When the VIP was brought into the latrine for the inspection and the order of "attention" was given, Will also gave his version of a solute to the VIP. He stepped on a pedal that was wired to all the toilet seats, and in unison all the seats snapped up in salute! You can only imagine the expression of his sargent's face!
I've seen that movie a dozen times and laugh every time.
