You scared?
00:00:03.298 --> 00:00:05.028
Yes, I am.
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.003
- No heart, huh?
- I'm beginning to think so.
00:00:09.047 --> 00:00:11.268
At least I haven't any heart for this.
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:14.307
I hoped this business would be
over with before I got here.
00:00:14.475 --> 00:00:18.002
- What are you, a college kid?
- I just finished law school.
00:00:18.313 --> 00:00:21.806
A lawyer, huh? Can you think of anything
that can get us out of this hole?
00:00:21.983 --> 00:00:23.474
He wouldn't if he could.
00:00:23.651 --> 00:00:26.314
He's the type that cheers back home.
When they get here...
00:00:26.487 --> 00:00:28.581
- ...and things get tough, they fold.
- Shut up.
00:00:28.756 --> 00:00:31.123

- And I'm talking to you.
00:00:31.292 --> 00:00:33.998
I don't like heroes or bigmouths.
00:00:33.194 --> 00:00:35.999
We're all scared.
And why shouldn't we be?
00:00:35.263 --> 00:00:37.391
What do you think we use
in war, water pistols?
00:00:37.899 --> 00:00:39.697
You're all right, kid.
00:00:39.867 --> 00:00:42.564
I like guys who are honest
with themselves. Stay that way.
00:00:42.737 --> 00:00:46.105
Come on. Looks like it's quieted down.
00:00:55.383 --> 00:00:58.979
Mailman, boys! Come and get it!
Goodies from home!
00:00:59.487 --> 00:01:01.115

- Here, right here.
00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:03.417

Bartlett.
00:01:10.164 --> 00:01:11.792
Right, buddy.
00:01:17.672 --> 00:01:21.006
Here's mine. Here you are, big and
good-looking. Try your luck on those.
00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:22.404
- Thanks.
- That's for you.
00:01:22.577 --> 00:01:24.999
Yeah, that's all I've been getting.
00:01:24.645 --> 00:01:27.006
Anything good, I'll split it with you.
00:01:30.551 --> 00:01:32.993
Oh, now, look at that.
00:01:32.253 --> 00:01:35.621
Thousands of dames writing us letters
that are supposed to pep us up.
00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:37.759
Get a load of that kisser.
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:42.999
Hey, somebody must've sent him
some dough.
00:01:44.565 --> 00:01:46.158
Hey, now, that's more like it.
00:01:46.334 --> 00:01:48.001
- Very pretty.
- Yeah.
00:01:48.202 --> 00:01:53.049
A million guys in the Army, a babe
like her has gotta pick out a mug like him.
00:01:53.001 --> 00:01:56.956
- Who she ain't met.
- When you write, ask if she has a friend.
00:01:56.001 --> 00:01:58.084
Put in, "Having a wonderful time.
Wish we was in Mineola."
00:01:59.005 --> 00:02:00.675
What do you mean, "we"?
00:02:03.851 --> 00:02:07.447
Bugle too vulgar for you guys?
Maybe you need a harp to call you out.
00:02:07.622 --> 00:02:09.001
Come on! Move out!
00:02:10.999 --> 00:02:12.999
What's the matter? You hard of hearing?
00:02:13.161 --> 00:02:15.001
I'm coming, I'm coming.
Keep your shirt on.
00:02:15.063 --> 00:02:18.999
When you get an order in the Army,
buddy, you jump.
00:02:18.999 --> 00:02:21.999
Like you did when you worked for my dad,
and he caught you stealing nickels?
