1:45:00
Yes, sir. They're going to fly
him out tonight. But, sir--
1:45:03
Okay. I want you to take
his place.
1:45:06
From now on,
you're a squad leader.
1:45:07
And you will be as long
as you stay sober.
1:45:09
Yes, sir.
1:45:10
You take over the squad.
Conroy'll be your assistant.
1:45:12
You'll have to get me
another assistant.
1:45:14
Why, what's the matter?
Don't you like con--
1:45:18
What's the matter?
1:45:21
What is it?
1:45:23
All the way, Lieutenant.
It's Conroy.
1:45:32
Conroy?
1:45:34
[Whispers]
Conroy?
1:45:41
That hit him
6 feet deep.
1:45:43
I'll talk to him.
1:45:44
Aw, let him alone.
1:45:50
Lieutenant?
1:45:52
Beat it.
1:45:53
I have a paper
addressed to you, sir.
1:45:55
Tear it up.
1:45:56
It's from Doc.
1:45:58
Yeah, Doc.
1:46:00
I told Doc I believed
in nothing but 7 guys.
1:46:04
Now one's blind.
4 are dead.
1:46:07
And the rest of us
are gonna get it, too.
1:46:10
TheJaps have got
the right idea...
1:46:14
kill yourself.
1:46:17
His last words
to me were...
1:46:19
""I put down on paper
something I've been
1:46:21
""trying to tell
the lieutenant.
1:46:22
""It ain't finished, but
will you take a look at it?
1:46:25
Maybe fix it up?
I mean, being a writer...""
1:46:27
I tried. It didn't
need any fixing.
1:46:29
Tear it up.
I don't want to hear it.
1:46:31
Well, you're
gonna hear it
1:46:33
whether you want to
or not, Lieutenant.
1:46:39
From pharmacist's mate
second class
1:46:41
C.E "" Doc"" Jones
to Lieutenant Anderson.
1:46:44
Sir...
1:46:46
I ask the lieutenant's
permission
1:46:48
to read this to the men
of our platoon.
