Epstein's not up to it, men.
Why is that, Epstein?

330

00:29:21,362 --> 00:29:26,322
Listen. If you knew that
you were one of the guys
who wasn't coming back,

483
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,333
if you knew that right now,

484
00:29:28,401 --> 00:29:31,098
what would you do
with the last few days of your life?

485
00:29:31,171 --> 00:29:33,503
It could be anything
you want, any fantasy.

486
00:29:33,574 --> 00:29:35,837
I'll give everybody fives seconds
to think about it.

487
00:29:35,908 --> 00:29:39,072
<i>I thought of it.
I'd be one of the 1 .7 coming back.</i>

488
00:29:39,146 --> 00:29:41,909
That's morbid.
I like it!
Let's play for money.

489
00:29:41,981 --> 00:29:46,214
For money?
Yeah. Five bucks a man.
The guy with the best fantasy wins.

490
00:29:46,286 --> 00:29:50,052
That's nuts.
Okay. All right. I'm in.

491
00:29:50,124 --> 00:29:52,057
[Laughing]
Okay.

492
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:54,491
We need a judge.
I'll be the judge.

493
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,994
Why you?
Because I thought of the game.

494
00:29:57,063 --> 00:30:01,501
When it's my turn,
someone else judges me.
Ante up, everybody.

495
00:30:01,568 --> 00:30:04,799
Come on, Arnold.
Five bucks.
I don't sell my fantasies.

496
00:30:04,872 --> 00:30:06,805
Oh, Arnold!
[All Moaning]

497
00:30:06,873 --> 00:30:09,774
Don't be like that, Arnold.

498
00:30:11,477 --> 00:30:15,243
Okay. Carney, you're first.

499
00:30:15,314 --> 00:30:18,375
[Clears Throat]
You're gonna be dead,
killed in action.

500
00:30:18,452 --> 00:30:20,942
What do you wanna do
with the last few days of your life?

501
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:24,114
- How much time
do I have to do it in?
- A week.

502
00:30:24,191 --> 00:30:27,523
- I need 10 days.
- It's my game. You only get a week.

503
00:30:27,593 --> 00:30:31,426
What are you gonna do
with it, Donny?

504
00:30:31,496 --> 00:30:36,196
<i>Okay. I'd sing at
Radio City Music Hall.
[Selridge Laughing]</i>

505
00:30:36,269 --> 00:30:38,703
Five shows a day, my own spot.

506
00:30:38,771 --> 00:30:41,706
In the audience are 5,000
screaming, gorgeous girls,

507
00:30:41,774 --> 00:30:43,867
and every one of them
wants me.

508
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:47,275
And there's one man...
the president of Decca Records...

509
00:30:47,345 --> 00:30:51,282
and he wants to give me
a big contract, and I have
to make a choice.

510
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:54,251
Take the record contract.
I would take the record contract.

511
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,483
- Yeah, right. Right,
I'd take the record contract.
- Ha! Moron!

512
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:03,290
He could've humped 5,000 girls,
and now he's got a record contract
that ain't worth shit!

513
00:31:03,361 --> 00:31:06,024
Wrong, because now
I'm a big star,

514
00:31:06,099 --> 00:31:09,296
<i>and everyone knows that stars
get all the girls they want.
Oh, yeah?</i>

515
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:13,497
How? You're dead! Girls don't
go out with dead record stars!
[Laughing]

516
00:31:13,572 --> 00:31:18,600
Hey, bullshit! It's my fantasy!
I can do whatever I want with it!
What's my score, Gene?

517
00:31:18,677 --> 00:31:22,273
Well, you started off with an A-minus,
but you ended up with a "B."

518
00:31:22,347 --> 00:31:25,680
"B." [Laughs]
That's better than
I ever did in school.

519
00:31:25,751 --> 00:31:28,516
- Selridge is next.
- Okay, okay, here we go.

520
00:31:28,588 --> 00:31:33,217
[Laughing]
I make it with seven of
the richest women in the world.

521
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:37,387
And I'm so hot, each one of'em
gives me a million bucks.

522
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:40,829
So at the end of the week,
I got seven million bucks.
Pretty good, huh?

