Do you think about your childhood often?

I think about mine

when the going gets rough.

I think about my childhood

at the strangest times.

Do you, think about your childhood?

Do you?

We go now to the white house

and the president of the United States.

Good evening.

I have asked for this radio and television time

tonight for the purpose of announcing

that we today have concluded an agreement

to end the war and bring peace with honor

in Vietnam and in southeast Asia.

The following statement is being

issued at this moment in Washington and Hanoi.

At 12:30 Paris time today, January 23, 1973,

the agreement on ending the war

and restoring peace in Vietnam

was initialed by Dr. Henry kissinger

on behalf of the United States

and special advisor le duc tho on behalf

of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

The agreement will be formally signed by the

parties participating in the Paris conference

on Vietnam on January 27, 1973

at the international conference center in Paris.

You're collecting me?

That's four times!

Add ten dollars to your salary!

Hey! 1938, Cincinnati reds.

Back to back no-hitters in '38.

Pitches a second no-hitter.

First night game, there's a laundry

behind left field-

what's the matter with him?

Okay, your turn.

No, I don't want to answer.

Then we have a right-handed pitcher

named murry dickson, right?

Second baseman.

Right, okay, shortstop?

Slats Marty Marion.

Right. And third baseman,

I mentioned him before.

Whitey kurowski - had a bad left elbow.

Right.

Do you mind?

No.

What do you got in the bag?

What you got in the bag?

A surprise.

1947. We're at yankee stadium.

The kind of woman I could never get my hands on,

you know what I mean?

You know why that is?

Big broadcaster now...

Bald-headed man.

Joe garagiola!

At first base we have Stan musial.

On and off, not...

And in left field we have Stan musial.

Man with a good arm.

Are you rich?

Did she say yes, she was rich?

She's rich?

What are you doing later?

You got a rich friend

are those real diamonds?

Are they?

Tell me the truth.

Those remind me of when I was a kid.

In right field we have Enos who?

Slaughter!

I gotta check out something.

Centerfield there's a man named al gionfriddo.

No, in left field is al gionfriddo!

He's in centerfield 'cause he made the-

he made the catch against the 402.

Do you know anything about baseball?

You got the fur, too.

What kind of fur is it

foxy lady.

Sweetie?

Bye, sweetie.

Who hit the ball gionfriddo caught?

Joe DiMaggio, it's the first time

we ever saw him show any emotion.

Between first and second base

he's such a gentleman, all he did was

kick his right foot - boom - that was it.

That was the whole thing.

Go.

Pretty?

What?

The girl, she's pretty.

That's a semi yoga position that she's in.

One leg is crossed on top of the other, it's a more

relaxed position for long term meditation.

She's not asleep now,

she's actually meditating.

She's meditating?

Sure, that's an ideal position for meditating.

It reduces tension on the body and there's

a relaxation and it's very good for

suppleness of the body and so forth.

She can stay in that position indefinitely

perfectly comfortable.

How far you going?

New York.

Is that where you're from?

Yeah.

Would you like some?

No.

I don't like cottage cheese.

Me either.

You don't either?

What are you eating it for?

What? You don't know.

It's good for me.

I tried to eat a chicken last night.

Couldn't do it.

Couldn't do what?

Eat the chicken.

I just kept thinking what it was, you know?

Real live chicken and then

it's sitting in front of you.

Excuse me.

I couldn't help overhearing, but...

The chicken is dead.

I'm serious.

If you start eating just vegetables

you're not gonna get any protein.

I'm not a vegetarian

I just feel sorry for the chicken.

Well, regardless,

you seem like a vegetarian because-

Jack.

Gene.

Nice meeting you.

See, if you don't eat real meat then you're

gonna get a lot of trouble later on.

I saw an educational film over in 'nam

about chickens and if you eat the skin

it's pretty bad for you.

I happen to like the skin.

It's bad for you, it's doesn't digest.

It's true.

