1:02:00
This is our town now.
1:02:02
You're a war hero,
and you can benefit.

1:02:05
You should benefit,
Ronnie.

1:02:07
You mean, like partners?
1:02:08
We open a place
together?

1:02:10
You got to walk
before you run.

1:02:12
I could start you out
as a cashier.

1:02:15
Then you could
learn the business,

1:02:18
work your way up
to be manager,

1:02:20
just like your dad.
1:02:22
I get 1,700 a month
from the government.

1:02:24
I'll take my time.
1:02:26
That's charity money.
This isn't.

1:02:28
Charity?
1:02:29
Here's your cola.
1:02:30
You got to put
the war behind you.

1:02:33
Forget about
this chair you're in.

1:02:35
Sometimes,
you know, Stevie,

1:02:36
I think people know
1:02:37
you're back
from Vietnam,

1:02:39
and their face changes,
the eyes...

1:02:41
the voice, the way
they look at you.

1:02:44
I know, but people here,
1:02:46
they don't give a shit
about the war.

1:02:48
It's just a million miles away.
It's all bullshit.

1:02:51
The government sold us
a bill of goods.

1:02:54
We got the shit
kicked out of us.

1:02:57
What do you mean ''we''?
You were in college.

1:03:01
It was you who bought
that communist bullshit.

1:03:04
Yeah. They were going
to take over the world.

1:03:07
Do you remember that?
1:03:09
Finnelli, you, Walsh.
1:03:10
The whole town
was devastated.

1:03:12
For what?
1:03:14
For lies?
1:03:15
For bullshit lies?
1:03:23
They burn the flag.
1:03:25
They demonstrate
against us

1:03:26
on the cover
of the paper today.

1:03:29
They have no respect.
1:03:30
They have no idea
1:03:31
what's going on
over there

1:03:33
and the men that are
sacrificing their lives.

1:03:36
Nobody here
seems to care.

1:03:37
It's a bunch
of goddamned shit.

1:03:40
Don't take the Lord's name in vain
in front of the children.

1:03:43
I agree with
everything you say.

1:03:46
I served my country.
1:03:47
They just want
to take from it.

1:03:50
Love it or leave it.
1:03:51
The other side's angry
1:03:53
because
we're not winning.

1:03:54
How can we win?
1:03:56
Tommy,
what's the matter?

1:03:57
Nothing.
1:03:58
Anybody listening here?
Tommy?
