1:12:02
Almost like I'm the guy
that really counts.
1:12:06
She even left San Diego.
1:12:08
She's a secretary in a defense plant
up near San Francisco now.
1:12:12
Mac, you've kicked around a long time.
1:12:16
What would you do in my shoes?
1:12:22
I don't know, Marion. You're the only
guy that can answer that.
1:12:26
I've seen a lot of funny things happen
on this lash-up.
1:12:29
I've seen girls like Rae...
1:12:32
And I know Marines that took a chance
on them and married them.
1:12:36
Most of the time it worked out okay.
1:12:41
They're a funny breed, kid.
1:12:44
If they find the right man...
1:12:46
...they can give him the love
and the understanding...
1:12:49
...that all of us want
but few of us get.
1:12:53
But the guy has to be a big man.
1:12:57
He's gotta erase an awful lot
of ugly pictures from his mind.
1:13:10
Gomez, come here.
Where'd you get them ribbons?
1:13:13
- Army-Navy store.
- Take them off before you get locked up.
1:13:19
Strike me, look at the medals
on the bloke.
1:13:22
He must have been everywhere,
eh, Marine?
1:13:24
This boy's been around, buddy.
1:13:26
You see this one here?
1:13:28
Silver Star. Won it for gallantry
on Guadalcanal.
1:13:31
I'll never forget that day
as long as I live.
1:13:34
Me and my boys were on this patrol...
1:13:36
...over the Kokumbona River
near Tassafaronga Point.
1:13:39
And what happens? I get lost
from the rest of the men.
1:13:43
So I come to this clearing.
It's blazing hot...
1:13:45
...120 in the shade,
sweat gushing off me...
1:13:49
...when all of a sudden, boom!
Everything hit the fan.
1:13:52
They must have thought I was a general.
1:13:54
Japs popped up from everywhere.
1:13:58
I peer over to my left,
and what do I see?
