Now, Pa, I know all about your war record
and I'm darn proud of it; have been for years.

I'm not cut out for it.

:50:10

I'm gonna tell you somethin' about
myself that you never heard before.

What do you mean?

:50:42
It's my war record. Yeah,
I'm darn proud of it.

You know what I really did

Oh, Pa!

Please, Roy!
But th... But th...

:51:50

Ah, I'll, uh...
