:36:00
Raymond? Answer me, my boy.
:36:18
- Colonel!
- Ben. May I come in for a minute?
:36:21
Oh, please do. Of course. Come on in.
:36:26
May I ask the Colonel:
:36:28
(a) is this an official visit?
And (b) may I mix you a drink?
:36:31
(a) Yes, it is, and (b) you certainly may.
:36:33
- Scotch all right?
- Fine.
:36:40
My God,
where'd ya get all the books?
:36:42
I... I got a guy picks 'em out for me
:36:45
at random.
:36:47
- Water all right?
- Fine.
:36:50
He's in, uh... San Francisco.
A little bookstore out there.
:36:54
And, uh... he ships 'em to me,
wherever I happen to be stationed.
:36:58
- Have you read them all?
- Yeah.
:37:01
They'd also make great insulation
against an enemy attack.
:37:05
But the truth of the matter is
that I'm just interested, you know,
:37:09
in principles of modern banking
and the history of piracy,
:37:14
the paintings of Orozco,
:37:17
modern French theatre,
:37:20
the jurisprudential factor
of the Mafia administration,
:37:24
diseases of horses
and the novels of Joyce Cary
:37:28
and ethnic choices of the Arabs.
:37:31
Things like that.
:37:40
- Ben.
- Sir.
:37:42
The army's got
a lot of things wrong with it, but
:37:45
it does take care of
its own people, which is why I'm here.
:37:49
As a public relations officer,
you're a disaster.
:37:52
I never wanted the job.
:37:54
You permitted the secretary to make
unfortunate remarks to that idiot, Iselin,
:37:58
which started him off on a rampage.
