[SHRIEKS WITH LAUGHTER]

[SCREAMS]

Just like
From Here to Eternity, huh?

But I'm not
Deborah Kerr,

and I don't think

anyone would mistake
you for Burt Lancaster.

It happens
all the time.

[LAUGHING]

All the time.

It's beautiful here,
isn't it?

Yeah.

I keep thinking
about the platoon.

Well, we're only here
until tomorrow,

so I think we're entitled
to enjoy today.

It's gonna require
a special effort, though,

to keep my mind occupied.

I think I can handle it.

Think so?

[LAUGHING]

I don't know.

Thank you.

You're welcome, sir.

To the real life.

I think I could
get used to this.
And to us.

You're gonna be with me.

It's just so hard to think
about a future after 'Nam.

Sometimes I think
I'm gonna be in that hospital

the rest of my life.

Hey, I'm gonna
make it back.

It's weird, but I was thinking
about it on the beach today.

I'm gonna get out of there.

Will you still stay in the army?

You're not listening to me.

I said, "I'm gonna
get out of there,"

and I want
you to marry me.

How can you
say that?

I can't believe you're
doing this to me.

Wasn't he on the plane?

Yeah, he's the captain
from the 173rd.

I don't care
if I'm making a scene!

I've been in the jungle
for seven months,

and you meet me here
to tell me it's over?

Welcome home,
soldier!

Please, the last thing I wanted
to do was to hurt you.

Oh, thank you. That's
just a little side benefit.

What did you think,
I'd feel good about it?

I can't take this anymore.

You can't take it anymore?

She can't take it anymore.

She runs off with Jody
while I'm fighting the war,

and she can't
take it anymore.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry. She's sorry.

Everybody's sorry.

Well, buddy, I ain't sorry,

because I get to
go back to Vietnam

and serve my country,

and now I don't have to worry
about anybody getting upset

if Charlie eats my lunch!
Ain't life grand!

[SMASHES GLASS]

Hey...

Hey, let me handle this,
all right?

Sir, you don't want to do this.

Who the hell are you?

Just a lieutenant
from the 196th.

[CRYING]

Don't do this
to yourself, man.

She's done with me.

Just like that.

What the hell did I do
to deserve this?

I don't know.

Busting this place up
isn't the answer.

Come on, I'll buy you
a drink somewhere.

Someplace else.

Come on back to bed.

I was just thinking
about that guy.

It's sad, I know,

but you did all
that you could do.

Yeah, I put him to bed,
talked to his wife.

She was really kind of nice,
you know?

Things happen.

It's not really a matter
of blaming anyone.

How about blaming the war?

Maybe it would've happened
even without the war.

It's not just him.

You know, guys losing their
wives and their girlfriends...

it's guys losing their lives

and their limbs...

get their emotional life
ripped to shreds,

for what?

I mean, it just gets
harder and harder.

I don't see any good
coming out of this.

We got each other.

That's something good
come out of all this.

Amen.

[DISTANT GUNFIRE]

[GRENADE EXPLODES]

How you guys doing
up here, huh?

Oh, never
better, sir.

Sweating out
those poisons

that pollute our body
and weaken our mind.

Don't listen
to him, Mitchell.

He'll have you eating
the local insects

in with
your c-rats.

Hey, I ain't
listening to nothing

but all that gunfire
up there, man.

Hey, what is this
place, anyway, huh?

It's hill 1,000.

It's 1,000 feet
from top to bottom.

Maybe 998 after that napalm
last September.

We took it once before.

Then why are we
taking it again?

Because we left it
after we took it.

Say what?

That's the way
we fight this war, Mitchell,

we give things up

so no one'll think
that we're the bad guys.

Hey, don't be messing with
my head like that, okay, man?

We can't occupy
every hill we take, Horn.

Well, then it seems
kind of stupid to take them.

I'll tell you
what, Horn.

When they put you
on Westmoreland's staff,

then you can figure out
how to win this thing.

Now, let's go.

[MAN MOANING]

Come on, Fuller,
you're gonna be all right.

Yeah, okay.

Come on.

You guys first squad?

Yeah.

How bad?

Gut shot.
He'll make it

if we can get him
on a dustoff.

Hey, what's going on
up there, man?

We done had three KIA already,

and I ain't seen
one lousy Cong yet.

