1. Hey, did you hear
what happened?
Copy !req
2. The general went up in the line companies.
A shell got his jeep.
Copy !req
3. He's in the C.P.
getting patched up.
Copy !req
4. I had a general like that in the last war,
General McNair. Remember him?
Copy !req
5. Got hit in Africa
and killed in France.
Copy !req
6. Top brass is supposed to
use their brains.
Copy !req
7. They got too much responsibility taking
chances getting their tails shot off.
Copy !req
8. When you've been in this outfit
a little longer, Buster...
Copy !req
9. you'll find out it takes more
than brains to be a general.
Copy !req
10. You got to have
the guts to lead.
Copy !req
11. - Hello, General.
- Help yourself.
Copy !req
12. - Hi, General.
- Hello, Colonel.
Copy !req
13. What happened to
the 16th Infantry?
Copy !req
14. The line was out, sir.
Finally made contact.
Copy !req
15. Colonel Taylor will
be here any minute.
Copy !req
16. What kind of shape
is the 18th in?
Copy !req
17. We're understrength, sir.
Morale's high, but the ammo's low.
Copy !req
18. Twenty-sixth?
Copy !req
19. We're chewed up too, sir.
Copy !req
20. Danger Forward.
Copy !req
21. General Allen, sir.
Copy !req
22. Yes, sir.
This is Danger 6.
Copy !req
23. Soon as Colonel Taylor gets
here, we're in business, sir.
Copy !req
24. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
25. They're getting jumpy back at army.
Copy !req
26. Hello, Taylor.
Copy !req
27. Hello, General. Got
pinned down on the road.
Copy !req
28. - Sniper got my driver.
- Bad?
Copy !req
29. Dead.
How's the arm, sir?
Copy !req
30. Still on.
Copy !req
31. All right, we've been
ordered to withdraw.
Copy !req
32. The boys upstairs want the whole division
pulled back right away.
Copy !req
33. What do you think our chances
are of ever getting back to this area?
Copy !req
34. It'll be rough, sir.
It means getting across this river.
Copy !req
35. There's a bridge right there at
that point. It's the only exit open.
Copy !req
36. Then we got to get to that bridge, cross
it and blow it up to give us a breather.
Copy !req
37. Once we're reinforced, we'll come back and
hit 'em like they've never been hit before.
Copy !req
38. John, how's the enemy
picture look?
Copy !req
39. Very strong, General.
If I were the enemy...
Copy !req
40. and became aware of your
withdrawal from here
Copy !req
41. to there, I'd start a
full-scale attack.
Copy !req
42. The Reds have got
two armored divisions here...
Copy !req
43. a field division here and elements
of a regiment behind this hill.
Copy !req
44. Now, once we start moving
along this road to the river...
Copy !req
45. the Reds are going to form an iron triangle
that'll trap us and smash us in the gut...
Copy !req
46. unless they didn't know
we were withdrawing.
Copy !req
47. Well, in that case...
Copy !req
48. we'll have to withdraw without the Reds
knowing about it.
Copy !req
49. You should be evacuated, sir.
You're liable to lose your arm.
Copy !req
50. I'm more worried about
losing my division. Now
Copy !req
51. clean it, dress it,
tape it and forget it.
Copy !req
52. Will you hold that, sir?
Copy !req
53. There's only one way we can pull this off.
That's rearguard action.
Copy !req
54. We'll have to put up a front
and fool them.
Copy !req
55. We'll have to make them think
our rearguard is not a delaying action...
Copy !req
56. but a forward outpost
to this division's bivouac.
Copy !req
57. General, the spot is there.
Now, I looked over this terrain yesterday.
Copy !req
58. The hills are steep
on both sides of this pass...
Copy !req
59. and the road narrows down so that
only one tank at a time can get through.
Copy !req
60. All right, if we move down
that road, around that bend...
Copy !req
61. and set up a roadblock
right here at Bayonet Pass...
Copy !req
62. we stand a chance.
Copy !req
63. I suggest we leave
a full regiment to hold the pass...
Copy !req
64. so the enemy won't suspect that
we're pulling back the division.
Copy !req
65. Yes, but what happens to the regiment
after the division is across the river?
Copy !req
66. That might be just as costly for a regiment to try to pull back as a division.
Copy !req
67. We can do it with
a battalion or a company.
Copy !req
68. It should be a small, specially selected
unit of platoon strength.
Copy !req
69. Forty-eight of our toughest,
most experienced combat men.
Copy !req
70. It would mean sacrificing
less men in a gamble...
Copy !req
71. and an easier withdrawal
for the group if successful.
Copy !req
72. In other words,
what you're saying is...
Copy !req
73. if we can make a platoon sound
and look like a regiment, it'll work.
Copy !req
74. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
75. Well, that's it. Order the division
to move out right away.
Copy !req
76. Get me the threes-
Dagwood, Decoy and Dextrose.
Copy !req
77. Chuck?
This is Vic. Hold on.
Copy !req
78. Pete? Hold on.
We're waiting for Dagwood.
Copy !req
79. Carl? Vic.
We're pulling out right away.
Copy !req
80. Dagwood line of departure-
3-9-5-2-3-7.
Copy !req
81. Decoy- 4-9-8-3-2-8.
Copy !req
82. Dextrose- 6-2-7-3-8-4.
Copy !req
83. Yep. They're here now.
Copy !req
84. Nope. No time.
Get them on the road.
Copy !req
85. Somebody's got to get left behind
to get their bayonets wet.
Copy !req
86. It's tough picking out an outfit,
but it's got to be picked.
Copy !req
87. - Colonel Taylor.
- Sir?
Copy !req
88. Pick a platoon
out of your regiment.
Copy !req
89. I know there's nothing dirtier
than a rearguard action...
Copy !req
90. especially at
platoon strength.
Copy !req
91. But in this case, it's 48 men-
unlucky men, maybe-
Copy !req
92. giving 15,000 men a break.
Copy !req
93. - Get going.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
94. All right, let me know
if you need any more ammo.
Copy !req
95. Cover that gun.
Copy !req
96. Dig those mines in deep.
Copy !req
97. Charlie, plant a.50 over there.
To your right!
Copy !req
98. What I don't understand
is why we're on a patrol.
Copy !req
99. I know the enemy is here. I don't need
any proof. I ain't from Missouri.
Copy !req
100. You're from Missouri?
Copy !req
101. Ramirez, you don't know
what's going on half the time.
Copy !req
102. And right now, I don't know what's
going on all the time. Hey, Denno.
Copy !req
103. The sarge likes you.
Copy !req
104. Fix it up for us to go
back to the pass and
Copy !req
105. help the platoon throw
up the roadblock, huh?
Copy !req
106. We got to use our heads and make
these Reds think regiment's behind us.
Copy !req
107. They won't fall
for that kind of mishmash.
Copy !req
108. Hey, Rock, what if they find out
that the regiment ain't sitting behind us?
Copy !req
109. What if they hit us with a lot of guys?
Who's going to hold them back, the platoon?
Copy !req
110. They ain't gonna hit us
with a lot of guys.
Copy !req
111. They're gonna smell us out first,
try and find out our strength.
Copy !req
112. We'll run into some small patrols.
Maybe one joker, maybe two, maybe three.