But it's the best meat for you

if you don't eat the skin.

So you skin the chicken and eat it.

It's not a matter of eating the skin.

If they give you a plate of it you should eat it.

I happen to like the skin because

the skin is the part of the chicken

that's closest to the dirt.

That's sickening.

And the dirt is part of the land.

And that's the natural kind of thing to eat.

I like to eat natural things.

Because...

What?

It's close to the earth.

When you get the inside of the chicken,

the inside of the chicken...

It doesn't get exposure to the reality of

the land and that's what I sell, I sell land.

I love land, I believe in land.

That's why I sell it and I eat it.

I have to go, I'm...

Soldier, do you mind if I

sit here for a minute?

Luis.

Are you on leave?

No, I'm on duty.

On duty? Where at?

I'm escorting a body cross country.

From where?

'Nam.

Come in.

Hi, you rang, ma'am?

Yes, come in, steward.

Sit down.

What can I do for you?

What is there to do after dinner

and stuff like that?

You mean outside of the club car?

Yeah, or whatever.

Do you have a cigarette?

I'm not supposed to smoke, but...

Thank you.

Now tell me the truth.

Exactly what were you looking for?

Well, I was looking for someone to,

to talk to.

To spend some time with.

Yeah.

When I was in the car before I saw a soldier.

Emil? You play both sides,

is that how you never lose?

I don't think you could understand

the nature of what I'm doing.

You can read about the psychology of chess

but let me play my game.

I just want to know how you ever lose, Emil?

I'm analyzing study positions.

Hi Jack.

Hi.

Take care of your business?

Tcb.

I saw a couple of great looking girls

boarding the train.

I love girls.

So do I.

What are we gonna do about it?

Wait for them.

Wait for them?

Great strategy.

Hi gene.

Emil, how you doing?

I've gotta really leave, okay?

Just gotta take care of a thing.

Which side are you playing?

It's pointless to explain it.

If you want to learn about the psychology

of chess I suggest you read this book.

I've gotta get this position,

I've gotta figure it out.

You're gonna lose this time.

Jack, we're in-

Mark...

Good news.

Don't ever come into my room without knocking.

The two girls are at the bar.

I'll keep mum because loose lips sink ships.

What's the mystery, Jack?

There's no mystery.

I got a friend back there in a coffin.

I'm escorting him back home.

Back where?

Back home.

I mean where is your friend?

He's in the baggage car.

We used to sit in the foxhole at night,

we used to get high from thai weed

and watch the tracer bullets flash over us.

I saw him do the most incredible things.

This man was a congressional

medal of honor winner.

But the way he bought it...

A tracer bullet went right into the foxhole.

It was like a flare coming out of him.

He was running around crazed.

That's the way he bought it

and I'm taking him home.

He's gonna have a band, he's gonna have a parade-

why don't we go into the bar

and see the beautiful girls?

Absolutely.

Think about it.

I want to change my clothes first.

I'll meet you at the bar.

Okay.

Loose brains crash trains.

Hurry up.

Introductions...

Cleo

Stephanie... This is Jack.

Hi.

They have a meatless meal, that's nice.

Anything good on the menu?

The sole has been recommended

by the man in the red jacket.

Do you see anything that you like?

What about this tornados mexicana?

It's toronado.

What are you, 5'8"?

5'10".

That's a lot of little red riding hood.

You're weird.

You're blushing.

Don't blow it, steffy.

Stephanie.

I'm sorry. Stephanie.

Are you gonna kiss a fool, Stephanie?

Excuse me for a second.

He's weird.

No, he's not.

He doesn't seem like he's connected.

Is he just shy?

A shy guy, yeah.

Can I get you something?

Yeah, a scotch on the rocks.

Coming right up.

You look like you're doing okay.

You picked up on those two pretty girls.

It's more like one of us did.

I see, no action?

It's not exactly that.

If you don't feel like dealing with these people

you can come deal with me anytime.

Deal with you?

