A Walk in the Sun Page #7

getting over to the woods.

The planes will be here in a minute.

Noisy.

- Put out that butt.

Do you know, the lieutenant

never moved his hands?

Good devil never even moved.

Dropping sticks on our transport.

From the sound of the

explosions, they missed.

That was no miss.

No miss, at all.

We'd better sit tight here.

There may be a few

fighters around somewhere.

Don't want any fighters to

catch me in an open field.

- I don't want that either.

Wonder what's happening now.

Plenty. Plenty of plenty.

Must be a honey of

a show on that beach.

Wonder what it will be like

when we hit France, Mac.

I don't know. I've never seen France.

Bet it's just a long concrete

wall with a gun every yard.

What's happening down

there's worth seeing, too.

Bet they'll set the water

afire with oil, too.

Boy, when that day comes, I want

to be somewhere else, far, far away.

This is bad enough.

This ain't so bad. At least

you know where everything is.

You're here and

the bombs are out there.

Simple.

You're where you are

and the guys being killed are

where they are.

It's simple.

- Yeah, I guess you're right.

We've got a grandstand seat.

Yeah. Only trouble is

you can't see nothing.

That's the whole trouble with the

war, you never get to see nothing.

You fight them by ear.

Got to guess what's going on.

Got to guess unless you see.

Sarge, can I go take a look?

You stay where you are.

I want you here.

Good thing, dirt.

I see the planes, Mac.

Six of them.

- Is that all?

It's not many, is it?

Gee, you'd think they'd have a

couple of hundred around, up there.

Just goes to show you...

- Just goes to show you what?

Just goes to show you.

- Funny.

Maybe there's more coming.

No.

Just six of them.

I tell you what, Sarge, what say

I take the glasses and go over the

ridge and take a look at the water?

We ought to know what's going on.

We know what's going on, Mac.

There's no point in it.

No point in guessing.

We got to be getting along

to the platoon.

Sarge, you wouldn't go through

an open field with them planes

up there, would you?

I wouldn't do that.

No. I wouldn't, either.

They're out of range, now.

Probably gone after bigger game.

Suppose I took the glasses

and went over the ridge? Maybe

there's a new landing coming off.

We'd want to know if there was.

It stands to reason.

Go and take a look, Mac.

Go and take a look.

It's just for the record.

Get it off your mind.

I think it's a good idea.

- Don't hang around, though.

Those bombers may be back.

Here, take a good look.

What is it? What is it?

What do you mean?

Come back, McWilliams!

In a minute, Sarge!

Hurry Mac! Hurry!

Come back!

The leg. The right leg.