Copy !req
113. But whatever happens,
we don't want them to find out...
Copy !req
114. we're just a small rearguard
holding a delaying action.
Copy !req
115. - Rearguard? That's us?
- Yep.
Copy !req
116. What is this rearguard?
Copy !req
117. The object of the rearguard is to
check enemy pursuit and harassment...
Copy !req
118. and thus allow the main body
to retire unmolested.
Copy !req
119. - Hey, what did he say?
- He said rearguard.
Copy !req
120. That how you got those two stripes,
Denno, memorizing the book?
Copy !req
121. All right, you guys,
knock it off..
Copy !req
122. Remember, the man on his belly
out here looks like snow.
Copy !req
123. A man standing up
looks like a man.
Copy !req
124. Easy.
Copy !req
125. The minute they spot us,
they'll hit us and run.
Copy !req
126. They won't take any
chances hanging around.
Copy !req
127. We got to make a lot of noise.
We got to sound like a regiment.
Copy !req
128. Hey, look what I found-
dry socks.
Copy !req
129. I smell more people,
real close.
Copy !req
130. Fix bayonets.
Copy !req
131. You heard the man.
Fix your knife.
Copy !req
132. Okay, you guys,
spread out and dig for money.
Copy !req
133. If you don't see anything,
shoot anyway.
Copy !req
134. Denno, that'll be
your hole. Dig.
Copy !req
135. A little to the right.
Hold on. Not yet.
Copy !req
136. That's it. You've got him
balled in the center.
Copy !req
137. Squeeze the trigger.
Take up the slack.
Copy !req
138. You've gotta shoot him.
Now, Denno. In the head.
Copy !req
139. Shoot, Denno.
Shoot him. Shoot.
Copy !req
140. Why can't I kill a man?
What's the matter
Copy !req
141. with me? Why do I freeze
at a single target?
Copy !req
142. I can fire at a lot of them. I can do
anything the rest of the platoon can do.
Copy !req
143. I'm not chicken.
I've got plenty of guts.
Copy !req
144. But why can't I shoot a man?
What's wrong with me?
Copy !req
145. I've got to shoot him.
Squeeze, Denno, squeeze.
Copy !req
146. Congratulations, Denno.
Now you've joined the big fraternity.
Copy !req
147. That was a perfect bull's-eye.
Copy !req
148. All you got to remember
is you're not aiming
Copy !req
149. at a man. You're
aiming at the enemy.
Copy !req
150. Once you're over that hump, you're
a rifleman. And you've been baptized.
Copy !req
151. It'll be a lot easier
from now on. Like spittin'.
Copy !req
152. How are you laying
the antitank mines, Wolowicz?
Copy !req
153. Crazy quilt pattern,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
154. Planting them
way out to that bush.
Copy !req
155. And the antipersonnel mines?
Copy !req
156. Lazy-daisy, sir,
covering this whole area...
Copy !req
157. and both flanks.
Copy !req
158. All you got to do is
breathe on them and boom!
Copy !req
159. The guys better be careful
moving around, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
160. Make a map of this minefield
and be sure and give it to me.
Copy !req
161. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
162. Lonergan.
Copy !req
163. - Sir?
- How many people up there?
Copy !req
164. Nothing, Lieutenant.
Copy !req
165. - Vogl, do you see them?
- Nothing, sir.
Copy !req
166. Lonergan, come on down and get these guys
on the ball. I'm checking on the minefield.
Copy !req
167. We got troubles up here,
Lieutenant.
Copy !req
168. - Commies?
- Sergeant Rock.
Copy !req
169. - What's the beef?
- Planting the 75.
Copy !req
170. Coming up.
Copy !req
171. This is one of the times it ain't funny,
knowing what to do.
Copy !req
172. Toughest rap for an officer,
makin' a decision.
Copy !req
173. You can say that again.
Copy !req
174. Hey, you went to
officer school, didn't you?
Copy !req
175. What happened?
Goofed off there, huh? How?
Copy !req
176. I just figured out I was never cut out
to be a leader of anything.
Copy !req
177. You're a corporal.
Only three guys in this outfit above you.
Copy !req
178. Gibbs, Lonergan and me.
Copy !req
179. Before this mess is over,
you're liable to lead the whole platoon.
Copy !req
180. Takes three months in O.C.S.
Out here it only takes three seconds...
Copy !req
181. to be the number one Joe,
the Ichiban boy.
Copy !req
182. Gibbs, Lonergan and me. We could
stop three bullets just like that.
Copy !req
183. Come off it, Rock.
Copy !req
184. For an old dog face like you that's
bellied from Tunisia to Czechoslovakia...
Copy !req
185. there's no bullet now
that's gonna stop you.
Copy !req
186. Whew! This-
This is some mountain.
Copy !req
187. This ain't no mountain. It's just a hill.
Ain't that right, Whitey?
Copy !req
188. It's sheer rock
with ice hummocks...
Copy !req
189. and a complex
of palisaded ridges...
Copy !req
190. that only an Alpinist would
undertake to ascend frontally.
Copy !req
191. - What'd he say?
- He said it's a hill.
Copy !req
192. Duck!
Copy !req
193. Two hundred. Zero.
Try one for effect.
Copy !req
194. Range- 200. Zero.
Smoke.
Copy !req
195. Shift right, six mils.
Fire for effect.
Copy !req
196. Shift right, six mils.
Fire for effect.
Copy !req
197. All right,
take a break.
Copy !req
198. Medic!
Copy !req
199. - Medic!
- Wheeler!
Copy !req
200. Lieutenant!
I found a cave up here!
Copy !req
201. All right, come on, you guys.
Let's move. Rock found a hole for us.
Copy !req
202. Come on, Jonesy,
move your butt.
Copy !req
203. Haven't you ever been in
a cave before, Sergeant?
Copy !req
204. All right! All right!
Copy !req
205. That's a stalactite
you tried to knock down.
Copy !req
206. Very interesting species.
Copy !req
207. It's been many years since I've seen
such an elongated pendulous.
Copy !req
208. It's probably 2,000 years old.
Copy !req
209. Now they look like icicles,
but most of them are minerals.
Copy !req
210. This is calcite crystals.
Copy !req
211. That is a stalagmite.
The counterpart of a stalactite.
Copy !req
212. Shut up!
Copy !req
213. All right,
you guys... Hey!
Copy !req
214. Hey, now, watch your step in here.
This place is full of...
Copy !req
215. Rocks!
Copy !req
216. And there's an ice pond
here too.
Copy !req
217. Come on. Let's see
how far back this goes.
Copy !req
218. But, Sergeant, there's usually a chasm
at the end of an ice pool.
Copy !req
219. Unless you want Denno to suddenly
become the new squad leader.
Copy !req
220. How about it, Denno?
Copy !req
221. There's a drop down there.
Copy !req
222. Don't anybody fall in, 'cause ain't nobody
gonna pull nobody out.
Copy !req
223. All right, you guys,
get that ammo out of here.
Copy !req
224. Take all that stuff.
Get it around the back.
Copy !req
225. - Take that mortar too.
- Sarge, I don't like my hole.
Copy !req
226. Oh, Bigmouth
doesn't like his hole.
Copy !req
227. But there's a great one
way up there.
