1. - Sledge: Hanging!
- Sgt. Fire!
Copy !req
2. - (explosion)
- 73.5 charge zero!
Copy !req
3. - God damn it, Sledge!
- 73.5...
Copy !req
4. Oswalt! Hurry!
Come on, I'm waiting on you!
Copy !req
5. - Today!
- Guns up!
Copy !req
6. - Hurry!
- Oswalt: Ammo!
Copy !req
7. - Hurry!
- (firing)
Copy !req
8. Fuck.
Copy !req
9. Sgt.
What happened, Sledge?
Copy !req
10. You find out "Bob" was
drilling your girlfriend?
Copy !req
11. Dave wouldn't give you
any more hand jobs? What was it?
Copy !req
12. You shot outside
the correction.
Copy !req
13. I thought you said
"Drop 2-5," sir.
Copy !req
14. Oh, you thought?
Copy !req
15. For Christ's sakes,
if you don't know, you ask.
Copy !req
16. "Say again your correction,
Sergeant."
Copy !req
17. You got artillery
shrieking overhead,
Copy !req
18. machine-gun fire,
so you yell it.
Copy !req
19. You scream it if you have to because you
just killed two of your best friends
Copy !req
20. while Tojo and fuckface
over there continue to hose our line.
Copy !req
21. Make a school circle!
Copy !req
22. You're Marines now.
You're not recruits.
Copy !req
23. You ever think you're
gonna fire a short round,
Copy !req
24. you say so in the most
forceful manner possible.
Copy !req
25. You hear me, Sledge?
Copy !req
26. Yes, Sergeant!
Copy !req
27. Back to the line.
Let's try this again.
Copy !req
28. Porter and Barkley,
you're up.
Copy !req
29. "Silent Night"!
Copy !req
30. Leckie's voice:
"Dear Vera,
Copy !req
31. Merry Christmas to you.
Copy !req
32. I hope this holiday
finds you well.
Copy !req
33. And I hope you had
some snow for Christmas.
Copy !req
34. I can't tell you where
I am right now,
Copy !req
35. but suffice it to say we don't
get a lot of snow here.
Copy !req
36. Ha ha.
Copy !req
37. We had a hearty Christmas
dinner tonight
Copy !req
38. and even sang
some carols.
Copy !req
39. I just wanted you to know that I'm safe
this Christmas night.
Copy !req
40. Your friend,
Robert Leckie."
Copy !req
41. Hey, guys,
this Jap likes Raleighs.
Copy !req
42. Yeah, well, there were no Japs
in Guadalcanal the first day.
Copy !req
43. We all know how well
that went.
Copy !req
44. Hey, Leckie, you're not in
"H" company anymore.
Copy !req
45. No, sir, I'm with Lieutenant Larkin in
Battalion Intelligence.
Copy !req
46. He assigned me to any
"H" company patrols.
Copy !req
47. Well, that's Marine Corps
in a nutshell, isn't it, Leckie?
Copy !req
48. They make me an officer and
they put you in Intelligence.
Copy !req
49. Oh, and don't think that because you're
machine guns and mortars,
Copy !req
50. you're gonna get to
skip these patrols.
Copy !req
51. Colonel wants everyone to
grab a rifle and lend a hand.
Copy !req
52. - You understand?
- All: Yes, sir.
Copy !req
53. Good.
Copy !req
54. Still chewing gum.
You gotta give him that.
Copy !req
55. He's the same as
he ever was.
Copy !req
56. For now.
Copy !req
57. - How's Frenchy?
- Who, Lebec?
Copy !req
58. He was a commando at Dieppe.
Canucks got fucked.
Copy !req
59. I still can't figure out how
the hell a Canadian
Copy !req
60. gets all the way from
the ETO to here.
Copy !req
61. I'm guessin' it
involved a boat.
Copy !req
62. Here's some Jap shrapnel.
Copy !req
63. They must be
around here somewhere.
Copy !req
64. You hold back,
bring up the rear.
