# For to stay

0:00:280:00:32

# A little while

0:00:320:00:37

# But I'm coming back

0:00:370:00:41

# I'm coming back

0:00:410:00:46

# If it be 10,000 miles. #

0:00:460:00:54

OK. Line 'em up!

0:01:330:01:35

Hey.

0:01:500:01:52

Hey you.

0:01:520:01:53

Get that pooch out of here. Do you want to get him killed?

0:01:530:01:58

All right, all right, come on. Quit stalling.

0:02:000:02:04

So long, Arab.

0:02:040:02:06

So long, baby.

0:02:060:02:07

All right, all right. You heard the lieutenant.

0:02:080:02:12

What's the matter with the dog, huh?

0:02:120:02:14

You poor little fella. He's going to freeze out there.

0:02:180:02:22

Goodbye, Arab.

0:02:250:02:28

Why, thanks.

0:02:320:02:34

What do you want me to do...?

0:02:340:02:36

DOG WHIMPERS

0:02:380:02:41

Correspondent, huh? You'll want to get up to the front, don't you?

0:02:490:02:54

Well, get in.

0:02:540:02:56

Oh, no. Come on, come on, get in. Make it snappy.

0:02:560:02:59

Make room for this guy.

0:02:590:03:00

He ain't a bad guy, is he?

0:03:050:03:08

All right, let's get moving.

0:03:140:03:16

Hey, Cookie. What are you going to call that perp? Betty Gordon?

0:03:490:03:53

Lay off the Gorky, he's my territory.

0:03:550:03:57

-Who's Betty Gordon?

-The kid's been waiting for a letter from her ever since we left the States.

0:04:000:04:05

-Guess you're getting off at the first air base, ain't ya, pops?

-Why?

-Correspondent, ain't ya?

0:04:080:04:14

The flyers are the guys you guys always write about. The Hollywood heroes.

0:04:140:04:19

We're just the mugs along for the ride, that's all.

0:04:190:04:22

Just for the ride.

0:04:220:04:23

-Ask Wing, he'll tell ya.

-Yeah.

0:04:230:04:26

Just one plane and you're all dead ducks.

0:04:260:04:29

Just one plane and it's...

0:04:290:04:31

All right, men. Unload.

0:04:440:04:47

-How far up are you going, Mr, er...?

-Pyle. End of the line, if it's all right with you?

0:04:530:05:00

Sure.

0:05:000:05:01

Pyle. You say Pyle? Say, aren't you the fella that rights that column about weekend trips or something?

0:05:010:05:08

Mostly about "something".

0:05:080:05:10

That's a pretty good-looking outfit you've got.

0:05:100:05:13

Well, we're not an outfit yet.

0:05:130:05:15

-Maybe by this time tomorrow we will be.

-Load 'em up!

0:05:150:05:19

All right. Come on, men.

0:05:190:05:20

On the truck. Load up.

0:05:200:05:22

Come on. On the double.

0:05:220:05:24

Come to think of it, you know, my old man reads your column.

0:05:260:05:29

He thinks it's great.

0:05:290:05:31

Well, I'll be darned.

0:05:310:05:33

All right, men. Let's get up.

0:05:340:05:36

Hey, fellas. Get a load of this! Artie Shaw!

JAZZ MUSIC PLAYS

0:06:020:06:04

So in check. Out of this world.

0:06:250:06:29

Gee whizz, Murph. I wish you weren't so warm.

0:06:390:06:43

Sort of cold out here in the open.

0:06:430:06:46

I'm cutting my legs off.

0:06:460:06:48

No, jeez, you don't have to do that.

0:06:480:06:50

I hear we're getting in the real business tomorrow.

0:06:500:06:54

Well, as far as I'm concerned, they can deal me out.

0:06:540:06:58

The infantry ain't so worse.

0:06:580:07:00

Look, this is a modern war, ain't it?

0:07:000:07:03

And I'm a modern guy, and the modern age is up in the air.

0:07:030:07:06

That's where I belong, not down here.

0:07:060:07:10

They only wussed you out cos you're too big. It ain't your fault.

0:07:100:07:14

I'll cut my legs off!

0:07:140:07:15

If you had to sneak something out the village, why didn't you bring something in skirts?

0:07:150:07:20

-I'm not...

-Shhh!

0:07:200:07:22

Don't interrupt the music.

0:07:220:07:25

Listen.