Whatever you need, you know. I got it.

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

I'll be right back.

Do you have some olives?

Yes, ma'am. Help yourself.

Thank you.

Do you want an olive?

No, I don't want an olive.

Want some scotch?

No, thanks.

Do you travel often on trains?

Well... Sometimes.

You're sort of nervous.

Nervous?

You know, like, you're scared of-

I'm scared of flying in planes

so I take trains always

so I thought maybe you were scared of trains.

Nah.

I'm not that scared anymore, you know?

No?

No. I'm very seldom afraid.

So what do you do?

I'm on easter holiday from college.

I'm going up to the cape with my friend.

Her parents have a house there.

You know what you look like to me?

You look like a poster I saw once

in a wheat field with a hammer and a sickle.

I was overseas and I went to east Berlin,

I saw this girl with this hammer

and sickle standing in a wheat field.

There's a guy with her

but I haven't seen him yet on the train.

May I.. May I say something?

I don't know you

but I'd like to tell you something.

I think you're beautiful.

I know that's very corny these days

to think somebody's beautiful, but you are.

God, I want to hold you and talk to you

and feel you, but I don't know how.

I'm really shy and this is hard for me.

I think I'd like to see you in my room.

Do you know what I mean?

Okay, so I suggest that you just follow me.

Look at me.

I don't have much time, look at me.

Look at me, look at me.

Look at me, please.

You make me nervous.

Meet me in my room.

You know which room I'm in, don't you?

No, I don't.

Yes, you do. Look at me.

Come on, I don't have all this time.

You know which room I'm in, don't you?

No.

I think your tornado just hit the table.

Just once. Just... once.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Hey, man, it's cool.

Come in.

I just went to the wrong compartment.

Can I come in?

Please.

Sit down.

Thanks.

Are you playing your music?

Can I hear it?

I didn't know if you'd come or not.

What's it like to have men tell you

that you're beautiful?

It must lose its meaning.

Depends what man.

Do you know what an honor it is to me

that you came here? You really don't.

You'll never really know.

It makes me feel so great.

I mean, see?

That doesn't... You know?

Let's just sit for a while.

I haven't seen anything like you since I was 16.

I'm not even sure that I saw it then.

I'd always fantasize about getting on a train

and some man saying these really nice things.

Can I show you how I want to be kissed?

How long were you away?

A long time.

'Morning.

'Morning.

I want to apologize for what happened last night.

I...

Well... hi.

Sleep well?

No?

I wake up every once in a while.

I like the movement, though.

I like the movement.

It rocks you to sleep.

Like when you're a baby.

Yeah...

Like a baby.

You are a baby. A sweet baby.

See you in a while.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

I'm doing my exercises.

You're doing your exercises?

Yup.

Listen, could I talk to you for a second?

About what?

Excuse me.

Is this your compartment here?

Yeah.

May I?

I saw you in the club car and

I wanted to ask you some questions.

I just got back from Vietnam and I'd like to

ask you - well, do you have any shampoo?

Shampoo?

Yeah. Is that crazy enough for you?

Do you have any shampoo?

Every time I wear these boots I have good luck.

They're my magic boots.

What are you gonna wear?

I don't know, what do you suggest?

I have, let's see, the...

The red and polka dot thing.

This thing?

Yeah.

I'm saving that for a big event.

Why save it?

It might be a big event, who knows?

Very funny.

Well, who knows what we'll find

in the dining car.

Think he'll be in the dining car?

That's why I like trains, you know?

Why?

You just never know what's going to happen.

I take trains all the time.

Just travel and see places.

I never know what's going to happen.

No responsibility, it's just an easy life.

There's no pasts, no recriminations.

There's no future, there's just now.

That's what I like. Just now.

How about you, soldier?

Boy.

I...

I think you're wonderful.

You do?

Did you guys get to know each other?

Did you, do it?

Did we do what?

You know what!

Did you do it with Jack last night?

