:53:06
Hell, l don't know who classes up
the joint more:
:53:09
The fetching young lady
in the fur stole or Cookie here.
:53:13
So, what did you two kids come here
to do anyway? Dance?
:53:17
Why not take a turn?
lt's a free country. Mostly.
:53:21
You made a big mistake walking
in here.
:53:25
-lt's my fault.
-lt's all your fault.
:53:27
Spoiled little girl gets her kicks
dragging stray men in here.
:53:31
Thinks we're a bunch of rednecks
she can shake up for fun.
:53:36
Hey, Donny. . .
:53:37
. . .be a dear lad and bring the lady
a fresh soldier.
:53:42
Think you deserve to be here?
:53:44
Fraternizing among Navy men?
:53:47
Think you're as good as them?
:53:50
And me? You better than me?
:53:51
Damn right l am.
:54:00
See this pipe?
:54:02
General MacArthur himself
smoked this pipe.
:54:06
l served with him at Leyte Gulf.
:54:08
Biggest naval battle in history.
:54:11
Kamikaze ripped into an escort
carrier, the Saint Lo.
:54:14
Went down on a shallow reef, trapped
me and six boys in the fire room.
:54:19
-Only one way out.
-Flood the compartment, swim up.
:54:22
Five decks, Cookie.
Five fucking decks.
:54:26
Locked bulkheads.
Dead bodies everywhere.
:54:29
You got to have your balls screwed
on tight for that swim.
:54:33
We still had intercom. Old MacArthur
came over that squawk box:
:54:36
''Sunday, you son of a bitch, l bet you
can't hold your breath four minutes. . .
:54:41
. . .and swim out of there. ''
Know what l said?
:54:45
''No, Mac, l can't. . .
:54:47
. . .but l'll bet you your cob pipe
l can hold it for five. . .
:54:50
. . .because that's what it'll take. ''
:54:53
-This ain't worth it.
-Get your hands off me.
:54:55
Six men are breathing today
because l let them out of that room.
:54:59
Now because you pulled. . .
