:58:05
In view of your recent actions,
Harold,
:58:07
you have left me with no recourse
:58:09
but to listen to
your uncle's proposed solution.
:58:12
Consequently, I have instructed him
to induct you into the service,
:58:17
and for your own good,
:58:19
to take up active duty
with the United States army.
:58:24
And I hope they have more luck
with you than I.
:58:30
Maude, they're gonna draft me.
:58:33
Well, don't go.
:58:35
They'll put me in jail.
:58:37
Well, historically,
you'll be in very good company.
:58:45
Maude, can you help me?
:58:47
With your skill and my experience, I
think we can come up with something.
:58:54
Look on me
as a father in this matter.
:58:56
I know you have no desire
to join the army
:58:59
but once you're in, you'll love it.
It's a great life.
:59:03
Look at me - chauffeur, respect,
money in the bank.
:59:08
It has its drawbacks
like anything else, I suppose,
:59:12
but the army takes care of you
and you've got a buddy for life.
:59:19
Good idea coming out here, Harold.
It's a lovely spot.
:59:23
- Thank you, Uncle.
- Call me sir.
:59:25
That's the first thing you learn.
An officer deserves your respect.
:59:30
Yes, sir.
:59:32
Let's examine the facts on it.
:59:36
I say this country has been too harsh
on its outright condemnation of war.
:59:40
You can point to the many
material advantages brought about
:59:44
by a crisis and conflict policy.
:59:46
Hell, World War II gave us
the ballpoint pen.
:59:50
In wartime,
the national suicide rate drops.
:59:53
Is that a fact? Now, why in hell
did we give up on the Germans?
:59:57
Since the damn politicians
chalked them up on our side,