Announcing Germany's latest hit,

0:09:210:09:23

with lyrics written especially for my handsome American friends.

0:09:230:09:28

# Light for me a cigarette

0:09:280:09:33

# In that small cafe where we met

0:09:330:09:39

# Let me feel your fingertips

0:09:390:09:44

# Linda, Linda

0:09:440:09:46

# On my lips

0:09:460:09:50

# Where true lovers used to be

0:09:500:09:53

# Are there echoes

0:09:540:09:57

# Waiting for me?

0:09:570:10:00

# And do you

0:10:000:10:02

# Still wait for me, too?

0:10:020:10:08

# As Linda, my love

0:10:080:10:15

# I wait for you. #

0:10:150:10:21

There's a piece of furniture... I'd love to push around.

0:10:230:10:28

-Turn that radio off!

-It was Nazi music, now it's mine.

0:10:280:10:32

Our first German prisoner.

0:10:320:10:34

Hey, Pop!

0:10:430:10:44

Why wasn't you born a beautiful dame?

0:10:460:10:50

-Or even an ugly one?

-Why don't you guys pipe down?

0:10:500:10:52

All right, all right!

0:10:520:10:55

Goodnight, boys.

0:10:580:11:00

Tonight I dream in Technicolor.

0:11:000:11:04

Hey, how much further we got to go?

0:12:000:12:03

About 20 miles.

0:12:030:12:05

-How far?

-20 miles. Then you get out and walk another 10.

0:12:050:12:11

You know, to get the stiffness out of you.

0:12:110:12:13

Where are we going, China?

0:12:130:12:15

REPETITIVE EXPLOSIONS

0:12:170:12:19

Hey, that's ours. 105s. There. 88.

0:12:190:12:23

I thought you said 20 miles.

0:12:590:13:01

That's what I said. 20 miles.

0:13:010:13:03

Plane!

GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONS

0:13:080:13:11

I didn't even see it.

0:13:240:13:26

-Hey, what did I tell you guys about the air corps?

-They stink!

0:13:350:13:39

-Look at them scram!

-yellow bellies!

0:13:390:13:41

All right, men. In the truck.

0:14:000:14:02

Come on, make it snappy. The medics will take care of him.

0:14:020:14:05

Come on, come on. On the double.

0:14:050:14:07

First death's always the worst.

0:14:140:14:16

I suppose so.

0:14:160:14:18

On the double, men. Let's get in.

0:14:190:14:21

I guess he won't ever get a letter from that Betty Gordon dame now.

0:14:590:15:02

That makes him even. She won't get no more from him neither.

0:15:020:15:06

DOG CRIES

0:15:070:15:11

What's Gorky's last name?

0:15:200:15:22

Henderson.

0:15:220:15:24

Well, Mr Pyle, this is the end of the line.

0:15:460:15:49

We're liable to run into trouble from here on.

0:15:490:15:52

A couple of jeeps going back.

0:15:530:15:57

Mind if I, er, go all the way?

0:15:570:16:00

Well, it's your funeral.

0:16:000:16:02

Right. Follow me, men.

0:16:060:16:07

-Is this trip necessary?

-Yes.

0:16:100:16:12

I could be in Tulsa now.

0:16:120:16:14

Yeah, we're getting amphibious.

0:17:090:17:11

All right, men. Fall out. Fall out.

0:17:400:17:43

Hey! Where's the little guy?

0:17:510:17:54

-Pops?

-What do you mean Pops? Ernie.

0:17:540:17:59

Ernie's a little way back.

0:17:590:18:01

He's over 38, he don't need to be here.

0:18:050:18:08

Be here?! He can even go home!

0:18:080:18:10

Fall in!

0:18:240:18:25

Hey, how about my getting my name in the paper? Harry Fletcher of Estherville, Ohio.

0:19:160:19:20

-What'll I say?

-Oh, anything.

0:19:200:19:22

Just so the folks back home see my name in the paper.

0:19:220:19:25

Hey, Ernie.

0:19:250:19:27

Tell Cleveland Joe McClusky's winning the war.

0:19:270:19:30

Single-handed.

0:19:300:19:31

'Winning the war single-handed.

0:19:370:19:40

'Joe McClusky, who mixed sodas in the corner drugstore

0:19:400:19:46

'and Harry Fletcher who just hung out his law shingle.

0:19:460:19:50

'Danny Goodman who checked your oil in the summer and studied medicine in the fall.

