1:14:03
I guess you're right.
1:14:05
They're already putting the pressure
on your pals to postpone independence.

1:14:09
What's a few years,
a few centuries, to those people?

1:14:13
And I'm glad you finally got some sense...
1:14:16
...and pulled out before it was too late.
1:14:20
Now, listen, Mike, you bigoted, ignorant...
1:14:24
I'll try to enlighten
you, but I doubt I can...

1:14:26
...because you have no idea
of what the stakes are over there.

1:14:29
Here's a country
surrounded by five Arab nations...

1:14:32
...ready to shove them
into the Mediterranean.

1:14:34
No guns, no tanks, no friends, nothing.
1:14:36
People fighting with bare hands
for a piece of desert...

1:14:39
...because it's the last place
on this whole earth...

1:14:41
...that they can go to and try to live...
- Then why did you come back?

1:14:48
Wouldn't they let you play captain?
1:14:53
You know me too damn well.
1:14:57
You don't know me at all.
1:14:59
You don't give any of the rest of us credit
for being human beings.

1:15:03
I saw Dachau, too. Remember?
1:15:05
And if anybody ever deserved a home
on the basis of sheer gallantry...

1:15:09
...it's those poor devils from those camps.
1:15:12
And you have friends too, Mickey...
1:15:14
...although it'll probably
upset you to find it out.

1:15:17
They'll ring every doorbell in Washington
from the White House down, if it'll help.

1:15:22
And I'll raise such a stink...
1:15:23
...they'll go in and out
of the state department with gas masks.

1:15:26
But what about you?
1:15:28
Are you too big to go back
and help your own people...

1:15:31
...unless they bow down
and kiss your West Point ring?

1:15:33
Get off my back.
1:15:35
What happened
to that insubordinate SOB...

1:15:38
...that jumped out of one of my planes
over Normandy?

1:15:41
He won the distinguished service medal?
1:15:44
Are you proud of that medal, and
ashamed you might win the star of David?

1:15:49
Stand up and be counted, Mickey.
1:15:52
And there's a lot of us
who'll stand up with you.

1:15:54
L'Chalm.
1:15:58
Maybe you ought
to stay off our side, Mike.
