long battle, by his enemy's sword,

he gets to the

gates of heaven,

he looks through and he sees

former presidents, kings and queens,

his parents, seated

at this long table.

Saint Peter approaches,

introduces himself,

the general asks him,

" How do I get in?

How do I walk through those gates?"

Saint Peter says, "Well,

you have to spell a word. "

The general asks,

"What is the word?"

St. Peter says,

"The word is 'love. "'

The general spells it and St. Peter

welcomes him in.

About a year later, St. Peter

comes up to the general and says,

"I need you to watch

the gates for me today. "

A little while later, sure

enough, he sees a man approaching,

he walks toward the gate,

so he recognizes his enemy,

the man who

killed him.

They talk for a minute,

his enemy apologizes,

and then he asks,

"How do I get in?"

The general thinks for

just a second, he says,

"You have to

spell a word. "

So the enemy asks,

"What is the word?"

The general says

'Czechoslovakia. '

Let's go.

I thought you'd

be bigger.

But I guess that's

the way it is with legends.

Reality's always less.

Who did it?

What difference

does it make?

Who did it?

The United States

government owes me that much.

We're soldiers.

We follow orders.

Hey.

Stay.

What are

you doing?

Stay!!

What do you

think I'm doing?

Trying to find a short-term

answer to a long-term problem.

You make that

call, you're dead.

Everybody you've ever

known, loved or talked to is dead.

I just saved

your life!

Yes, but you just

ended yours.

Those two men you

just shot are Feds.

I need bolt cutters.

Do you have bolt cutters?

And something flammable.

I need your help.

Alright, douse them.

Hey, these guys, they shoot

first and ask questions later.

In 10 minutes, we're

gonna look just like that.

Give it here.

Okay.

Okay.

Bodies?

Burning.

Well, I guess

that ends that.

For your sake,

I hope that's true.

I'm going to

make a call now.

Make him wait.

It's not my life

we're playing with.

He's asleep.

You wanna be the one

that wakes him up?

And by the

way... Johnny!...

you still answer

to me as well.

Taking in a flight this evening, sir?

Why not?

Yes, sir.

I need to get

out up there.

It's New

Year's Eve.

Some of us have people we

wanted to see at midnight.

We could, uh, we

could give you a lift.

Maybe in

another life. Sir.

Let's go, Johnny.

It's not too deep.

I'm gonna need you

to take this thing out.

If I do this...

I'll do everything in my

power to wash your hands.

Okay now, clear that table.

Clear that table!

Oh!

Lay down.

Hey, hey wait,

wait, wait.

Once you get it out, it's easy,