I am getting ready.

Come on, I'm your best friend.

You're not even telling me what's going on,

if you're doing it.

You're getting all weird and embarrassed

and I don't understand it.

I don't understand a lot of it.

Do you know how long it's been since

I've seen a woman wear a garter belt?

I hate pantyhose.

My mother... My mother...

I used to lay on the kitchen floor

doing my homework, pretending to,

make her step over me

so I could look up her dress.

I loved that,

where the garter comes to the stocking.

You see the flesh there and...

I think if Mark's in the dining room

that I'll spend the day with him.

I mean, if he wants me to, I'm not forcing him.

He's sort of interesting.

How about you?

You going to spend the day with Jack?

What's with you

what's gotten into you?

God, you're really being a pisser.

Just tell me what's going on, did you do it?

Listen, baked potato, I don't-I have no desire

to get involved with your conversations

at this late hour in the morning.

I think I'll go for a walk.

Gee, gene, I'm not sure I understand

exactly what you're getting at.

You want to sell me something, is that it?

I want to give you something.

Okay.

In order for me to give you something I have to

know about you, I have to know what you want.

You're getting the better out of the bargain

because it's better to give than to receive.

You know, pal, I have trouble understanding

so many things.

Put your cards on the table.

If you got a deal tell me what it is

and maybe we can make a deal.

I do have something that might be

interesting to you.

It's right here. A place in new Mexico.

It's a very beautiful place,

you can walk right into it.

I haven't got a passport.

To go to new Mexico?

I'm very serious about this.

I am too. I don't have a passport.

Okay, this is the way of cups,

the way of emotions.

You think you're in love, it's all wonderful.

Husband, wife, couple of kids

having a great ol' time.

And that's what love is.

Then you see that breaks down

and you can't believe in that anymore

so you go to riches, baubles and rubies

and you think that's where love is, right?

But really you're all dark inside,

you're asleep, and finally you understand

that's not going to do it for you either.

So where do you go from there?

You go back up into the mountains,

you're a little girl, you know, a few farm houses.

I'm the little girl?

You're the little girl and you

find yourself on the land.

Little rustic setting to act like

children together and it's the perfect

kind of counter-cultural love story.

You think this is it

and you've got it all together

but that falls apart after a few years.

Where do you go from there?

Alone.

You find out it doesn't work, does it?

You're back asleep, you're by the river,

it's flowing past, you can't even look.

I've got to speak to you, please come with me.

What's the matter?

Please come with me.

How long is this going to take still?

You keep circling, it's the ouroboros,

it's a snake that eats its own tail.

Please, please!

Alright...

That's a biggie.

See that?

You got all the fluids going on inside of you.

It's not really fluids, it's energy.

You gotta put that energy right in the perineum.

You know what the perineum is?

The perineum is right between

the anus and the vagina.

Now if you can get that energy into your

perineum, see, and then you bring it up your back

into your head, then drop it through your head

back down to your solar plexus, then let it drop

back down to the perineum, you'd never

have to make love again 'cause you could just

circulate your energy right around.

You'll never have to make love again.

Well, aren't you going to say anything?

I'm going to say something.

Aren't you going to say something to me?

You're the one who brought me here.

No, no, you brought me here.

You're not kidding me, you know.

About what?

Anything.

What's the matter with you?

The way you deal with people besides me?

Is that funny?

Is that funny to you?

It's not funny to me.

Sergeant, can I see you a minute?

You stay here.

Yes, sir.

Were you over there?

I was over there.

Well, it's about done now, I guess.

It's all finished up, everybody's home.

I wanted to be there.

I wanted to be there badly.

So I could be the-

I'm on official duty here.

The guy in the coffin,

they tell me he's a war hero.

I get five days off over there.

Get him to the east coast

and then I get five days off.

It's tough over there, mister.

Pretty tough over there?

Know what I mean?

You wouldn't want to have been there.

You know, you're right.

