1. Huh! They can make a saw
that doesn't cut skin,Copy !req
2. but they can't make
a parachute that opens.Copy !req
3. Can we move this along?Copy !req
4. I have a full day ahead of me.Copy !req
5. Boggle with Nancy at 2:00,
softball practice at 4:00,Copy !req
6. and at some point,
I should probably take a shower.Copy !req
7. Now, Peggy, don't expect
to be 100 percent right away.Copy !req
8. It's likely your muscles have atrophied.Copy !req
9. Well, what you may not know, Doctor,Copy !req
10. is that every morning since the accident,
I have been doing isometric butt clenches.Copy !req
11. No, no, no. Thank you, Doctor.
I will take over from here.Copy !req
12. - Oh!Copy !req
13. Well, what do you know.Copy !req
14. It doesn't smell in here at all.Copy !req
15. Come on, with all your strength.Copy !req
16. - Here you go.
- There you go.Copy !req
17. Whoa.Copy !req
18. Aw, come on, Peggy.
You'll be back on your feet in no time.Copy !req
19. Stop moping.Copy !req
20. I am not moping.Copy !req
21. I am having trouble supporting my head.Copy !req
22. Peggy Hill. All right.Copy !req
23. My name's Ramsey.
I'm your physical therapistCopy !req
24. and I am going to have you...Copy !req
25. walking again in no time.Copy !req
26. You will?Copy !req
27. Sure. Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow...Copy !req
28. In a month, way too soon.Copy !req
29. Don't be so tough on yourself.Copy !req
30. Nobody spends six weeks in a cast
without their body going a little soft.Copy !req
31. But that's okay. Water's soft, too.Copy !req
32. But give it time,
and it'll carve the Grand Canyon.Copy !req
33. Now, that didn't take a day,
a week or even a month.Copy !req
34. It took over 200 years.Copy !req
35. The Grand Canyon took millions of years.Copy !req
36. You've got to learn
to trust me, Mrs. Hill.Copy !req
37. We gonna be working together
one hour at a time,Copy !req
38. once a week for however long it takes
to carve you a Grand Canyon.Copy !req
39. We're going to do this drop by drop.
Are you with me?Copy !req
40. Well, all right. I guess so.Copy !req
41. Okay, let's do it.Copy !req
42. Great!Copy !req
43. - See you next week.
- Next week?Copy !req
44. Drop by drop, Mrs. Flores.Copy !req
45. Yeah, you got it.Copy !req
46. Now I am moping.Copy !req
47. - No peeking.
- I'm not peeking.Copy !req
48. Okay, you can open your eyes.Copy !req
49. Okay. They're open.Copy !req
50. - Luanne.
- Oh.Copy !req
51. Ta-da!Copy !req
52. Remember the ten bags of cement
you said I'd never use?Copy !req
53. Well, I used one.Copy !req
54. Oh, a wheelchair ramp.Copy !req
55. Well, I thank you.Copy !req
56. Now I don't have
to be trapped in the house, huh?Copy !req
57. I can go anywhere.Copy !req
58. In my wheelchair.Copy !req
59. - Thank you.
- Look, Dad!Copy !req
60. I'm Sophia Loren, huh?Copy !req
61. Bobby, I'm driving you to school today.Copy !req
62. We need to talk.Copy !req
63. Ooh. I'm late for parenting class.Copy !req
64. Luanne, could you give me a rideCopy !req
65. and help me find the baby?Copy !req
66. I sure am glad
you're out of that body cast, Peggy.Copy !req
67. - Well, thank you, Bill.
- What do you suppose they doCopy !req
68. with something like that?Copy !req
69. Throw it out, I imagine.Copy !req
70. Oh.Copy !req
71. Ain't you going to eat your waffle,
Hank's wife?Copy !req
72. It's right in front of you.Copy !req
73. Reach for it. Come on!Copy !req
74. You wouldn't last a day
in a Japanese POW camp.Copy !req
75. Excuse me?Copy !req
76. Tojo had me cooped up
in a bamboo rat cage.Copy !req
77. There was nothing to eat except rats.Copy !req
78. So that's what I ate.Copy !req
79. After two weeks,
I was down to my last rat.Copy !req
80. I had to let him live,
so I could eat his droppings.Copy !req
81. Called it "jungle rice." Tasted fine.Copy !req
82. Yeah, by September,
I was finally thin enough to slipCopy !req
83. between the bamboo bars of my cage.Copy !req
84. I strangled the guard with a ropeCopy !req
85. made of braided rat tails
and ran to safety.Copy !req
86. - Oh, thank God.Copy !req
87. Well, that's my ride to rehab.Copy !req
88. To be continued.Copy !req
89. - I can't.
