WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THIS TOMORROW, OKAY?
168
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:07,005
UH-OH!
169
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:37,335
DID YOU CALL ME?
170
00:10:37,404 --> 00:10:39,871
NO. UH, IT WAS THE RAFT.
171
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:43,742
OH. THEN COULD BAILEY AND
I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?
172
00:10:43,811 --> 00:10:45,810
OH, YEAH, SURE, FINE.
UH, COME IN. COME IN.
173
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:49,614
- HELLO, MR. CARLSON.

174
00:10:49,683 --> 00:10:54,385
MR. CARLSON, BAILEY AND I WOULD LIKE
TO JOIN THE WOMEN IN BROADCASTING CLUB.
175
00:10:54,454 --> 00:10:57,922
UH-HUH. AND USUALLY THE EMPLOYER
PAYS THE DUES OF THE MEMBERS.
176
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,792
- I SEE.
- THERE'S ALSO
AN INITIATION FEE.
177
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:03,628
FINE. NO PROBLEM. OH. THANK YOU.
178
00:11:03,697 --> 00:11:06,131
UH, WHAT DOES THIS
ASSOCIATION DO?
179
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:09,100
OH, ALL SORTS OF
IMPORTANT THINGS.
180
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:11,260
THEY'RE PLANNING ON
PICKETING THIS VERY
181
00:11:11,284 --> 00:11:13,671
STATION FOR NOT HAVING
A FEMALE DISK JOCKEY.
182
00:11:13,741 --> 00:11:16,607
AH, WELL, I GUESS IN ESSENCE
I'D BE HELPING TO PAY FOR THAT.
183
00:11:16,677 --> 00:11:19,043
YEP. AH.
184
00:11:19,113 --> 00:11:20,912
WELL, REAL GOOD.
185
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:24,449
NICE RAFT.
186
00:11:24,518 --> 00:11:29,054
OH, YOU NOTICED, HUH? YEAH,
I'M-I'M REAL PROUD OF IT. UH...
187
00:11:29,123 --> 00:11:33,425
IF I COULD JUST FIGURE A WAY
TO DEFLATE THIS DARN THING.
188
00:11:33,493 --> 00:11:36,361
I'LL NEVER GET IT
THROUGH THAT DOOR.
189
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:38,363
I GOT IT.
190
00:11:42,635 --> 00:11:45,136
OH, I HATE TO DO THIS.
191
00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:50,776
HI.
192
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:53,311
OH.
193
00:11:54,614 --> 00:11:57,348
UM, HI, TRAVIS. COME ON IN.
194
00:11:57,418 --> 00:12:00,018
SACRIFICING RAFTS?
195
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:09,527
I JUST COULDN'T FIND A
WAY TO GET IT DEFLATED.
196
00:12:09,596 --> 00:12:12,697
UH-HUH. UH, LISTEN, SIR, I
THINK WE CAN GO AHEAD...
197
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:15,712
AND RUN THAT ADVERTISEMENT FOR THE
CAR DEALER WITHOUT VENUS'S PICTURE.
198
00:12:15,736 --> 00:12:19,504
- WHY?
- HATES TO HAVE HIS PICTURE
TAKEN, I GUESS.
199
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:21,465
THAT'S CRAZY. LOOK, I
GAVE A DIRECT ORDER,
200
00:12:21,489 --> 00:12:23,541
AND FOR ONCE I'D LIKE
TO HAVE IT CARRIED OUT.
201
00:12:23,610 --> 00:12:25,543
UH, HE CAN'T.
202
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:28,079
GIVE ME ONE GOOD
REASON WHY HE CAN'T.
203
00:12:29,282 --> 00:12:34,085
WELL, UH, I-I CAN'T.
204
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:36,321
AH, COME IN.
205
00:12:38,625 --> 00:12:41,258
UH, HI, MR. CARLSON.
206
00:12:41,327 --> 00:12:43,161
VENUS, WHAT ARE
YOU TRYING TO PULL?
207
00:12:43,230 --> 00:12:46,898
SIR, HE'S NOT TRYING TO PULL
ANYTHING. IT'S OKAY, ANDY.
208
00:12:46,967 --> 00:12:51,569
MR. CARLSON, UH, I'D BE TAKING TOO MUCH OF
A CHANCE IF I HAD MY PICTURE IN THE PAPER.
209
00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:54,106
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
210
00:12:54,174 --> 00:12:57,575
- WELL, I HAVE A LITTLE
TROUBLE WITH THE LAW.
- WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?
211
00:12:57,644 --> 00:13:01,178
I CAN GET MY ATTORNEY ON THE PHONE.