523
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,960
If you're dead, what're you gonna do
with seven million dollars?

524
00:31:45,037 --> 00:31:49,062
I told you, that's why I need 10 days.
I need to take a long weekend
and spend the money.

525
00:31:49,140 --> 00:31:52,133
Give up, suckers!
I got you all beat!
[Laughs]

526
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:56,203
<i>Moronic. It's beyond moronic.
It's submoronic.</i>

527
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:59,547
Yeah. Go ahead, Jerome.
Break their hearts
and tell 'em my score.

528
00:31:59,619 --> 00:32:03,053
It lacks poetry.
I give Selridge a B-minus.

529
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,112
<i>[Guys Laughing]
B-minus?
You give me a B-minus?</i>

530
00:32:06,190 --> 00:32:10,059
This creep becomes a dead
record star, and he gets a "B."
I want my money back!

531
00:32:10,128 --> 00:32:12,995
- Touch that money, and you're dead.
- I was kidding.

532
00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:16,329
You think I was serious?
I was... kiddin'. Who's next?

533
00:32:16,401 --> 00:32:20,359
- Hennesey.
- Me? Nah. I'm not ready yet.

534
00:32:20,437 --> 00:32:23,999
<i>It's your turn.
I'm not very good at things like this.</i>

535
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:25,975
Come on. Just say it.

536
00:32:27,812 --> 00:32:30,042
<i>I can't think of anything.
He can't think of anything!</i>

537
00:32:30,115 --> 00:32:33,812
- So he's out. Tough shit.
Give him an "F." Who's next?
- No, no. Okay, okay.

538
00:32:35,419 --> 00:32:37,387
I'd spend it with my family.

539
00:32:37,454 --> 00:32:39,547
Oh, is this guy serious?

540
00:32:39,623 --> 00:32:41,921
<i>[Selridge Scoffng]
What an asshole.
"I'd spend it with my family."</i>

541
00:32:41,992 --> 00:32:46,930
No. Come on. It's my last week.
I can do whatever I want, and I'd...
yeah, I'd like it to be with my family.

542
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:49,523
Okay, Jerome, what do you
give him for that crap?

543
00:32:49,601 --> 00:32:54,037
Well, it's not that interesting,
but at least it's honest. B-plus.

544
00:32:54,104 --> 00:32:57,096
Oh!
Okay, that's it!
This game is fixed!

545
00:32:57,174 --> 00:32:59,108
I'm calling the military police.

546
00:32:59,176 --> 00:33:01,805
I get a B-minus for screwing
seven millionairesses,

547
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,848
and he gets a B-plus for
going home to his mother?

548
00:33:04,915 --> 00:33:07,678
I wanna change my answer.
I wanna visit sick children
in the hospital!

549
00:33:07,750 --> 00:33:11,243
Will you knock it off, Selridge!
You had your turn!

550
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:13,256
<i>See you in the morning.</i>

551
00:33:13,324 --> 00:33:16,418
<i>??[Bugle Call]</i>

552
00:33:16,493 --> 00:33:20,691
As you were.
Lights out in five minutes, boys.

553
00:33:20,764 --> 00:33:22,857
Better get your rest.

554
00:33:22,933 --> 00:33:26,528
You never know what surprise
is coming up tomorrow.

555
00:33:28,439 --> 00:33:31,202
Okay, Wykowski, you're next.
Okay.

556
00:33:32,508 --> 00:33:34,943
[Snaps Fingers]
[Laughing]

557
00:33:35,012 --> 00:33:38,573
I always wanted to make it
with a world-famous woman,

558
00:33:38,649 --> 00:33:41,482
somebody that nobody could have
in this country but me.

559
00:33:41,552 --> 00:33:45,043
I'd be the only American
to have her.
Have you someone in mind?

560
00:33:45,121 --> 00:33:47,453
Yeah, I got someone in mind.
[Laughing]

561
00:33:47,523 --> 00:33:50,755
I think we're heading for an A-plus.
Who's the woman, 'Kowski?

562
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:53,456
The queen of England.
Boom!

563
00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:56,292
Queen of England?
[Groans]
That is disgusting!

