: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. . .
:55:01
. . .lsert's white ass out
of some rowboat. . .
:55:04
. . .you think you're better than me?
:55:06
Well, let's just see.
:55:15
What's your bet, Cookie?
:55:19
Put Snowhill back in.
:55:21
-What do you owe him?
-Nothing. You do.
:55:23
Oh, yeah? Fine.
:55:26
But if l win, you ship out tonight.
Deal?
:55:33
Deal.
:55:35
Show him, master chief.
:55:39
-Will you be my tender?
-Yeah.