WE CAN GET THIS THING TAKEN CARE OF.
212
00:13:01,248 --> 00:13:04,515
MR. CARLSON, UH...
213
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:08,753
I'M A DESERTER FROM
THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
214
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:12,456
FOR THE PAST, UH, EIGHT YEARS...
215
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:16,461
I'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER
FALSE NAMES AND I.D.'s NOW.
216
00:13:18,699 --> 00:13:22,000
WELL, FORGIVE
ME, VENUS, BUT I...
217
00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:25,169
LOOK, LOOK, EIGHT YEARS WAS
A LONG TIME AGO. I THINK THAT...
218
00:13:25,238 --> 00:13:27,405
- DESERTER?
- YES, SIR.
219
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:29,841
HE WAS A KID. HE PROBABLY
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING.
220
00:13:29,909 --> 00:13:32,811
YOU RAN AWAY? YEAH.
221
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:36,781
LOOK, SIR, THE POINT OF THIS IS NOBODY
NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
222
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:39,584
- TRAVIS, I KNOW.
- IT WAS VIETNAM!
223
00:13:39,653 --> 00:13:42,253
WHAT DIFFERENCE IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO MAKE? PLENTY!
224
00:13:42,322 --> 00:13:45,367
ANDY, IT'S OKAY. YOU DON'T
HAVE TO WORRY. I'M QUITTING.
225
00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:48,759
- IF IT WAS ANYTHING ELSE...
- MR. CARLSON, WE CANNOT ASK HIM TO QUIT.
226
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:52,063
I'M SORRY, TRAVIS, BUT I
CANNOT CONDONE THIS...
227
00:13:52,132 --> 00:13:55,066
CAN I?
228
00:13:55,135 --> 00:13:57,969
YOU WERE IN THE MARINES, RIGHT?
229
00:13:58,038 --> 00:14:01,172
- YES.
- DID YOU SEE ANY COMBAT?
230
00:14:03,443 --> 00:14:05,376
YES.
231
00:14:05,445 --> 00:14:09,046
WELL, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, I SAW
AN AWFUL LOT OF COMBAT MYSELF.
232
00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:12,450
SO I GUESS I UNDERSTAND HOW
YOU FEEL, SO I'LL JUST BE MOVING ON.
233
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:15,252
OH, THAT'S A
GUTLESS THING TO DO.
234
00:14:17,157 --> 00:14:19,924
WHAT'D YOU SAY?
235
00:14:19,993 --> 00:14:24,095
YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID. I SAID THAT'S
A... THAT'S A GUTLESS THING TO DO.
236
00:14:24,164 --> 00:14:26,408
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
HELL YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT!
237
00:14:26,432 --> 00:14:28,933
HOLD IT. NOW LET'S EVERY...
JUST KEEP IT CALM, OKAY?
238
00:14:29,002 --> 00:14:30,935
YOU'RE GONNA RUN AND RUN...
239
00:14:31,004 --> 00:14:34,350
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO... TURN
MYSELF IN, GO STAND BEFORE A FIRING SQUAD?
240
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:37,108
THE ARMY DOESN'T HAVE
FIRING SQUADS ANYMORE.
241
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:39,155
YEAH, BUT THEY
HAVE PRISON, RIGHT?
242
00:14:39,179 --> 00:14:42,480
ARE YOU SAYING THEY CAN'T MAKE
A FAIR, RATIONAL, HUMANE DECISION?
243
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,450
MR. CARLSON, LOOK, I DON'T
EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND ME...
244
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,721
OR OUR GENERATION OR MY
COLOR OR THAT WAR I GOT STUCK IN.
245
00:14:49,789 --> 00:14:52,724
BUT I'M A DECENT
MAN. YES, SIR, I AM.
246
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:57,862
OKAY. THEN LET'S BUILD ON THAT.
247
00:14:57,931 --> 00:15:00,732
I'LL GET MY ATTORNEY ON THE
PHONE. HE'LL CALL THE ARMY.
248
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,934
WE'LL JUST TAKE A LOOK
AT WHERE WE ARE HERE.
249
00:15:03,003 --> 00:15:04,914
ANDY, WOULD YOU
TALK TO THIS MAN?
250
00:15:04,938 --> 00:15:08,673
VENUS, SIT DOWN.
COME ON, SIT DOWN.
251
00:15:08,742 --> 00:15:12,310
I JUST WANT YOU TO PUT YOURSELF
IN MY HANDS FOR A LITTLE BIT.
252
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:15,513
I MEAN, I WAS AN OFFICER. I KNOW
HOW TO HANDLE THESE THINGS.