Copy !req
228. - Oh, there's a great one way up there?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
229. I'll tell you what, Bigmouth.
There's a great one way up there.
Copy !req
230. Now you get out there and get in it. Wait a minute. Take some of this ammo with you.
Copy !req
231. Sarge, what's eating him?
Copy !req
232. - What's your name?
- Bulchek.
Copy !req
233. Bulchek, huh? Okay, Bulchek,
help him with the ammunition.
Copy !req
234. Bulchek? Is that a name?
All right, come on. Let's go.
Copy !req
235. - It's nice layout here, Lieutenant?
- Yeah, not bad.
Copy !req
236. Except for ricochets, sir.
Copy !req
237. The scientific principles of ricochet
can be tactically utilized by the enemy...
Copy !req
238. because the bullet
will be torn and jagged...
Copy !req
239. by its contact with the walls
and the rocks and the roof.
Copy !req
240. That scratch you got must be
making you run off at the mouth.
Copy !req
241. - Why don't you have the medic patch it up?
- I took care of it.
Copy !req
242. I was quite a medical student
in my day.
Copy !req
243. Now, if they fire anything in here
that will strike off that limestone...
Copy !req
244. or that calcium carbonate,
the ricochet-
Copy !req
245. There goes Mr. Belvedere again.
Knows everything.
Copy !req
246. You ought to be
a general.
Copy !req
247. - Well, as a matter of fact-
- Save it! Rock.
Copy !req
248. Yeah, nice layout here.
Copy !req
249. Yeah. We got a field of fire over
the roadblock and the pass.
Copy !req
250. Yeah. This will give us
an edge on them.
Copy !req
251. - See that hummock over there?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
252. They'll probably try and
work a mortar in behind it.
Copy !req
253. Yeah, or a buffalo gun.
Copy !req
254. Yeah, could be.
To get one smack in the cave...
Copy !req
255. they'd have to plant an A.T.
gun right in that...
Copy !req
256. Keep it there!
Denno, cover me!
Copy !req
257. Hey, Vogl!
You guys asleep up there?
Copy !req
258. You want my squad
to cover both hills?
Copy !req
259. We didn't see nobody.
Copy !req
260. Lonergan, you know
that second squad of yours?
Copy !req
261. That's your squad.
Well, they're for the birds.
Copy !req
262. - How many people up there?
- Only one. Only one.
Copy !req
263. You want to know something else?
That Vogl? Nothing!
Copy !req
264. Knock it off,
will you, Rock?
Copy !req
265. Now listen, Vogl!
Keep those monkeys on the ball!
Copy !req
266. Take a look around!
Copy !req
267. Anybody stop one up there?
Copy !req
268. Yeah. One man.
Copy !req
269. - Bad?
- Dead.
Copy !req
270. Hey, Lieutenant! I think we ought
to plant a B.A.R. over by that hill!
Copy !req
271. We got no lieutenant!
Copy !req
272. Strip him of everything
we can use!
Copy !req
273. Roll him up in a blanket,
bury him!
Copy !req
274. And mark him!
Copy !req
275. There are only three guys
above you- Gibbs, Lonergan and me.
Copy !req
276. And now there are only two.
Copy !req
277. Hiya, Harv. Happy in your work, Harv?
Copy !req
278. What's the matter? This is better than
that "C" Company in the 17th Infantry.
Copy !req
279. What are you beefing about?
Copy !req
280. You're getting experience,
aren't you?
Copy !req
281. Hey, you, you call that cover?
Belly down. More.
Copy !req
282. Get some more ammo.
How you doin', Irish?
Copy !req
283. Any more of those Commies
hit this minefield...
Copy !req
284. they'll make enough noise
to wake up half of Moscow.
Copy !req
285. Plant a couple more of those
trip flares over there.
Copy !req
286. Yes, sir...
Copy !req
287. What are you, a wise guy?
Don't "sir" me.
Copy !req
288. I didn't mean anything by it, Sergeant.
They told me you was acting platoon leader.
Copy !req
289. I am platoon leader.
Copy !req
290. That don't mean I have to sweat out a looey
getting killed just to crack an order.
Copy !req
291. I've seen these looeys come,
and I've seen them go.
Copy !req
292. Lieutenant Gibbs
was different.
Copy !req
293. Yeah, he was a young guy, sure,
but I don't hold that against him.
Copy !req
294. He was more like a sergeant.
He was on the ball.
Copy !req
295. - Now you move your butt out of here.
- Yes, sir.
Copy !req
296. - What's eating him?
- You know those sergeants.
Copy !req
297. All alike.
Copy !req
298. Frustrated
second lieutenants.
Copy !req
299. Making noises like officers.
Copy !req
300. He's Ichiban now.
Copy !req
301. Big deal!
Copy !req
302. Number one boy.
Copy !req
303. Very funny.
Copy !req
304. Bigmouth, climb out.
Climb!
Copy !req
305. So I'm frustrated, huh?
Copy !req
306. Look, Bigmouth, that is
the general direction.
Copy !req
307. Get out there
about a hundred yards...
Copy !req
308. keep your eyes open and stay there
till I send a relief.
Copy !req
309. If you see any people that don't look
exactly friendly, send up one flare.
Copy !req
310. If they got tanks,
send up two flares.
Copy !req
311. Oh, and, Bigmouth, be careful of the
minefield. I'd hate to lose you, all right?
Copy !req
312. Move out, Bigmouth.
Copy !req
313. Hey, you guys,
on your feet.
Copy !req
314. Get out there
and spread the word.
Copy !req
315. One flare, people.
Two flares, tanks.
Copy !req
316. - Tanks?
- You mean we're fighting tanks?
Copy !req
317. Spread the word.
Copy !req
318. Hey, you guys.
Okay up there?
Copy !req
319. They told me this was
going to be a police action.
Copy !req
320. Why didn't they send cops?
Copy !req
321. Sarge.
Copy !req
322. I've been watching you, Sarge.
I've been watching you out there...
Copy !req
323. and you came close to stepping in
some of the land mines.
Copy !req
324. - Come on, Fitz. Will you cut out worrying?
- I mean it, Sarge.
Copy !req
325. You know, I got used to Lieutenant Gibbs,
and he got it just like that.
Copy !req
326. So?
Copy !req
327. Well, I feel like I'm a bad luck piece
'cause I'm getting kind of used to you.
Copy !req
328. All right,
kill that fire!
Copy !req
329. I thought the smoke
would go down that drop.
Copy !req
330. I cook the hot chow.
Copy !req
331. - I just want to get some heat.
- Well, kill it!
Copy !req
332. Bunch up. Heat will
come from your bodies.
Copy !req
333. Wolowicz,
did you find Lemchek?
Copy !req
334. Yeah. You were right, Corporal.
He was on the 30.
Copy !req
335. - He's had it.
- Yeah. What about my helmet?
Copy !req
336. Oh, I couldn't find yours.
Copy !req
337. Hey, how come we weren't
issued those stoves?
Copy !req
338. You're too young
for this kind of luxury.
Copy !req
339. You looted that in
Germany, didn't you, Rock?
Copy !req
340. Yep. Aachen.
Copy !req
341. - Sarge, you know the fellow you got?
- Yeah. Which one?
