1:34:00
but the French have indicated
they'd be willing...
1:34:02
to declare Charlie's grave
a French national shrine.
1:34:04
That's depraved.
1:34:06
As soon as I get an extra copy of Life
I'll bring it to you.
1:34:09
What on earth for?
1:34:11
This picture of Charlie
is on the front cover of Life magazine.
1:34:14
That's shoddy.
1:34:16
A French national monument.
1:34:18
I suppose one must expect
that sort of thing from the French.
1:34:21
But you're supposed to be his friend.
1:34:22
Couldn't you've done something to keep
this sordid business out of the press?
1:34:26
We're all very disappointed in Charlie...
1:34:28
but he's paid his price,
and there's no need to rake it up.
1:34:31
I don't think you have this exactly right.
Charlie's a hero.
1:34:34
Mother?
1:34:35
There she is. Now don't say a word to her.
1:34:38
I'll tell her when I think she's well enough.
1:34:45
Going to work?
That's very sensible of you.
1:34:47
I don't know how
you've put up with me this long.
1:34:49
Don't forget that man's still here
to commiserate.
1:34:51
This is his third condolence visit...
1:34:53
and he's going to say comforting things.
So you'll be polite to him?
1:34:56
- He's just a bit sincere.
- I must say I find him grotesque.
1:35:06
Yes. Emily, you're doing the right thing.
1:35:09
Bury yourself in work.
We've all got to keep going.
1:35:14
Emily, I must warn you,
Charlie's picture is in all the papers.
1:35:17
They're going to put up a monument
on his grave.
1:35:19
What on earth for? All he did was die.
1:35:23
Dear me, we should be celebrating cancer
and automobile smashups next.
1:35:27
He didn't just die. He sacrificed his life.
1:35:30
That was very pagan of him.
1:35:31
He was the first American
to die on Omaha Beach.
1:35:34
Was there a contest?
1:35:36
Emily, why, I don't understand you.
1:35:39
I thought you'd be proud.
1:35:43
You might as well burn this
along with yesterday's Daily Mail...
1:35:46
which I fished out of the garden fire.
1:35:48
We no longer take pride
in death in this house, Bus.
1:35:51
What was admirable about Charlie
was his sensation of life...
1:35:54
his cowardly, selfish,
greedy appreciation of life...
1:35:58
unadorned and uncertain as it is.