Copy !req
65. I was on point.
Copy !req
66. Yeah, you were.
Copy !req
67. And now you're
Tail-End Charlie.
Copy !req
68. Tail-end
son of a bitch.
Copy !req
69. Whoa, it's me.
It's Leckie, it's Leckie, it's Leckie!
Copy !req
70. Jap patrol, four of 'em.
Copy !req
71. I got 'em all.
Copy !req
72. We follow the river down
to the beach,
Copy !req
73. then cut across
to the bivouac.
Copy !req
74. Hey, good work
nailing those Japs.
Copy !req
75. Chow down. Save the cans.
Copy !req
76. Want some of this?
It's basically soup.
Copy !req
77. - Man: Smoking lamps out.
- Smoking lamps out!
Copy !req
78. As if we can smoke
underwater.
Copy !req
79. Smoking lamps out!
Copy !req
80. Japs! They're coming!
Copy !req
81. Move move move!
Copy !req
82. Jesus!
Stand by!
Copy !req
83. - (man shouts)
- (Japanese soldiers scream)
Copy !req
84. Now!
Copy !req
85. Leckie, go to
the Intelligence tent!
Copy !req
86. If we get overrun,
burn it!
Copy !req
87. Up to the line!
Copy !req
88. Up up, let's go!
Copy !req
89. Move move move!
Copy !req
90. Move it on left! Let's go!
Copy !req
91. Yeah!
Copy !req
92. Cease fire!
Cease fire on the line!
Copy !req
93. Cease fire!
Cease fire on the line!
Copy !req
94. Here you go.
That's the last of it.
Copy !req
95. Let's see if we
can find another one.
Copy !req
96. They got Obie.
Copy !req
97. - Runner: Macklin too.
- (flies buzzing)
Copy !req
98. I tell you, boys, next war there's
gonna be two men missing...
Copy !req
99. me and the MP
they send after me.
Copy !req
100. - Man: Anything else?
- Man #2: Nothing over here.
Copy !req
101. "G" company
took three alive.
Copy !req
102. Well, good for them.
Copy !req
103. It was a banzai suicide attack for
the rest of these guys.
Copy !req
104. Hey, camera.
Copy !req
105. Apparently all the Japs
on this end of the island
Copy !req
106. are running like hell
to Rabaul.
Copy !req
107. They left their sick and
wounded at a camp near here.
Copy !req
108. Another 100 volunteered
for this shit.
Copy !req
109. 100 against 1200.
Copy !req
110. They're either incredibly brave
or incredibly stupid.
Copy !req
111. Or just really
fucking hate us.
Copy !req
112. Martin, take care
of this one.
Copy !req
113. Leckie, Phillips,
check that hut.
Copy !req
114. Gibson,
check the mess area. Go.
Copy !req
115. Go.
Copy !req
116. Shit.
Copy !req
117. Leckie?
Copy !req
118. I'll give you just about
anything for this.
Copy !req
119. I don't even want you
touching it.
Copy !req
120. Fucking rain never ends.
Copy !req
121. Gibson, is he okay?
Copy !req
122. He's just tired.
Copy !req
123. No wonder you guys don't
talk about Guadalcanal.
Copy !req
124. You didn't do anything.
Copy !req
125. Apparently, John Basilone
did everything.
Copy !req
126. - Oh, fuck you.
- We all did shit like that
Copy !req
127. and without all
the grimacing.
Copy !req
128. No, he's back home selling bonds
and dicking blondes
Copy !req
129. while you're still here
in paradise.
Copy !req
130. I gotta drop the kids
off at the pool.
Copy !req
131. Anybody need anything
from the bar?
Copy !req
132. - Dry martini?
- Well, it's not a real bar.
Copy !req
133. Leckie's voice:
"Dear Vera,
Copy !req
134. we haven't seen a Jap
for two weeks now.
Copy !req
135. They got smart and got the hell
out of this godforsaken spot.
Copy !req
136. They're not
our enemy anymore.
Copy !req
137. Now our enemy is
the jungle itself...