- That's okay.Copy !req
90. - I can't.
- Drop by drop.Copy !req
91. - I can't!
- It's all right.Copy !req
92. Oh!Copy !req
93. Great set. You showed that
rubber band who was boss.Copy !req
94. But you told me to do 8 to 12 reps.Copy !req
95. I maybe did zero to one reps.Copy !req
96. If you count that last one.Copy !req
97. Every drop counts, Mrs. Hill.Copy !req
98. You're wearing down the rock.Copy !req
99. And by the way, I checked.
We were both right.Copy !req
100. It was 200 million years.Copy !req
101. - So how was rehab?Copy !req
102. I stretched a rubber band today.Copy !req
103. Hey, that's great.Copy !req
104. Oh, who am I kidding?Copy !req
105. That rubber band kicked my ass.Copy !req
106. Look, I know you're disappointed.Copy !req
107. You just got to take it one day at a time.Copy !req
108. Like the drunks do.Copy !req
109. Hank, I just want to go to sleep.Copy !req
110. Fetal position, please.Copy !req
111. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
112. - What?
- I... I just...Copy !req
113. I... Oh...Copy !req
114. Why... Dale.Copy !req
115. I just get so lonely.Copy !req
116. And we both like playing Boggle.Copy !req
117. 'Course, she always wins,
doesn't she? She...Copy !req
118. Please don't tell Hank.Copy !req
119. I want her for the carpool lane.Copy !req
120. Okay!Copy !req
121. Oh!Copy !req
122. Oh.Copy !req
123. That what they been teaching you
in rehab, Hank's wife?Copy !req
124. Okay, Cotton, you have had your fun.Copy !req
125. Now, why don't you help me into my chair?Copy !req
126. Why don't you help yourself?Copy !req
127. Well, I am trying.Copy !req
128. Don't you think I am trying? I can't.Copy !req
129. Because you're weak!Copy !req
130. You ain't got the guts!Copy !req
131. You don't deserve to walk again.Copy !req
132. - Peggy Hill?Copy !req
133. She'll be right there.Copy !req
134. You want to waste your time in a rehab?Copy !req
135. Get in your chair and go.Copy !req
136. You sadistic son of a...Copy !req
137. What are you on your knees for, woman?Copy !req
138. Praying ain't going to help.Copy !req
139. If God loved you,Copy !req
140. he'd have opened your sissy chute.Copy !req
141. You shut up, you...Copy !req
142. Oh, yeah!Copy !req
143. Teach me to walk.Copy !req
144. You ready to hate me more than
you ever hated anyone in your life?Copy !req
145. I already do.Copy !req
146. Then we're halfway there.Copy !req
147. Don't you eyeball me! Don't look away!Copy !req
148. Sitting there all high and mighty
in your wheelchairCopy !req
149. like you're some
Franklin Dee-Eleanor Roosevelt!Copy !req
150. Well, I gots a telegram for you.Copy !req
151. You're no FDR.Copy !req
152. Stop. You're wasting my time.Copy !req
153. Stop! I'm not even sure you want to walk.Copy !req
154. Well, Cotton, of course, I do.Copy !req
155. Then tell me you want to walk.Copy !req
156. I, I want to walk.Copy !req
157. I can't hear you!Copy !req
158. - I want to walk.
- What's that?Copy !req
159. I want to walk!Copy !req
160. - Good. Now shine my boots.
