Some of us put up a better front
than others, but underneath...

:04:22
all of us were god-awful scared.
:04:25
I was scared
until just a few minutes ago,

:04:27
when our landing craft came up.
:04:29
But now it's gone.
:04:31
I feel fine, you know?
:04:33
It's the waiting, I guess.
:04:34
Once you get into action,
the adrenaline gets into your system.

:04:38
Tell us all about it, Mouse.
:04:40
Us kids wanna hear the facts of life
from a tried-and-true hero.

:04:44
Cut it out, Sarge.
:04:46
I was just saying how I feel.
:04:48
When are we gonna go in?
:04:49
We've stood around
that compartment since 0500.

:04:52
That's why you're getting
that big fat salary for, Red.

:04:55
Just hold your water.
:04:56
Hey, Colombo,
maybe the Japs took off...

:04:58
when they saw
that we're here in force.

:05:00
- Maybe, huh?
- Stop dreaming, Chubby.

:05:02
They are dug in
ten, twenty feet underground.

:05:06
Sure, they're just laying low
till we hit the beach.

:05:09
God, that bombardment last night
must've softened them up some.

:05:12
Hey, Colombo.
:05:13
How long was
that Bougainville operation?

:05:15
Too long, man.
:05:17
Pushing through those jungles got me.
:05:18
My boondockers rotted off.
:05:20
And this is worse,
with these lousy beaches.

:05:23
We're going in for a wet landing
about 200 yards off.

:05:26
Holy mackerel!
:05:30
For God's sakes, Colombo.
:05:32
Hey, what do you
want me to do, kiss it?

:05:42
Come on, come on. Clear the way.
Let old Gopher get his shot.

:05:50
Would there be wars
if clocks had never been invented?

:05:54
Cut the philosophy.
:05:55
You're not a lawyer anymore,
you're an officer.

:05:58
And this is it.