Copy !req
138. the jungle and the rain."
Copy !req
139. Ahh, fuck!
Copy !req
140. Gah!
Copy !req
141. Oh!
Fuck fuck!
Copy !req
142. Fuck!
Copy !req
143. Somebody be a good guy
and just fucking shoot me!
Copy !req
144. What the fuck?
Where's my chest?
Copy !req
145. What the...
Copy !req
146. Where the fuck
is my Jap chest?
Copy !req
147. Can I help you, Private?
Copy !req
148. You just borrowing
that, sir?
Copy !req
149. I need it to store
battalion papers.
Copy !req
150. It's my chest, sir.
Copy !req
151. Oh?
Copy !req
152. How so exactly?
Copy !req
153. I can see where you're
going with that, sir.
Copy !req
154. And if some dead Jap wants
to come back and get his chest,
Copy !req
155. he can get it from me.
Copy !req
156. I don't think so, Private.
Copy !req
157. An enlisted man can't
have something like that.
Copy !req
158. It's against regulations.
Copy !req
159. What about the pistol?
Copy !req
160. Using that for
a battalion paperweight, sir?
Copy !req
161. What pistol?
Copy !req
162. Battalion papers, sir?
Copy !req
163. Get out of my tent, Leckie.
Copy !req
164. I'm not in your tent, sir.
Copy !req
165. - (sizzling)
- God damn it.
Copy !req
166. All this water coming down,
you didn't think to cover that up?
Copy !req
167. A live grenade just happens
to roll into his tent.
Copy !req
168. It's a damn shame.
Copy !req
169. - Please shut up.
- This is a dangerous place.
Copy !req
170. Any number of accidents could befall
someone like Lieutenant Larkin.
Copy !req
171. Terrible loss for
our forces overseas.
Copy !req
172. Oh, for God's sakes,
Copy !req
173. coffee is the one goddamn thing we got
to enjoy around here.
Copy !req
174. We just want to
enjoy it in peace.
Copy !req
175. So either kill Larkin
or shut the fuck up.
Copy !req
176. - Man: Can't get the tent stakes in.
- Leckie!
Copy !req
177. - Man #2: Keep hammering.
- That you, Lieutenant Larkin?
Copy !req
178. Out of the rack, now!
Copy !req
179. Aye aye, sir.
Copy !req
180. As of immediately, you are
no longer in Intelligence.
Copy !req
181. Report for clean-up duty
in the officers' mess
Copy !req
182. where you will remain until
I order otherwise.
Copy !req
183. You're the boss, sir.
Copy !req
184. Don't get cute
with me, Leckie.
Copy !req
185. There's something missing
from my tent.
Copy !req
186. Just to be clear, sir,
Copy !req
187. you're punishing me on the suspicion
I may have taken something,
Copy !req
188. the very existence
of which you denied...
Copy !req
189. something that,
if it did exist,
Copy !req
190. would rightfully belong
to me anyway.
Copy !req
191. Enjoy your time in
the galley, Private.
Copy !req
192. Change of pace might
do me some good, sir.
Copy !req
193. You might want to change
your skivvies, Private.
Copy !req
194. It appears you
have pissed yourself.
Copy !req
195. What fucking kind
of Marine
Copy !req
196. pisses himself?
Copy !req
197. Sounds like enuresis.
Copy !req
198. Is there anything you can
give me for it, Doc?
Copy !req
199. Sorry, Leckie,
no magic pill.
Copy !req
200. What do I do?
Copy !req
201. Stay dry.
Copy !req
202. Oh.
That's funny.
Copy !req
203. It's not raining today.
Copy !req
204. Not yet.
Copy !req
205. Lebec! Fuck!
Copy !req
206. That's all I could find.
Copy !req
207. (shivering)
It's okay.
Copy !req
208. After the sweats,
the chills feel so good.
Copy !req
209. I'll get some coffee going.
Copy !req
210. Let's go! The sooner we finish this,
Copy !req
211. the sooner we can
get some rest.
