- All right, take a break.
- Take a break.

:08:10
- How does your squad look?
- See me in about six months. Conway!

:08:21
I was checking the records.
Your father was Colonel Sam Conway.

:08:26
- What if he was?
- I was with him ten months ago.

:08:32
He was my CO before he got killed.
:08:35
One of the best officers and finest men
I ever served under.

:08:39
- I thought if you...
- Thanks. I'll keep it in mind.

:08:50
- For that, you sleep with your rifle.
- It was an accident.

:08:54
- Nobody in this outfit drops their rifle.
- Fall in!

:08:57
All right, saddle up. Pick it up.
:09:01
Sometimes I don't know
which I hate worse, him or the Nips.

:09:09
- Your father was a good marine.
- Until ten months ago.

:09:14
- You shipped in when he was killed.
- I shipped in because I was expected to.

:09:19
In war the men of my family
join the Marines.

:09:23
I'm the last Conway, so here I am.
:09:26
He'd be proud that
you're carrying on the tradition.

:09:30
Not my father. He'd have expected me
to find some soft duty somewhere.

:09:34
- In fact, he told me so.
- I don't get it.

:09:38
I embarrassed my father. I wasn't
tough enough for him. Too soft.

:09:43
"No guts" was the phrase he used.
He wanted me to be like Stryker.

:09:49
"The finest man I ever served under."
I bet they got along just fine.

:09:55
Both with ramrods strapped on their
backs. I'm a civilian, not a marine.