0:19:500:19:55

'And here they are with guns in their hands, facing a deadly enemy in a strange and far away land.'

0:19:550:20:02

'This was their baptism of fire.'

'Buzzing, afraid.

'Each facing the worst moment of his life - alone.'

0:20:330:20:37

'It was a battle without let-up.

0:20:400:20:42

'And it was going against us.'

0:20:420:20:45

The only thing between us and them is borders.

0:20:450:20:49

Not many men. It's a lucky thing...

0:20:490:20:53

Trouble to Walker, over.

0:20:530:20:55

Can't seem to reach Walker.

PHONE RINGS

0:21:010:21:02

First Battalion.

0:21:040:21:06

Yes, sir.

0:21:060:21:08

I see.

0:21:080:21:10

Colonel Hann isn't back from reconnaissance yet.

0:21:100:21:13

-Who is it, Ralph?

-Captain Horton, Sir.

0:21:130:21:15

Reporting four of his mortars knocked out.

0:21:150:21:17

He's pretty badly shot up.

0:21:170:21:19

Tell him to pull back to hill 148 and dig in.

0:21:210:21:24

Right, sir.

0:21:240:21:26

D Company. Hello.

0:21:270:21:29

Hello.

0:21:290:21:32

D Company. Hello.

0:21:320:21:34

Hello.

0:21:340:21:36

They don't answer.

0:21:380:21:40

-Keep trying.

-Right, Sir.

0:21:430:21:44

Hello?

0:21:480:21:49

They're pouring more and more strength through the pass.

0:21:490:21:53

Yeah, and despite all the fairy stories,

0:21:550:21:58

one good green man can't beat a seasoned and crafty veteran.

0:21:580:22:03

Especially when the veteran's got more and better guns, tanks, planes.

0:22:030:22:10

One thing we can do is throw in Vincent's tank.

0:22:110:22:14

Vincent's through. They knocked him out when they came through the pass.

0:22:140:22:19

There it is.

0:22:190:22:21

All we got in front of us is Roberts' and Walker's outfits.

0:22:210:22:26

Little more than a company.

0:22:260:22:27

There is some hot coffee and beans on the fire, Sir.

0:22:270:22:30

No, thanks.

0:22:300:22:32

-I think I could use some.

-Me too.

0:22:320:22:35

D company. Hello.

0:22:350:22:38

Hello?

0:22:380:22:39

How's it going, Walker?

0:23:040:23:06

We're holding out OK, sir, but the phone went dead.

0:23:060:23:11

Captain Roberts sent me up to see if there was...

0:23:110:23:14

if there was any change in plans or what.

0:23:140:23:17

No. No change yet.

0:23:220:23:24

Better stick around for a while.

0:23:240:23:26

-Lieutenant Walker.

0:25:260:25:29

-Got to see the lieutenant.

-Here I am.

0:25:290:25:31

Never saw anything like it in my life.

0:25:310:25:33

Never saw anything like it in my life, Sir.

0:25:330:25:36

-Never...

-Take it easy. Take it easy, boy.

0:25:360:25:40

There were heavy tanks. Over-ran our position.

0:25:410:25:46

Point-blank. Point-blank, Sir.

0:25:460:25:49

I had to get out.

0:25:490:25:51

I got some of the men behind the hill.

0:25:520:25:55

Did the best I could, Sir. Did the best I could!

0:25:550:25:58

Lears.

0:25:580:26:01

Burn the papers.

0:26:010:26:04

This is the first time I ever had to

0:26:040:26:07

pull any outfit out of anywhere.

0:26:070:26:10

Wonder when we're going to start winning this war.

0:26:100:26:13

Notify the companies we're pulling out.

0:26:130:26:15

-Save what we can for another day.

-All right, men. On your feet.

0:26:150:26:18

YELLS: All right, men! On your feet!

American boys, beaten.

0:26:550:26:57

Beaten badly.

0:26:570:27:00

One of the few times in our history.

0:27:000:27:03

It was a bitter and humiliating experience.

0:27:030:27:06

And Joe McCluskey was wondering

0:27:070:27:11

what the folks back home in Cleveland

0:27:110:27:13

were thinking of him now.

TYPEWRITER CLICKING

0:27:220:27:25

As we looked back on that first defeat,

0:27:250:27:28

and the bloody victories which followed,

0:27:280:27:31

we realised that only battle experience

0:27:310:27:35

can make a combat soldier.