A man like you who smells the land,

who feels the land,

really believes that the land is what it is,

you'll be getting out of the service,

you'll want to retire,

you want to find a piece of land.

Believe me, I'm not selling you,

I'm not telling you to have a piece of land.

Not at all.

I'm just saying I know you're thinking about it.

I know you're thinking about it.

That doesn't mean I'm looking to do

anything with you but tell you

what I believe more than anything else, man.

And that's the land because that's the soil,

that's the earth, that's the green beans

popping out - that's what it is.

And without that you got nothing.

You'll love the cape.

It's so beautiful there.

We can go riding around the whole cape.

They've made bicycle paths.

Get some exercise finally.

Yeah, my brother has a bike he's left there

so there will be two of them.

And my cousin will be there.

You'll like him.

I was freezing.

I couldn't find the switch

and I was shaking all night long.

I'm getting congested,

my head hurts, my insides are in pain.

You're suggesting you can get a cold from the cold?

How can you believe a superstition like that?

There are areas in the antarctic where the

explorers go where there are no cold viruses

and people don't get colds there.

You don't get a cold from the cold.

I get hot from heat.

The word "cold" is a misnomer to begin with.

The correct word is coryza. C-o-r-y-z-a.

It's not a cold at all.

You don't get colds from cold.

You know what? I got coryza.

I was coryzing all night long.

And the coryzing's gonna give me a cold.

Not because of the cold weather.

Look at the junk food you ate.

If you ate protein and vitamins,

cut your calories in half,

rat studies show you'll live 35% longer.

What have I got to do with rats?

It's difficult to extrapolate from

rat studies but as far as you're concerned

there's a definite relationship.

You drink, you smoke, you harm me

by raising the carbon monoxide level.

Let me ask you one question.

I don't mind what you do to yourself.

Will you give me one question?

Are you traveling alone on this train?

Maybe later we'll have a drink together

and get coryzma.

Coryza, coryza!

Don't worry about him.

I've gotta go now.

I don't blame you.

Take your cigarette with you.

Hi.

I'm still stronger than you with the

drinking and smoking and I'll prove it.

I'll arm wrestle with you.

Are you kidding?

You want to arm wrestle with me?

You think you have a chance?

Do I think I have a chance?

I think I'll beat you.

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Why don't you try a little harder?

Ungh...

I want you so bad...

Aaaaagh!

I lost my strength.

We're coming into the station.

I'll be back in five minutes.

Where are you going?

I'll be back in five minutes.

I wish we could travel longer.

You guys going to see each other after?

Is it serious, Steph?

He's out, man, he's out.

That's my Ace.

That's your five and his deuce.

Wait a minute.

You two guys are out.

What's going on here?

Did you fold your cards?

What's going on?

What are you doing on this train?

I'm escorting a coffin across the country.

It's a black man in that coffin.

It's a great black man.

He saved my life and I'm taking him home.

I'm taking him home a hero.

He's gonna be Jackie Robinson

when he gets home.

Understand what I'm saying?

I lost 21 guys in Korea.

They're buried over there.

This isn't my kind of game.

Why the hell you think you have a monopoly

on feeling sorry for yourself?

You only have one. I had 21.

Sergeant, get off my back with this bull.

I lived a lifetime,

a lifetime with 21 dead men.

You're walking around with a chip

on your shoulder.

Big sarge, "hey, I'm sorry my buddy's dead".

Hell, I lost 21!

Who the hell are you?

Get outta my face.

A hero.

Jackie Robinson.

Jackie Robinson 1946, 1957 Brooklyn Dodgers,

second baseman, started off

in '46 as a first baseman.

Came up in '45 with Montreal royals.

Jackie Robinson's not the first.

Leroy "satchel" Paige.

Satchel Paige, 1952, Robinson was the first.

Cleveland Indians, hesitation pitch,

don't eat fried foods, don't look behind you,

somebody may be gaining.

Run fast, live long,

one of the finest hitters in baseball.

