1. What's this war in the heart of nature?Copy !req
2. Why does nature vie with itself?Copy !req
3. The land contend with the sea?Copy !req
4. Is there an avenging power in nature?Copy !req
5. Not one power, but two?Copy !req
6. I remember my mother
when she was dying.Copy !req
7. Looked all shrunk up and gray.Copy !req
8. I asked her if she was afraid.Copy !req
9. She just shook her head.Copy !req
10. I was afraid to touch the death
I seen in her.Copy !req
11. I couldn't find nothing beautiful or uplifting
about her going back to God.Copy !req
12. I heard people talk about immortality,
but I ain't seen it.Copy !req
13. I wondered how it'd be when I died.Copy !req
14. What it'd be like to know that
this breath now...Copy !req
15. was the last one you
was ever gonna draw.Copy !req
16. I just hope I can meet it
the same way she did.Copy !req
17. With the same calm.Copy !req
18. Because that's where it's hidden,
the immortality I hadn't seen.Copy !req
19. Kids around here never fight.Copy !req
20. Sometimes.Copy !req
21. Sometimes when you see them playing...Copy !req
22. they always fight!Copy !req
23. - Is she afraid of me?
- Little bit.Copy !req
24. - Are you afraid of me?
- Yes.Copy !req
25. - Why?
- Because you look...Copy !req
26. You look as an army!Copy !req
27. - I look army?
- Yes.Copy !req
28. Well, that don't matter.Copy !req
29. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
30. - Baby's tired.
- Yes.Copy !req
31. If she swims, she wants, she will sleep.Copy !req
32. All right, come on. Turn around.Copy !req
33. Go, go, go. Go!Copy !req
34. Come on, go.Copy !req
35. Go, go, go!Copy !req
36. Witt, patrol boat!Copy !req
37. She's American.Copy !req
38. What's it doing out here all alone?Copy !req
39. You haven't changed at all,
have you, Witt?Copy !req
40. You haven't learned a thing.Copy !req
41. All a man has to do is leave it to you,
you'll put your head in the noose for him.Copy !req
42. How many times you been AWOL?Copy !req
43. Been in the army, what? Six years now?Copy !req
44. Ain't it time you smartened up
and stopped being such a punk recruit?Copy !req
45. I mean, if you're ever gonna.Copy !req
46. We can't all be smart.Copy !req
47. No, we can't, and that's a shame.Copy !req
48. Look at you.Copy !req
49. Truth is, you can't take straight duty
in my company.Copy !req
50. You'll never be a real soldier,
not in God's world.Copy !req
51. This is C Company, of which
I'm first sergeant. I run this outfit.Copy !req
52. Captain Staros, he's the CO, but I'm the guy
who runs it. Nobody's gonna foul that up.Copy !req
53. You're just another mouth for me to feed.Copy !req
54. Normally, you'd be court-martialled.Copy !req
55. But I worked a deal for you.Copy !req
56. You gotta consider yourself lucky.Copy !req
57. I'm sending you to a disciplinary outfit.Copy !req
58. You'll be a stretcher-bearer.
You'll be taking care of the wounded.Copy !req
59. I can take anything you dish out.Copy !req
60. I'm twice the man you are.Copy !req
61. In this world...Copy !req
62. a man himself is nothing.Copy !req
63. And there ain't no world but this one.Copy !req
64. You're wrong there, Top.Copy !req
65. I seen another world.Copy !req
66. Sometimes I think
it was just my imagination.Copy !req
67. Well...Copy !req
68. then you've seen things I never will.Copy !req
69. We're living in a world that's blowing itself
to hell as fast as everybody can arrange it.Copy !req
70. In a situation like that, all a man can do
is shut his eyes and let nothing touch him.Copy !req
71. Look out for himself.Copy !req
72. I might be the best friend you ever had.Copy !req
73. You don't even know it.Copy !req
74. He hates you worse than poison.Copy !req
75. I never felt he hated me,
because I don't hate him.Copy !req
76. I love Charlie Company.Copy !req
77. They're my people.Copy !req
78. They call it "The Rock. "Copy !req
79. Nobody wants this island.
Japs just put an airfield there.Copy !req
80. Fighting's confined to this area.Copy !req
81. As you can see, this is their road
to Australia, and this is their way...Copy !req
82. of controlling the sea lanes to America.Copy !req
83. If we're gonna stop the Japs' advance
into the south Pacific...Copy !req
84. we've gotta do it right there.Copy !req
85. The Marines have done their job.
Now it's our turn.Copy !req
86. Worked my ass off.Copy !req
87. Brown-nosed the generals.Copy !req
88. Degraded myself...Copy !req
89. for them and my family.Copy !req
90. For my home.Copy !req
91. - I admire you, colonel. I do.
- Thank you, sir.Copy !req
92. Most men your age
would have retired by now.Copy !req
93. It's okay.Copy !req
94. We need general officers
with maturity and character like you.Copy !req
95. We've got good sergeants,
we've got good lieutenant colonels.Copy !req
96. But once a man gets those eagles,
he can't wait to get that star.Copy !req
97. He becomes a politician, right?Copy !req
98. Goes along to get along.Copy !req
99. So goddamn hard to stay upright.Copy !req
100. - You said it there, sir.
- With the admiral watching...Copy !req
101. which he will be.Copy !req
102. - There's always someone watching.
- Yeah.Copy !req
103. Like a hawk.Copy !req
104. Always someone ready to jump in,
if you're not.Copy !req
105. - Do you have a son, colonel?
- Yes, sir, I do.Copy !req
106. Good. We don't want
our sons or grandsons...Copy !req
107. fighting this war 30 years
from now, do we?Copy !req
108. - No, sir, we sure don't.
- Then you crush them without mercy.Copy !req
109. You dig them out of the hills
and protect that airfield.Copy !req
110. Yes, sir.Copy !req
111. You wonder why. Why did the Japs
put an airfield there of all places?Copy !req
112. I guess we don't know the bigger picture,
if there is such a thing.Copy !req
113. - What do you think?
- Well, sir, I never ask myself that question.Copy !req
114. You're a humble man.Copy !req
115. Nobody wants that island but you.Copy !req
116. How much do you want it?Copy !req
117. As much as I have to, sir.Copy !req
118. All they sacrificed for me...Copy !req
119. poured out like water on the ground.Copy !req
120. All I might have given for love's sake.Copy !req
121. Too late.Copy !req
122. Died...Copy !req
123. slow as a tree.Copy !req
124. Do you feel it?Copy !req
125. Yes, sir.Copy !req
126. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
127. Take topside to the signal bridge.Copy !req
128. The closer you are to Caesar,
the greater the fear.Copy !req
129. I just can't help
how damn scared I am, sarge, all right?Copy !req
130. I can't help it. I got...Copy !req
131. My stepdaddy took a block
and beat me when I was real little...Copy !req
132. and I was scared
and I used to run, I used to hide.Copy !req
133. Hell, I slept in the chicken coop
a whole lot of nights.Copy !req
134. And I never thought
it'd get no worse than that.Copy !req
135. But I'm living by the... By the minute here.
I'm counting the seconds.Copy !req
136. Hell, we're gonna be landing soon
and there's gonna be air raids.Copy !req
137. We're probably gonna die
before we get off the beach.Copy !req
138. This place is...
It's like a big floating graveyard.Copy !req
139. - What's your name, kid?