564
00:33:56,365 --> 00:33:59,358
It's like making it
with your own grandmother.
For a whole week?

565
00:33:59,435 --> 00:34:02,427
Maybe we'd stop
for tea and crumpets.
[Laughing]

566
00:34:02,505 --> 00:34:05,669
Apes and gorillas.
I'm living with apes and gorillas.

567
00:34:05,743 --> 00:34:08,006
Come on. What's his score?
Give him his score.

568
00:34:08,077 --> 00:34:11,910
[English Accent] Yes, give
the Earl of Meat Loaf his score.
This is a tough one.

569
00:34:11,980 --> 00:34:15,348
I find it completely
unredeeming in every way...

570
00:34:15,418 --> 00:34:18,410
morally, ethically and sexually.

571
00:34:18,488 --> 00:34:20,854
But it's got style.
[Laughing]

572
00:34:20,924 --> 00:34:22,892
A-minus.
A-minus?

573
00:34:22,959 --> 00:34:27,055
You're sick. You give the highest score
to the guy who humps the mother
of the British Empire?

574
00:34:27,130 --> 00:34:29,997
Hey, so I'm winning, right?
Not yet.
There's two more to go.

575
00:34:30,066 --> 00:34:33,694
Epstein's next.
I wanna hear what his last week
on Earth would be like.

576
00:34:33,769 --> 00:34:36,739
Probably wants to take
an English exam at city college.

577
00:34:36,806 --> 00:34:39,673
<i>??[Bugle Call]
Hurry up.
They're blowing retreat.</i>

578
00:34:39,742 --> 00:34:44,406
Come on, Arnold.
It's your last week on Earth.
What's your secret desire?

579
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,108
I don't want to say it.
If I say it, it might not come true.

580
00:34:48,183 --> 00:34:52,018
I know. He wants to pass gas.
He wants to bend over
and blow up the whole world.

581
00:34:52,088 --> 00:34:57,685
[Laughing]
Will you give him a chance, please?
He has one. What is it, Arnold?

582
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,990
<i>What's the last thing
you wanna do on this earth?</i>

583
00:35:03,365 --> 00:35:07,735
I would like to make...
Sergeant Merwin J. Toomey...

584
00:35:07,804 --> 00:35:10,739
do 200 pushups
in front of this platoon.

585
00:35:12,641 --> 00:35:14,802
That's good.

586
00:35:14,876 --> 00:35:17,640
I hate to admit it,
but it's good.
It's all right.

587
00:35:17,713 --> 00:35:19,806
Five hundred would've been better.

588
00:35:19,881 --> 00:35:21,849
I think it's terrific. A-plus.

589
00:35:21,917 --> 00:35:24,408
Ooh!
A-plus? You're crazy.
Now you can't win.

590
00:35:24,486 --> 00:35:29,116
I could still tie him.
All right. But if it's a tie,
all bets are off. Nobody wins.

591
00:35:29,191 --> 00:35:31,558
Fair enough.
Somebody else has to judge me.

592
00:35:31,627 --> 00:35:33,821
Wykowski, pick a judge.

593
00:35:33,895 --> 00:35:37,227
[Chuckles]
Okay, sure. I pick Selridge.
I love it!

594
00:35:37,298 --> 00:35:41,065
No matter what crap
he says, he gets an A-plus.
Your money is safe, boys.

595
00:35:41,136 --> 00:35:43,900
<i>Retreat means lights out,
goddamn it!</i>

596
00:35:45,340 --> 00:35:48,572
I never had men do pushups
in bed before.

597
00:35:48,644 --> 00:35:51,133
I could start tonight.

598
00:35:56,918 --> 00:35:59,716
Come on, Jerome.
Let's hear yours.
All right.

599
00:36:01,256 --> 00:36:03,281
[Clears Throat]

600
00:36:03,358 --> 00:36:05,587
[Laughing]
Okay.

601
00:36:06,594 --> 00:36:09,028
I always wanted to get mine,

602
00:36:09,096 --> 00:36:11,861
wiping out an entire battalion
ofJapanese marines.

