00:05:41,967 --> 00:05:44,- Oh. It's like 'silk-pantsing'?
- Right.

00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:47,It sounded pretty strange
for a second.

00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:51,You want people to focus in
on the crucial area.

00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:53,To scope in on that zone
down there.

00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:57,- Take some Kleenex or a pair of socks.
- Oh, yeah.

00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:04,Just, er... Just so it bulges.

00:06:04,447 --> 00:06:07,And then what you need
is a kind of a fishnet shirt.

00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:09,Oh, yeah, big fishnet, yeah.

00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:12,And then you need like a scarf.

00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:15,Kind of a big, flowing, silk scarf.

00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:18,If you're gonna wear those net shirts,
you'll have to shave your chest.

00:06:18,211 --> 00:06:19,You have to shave under your arms.

00:06:20,005 --> 00:06:21,- Your whole body.
- Better use Nair.

00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:25,So with the hand on the hip
and the wrist, just flop the wrist,

00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:29,just walk right up to the Sergeant,
get as close as you can,

00:06:30,056 --> 00:06:33,and seduce him
with your eyeballs and say, "Hi!"

00:06:33,602 --> 00:06:36,- Do that.
- Hey, fellas, get a load of this.

00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:38,Yeah.

00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:41,And when he talks to the fellas,

00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,you turn around and look
at the fellas too, see?

00:06:44,613 --> 00:06:47,And give 'em a little sort of wink,
a little...

00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:50,Like that, right? Yeah, you g***t that?

00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,And then he'll ask you
He'll ask what your name is.

00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,- What's your name?
- Paul Gerald Shaw.

00:06:55,707 --> 00:06:57,Gerald...

00:06:57,542 --> 00:07:00,I g***t it! When he asks him his name...
This is what you say.

00:07:00,462 --> 00:07:02,What's your name, son?

00:07:02,297 --> 00:07:04,Paul Gerald Shaw.

00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:08,The fellas call me Jerry,
but you can call me Geranium.

00:07:08,845 --> 00:07:10,Hey, did you hear that, fellas?

00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:13,What kind of a name is that?
What kind of a name is that, son!

00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:17,Oh, my friends think
I smell like a flower.

00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:21,Yeah, just like that.
And then he'll ask you where you live.

00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:24,Ask me where I live.
This is very important.

00:07:24,235 --> 00:07:29,- Alright, where do you live, son?
- Oh, I live... around.

00:07:29,824 -->...