Copy !req
342. The one that got
Lieutenant Gibbs.
Copy !req
343. A funny thing
about that joker.
Copy !req
344. When I stuck him,
he made a booming sound.
Copy !req
345. - Yeah, like a bass drum.
- Yeah. How'd you know?
Copy !req
346. Well, I heard it.
Copy !req
347. - What about him, Wolowicz?
- He had an extra pair of shoes on him...
Copy !req
348. just like my old
bowling sneakers.
Copy !req
349. Let's see.
Copy !req
350. Wolowicz, did he have
any dry socks on him?
Copy !req
351. I never could figure them Chinese.
Copy !req
352. Well, you know what I heard?
I heard they're
Copy !req
353. doped up before they're
sent into charges.
Copy !req
354. Oh, it isn't a question of opiates.
Now as a student of atavism-
Copy !req
355. What a crock! Mr. Belvedere
knows everything. Ha! I need a fumigator.
Copy !req
356. You've been around
a lot, Whitey.
Copy !req
357. When you get out, are you going on another
safari to Africa in your private plane?
Copy !req
358. No. All I want to do
is roll a couple of lines.
Copy !req
359. You mean, you like to bowl?
Copy !req
360. Wolowicz, there's nothing like
the thrill of a good, clean strike.
Copy !req
361. Good, clean strike.
Instead of pulling that
Copy !req
362. dope's leg, why don't
you drop dead, Whitey.
Copy !req
363. - Give your mouth a 10-minute break.
- Is that an order, Corporal?
Copy !req
364. If you're looking for a fight,
there's a lot of people outside.
Copy !req
365. Let's go.
Copy !req
366. - Who's gonna follow who?
- Meaning what?
Copy !req
367. - Whatever you think it means, Corporal.
- I think I'll slap your ears in.
Copy !req
368. There they are.
Copy !req
369. You bucking for his stripes? You want him
to get busted for taking a poke at you?
Copy !req
370. 'Cause if he does, I didn't see a thing.
I'm snow-blind.
Copy !req
371. What's the matter with you, Mainotes? We've
got a good cover here. Ain't you happy?
Copy !req
372. I just don't
like that guy.
Copy !req
373. Well, then why don't you
get a transfer?
Copy !req
374. They got the buddy system now.
Copy !req
375. If you got a buddy, they'll put you
both together in the same outfit.
Copy !req
376. I got a buddy
in Pittsburgh.
Copy !req
377. She's a blonde and operates
her own pool hall.
Copy !req
378. Tell me, Sarge, why were we picked
for this job?
Copy !req
379. Regiment's saving the cream
for the rougher stuff ahead.
Copy !req
380. Cream? Well, what are we,
skimmed milk?
Copy !req
381. So far,
we've just been lucky.
Copy !req
382. They blew them horns
to make us jumpy.
Copy !req
383. They knocked us off the hill
to see if we'd answer back with artillery.
Copy !req
384. They shellacked the pass
hoping we'd start a rout.
Copy !req
385. But we're still in luck.
Know why?
Copy !req
386. 'Cause they think
we're the whole regiment.
Copy !req
387. So far, we got them fooled.
Copy !req
388. I wonder how long it'll be
before they get wise to us.
Copy !req
389. When you hear a tank, that's the main
event. That means they're wise to us.
Copy !req
390. A tank means they'll hit us with
more tanks and a lot of people.
Copy !req
391. A tank means they'll push through us
like we were a paper bag.
Copy !req
392. So until you hear one,
take it easy.
Copy !req
393. We'll each take
two hours on O.P.
Copy !req
394. When I come off, it'll be time
to pull out for the bridge.
Copy !req
395. - Who's relieving Ramirez?
- Denno.
Copy !req
396. So you're putting
the corporal to work, huh?
Copy !req
397. Corporal's got to be able to do
something besides draw extra pay.
Copy !req
398. How did you get those stripes, Denno?
Dog rob for the colonel?
Copy !req
399. Only three things you got to worry about in
the infantry-your rifle and your two feet.
Copy !req
400. Pull off your boots and your socks.
Both pairs.
Copy !req
401. Come on. Bunch your canal boats
together like bananas.
Copy !req
402. Massaging's good
for beetle crushers.
Copy !req
403. Yours is purple, Denno.
Copy !req
404. Next, it'll be blue,
then trench foot, then frostbite.
Copy !req
405. Then they got to be chopped,
all 10 of them.
Copy !req
406. You've got to rub
harder than that. Here.
Copy !req
407. All we've got to worry about's where the
Reds are gonna hit us from in the morning.
Copy !req
408. If we can draw their fire without
losing a guy to locate their guns...
Copy !req
409. that's using our noodle.
Copy !req
410. - How's that?
- I don't feel anything.
Copy !req
411. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
412. - Feel that?
- No.
Copy !req
413. Doc, come here.
Copy !req
414. Take a look
at Denno's foot.
Copy !req
415. You got it bad,
Corporal.
Copy !req
416. Hey, you better start
stomping around on that, Denno.
Copy !req
417. Get the blood circulating.
Copy !req
418. That one always
did go to sleep on me.
Copy !req
419. Let's hit the sack.
Copy !req
420. Whatever made you
stay in the army?
Copy !req
421. You woke me up
just to ask me that?
Copy !req
422. Well, I've been meaning to ask you,
but I just never got the chance.
Copy !req
423. Get some shut-eye before those
people start hitting us again.
Copy !req
424. - You want to gab, huh?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
425. That's something I been trying
figure out myself for a long, long time.
Copy !req
426. What makes a guy
stay in the army?
Copy !req
427. I wish I knew the answer.
Copy !req
428. Some of us 'cause
we're dumb, I guess.
Copy !req
429. Some are poor.
Copy !req
430. Some are a little lazy.
Copy !req
431. Some of us got some vanity.
Know what I mean?
Copy !req
432. Some of us old pros stay in even when we
know that after the fighting's over...
Copy !req
433. some of us will rest in peace
and rot in hospitals.
Copy !req
434. Even when we know all that,
we stay in 'cause-
Copy !req
435. I don't know.
It's hard to explain.
Copy !req
436. Maybe it's something
that just happens to you.
Copy !req
437. Maybe it's the pension.
Copy !req
438. I wish I knew the answer.
Copy !req
439. I don't want to be a corporal.
I want to get busted.
Copy !req
440. You what?
Copy !req
441. I always wanted to lead.
Copy !req
442. When I was in officers' school,
I was head of the class.
Copy !req
443. They said I had the makings of a leader-
the education, the brains...
Copy !req
444. the knack of solving
tactical situations.
Copy !req
445. And one day, we had a problem with
live shells. We had to knock out a tank.
Copy !req
446. There was a red flag there warning
not to send any men in that area.
Copy !req
447. I was in command
of the platoon.
Copy !req
448. I don't know
what happened, Rock.
Copy !req
449. The minute that stuff
started flying through
Copy !req
450. the air and I had to
deploy my squad...
Copy !req
451. something happened
right in the pit of my gut.
Copy !req
452. I got panicky and I sent a squad
to the danger zone.
Copy !req
453. Four men were hit,
one seriously.
Copy !req
454. I was there when
they amputated his leg.
Copy !req
455. They gave me another chance.
Again I got into
Copy !req
456. a sweat the minute I
had to give orders.
