three shells and take off.

Maybe they quit?

Maybe they're through.

We will see.

Wait.

How are you colonel?

How you feelin' sir?

Fire!

C'mon, fire.

Let's see... 3 shells.

3 times 3 is 9.

9, that's my lucky number.

Oh yeah? How about mine?

Your number rides up to 9 too.

We're safe as a church.

Do you see Villa over there... over there,

man, his number runs up to 5.

He doesn't have a chance.

But don't you tell him.

Don't worry, I won't.

This was a breeze.

Meredith, Maslow,

take a run for it!

Come on lieutenant, it's your turn!

Come on! Come on over!

Riordan, Penelli, Peters.

Take off!

Taylor,

Villa, take off.

They've got him!

They've got him!

Lieutenant they got him,

they got him lieutenant!

Get in.

Get that jeep going!

Hold on colonel. It's

gonna be a rocky road.

Get this going!

Stop it! Stop it! Back it up!

Come on! Back it up!

- I can't lieutenant!

- Push pumping the gas, you gotta flood it!

C'mon Zwickley, let me have it!

Get out of there!

Man get down, they're

coming in three!

Not without colonel, I won't.

Head still flat and you

really fix us Zwickley!

Shut up, Montana.

Come on, help me push it.

Get in there endorsing her thirst.

- Come on!

- No, you can't risk it!

We can't risk loosing

that jeep. Come on!

On the double. Let's go.

Spread-out up there!

Next time lieutenant,

I think I'll take the train.

Hold it!

Hold it!

What's wrong?

It's mine.

There.

Take it easy. Can't panic the men.

We can't go on lieutenant.

We got to go back.

Less then an hour, we'll be inside our

own lines. Hang on to yourself.

But it's mine lieutenant... it's mine...

Mine.

Mines.

It's mines! It's mines! You got to...

Lewis! Stop!

You got to step back

behind your backs...

All right men, listen to me.

Don't panic. Stay loose. Don't run.

We're gonna move slow,

we're gonna get out of here.

Bury him.

Don't look at me, I won't do it.

Do what?

I haven't said anything yet.

You wanna give me Lewis's bed,

don't you? Well, I don't want the job.

I don't want my job either, but...!

Right now, I've got only 17 men.

14. Count 'em.

I'm one man.

Can't take care all of them.

Getting into the fight,...

I can only reach 4 or 5.

I need your help Montana.

I can't do it.

Just for an hour.

We'll get through these

woods and get to the hill.

If I go to work for you, who's gonna

take care of the colonel? Zwickley?

The colonel! For the last four hours

you've been talking about the colonel!

The colonel does this and

the colonel does that!

And when the colonel washes,

who's gonna wipe the colonel's...

I'm not in your army and

you are not in mine.

It's all right sir. It's all right!