They dug in?

Man, who knows?

It's so thick up there,

you can't even see
three feet in front of you.

Could be 10, maybe 10,000 VC.

What we're doing up there
in the first place, man,

I'll never know.

[MOANING]

This place is creepy, man.
It's just too creepy.

Let it go, baby.

Just another
operation.

All right, Johnson,
take a break, now.

Percell, when
we move out,

you got the point.

I heard that, sarge.

Dan, that's one
you can have, boy.

[CHOPPER OVERHEAD]

This yours?

How was the R and R?

Well, it's sort of
like the war...

you know,
it's okay for the moment,

but a little bit cloudy
in the future.

I hope that bird's
seeing more than we are.

PILOT: Bravo 26,
this is Spider 29er. Over.

Roger, 29er. This is 26. Go.

26, give me
a sit-rep. Over.

We're about 200 meters
from the summit. Go.

Roger, 26.

Proceed same heading
another 50 meters.

First platoon's coming down,
and Arty'll soften the top.

You go in
after that. Over.

29er, what's it look like
up there? Go.

Can't be too many, 26.

The canopy's so thick

we can't even see
muzzle flashes.

Let me know

when you've covered
the 50 meters. Out.

Roger. Out.

Oh, boy, I just came back
from R and R just in time!

All right, sergeant,
let's rock 'n' roll!

SARGE: Percell!
Let's get it done!

PERCELL:
Lieutenant,

first platoon's
coming down.

Your turn, Myron.

What's it like
up there, Pete?

Oh, I wish I
could tell you.

All we're getting's
small arms fire and grenades.

There's nothing
big up there.

What's the size of their force?

Probably a platoon,
but that's just a guess.

It's like
fighting ghosts.

I don't know about you, Myron,

but I didn't sign up
to fight ghosts.

Go easy.

Yeah.

I'll see you.

Yeah.

10 meters, sergeant.

Yes, sir.

Make sure the men
get good positions.

I don't want anybody
getting greased

by our own artillery.

I heard that.

[DISTANT GUNFIRE]

[LOUD GUNFIRE]

[PANTING]

Hey, what's
happening, man?

I don't like
this stuff.

Just keep your
head down, brother,

and play follow
the leader.

We'll take care
of you.

Hey, what's up there?

Victor Charlie,
brother.

It's like
King of the Mountain.

He's up there now,

but we're about
to run him off.

They'll be back later, though.

Oh, man.

[GUNFIRE]

[SCREAMING]

Stay down, man!

Snake bit me, man!

Stay down!

[SCREAMING]

Taylor!

[CHOKING]

Relax, Mitchell!

[CHOKING]

Mitchell! Hell,
man, Mitchell!

Taylor, what the hell's
wrong with him?

I don't know, sarge.

He said snake,
but I don't see one.

Mitchell! Mitchell!

Come on, Taylor.

Mitchell!

Taylor!

Damn, that pit viper's venom

kills you faster
than the electric chair.

PILOT:
Bravo 26, this is
Spider 29er. Over.

Roger, 29er. Go.

26, we're dropping 50
and firing for effect.

Keep your heads down.

It'll be danger
close. Over.

29er, I got a man down
from a snakebite. Go.

Roger that, 26.

Bring him down with you
after the assault.

We can't be waiting
on these yard birds.

Out.

Yeah, right.

All right, keep your heads down!

[SHELLS DROPPING]

[SHELLS DROPPING]

Madre mia.

Man, how close
they gonna get

with that stuff?

Close enough
to shave with, brother.

You see anything, Danny?

Nothing.

Whoever's up there

has got to be
hamburger by now.

You been here too long
to believe that, Baker.

Wishful thinking.

Affirmative, 29.

I'll radio from
the top. Out.

Two more rounds,
and we go.

I want an
on-line assault

all the way
to the summit.

I'll put people
on the flank.

Let's go.

Johnson,
we're going.

Ruiz, you're
gonna cover.

Let's do it, sergeant! Go!

Up the hill!

SARGE: Let's go! Let's go!

Go! Go!

Move! Move! Move!

Go! Go!

Keep it going!
Keep it going!

Move! Move!

[CONSTANT GUNFIRE]

[GRENADE EXPLODES]

SARGE: All right, everybody,
set up a perimeter guard!

Keep your eyes open!

