:05:04
When did you--
When did you get hit?

:05:07
Me?
:05:08
Well...
:05:10
Uh, January 20th.
Yes.

:05:12
Someplace off--
I don't even remember.

:05:15
Up in the DMZ.
:05:16
Walked into
a whole battalion of them.

:05:19
Got shot
in the foot.

:05:20
I got up
like I was...

:05:23
back in the woods again,
:05:24
like I was
John fucking Wayne,

:05:26
emptying a mag, screaming,
''Come on, Charlie, motherfucker!

:05:29
Come on out,
Charlie, motherfucker!''

:05:31
Rat-tat-tat-tat.
:05:33
I heard this crack
above my right ear,

:05:36
and I just
felt my body...

:05:38
drop out from under me.
:05:42
Well, I thought
I was dead for sure.

:05:45
Was the, uh...
:05:46
How was
the hospital?

:05:48
It sucked.
:05:49
I know.
:05:50
Really bad.
:05:51
I'll tell you
something, Ronnie...

:05:53
Sometimes
at night...

:05:55
I get these headaches,
you know?

:05:58
They're bad.
:05:59
And, uh...
:06:00
they just kind of
come over me,

:06:03
and these doctors
don't know shit, you know.

:06:06
They just come,
like I'm going crazy or something.

:06:11
I don't feel-- I don't feel
like me any more, you know?

:06:15
I feel like--
when they come,

:06:17
I feel like
somebody else.

:06:19
What do you do?
:06:20
Nothing.
Not a goddamned thing, you know?

:06:23
Well... mostly I do
a lot of drugs.

:06:29
Do anything
you can, you know?

:06:31
Y-You get through it
any way you can.

:06:35
When I was
in the hospital,

:06:37
I thought, ''Yeah.
Yeah, this makes sense.''

:06:41
What makes sense?
:06:43
'Cause I failed, Timmy.
:06:45
What are you
talking about?

:06:50
'Cause I...
:06:52
'Cause I killed someone--
some people. l--

:06:55
I made some terrible...
:06:58
mistakes.
:06:59
Ronnie, we all made mistakes.
I mean, you...