603
00:36:11,933 --> 00:36:15,061
<i>Forget the medals. What do you do
with your last week on Earth?</i>

604
00:36:16,170 --> 00:36:19,470
[Chuckles]
I would lose my virginity,

605
00:36:19,541 --> 00:36:22,134
win the Pulitzer Prize
for Literature...

606
00:36:23,644 --> 00:36:25,976
and fall in love
with the perfect girl.

607
00:36:26,047 --> 00:36:29,380
Why don't you just score
the winning touchdown
for Notre Dame while you're at it?

608
00:36:29,450 --> 00:36:31,748
Give him his score so's we
can take our money back.

609
00:36:31,819 --> 00:36:33,878
I give him a C-minus.

610
00:36:33,954 --> 00:36:37,822
<i>What?
Hey, I'm not gonna let him
beat me with that pissy story.</i>

611
00:36:37,892 --> 00:36:39,985
<i>[Muffled Screaming]
I came up with something hot.</i>

612
00:36:40,061 --> 00:36:42,325
I'm not giving him an A-plus
for falling in love.

613
00:36:42,396 --> 00:36:46,890
- Why doesn't he go home
and visit Hennesey's family?
- Jesus, you're a moron!

614
00:36:46,967 --> 00:36:50,233
Go look in the latrine and see
if you dropped your brain.

615
00:36:50,305 --> 00:36:53,865
All right. Come on.
Arnold, you win.
It's your money.

616
00:36:53,941 --> 00:36:55,874
[Sighing]

617
00:36:55,942 --> 00:36:59,709
Oh, man, it never fails.
It's always theJews who
end up with the money, right?

618
00:36:59,780 --> 00:37:03,546
I don't know. I never met
a Jew before the army.
They're easy to spot.

619
00:37:03,617 --> 00:37:06,052
There's one.

620
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,213
There's another one.
[Laughs]

621
00:37:08,289 --> 00:37:12,281
They're the ones who slide
the bacon under their toast so no one
sees 'em eat it. Right, Jerome?

622
00:37:12,358 --> 00:37:15,624
I'm not going to take
thatJew crap from you
anymore, Wykowski.

623
00:37:15,696 --> 00:37:19,529
I know you can probably beat
the hell out of me, but I'm not
going to take it from you anymore.

624
00:37:19,599 --> 00:37:23,969
Sure, you will. You're gonna take
any shit from me, okay?
Hey, hey. Shh!

625
00:37:24,038 --> 00:37:28,235
Come on. Let's see how tough
you are, 'cause I'm gonna...
Cut it out, Wykowski!

626
00:37:28,308 --> 00:37:31,073
What difference does it
make what religion he is?
I didn't start it.

627
00:37:31,145 --> 00:37:33,738
Epstein's the one who's too good
to take orders, isn't he?

628
00:37:33,813 --> 00:37:37,682
If he doesn't shape up,
I'll bust his face whether
he's got a Jew nose or not!

629
00:37:37,751 --> 00:37:39,844
<i>Ten-hut!</i>

630
00:37:52,398 --> 00:37:55,425
What the hell's going on here?
Nothing, Sergeant.

631
00:37:55,503 --> 00:37:57,595
What do you mean,

The other soldier
with Private Lindstrom...

1275
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:27,237
flew out that window with
the dexterity of a paratrooper.

1276
01:21:27,310 --> 01:21:29,574
He was seen but not identified...

1277
01:21:29,646 --> 01:21:32,809
entering the latrine window
of my barracks a few minutes later.

1278
01:21:32,882 --> 01:21:38,081
Unlike the missing $62,
this time it wasn't me.

1279

So, who the hell was it?

1280
01:21:45,729 --> 01:21:49,325
Private Lindstrom,
a nervous young man,

1281
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,391
will surely crack under the strain
of interrogation.

1282
01:21:53,469 --> 01:21:58,806
Therefore, if the guilty party in this room
wishes to admit his indiscretion,

1283
01:21:58,875 --> 01:22:02,470
he will not only lessen his sentence
in Leavenworth Prison,

1284
01:22:02,545 --> 01:22:05,309
but will save this company
what I promise you will be pain,

beyond the endurance of man.

I'm trying to tell you...