- I wanna own an automobile when I get out.Copy !req
140. - What's your name?
- Edward, Edward B. Train.Copy !req
141. Train?Copy !req
142. The only things that are permanent is...
Is dying and the Lord. That's it.Copy !req
143. That's all you gotta worry about.
This war ain't...Copy !req
144. gonna be the end of me or you neither.Copy !req
145. - Think we'll catch an air raid?
- How in the hell should I know?Copy !req
146. All's I know are them crew guys said
they didn't catch no air raid the last time.Copy !req
147. On the other hand,
time before last they nearly got blew up.Copy !req
148. What do you want me to tell you?Copy !req
149. You're a big help, Tills.
Nothing. Tell me nothing.Copy !req
150. I'll tell you something.Copy !req
151. We're sitting out here on this ocean like
a couple of fucking ducks in these boats.Copy !req
152. I already know that.Copy !req
153. Well, brood on it, Tills.Copy !req
154. Brood on it.Copy !req
155. - Ain't you watching the fun?
- I ain't interested.Copy !req
156. - Yeah, I guess it is pretty crowded.
- Wouldn't be interested, even if it wasn't.Copy !req
157. Well, I'm on my way to get me that pistol.Copy !req
158. Yeah? Well, have fun.Copy !req
159. Yeah, have fun.Copy !req
160. You'll wish you had one once we get ashore
and run into some of them samurai sabers.Copy !req
161. Open this door! Open this goddamn door!Copy !req
162. Open the door!Copy !req
163. You all learn to deal these cards...Copy !req
164. It's all right. Here I am sleeping. Yeah.Copy !req
165. All right, ladies.
Is this a sewing circle or a card game?Copy !req
166. All right, jack's high, jack bet.
Robert's got two jacks.Copy !req
167. I never bargained for nothing like this...Copy !req
168. when I signed up for
this man's army before the war.Copy !req
169. How was I supposed to know
there was gonna be a fucking war?Copy !req
170. Answer me that.Copy !req
171. All I know is Charlie Company's
always getting screwed. Always.Copy !req
172. And I can tell you whose fault it is too.Copy !req
173. It's that captain of ours.Copy !req
174. First he gets us stuck off on this boat
where we don't know a fucking soul.Copy !req
175. He gets us stuck way down in fourth place
on the list to get off this son of a bitch.Copy !req
176. Hello, captain.Copy !req
177. I read in your 201 file
that you were an officer before the war.Copy !req
178. How'd you end up a private?Copy !req
179. Because of my wife.Copy !req
180. I was in the Corps of Engineers.Copy !req
181. We'd never been separated before...Copy !req
182. not even for a night.Copy !req
183. I took it for four months and then I quit.Copy !req
184. Just resigned.Copy !req
185. They sent me back to the States.Copy !req
186. They told me I'd never get
another commission.Copy !req
187. They said they'd see to it I got drafted and
that for damn sure would be in the infantry.Copy !req
188. Sons of bitches.Copy !req
189. No, I don't blame them.Copy !req
190. Well, where is she now?Copy !req
191. She's home.Copy !req
192. Why should I be afraid to die?Copy !req
193. I belong to you.Copy !req
194. Move! Move! Move!Copy !req
195. Move! Move!Copy !req
196. Move! Move! Moving out!Copy !req
197. If I go first, I'll wait for you there.Copy !req
198. On the other side of the dark waters.Copy !req
199. Put your helmet on.Copy !req
200. Be with me now.Copy !req
201. - Feeling the pressure, captain?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
202. I like you, captain.Copy !req
203. And I just want you to know, well,
we're in this thing together. All right?Copy !req
204. Keep pressing inland till you reach
the line. I'll catch up with you there.Copy !req
205. - Yes, sir.
- It's all yours, captain.Copy !req
206. Gangway! Gangway there!Copy !req
207. - Back it up!
- Coming through!Copy !req
208. Squad leaders! Both teams!Copy !req
209. This way, son. This way, right here.Copy !req
210. Stand by to go over the side!Copy !req
211. Our Father, who art in heaven...Copy !req
212. And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.Copy !req
213. For thine is the kingdom,
and the power and the glory.Copy !req
214. Your outfit's lucky.Copy !req
215. Transports must've been spotted.Copy !req
216. You're getting out of here
just ahead of time.Copy !req
217. Take a breath, mister. You gotta breathe!Copy !req
218. - You Charlie Company?
- Yeah.Copy !req
219. We went in a mile. Nothing there.Copy !req
220. Some oil drums.
There'd be nothing there for...Copy !req
221. - A week.
- A week, sir.Copy !req
222. No casualties. Japs must've hauled ass.Copy !req
223. Couple of mortars hit the beach,
but most guys came in standing up.Copy !req
224. Darnedest thing I ever did see, sir.Copy !req
225. They got fish that live in trees.Copy !req
226. If they didn't know this beach was
deserted, what else don't they know?Copy !req
227. Who are you to live
in all these many forms?Copy !req
228. Your death that captures all.Copy !req
229. You too are the source
of all that's gonna be born.Copy !req
230. Your glory.Copy !req
231. Mercy.Copy !req
232. Peace.Copy !req
233. Truth.Copy !req
234. You give calm a spirit...Copy !req
235. understanding...Copy !req
236. courage.Copy !req
237. The contented heart.Copy !req
238. Need a medic here!Copy !req
239. Maybe all men got one big soul
who everybody's a part of.Copy !req
240. All faces of the same man.Copy !req
241. One big self.Copy !req
242. Everyone looking for salvation by himself.Copy !req
243. Each like a coal...Copy !req
244. drawn from the fire.Copy !req
245. We're going straight up that hill there.Copy !req
246. - We can't do that, colonel.
- Well, there's no way to outflank it.Copy !req
247. On the left is a cliff
that falls down into the river.Copy !req
248. The Japanese hold the jungle.
It has to be taken frontally.Copy !req
249. What about water, sir?
Water's not getting up here.Copy !req
250. My men are passing out, sir.Copy !req
251. Only time you worry about a soldier
is when he stops bitching.Copy !req
252. We're all gonna attack abreast.
Third Platoon in reserve.Copy !req
253. We've gotta cross those three folds
of ground. You see?Copy !req
254. Once we get beyond that,
we gotta attack that hill.Copy !req
255. Colonel says there's no way to outflank it...Copy !req
256. so we gotta take it head-on
by frontal assault.Copy !req
257. - Whyte?
- Yeah?Copy !req
258. - See those ridges at the foot of that hill?
- Yeah.Copy !req
259. When you get to the end of that field,
eliminate all strongpoints on those ridges.Copy !req
260. I'm sure the Japs got something there
to protect the approaches.Copy !req
261. Are you here?Copy !req
262. Let me not betray you.Copy !req
263. Let me not betray my men.Copy !req
264. In you I place my trust.Copy !req
265. Rosy-fingered dawn.Copy !req
266. You're Greek, aren't you, captain?Copy !req
267. Did you ever read Homer?Copy !req
268. We read Homer at the Point.Copy !req
269. In Greek.Copy !req
270. What kind of artillery support
do we have, sir? Over.Copy !req
271. - Two batteries of 105s.
