Two people sit on a couch and discuss the logistics of setting up a reception for a new sergeant major. The conversation implies the task is more complex than it appears.

“What's the big deal? So you have to set up a reception for the new sergeant major. What's so tough about that? What's so tough?” 10:03 · “Well, you may not realize it, but there's a lot to setting up an affair like this. It just doesn't happen, you know.” 10:09 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
