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.
1:36:00
I loved him very much.
1:36:02
I don't think I shall
ever love anyone as much...

1:36:04
but I shall try.
1:36:07
Are you going back
to the Navy building, Bus?

1:36:10
No, I have to stop by the hospital to pick
the Admiral up.

1:36:14
Drop me at the Edgware Road.
I'll take a bus from there.

1:36:17
I thought I saw her peering at me
when I was burning those papers.

1:36:27
I was damn fond of Charlie.
1:36:30
He's one of the few really decent
human beings I've ever known...

1:36:33
aside from being the best dog-robber
in the world.

1:36:36
What the hell was Charlie
doing on Omaha Beach anyway?

1:36:39
Sir?
1:36:40
What exactly was this movie
Charlie was making on Omaha Beach?

1:36:44
What was Charlie doing
making a movie in the first place?

1:36:46
He was making your movie, sir.
1:36:48
Yeah, you keep saying it was my movie.
What do you mean, my movie?

1:36:52
The movie you wanted made
about the demolition engineers.

1:36:55
I don't remember a...
1:36:57
Oh my God, Bus.
