101 You know, it wasn't your fault, Joe. You were just following orders. 102 Yeah. 103 I'm a good fucking marine. 104 That's why they gave me this detail. 105 Yeah. 106 I'm a good fucking marine. 107 - Joe! - What? 108 Goddamn you, Joe Enders! 109 Really. 110 It's all right. 111 Come on, Joe. I got you. 112 What the fuck? 113 I ain't that drunk, Yahzee. You cut that horseshit out. 114 What's your expected arrival to the village? Over. 115 Around 1500. Aerial Reconnaissance reports no movement, looks secure. 116 Request hot chow and mail if possible. Over. 117 I'm gonna mix my daddy's strawberries in this Swedish concoction called yoghurt. 118 God willing, America will develop the taste. 119 What about you, Charlie? What's life got in store for you after this mess? 120 Sheep. 121 Sheep? As in Chick's girlfriend, sheep? 122 Charlie's family owns the biggest flock in the Four Corners area. 123 No shit? 124 - You a rich man, Whitehorse? - We do OK. 125 Taxis. A whole stinking fleet of 'em. That's how I'm making my millions. 126 And then I'm going back to the motherland. 127 I'm gonna build myself a villa on the cliffs of Santorini. 128 Ah, Santorini, my friends - that's living. 129 Sounds nice. What about you, Zee? 130 Thinking about teaching. 131 Ah, teaching. Bring a little something back to the reservation? 132 Actually, more interested in bringing some of the reservation back to the world. 133 Hoping to teach college. American history. 134 Oh, that's just what we need. 135 Yahzee teaching college boys about Custer's scalping at Little Bighorn. 136 And what about Kit Carson, and what they did to the Navajo in the Long Walk? 137 You ever read about that, Chick? 138 Didn't think so. 139 How about you, Joe? 140 - What? - What are you doing after this mess? 141 It's gotta end sometime. 142 Dear Joe, we got great news today. 143 President Roosevelt announced the end of blackouts on Hawaii. 144 We thought the day would never come. 145 There's still a ten o'clock curfew, but it doesn't matter to me. 146 After a 12-hour shift I'm too tired to do anything but write letters. 147 There is a real sense that the war is going well, and could be over soon. 148 I think about you more and more. If you're alive or dead out there. 149 I check the mail every day, knowing there's going to be an answer. 150 Are you reading these, Joe? |