Copy !req
457. Then they found out
what I'd known all the time.
Copy !req
458. I can take an order.
Copy !req
459. I can't give one.
Copy !req
460. Some men are afraid of high places,
some are afraid of water...
Copy !req
461. and some are afraid to be responsible
for the deaths of a lot of other guys.
Copy !req
462. That's me, Rock.
Copy !req
463. I don't want to
carry that load.
Copy !req
464. Yeah. Well, a lot of guys
sweat out leading an outfit.
Copy !req
465. I mean, nobody goes out
looking for responsibility.
Copy !req
466. Sometimes you find it whether
you're looking for it or not.
Copy !req
467. But I'm not looking for it.
It takes brains to be a leader.
Copy !req
468. I'm just smart enough
not to want any part of it.
Copy !req
469. Even a two-striper like you,
you'll find out.
Copy !req
470. It takes more than brains
to be a corporal.
Copy !req
471. You got to have
the guts to lead.
Copy !req
472. Look, I'll do my job.
Copy !req
473. It's just... I don't want to
lead, that's all.
Copy !req
474. Hey, take it easy.
I ain't promoting you.
Copy !req
475. Lonergan and me,
we'll be around for a long time.
Copy !req
476. Ain't no burp gun fast enough
to cut down an old doggy like me.
Copy !req
477. If anything happened to you,
Rock, I'd pull out.
Copy !req
478. Look, don't suck around nobody
in the army for apron strings.
Copy !req
479. That's all you got
to depend on.
Copy !req
480. You take care of her,
and she'll take care of you.
Copy !req
481. You're over the hump.
You're a rifleman.
Copy !req
482. You're wrong, Rock.
Copy !req
483. I didn't shoot that Red.
Jonesy did.
Copy !req
484. Oh, well, there's
a lot of Reds out there.
Copy !req
485. You'll get plenty of chances.
Copy !req
486. - One flare.
- One flare dead ahead.
Copy !req
487. Hey, Rock! People!
Copy !req
488. Commie medics pulling
back their casualties.
Copy !req
489. Just because they shoot our medics
don't mean we have to shoot theirs.
Copy !req
490. Hey, down there!
Hold your fire!
Copy !req
491. Denno, come here.
Copy !req
492. Go on up
and relieve Ramirez.
Copy !req
493. Hey, you jokers, did you hear me?
I said hold your fire!
Copy !req
494. Denno. Lonergan.
Do you see anything?
Copy !req
495. - No. Nothing.
- Vogl?
Copy !req
496. - No. Nothing.
- Vogl?
Copy !req
497. - Vogl, you see anything?
- Nothing.
Copy !req
498. Now, why do they blow
them bugles?
Copy !req
499. Sometimes, it's to herald
their armed approach.
Copy !req
500. Mostly, it's to confuse and frighten us.
It's a psychological trick.
Copy !req
501. Hey, they're blowing "Taps."
That's our own call. They stole our music!
Copy !req
502. No, that's not our "Taps."
That's a Chinese reassembly call. Listen.
Copy !req
503. It ends on the same three
mournful notes.
Copy !req
504. I don't like that tune!
Copy !req
505. Let's stop the music!
Copy !req
506. Wait a minute. They want
to suck us out there.
Copy !req
507. Whitey, you know
all about them horns, don't you?
Copy !req
508. - Yeah, Sarge, I do.
- Yeah?
Copy !req
509. - You go out there and get me one.
- Me?
Copy !req
510. Sure, Mr. Belvedere.
You know all about everything.
Copy !req
511. Wait a minute. That's one thing
I don't know anything about.
Copy !req
512. - I'll go with you, Whitey.
- Okay, both of you. Move out!
Copy !req
513. Hey, you guys going out
to relieve Bigmouth?
Copy !req
514. No. We've got to get a Chinese bugle.
You got one on you?
Copy !req
515. Look, wise guy, that minefield
starts right here.
Copy !req
516. I can walk through it
with my eyes closed.
Copy !req
517. Some other time.
Copy !req
518. No. I'm on the level about getting
that Chinese bugle.
Copy !req
519. - Say, Harvey?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
520. How'd you like to make
a fast five dollar bill?
Copy !req
521. How would you like-
Copy !req
522. Save it.
Come on.
Copy !req
523. I'm beginning to know
that tune.
Copy !req
524. I made that up myself.
Copy !req
525. Hey, wise guy, are you
a full-blooded Cherokee?
Copy !req
526. That's what they tell me.
Copy !req
527. All right, you guys, relax.
We got O.P.'s all over the place.
Copy !req
528. Whose coffee is this?
Copy !req
529. - Who belongs to this coffee?
- Not me.
Copy !req
530. - Oh, thanks, Rock.
- Here.
Copy !req
531. You wanted it hot. Who's next?
Copy !req
532. Hey, Doc, need any
hot water over there?
Copy !req
533. Yeah. I want to shave away
some hair near this wound.
Copy !req
534. - Here, take mine, Doc.
- Not with the coffee.
Copy !req
535. Get him down.
Copy !req
536. The kid had a tough time taking it away
from him. He didn't want to give it up.
Copy !req
537. We couldn't find Bigmouth.
Copy !req
538. Lonergan! We got one
of those commie bugles up here!
Copy !req
539. Keep those guys quiet
down there for a minute!
Copy !req
540. All right,
who can play a horn?
Copy !req
541. I'm no Gabriel.
Copy !req
542. Whitey does enough
blowing for a regiment.
Copy !req
543. Blow it!
Copy !req
544. Now those little weasels are running around
trying to figure out what's happening.
Copy !req
545. Lonergan!
Copy !req
546. That ought to keep 'em confused for
a while, huh? Psychological warfare.
Copy !req
547. Yeah, yeah. Real psychological.
Who's doin' all that blowin' up there?
Copy !req
548. Whitey! Hey, he says he didn't
see Bigmouth out there anywhere!
Copy !req
549. Hey, Lonergan!
Copy !req
550. - You goin' out after him?
- I sent him. I'll bring him back.
Copy !req
551. You take over, Rock!
Copy !req
552. That's psychological.
Copy !req
553. - And where do you think you're going?
- I'm going with you, Sarge.
Copy !req
554. Oh, you are? You said so
yourself you're bad luck, didn't you?
Copy !req
555. What are you trying to
do, get me killed out
Copy !req
556. there? Besides, I'm
beginning to like you too.
Copy !req
557. - He needs blood, fast.
- Well, what are you waiting for?
Copy !req
558. We only had six bottles
for the platoon.
Copy !req
559. A shell got them
at the roadblock.
Copy !req
560. Will it match?
Copy !req
561. Yeah, same type.
Copy !req
562. Bigmouth?
Copy !req
563. Bigmouth, wake up.
It's Lonergan.
Copy !req
564. - Where was I hit?
- Oh, you're hit?
Copy !req
565. You wasn't hit.
You're frozen.
Copy !req
566. Here's your piece.
Copy !req
567. Can you belly? All right, come on.
Let's belly.
Copy !req
568. Gee, Sarge.
Copy !req
569. - I bet they have to cut my legs off.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
570. How you feeling?
You think you can make it now?
Copy !req
571. - Yeah.