1437
01:34:08,461 --> 01:34:13,023
my active career in the U.S. Army
has been terminated.

1438
01:34:13,098 --> 01:34:15,566
<i>I'm finished.
You understand?</i>

1439
01:34:15,634 --> 01:34:18,831
Retired before 40.
That's sad, isn't it?

1440
01:34:18,904 --> 01:34:22,840
<i>Do you find that sad, Jerome?
Yes, it is sad.</i>

1441
01:34:24,877 --> 01:34:28,438
One night, from my room here,

1442
01:34:28,514 --> 01:34:33,042
I heard that game you played
with the men in the barracks.

1443
01:34:33,118 --> 01:34:36,644
How each man could have
his own fantasy...

1444
01:34:36,721 --> 01:34:38,848
with only a week to live.

1445
01:34:38,923 --> 01:34:41,085
I want to play that game, Jerome.

1446
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,924
Here's my five bucks.

1447
01:34:43,996 --> 01:34:46,726
<i>You tell me if I win.</i>

1448
01:34:46,799 --> 01:34:49,028
You can't win, Sergeant.
The game is over.

1449
01:34:49,100 --> 01:34:53,560
Not yet. Not till
I had my turn, all right?

1450
01:34:56,876 --> 01:35:02,370
You know what I would do
with my last week on Earth?

1451
01:35:02,447 --> 01:35:06,144
I'd like to take one
army misfit, dumb-ass,

1452
01:35:06,217 --> 01:35:08,913
subhuman, useless
son of a bitch...

1453
01:35:08,987 --> 01:35:11,012
and turn him...

1454
01:35:11,089 --> 01:35:14,059
into an obedient, disciplined soldier...

1455
01:35:14,126 --> 01:35:16,389
this army could be proud of.

1456
01:35:16,461 --> 01:35:20,796
I got two in this company...
you and Epstein.

1457
01:35:22,467 --> 01:35:27,403
But Epstein's hopeless.
You're my last hope, Jerome.

1458
01:35:27,471 --> 01:35:30,066
You're gonna make
my fantasy come true.

1459
01:35:30,141 --> 01:35:33,542
None of them actually came true.
It was just a game.

1460
01:35:33,611 --> 01:35:37,877
Right. Except
tonight's the real thing.

1461
01:35:37,949 --> 01:35:43,478
And I don't have a week to do it in.
We're gonna do it now, soldier.

1462
01:35:43,555 --> 01:35:46,115
On your feet, dogface!

1463
01:35:46,190 --> 01:35:48,420
Sergeant, I don't think
that you're in any condition...

1464
01:35:48,493 --> 01:35:50,427
On your feet!

1465
01:35:52,298 --> 01:35:54,230
Ten-hut!

1466
01:36:02,740 --> 01:36:08,178
A crime has been committed
in this room tonight, Jerome.

1467
01:36:08,246 --> 01:36:13,512
A noncommissioned officer
has threatened the life of an enlisted man,

1468
01:36:13,584 --> 01:36:17,021
brandishing a loaded weapon at him
without cause or provocation...

1469
01:36:17,088 --> 01:36:19,647
while under the influence
of alcohol.

1470
01:36:19,723 --> 01:36:22,021
I am that officer, Jerome.

1471
01:36:22,092 --> 01:36:24,618
It is your unquestioned duty...

1472
01:36:24,696 --> 01:36:27,664
to report this incident
to the proper authorities.

1473
01:36:27,731 --> 01:36:31,599
That's okay. I didn't mind.

1474
01:36:31,668 --> 01:36:34,660
As I'm piss-drunk and dangerous,

1475
01:36:34,738 --> 01:36:38,196
it's also your duty
to relieve me of my loaded weapon.

1476
01:36:38,275 --> 01:36:42,769
I could just leave,
and I would never talk about it.

1477
01:36:42,846 --> 01:36:45,541
Take my weapon, goddamn it.

1478
01:36:45,615 --> 01:36:49,017
What do you mean, take it?
How am I supposed to take it?

1479
01:36:49,086 --> 01:36:53,284
Demand it, you weasel bastard,
or I'll blow your puny brains out.

