[Knock on door]
2:41:20
You better come take a look.
2:41:28
BRUCE: We got to liven up
that whole area.
2:41:31
And make sure the banner is centered.
2:41:37
CO: What's the meaning of this?
2:41:39
BRUCE: Put the piano on the platform.
It's just a little party, Colonel.

I did not order this. I did not order this.
2:41:46
BRUCE: Leave this to me.
The Memphis Belle's my job.
2:41:49
CO: I have to approve everything on
this base. I didn't approve a homecoming.

What's the harm in a party for these guys?

2:42:38
- You're cracking up.
- Read it!
2:42:47
BRUCE: "Dear Col. Harriman:
Thank you for the letter about my son.
2:42:51
"He must have made a big impression...
2:42:53
"...because you described him exactly.
2:42:56
"I wish you could have told me...
2:42:59
"...how Tommy died, but I guess
we must be careful about security.
