:44:00
there was an air raid,
:44:02
and the building that we were in
got a direct hit.

:44:10
She was killed.
:44:18
After that...
:44:21
I didn't want to go on living.
:44:25
You'd think that'd be easy enough
in war, but it didn't work.

:44:29
I wanted to die,
but I got medals instead.

:44:34
I could see the trouble
in your face when you first came.

:44:37
It is not good to die inside.
:44:40
It was like living a bad dream.
:44:43
Here we bury
the dead in the earth,

:44:45
not in our hearts.
:44:48
Is the dream over now?
:44:51
I think so.
:44:55
You said something
about never going home.

:44:57
- What did you mean?
- I meant just that.

:45:00
Would you rather stay here?
:45:03
I never want to be anywhere else.
:45:05
And will you always come back?
:45:09
Always.
:45:12
Then I will always be here.
:45:46
- Good morning, sir.
- Oh, hello, Bill.

:45:48
- Sit down, will you?
- Thanks.

:45:51
Rather a dull job for you today, I'm afraid.
I know you won't mind helping out.

:45:55
You haven't flown with that new
navigator of yours yet, have you?

:45:59
No, sir, not yet.