- They won't make a dent. Over.Copy !req
272. No, but it bucks the men up.
It'll look like the Japs are catching hell.Copy !req
273. Okay, you guys.Copy !req
274. This is it.Copy !req
275. We're going down in groups of 10.Copy !req
276. There's no point in going by rushes.
Only make a better target stopped, so...Copy !req
277. run all the way.Copy !req
278. We ain't got no choice.
We're picked, so we gotta go.Copy !req
279. I'm gonna take the first bunch myself.Copy !req
280. I want Charlie Dale with me. Dale?Copy !req
281. You go organize them guys that's up there.Copy !req
282. Moving out in five minutes.Copy !req
283. Let's go.Copy !req
284. Sico?Copy !req
285. - What's wrong with you?
- I'm sick to my stomach.Copy !req
286. Sico, you get up right now,
or I'll kick you so hard...Copy !req
287. I can't, sergeant. I would if I could.Copy !req
288. I'm sick.Copy !req
289. - I'm sick.
- You ain't sick. Get up!Copy !req
290. - What's the matter, Sico?
- I don't know, sergeant.Copy !req
291. It's my stomach. I'm in pain, I got cramps.Copy !req
292. I can't even sit up straight. I'm sick.Copy !req
293. - Come on, get up!
- Leave him.Copy !req
294. I need a volunteer to carry the BAR. Drop
the gear, Sico. I'm taking you to the medics.Copy !req
295. Thank you, sergeant.Copy !req
296. Don't argue with me.Copy !req
297. Good luck, Keck.Copy !req
298. Plug that hole on your right!Copy !req
299. Move!Copy !req
300. Maybe they pulled out.Copy !req
301. Hit dirt!Copy !req
302. Hit dirt!Copy !req
303. Calm down, calm down, calm down.Copy !req
304. Stretcher-bearers!Copy !req
305. Come on!Copy !req
306. - Stretcher-bearers, this way!
- Come on!Copy !req
307. - Go get that man.
- We already got eight or nine down there...Copy !req
308. - Don't argue with me! Get that man.
- He's not the one we should think about...Copy !req
309. Goddamn it, all of you!
Am I in command here or am I not?Copy !req
310. - Am I the captain or a goddamn private?
- Others are hit bad. That was all I meant.Copy !req
311. - I gave you an order, private!
- Yes, sir!Copy !req
312. Hello, first sergeant.Copy !req
313. Who we going after over here?Copy !req
314. We think it's Jacques.Copy !req
315. Old Jockey.Copy !req
316. Well, shit. That's... That's...
That's too bad.Copy !req
317. Sir?Copy !req
318. Sir? Sir, can I come back to the company
after we get Jockey back to the battalion?Copy !req
319. - Okay, but you gotta get permission.
- Sure. And my rifle.Copy !req
320. Get up, Nicky! You're still alive!Copy !req
321. Keep moving! Keep moving!Copy !req
322. Magnificent, Staros, magnificent.Copy !req
323. The finest thing these old eyes
have seen in a long time!Copy !req
324. Beautifully conceived, beautifully executed!
You'll be mentioned in battalion orders.Copy !req
325. Young Whyte led beautifully.Copy !req
326. Yes, sir. Over.Copy !req
327. But sending in your second too
was brilliant. Just brilliant.Copy !req
328. They may well have carried the ridge.Copy !req
329. I don't think they were hurt too bad.
Blane led well too.Copy !req
330. Now, how many emplacements
did they locate?Copy !req
331. Did they knock any out?Copy !req
332. We ought to have those ridges
cleaned out by noon! Over.Copy !req
333. Hello! Hello! Staros, are you there?Copy !req
334. Here, sir. Over.Copy !req
335. I said, how many emplacements did they
locate? Did they knock any out? Over.Copy !req
336. Children.Copy !req
337. I don't know, sir.Copy !req
338. What the hell do you mean, you don't
know? How can you not know? Over.Copy !req
339. I'm right here behind the first swell, sir.
I'm right here behind the swell.Copy !req
340. You want me to stand up and wave? Over.Copy !req
341. No, I can see where you are.
I want you to do something.Copy !req
342. I want you to get up there
and see what the situation is.Copy !req
343. I want Hill 210 in my hands tonight!Copy !req
344. Now, goddamn it,
the admiral got up at dawn for this!Copy !req
345. Come to life up there, Staros. Out!Copy !req
346. Move up!Copy !req
347. Hey, Keck!Copy !req
348. Yeah!Copy !req
349. - We gotta get out of here.
- I know it.Copy !req
350. Blane's dead.Copy !req
351. You're in charge.Copy !req
352. We know you there, Yank!Copy !req
353. Tojo eats shit!Copy !req
354. No! Roosevelt eats shit!Copy !req
355. I got him! I got him!Copy !req
356. I killed a man.Copy !req
357. Hey, Queen!Copy !req
358. Queen, you there?Copy !req
359. Worst thing you can do.
Worse than rape.Copy !req
360. Queen! You see them Japs
leaving that left ridge?Copy !req
361. - I killed a man. Nobody can touch me for it.
- No, I ain't seen nothing.Copy !req
362. Well, get your fucking head up
and look around!Copy !req
363. I'm serious!Copy !req
364. I counted seven Japs
leaving that left-hand grassy ridge!Copy !req
365. I got me one of them!Copy !req
366. So?Copy !req
367. I think maybe they're pulling out.Copy !req
368. Maybe somebody
ought to go tell the captain.Copy !req
369. You wanna be the one to do it?Copy !req
370. You just stay put! I'm ordering you!Copy !req
371. Down!Copy !req
372. Stay low.Copy !req
373. Go! Go!Copy !req
374. Go! Go!Copy !req
375. What do we do now?Copy !req
376. We wait right here. Maybe
they'll send us up some reinforcements.Copy !req
377. To do what?Copy !req
378. To capture some of these
fucking positions around here!Copy !req
379. You really wanna go on with this?Copy !req
380. Hell, no. No, not no uphill charge.Copy !req
381. If they send us reinforcements,
maybe we could scout around...Copy !req
382. and locate these machine guns.Copy !req
383. - Anyway, it's better than going back down.
- Something's coming!Copy !req
384. They're coming!Copy !req
385. What are they doing?Copy !req
386. If they want to throw us out,
why didn't they come in force?Copy !req
387. Maybe they was acting on their own.Copy !req
388. Maybe they wanted to get into nirvana.Copy !req
389. They're coming!Copy !req
390. Keck!Copy !req
391. Jesus!Copy !req
392. Oh, Jesus!Copy !req
393. I blew my butt off!Copy !req
394. - It's all right. It's all right.
- I blew my butt off!Copy !req
395. Lay down!Copy !req
396. What a fucking recruit trick to pull!Copy !req
397. - Take it easy. Take it easy.
- I grabbed it by the pin!Copy !req
398. You write my old lady. You tell her...
I want her to know I died like a man.Copy !req
399. Nobody's gonna have to write her.
You'll make it.Copy !req
400. - Don't you bullshit me!