0:27:350:27:37

Killing is a rough business.

0:27:410:27:44

Men live rough and talk rough.

-'Timmy O'Brien, 1918...

-Hi, Ernie.

0:27:500:27:53

'Thanks for putting my name in the paper.

0:27:530:27:56

-'I dreamed I got a commission.

-Selling what?

-He is my buddy.

0:27:560:27:59

'E-A-L-B-R-I-G-H-T.

0:27:590:28:01

'I was a shoe clerk, way across in Georgia.

0:28:010:28:03

'Best outfit in the whole army.'

0:28:030:28:06

On a dull day, you can always get a fight in the army by arguing

0:28:080:28:11

which is the best outfit.

0:28:110:28:14

In a year, I'd been to a lot of places

0:28:140:28:17

and learned to love a lot of men.

0:28:170:28:19

But I always reserved one special place in my heart

0:28:190:28:22

for the boys that I'd started with.

0:28:220:28:25

Everybody else had a company and I felt I had one, too.

0:28:250:28:29

Company C, 18th Infantry.

0:28:290:28:32

I hadn't seen them in a long time

0:28:320:28:34

and now I set out to find them again.

0:28:340:28:36

They'd been through a lot by now.

0:28:360:28:39

The conquest of Sicily, the murderous landings at Salerno.

0:28:390:28:43

Now they were part of the force

0:28:430:28:45

hammering down the long, hard road to Rome.

0:28:450:28:47

Hey, Dondaro. What town do we take today?

0:28:520:28:55

-San Raviolio.

-Didn't we take that yesterday?

0:28:550:28:58

Nah, that was San Something-else-io.

0:28:580:29:01

And I was wondering about Wingless Murphy,

0:29:040:29:08

Sergeant Warnicki, Lieutenant Bill Walker

0:29:080:29:11

and a funny little mutt named Aaron.

0:29:110:29:14

All right, men. Fall out.

0:29:140:29:16

0:29:160:29:18

HARMONICA PLAYS

0:29:250:29:27

When this war's over, I'm going to buy me a map

0:29:270:29:30

and find out where I've been.

0:29:300:29:31

Mail call!

0:29:430:29:45

0:29:450:29:47

-Hugh!

-Yeah!

-Lopez!

-Yeah!

0:29:580:30:00

-Warnicki!

-Dondaro!

0:30:000:30:02

Woo-hoo! I'm a father!

0:30:020:30:07

Warnicki.

0:30:070:30:08

Warnicki!

0:30:080:30:10

That's me.

0:30:100:30:11

-Anything for Captain Walker?

-Come on, Sarge!

0:30:110:30:14

Sergeant! Anything there for Captain Walker?

0:30:140:30:17

Sorry, Captain. Nothing for you. Blair!

0:30:170:30:20

Well, let's get the rest of the stuff going.

0:30:200:30:23

Ain't she pretty?

0:30:360:30:38

Hey, what's this?

0:30:380:30:41

Your insurance form. What's the matter with you?

0:30:410:30:43

-You forgot to put in a beneficiary's name.

-What's that?

0:30:430:30:46

Anybody whose name you get down there gets the 10,000 simolians.

0:30:460:30:50

-You mean anybody's name who I put down?

-Yeah.

0:30:500:30:52

You better put it down before the next shindig, bub,

0:30:520:30:55

or there'll be no dough. Stick your old lady's name down, you're OK.

0:30:550:30:59

I ain't got no old lady.

0:31:000:31:01

Well, your old man, then.

0:31:010:31:03

Ain't you got no relatives?

0:31:040:31:07

Well, stick anybody's name down.

0:31:070:31:10

-You don't want all that wough go to daste. Er, dagh go to wouste.

-What?

0:31:100:31:13

I said you don't want to let all that dough go to waste.

0:31:130:31:17

Hey, Sarge. What do you know?

0:31:210:31:23

Yesterday, I ain't worth a flat nickel.

0:31:230:31:25

Today, I can throw 10,000 bucks away just like that.

0:31:250:31:29

-What have you got in the package? Something to eat?

-I don't know.

0:31:320:31:35

Open it! How are you going to find out if you don't open it?

0:31:350:31:38

An idea.

0:31:380:31:39

It's from the old lady!

0:31:570:32:00

Look what she's done.

0:32:000:32:02

She had the kid's voice put on a record.