Johnson...
It's clean.

Oh, hell, LT, they're gone.
They deedee'd.

Goddamn it. They were here!
They were shooting at us!

Oh, sure,
they were here.

There's sandal prints
all over the place.

There's some blood.

No bodies, LT.

There ain't
no bodies here.

There ain't no bodies
anywhere around here!

Well, maybe we're lucky,

but next time,
somebody's gonna be unlucky

when they got to come
up the hill to take it again!

We can't get 'em
to stay in one place.

Run away,
live to fight another day.

All right, what are
we supposed to do?

Are we supposed to leave now,

or raise the flag
like at Iwo Jima, huh?

Hey, we took the hill, LT!

The only thing
that got took here was us!

Sergeant, put a lid on it.

[HELICOPTER OVERHEAD]

Horn, Horn, Horn...

PILOT: Bravo 26,
this is Spider 29er. Over.

Roger, 29er. Go.

What you got, 26?

I got zip, 29er. Over.

Say again, 26?

I say I got zip, 29er.
I got an abandoned bunker.

I got no enemy.
The enemy is gone. Over.

What's the body count? Over.

I got nothing, 29er!

I say again, I got nothing!

I got no body count.
I got no bodies.

I got no body parts.

Nobody's here.

I don't even have
any shell casings.

Do you read me? Over.

Uh, roger, 26.
Stand by.

I bet the Cong's
back up there already!

Orders
are orders, Horn!

There's nothing
I can do about it!

I can't stage
a sit-down strike!

It's so stupid!

Four guys died on that hill.

We turn around,
and we walk away.

I want to know why?

Look, Horn, I realize
every decision in this army

is not Phi Beta Kappa.

They had us
clear the hill

so they could spray it
with defoliants,

and Charlie's got
no place to hide.

Well, then, why didn't
we do that in the first place?

I don't know, Horn.

They failed to let me in on it.

Well, maybe they can tell
Mitchell's parents

or the parents
of the guys

from the first platoon.

I mean,
what'd those guys die for?

I know it's tough, Horn,
but just let it be.

Yeah, well, what about--

Horn, let it be!

Sir.

Whoa, there, soldier.

Aren't you forgetting something?

I asked you a question,
Specialist.

I don't know
what you've done today, sir,

but we've been out
fighting the war,

and the last thing I need
is a salute--

I asked you a question!

Excuse me, sir.

What is it, sergeant?

With all
respect, sir,

these men are
all very tired.

We've lost
some of our people today,

and usually, at the firebase,

we don't usually
salute officers.

I appreciate what you've
been through, sergeant.

I really do,

but this is not
a firebase,

and we can't let
all our discipline go

just because we had a bad day.

Yes, sir.

Now, I want this soldier
to render a proper hand salute

to a superior officer.

Do it, Horn.

Look here, Horn,
now, there ain't--

there's no getting
around this thing.

You're gonna have to give
the lieutenant his salute,

then we can get back,
get this dirt cleaned off.

and we can get on
about our business.

Come on,
get it done.

Soldier!

Look, sir--

Stay out of it, sergeant!
Dismissed!

Come back here, soldier!

I don't know where
you learned to salute,

and I don't much care

how lax discipline
is in your platoon,

but you're gonna give me
a proper hand salute,

and you're gonna
hold that salute

until I return it,

and if we have to,

we'll stay out here
until you get it right.

Yes, sir.

Afternoon, sir!

Afternoon, Specialist.

Carry on.

Well, I know one thing...

I'm going to go over
to the club,

wash this nasty funk off me,
and get me a case of beer.

You're all welcome
to join me if you like.

Well, as funky
as you are, Taylor,

that could take you
a couple hours.

Yeah, I just want
to get over there

and see that stripper.

Start thinking about all the joy
I'm gonna bring them girls

in sin city tomorrow.

Well, now, wait
a minute, y'all.

Now, you might
have to wait

till tomorrow
afternoon

on this sin
city business,

because you got
an awards ceremony

tomorrow morning
right before breakfast.

Awards ceremony?

Yeah, awards ceremony.

All these valiant warriors
here among you

are gonna get some medals
to pin on your chests,

so when you go on back,
you can impress the women.

[LAUGHS]

I don't believe this.

What are we gonna get
for today, sarge,

the silver shaft
with a cow-pie cluster?