1480
01:36:54,559 --> 01:36:59,290
Okay, okay. Um,
may I have your gun, Sergeant?

1481
01:36:59,362 --> 01:37:02,958
Pistol, turd-head!
May I have your pistol, Sergeant?

1482
01:37:03,033 --> 01:37:06,901
Force it out of my hand.
Force it out of your hand?

1483
01:37:06,970 --> 01:37:10,030
How am I supposed
to force it out of your hand?

1484
01:37:10,107 --> 01:37:13,270
Grab my wrist, if you dare.
I can't.
You're stronger than I am.

1485
01:37:13,343 --> 01:37:16,334
Grab it or I'll shoot,
goddamn you!

1486
01:37:32,261 --> 01:37:36,357
Okay. Okay. Thank you.

1487
01:37:36,432 --> 01:37:41,735
Now, why don't you just try
to get a good night's sleep?

1488
01:37:44,107 --> 01:37:46,871
To properly charge me,
you need witnesses.

1489
01:37:46,943 --> 01:37:49,672
Assemble the men
outside the barracks.

1490
01:37:49,745 --> 01:37:53,909
Why? I took your gun.
Aren't you satisfied? I am.

1491
01:37:53,983 --> 01:37:58,785
It's regulations. As long as you
obey regulations, I win the bet.

1492
01:38:00,356 --> 01:38:02,586
Assemble the men.

1493
01:38:07,897 --> 01:38:11,958
Oh. Hi, fellas.

1494
01:38:12,034 --> 01:38:17,199
Um, would you
come outside for a minute?

1495
01:38:17,273 --> 01:38:20,902
Sergeant wants to speak to us.

1496
01:38:39,894 --> 01:38:43,557
Men, as you can see,

1497
01:38:45,568 --> 01:38:48,036
I'm piss-drunk.

1498
01:38:48,104 --> 01:38:53,370
I've also just threatened to blow
PrivateJerome's brains out.

1499
01:38:53,441 --> 01:38:57,707
PrivateJerome
has relieved me of my weapon,
placed me under arrest.

1500
01:38:57,779 --> 01:39:00,305
<i>You're all witnesses.</i>

1501
01:39:00,382 --> 01:39:03,578
<i>Before taking me to headquarters
to file charges,</i>

1502
01:39:03,651 --> 01:39:07,314
I'd just like to add
that PrivateJerome...

1503
01:39:07,388 --> 01:39:11,085
has displayed outstanding courage
and carried out his duty...

1504
01:39:11,159 --> 01:39:14,128
in the manner of a first-class soldier.

1505
01:39:14,195 --> 01:39:17,596
I'm putting him up for commendation.
I'm ready to go, Jerome.

1506
01:39:17,665 --> 01:39:21,658
I think that's a decision that
should be left to the men, Sergeant.

1507
01:39:21,736 --> 01:39:23,932
Is that right?

1508
01:39:24,006 --> 01:39:25,939
That's right.

1509
01:39:30,177 --> 01:39:33,238
Private Epstein,

1510
01:39:33,314 --> 01:39:37,114
in your opinion,
should we drop the charges or not?

1511
01:39:39,087 --> 01:39:41,884
No. No charges.

1512
01:39:41,955 --> 01:39:46,858
I think the sergeant should get
company punishment, like the rest of us.

1513
01:39:48,963 --> 01:39:51,693
That be all right, Sergeant?

1514
01:39:51,766 --> 01:39:55,132
The two misfits
are in charge, huh? Fine.

1515
01:39:55,203 --> 01:39:58,899
Handle this any way you want,
as long as justice is served.

1516
01:39:58,972 --> 01:40:01,065
You name it, Epstein.

1517
01:40:01,141 --> 01:40:06,910
I think justice would be served
if you gave us 200 pushups.

1518
01:40:06,981 --> 01:40:09,710
Very decisive.

1519
01:40:09,783 --> 01:40:12,912
That's a disciplined soldier
for you, men.

1520
01:40:12,987 --> 01:40:15,011
Thank you.

1521
01:40:18,225 --> 01:40:21,126
Hit the dirt?
Hit the dirt!