0:32:020:32:04

Junior's voice. He couldn't even say "Mamma!" when I left home.

0:32:040:32:09

Gee whiz! Let's listen to it.

0:32:090:32:12

Ah, who's got a phonograph around here?

0:32:120:32:14

-Maybe they got one in the next town?

-Yeah!

0:32:140:32:16

What are we waiting for? Let's get going.

0:32:160:32:20

Why don't you look where you're going?

0:32:220:32:24

Get out of that jeep and I'll beat your brains out.

0:32:240:32:27

Who are you mad at?

0:32:270:32:29

-How are you, Warnicki?

-Why, it's Ernie! Hey, fellas!

0:32:290:32:32

It's the little guy!

0:32:320:32:33

-How you doing?

-How you been, all right?

-Nice to see you, Ernie!

0:32:330:32:37

Good to have you back, Ernie.

0:32:380:32:41

-What's been keeping you?

-Oh, I've been...

0:32:410:32:43

We've been saving sugar for you, Ernie.

0:32:430:32:47

At last.

0:32:470:32:48

Now I can write to the old man and they can relax.

0:32:480:32:51

Well, here we go again, Ernie.

0:32:510:32:53

You know every time you show up, there's a big battle?

0:32:530:32:55

Last time it was Tunisia. You better check your dog-tags, fellas.

0:32:550:32:59

I go around starting wars. Got to make a living somehow.

0:32:590:33:02

-Got to have something to write about.

-Know something else?

0:33:020:33:05

-What?

-My old man says I look like you.

0:33:050:33:10

Good to see you, boys.

0:33:100:33:12

All right, men! We're moving off!

0:33:120:33:14

Ernie, how about borrowing your finger-nail clippers?

0:33:140:33:18

-How are you, Bill?

-Hello, Ernie.

0:33:180:33:19

See you're going up in the world.

0:33:190:33:21

-Oh, these?

-Congratulations.

-Thanks.

0:33:210:33:23

It's because I survived longer than the other Louis, I guess.

0:33:230:33:27

-All right, Sergeant. Let's get out of here.

-All right, men. Follow me.

0:33:270:33:31

-Hiya, Wingless.

-Hi, Ernie.

0:33:330:33:35

How's the acorn?

0:33:350:33:37

-Afraid the buddy system's got me.

-Me too.

0:33:370:33:39

Well, you've got an outfit now.

0:33:410:33:43

You bet your life we got an outfit.

0:33:430:33:45

Pretty tough.

0:33:450:33:46

They are tough. They're killers.

0:33:460:33:50

The red and white is for very good conduct.

0:49:230:49:26

The real pretty one over here with all the colours is for being in this theatre of operations.

0:49:260:49:29

Tell me, Dondaro, what's your power over women?

I don't like it. It's too quiet.

0:59:270:59:29

-Maybe they've pulled back all the way to Rome.

-Uh-ah.

0:59:290:59:33

At this rate, we'll be in Rome in three days.

All right, men. Fall out.

Look at that old monastery up there. So peaceful.

1:00:121:00:16

You'd never think there was a war within 1,000 miles of it.

1:00:181:00:21

Or 1,000 years.

1:00:211:00:23

Maybe you're right about the Krauts pulling all the way back to Rome.

1:00:241:00:29

I don't get it, though. If they wanted to slug it out here, they could make it plenty tough.

Hello, Keith. It's Walker.

1:01:021:01:06

-You know that building up on top of the mountain?

-The monastery?

1:01:061:01:09

You can call it that if you want to but I call it in military terms an observation post.

1:01:091:01:14

If you don't want to get us killed, give it the business.

1:01:141:01:17

I can't. Got an order about it. Religious shrine.

1:01:171:01:20

Does that sound like religion to you?

1:01:241:01:26

Medic!

1:01:371:01:40

All right, men. Let's go.

1:02:031:02:05

We lost three.

1:02:401:02:42

-I suppose this could be deeper.

-Yeah. It kind of looks like we're going to need a permanent hole here.

1:03:091:03:14

THUD! Oh!

1:03:151:03:18

-Patrol, patrol, patrol.

-One more patrol and I'll go nuts!

Personally, I'd feel a lot healthier if that monastery wasn't looking down my throat.

Michaelson got it in the arm,

1:05:041:05:07

but I got him back OK.

1:05:071:05:10

OK, Sergeant. You'd better go get some chow.

You take over Josephs' platoon.