- Oh!Copy !req
161. - And make them all sparkly!Copy !req
162. I'm going to be buried
in those nazzy stompersCopy !req
163. at the Texas State Cemetery.Copy !req
164. That's where our government
inters its war heroes.Copy !req
165. "Inters" means "bury."Copy !req
166. "War heroes" means "me."Copy !req
167. They're letting you in there?Copy !req
168. Well, first, I gots to die.Copy !req
169. But before that,
I gots to fill out an applicationCopy !req
170. and be approved by a damn commission.Copy !req
171. I killed 50 men
and now I got to go beggingCopy !req
172. for a war hero's grave?Copy !req
173. It ain't right.Copy !req
174. My arms are tired.Copy !req
175. And I was tired, too,Copy !req
176. when I was ordered to retake
Munda Airfield in the Solomon Islands!Copy !req
177. But I retook it anyway.Copy !req
178. Tojo had a machine gun
nest high up on a hill.Copy !req
179. Had my whole unit pinned down.Copy !req
180. So I snuck myself behind enemy linesCopy !req
181. in a 55-gallon drum of saké.Copy !req
182. Held my breath
till they got good and drunk,Copy !req
183. and then I jumped outCopy !req
184. spitting alcohol into my Zippo.Copy !req
185. Yep. I "hi-bachied" the whole squad.Copy !req
186. Come on, lady, make them shine.Copy !req
187. Well, you just shaved two minutes
off my commute.Copy !req
188. Mm. Thanks, Peggy.Copy !req
189. Uh... Please don't tell Hank.Copy !req
190. Just disrespectful, talkin' about
like Bill Dautervive, man.Copy !req
191. Not angry, man,
just very ol' dang ol' disappointed, man.Copy !req
192. Very.Copy !req
193. Playtime's over, Hank's wife.Copy !req
194. - Oh, now look what you done.Copy !req
195. He's crying.Copy !req
196. Coo-ca-ca-ca! Coo-ga-goo-ga-ga!Copy !req
197. Oh, poor little baby's sitting
on a fresh grenade.Copy !req
198. Nobody likes that.Copy !req
199. Well, I can't get to him.Copy !req
200. Crawl, damn it! Crawl!Copy !req
201. - Guam, 1944.Copy !req
202. I crawled through a minefieldCopy !req
203. to retrieve
General McArthur's corncob pipe.Copy !req
204. That's right. I'm a hero.Copy !req
205. They're going to bury me
in the Texas State Cemetery.Copy !req
206. You? You're a coward!Copy !req
207. They'll bury you up on Coward's Hill.Copy !req
208. I am not a coward!Copy !req
209. What are you doing, swatting flies,
or just waving hello?Copy !req
210. Well, hello to you, too,
you fly-swatting loser.Copy !req
211. Now move it!Copy !req
212. Colonel, I think the baby's crying.Copy !req
213. Well, good job.Copy !req
214. Those parenting classes
are starting to pay off.Copy !req
215. Thank you.Copy !req
216. Well, I don't mean to brag
about the steaks here,Copy !req
217. but, uh, Dad, you can take out your teeth.Copy !req
218. Shouldn't we wait for Aunt Peggy
to get back from rehab?Copy !req
219. Oh, my God. Was it my turn to pick her up?Copy !req
220. No, she quit the rehab.Copy !req
221. She what?Copy !req
222. Yep. I'm in charge now.Copy !req
223. She's making good progress.Copy !req
224. Don't need her wheelchair no more.Copy !req
225. Oh, my God! Peggy!
What have you done to my wife?Copy !req
226. Turned her into a highly-trained,
highly-motivated fighting machine.Copy !req
227. This is crazy, Dad.
You're not a medical professional.Copy !req
228. First thing tomorrow,
we're going back to rehab.Copy !req
229. Is that what you want?Copy !req
230. You want to drop out of the program?Copy !req
231. Sir, no, sir!Copy !req
232. - Good effort. Have some chow.Copy !req
233. Hank, this steak is so tender.Copy !req
234. Had to get you out of the house.Copy !req
235. Nothing there but girls and babies.Copy !req
236. I'm referring to your husband.Copy !req
237. That's why I brought you here.Copy !req
238. Meet the greatest collection of soldiersCopy !req
239. this country has ever known.Copy !req
240. Stinky, Fatty, Stinky, Brooklyn,
Stinky, Brooklyn,Copy !req
241. Fatty, Fatty, and Doc.Copy !req
242. Oh, and Irwin Linker.Copy !req
243. Men have fought and died for the flag,Copy !req
244. and now we're giving you
