Weinstein.
Fuller.
Feel lucky today?
l guess he ain't superstitious.
Three on a light, it's bad luck.
Counting me, that makes four.
So what does that mean?
Dear Mr. Smith,
My father passed away on January 15th.
about the war with us kids,
and l know talking to you was a comfort.
Thank you.
He asked me to let you know
when he passed,
and to tell you next time
he wants more than three rounds.
He said you would understand.
to your old unit.
That don't happen much anymore.
You want me to mail that?
That to your girl back home?
lt was 1943 when l went to war.
l was almost 19.
l've forgotten.
Others l'd rather forget.
l suppose there still isn't a day
that l don't think about
some of those guys
the friends l knew and lost.
You come back to us, son.
Don't you dare get yourself killed.
l'll come back, Ma.
You be good, pumpkin.
with so much work, Pa.
This war--
Son, l know.
We'll be fine.
You're a good son.
Godspeed.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Angelo Benedetto?
l see you are before this court
once again,
this time charged with a number
of serious offenses.
Your Honor,
not all of those were my fault.
l admit l made some mistakes--
How's that?
My friends, they would give me
stuff to pawn for them,
but l didn't know it was stolen.
Honest, Your Honor.
And the robbery was just a mistake, too?
You realize this could
land you in prison for five years.
Your Honor, the defendant
is completely aware
of the seriousness of the charges,
but he was completely unaware
that a robbery was even taking place.
Yeah, l know.
He claims they pushed him into the car.
Now, that's a pretty tall tale,
wouldn't you say, counselor?
Well, yes, Your Honor,
but Mr. Benedetto insists that it's the truth.
He does, however, recognize
how this might appear to the court.
Your Honor, if l may,
l'd like to make a suggestion
that may save the court
the unnecessary nuisance of a trial.
We would proffer, in lieu of a dismissal,
that Mr. Benedetto seeks service
in the United States Armed Forces.
What the hell are you doing?
Look, kid, with your record,
you're 4F. They can't take you.
You're going to be off scot-free.
Trust me.
So, Mr. Benedetto,
you'd be willing to go into the military?
Yes, Your Honor.
Very well.
As a result of the recent changes
in the draft code,
which now authorizes me to do so,
l hereby accept counsel's motion.
You're ordered to report
where you will be immediately inducted
into the nation's armed services.
that Mr. Benedetto's draft classification
be changed from 4F to 1A,
removing any obstructions
to a successful and speedy enlistment.
Good luck, Mr. Benedetto.
Next case.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
What is he saying?
lt's a technicality.
- What does that mean?
- l'll talk to you later.
Just tell me what it means.
Go ahead.

Hey, Joe, the car runs great.
See you next week.

One dollar, two bits.
Hey, take this, you little Kraut.
Go discuss that with your Fhrer, huh?
l am not a Kraut. l am an American.
l'm the whistler.
Look, l know l haven't a chance.
l know that l can't live.
l can tell the way
And you, too.
Why don't you tell me the truth?
Why don't you?
l thought you said you were
going to try to get a transfer.
You have a family now.
Hey, l know,
but this is war.
There's no way l can get out
l was just lucky to get a three-day pass
to come home to see you.
But why the infantry?
one of the first guys sent home
when this thing's all over.
There's nothing l can do.
l got to do my part.
What am l going to do without you?
And what about the baby?
Baby, it's going to be okay.
Come on.

Thanks for the lift, Charlie.