- Stay down!Copy !req
401. Hey, hey.Copy !req
402. Have I got mud on my face?Copy !req
403. Wipe it off. Get it off.Copy !req
404. No!Copy !req
405. I'll write her. I promise.Copy !req
406. Take my canteen.
There's still some water in there.Copy !req
407. It's for the best.Copy !req
408. I'm all messed up down there. I can't...Copy !req
409. I can't fuck no more.Copy !req
410. Where am I?Copy !req
411. Where am I?Copy !req
412. You're gonna be all right.Copy !req
413. Even if you die,
you didn't let your brother down.Copy !req
414. If you hadn't thrown yourself against that
embankment, we'd all have been killed.Copy !req
415. I'm cold.Copy !req
416. I'm cold.Copy !req
417. I'm freezing.Copy !req
418. You gonna write his wife?Copy !req
419. Fuck, no.Copy !req
420. I don't know his old lady.Copy !req
421. That's the company commander's job. You
out of your mind? I ain't no good at writing.Copy !req
422. You told him you would.Copy !req
423. I'll say anything to them
when they're like that.Copy !req
424. Somebody ought to do it.Copy !req
425. Well, then, you write her.
Yeah, you write her.Copy !req
426. What's wrong, Jim?Copy !req
427. There's nothing anybody can do for him.
He'll die before they get him to a surgeon.Copy !req
428. Then I can't ask you to go out there.Copy !req
429. Maybe I could get some morphine
into him.Copy !req
430. - Would it keep him quiet?
- Not for long, but I can give him two.Copy !req
431. And I could maybe leave him
three or four for himself.Copy !req
432. Couldn't you give them to him all at once?Copy !req
433. Where...? Where are you? Please!Copy !req
434. That's what you are.Copy !req
435. That's all there is for us.
That's us, that's us.Copy !req
436. I lost all 12. I lost all 12.Copy !req
437. All 12 of them.Copy !req
438. It's insanity up there.Copy !req
439. I told them what to do, I showed them
where to go and I gave them a push.Copy !req
440. - Somebody help!
- I know you. I know you.Copy !req
441. Sergeant.Copy !req
442. It's insane. I don't know who's in charge
here, but don't let him go! Don't let him go!Copy !req
443. I'm out of here. I'm out of here.Copy !req
444. I'm out of here. All right, move feet.
Move, move, move. Move, move!Copy !req
445. I'm moving. I'm moving. I'm moving now.Copy !req
446. Don't touch. Don't touch. Don't look at me.
Don't touch. Okay, I'm out of here.Copy !req
447. All right. All right.Copy !req
448. All right. All right.Copy !req
449. Somebody help me!Copy !req
450. Help me!Copy !req
451. You gotta be quiet.
I came to help you, Tella.Copy !req
452. - Okay. Calm down.
- Fuck you!Copy !req
453. I'm dying! I'm dying, sarge!Copy !req
454. Okay. Well, goddamn it,
do it with less noise!Copy !req
455. - How you gonna get me out?
- I'm gonna take you back.Copy !req
456. - Come on.
- No!Copy !req
457. Put me down! Put me down!Copy !req
458. Leave me alone. Leave me alone.Copy !req
459. Please, leave me alone.Copy !req
460. Give me more. Give me more.Copy !req
461. Give me more. Give me more.Copy !req
462. Give me more. Give me more.Copy !req
463. Here, Tella.Copy !req
464. Goodbye. Goodbye.Copy !req
465. Bye, kid.Copy !req
466. Goodbye, sarge. Goodbye.Copy !req
467. Well, fortunately, Jim, the fate of
the company doesn't depend on one man.Copy !req
468. Sergeant, I saw the whole thing
through the glasses.Copy !req
469. I'm gonna mention you in orders tomorrow
and recommend you for the Silver Star.Copy !req
470. - It's the most courageous thing...
- Captain...Copy !req
471. you say one more word to thank me,
I'll knock you right in the teeth.Copy !req
472. You mention me in your fucking orders,
and I'll resign so fast...Copy !req
473. and leave you here
to run this busted-up outfit by yourself.Copy !req
474. You understand?Copy !req
475. Property!Copy !req
476. Whole fucking thing's about property.Copy !req
477. What's the matter with you, Staros? Those
men should be reinforced immediately!Copy !req
478. What are they doing?
I can see them through my glasses.Copy !req
479. They're just lying there behind that ledge!Copy !req
480. They should be up and out,
cleaning out those machine guns! Over!Copy !req
481. I don't think you understand
what's going on down here, sir.Copy !req
482. We've had heavy casualties.Copy !req
483. We had a man... His gut got shot out
on the slopes, sir. Created quite an upset.Copy !req
484. Fine, fine. Now,
what about those reinforcements? Over.Copy !req
485. I have two squads to...Copy !req
486. First Platoon I can send up, sir. Over.Copy !req
487. What the hell do you mean, two squads?Copy !req
488. Goddamn you, Staros!
When I say reinforcements...Copy !req
489. goddamn it, I mean it! You commit
everybody you have there and do it now!Copy !req
490. Your First Platoon too. I see them
lying on their fat asses doing nothing.Copy !req
491. Get a man to them right now
with orders to attack...Copy !req
492. and move them by the flank to the ridge.Copy !req
493. Then get that Second Platoon
over to the hill!Copy !req
494. Have them press the center.
Go straight up that goddamn hill!Copy !req
495. You attack them right now!Copy !req
496. Jesus Christ, Staros! Do I have to
give you a lesson on infantry tactics...Copy !req
497. while your men
are getting their asses shot off?Copy !req
498. Colonel, I don't think you fully understand
what is going on down here.Copy !req
499. My company alone
cannot take that position, sir.Copy !req
500. The Japs are too well dug in.
They've got too much firepower.Copy !req
501. Colonel, there's a bunker up there.Copy !req
502. We can't see it, and it's...
It's chewing my men to pieces, sir.Copy !req
503. I formally request permission
for patrol reconnaissance around...Copy !req
504. to the right of Hill 210 through the jungle.
I believe the entire position...Copy !req
505. can be outflanked
with a maneuver there in force.Copy !req
506. - No! Goddamn it, I tell you no!
- Might save lives!Copy !req
507. There'll be no flanking move!Copy !req
508. Now, listen to me, Staros.
You're not gonna take your men...Copy !req
509. around into the jungle
to avoid a goddamn fight!Copy !req
510. Do you hear me, Staros?Copy !req
511. I want you to attack right now
with every man at your disposal.Copy !req
512. Now, attack, Staros! That's a direct order!Copy !req
513. Sir, I must tell you
that I refuse to obey your order.Copy !req
514. - There it is, right there. See it?
