- It was your mirror.

- You must have taken a long look.

It was the longest look of my life.

I saw a broken-down piece of machinery.

Nothing but the buck, the bed

and the bottle for the rest of my life.

That's what I saw.

A hooker moving in

with the town virgin!

What an act!

How much did you score, honey?

How much did you tap at the hospital?

How much Angel Foam did you peddle?

Oh, you ask.

You ask the doctors

if I made a play for any one of them.

Ask them!

You were the only buyer

I had in this town...

and my last one.

You're coming with me,

or I talk to Mac myself.

Look, Griff.

I'm trying your side of the fence.

Is there a law against it?

Is there anything wrong with it?

Your face might fool

a lot of these people...

but not your body.

Your body's your only passport.

You're right.

I can renew a passport...

but I can't renew my body...

or my face or my health.

Oh, look, Griff.

I'm trying to change.

Please help me.

Give me a break.

So the old man said, "White swan...

if you pretend hard enough,

I will change you into a little boy. "

So the white swan

pretended hard enough...

and, all of a sudden,

he was changed into a little boy.

So the old man told me...

if I pretended hard enough,

I could play games with the little boy.

I pretended hard enough...

and, all of a sudden...

I was playing all kinds of games

with the little boy.

And you know who the little boy was?

Kip, first mate of the Jolly Roger.

And we ran

and we played on the grass.

I have legs! I have legs!

I have legs!

And who do you think we found

as we played on the grass?

The whole crewoffthe Jolly Roger.

Every little girl and every little boy

that pretended hard enough...

was playing on the grass

and having a whale of a time.

Barney?

This is for you.

Why so glum?

Well, it's, uh...

the first time you didn't take me

to Europe with you, Mr. Grant.

Quit griping, Barney. You got a dream job

going all over the world with him.

- How was it?

- Great.

This for real, Mr. Grant?

It's an authentic drinking cup

used by the Gauls.

Is everything ready

for tonight's party?

Yes, sir.

- Is the, uh, Eroica tape all set up?

- Yes, sir.

Thank you, Barney.

Griff, how about mixing us

a couple of drinks?

I can't wait.

This means...

"All things, by gentleness...

may be made smooth. "

And this is for

the gentle Miss Josephine.

Oh!

Merci beaucoup.

- And this is for Bunny.

- Oh!

- The prettiest child in Grantville.

- Is it that doll?

- The one we talked about.

- She'll treasure that all her life.

- A little touch from the Rhine.

- Danke schon.

Bitte schon.

And, Buff, something from England.

- A reminder of where you were born.

Samuel Fuller

Samuel Michael Fuller (August 12, 1912 – October 30, 1997) was an American screenwriter, novelist, and film director known for low-budget, understated genre movies with controversial themes, often made outside the conventional studio system. Fuller wrote his first screenplay for Hats Off in 1936, and made his directorial debut with the Western I Shot Jesse James (1949). He would continue to direct several other Westerns and war thrillers throughout the 1950s. Fuller shifted from Westerns and war thrillers in the 1960s with his low-budget thriller Shock Corridor in 1963, followed by the neo-noir The Naked Kiss (1964). He was inactive in filmmaking for most of the 1970s, before writing and directing the war epic The Big Red One (1980), and the experimental White Dog (1982), whose screenplay he co-wrote with Curtis Hanson. more…