253
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,216
ALL RIGHT. WHERE'S MY PHONE?
254
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:22,854
IT'S, UH, UNDER YOUR RAFT, SIR.
255
00:15:22,923 --> 00:15:24,855
OH, YEAH.
256
00:15:37,271 --> 00:15:39,370
OH, MAN, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
257
00:15:39,439 --> 00:15:41,539
AH, COME ON. WE'RE HERE NOW.
258
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:44,209
YEAH, OKAY.
259
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:47,590
LOOK, WHEN THEY COME IN, TELL
'EM GORDON SIMS JUST LEFT, OKAY?
260
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:51,216
W-W-W-WAIT A MINUTE.
WHO'S GORDON SIMS?
261
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:53,218
NEVER MIND.
262
00:15:53,286 --> 00:15:57,655
LET'S JUST CALM DOWN. I MEAN,
THEY'RE GONNA BE FAIR WITH US.
263
00:15:57,724 --> 00:16:00,469
MR. CARLSON, YOU
LIVE IN A DREAM WORLD.
264
00:16:00,493 --> 00:16:02,360
GENTLEMEN, I'M
MAJOR EDMUND HUNTER.
265
00:16:02,429 --> 00:16:04,362
I'LL BE THE INVESTIGATING
OFFICER IN THIS CASE.
266
00:16:04,431 --> 00:16:06,364
HI. HI. I'M GORDON SIMS.
267
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:09,500
- VENUS, THAT'S NOT GONNA WORK.
- SIT DOWN, GENTLEMEN.
268
00:16:15,342 --> 00:16:17,275
NOW, MR. SIMS...
269
00:16:17,344 --> 00:16:21,746
LOOK, HE'S NOT SIMS. HIS
NAME IS VENUS FLYTRAP.
270
00:16:23,450 --> 00:16:25,917
OH. THEN YOU'RE SIMS?
271
00:16:27,421 --> 00:16:30,188
HOW MANY YEARS
HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING?
272
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:33,290
I'M GORDON SIMS.
THAT'S MY REAL NAME.
273
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,293
YEAH?
274
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:39,230
MAJOR, UH, WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN TO ME?
275
00:16:39,265 --> 00:16:41,533
ANY NUMBER OF THINGS, MR. SIMS.
276
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:45,169
- THEY'RE NOT GONNA
SHOOT HIM, ARE THEY?
- WE DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE.
277
00:16:45,238 --> 00:16:47,938
AH, SEE?
278
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:50,708
YOU KNOW, WHAT THIS
MAN DID WAS WRONG.
279
00:16:50,777 --> 00:16:53,177
IT WAS VERY WRONG. BUT
THE WAY I SEE IT, MAJOR...
280
00:16:53,246 --> 00:16:55,380
MR. SIMS, I'VE GONE
OVER THE ARMY'S REPORT.
281
00:16:55,448 --> 00:16:58,149
NOW I'LL NEED YOUR
SIDE OF THE STORY.
282
00:16:58,217 --> 00:17:01,018
WELL, I HATED
THE WAR, SO I LEFT.
283
00:17:01,087 --> 00:17:03,588
COME ON, SIMS.
284
00:17:03,657 --> 00:17:06,491
NO, THAT'S IT. YOU
WERE IN VIETNAM.
285
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,528
I WAS. IN SAIGON.
286
00:17:10,597 --> 00:17:13,037
WELL, I DIDN'T GET THERE MUCH.
287
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:15,466
I WAS IN CU CHI,
CHEO REO, BAN SONG.
288
00:17:15,535 --> 00:17:18,102
KEPT US BLACK FOLKS
PRETTY CLOSE TO THE ACTION.
289
00:17:18,171 --> 00:17:20,738
VENUS, THE MAN IS
TRYING TO HELP YOU.
290
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:26,177
YEAH, WELL... OKAY,
HERE'S MY STORY.
291
00:17:26,246 --> 00:17:28,880
NOW, THIS IS HIS STORY.
YOU WRITE THIS DOWN.
292
00:17:28,949 --> 00:17:31,282
WHO IS THIS GUY?
293
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:33,284
MY FATHER.
294
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:43,394
OKAY, LET'S HEAR YOUR STORY.
295
00:17:43,463 --> 00:17:46,330
JUST REMEMBER
I'VE HEARD THEM ALL.
296
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,333
YEAH.
297
00:17:49,936 --> 00:17:52,537
WELL, UM... I HAD
JUST COME BACK...
298
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:55,573
FROM WHAT SEEMED
LIKE MY 8,000th FIREFIGHT.