the honor of raising it.Copy !req
245. Show us how a real hero starts his day.Copy !req
246. - Oh, how many boots did you shine?Copy !req
247. Your arms is still flabby.Copy !req
248. You done left Old Glory at half-mast!Copy !req
249. Well, who died?Copy !req
250. Is it you? Are you dying on me? Go ahead!Copy !req
251. 'Cause you don't deserve to live,
you worthless...Copy !req
252. Well, what do you know?Copy !req
253. That gal might have
what it takes after all.Copy !req
254. Now raise that flag.Copy !req
255. Peggy, I'm setting the alarm for 7:00.Copy !req
256. Dang it.Copy !req
257. Nope. Set it for 5:30.Copy !req
258. Cotton wants me to cut back on my sleep.Copy !req
259. Says it's making me soft.Copy !req
260. Uh, Peggy, you remember
how you've always hated my father?Copy !req
261. Well, I've never wanted to say anythingCopy !req
262. because I didn't want
to hurt your feelings, but, uh...Copy !req
263. I think my dad
is not too fond of you, either.Copy !req
264. Pretty much.Copy !req
265. Uh, I'm just afraid
he's taking advantage of your conditionCopy !req
266. to, uh...Copy !req
267. Well, I don't know.Copy !req
268. Torture you or something?Copy !req
269. Oh, Hank, he's not torturing me.Copy !req
270. The man is inspiring me.Copy !req
271. And with his help,Copy !req
272. Peggy Hill is doing things
I could never have done on her own.Copy !req
273. That's why I'm helping him
with his application.Copy !req
274. Did he ever tell you
how he survived eight days in a life raftCopy !req
275. by trapping rainwater
in his upturned eyelids?Copy !req
276. Yeah, he might have
mentioned that once or twice.Copy !req
277. May 2, '45, during the battle for Okinawa,Copy !req
278. Cotton invented a bayonet techniqueCopy !req
279. that is still used to gut men today.Copy !req
280. April 30, '45,
at the occupation of Munich...Copy !req
281. Hold on a minute. Munich, Germany?Copy !req
282. Yes, Hank.Copy !req
283. Well, how did my dad
fight in Germany and JapanCopy !req
284. at the same time?Copy !req
285. Well, let's see.Copy !req
286. April 30, May 2, that's two whole days.Copy !req
287. How long does it take to kill 50 men?Copy !req
288. Well, let's get to work!
Come on! Grab some floor!Copy !req
289. Hold on, Cotton. I have a few questions...Copy !req
290. You don't ask me questions.
I ask the questions around here!Copy !req
291. Like, move it! Move it! Move it!Copy !req
292. What's wrong with you?
You crawled yesterday!Copy !req
293. Now come at me.Copy !req
294. Like on Okinawa, when the Tojos came at meCopy !req
295. faster than I could gut them,
so I had to gut them faster.Copy !req
296. You were never on Okinawa.Copy !req
297. Yes, I was.Copy !req
298. Then you were never in Munich!Copy !req
299. Yes, I was.Copy !req
300. Morning, Hank.Copy !req
301. Scrambled. Black. Sports page.
You got five minutes.Copy !req
302. Oh, God! It was all lies.Copy !req
303. Why did I ever believe him?Copy !req
304. Why did I ever think that I could walk?Copy !req
305. Don't talk like that, Peggy.Copy !req
306. So I was right. That's not important now.Copy !req
307. What is important is that
you get right back up on that horse.Copy !req
308. There you go.Copy !req
309. Pass me Cotton's application.Copy !req
310. He may rot in hell,Copy !req
311. but he will not rot
in the Texas State Cemetery!Copy !req
312. Colonel, from your dress and demeanor,Copy !req
313. can I assume you're about
to take your own lifeCopy !req
314. in a cheap motel room
with your service revolver?Copy !req
315. No cigar, Gribble!Copy !req
316. I'm headed over
to the Texas State Cemetery.Copy !req
317. You can't wear that to my hearing.Copy !req
318. Don't worry, Cotton. I won't.Copy !req
319. Well, good. Go change and meet me there.Copy !req
320. And show some leg.Copy !req
321. They ain't got much tone,
but gams is gams.Copy !req
322. Let's go, Hank.Copy !req
323. I just talked to Ramsey.Copy !req
324. He said he'll take you back,
but he's got to warn you,Copy !req
325. Mrs. Flores is already
combing her own hairCopy !req
