Emily...
1:32:32
Cmdr. Cummings is here to condole again.
1:32:37
Mother, I can't very well be condoled with.
1:32:39
I'm still pretending Charlie's alive.
1:32:42
As long as you know it's still pretending.
1:32:45
I do think, Emily, we've had enough
of this sinister withdrawal of yours.

1:32:48
It's eight days since you went off
into this medieval retreat.

1:32:51
You know, you're doing just what I did,
and you'll end just as dotty.

1:32:55
I promise you,
there's very little satisfaction in it.

1:33:07
Absolutely wooden with grief.
Sends her best but asks to be excused.

1:33:11
Yes, of course, I understand.
I just stopped by to show her this.

1:33:14
Thought it might make her feel better.
It's yesterday's New York Globe.

1:33:17
I'm onto that.
What did you want me to see?

1:33:20
The photograph, ma'am.
It's Charlie Madison...

1:33:22
the first American on Omaha Beach.
1:33:24
It's on the front page
of the New York Globe.

1:33:26
It can't be said to be a very good likeness.
It's mostly his back, isn't it?

1:33:29
This photograph was on the front page
of almost 200 papers in the US alone.

1:33:34
We honestly didn't think
it would catch on that big.

1:33:36
Our press office people just sent it out
as a standard release...

1:33:39
and first thing we knew it was...
1:33:41
Mrs. Barham, this picture was in almost
every London newspaper yesterday.

1:33:44
- I was sure you'd seen it.
- No.

1:33:47
Charlie's a hero, ma'am.
Our public relations office is talking now...

1:33:51
of holding some sort of ceremony
over his grave...

1:33:54
building some sort of monument.
1:33:56
A monument?
1:33:57
Probably nothing more
than a simple bronze plaque...
