:54:01
This is a fucking slum.
:54:02
We take that leg,
:54:03
you're out
in two weeks.

:54:05
I want my leg.
:54:07
Why?
You can't feel it.

:54:09
It's my leg.
I want my leg.

:54:12
Can't you
understand that?

:54:13
I want to be treated
like a human being.

:54:16
I fought
for my country.

:54:18
I'm a Vietnam veteran!
:54:19
I fought
for my country!

:54:21
Shut the fuck up!
:54:23
I should
be treated decent!

:54:26
Vietnam don't mean
nothing to me, man,

:54:28
or any of these other people.
You got it?

:54:32
You can take
your Vietnam

:54:34
and shove it up your ass,
you hear?

:54:37
No! I don't
need this!

:54:39
Hey, you fuck!
:54:41
Hey, goddamn you!
:54:43
Goddamn it.
:54:45
I am a fucking
Vietnam veteran!

:54:49
This isn't--
:54:50
Marvin!
:54:51
Marvin, now!
:54:52
Marvin!
:54:53
What's up?
What's up?

:54:54
Marvin, look!
:54:55
Oh, fuck!
:54:56
It's off.
:54:57
It ain't
going to work.

:54:59
Start!
:54:59
Washington,
get the doctor.

:55:01
Wait a minute.
:55:02
OK. Yeah.
All right. I will.

:55:05
How you doing, Eddie?
:55:06
Let's see what's
wrong with this.

:55:08
They tell me if we don't
get this pump working,

:55:11
they'll cut my leg off.
I want my leg.

:55:14
Do we have another pump?
:55:16
It's the only one, Eddie.
:55:18
Ron. It's Ron Kovic.
:55:19
Sorry, man. Ron.
:55:21
You-- You are a doctor?
:55:23
It's the Vietnam war.
Cutbacks.

:55:25
The government's not giving us
the money we need

:55:28
to take care
of you guys.

:55:30
We're doing our best.
It's really too bad.

:55:33
It's not fair.
:55:34
I've tried hard
to keep this leg.

:55:37
I've been strapped in
this bed for four months

:55:39
so I could
keep this leg.

:55:42
Maybe I can rig up
a substitute.

:55:44
I'll look in the basement
and see what we got.

:55:48
You're coming back?
:55:50
Soon.
:55:51
Let go, Ron.
Let go.

:55:55
We really did try
to help Mr Kovic.
