:38:00
Listen to me, please.
:38:02
For months, I've been driven
out of my mind by a recurring dream.
:38:05
The medical officer...
:38:07
What the hell does the Medical Corps
know about intelligence work?
:38:11
I tell you, there's something phoney
about me, about Raymond Shaw,
:38:15
about the whole Medal of Honor business.
:38:18
For instance, when the psychiatrist asked
me how I felt about Raymond Shaw
:38:22
and how the whole patrol felt about him,
did you hear what I said? Really hear?
:38:27
I said Raymond Shaw
is the kindest, warmest, bravest,
:38:30
most wonderful human being
I've ever known.
:38:33
And even now I feel that way, and yet,
somewhere in the back of my mind,
:38:37
something tells me it's not true.
It's just not true.
:38:42
It isn't as if Raymond's hard to like.
He's impossible to like!
:38:47
In fact, he's probably
one of the most repulsive human beings
:38:50
I've ever known in my whole...
all of my life.
:38:53
What I came to tell you is Public Relations
has bounced you back to me.
:38:57
And in your present state,
there's no possible way I can use you.
:39:02
As of this moment,
I'm placing you on sick leave.
:39:05
Go away, Ben.
:39:06
Find yourself a girl. Lie in the sun.
:39:13
I absolutely refuse.
:39:19
You don't seem to understand.
:39:23
What I've just told you
is not a suggestion, Major. It is an order.
:39:34
Yes, sir.
:39:38
Good night, Ben.
