SCHEISSKOPF: Seven-inch swing, four-inch gap.

Why is that so hard?

Then we look tight!

Then we look fierce!

Then we stand out from all the goddamn free-swinging arms

that seem to be the goddamn fashion these days!

You goddamn spastics think I'm gonna let you

prance around here like a Busby Berkeley chorus line,

then you've got another thing coming to you.

DANEEKA: All right, let's have a look at these nuts.

You're gonna need to scooch and lift.

Okay.

Ow!

Sorry, it's just a little dried blood.

[coughs]

Okay. [groans]

All right, let's have a look at these.

Now, John, it looks like

this piece of flak went...

right between your thighs.

It missed your left testicle, missed your right testicle,

and it split the soft tissue of your scrotum

right between your testicles.

And that is what we call spectacular luck.

So can I go home now?

Is it that kind of spectacular luck?

DANEEKA: You came so close.

Now, if you lose a testicle for your country,

of course you get to go home.

But you?

You only almost lost a testicle.

You see the difference?

The best I can do for an almost-lost testicle

is just to keep you here while it's healing.

Of course, while it's healing,

the number of missions you have to flying keeps rising,

which means the longer you're here,

the further away you get from going home.

But you already know that.

All right, nurse, I'll leave you to it.

Spectacular luck, huh?

Oh, I'm the luckiest guy in the world.

Who knew it was as simple as one testicle?

We probably could have arranged for that months ago.

I like the way you think.

MARION: What time do you ship out?

6:00 a.m.

Ugh, that's ghastly.

Oh, it is.

It's ghastly, all right.

Well, I'd tell you I'm gonna miss you, but I probably won't.

You're gonna miss me a lot more than I'm gonna miss you.

I doubt it.

Do you want to put money on it?

Sure.

$5. [laughing]

What? $5.

What are you, cheap?

100. I'm not putting $100.

You don't have $100. I won't need it.

Yes, you will. No.

[laughs] You're silly.

No, I'm not. Mm-hmm.

[both moan]

[both breathing heavily]

[moans]

I like the way your neck smells.

Mm.

I like the way your shoulders smell.

Better start saving your pennies.

Buongiorno, Mister Yo-Yo. We have a gift for you!

Hey, fellas. What's the rumpus?

LORENZO: Is from, uh, Mister Milo.

Oh, is he back? I need to talk to him.

Eh, no, no. Mister Milo in Togo.

When is he back?

Eh, Sabato. Saturday.

Well, can you get him on the radio?

I need to talk to him. He offered me a job.

I said no, but now I think I need to say yes.

Eh, no, no, he on a ship.

He send you this.

This for your testicolo.

Yes, because no want, eh... [hisses through teeth]

I'm told this is Cathcart's office now.

Yes, sir.

Where's Major Major gone? He's in there, too, sir.

They're in there together? Yes, sir.

Can I go in? That depends.

Depends on what?

Depends on who you're here to see.

Cathcart? Fine.

CATHCART: I told you, the deal's off, Yossarian.

YOSSARIAN: I know the deal's off. Hiya, Major.

Hi, Yossarian. How you been?

Pretty swell.

Well, then what is it that you want?

I want to go home. You owe me.

I just told you the deal is off.

Scheisskopf saw to that. You were there.

But I didn't make the deal with Scheisskopf.

I made it with you.

And he unmade it. My hands are tied.

I've had my balls blown off.

I want you to send me home.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

Yes, you can! I mean that I can't.

And I'd like to, believe me.

I'd like to see you gone from here as much as you would.

Then do it! I can't, son.

You mean to tell me that you don't have the authority

to send people home?

Oh, I have the authority to send people home.

I just can't send you home.

I am under strict instructions not to send you home

without his prior approval.

He actually said that? He did.

But I've had my balls blown off!

What more does it take? This is a medical emergency.

Well, if it's a medical emergency,

I suggest you go talk to Doc Daneeka.

Do I look like a ball doctor to you?

You understand? Yes, sir.

That's two doses every two hours.

BOTH: Okay. Doc, hey, I need your help.

You got to tell Scheisskopf

that I've had my balls blown off.

But you haven't had your balls blown off.

Doesn't matter.

He needs to think that they've been blown off.

You're asking me to lie to a guy

that we both know is trouble.

No, I'm not asking you to lie.

I'm asking you to use your imagination.

You know that if I stay here, Scheisskopf is gonna fuck me.

I've lost all my friends.

I've flown more missions than anybody on this base,

and every time I get close to reaching the quota,

they raise it on me to fuck me.

I can't do this anymore.

I get that you couldn't ground me for insanity.

I get that you couldn't ground me for liver problems

that never existed, but now I finally have

a legitimate, actual medical complaint.

And you promised to help me when it counted.

I'm not asking you to lie.

I'm asking you to be a doctor.

DANEEKA: Sir, Captain Yossarian suffered

a catastrophic testicular infarction.

A what?

A catastrophic testicular infarction.

What the hell is that?

Well, sir, it's a soft tissue trauma to the scrotal sack.

And?

And I believe Captain Yossarian should be sent home.

It's that bad?

He may never have children.

You're saying he's had his balls blown off.

Approximately, sir.

Hmm.

I don't know, Doc.

If I'd had my balls blown off,

I can't imagine I'd be standing there just like that.

And at attention, no less.

Well, he's heavily medicated right now, sir.

I want to see.

E-excuse me, sir?

I want to see.

I want to understand this...

"infarction."

Drop your pants, soldier.

I-I'm not sure that's such a good idea, sir.

He--he's very tender down there.

I want to see.

Drop your pants, soldier.

Take the bandage off.

[gasping]

[grunts]

I'm counting two testicles down here, Doc.

I want these stitches out, God damn it.

I want this nut sack back in the air flying missions

CHAPLAIN: None of us can say we really knew Christopher...

but we know the kind of boy he was--

a boy willing to put himself in the path of danger...

A boy barely out of school,

willing to leave his family and all that the held dear,

all that was safe,

all that was familiar...

To come to a place

where those things would seem like a dream...

For there was a bigger dream...

to liberate a world beset by darkness.

[indistinct chatter]

Christopher Snowden shared that dream...

[indistinct chatter]

With all of us.

When I came here, I knew this would be one of my duties.

This...

But nobody really dies here.

They just vanish, they...

They vanish into the sky.

So I do services,

not burials...

services.

But thankfully, not today.

We'll keep Christopher Snowden here.

We'll know where he is. We'll know where to find him.

We'll lament that the life he lived

did not turn out to be the life he should have lived.

He was 18.

He didn't get to know the love of a wife or children.

That they loved him, they longed for his return

just as he longs for them.

[clears throat]

Nevertheless, he was greatly loved

and will be...

greatly missed.

Let us pray for his parents, Raymond and Elizabeth.

SCHEISSKOPF: And during the long winter of 1777,

a Prussian nobleman by the name of Baron Von Steuben

aided George Washington greatly in teaching musket drill

to a small unit of 100 soldiers.

Those soldiers taught the remaining Continental Army

at Valley Forge.

And so drill formation has

a long and glorious history...

that is a living link to the days and the dreams

of our founding fathers.

And so here today with these shining blue skies

that God has seen fit to deliver...

we, too, are a part of that history.