- You think you can walk?
Copy !req
572. - I'll try.
- Huh? Okay. Come on, let's try it.
Copy !req
573. All right, kid, get on your feet.
Come on, hurry up.
Copy !req
574. Now, come on. Stamp on your feet.
That's it. That circulates the blood.
Copy !req
575. Stamp on 'em!
Copy !req
576. Shove off!
Copy !req
577. Hey! Where's the sketch
of the minefield?
Copy !req
578. I gave it to Lieutenant Gibbs.
Copy !req
579. I took it off
the lieutenant.
Copy !req
580. - Good. Give it to me.
- Lonergan's got it.
Copy !req
581. Oh, that's great.
Lonergan's lying out there
Copy !req
582. hit, smack in the middle
of the minefield.
Copy !req
583. I can point out where I buried 'em.
Copy !req
584. Well, what are you all
staring for?
Copy !req
585. You know who's got
to go out and get him.
Copy !req
586. Keep him bundled up, Wheeler.
Copy !req
587. And see if you can clean up
this mess without passing out.
Copy !req
588. Medic.
Copy !req
589. That puts you
in charge of the platoon, Rock.
Copy !req
590. Lonergan's in command
as long as he's alive.
Copy !req
591. Come on, Denno. Let's go
cover the noncombatant.
Copy !req
592. Medic or no medic, I wouldn't
go in that minefield for nobody.
Copy !req
593. Don't nobody come out to get me,
you hear? Nobody. That's an order.
Copy !req
594. I'll get him.
Copy !req
595. Okay, Denno. Anything to
keep Lonergan alive, huh?
Copy !req
596. Okay, go ahead.
Copy !req
597. I didn't know Denno
had that kind of guts.
Copy !req
598. That's why he's a corporal.
Copy !req
599. Denno, I'm warning you.
Get back. You'll blow us both up.
Copy !req
600. Get your hand off.
It's an open wound!
Copy !req
601. What are you trying to do,
give me blood poison?
Copy !req
602. Put your head down.
All right. Up.
Copy !req
603. All right, kid.
Take it easy.
Copy !req
604. Follow your own footprints.
Copy !req
605. Take it easy, Denno.
Steady, kid.
Copy !req
606. Watch that open wound,
will ya?
Copy !req
607. Wheeler, get to
work on him!
Copy !req
608. - What's the matter?
- I'm no doctor.
Copy !req
609. You're a medic.
Copy !req
610. No, I-I'm a litter-bearer.
I don't know any-
Copy !req
611. Wheeler, you're a disgrace to the medics.
You, you're no medic.
Copy !req
612. You're a chicken-wired,
chicken-hearted jerk!
Copy !req
613. All you had to do was make a gesture
to help him. That's all you had to do.
Copy !req
614. It was good try, Denno, but you're out
of luck. You were carrying a dead man.
Copy !req
615. Jonesy, strip him of everything we can
use. Gimme the sketch of the minefield.
Copy !req
616. A lot of good
that's gonna do.
Copy !req
617. Roll him up in a blanket,
and bury him.
Copy !req
618. And mark him!
Copy !req
619. Only one to go.
Copy !req
620. That's great, Whitey.
Copy !req
621. Hey, Whitey, that louses
up your perfect 300.
Copy !req
622. Hey, Whitey, let's-let's
see you roll in Brooklyn.
Copy !req
623. Say, pin boy.
Set 'em up.
Copy !req
624. It's like anything else, Wolowicz.
Women, liquor, horses.
Copy !req
625. As long as you know how to
handle them, you can beat them.
Copy !req
626. All right. Here. Let's see you
knock down one pin.
Copy !req
627. With this guy, I think we better
set 'em up in the gutter.
Copy !req
628. - Yeah, to make sure that he hits.
- Don't forget to let go of the ball.
Copy !req
629. He couldn't bowl his way
out of a paperbag.
Copy !req
630. - Oh, what a guy.
- Send him back to the kitchen.
Copy !req
631. He's a rush a line Joe.
Copy !req
632. You bowl just like you shoot.
That's lousy.
Copy !req
633. - Let's see how good you are.
- I think he stinks.
Copy !req
634. Hey, Denno, get me the helmets
and weapons of those dead guys.
Copy !req
635. It worked.
Copy !req
636. We spotted their gun.
You guys set?
Copy !req
637. Our tongues
are hanging out.
Copy !req
638. 3-5-0, right.
Copy !req
639. 3-5-0, right.
Copy !req
640. You knocked out their gun.
Copy !req
641. How about those people,
tried to get through?
Copy !req
642. There's lots of them there...
Copy !req
643. but they're all sayonara.
Copy !req
644. Send up Bigmouth, Zablocki,
Griff and Bulchek from the third squad.
Copy !req
645. That means they'll probe
every area with mortar.
Copy !req
646. How do you figure that?
Copy !req
647. Well, they just scouted
with mortar, didn't they?
Copy !req
648. Or did they send out people first?
It means they got plenty of mortars.
Copy !req
649. That was smart drawing fire
with guys made out of snow.
Copy !req
650. - Plenty smart.
- Yeah, you build a good snowman, Jonesy.
Copy !req
651. Yeah, you going to make statues
when you get out, Jonesy?
Copy !req
652. - I'm staying in.
- You like the army that much?
Copy !req
653. It's better than anything
else I can think of.
Copy !req
654. Everybody's always worried about
coming out of this.
Copy !req
655. - Who cares?
- I care.
Copy !req
656. You'd care too, Mainotes, if you
had a reason for coming out of this.
Copy !req
657. All right, knock it off,
and go back to the cave.
Copy !req
658. Go on, Fitz.
I'll be right with you.
Copy !req
659. Denno. Come here.
Copy !req
660. Like ice. Look, Denno,
I know you're a brave Joe.
Copy !req
661. It took guts to go
down there and get Lonergan...
Copy !req
662. no matter what
your personal reason was.
Copy !req
663. But it takes more than guts
to stay alive in this business.
Copy !req
664. You've got to get over
that big hump.
Copy !req
665. There's eight bullets in that clip.
That means eight dead Reds.
Copy !req
666. I ain't asking you to
use a clip to kill eight men.
Copy !req
667. I just want you to kill one man,
even if you've gotta use the whole clip.
Copy !req
668. But kill him!
Copy !req
669. Now, get your tail
down there.
Copy !req
670. When do we get a crack
in that cave, Rock?
Copy !req
671. Yeah, we're putting in for
transfer to your squad.
Copy !req
672. Shut up!
Copy !req
673. You guys want to move in that cave,
you let me know at 9:00...
Copy !req
674. and I'll hand it over to you,
swimming pool and all.
Copy !req
675. - What's eating him?
- You ask him!
Copy !req
676. Never mind asking anything.
I'm telling you.
Copy !req
677. You guys better
stay on the ball.
Copy !req
678. These Commies take 10 hours
to belly 10 yards without being seen.
Copy !req
679. And don't relax for a minute, or you'll
wake up with a bayonet in your back.
Copy !req
680. They move in fast.
They move out faster.
Copy !req
681. It'll happen all of a sudden,
without a sound.
Copy !req
682. Keep all points covered.
Copy !req
683. - I told you he was favoring 'em.
- What's behind that crack?
