I'll give you one more month

in this life...

if you give me one month

in that one.

Used to?

All I could think about

after that was getting out.

I was gonna take care

of myself, if I made it...

It was war, Eddie.

I never stopped

thinking about it...

my whole life...

these dreams...

Every soldier has dreams.

We didn't have to destroy

the whole place.

What did you see?

In those dreams?

Hey, Eddie, what you doing?

Burn the whole place down!

Fire in the hole!
