Five hours. Unbelievable.

Come back to bed, baby.

Can't sleep.

Don't you have surgery

tomorrow morning?

Will, what happened over there?

I don't really remember.

You know, it's like a dream.

Hazy dream.

Then tell me.

I wanna know.

Do you?

Wanna know

what a blast wound looks like?

What an OR in the desert smells like?

What really happens to them?

How they die?

You really wanna know?

You want us to come back

like nothing ever happened.

You don't want to get your hands dirty

with the details.

That's not fair at all.

Do you really think I don't care?

If you wanna tell me, then tell me.

And maybe you're right.

Maybe I don't wanna hear about

what happened to the rest of them.

But I would like to know

what happened to you.

Two tickets. Here you go.

There you go,

- Hi.

- Hey. How are you?

Good, thanks.

Two adults and one child for

Forever Lulu at 1:30.

All right.

Okay, That is $20,50,

Okay.

Out of $21. There you go.

I know you.

Bravo Company,

First of the 161st,

Hua,

Hua.

You wanna go in

and I'll be there in just a minute?

I'll go... I'll be in right after you. Okay.

Don't worry.

I checked for snipers a couple hours ago.

Jesus.

- Cute kid.

- Thanks.

One day he acts up

like you wouldn't believe

and then the next he won't let me

out of his sight.

So how you doing?

Okay.

I lost my best friend over there.

- God, I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

It's been pretty tough since...

F***.

They changed up my medication.

It makes me all weepy.

- Zoloft?

- Lexapro.

- Really? That makes me way too anxious.

- Really?

I had that problem with Risperdal.

- Vicodin?

- Every now and again.

But I was actually on Resperidone,

but then I got moved to Celexa.

Now I take Ambien for sleeping.

Ambien? Now come on.

Trazodone all the way.

Would you listen to us?

We sound like a couple of junkies.

You know,

sometimes I can't sleep at night.

- Yeah.

- So I flip it over to The History Channel.

I love The History Channel.

- You watch The History Channel?

- Yeah.

The other night, it was like 4:00 a.m.,

and they had this special

on D-day and Normandy, okay?

And it was like, about these small towns,

Caen and Bayeux,

and how they loved Americans

and they loved Allied soldiers.

And they have statues of Eisenhower

and plaques thanking the Americans.

I don't know, I just started thinking that...

I mean, what if like 10, 15 years from now,

we go back...

Do you think that they'll

have statues thanking us

and plaques and...

'Cause we saved them, we liberated them.

Right.

I don't know.

Yeah.

I don't know, either.

You know,

I work at this f***ing movie theater

and sell these stupid tickets

for these stupid movies.