Man, this army's getting to be
too much for me.

Aw, come on, Horn,
lighten up a little bit.

You're gonna give yourself
a hernia, there.

I want you all
looking your best, now,

because you're
all good soldiers.

You're damn good soldiers,

and that ain't nothing
to be ashamed of.

COL. DOWNING: Staff Sergeant
Clayton E. Anderson,

the Silver Star.

For gallantry and heroism
in ground combat

in the Binh Khe Valley,
Nine, December, 1967.

Sergeant Anderson
took his flame thrower,

and with complete disregard
for his own personal safety,

single-handedly assaulted
and destroyed the NVA position,

He is a credit to himself...

to rescue a fallen comrade.

His actions are in

...Lieutenant Myron Goldman.

The Bronze Star for valor.

Lieutenant Goldman's actions
are in the highest tradition

of military service,

And reflect credit
upon himself, his unit,

and the United States Army.

I'm not buying it.

You know, I'm supposed to be
the platoon leader.

I'm supposed to know
what's going on.

Instead,
I know absolutely nothing.

LT, now, the men
don't expect you

to have all
the answers,

they just expect you
to do your job.

No, but how
are they supposed

to have any confidence
in what I'm telling them,

when I don't have confidence
in what I'm telling them myself?

I can't keep
sending them out on missions

that have absolutely no purpose.

LT, those are the orders.

Yeah, but I don't believe
in the orders,

and neither do you.

Horn's
absolutely right,

and I got
to write a letter

to the parents
of the guys that we lost.

"Dear Mrs. Mitchell,

"I'm sorry your son
died in Vietnam,

"but it wasn't
the Vietcong

"that killed him,

it was, you know,
a damn snake."

Wait a second, LT.

I got to tell you
something, here,

you're gonna make
yourself crazy.

Am I interrupting?

No, it's okay.

Can I talk to you?

Yeah, we're
done now.

This isn't exactly
how I planned it,

but you're here
and I don't know

when you're
moving out, so...

here it goes.

I'm not going
to marry you, Myron.

I can't.

Wait a minute. Wait.
Just...hang on. Hang on. Wait.

No, no. Let me talk.

Just let me get this out.

Okay.

I've really tried
to think this through,

and I'm trying put that fear
out of my mind

that the next dead guy
coming in could be you,

but I can't.

I cannot live every day
in that fear,

and I won't
pretend I can.

It's just not fair...
to me or to you.

I've put in
for a transfer,

so I'll be leaving
as soon as it comes in.

I'm sorry.

Wait-- Wait a minute. Come on.

I-- I love you, you know?

I know.

She looked like Ruiz.

You kissed her.

Hey, guys,
I think I'm going to go AWOL.

I'm hanging out
with this baby-san,

because I love her so much.

She treats me better
than Uncle Sam.

Hey, there's
gonna be new girls

in at the Dixie, man.

I don't want any new girls.

I like this one.

I'm a bona fide war hero.

I'm a real war hero.

I'm going to make your country
safe for democracy.

I'm going to protect
your virtue.

Come on, Horn.

JOHNSON: Horn..

you're making a fool
of yourself, man.

Me?

Making a fool of myself?

Man, this is

the best thing I've done
since I've been in country.

I made a fool of myself
walking up hill 1,000,

and so did you...

and you...

and you and you.

We all made fools of ourselves

winning these stupid
little things.

Damn, y'all look like
a nice cheery group.

What's going on here?

I think, uh,
Horn's gonna get married, sarge.

yeah, and stay
in this country,

because I love
it so much.

Well, Horn, I got some good news
and I got some bad news.

Good news is,

it's a nice day
to get married.

The bad news is
you ain't getting married today.

Y'all better sober up,

because we're moving out
at first light.

Where, sarge,
back to hill 1,000?

Damn, that boy's psychic.

Look,
you're joking, huh?

No.

I want some answers, sarge,
and I want 'em now!

Hey, Horn, haven't you heard?

In the army you get orders,
you don't get answers.

So we're going back?

The dinks shot down the chopper
that was spraying the area.

Now we've got to go
secure the hill.

And we're elected.

Hey, we know
the terrain.

Yeah, and we'll never forget it.

God...

[SOLDIERS CONVERSING QUIETLY]

This is spooky, man.

No sign of the pilot.

