The shoes have little steel plates
on the insoles.

:11:06
Yes, that's right.
:11:08
That's so when you bring your feet
together, it makes a nice loud crack.

:11:14
Welcome to show business.
:11:16
It's a real honour to meet you,
sergeant.

:11:19
Is that right? Why?
:11:21
For one thing, we're the only
two men here who want out.

:11:25
- Want out? To where?
- Front line in Vietnam, sir, sergeant.

:11:31
There is no front line in Vietnam.
:11:35
It's not like other wars.
Hell, it's not even a war.

:11:38
Nothing to win. No way to win it.
:11:42
If that's how you feel,
why are you going back?

:11:46
I'm not. There's nothing for me
over there.

:11:50
I know this unit in Nam.
They print up little cards.

:11:54
They say, "Killing is our business
and business is good".

:11:59
Here, burying is our business.
Our business is better.

:12:05
Don't you be in such a hurry
to get yourself starched. Carry on.

:12:16
You knew my father, didn't you?
Shelby Willow?

:12:21
Yeah.
:12:23
Korea.
:12:25
We ran the gauntlet
to the Chongchon River.

:12:30
We were friends.
He still raising hell?

:12:33
He had two heart attacks. He's
fine now. Retired, back in Kentucky.

:12:38
He recalls you very fondly.
Asked to be remembered.

:12:42
He doesn't see the war like you.
He has a conventional infantry view.

:12:47
- I guess he's a more conventional guy.
- Yeah, I see.

:12:52
Well, I got funeral training
in 10 minutes.

:12:56
Son, if you think of it,
tell your daddy hello for me.