- I don't see it.Copy !req
515. This is not your fault, Jim.
He's ordering you to.Copy !req
516. I again request permission
for patrol reconnaissance...Copy !req
517. around to the right in force.Copy !req
518. The time, sir, is 1321 hours, 25 seconds.Copy !req
519. I've got two witnesses here.Copy !req
520. I request that you do the same
with witnesses there. Over.Copy !req
521. Staros, don't pull this
guardhouse-lawyer bullshit with me!Copy !req
522. Now, I know you're a goddamn lawyer!
This is not a court of law.Copy !req
523. This is a war. It's a goddamn battle!Copy !req
524. Now, I want that frontal attack.
I repeat my order. Over.Copy !req
525. I refuse to take my men up there
in a frontal attack.Copy !req
526. It's suicide, sir. I've lived with these men
for two and a half years...Copy !req
527. and I will not order them all
to their deaths. Over.Copy !req
528. This is a very important decision
you're making, Staros.Copy !req
529. If you feel that strongly, maybe
you have a reason, so I'm coming down.Copy !req
530. You two, take a look.Copy !req
531. Now, I'm not rescinding
my order to you, son...Copy !req
532. but if I find extenuating circumstances
when I get there, I'll take that into account.Copy !req
533. Now, in the meantime, goddamn it...Copy !req
534. I want you to hold on until I get there.
If possible...Copy !req
535. you get those men
on the ridge out and moving! Out.Copy !req
536. One spot's as good as another, men.Copy !req
537. There's no place to hide.Copy !req
538. Just take it easy, son.
Take it easy. Take it easy.Copy !req
539. Where's... Where's Fife?Copy !req
540. Fife? He's right here, son. Fife.Copy !req
541. Hold my hand, Fife.Copy !req
542. Hold my hand.Copy !req
543. I got it.Copy !req
544. I'm dying, Fife.Copy !req
545. Oh, captain...Copy !req
546. Shut up in a tomb.Copy !req
547. Can't lift the lid.Copy !req
548. Played a role I never conceived.Copy !req
549. Get that blouse on, soldier.
It's not a goddamn bathing beach!Copy !req
550. Put it on right now.Copy !req
551. What are you aiming at, son?
Let's go get those son of a bitches.Copy !req
552. Move up!Copy !req
553. What are you doing laying down there
where you can't see a damn thing?Copy !req
554. Observing, sir. Just sent
First Platoon forward to the ridge.Copy !req
555. - How many of them were hit this time?
- None, sir.Copy !req
556. None? Not one?Copy !req
557. That doesn't sound like the situation you
described to me over the sound power.Copy !req
558. Well, it's not. The situation's changed
just in the last five minutes, sir.Copy !req
559. Captain, you listen to me.Copy !req
560. We're going over there
and taking everybody with us.Copy !req
561. Do you have any more
formal complaints or demurrers?Copy !req
562. - No, sir. Not now.
- All right! We're gonna do things my way!Copy !req
563. My way! You understand that, captain?Copy !req
564. We're taking everybody over to that ledge!
We may take that ridge by nightfall!Copy !req
565. I think the ridge is quite a way
from being reduced, sir.Copy !req
566. Show me how to see things
the way you do.Copy !req
567. Show me how to see things
the way you do.Copy !req
568. We're just dirt. We're just dirt.Copy !req
569. We're gonna get killed if we stay here.Copy !req
570. Bell, take six men...Copy !req
571. and go see what's up there.Copy !req
572. And we'll cover you the best we can
from down here.Copy !req
573. Okay.Copy !req
574. You guys, you guys, stay here. Okay?Copy !req
575. I'm going up alone.Copy !req
576. Come out.Copy !req
577. Come out where I am.Copy !req
578. There was a... There was a...Copy !req
579. There's a bunker up there.Copy !req
580. It's five guns.Copy !req
581. It's five guns.Copy !req
582. That strongpoint up there,
somewhere up there around those rocks...Copy !req
583. is the key to this ridge.Copy !req
584. Bell here is quite right.Copy !req
585. From their knob up there...Copy !req
586. those little brown brothers
can cover the whole of the ground...Copy !req
587. in front of this position for 1,000 yards.
They've left this ledge unguarded.Copy !req
588. Now, goddamn it, that's a mistake.
That's a hell of a mistake.Copy !req
589. We need to take advantage of it
before they see their error.Copy !req
590. All right, all right,
I know you're all pretty exhausted...Copy !req
591. and we've had a hell of a time
getting water up here.Copy !req
592. For that I'm sorry. I apologize to you all.Copy !req
593. But if we can reduce this bunker tomorrow,
I think we can take this ridge.Copy !req
594. So I'm asking for volunteers.Copy !req
595. Go back up there and knock it out.Copy !req
596. Sir?Copy !req
597. I'll be glad to go back up...Copy !req
598. - ... and lead the way back for a party.
- All right.Copy !req
599. - I'll go, colonel, sir.
- You.Copy !req
600. All right.Copy !req
601. - I'd like to lead the party, colonel.
- All right, John. I was hoping you'd say that.Copy !req
602. - You'll be in command.
- I'll go, sir.Copy !req
603. All right, you.Copy !req
604. - Sir?
- You.Copy !req
605. All right, men, that's enough.
Seven is plenty. Gather up.Copy !req
606. I don't know if you realize the importance
of this operation, Staros.Copy !req
607. Once our position is secured,
we can move the bombers in.Copy !req
608. That means air power
for 1,000 miles in every direction.Copy !req
609. Guadalcanal may be
the turning point in the war.Copy !req
610. - It'll cost lives. Is that what's troubling you?
- No, sir.Copy !req
611. I explained to you
the importance of this objective.Copy !req
612. How many men do you think it's worth?
How many lives?Copy !req
613. I can't say, sir.Copy !req
614. Are you prepared to sacrifice the lives
of any of your men in this campaign?Copy !req
615. How many? One? Two?Copy !req
616. Twenty?Copy !req
617. Lives will be lost
in your company, captain.Copy !req
618. And if you don't have the stomach for it,
now is the time to let me know.Copy !req
619. No, sir. You're right
about everything you said.Copy !req
620. Fine, fine.Copy !req
621. That's all, captain.Copy !req
622. One more thing, Staros.Copy !req
623. It's not necessary for you
to ever tell me that you think I'm right.Copy !req
624. Ever.Copy !req
625. We'll assume it.Copy !req
626. Dismissed.Copy !req
627. I feel sorry for you, kid.Copy !req
628. - Yeah?
- Yeah, a little.Copy !req
629. This army's gonna kill you.Copy !req
630. If you were smart,
you'd take care of yourself.Copy !req
631. There's nothing you can do
for anybody else.Copy !req
632. You're just running into a burning house
where nobody can be saved.Copy !req
633. What difference you think you can make?
One single man in all this madness.Copy !req
634. If you die, it's gonna be for nothing.Copy !req
635. There's not some other world out there
where everything's gonna be okay.Copy !req
636. There's just this one.Copy !req
637. Just this rock.Copy !req
638. Go ahead! Come
on, come on, come on.Copy !req
639. Who's deciding who's gonna live?Copy !req
640. Who's deciding who's gonna die?Copy !req
641. This is futile!Copy !req
642. Look at me!
I stand right up here and not one bullet.Copy !req
643. Not one shot!Copy !req
644. Why?Copy !req
645. How come they all had to die?Copy !req
646. I can stand right here, I can stand right up
and nothing happens to me!Copy !req
647. We.Copy !req
648. We together.Copy !req
649. One being.Copy !req
650. Flow together like water...Copy !req
651. till I can't tell you from me.Copy !req
652. I drink you.Copy !req
653. Now.Copy !req
654. Now.Copy !req
655. You're my light.Copy !req
656. My guide.Copy !req
657. John, we'll be behind you. If you
can break through, we'll come after.Copy !req
658. We'll charge at your whistle signal.Copy !req
659. All right, let's go, men. Go get them.Copy !req
660. Okay.Copy !req
661. Stay down, below this ledge...Copy !req
662. and I'll call down the data from above.Copy !req
663. Once the 81 s have plastered that rock
as much as possible...Copy !req
664. we're gonna crawl out
along that big rock for cover...Copy !req
665. and then flank them to the right.Copy !req
666. Okay?Copy !req
667. Okay. Okay.Copy !req
668. Azimuth 1470 from Easy Roger 7.Copy !req
669. One hundred left, add 200.Copy !req
670. Uncle Baker 1, fire mission.Copy !req
671. Azimuth 1470 from Easy Roger 7.Copy !req
672. Left 100, add 200.Copy !req
673. Machine gun. Will adjust. Over.Copy !req
674. Understand, 1470 from Easy Roger 7.Copy !req
675. Left 25, drop 50!Copy !req
676. Left 25, Uncle Baker 1.Copy !req
677. Left 25, drop 50.Copy !req
678. Fire for effect. Over.Copy !req
679. Roger, Uncle Baker 1, 147...Copy !req
680. Let's go!Copy !req
681. Okay, we're gonna continue on
up the hill to the right.Copy !req
682. Nobody fire or throw the grenades
till I give the signal.Copy !req
683. Okay, let's do it.Copy !req
684. Is he okay? Is he all right?Copy !req
685. What we gonna do?
Can't take him with us.Copy !req
686. - No, we can't leave him here.
