:27:03
About as clear as mud, isn't it?
:27:05
That's what it's just about
as clear as.
:27:08
Listen, Captain. You know
Major Duluth, the Squadron Commander?
:27:13
- He's a fine man, sir.
- Was. Major Duluth is dead.
:27:18
I'm distraught to hear that.
:27:20
You may be distraught but he's dead.
Shot down over Perugia today.
:27:25
That'll teach him to go on missions
when he should be in the office.
:27:30
- I don't see...
- We need a new squadron commander.
:27:34
And you're the only major available
on our headquarters staff.
:27:38
No, Major is my name, not my rank.
:27:40
That's close enough for me, Major.
Consider yourself a major.
:27:44
I don't know anything
about being a commander.
:27:47
We all have
to make sacrifices, Major.
:27:50
Sir, I'm in Billeting and Laundry!
:27:52
I know that, sir, but we all
have to do our part, I guess.
:27:56
Well, I don't like my part.
:28:07
Sergeant, I'm going to take
the rest of the afternoon off,
:28:11
and lie down in my tent
and think about things.
:28:15
Sir, there's someone
waiting to see you.
:28:19
- Now?
- Yes, sir.
:28:22
- Who is it?
- Captain Tappman, Group Chaplain.
:28:26
What does he want?
:28:28
Something to do with
Captain Yossarian.
:28:34
Look, Sergeant...
:28:38
My job is tough enough
:28:40
without having to deal all the time
with people who want something.
:28:44
- Do I make myself clear?
- Yes, sir.
:28:46
I suppose you're wondering
about this.
:28:49
No, sir.
It's not my place to wonder.
:28:52
- Did you know people stare at me?
- No, sir.
:28:55
They're thinking,
"Who is that Major Major,
:28:58
that he gets to be commander
without ever having flown?"