Copy !req
684. Some of the guys think you're
playing footsies with your own squad...
Copy !req
685. - since you took over the platoon.
- Oh, some of the guys, huh?
Copy !req
686. You see that?
That's Jonesy's ear.
Copy !req
687. Got shot off a couple
of minutes ago.
Copy !req
688. Hang onto it to remind you
how I'm playing footsies with my squad.
Copy !req
689. So that's Jonesy's ear.
Copy !req
690. - Are you sure?
- Sure, I'm sure.
Copy !req
691. Hey, ain't
that right, Fitz?
Copy !req
692. Sure.
Copy !req
693. Hey. Fitz, did you hear
him say he smells 'em?
Copy !req
694. - Yep, that's what I heard.
- Well, that did it.
Copy !req
695. - Is that bad?
- Bad? You know, they used to say...
Copy !req
696. an Indian could put his ear
to the ground and hear the enemy...
Copy !req
697. but Rock,
he uses his nose.
Copy !req
698. He sticks it up in the air and...
Copy !req
699. - he can smell a Red a mile away.
- I guess some guys are born with it.
Copy !req
700. No, it's a mixture
of training and instinct.
Copy !req
701. I used to have a nose
for winners at the track.
Copy !req
702. What time is it?
Copy !req
703. It's a little
after 7:00.
Copy !req
704. We'll be moving out soon.
Copy !req
705. Hey, Fitz.
Copy !req
706. Griff. Are ya sure you don't
see anything out there?
Copy !req
707. Look, Rock, we got
eight eyes up here...
Copy !req
708. and there ain't an inch of snow
we don't know now by heart.
Copy !req
709. Yeah. Well, the smell's getting stronger.
Don't relax for a minute.
Copy !req
710. Bulchek didn't mean that crack about
your squad. W-We were just riding you.
Copy !req
711. Forget it.
Copy !req
712. - How's Jonesy?
- Okay.
Copy !req
713. I got it here
in my pocket, Rock.
Copy !req
714. I thought maybe
they could graft it on.
Copy !req
715. Throw it away.
It's tore up too much.
Copy !req
716. Vogl?
You asleep up there?
Copy !req
717. Between you and this quiet,
Rock, you're getting us jumpy up here.
Copy !req
718. You got a reason to be.
They're so close now they stink.
Copy !req
719. What're you trying to do?
Take 10 years off us? We don't see nobody.
Copy !req
720. - Hey, Griff.
- There's nobody out there, Rock.
Copy !req
721. We keep lookin' any harder,
we'll get snow-blind.
Copy !req
722. I been through this before. There's
something cookin' on that Commie stove.
Copy !req
723. Nobody out there, Rock.
Copy !req
724. I think I spotted
a movement out there...
Copy !req
725. about 200 yards to the left
of that little hill.
Copy !req
726. It looks like a Chinese hat.
Do you see it?
Copy !req
727. Are you looking?
Copy !req
728. Griff, can you hear me?
Copy !req
729. Griff, what's the matter with you?
Copy !req
730. Griff,
what's the matter with you?
Copy !req
731. Hey, Griff...
Copy !req
732. Do you smell anything?
Copy !req
733. What does he mean it stinks?
I don't smell anything.
Copy !req
734. Are you looking?
Copy !req
735. Griff!
Copy !req
736. What's the matter
with that radio?
Copy !req
737. Denno, I'm going up
to check on Griff.
Copy !req
738. Let's go!
Copy !req
739. Medic! Medic!
Copy !req
740. Hey, stay away from back there.
There's a deep drop there.
Copy !req
741. I've been hit.
Copy !req
742. - Start cuttin'.
- I can't cut it myself.
Copy !req
743. Sure you can.
Here's your chance to be a real medic.
Copy !req
744. At least they can't
hit us in here.
Copy !req
745. You know what I think? I think they're
trying to knock off that top ledge.
Copy !req
746. And then they'll drop one
on the lower ledge...
Copy !req
747. and hope that the fragments
get us inside.
Copy !req
748. That's what I think.
Copy !req
749. What's the idea? You crazy?
You want to blow your top?
Copy !req
750. Well, go out there
and blow it.
Copy !req
751. Haven't you ever
heard of telepathy?
Copy !req
752. - Telepathy?
- Telepathy.
Copy !req
753. It means if you think
something hard enough,
Copy !req
754. the thought waves
go through the air.
Copy !req
755. Sometimes they go this way.
Sometimes they go this way.
Copy !req
756. Sometimes they go
straight up.
Copy !req
757. If you think hard enough,
the thought wave...
Copy !req
758. is gonna hit them up there,
and they'll do it.
Copy !req
759. All right!
So I'll think of dames.
Copy !req
760. They must've read your mind, Borcellino.
They're trying to hit that ledge.
Copy !req
761. Let's get that stuff inside!
Copy !req
762. Hey, come on, you fellows!
You heard the sergeant!
Copy !req
763. Hey, you, Big Deal! Come on.
Move that lead in there. Come on.
Copy !req
764. What time you got?
Copy !req
765. Almost 8:00.
Copy !req
766. We gotta hold till 9:00.
Copy !req
767. That's what the colonel said.
Copy !req
768. Look!
Copy !req
769. I did it myself.
Copy !req
770. Look. I cut it out. Me!
Copy !req
771. Thanks, Jonesy.
Look at the size of that!
Copy !req
772. I didn't know
I could handle a wound.
Copy !req
773. Say, I'm a surgeon.
Copy !req
774. - Look.
- Okay, Wheeler...
Copy !req
775. then come on over here,
and give me one of them knife jobs.
Copy !req
776. What are you
waiting for, Doc?
Copy !req
777. Jonesy.
Copy !req
778. Hey, you know what
I'd do if I was a Commie?
Copy !req
779. No, what would you do
if you was a Commie?
Copy !req
780. I'd plant myself right in the middle
of that hill out there.
Copy !req
781. Then all I'd do is fire one bullet
smack into this cave.
Copy !req
782. Just one bullet. I know
ricochet'd do the rest.
Copy !req
783. Ricochet's
for the birds.
Copy !req
784. Well, I guess you're wrong.
Nobody was hit by that ricochet.
Copy !req
785. I was right.
Copy !req
786. - Where?
- It's in my gut.
Copy !req
787. We'll get it out, Rock.
Maybe it was spent by the time it hit you.
Copy !req
788. Maybe it's not in too deep.
Copy !req
789. Don't get your tail in a roar, Denno.
I ain't dead yet.
Copy !req
790. Every Red out there is out of action.
Copy !req
791. We make sure this time, Rock.
Copy !req
792. Tell Denno he's in charge now.
Copy !req
793. You're in command
as long as you're alive.
Copy !req
794. Denno, you got the command now
whether you want it or not.
Copy !req
795. - It's all yours.
- You're gonna live, Rock.
Copy !req
796. I'm dead.
Copy !req
797. Listen, Rock.
I'm no good without you.
Copy !req
798. Remember what I told you.
Copy !req
799. Killing's a business.
Copy !req
800. It'll be a lot easier
from now on. Like spittin'.
Copy !req
801. Rock.
Copy !req
802. I told you.
I'm dead.
Copy !req
803. Strip him of everything
we can use.