1522
01:40:23,831 --> 01:40:26,265
- Count off?
- What?

1523
01:40:26,333 --> 01:40:29,531
- Tell me to count off!
- Right. Count off.

1524
01:40:29,604 --> 01:40:31,764
Yes, Private Epstein.

1525
01:40:31,839 --> 01:40:36,401
One, two, three, four, five,

1526
01:40:36,476 --> 01:40:41,004
six, seven, eight, nine, 10,

1527
01:40:41,081 --> 01:40:45,450
<i>11, 12, 13, 14, 15,</i>

1528
01:40:45,519 --> 01:40:49,511
<i>16, 17, 18, 19, 20,</i>

1529
01:40:49,589 --> 01:40:52,252
<i>21, 22, 23...
[Counting Continues]</i>

1530
01:40:52,326 --> 01:40:55,523
<i>[Jerome Narrating]
We never saw Sergeant Toomey again.</i>

1531
01:40:55,596 --> 01:40:59,054
<i>Our new sergeant was a sane,
logical and decent man,</i>

1532
01:40:59,132 --> 01:41:03,727
<i>and after four weeks with him,
we realized how much we missed
Sergeant Toomey.</i>

1533
01:41:03,803 --> 01:41:07,865
<i>One should never underestimate
the stimulation of eccentricity.</i>

1534
01:41:08,508 --> 01:41:12,876
<i>I told Daisy I was shipping out
and that this was the last time
we'd have together.</i>

1535
01:41:12,945 --> 01:41:16,609
<i>She said, "I know you'll find
another girl someday, Gene,</i>

1536
01:41:16,683 --> 01:41:20,914
<i>but you'll never forget me because
we'll always be each other's first love. '"</i>

1537
01:41:20,987 --> 01:41:23,922
<i>Long after the war,
I ran into Daisy in New York.</i>

1538
01:41:23,990 --> 01:41:27,790
<i>She still looked great.
She married a doctor from New Orleans.</i>

1539
01:41:27,860 --> 01:41:30,659
<i>Her name is now Daisy Horowitz.</i>

1540
01:41:30,731 --> 01:41:33,325
<i>Oh, well.
Biloxi was beautiful.</i>

1541
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:36,663
<i>We were heading
for the Battle of the Pacifc,</i>

1542
01:41:36,735 --> 01:41:39,364
<i>and there wasn't one of us
who wasn't really scared.</i>

1543
01:41:39,405 --> 01:41:41,873
<i>But suddenly they dropped
the bomb on Hiroshima,</i>

1544
01:41:41,908 --> 01:41:44,604
<i>and six days later the war was over.</i>

1545
01:41:44,677 --> 01:41:49,876
<i>So when you get down to it,
the only action we really saw
was up in Rowena's place.</i>

1546
01:41:49,949 --> 01:41:52,940
<i>Sure, we were glad
our lives were spared,</i>

1547
01:41:53,018 --> 01:41:57,080
<i>but the guys who came before us
and the ones who didn't make it back home...</i>

1548
01:41:57,156 --> 01:41:59,386
<i>haunted me for the rest of my life.</i>

1549
01:42:01,761 --> 01:42:05,458
<i>Roy Selridge decided
to make the army his career,</i>

1550
01:42:05,531 --> 01:42:08,192
<i>and 18 years later
he was still a buck private.</i>

1551
01:42:08,266 --> 01:42:10,758
<i>I guess he never really did
hit his peak.</i>

1552
01:42:10,836 --> 01:42:15,704
<i>Joseph Wykowski became
a high school football coach
in Albany, New York.</i>

1553
01:42:15,774 --> 01:42:20,474
<i>He's married with six kids,
weighs 280 pounds and has an ulcer.</i>

1554
01:42:20,546 --> 01:42:23,538
<i>He's on a low-fat,
cottage cheese diet.</i>

1555
01:42:24,784 --> 01:42:27,718
<i>Don Carney became
a first grade school teacher,</i>

1556
01:42:27,786 --> 01:42:30,311
<i>and he's someone
the kids can really count on.</i>

1557
01:42:30,388 --> 01:42:33,586
<i>He never got married, and he enjoys
singing in his church choir.</i>

