1:16:00
and we've had a hell of a time
getting water up here.
1:16:04
For that I'm sorry. I apologise to you all.
1:16:08
But ifwe can reduce this bunker tomorrow,
I think we can take this ridge.
1:16:15
So I'm asking for volunteers.
1:16:17
Go back up there and knock it out.
1:16:19
Sir?
1:16:22
I'll be glad to go back up
1:16:24
- and lead the way back for a party.
- Right.
1:16:26
- I'll go, sir.
- You.
1:16:28
All right.
1:16:30
- I'd like to lead the party, Colonel.
- All right, John. I was hoping you'd say that.
1:16:35
- You'll be in command.
- I'll go, sir.
1:16:37
- Sir?
- You.
1:16:39
All right, men, that's enough.
Seven is plenty. Gather up.
1:16:46
I don't know ifyou realise the importance
of this operation, Staros.
1:16:52
Once our position is secured,
we can move the bombers in.
1:16:55
That means air power
for 1,000 miles in every direction.
1:17:00
Guadalcanal may be
the turning point in the war.
1:17:04
- It'll cost lives. Is that what's troubling you?
- No, sir.
1:17:11
I explained to you
the importance ofthis objective.
1:17:14
How many men do you think it's worth?
How many lives?
1:17:17
I can't say, sir.
1:17:25
Are you prepared to sacrifice the lives
of any ofyour men in this campaign?
1:17:32
How many? One? Two?
1:17:35
Twenty?
1:17:38
Lives will be lost in your company, Captain.
1:17:42
And ifyou don't have the stomach for it,
now is the time to let me know.
1:17:48
No, sir. You're right...
about everything you said.
1:17:51
Fine, fine.
1:17:53
That's all, Captain.
1:17:57
One more thing, Staros.
