Military recruiter present at the USO Show.

S3E1 - As Midge opens for Shy, Broome tries to recruit Susie into the military, mistaking her for a man.

BROOME: Funny little lady.
SUSIE: She is.
BROOME: You know, a lot of top-notch entertainers come through here.
SUSIE: Uh-huh.
BROOME: Bob Hope played here. Right on that stage. Milton Berle, been here twice. You know how much you'd have to pay to see Bob Hope at the Copacabana?
SUSIE: A lot.
BROOME: (scoffs) And then some. Yeah, the army life is a good life. Job security, three squares a day, excitement, travel. You like to travel?
SUSIE: Uh, sure.
BROOME: It's a great organization. Waking up every day, proud to be an American. Proud to serve your country, you know?
SUSIE: Do I?
BROOME: Well, have you ever thought about joining up?
SUSIE: Me? Oh, uh, no.
BROOME: Strong young man like yourself.
SUSIE: I'm not that young.
BROOME: Can you play the bugle?
SUSIE: I do not play the bugle.
BROOME: Oh. We need a bugler. I just thought I'd ask.
SUSIE: Ah, sorry.
BROOME: You got the cheeks for it.
SUSIE: Okay.
BROOME: Well, doesn't matter. There's a place for everyone in the Army. Plus, you get benefits up the ass.
SUSIE: Well, I don't need anything up my ass at the moment, but thank you.
BROOME: Think about it.
SUSIE: I will. It'll never leave my mind again. Trust me.