1558
01:42:35,895 --> 01:42:40,125
<i>Arnold Epstein became a lawyer
and eventually the district attorney
of Brooklyn.</i>

1559
01:42:40,197 --> 01:42:43,690
<i>The Mafa calls him
the most feared man in New York.</i>

1560
01:42:46,237 --> 01:42:48,900
<i>As for me, I finally found
the perfect girl.</i>

1561
01:42:48,975 --> 01:42:51,739
<i>I got married
and had two great daughters.</i>

1562
01:42:51,811 --> 01:42:54,040
<i>I became a writer.
I wrote a few plays...</i>

1563
01:42:54,112 --> 01:42:56,672
<i>andjust finished one
called Biloxi Blues.</i>

1564
01:42:56,748 --> 01:42:58,215
<i>Everything in it is true,</i>

1565
01:42:58,249 --> 01:43:01,685
<i>except that Rowena never gave me
a second one for free.</i>

1566
01:43:01,753 --> 01:43:04,882
<i>Maybe I'll leave that out
if they ever make it into a movie.</i>

1567
01:43:06,925 --> 01:43:10,622
<i>As I look back now,
a lot of years later,</i>

1568
01:43:10,695 --> 01:43:14,688
<i>I realize my time in the army
was the happiest time of my life.</i>

1569
01:43:14,766 --> 01:43:17,257
<i>God knows not because
I liked the army,</i>

1570
01:43:17,335 --> 01:43:20,270
<i>and there sure was nothing
to like about a war.</i>

1571
01:43:20,338 --> 01:43:24,934
<i>I liked it for the most selfish
reason of all: Because I was young.</i>

1572
01:43:25,010 --> 01:43:28,469
<i>We all were...
me and Epstein and Wykowski,</i>

1573
01:43:28,547 --> 01:43:32,641
<i>Selridge, Carney, Hennesey
and even Sergeant Toomey.</i>

1574
01:43:32,716 --> 01:43:35,743
<i>I didn't really like
most of those guys then,</i>

1575
01:43:35,820 --> 01:43:39,017
<i>but today
I love every damn one of them.</i>

1576
01:43:40,125 --> 01:43:42,184
<i>Life is weird, you know?</i>

1577
01:44:39,249 --> 01:44:43,515
<i>? Good-bye, dear
I'll be back in a year ?</i>

1578
01:44:43,587 --> 01:44:47,648
<i>? 'Cause I'm in the army now ?</i>

1579
01:44:48,992 --> 01:44:52,950
<i>? They took my number out of a hat ?</i>

1580
01:44:53,029 --> 01:44:57,399
<i>?And there's nothing a guy
can do about that ?</i>

1581
01:44:57,468 --> 01:45:02,337
<i>?But when I get back
I'll be all tanned and brown ?</i>

1582
01:45:02,406 --> 01:45:06,671
<i>?And we'll buy that cottage
just outside of town ?</i>

1583
01:45:06,742 --> 01:45:11,442
<i>?So good-bye, dear
I'll be back in a year ?</i>

1584
01:45:11,515 --> 01:45:15,041
<i>?Don't forget that I love you ?</i>

1585
01:46:02,732 --> 01:46:07,328
<i>? Good-bye, dear
I'll be back in a year ?</i>

1586
01:46:07,403 --> 01:46:10,964
<i>? 'Cause I'm in the army now ?</i>

1587
01:46:12,574 --> 01:46:16,635
<i>?Don't I look handsome
dressed up like this ?</i>

1588
01:46:16,711 --> 01:46:21,308
<i>?Stop your cryin'
and give your soldier a kiss ?</i>

1589
01:46:21,384 --> 01:46:26,151
<i>? They may send me out
to the old Philippines ?</i>

1590
01:46:26,222 --> 01:46:30,590
<i>?But, sweetheart, you'll still be
the girl of my dreams ?</i>

1591
01:46:30,659 --> 01:46:35,255
<i>?So good-bye, dear
I'll be back in a year ?</i>

1592
01:46:35,330 --> 01:46:39,495
<i>?Don't forget that I love you ??</i>