Who's the first hero, Robinson or Paige?

Okay, you want to go back?

They were all great.

Could you please keep your cigarette

out of my nose?

You have a little in here.

Could you please keep your nose

out of our cigarettes?

Chloe!

Cheers...

To prosperity and a wonderful train ride.

Now as good as masturbation is for men,

look how good masturbation is

for women.

Those women who grew up in a repressed society,

no matter what problems they had sexually,

if they had the habit of always masturbating

then they knew in their body they had a sexuality

that nothing could repress and as soon as

they got a good enough partner it came out,

or it came out in their own satisfaction.

This man here thinks that I'm sick.

This is a different level than he can deal with.

He likes to have a few drinks and have a fuck.

You're goddamn right I do.

Would you like to come to my room?

I said would you like to come to my room?

I'd like to come to your room.

That's a shame.

What are you doing?

You're the kind of guy, after you're

finished having sex, you smoke a cigarette

'cause that's your favorite activity.

And that's the dessert after the sex.

Is that true, yes or no?

No. I never smoke after I have sex.

I collapse.

'Cause when I give I give completely.

I lay it all down.

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

There's something oddly endearing about the man.

What's that?

It's the combat areas.

What's it like?

You know what I'm doing here?

I got a coffin in the baggage car.

He's a good friend of mine.

Do you believe sex is directly related

with chess?

Didn't you say you were going to let me study

the position if you sat here with me?

I've got to get this position down.

Of course sex is related with chess.

The mere fact you say "position"

"position" to me has a sexual connotation.

You use it in the same context as chess.

Well, there's a theory that there's

a distinct relationship.

When you play chess it's an aggressive thing

in the way that there's a sexual displacement.

It's related to all kinds of things

like anal sadism, father murder.

When you touch a piece you have to move it.

The whole point about that it's like

you're restraining the urge to masturbate.

Where did you get your watch?

Walt Disney gave me this.

It's Mickey mouse.

What for?

Well, because...

You inspired him?

Yeah, I gave him Donald duck

and he gave me Mickey mouse.

You're so beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

Do you enjoy playing chess

as much as you do having sex?

It's difficult to equate it.

If I had to give up one or the other for the

rest of my life which would I choose?

Well, I think you know the answer to that.

I want you to think before you answer

because I have great powers.

It's the answer you suspect.

If you suspect the one I don't think you suspect

then you deserve that answer.

So it would be chess then?

Alright, it would be chess.

The going got rough out there.

You think of the strangest things.

Like what?

Child things. You ever do that?

Be a child? Think of strange things?

Better believe it.

You came from a small town, didn't you?

Yeah.

I came from a big one. Big city.

I ran away from home when I was seven.

It was a whole different type of trip

but definitely strange.

You ran away when you were seven?

I ran away when I was 14.

Took me twice as long.

I spent... God...

Years, if you put 'em together,

on trains going across country,

back and forth, back and forth.

One thing that sticks out in my mind,

or maybe it's my soul, was Albuquerque.

It was Santa fe rail road, super cheap,

we'd stop in Albuquerque and

I never got off the train, I don't know why.

The Indian woman would be on the platform

with the rugs and the jewelry,

which I went back to later on.

Yeah, and the quality of light

there in new Mexico.

I've never gotten over that, that's for sure.

Then back on the train. Ch-ch-ch-ch.

Every once in a while, on certain trains,

the upper berth if you were lucky

you got the little window

then when it was all dark you could

peek out the window and watch the lights go by.

I'd have strange dreams then.

I always thought I was on a ship.

I always thought about the wake

I was leaving behind; Phosphorus and white.

It was just moon on the rails, I guess.

Yeah, I'd see that hit the wires sometimes

when we were on a train.

It hits the wires, it hits the tracks.

I'd want to know where they were going.

Where what were going?

The trains.

You wanted to know where they were going?

Yeah. 'Cause I couldn't go anywhere.