299
00:17:55,642 --> 00:17:58,376
I WAS WITH A GUY WE
CALLED WEIRD LARRY.
300
00:17:58,445 --> 00:18:02,279
WEIRD LARRY USED TO SLEEP ALL DAY
AND THEN GO OUT AT NIGHT TO HUNT.
301
00:18:02,349 --> 00:18:05,316
HE'D SHOOT ANYTHING. I
WAS JUST THE OPPOSITE.
302
00:18:05,385 --> 00:18:07,952
I GOT SO I COULDN'T
PULL THE TRIGGER.
303
00:18:08,020 --> 00:18:10,955
SOME GOT LIKE THAT.
SOME GOT LIKE WEIRD LARRY.
304
00:18:11,023 --> 00:18:14,225
I GOT SO I HATED
WEIRD LARRY'S GUTS.
305
00:18:15,562 --> 00:18:17,662
WELL, ANYWAY, WE
WERE ON OUR WAY OUT,
306
00:18:17,731 --> 00:18:21,232
AND, UH, WE GOT A
CHOPPER TO SAIGON.
307
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:24,235
WERE YOU PLANNING
TO DESERT THEN?
308
00:18:24,304 --> 00:18:28,206
NO. WE WERE ON OUR WAY
HOME. IT WAS OVER FOR US.
309
00:18:32,078 --> 00:18:34,946
WELL, ANYWAY, UH, RIGHT
OUTSIDE OF DA NANG,
310
00:18:35,014 --> 00:18:37,381
THE CHOPPER GOT A CALL
FROM AN S-AND-D TEAM.
311
00:18:37,450 --> 00:18:39,516
THEY HAD SOME
VIETCONG PRISONERS.
312
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:42,419
AND WE PUT DOWN
IN THIS SMALL VILLAGE,
313
00:18:42,488 --> 00:18:45,022
AND FIVE MINUTES LATER
WE WERE BACK IN THE AIR...
314
00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:47,859
WITH THREE CHARLIES,
315
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:51,495
A COUPLE ARVN INTERROGATORS...
316
00:18:51,564 --> 00:18:54,198
OUR GUYS, THE PEOPLE WE
WERE FIGHTING TO HELP, RIGHT?
317
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:56,401
AND YOU WENT TO SAIGON?
318
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:58,403
YEAH.
319
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,107
BUT ON THE WAY,
320
00:19:03,176 --> 00:19:05,543
THEY START QUESTIONING
THESE PRISONERS,
321
00:19:05,611 --> 00:19:09,280
AND I DON'T THINK THEY
WANTED TO TALK, BECAUSE, UH...
322
00:19:09,349 --> 00:19:12,469
WELL, BECAUSE THEY TOSSED
ONE OF 'EM RIGHT OUT THE DOOR.
323
00:19:15,121 --> 00:19:19,190
RIGHT OUT THE DOOR. WE WERE
AT ABOUT A THOUSAND FEET.
324
00:19:22,128 --> 00:19:23,361
GO ON.
325
00:19:26,066 --> 00:19:27,999
YEAH.
326
00:19:28,068 --> 00:19:32,003
WELL, UH, THEY GOT THIS
OTHER GUY, AND THERE HE GOES.
327
00:19:32,072 --> 00:19:35,312
WEIRD LARRY AND I WERE JUST KIND
OF SITTING THERE WATCHING ALL OF THIS,
328
00:19:35,342 --> 00:19:39,710
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WEIRD STARTED
GIGGLING, LIKE HE'S LOVING THIS, RIGHT?
329
00:19:41,281 --> 00:19:44,249
THEN HE TURNED
AT ME AND HE SMILED.
330
00:19:44,317 --> 00:19:47,285
AND, UH, HE STOOD UP,
331
00:19:48,755 --> 00:19:51,289
AND HE WALKED RIGHT
OUT THE DOOR TOO.
332
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,160
BOY, WEIRD LARRY SHOWED
ME WHAT IT WAS RIGHT ABOUT...
333
00:19:56,229 --> 00:19:58,263
RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
334
00:19:58,331 --> 00:20:00,398
I SAW IT!
335
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:04,369
AFTER 10 MONTHS AND
29 DAYS, I FINALLY GOT IT!
336
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:06,604
YEAH.
337
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,940
WELL, SOMETHING JUST SNAPPED.
338
00:20:09,009 --> 00:20:12,576
WEIRD LARRY TOOK HIS WAY
OUT. I DECIDED TO TAKE MINE.
