:51:00
Told him the Army wants me
to see a psychiatrist.
:51:02
-And that was it, huh?
-I wanted to thank you personally.
:51:06
Doctor sent me on leave.
:51:08
He'll contact the Red Cross,
get me out-processed. . .
:51:11
. . .so I don't have to come back.
:51:13
Good, Miter. Glad to hear
you're nuts, man.
:51:20
-Best of luck, Miter.
-Thanks, Paxton.
:51:22
-Miter.
-Take care, Johnson.
:51:29
Thanks again, Bozz.
:51:34
-So long.
BOZZ: Go be a butcher, Miter!
:51:37
-Try not to get shot, hear?
-Don't let your meat loaf, man.
:51:48
(PAXTON CHUCKLES)
:51:49
Yeah, fuck you.
:52:00
-Private Bozz, reporting as ordered.
-At ease.
:52:04
So you're the new platoon
guide for 2nd Platoon?
:52:07
Yes, sir.
:52:08
The fucking world is full
of fucking surprises.
:52:11
It wasn't your plan to wear
sergeant's stripes. . .
:52:14
. . .a week away from
Tigerland in a war.
:52:17
I don't know, sir. The idea
crossed my mind now and again.
:52:20
I just didn't think it would
all be so pitiful sad.
:52:29
Been looking over your 201 .
:52:31
You're a Texas boy.
:52:34
Couple run-ins with the law.
A year in state college.
:52:37
Dropout, worked construction.
:52:39
-Get drafted?
-Yes, sir.
:52:41
-Why didn't you stay in school?
-Maybe I needed some trouble, sir.
:52:46
Well, you got it.
:52:49
You also got responsibility.
You got a platoon to run.
:52:53
The company's like the bad end of a
shit storm. Your platoon's the worst.
:52:57
-Thank you, sir.
-That's not a compliment, smart-ass.