Copy !req
212. What?
Copy !req
213. Read to me, Daddy.
Copy !req
214. "Dear Vera,
Copy !req
215. it finally stopped raining,
Copy !req
216. only making the smell
of rotten coconuts worse.
Copy !req
217. The rats and crabs
have come out of hiding.
Copy !req
218. I've killed more of them
in the past week than I will ever kill Japs.
Copy !req
219. Everyone's sores
have gotten worse
Copy !req
220. along with their dysentery.
Copy !req
221. My buddy Runner
has a bone-cracking bout of malaria.
Copy !req
222. This island has an exotic
name that translated
Copy !req
223. means "the death of hope."
Copy !req
224. Thinking of you always,
Robert."
Copy !req
225. Pavuvu means
"death of hope"?
Copy !req
226. I don't know what
it means
Copy !req
227. and I don't care.
Copy !req
228. Hey, Leckie, your parents ever
send you your dress blues?
Copy !req
229. That joke stopped being funny
a year ago, Hoosier.
Copy !req
230. I just thought you might
want to get spiffed up.
Copy !req
231. - Battalion's holding a lottery.
- What's the prize?
Copy !req
232. - A bullet in the head?
- A ticket home.
Copy !req
233. You did put my name
in here, didn't you?
Copy !req
234. Okay, good luck,
all of you.
Copy !req
235. - "G" company, second platoon...
- Man: That's me!
Copy !req
236. Private Bower!
Copy !req
237. All right, settle down.
Copy !req
238. "H" company, heavy weapons!
Copy !req
239. Private Jackson.
Copy !req
240. "L" company, first platoon!
Copy !req
241. Private Guest!
Copy !req
242. I pulled another crab
out of my hooch.
Copy !req
243. - Yeah?
- It's as big as a mortar.
Copy !req
244. Hey, Leckie, food.
Copy !req
245. (doing odd accent)
Leckie, hot food.
Copy !req
246. Come on, buddy.
You still asleep?
Copy !req
247. Oh, buddy.
Copy !req
248. Has he moved at all yet?
Copy !req
249. Not an inch.
Copy !req
250. - You feelin' better, Conley?
- Swell.
Copy !req
251. Hey, Leckie.
Copy !req
252. I see your enuresis
is acting up.
Copy !req
253. Hey, I got good news:
Copy !req
254. They got a hospital over on Banika a hop,
skip and a jump from here.
Copy !req
255. I'm gonna pull some paper
and you'll be on your way in an hour.
Copy !req
256. All you need is
a week or two...
Copy !req
257. get dry and stay dry.
Copy !req
258. That should do the trick.
You game?
Copy !req
259. Great.
Copy !req
260. I'm gonna go get you
some fresh dungarees.
Copy !req
261. Be right back.
Copy !req
262. Take off your clothes
and put these on.
Copy !req
263. No razor blades.
Copy !req
264. I'll need
your belt too.
Copy !req
265. What do you want me
to do with this?
Copy !req
266. You scared the living shit
out of Ruddiger.
Copy !req
267. He'll probably put in
for a Purple Heart.
Copy !req
268. What am I doing here?
Copy !req
269. It says here you have
enuresis.
Copy !req
270. Why am I in with guys who need to have
their razor blades taken away?
Copy !req
271. The main ward is full.
Copy !req
272. They put overflow with me.
Copy !req
273. It's the navy.
What can you do?
Copy !req
274. Smoke?
Copy !req
275. I'll talk to a specialist
about your urine problem.
Copy !req
276. Until then, it okay if
Ruddiger wakes you up
Copy !req
277. every hour or two
during the night?
Copy !req
278. Give you a chance to get to
the head and stay dry.
Copy !req
279. Sure.
Copy !req
280. Go easy on him.
Copy !req
281. Is that it?
Copy !req
282. That's it.
Copy !req
283. Don't miss dinner.
Pumpkin pie tonight.
Copy !req
284. You, uh, you ever think
about selling this?