- He's from your platoon. You stay with him.Copy !req
687. We can leave him and pick him up
on the way back if he's still alive. Tim.Copy !req
688. - Is he dead?
- Not yet.Copy !req
689. Dale, stay with him!
Cover our flank! Move!Copy !req
690. Behind you!Copy !req
691. We're pinned down!Copy !req
692. Fall back!Copy !req
693. Go!Copy !req
694. Move!Copy !req
695. Watch out.Copy !req
696. Yeah!Copy !req
697. Clear!Copy !req
698. Clear!Copy !req
699. Come on. Get out.Copy !req
700. Go on.Copy !req
701. Think you're soldiers, huh?Copy !req
702. You piece of shit!Copy !req
703. Son of a bitch!Copy !req
704. Son of a bitch!Copy !req
705. All right?Copy !req
706. I shot a man.Copy !req
707. Stinks around here.Copy !req
708. - All these dead people.
- Put a cigarette up your nose.Copy !req
709. Look at them move!
Look at them move!Copy !req
710. We got them on the run!Copy !req
711. Way to go, John. When they saw you
make that attack and win...Copy !req
712. you put their hearts back into them.Copy !req
713. - Hey, hey!
- Don't do that, soldier.Copy !req
714. Take care of the others. G-2 will want them.
There'll be somebody around before long.Copy !req
715. I think we've wasted enough time here.
Let's go.Copy !req
716. Sir, I've got a few recommendations
for decorations.Copy !req
717. Yes. We'll get everything for all
of them that we can, but later.Copy !req
718. Meantime, I want you to know...Copy !req
719. I'm personally recommending you
for something, John.Copy !req
720. Perhaps the big one.Copy !req
721. - Thank you, sir, but I don't feel...
- Oh, yes, you do, John.Copy !req
722. Getting it for you, now that's
gonna be the goddamn problem!Copy !req
723. But, hell, it'd be a big thing for the battalion
and the regiment if you did get it.Copy !req
724. Now, we better get moving out.
We need to extend our lines...Copy !req
725. hook up with the other companies
and push on to the top.Copy !req
726. Would you like to take command
of Baker Company?Copy !req
727. Of course.Copy !req
728. Sir, I don't mean to be a wet blanket,
but about the water. If we don't get water...Copy !req
729. Don't worry about water.Copy !req
730. John, I don't want anything
to break up this attack of ours...Copy !req
731. now that we have the momentum.Copy !req
732. We'll have some water
in a couple of hours.Copy !req
733. I've arranged for that.Copy !req
734. Now, we just can't stop now, goddamn it,
and wait for it.Copy !req
735. No, sir.Copy !req
736. That's right.Copy !req
737. And if some of the men pass out...Copy !req
738. why, hell, they'll just have to pass out.Copy !req
739. All right.Copy !req
740. They could...Copy !req
741. - You know, they could die from it.
- They could die from enemy fire too.Copy !req
742. They're all tough boys.Copy !req
743. Come on, men, let's go! You'll see
plenty more of those where we're going!Copy !req
744. Are we going up this hill or aren't we?Copy !req
745. John, I'm convinced that the Japanese
position can be broken right now.Copy !req
746. All we have to do is keep going
and we'll have this hill.Copy !req
747. We'll have this hill by sundown.Copy !req
748. You see the spirit in these men?
Do you see the new spirit?Copy !req
749. I want to take advantage of that before
something happens to sap their strength.Copy !req
750. To have this battalion
relieved in a defeat...Copy !req
751. or even to have it reinforced
from troops from the reserves...Copy !req
752. if we were to stall
before reaching the top, well...Copy !req
753. Jesus Christ, that's just
a hell of a lot more than I could stand!Copy !req
754. I've waited all my life for this.Copy !req
755. I've worked, slaved, eaten, oh, untold
buckets of shit to have this opportunity!Copy !req
756. And I don't intend to give it up now.Copy !req
757. You don't know what it feels like
to be passed over.Copy !req
758. I mean, you're young.
You're just out of the academy.Copy !req
759. You know, you've got your war.Copy !req
760. This 15 years, this is my first war!Copy !req
761. John, some day you'll understand.Copy !req
762. You're like a son to me, John.Copy !req
763. You know what my son does?Copy !req
764. He's a bait salesman.Copy !req
765. You've done a hell of a job, John.Copy !req
766. I'm gonna make sure that you get
everything, everything that you deserve.Copy !req
767. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
768. God...Copy !req
769. Goddamn it! I want three runners!Copy !req
770. Give me three runners!Copy !req
771. You go back to the rear to find water...Copy !req
772. and get back here with it
as fast as you can!Copy !req
773. We attack in one hour!
We'll throw everything we got at them.Copy !req
774. We're going all the way!
Nothing's stopping us.Copy !req
775. It's high ground by nightfall!Copy !req
776. You seen many dead people?Copy !req
777. Plenty.Copy !req
778. They're no different than dead dogs...Copy !req
779. once you get used to the idea.Copy !req
780. They're meat, kid.Copy !req
781. Are you righteous? Kind?Copy !req
782. Does your confidence lie in this?Copy !req
783. Are you loved by all?Copy !req
784. Know that I was too.Copy !req
785. Do you imagine your sufferings will
be less because you loved goodness?Copy !req
786. Truth?Copy !req
787. - Get fucking on the ground!