339
00:20:12,645 --> 00:20:15,780
SO WHEN WE GOT
BACK TO THE STATES,
340
00:20:15,848 --> 00:20:18,983
I TURNED LEFT INSTEAD OF
TURNING RIGHT AT THE AIRPORT,
341
00:20:19,052 --> 00:20:23,654
AND THAT WAS THE LAST ANYBODY
EVER SAW OF OLD GORDON SIMS.
342
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:25,990
IT WAS EASY.
343
00:20:32,165 --> 00:20:34,265
ISN'T THAT AMAZING?
344
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:42,507
ONE DAY YOU'RE IN A CHOPPER OVER
IN 'NAM WITH A GUY NAMED WEIRD LARRY,
345
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:46,076
AND A FEW DAYS LATER YOU'RE
DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAYS OF L.A.
346
00:20:47,414 --> 00:20:49,514
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN 23 YET.
347
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:55,753
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN SEEN
COMBAT THOSE LAST THREE WEEKS.
348
00:20:58,291 --> 00:21:00,257
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
349
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,278
THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GONNA SAY?
350
00:21:09,302 --> 00:21:11,201
FOR NOW.
351
00:21:12,572 --> 00:21:14,550
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
352
00:21:14,574 --> 00:21:19,043
MR. SIMS, COULD WE SPEAK
WITHOUT YOUR FATHER PRESENT?
353
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:23,181
OH, NO. NO, YOU DON'T. I
KNOW HOW THE ARMY WORKS.
354
00:21:23,249 --> 00:21:26,351
THE MARINES USED TO WORK THE SAME
WAY. BOY, YOU GUYS TAKE THE CAKE.
355
00:21:26,419 --> 00:21:29,286
MR. SIMS, YOU WILL STAY ON THIS
BASE UNTIL I FINISH MY INVESTIGATION.
356
00:21:29,355 --> 00:21:31,756
IT MIGHT TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
357
00:21:31,824 --> 00:21:34,625
OH, NO, SIRREE. OH, NO. I
CAME HERE FOR ACTION.
358
00:21:34,694 --> 00:21:36,894
NONE OF THIS ARMY
"HURRY UP AND WAIT" STUFF.
359
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,664
NO, SIR, WHAT I WANT IS JUSTICE, AND IF I
DON'T GET IT HERE, I'M GOING TO WASHINGTON.
360
00:21:40,734 --> 00:21:45,903
I THINK A GENERAL DISCHARGE MIGHT BE IN
ORDER. I DON'T THINK THERE'LL BE A TRIAL.
361
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:47,905
REALLY?
362
00:21:47,974 --> 00:21:50,608
I THINK UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
363
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:54,612
OH. WELL, UH...
364
00:22:01,754 --> 00:22:04,021
GORDON? VENUS.
365
00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:06,991
VENUS.
366
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:10,795
UH, I'LL HAVE YOUR
STUFF SENT OVER.
367
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:14,899
YEAH, UH, THANKS, POP.
368
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:27,010
WHEW. OH, BOY.
369
00:22:31,417 --> 00:22:33,851
HERE YOU GO, JENNIFER.
370
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,987
A COMPLETE AND UP-TO-DATE
LIST OF ALL THE EMPLOYEES.
371
00:22:37,056 --> 00:22:40,324
THEIR HOME ADDRESSES
AND PHONE NUMBERS.
372
00:22:40,393 --> 00:22:42,960
- THANK YOU, BAILEY.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
373
00:23:01,981 --> 00:23:04,360
JENNIFER, MAY I SEE
THAT LIST, PLEASE?
374
00:23:04,384 --> 00:23:06,517
OH, SURE. THANK YOU.
375
00:23:06,585 --> 00:23:10,654
FLYTRAP. FLYTRAP. OH, ANDY!
376
00:23:10,724 --> 00:23:13,658
VENUS GAVE US HIS ADDRESS
AND HIS PHONE NUMBER.
377
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:17,528
AHA! WHAT DO YOU
MAKE OF THAT, LES?
378
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:20,798
WELL, I DON'T KNOW, ANDY.
379
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:23,801
WHERE HAS HE BEEN LATELY?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM FOR DAYS.
380
00:23:23,870 --> 00:23:25,803
YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
381
00:23:25,872 --> 00:23:27,805
I CAN TAKE IT.
382
00:23:37,050 --> 00:23:41,152
HE'S WORKING... FOR
THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
383
00:23:42,555 --> 00:23:44,655
WHAT'S HE DOING FOR THEM?
384
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,332
HE'S PEELING POTATOES.
385
00:23:58,571 --> 00:24:00,705
PEELING POTATOES?
386
00:24:01,641 --> 00:24:03,574
OOH.
