On her way home
she stopped at the market

:48:05
for fresh fish for dinner.
:48:09
And now she's flipping through
the pages of magazines

:48:16
looking at photographs of
the royal family and film stars,

:48:22
listening to Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
:48:28
I just got her started on Bach.

Have you had a lot of women, Thomas?
:48:42
You start out by being promiscuous,
:48:46
and end up like your grandfather -
:48:49
faithful to one woman.
:48:53
I know I'm not essential to Phuong.
:48:58
But believe me when I tell you that
:49:02
if I were to lose her,
:49:06
for me...
:49:10
it would be the beginning of death.
:49:22
Somebody's had it.
:49:25
There are 30 or 40 of these towers
between here and Saigon.

:49:29
They only hit one or two a night
so our odds aren't too bad.

:49:36
So what do you think they'd do
if the communists attacked?

:49:40
These two? They'd fire a shot and run.
:49:43
Why should they die for us? Or the French.
:49:48
What's that?
I thought I saw something move.

:49:58
Christ, they're here!