We were real poor. I couldn't go anywhere

and I wondered where they were going.

And so I joined the army.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.

Coupla runaways.

Yup.

I wish I could remember what that sign said.

It was something about poverty.

Can't remember...

What sign?

You know, I just wish I hadn't been in 'nam.

They brought back my cousin on the train.

My cousin Arturo.

He came back on a train.

All the family was at the station waiting,

you know, hereford, Texas, the panhandle

where when it rains it rains very darkly.

It was raining that day

and they brought him off the...

You know, that car.

They brought him off in a box.

Arturo was very young.

Why are you in the service?

I think it's one of the most profound

obsessions a man or a woman should have:

Death.

And we all have our fantasies.

Listen to me, you gotta help me, okay?

I'm not what I seem.

I'm not the guy you even met.

I'm political, very political.

Radical, and all my joy is just a cover.

'Cause I'm underground. Very underground.

And there's someone on this fuckin' train

that's a fake!

So all you gotta do is hide me,

will you do that for me?

I'll hide in the bathroom.

Just talk to him.

Are you going to put your uniform on?

You're a soldier, they'll believe you.

Will you do it, buddy?

Falen, help me!

Will you help me?

Help me, falen!

Can't do it.

Know why I can't do it?

Do you know why I can't-

no, I don't!

'Cause I don't have my uniform!

I want to bring you back alive, man.

So I failed with your buddy, okay?

But I've been working my ass off.

My buddy died because of guys like you!

You're the guys that killed him!

You're the guys that killed him!

I want you out in the hall.

I want you out in the hallway right now!

You gotta get out of here!

Get out!

Get away from my door, man!

He's all yours now.

Good. We're finally moving.

Where are we, anyway?

Don't think you've affected the subject

or something like that but, you see,

I have this thing about sneezing.

You know what I do for a living?

What?

I work for the government.

There's a tremendous sexual relationship

between sneezing and orgasms altogether.

Don't you know that?

Why don't you look at me when I talk to you?

I'm looking around...

Sure, you're looking around there,

but that's what I do. I'm the government man.

But that's not what I love to do,

I love to sell the land.

All the rest is bullshit but it makes me a living.

You can't put that down, can you?

I'd rather have an orgasm than sneeze.

But I'm questioning how good your orgasms

can be under those circumstances.

I'm the government man!

Listen to 'em laughing.

You like to laugh

gene, you're my friend...

Bullshit!

You're not my friend.

I am your friend.

Morning.

Morning.

We're arriving in 15 minutes,

we'll have a three and a half hour layover.

Have a beautiful day.

Chloe?

What?

We're changing trains now.

I'm staying on the train with him.

I'm not going to your parents' house anymore.

What?

I'm staying on the train with him.

After what happened with Mark and everything?

You can't do that.

Don't you just want to get out of here?

I'm really scared.

Come on, please?

Please don't stay with him, please?

I don't want you to go.

Please don't go.

Please

I can't, Chloe.

I just want to give him something nice just once.

He's had nothing nice in his whole life,

don't you understand?

No! No...

Now what are you worried about?

Don't you know that everything's

going to be just fine?

You're going to forget this in no time flat.

My good heavens.

I've seen this happen to so many people and

some of them can't take it but you can take it.

I can see it right in your eyes.

You're a courageous little boy

and you've nothing to worry about, believe me.

They're gonna fuckin' get you and

they're gonna beat the fuckin' shit outta you

for what you've done!

'Cause they know what you've done!

You want something to eat?

Can I get you something?

Watch yourself.

No, really. Watch yourself.

There are dangers - many, many, many, many dangers

and you have been bad.

Yes, you have been bad.

You must not be bad or there will be trouble -

terrible, terrible, terrible trouble.

You can be hurt badly, badly, badly hurt!

You can really be mangled in this life.

There are things that happen to people

that you don't yet know

because you are too young to understand

how people kick you and suck you

and bleed you and want to kill you!