326. so don't get jealous.Copy !req
327. Who's ready to for a sponge bath?Copy !req
328. Yo.Copy !req
329. Let's see. Bicep curls.
Where did we leave off?Copy !req
330. Five pounds.Copy !req
331. I'd like the half-pounders, please.Copy !req
332. Okay. Let's get busy.Copy !req
333. Just kidding. Let's take it slow.Copy !req
334. For your portrayal of Dr. Jerry Kenderson
on TV's Dallas, 1984 to 1986,Copy !req
335. we proudly assign you, Barry Jenner,
cemetery plot 4, section K.Copy !req
336. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
337. They're going to run out of gravesCopy !req
338. That concludes today's business.Copy !req
339. The Texas State Cemetery commission
will reconvene in six months...Copy !req
340. Hold on! You fellas
got one more man to bury.Copy !req
341. All right. Pass up your application.Copy !req
342. Oh. Well, I don't have it on me
at the moment.Copy !req
343. It's being crippled over.Copy !req
344. Give me another minute. Please.Copy !req
345. I'm afraid that's impossible.Copy !req
346. No! No! No!Copy !req
347. Not the gavel. Don't bang the...Copy !req
348. Doesn't count. Meeting is not adjourned.Copy !req
349. Way to go, Peggy. You're doing just great.Copy !req
350. Would you please stop yelling at me?Copy !req
351. What was I thinking? Munich? Rat tails?Copy !req
352. He's no hero.Copy !req
353. He was just torturing me.Copy !req
354. He is a complete fraud.Copy !req
355. What? What are you muttering?
Are you actually trying to defend him?Copy !req
356. I said that "fraud"
used to be six-foot-four.Copy !req
357. So?Copy !req
358. When he came back from the Pacific,
he was five-foot even.Copy !req
359. A Japanese machine gun
blew away his shins.Copy !req
360. The doctor said he'd never walk again.Copy !req
361. Eighteen months later,
he walked right over to that doctor,Copy !req
362. reached up and punched him in the kidneys.Copy !req
363. Now, I can't prove
what he did at those battles.Copy !req
364. In fact, I don't even knowCopy !req
365. if that part about
hitting the doctor is true,Copy !req
366. but I do know
that my dad doesn't have shins.Copy !req
367. And somehow, he walks.Copy !req
368. And that's pretty heroic to me.Copy !req
369. And that is what I was muttering.Copy !req
370. I'm an old man. I've got a newborn son.Copy !req
371. I can't let him visit me
in a civilian cemetery.Copy !req
372. What kind of a place is that
for a child's birthday party?Copy !req
373. Mr. Chairman, the chair recognizes
Mrs. Peggy Hill.Copy !req
374. In deference to the committee's
busy schedule,Copy !req
375. I have chosen to highlight only a fewCopy !req
376. of Cotton Hill's many acts of braveryCopy !req
377. at Guam, the Solomon Islands,
Sardinia and Okinawa.Copy !req
378. Dang it, woman. You forgot Munich.Copy !req
379. You were never in Munich.Copy !req
380. I wasn't?Copy !req
381. Oh.Copy !req
382. Dad. "Stephen Austin."Copy !req
383. Is that the bionic guy or the wrestler?Copy !req
384. I found it!Copy !req
385. It's a lovely grave, Cotton.Copy !req
386. You deserve it.Copy !req
387. Ain't you coming, Hank's wife?Copy !req
388. That's okay.Copy !req
389. I can see it from here!Copy !req
390. Not the same. Out of the chair!
Let's go! Start climbing!Copy !req
391. But I...Copy !req
392. I can't.Copy !req
393. What do you mean, you can't?Copy !req
394. You mean you won't,
'cause you're weak and lazy!Copy !req
395. Cotton, please...Copy !req
396. I climbed the cliffs of NormandyCopy !req
397. with a 50-pound ice-cream maker
strapped to my back,Copy !req
398. and you're telling me
you can't climb a stupid little hill?Copy !req
399. All right, Cotton.Copy !req
400. Look, I know what you're doing,
but I am very tired...Copy !req
401. You get to the top of that hill,Copy !req
402. and I'll let you dance on my grave.Copy !req
403. Let's go!Copy !req
404. Move it! Move it!Copy !req
405. Come on!Copy !req
406. Come on!Copy !req
407. Cotton...Copy !req
408. may I have this dance?Copy !req
409. Oh!Copy !req
410. Oh!Copy !req
411. I can't hear you!Copy !req