Copy !req
285. - No, sir.
- Oh.
Copy !req
286. You get it back
when you leave.
Copy !req
287. Mother of Christ.
Copy !req
288. Where the fuck were you?
Copy !req
289. Hey, you want to keep it down?
People are trying to sleep.
Copy !req
290. Put 'em on.
Copy !req
291. Don't mind Captain Midnight.
He does that most nights.
Copy !req
292. Congratulations.
You passed the test.
Copy !req
293. What test?
Copy !req
294. You actually do suffer
from enuresis.
Copy !req
295. You thought I was lying?
Copy !req
296. Well, you know, a lot of guys
will say just about anything
Copy !req
297. to get a couple of weeks
of clean sheets, burgers
Copy !req
298. and "the pause
that refreshes."
Copy !req
299. Fuck you.
Copy !req
300. What about Captain Midnight?
Is he faking?
Copy !req
301. Who?
Copy !req
302. The guys that paces around
all night flying his plane.
Copy !req
303. Ah, Stanfield.
No.
Copy !req
304. I'd say he's just...
Copy !req
305. exhausted, worn out.
Copy !req
306. That's your medical opinion?
Shit.
Copy !req
307. - I could do your job.
- I bet you could.
Copy !req
308. I get it.
Copy !req
309. Some give and take over hamburgers?
I get it.
Copy !req
310. Okay, Doc,
what's next?
Copy !req
311. Wanna know how old
I was when my mom took me off her tit?
Copy !req
312. I mean, that's the type of shit you
headshrinkers like, right?
Copy !req
313. You wanna know why
I'm in your loony bin.
Copy !req
314. Back home, after you've won
the war for guys like me,
Copy !req
315. I'd be happy to take a run
at shrinking your head...
Copy !req
316. for 20 bucks an hour.
Copy !req
317. But here...
Copy !req
318. all I do here is assess...
Copy !req
319. who can return to
his unit and who can't.
Copy !req
320. So your head is
safe with me.
Copy !req
321. You know, most of the guys
that come through here
Copy !req
322. are simply tired.
Copy !req
323. My guess is you
fall into that category.
Copy !req
324. They murdered sleep.
Copy !req
325. On Guadalcanal, the Japs would send
a bomber in every night.
Copy !req
326. It was mostly just
to keep us awake.
Copy !req
327. On Gloucester,
it was the rain.
Copy !req
328. On Pavuvu, it was just
the fucking fact I was on Pavuvu.
Copy !req
329. For the record, Doc,
I was a freshman in high school
Copy !req
330. when my mom stopped
breastfeeding me.
Copy !req
331. - Do you see that as a problem?
- (laughs)
Copy !req
332. You're a coward!
A fucking coward.
Copy !req
333. Hey hey hey.
Copy !req
334. I'm getting out of your reach,
you fucking shit!
Copy !req
335. - Fucking coward.
- Hey, shh. Hey, shh.
Copy !req
336. You're a dead man.
You fucking shit!
Copy !req
337. (shouting)
Go get Dr. Grant!
Copy !req
338. Right in here, boys.
Copy !req
339. - Here you go.
- Okay.
Copy !req
340. Okay.
Copy !req
341. Wanna put
restraints on him?
Copy !req
342. No no, not necessary.
He'll be out for the night.
Copy !req
343. Okay.
Copy !req
344. Thanks, Leckie.
Copy !req
345. How's your nose?
You all right?
Copy !req
346. I'll be all right.
Copy !req
347. Hey, got a smoke?
Copy !req
348. I ran out.
Copy !req
349. Gibson.
Copy !req
350. Hey.
Copy !req
351. Hey, it's me,
Copy !req
352. Bob Leckie.
Copy !req
353. Hey, Leckie.
Copy !req
354. You know Gibson?
Copy !req
355. We were on
Gloucester together.
Copy !req
356. The 'Canal before that.
Copy !req
357. What's he doing here?
Copy !req
358. Your buddy wanted to get
off Pavuvu and go home.