- Get down! Get down!Copy !req
788. Get down. Stay there.Copy !req
789. Get on the ground!
Get on the fucking ground!Copy !req
790. Now!Copy !req
791. This great evil.Copy !req
792. Where's it come from?Copy !req
793. How'd it steal into the world?Copy !req
794. What seed, what root did it grow from?Copy !req
795. Who's doing this?Copy !req
796. Who's killing us?Copy !req
797. Robbing us of life and light.Copy !req
798. Mocking us with the sight
of what we might have known.Copy !req
799. Does our ruin benefit the Earth?Copy !req
800. Does it help the grass to grow
or the sun to shine?Copy !req
801. Is this darkness in you too?Copy !req
802. Have you passed through this night?Copy !req
803. I'm gonna sink my teeth into your liver.Copy !req
804. You're dying.Copy !req
805. See them birds up there?Copy !req
806. You know they eat you raw?Copy !req
807. Where you're going,
you're not coming back from.Copy !req
808. What are you to me?Copy !req
809. Nothing.Copy !req
810. Have a seat here.Copy !req
811. Staros, I'm relieving you
of your command.Copy !req
812. Lieutenant Band will take over for you.Copy !req
813. I've already told him.Copy !req
814. It's a hard thing to do.Copy !req
815. Difficult decision to make.Copy !req
816. I don't think you're tough enough.Copy !req
817. You're too soft.
You're just too soft-hearted.Copy !req
818. You're not tough-fibered enough.Copy !req
819. Anyway, it's my decision to make.
I've already made it.Copy !req
820. I don't like to see my men get killed, sir.Copy !req
821. Have you ever had anyone
die in your arms, sir?Copy !req
822. Have you?Copy !req
823. I don't see any reason
to make a scandal out of this.Copy !req
824. I don't want it
in the records of the battalion.Copy !req
825. There's no reason
for you to have it on your records.Copy !req
826. This has nothing to do with
cowardice or inefficiency.Copy !req
827. Look at this jungle.Copy !req
828. Look at those vines, the way they twine
around the trees, swallowing everything.Copy !req
829. Nature's cruel, Staros.Copy !req
830. I'm going to let you apply for reassignment
to the Judge Advocate General Corps...Copy !req
831. in Washington
for reasons of ill health.Copy !req
832. You're a lawyer.Copy !req
833. - You had malaria yet?
- No, I haven't.Copy !req
834. Doesn't matter. I can fix that.Copy !req
835. Anyway, you probably will have it.Copy !req
836. I'm also recommending you
for the Silver Star.Copy !req
837. And I'll recommend it in such a way
it definitely won't be refused.Copy !req
838. Might as well have the Purple Heart too.Copy !req
839. Why?Copy !req
840. Because of that scratch on your face
and because of those cuts on your hands.Copy !req
841. Now, you listen to me, Staros.Copy !req
842. I think it's best you go back with
the next batch of wounded and prisoners.Copy !req
843. It is no goddamn good for you
to keep hanging around.Copy !req
844. The quieter we keep this,
the better it'll be for all.Copy !req
845. This is from Colonel Tall.Copy !req
846. "Our victory gives us
the highest reasons for pride.Copy !req
847. It will prove a milestone
in the battle for Guadalcanal.Copy !req
848. Tomorrow the division commander will
arrive to make an inspection of the line.Copy !req
849. After the inspection,
we're to be relieved...Copy !req
850. by a battalion
of the division's reserve regiment.Copy !req
851. I've secured for the battalion
a week's rest off the line. "Copy !req
852. That's all.Copy !req
853. Hours like months.Copy !req
854. Days like years.Copy !req
855. Walked into the golden age.Copy !req
856. Stood on the shores of the New World.Copy !req
857. I would've come by
and paid you guys a visit...Copy !req
858. but...Copy !req
859. I just felt like being alone, you know?Copy !req
860. Yeah?Copy !req
861. We wanted to thank you, sir.Copy !req
862. For asking to make that flanking move.Copy !req
863. For watching out for us.Copy !req
864. Keeping us together.Copy !req
865. We're all sorry to see you go.Copy !req
866. We feel like you got a rotten deal.Copy !req
867. Well, I'm not sure that you're right.Copy !req
868. The tough part is...Copy !req
869. not knowing if you're doing any good.Copy !req
870. That's the hard part.Copy !req
871. But it doesn't matter. I don't care.Copy !req
872. I'm glad to be going.Copy !req
873. I'm glad.Copy !req
874. There's still time.
We could file a complaint.Copy !req
875. For what?Copy !req
876. What good would that do?Copy !req
877. Anyway, I wanna go.Copy !req
878. Leave it alone. Let it lay.Copy !req
879. What does that mean, sir?Copy !req
880. It means "You've been like my sons. "Copy !req
881. You are my sons.Copy !req
882. My dear sons.Copy !req
883. You live inside me now.Copy !req
884. I'll carry you wherever I go.Copy !req
885. Can't nothing make you forget it.Copy !req
886. Each time you start from scratch.Copy !req
887. War don't ennoble men.Copy !req
888. It turns them into dogs.Copy !req
889. Poisons the soul.Copy !req
890. My dear wife...Copy !req
891. you get something twisted
out of your insides...Copy !req
892. by all this blood, filth and noise.Copy !req
893. I wanna stay changeless for you.Copy !req
894. I wanna come back to you
the man I was before.Copy !req
895. How do we get to those other shores?Copy !req
896. To those blue hills?Copy !req
897. Love.Copy !req
898. Where does it come from?Copy !req
899. Who lit this flame in us?Copy !req
900. No war can put it out...Copy !req
901. conquer it.Copy !req
902. I was a prisoner.Copy !req
903. You set me free.Copy !req
904. No matter how much training you got...Copy !req
905. how careful you are...Copy !req
906. it's a matter of luck
whether or not you get killed.Copy !req
907. Makes no difference who you are,
or how tough a guy you might be...Copy !req
908. if you're in the wrong spot
at the wrong time, you're gonna get it.Copy !req
909. I look at that boy dying...Copy !req
910. I don't feel nothing.Copy !req
911. I don't care about nothing anymore.Copy !req
912. Sounds like bliss.Copy !req
913. I don't have that feeling yet.Copy !req
914. That numbness.Copy !req
915. Not like the rest of you guys.Copy !req
916. Maybe because I knew what to expect.Copy !req
917. Maybe I was just frozen up already.Copy !req
918. I haven't touched another woman
since I was called up.Copy !req
919. Or talked to one.Copy !req
920. I don't wanna...Copy !req
921. I don't wanna feel the desire.Copy !req
922. Here you go.Copy !req
923. All right. Abrahams!Copy !req
924. Abrahams. Here you go.Copy !req
925. Stack! Where's Stack?Copy !req
926. - Bring him out.
- There.Copy !req
927. Bell?Copy !req
928. Bell!Copy !req
929. Another one for Bell.
Another one for Bell.Copy !req
930. Dear Jack...Copy !req
931. I've met an Air Force captain.
I've fallen in love with him.Copy !req
932. I want a divorce to marry him.Copy !req
933. I know you can say no,
but I'm asking you anyway...Copy !req
934. out of the memory
of what we had together.Copy !req
935. Forgive me.Copy !req
936. It just got too lonely, Jack.Copy !req
937. We'll meet again some day.Copy !req
938. People who have been as close
as we've been always meet again.Copy !req
939. I have no right to speak to you this way.Copy !req
940. I can't stop myself.Copy !req
941. A habit so strong.Copy !req
942. Oh, my friend of all those shining years.Copy !req
943. Help me leave you.Copy !req
944. What's your name?Copy !req
945. We were a family.Copy !req
946. How'd it break up and come apart?Copy !req
947. So that now we're
turned against each other.Copy !req
948. Each standing in the other's light.Copy !req
949. How did we lose the good
that was given us?Copy !req
950. Let it slip away?Copy !req
951. Scatter it careless?Copy !req
952. What's keeping us from reaching out?Copy !req
953. Touching the glory?Copy !req
954. I'd have had you, Witt, if you was a Jap...Copy !req
955. long ago.Copy !req
956. They leave you here?Copy !req
957. Yup.Copy !req
958. I slowed them up.Copy !req
959. Don't mind, really.Copy !req
960. The medic fixed me up pretty good.Copy !req
961. I got plenty of ammo.Copy !req
962. Somebody'll be along for me eventually.Copy !req
963. - They got you good.
