the side of his head.

In the head, no. I don't want

a purple heart in the head.

Joey Sims got

one in the head.

I'll bet he'll look better

when they're through with

him than you do now.

I don't want a purple heart

in the head.

Is Sergeant Halverson

in command now, Sergeant?

He knows what to do.

He always knows what to do.

- Shut up.

What did the lieutenant

do before the Army?

He was a businessman.

He worked in an office.

Well, I worked in an office,

but I was no businessman.

The whole Army's

made up of businessmen.

You kill me.

He'll be a businessman in 1956 while

we're fighting the Battle of Tibet.

I've got the facts down cold.

Put him on a nice hospital ship

and take him to a nice hospital

and give him a couple of nice

medals and take him home

and give him his walking papers

and he'll go back to business

while we're fighting the Battle of Tibet.

I've got the facts.

Maybe he'll die.

Nobody dies.

Nobody dies.

I've got to get word to the captain.

As soon as we land,

I've got to get word to him.

- Do you know what to do?

Course I know!

We've been briefed.

The farmhouse may be

pretty hard to find.

- It's on the map.

There's a road from

the beach that leads right past.

- Six miles is a long way.

What do they expect? A reception

committee with a dozen taxis?

That's the story.

How's it coming, Mac?

All right, I guess.

We'd better get him

to a doctor, though.

He ain't going to

be pretty any more.

Might not be alive

any more, either.

Bad, huh?

- I guess so.

Trying to talk all the time.

Can't you hear him?

I didn't hear anything.

- Not words.

Just talk.

- Is he comfortable, Mac?

He wouldn't know if he was

comfortable or not.

Tough ticket.

- He don't mind.

Nearly time.

Mac, you can pick us up later.

When it gets lighter, you'll see

a road running from the beach.

We'll be on that road.

Hoist tail! Hoist tail!

Hoist tail!

There'll be a honey

of a show on that beach.

A honey of a show.

Take them up 100 yards from

the beach and hit the dirt.

I've got to get word to the captain,

then I'll pick you up.

Let me get word to the captain.

Remember, 100 yards from

the beach and hit the dirt.

Doesn't matter where you are.

Don't care if it's a pig pen.

OK, Hal.

I was wrong, Eddie,

they did give you the job.

You know the lieutenant got wounded.