It's like the jungle
just swallowed him up.

Stuff sure smells
sweet, don't it?

This is some
serious poison, dude.

I wouldn't be
filling my canteen

from the local stream.

Hey, man,
ain't no big thing.

Oh, yeah, I'd think
even Marcus Taylor

would be afraid
of something

that kills 100,
200-foot trees.

I wonder if they're gonna
spray this stuff

all over this country.

Sure, turn this place
into a desert, man.

Those guys'd have
no place to hide.

They'd go
underground, Baker.

They'll always
find a way.

Always.

All right, come on,
Let's get out of this stuff.

All right, y'all,
we're headed up.

Recon's already taken fire,

and they've reported
seeing NVA regulars up there.

How many, sarge?

I don't know.
One squad, maybe two,

but I'll tell you what,

we've got to be
careful up there.

Intelligence says they're
in the valleys too.

They're getting ready
for a major push.

Then let's get up there, sarge,

and kick their butts
back to Hanoi.

Well, bless your heart, Taylor,
that's a point-man's enthusiasm.

Why don't you lead the way.

Baker, you got slack.

Johnson, cover the rear,
will you?

Keep your eyes open.
Let's do it.

[GRUNTS]

I'm okay.
Thanks, man.

It feels like we've been
through this movie before, huh?

Yeah, and it's getting old
in a hurry.

[TALKING QUIETLY]

[SCREAMS]

[GUNFIRE]

McNair! Ooh!

I got him!

Taylor!
Yo!

You see where I'm firing?

Yo!

Blooper!

[SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

Stay down,
stay down.

Keep cover!

We got 'em!

Horn, get the XO on the line.
Tell him we got two men down.

I want Dudley and McNair,

I want 'em in those ferns
over there.

We'll get them on the way back.

We're moving up 20 meters,

then hold our position through
an air strike-- Sergeant!

Yo!

I don't want
one single dink

slipping around
our flanks.

I want 'em all.

Oh, yeah.

...LT requests Tac Air
at Alpha Lima 3079. Over.

Roger, 26. Tac Air
at alpha lima 3079er.

[EXPLOSION]

That one shook
loose a filling.

Shook loose my brains.

[BOMBS DROPPING]

Hey...

Johnson, you okay?

I can't take
much more of this.

Relax, Johnson,

at least we're not
up there with recon.

Ain't nothing shaking

but the peas
in the pod.

Yeah, and they
wouldn't be shaking

if Mama hadn't
put wood in the stove.

[GUNFIRE IN DISTANCE]

[GRUNTS]

You all right?

Oh, God, what happened to him?

Boy lost his head, that's what.

That's not funny, soldier.

Well, excuse me, sir.

One of those
750-pounders

that zoomie
was dropping

blew up in a tree.

Piece sliced his head
right off.

Six other guys
took shrapnel too.

Charlie ought to leave us alone
to beat each other to death.

Come on, Earl,
let's get off this hill.

You got it.

Horn...

What are you
doing, Horn?

I'm not going,
Lieutenant.

I'm sorry.

I'm just not
doing it.

I haven't got time
for this, Horn.

Come on.

Well, then you'd
better move on out,

because I'm not going,
no matter what you say.

What's going on?

So stupid, sarge.

We've taken this hill twice,
and we've abandoned it twice.

For what?

Because those are orders, Horn--

For nothing!
You know that.

I'm not going to sacrifice
my life for nothing.

All right, now, Horn,
don't blow it here.

Now, listen to me,

if you're tired,
you need a break,

I can clear it with the LT.

I don't need a break.

I'm finished. Period.

I'm sorry, guys.

I just can't do
this anymore.

Horn, listen to me,
do you know what this means?

I'll take the consequences.

Get these men moving
now, sergeant. Come on!

All right. Come on.
Up the hill. Come on.

Horn...

where the hell
do you get off

walking out
on these guys, huh?

They've always been there
for you.

Always.

Now, come on.

You don't want to do this.

You don't want
to ruin your life, Horn,

and believe me,
this is gonna ruin your life.

I'll take the chance.

Get on down the hill.

We'll deal with this
back in Chu Lai.

What's this I hear

about some yellow-belly
refusing to fight?

This the coward?

You don't want to fight
anymore, boy?

Yeah, that's right.

Somebody ought to shoot you down
right here!

