1:03:33
You're plumb right.
1:03:34
You've got the using
kind of religion,

1:03:40
I know,
and i hate to be telling you,
1:03:42
but i don't want
to see you get in no trouble.
1:03:44
You got to register,

1:03:47
They can make you
go to war,
1:03:48
even if it's

1:03:50

make you do that.
1:03:52
It's what i want

1:03:57

religious sects
1:04:07
"whose existent creed
forbids its members to participate in war
1:04:12
"are entitled
to request exemption
1:04:14
from military service."
1:04:16
What's that there
"exemption"?
1:04:17
That means
if you're exempted,
1:04:19
you don't have to go.
1:04:21
How do i get
this exemption?
1:04:23
You got to write a letter
to the draft board.
1:04:26
Is that all
there are to it?
1:04:29
Yep.
1:04:29
Well, sure,
i'll register.
1:04:31
Will you write
the letter for me?
1:04:33
I'd be glad to, alvin.
Come on over here.