Copy !req
804. Roll him in a blanket...
Copy !req
805. and bury him.
Copy !req
806. And mark him.
Copy !req
807. - Let's bug outta here!
- I'm for it.
Copy !req
808. All right. You carry that 30.
I'll carry the tripod and ammo.
Copy !req
809. Yeah, by the time we get to that ridge,
regiment'll be across it.
Copy !req
810. If we pull out now, they're liable
to over run us on the road...
Copy !req
811. and slaughter the tail
of the regiment.
Copy !req
812. - We're supposed to stall 'em.
- Who made you platoon leader?
Copy !req
813. Look, I got the same
rank as you, Denno.
Copy !req
814. - I'm a two-striper from way back.
- Yeah!
Copy !req
815. Way, way back.
Copy !req
816. I saw you at
the Naktong.
Copy !req
817. You had buck fever like
no guy I ever saw before.
Copy !req
818. You're like a lot of guys
in the army.
Copy !req
819. You can shoot at something
you can't see...
Copy !req
820. but when it comes to picking out
a single target, you can't shoot.
Copy !req
821. I don't want no buck fever squaw woman
telling me what to do.
Copy !req
822. Corporal or Lieutenant
or Sergeant-
Copy !req
823. Whatever they call you,
Denno. Who cares?
Copy !req
824. Two-striper,
three-striper, 10-striper.
Copy !req
825. Rock made you the Ichiban.
You name it, and I'll do it.
Copy !req
826. Well, I ain't hanging around here
to be chopped into Chinese rice balls...
Copy !req
827. washed down with
that Russian tea.
Copy !req
828. You guys follow me.
I'll get you back to the bridge.
Copy !req
829. He's right!
Copy !req
830. I ain't winding up in a sack
in this middle of nowhere.
Copy !req
831. Shut up!
Copy !req
832. We've gotta
hold here till 9:00.
Copy !req
833. - Says who?
- Says the colonel.
Copy !req
834. Look, when you start wearing
eagles on your shoulders, look me up.
Copy !req
835. I'll clobber the first guy
that tries to bug out.
Copy !req
836. - You know, I still think that we oughta-
- Dry up!
Copy !req
837. Big Deal, you better
watch your step...
Copy !req
838. or the corporal's gonna
send your scalp to Uncle Joe.
Copy !req
839. No, Corporal, you didn't
ask for it. But you got it.
Copy !req
840. It's all yours.
You're the Ichiban boy now.
Copy !req
841. If it keeps up like this
till 9:00, it's all right.
Copy !req
842. But what if they hit us?
What'll I do?
Copy !req
843. Will I really be able to lead these guys
in a fight? Have I got what it takes?
Copy !req
844. When I get out of this...
Copy !req
845. I'm gonna open up a bowling alley
with Whitey.
Copy !req
846. I'll build me a big swimming pool
and fill it with hot water.
Copy !req
847. Just move right in
and live in it.
Copy !req
848. Always worried about
coming out of it, these guys.
Copy !req
849. For what? Who cares?
Copy !req
850. Gibbs, Lonergan, Rock.
Copy !req
851. With my luck, I'll lose Denno if we
don't pull out of here right away.
Copy !req
852. "Dr. Wheeler."
That don't sound bad.
Copy !req
853. Dr. John Wheeler,
Surgeon. Yeah.
Copy !req
854. I kind of like
the sound of that.
Copy !req
855. How can I get that extra pair
of dry socks out of here?
Copy !req
856. If he likes coffee,
maybe I can make a deal.
Copy !req
857. If that guy's thinking
of getting his hands on my socks...
Copy !req
858. he's crazy.
Copy !req
859. I wonder what he's
gonna do when he finds out...
Copy !req
860. I'm wearing his dry socks.
Copy !req
861. Okay! Well,
I'm all set!
Copy !req
862. Go up and tell those guys at O.P.
to come down at exactly 9:00.
Copy !req
863. Hey, you really are going by the book.
What're you bucking for?
Copy !req
864. - Get your butt up there.
- All right-
Copy !req
865. - Go on!
- All right!
Copy !req
866. Move the casualties down first.
Come on. Everybody's in the act!
Copy !req
867. Go out there,
and keep your eyes open.
Copy !req
868. - Get everything down from up there?
- Yeah, everything.
Copy !req
869. Okay. Hey, Big Deal!
Copy !req
870. - Did you take care of that?
- Yeah, we buried them all.
Copy !req
871. Let's go!
Copy !req
872. When you hear a tank,
that's the main event.
Copy !req
873. That means they're wise to us.
A tank means they'll hit us...
Copy !req
874. with more tanks
and a lot of people.
Copy !req
875. They're sending a guy out
in front of the tank.
Copy !req
876. You know what that means. It means
they're gonna blow up the minefield...
Copy !req
877. knock out our roadblock,
then that joker's...
Copy !req
878. gonna come out here to see if we got an
antitank gun planted around the bend.
Copy !req
879. If we can knock out
that tank right here-
Copy !req
880. right where we're standing-
Copy !req
881. - and make a roadblock outta her...
- Yeah.
Copy !req
882. If we could suck that guy out here
where he don't smell us...
Copy !req
883. we could knock out
that tank right here.
Copy !req
884. Right on this spot.
We gotta do it.
Copy !req
885. Jonesy, be sure you
camouflage that 75.
Copy !req
886. And hide the bazooka. Hide it good, huh?
And Jonesy. Come here.
Copy !req
887. I don't care if that tank gets close
enough to spit right in your eye...
Copy !req
888. you wait for my burst
before you let her have it, ya hear?
Copy !req
889. You wait for
my burst. Okay?
Copy !req
890. Wheeler, get 'em around the bend there.
No, way around.
Copy !req
891. Jonesy,
remember what I said.
Copy !req
892. Wait for me.
Copy !req
893. Mainotes,
keep your head down.
Copy !req
894. Hold your fire!
Copy !req
895. We'd better open up.
He's gonna walk over us.
Copy !req
896. Everybody opens up
when I fire.
Copy !req
897. We did it!
Copy !req
898. Jonesy. Hey!
Beautiful shot!
Copy !req
899. I thought you'd never fire.
Copy !req
900. I gotta hand it to you, Corporal.
That took guts.
Copy !req
901. All right, let's pick up that 75
and haul out of here.
Copy !req
902. Hey, Wheeler, get those casualties
started towards the bridge.
Copy !req
903. The rest of us will
cover ya and follow.
Copy !req
904. Well, go on!
Head for the river!
Copy !req
905. All right, come on, you guys.
Let's go.
Copy !req
906. Lieutenant,
I think I hear 'em coming.
Copy !req
907. Yeah. Yeah, there's some people
out there in the river.
Copy !req
908. Pass the word down
to alert.
Copy !req
909. Could be the rearguard?
Copy !req
910. Yeah, it could be
the Reds too.
Copy !req
911. Who's there?
Copy !req
912. Wait a minute.
Copy !req
913. Who's out there? Speak up!
Copy !req
914. Rearguard.
Copy !req
915. Ain't nobody goes out
lookin' for responsibility.
Copy !req
916. Sometimes you get it whether
you're looking for it or not.
Copy !req
917. You ain't a corporal
for nothin'...
Copy !req
918. Corporal.
Copy !req