It's my man.

This is family, here.

Now, you get out of my house.

It's okay, sarge.
Let him.

At least I'll know
who did it...

and what it's for.

But if I die on this hill,

I won't know who did it,

and I sure as hell won't
know the reason why.

Let's get up the hill.
Come on, move it, move it!

That's you too, sergeant.

Straight to the top!

[SHOUTING IN VIETNAMESE]

Keep them on-line, sergeant!
On-line!

Aah!

Ow! Ow!

Taylor?
All right, Taylor,

get down out
of this mess.

I'll be all right,
sarge.

Not for a while,
you won't.

I can still fight!

Get on down
the hill, Taylor!

We'll pick you up
with the wounded later.

You done good.
You done good.

Watch yourselves!

Move! Move! Move!

Keep covered!

HORN RECITES: "I hate
That drum's discordant sound,

"Parading round
And round, and round

"To thoughtless youth
It pleasure yields

"And lures from cities
And from fields

"To sell their liberty
For charms

"Of tawdry lace
And glittering arms

"And when ambition's
Voice commands

"To march, and fight

And fall, in foreign lands"

Taylor!

A--Are you all right?

I'll be okay.

What's it like
up there?

It's bad.

I think Charlie's gonna try
to hold onto it this time.

How are the guys?

Our guys are fine.
A few others down.

That's too bad.

[MEN GROANING IN PAIN]

Damn!

See you later, Taylor.

What are you doing?

Horn!

Horn. Horn!

Look, Marcus...

I don't believe in this war.
I never did. I never will,

but I do believe
in helping my friends...

and I guess
that's worth fighting for.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ah!

Ruiz, cover me!

Go, Baker, go!

Ah!

Ah!

Hickory!

We got to get closer!

I know, I know.

I'll cover you, okay?

Ah! No way, man!
No way!

Okay, look,
sit tight.

They can't get
to us here.

Yeah, and now
we can't get out.

Baker, what's going on up there?

Bunker, sarge!

It ain't gonna work from here!

I'm gonna try
something else!

[SHOUTS]

[SCREAMS]

Horn!

Horn, get out of there!
Horn! Come on! Come on!

All right, come on!

[SOLDIERS WHOOPING]

Horn, where the hell
did you come from?

Good question.

Hey, guys,
I need some help.

Medic! Medic!

Come on, there.
Come on!

All right,
Ruiz, Baker,

go check the bunker,
there. Go on.

How's he doing?

He'll live, but we got
to get him out of here.

Yeah, but how bad is it?

His war's over,
that's for sure.

Horn, how come
you came back up here?

I knew you needed my help.

We took the hill, Horn.

We took it back
thanks to you, man.

Let's see if you can
hold on to it this time.

Yeah, third time's a charm.

We're digging
in up here. Over.

RADIO: Evacuate the area.

Colonel Downing's
coming for inspection.

All right,
let's get dug in here!

Forget it.

Sir?

I said forget it.

We're not digging in.
We're going back down the hill.

What?

Wait...this has got to be
somebody's idea of a joke.

I wish it was.

Saddle the men up.

The Colonel's
coming up the hill.

What, did he give
you any idea why?

You know better.

All right! Second platoon!
Form up here!

Come on, listen up.

I'm only gonna say this
one time.

We're headed back down the hill.

That's right.

Come on, Percell,
you lead the way.

Come on.

[ddd]

I don't suppose
you could--

Don't ask me
questions, Ruiz.

I ain't got
any answers.

Good job, soldier.

Good work, men.

Sir.

Lieutenant.

A job well done, men.

Colonel?

Yeah?

What is it, soldier?

Why do they keep having us
take this hill

and then giving it right back
to the enemy?

Soldier, I don't
think that you're--

Colonel, please!
Answer my question.

Objectives change.

When you don't have
the whole picture,

it's hard to understand.

Sir, you pinned medals
on my chest yesterday.

I think I'm willing
to give my life for my country,

but I've got to know
that it's got to matter!

Of course it matters.

A lot of men lost their lives
on this hill, sir.

One of my best buddies
got all shot up,

and we go

and give it right
back to the enemy.

It's as if it were
all for nothing!

I think you're out of line,
here, soldier.

Just remember, sir,

that our lives
mean something too.

Good afternoon...

sir!