- Right in the knee.Copy !req
964. Yeah.Copy !req
965. I'm out of this war for good, Witt.Copy !req
966. - What you doing down here?
- You know...Copy !req
967. I'm heading back to the company.Copy !req
968. Yeah.Copy !req
969. Well, you give all them boys my best.Copy !req
970. You can come with me if you want.Copy !req
971. I'll help you along.Copy !req
972. No, it's nice and quiet.Copy !req
973. Peaceful up here.Copy !req
974. I'd just slow you up.
There'll be somebody along.Copy !req
975. I'll remind them.Copy !req
976. Okay.Copy !req
977. Hey, Witt.Copy !req
978. Who you making trouble for today?Copy !req
979. What do you mean?Copy !req
980. Well, isn't that what you like to do?Copy !req
981. Turn left when they say "go right"?Copy !req
982. Why are you such a troublemaker, Witt?Copy !req
983. You care about me, don't you, sergeant?Copy !req
984. I always felt like you did.Copy !req
985. Why do you always
make yourself out like a rock?Copy !req
986. One day I can come up and talk to you.Copy !req
987. By the next day, it's like
we never even met.Copy !req
988. Lonely house now.Copy !req
989. Do you ever get lonely?Copy !req
990. Only around people.Copy !req
991. Only around people.Copy !req
992. You still believing in the beautiful light,
are you?Copy !req
993. How do you do that?Copy !req
994. You're a magician to me.Copy !req
995. I still see a spark in you.Copy !req
996. One man looks at a dying bird and thinks
there's nothing but unanswered pain.Copy !req
997. But death's got the final word.Copy !req
998. It's laughing at him.Copy !req
999. Another man sees that same bird...Copy !req
1000. feels the glory.Copy !req
1001. Feels something smiling through him.Copy !req
1002. We need to get out of here right now.Copy !req
1003. - You explain to headquarters the situation?
- No.Copy !req
1004. Do they know where we are?
Because we're sitting ducks out here.Copy !req
1005. Well, I think that's up to me
to judge, sergeant.Copy !req
1006. I think we just need to send somebody up
there and find out how close they are.Copy !req
1007. Okay? It's easy.Copy !req
1008. Hey, Weld,
get headquarters on that thing.Copy !req
1009. The fire's coming closer, sir.Copy !req
1010. Line's cut!Copy !req
1011. We need to send somebody out there
to find out where that line is being cut.Copy !req
1012. And we need to find out
how close they are.Copy !req
1013. Come on.Copy !req
1014. Okay. Okay.Copy !req
1015. Hey, you.Copy !req
1016. You go.Copy !req
1017. You're going, Fife.Copy !req
1018. Coombs. You go too.Copy !req
1019. - Come on!
- I'll go.Copy !req
1020. I want you to know I think
the whole thing's a bad idea, though.Copy !req
1021. If they come down here in any strength,
lieutenant, they'll knock our position to hell.Copy !req
1022. You don't have to go. Others'll volunteer.Copy !req
1023. No, I wanna go, sir. In case
something bad happens, I wanna be there.Copy !req
1024. All right. You stay by the river.Copy !req
1025. That jungle's too thick.
And be very careful.Copy !req
1026. I will.Copy !req
1027. Good luck, Witt.Copy !req
1028. You okay, Fife?Copy !req
1029. A reinforce battalion.Copy !req
1030. We need to go back.Copy !req
1031. Tell the lieutenant.Copy !req
1032. Let's go.Copy !req
1033. I'm hit!Copy !req
1034. One of us needs to stay here,
hold them off.Copy !req
1035. We'll be all right.Copy !req
1036. My friend here doesn't have long...Copy !req
1037. so you go.Copy !req
1038. You go on ahead.Copy !req
1039. Witt!Copy !req
1040. They're coming.Copy !req
1041. I gotta go. I don't want you to be afraid.Copy !req
1042. - Just hide out here till you hear firing...
- No, no.Copy !req
1043. - ... then push on down the river.
- No.Copy !req
1044. - Where's Coombs?
- Get back. Get back, they're coming.Copy !req
1045. Fall back.Copy !req
1046. Where's Witt? Fife, where's Witt?Copy !req
1047. Fife, where's Witt?Copy !req
1048. Fife. Fife, where's Witt?Copy !req
1049. America.Copy !req
1050. Where's your spark now?Copy !req
1051. Now, I know you men have been
making and drinking this goddamn swipe.Copy !req
1052. That's okay by me.Copy !req
1053. Everything a lie.Copy !req
1054. Any man in my outfit can get as drunk
as he wants to every night.Copy !req
1055. Everything you hear and see.Copy !req
1056. As long as he's in shape to make reveille
and carry out any assignment he is given.Copy !req
1057. If he can't do that,
he's gonna have trouble from me.Copy !req
1058. So much to spew out.Copy !req
1059. I prefer to think of myself
as a family man...Copy !req
1060. and that's what we all are here,
whether we like it or not.Copy !req
1061. We are a family.Copy !req
1062. I'm the father.Copy !req
1063. Guess that makes
Sergeant Welsh here the mother.Copy !req
1064. They just keep coming,
one after another.Copy !req
1065. That makes you all the children
in this family.Copy !req
1066. Now, a family can have only one head,
and that is the father.Copy !req
1067. Father's the head, mother runs it.
That's the way it's gonna work here.Copy !req
1068. If any of you men
wanna see me about anything...Copy !req
1069. You're in a box.Copy !req
1070. - ... anything at all...
- A moving box.Copy !req
1071. you will find that I am available.Copy !req
1072. This war is not gonna be over
by next Christmas.Copy !req
1073. It's gonna be a long time
before we get home...Copy !req
1074. They want you dead.Copy !req
1075. Or in their lie.Copy !req
1076. Only one thing a man can do.Copy !req
1077. Find something that's his.Copy !req
1078. Make an island for himself.Copy !req
1079. If I never meet you in this life...Copy !req
1080. let me feel the lack.Copy !req
1081. A glance from your eyes,
and my life will be yours.Copy !req
1082. Something I can come back to.
Some kind of foundation.Copy !req
1083. I mean, I don't know what...
You know, what your plans are, but...Copy !req
1084. I'm determined now.
I've been through the thick and thin of it.Copy !req
1085. You know, I may be young,
but I've lived plenty of life.Copy !req
1086. And I'm ready to start living it good.Copy !req
1087. You know, my daddy always told me it's
gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.Copy !req
1088. You know, because life ain't supposed
to be that hard when you're young.Copy !req
1089. Well, I figure after this,
the worst is gonna be gone.Copy !req
1090. It's time for things to get better.
That's what I want.Copy !req
1091. That's what's gonna happen.Copy !req
1092. I'm getting older now.Copy !req
1093. By no means old, but older.Copy !req
1094. Where is it that we were together?Copy !req
1095. Who were you that I lived with?Copy !req
1096. Walked with?Copy !req
1097. The brother.Copy !req
1098. The friend.Copy !req
1099. Darkness from light.Copy !req
1100. Strife from love.Copy !req
1101. Are they the workings of one mind?Copy !req
1102. The features of the same face?Copy !req
1103. Oh, my soul...Copy !req
1104. let me be in you now.Copy !req
1105. Look out through my eyes.Copy !req
1106. Look out at the things you made.Copy !req
1107. All things shining.Copy !req