Let me study the position, then.

You keep going back to "position".

I'll play checkers if you want to play for money.

Hi gene.

Sergeant, how are ya?

It will be alright.

Why don't you sit down, have a drink with me?

Sit down, will ya?

You know, I sit here and I look at this land

and nobody in their right mind

should be without their own-

wasn't somebody sitting here?

Just now, you mean?

The chess player, Emil.

Emil? I don't know any Emil.

Your friend, Emil.

I don't know any Emil,

I don't know any chess player.

I knew a guy once, I sold him some land.

His name was Emil but he's not on this train.

You alright?

Can I get you guys a drink?

A couple of beers.

Any particular kind?

I don't care, I just want some beer.

Are you alright now?

Can we talk seriously for a minute?

Take a look out the window.

Yeah, I play chess.

I don't play chess.

Now would you look out the window

and see what's going by?

At the top of the hill you see homes,

you see land, you see beauty-

that was his last name, charlot.

Emil charlot.

A guy I knew back home.

I'd like to be some place

really beautiful with you.

I'd like...

There's a place a couple of hours away from here

that I went to when I was a little girl

with my family.

It's this beautiful park

with lots of trees, birds...

I think I can remember, it was a long time ago.

Are you asking me if I'd get off the train?

I just have to be there by Monday.

I could take a day off.

You want to take a day off with me?

Sure.

Yeah.

Mark came to me for help.

I couldn't help him.

What are you talking about?

Guys like that, in war, have to be sacrificed.

Mark came to me for help and I couldn't...

I couldn't help him.

I'm on a very important mission.

Guys like that have to be sacrificed.

No matter how much you like 'em.

I'm on a very important mission!

You're crazy!

Get away from me!

You're crazy! You're crazy!

It's guys like that, even if you like 'em,

it's guys like that, in a war...

They have to be sacrificed.

I thought there'd be a parade here -

not a parade, I thought there'd be

a band, or people here.

Didn't you get the telegram?

This man's a war hero.

No, sir, I didn't.

What time is the funeral?

The funeral's at 4:00, sir.

You told me to arrange it at 4:00.

I'd like to synchronize our watches, please.

I don't have one.

What time do you have?

I keep mine five minutes ahead

but I've got 10:05.

Four o'clock...

The other side of town,

half a mile down this road-

listen, when you move this coffin

you keep the stars in front.

Yes, sir.

This man's a hero,

I want him treated like one.

Yes, sir.

I'll take a walk and see you at the cemetery.

He's the biggest hero that's ever been here.

No one showed up.

No one.

Let's just lower it, okay?

Let's lower it.

No one showed up.

Do you mind if I have a moment

alone with my friend?

It's not procedure-

I want to be alone with my friend.

I have some things I have to take care of.

Just between my friend and me.

I want you to leave.

Please!

Give me an hour! Give me an hour!

I have things I have to do.

A lot of things I have to do.

A lot of things...

A lot of things I love...

I love...

I love...

I really love...

I really do love I really do love..

I love... I love... I love...

And I hate and I hate and I hate

and the guys I love 'cause I love I hate!

'Cause I love I hate!

'Cause I love! 'Cause I love!

You motherfuckers!

You motherfuckers!

You motherfuckers!

You motherfuckers!

Tcb, take care of business, tcb.

Okay, we know you're stoned on weed.

We know where we are.

Okay, okay.

Alright...

Let's cool down here.

You didn't just be in the army for nothin', mister.

They send you to 'nam, don't they?

They send you there.

You want to go to 'nam.

You want to go to 'nam?

I'll take you to 'nam! I'll take you to 'nam!

You want to go to 'nam?!

You want to go to 'nam?!

You want to go there?!

I'll take ya there!

You wanna go to 'nam? You wanna go to 'nam?

I'll take you to 'nam! I'll take you to 'nam!

You wanna go to 'nam?! You wanna go to 'nam?!