Copy !req
359. There's nothing crazy
about that.
Copy !req
360. He attempted to
steal a plane to do it.
Copy !req
361. And when they stopped him,
Copy !req
362. he tried to kill himself.
Copy !req
363. I'm fortunate, aren't I?
Copy !req
364. This is as bad
as my war gets.
Copy !req
365. It would take more than
hot water, I'll tell you that.
Copy !req
366. No offense, Doc...
Copy !req
367. I don't think
I like this place.
Copy !req
368. Why not?
Copy !req
369. People see places like
Banika on newsreels,
Copy !req
370. they think this is what
the war is really like.
Copy !req
371. I don't know what
the war is like.
Copy !req
372. Sure you do.
Copy !req
373. You see it in every guy
who comes through here.
Copy !req
374. This isn't
the right place for me.
Copy !req
375. Nothing against all of you,
but I want to get back to my guys
Copy !req
376. before they get sent on
without me.
Copy !req
377. That's not some
crazy thought, is it?
Copy !req
378. Why not just...
Copy !req
379. hang around for, say,
another week?
Copy !req
380. I don't think that would
be healthy for me, Doc.
Copy !req
381. Listen, if you're not
above taking a bribe,
Copy !req
382. that Jap pistol I brought...
Copy !req
383. you can have it.
Copy !req
384. Really?
Copy !req
385. How much?
Copy !req
386. Now it wouldn't be a bribe
if I charged you.
Copy !req
387. It's on the house.
No ammo.
Copy !req
388. Things get crazy around here,
I wouldn't want you killing yourself.
Copy !req
389. That's not my style.
Copy !req
390. I drink
and chase nurses.
Copy !req
391. Why just give me
the pistol?
Copy !req
392. I mean, you must have gone
through a lot to bring it here.
Copy !req
393. Why just give it away?
Copy !req
394. I'm rested, I'm fit...
I want to return to my unit
Copy !req
395. and my friends.
Copy !req
396. Please.
Copy !req
397. Sign the papers, Doc.
Copy !req
398. Five, 10...
Copy !req
399. - Come on, big spender.
- Man #2: Jack.
Copy !req
400. King... king...
Copy !req
401. deuce... seven.
Copy !req
402. Hey, Gib?
Copy !req
403. I wanted to give you these
before I take off.
Copy !req
404. Thanks.
Copy !req
405. They letting you out?
Copy !req
406. I volunteered to leave,
Copy !req
407. actually.
Copy !req
408. Why'd you do that?
Copy !req
409. Eh, want to get back to the guys
before they ship off without me.
Copy !req
410. I don't think they'll
send me back.
Copy !req
411. I sure ain't asking.
Copy !req
412. Gib,
Copy !req
413. you just need a rest.
Copy !req
414. That's all.
Copy !req
415. Just a break from it all.
Copy !req
416. You'll be all right.
Copy !req
417. You think so?
Copy !req
418. On Guadalcanal,
Copy !req
419. I was coming back
from the airfield
Copy !req
420. with a work party.
Copy !req
421. Jap planes came in
Copy !req
422. dropping 500 lb'ers
while we were out in the open.
Copy !req
423. All we could do is
jump into a slit trench and cover up.
Copy !req
424. There was this guy...
Copy !req
425. I didn't know him...
Copy !req
426. he was tucked in
behind me.
Copy !req
427. I could feel
his heart beating,
Copy !req
428. his lungs
fighting for air...
Copy !req
429. and his lips on my back
as he prayed to God to keep him alive.
Copy !req
430. He believed
God would save him.
Copy !req
431. Jesus, I envied him.
Copy !req
432. Thanks for the smokes.
Copy !req
433. There's nothing to do
in here but smoke.
Copy !req
434. Sure.
Copy !req
435. I hope it's quick and
easy for you, Leckie.
Copy !req
436. Jap sniper, maybe.
Copy !req
437. You get nailed in
the first two minutes.
Copy !req
438. No worries about
ending up like me.
