Him and [ were the last two left,
out of the original.
And when you were shelled, how did you feel?
[ don't know. [ just...
After Norman got hurt, killed, why...
[ was all right
when we were moving up, or attacked or anything like that.
And when we'd get pinned down, [ start thinking about him laying back there.
[ believe in your profession it's called nostalgia.
[psychologist] [n other words, homesickness?
- Yes, sir. -[psychologist] Mmm-hmm.
[t was induced, very shortly before the war.
[ received a picture of my sweetheart.
[psychologist] Yes.
[man sniffs]
['m sorry, [ can't continue.
[psychologist] That's all right.
Well, when [ was in combat, Mindanao...
- [psychologist] Can you speak louder? -Yes.
[psychologist] [ have trouble hearing you.
Uh, during that time...
[ got word that my brother,
he was killed in Guadalcanal.
- [psychologist] What is your name? -Ivan Bibic, sir.
- [psychologist] You feeling okay, Ivan? -Yeah.
What are you thinking about right now?
Home, sir. Going home.
[sighs]
[church bells chime]
So, how many medals did they give you?
Just one.
[ thought your chest would be all covered with them.
Did you kill all the Japs or leave some?
- Uh, we got most of 'em. -Good.
Course, uh...
[f ['d been there, it wouldn't take so long.
[ heard they had you in one of their camps.
Why didn't you get away?
[chuckles softly]
Was it rough?
Well, thank God, you survived.
You were gone so long, [ was afraid you were dead.
[ thought ['d have to make some new babies.
Oh.
[ saved your old Harley for you.
- No. -Yeah.
[It's under a tarp at the back of the barn.
Ya-hoo!

Maria?
But you don't understand the movie, Al.
She died because she needed his love, do you know what [ mean?
Al, please don't...
- Don't go too far. -[Al] Baby just let me put my hand there.
[Maria] Al... [gasps]
- [Al] Come on, why not? -[Maria] Please...

[Maria] Al, just listen. Could you love me like that?
Like what?
[Maria sighs] Like the movie.
Through life and all the way into death.
Of course, of course, baby. Why do you even ask me that?
Now, come on, just this once.
[Maria] Oh, please, Al.

Well,

Good night.
Ivan!

Al, you know, uh...
When l came with my mother, from Yugoslavia, you know, when l was little,
Ivan was the very, very first person l met, you know.
You can't believe the wonderful times we used to have.
[Al] Good to have you back.
So, this was your guy before the war, huh?
- No. -No, it was a long time ago.
[Maria] Oh, yeah. l was just a girl, you know.

She's fine. She's okay. She's got a boyfriend.
He's a big cheese, a captain.
[Ivan's father] Like l always told you,
she's too good for you.
Like her mother.
[sighs] My God...
What eyes her mother had.
Like they could turn you inside out
and check out the good from the bad.
You know every time l looked into those eyes,
l felt pain.
Like she could see everything lousy I’d ever done in my life.
Ah. [sighs] It's...

- To Maria. -[shot glasses clink]
[woman] Yoo-hoo!
Now that's what l call a real woman.
Mrs. Wynic. Yoo-hoo!

Oh, gosh. I’ll be back.
Ooh, God.
Ivan, why don't you come home with me
- and help me bring over some special treats? -It's okay.
Oh, no, no, no, go.
Oh, no, you darling boy.
Now, listen, you tell me what he was like.
Tell me the truth. General McArthur, was he a nice man?
I'm so excited. l can't believe you're here.
- Nice house. -[Mrs. Wynic] Thank you.
Uh, can l help you?
They tell me the oriental women are different.
You know what l mean?
Oh. [giggles]
Oh, don't tell me. You'll make me blush.
You're such a man now.
Huh? A hero. [giggles]
- Sorry. -Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm helpless.
The oriental women,
- they were so small, so... -Oh, no.
[Ivan] Unhealthy
No. [giggles]
- Oh, dear. -Soldier, do you like to dance?
Oh, my God, l mean...
Yee-haw.
- What are you doing? [squeals] -Yee-haw!
Want to dance? Huh?

with everybody in town listening in?
[woman] l think so. l do indeed.
You got eight yeses, three maybe's, four no's
A penny for your thoughts.
You seem far away.
Mmm-hmm.
l love a mystery. Hmm?
What is it?
Do you know the sound of a head being cut off?
It's just a snap. It's just a snap like you break a match.
That's what the Japs used to do if they caught you trying something in camp. No warning.
One night it was raining, rained all the time.
It was like having a kettle boiling in the room.
It was so wet, you pick your finger...
Pick your mold off between your fingers
l heard the screaming
and they had a guy pinned down for maybe ten seconds,
screaming like it was 100 years.
And then through the air, the whoosh of the sword
and then a crack
and a muffled plop like a...
Like a ripe melon falling in the mud.
And then nothing but the rain.
[chuckles]
And I'm lying on my mat in the mud
and l think l hear something, and l look and l see it's a rat.
And, uh, l think it's a female,
pregnant, 'cause it's dragging its feet
and leaving a trail of blood.
And then as it passes me, l see that it's...
It's fur has got blood on it. Just it's fur and it's...
It's belly is full and...
it's dragging its feet.
And l knew what it had for dinner.
After that l...
After that l, uh...
l married Maria.
Nah, in my mind, see.
Because then l didn't have to...
[voice breaking] l didn't have to see it anymore.
And everything l looked at was Maria.
Everywhere l looked.
All day l worked for her.
All night l made love to her.
In your dream?
Yeah, in my dream.

That was really something.
A virgin? Hot diggity dog.
- Hard to believe. -Please.
What, are you kidding?
You hardly ever come across this kind of thing.
A lot of girls make the claim,
but not that many can deliver the goods.
Look...
Come with me.
l never asked nobody this.
It's just been me and Dave.
- Dave? -My dog.
Come on. We'll make a great team.
l can sing,
you can wash my socks, whatever. [chuckles]
You're a class act all the way.
Squeaky clean, no mileage.
Leave me now.
Hey, I'm asking you.
I'm married.
Listen, sweetie,
the guy's too dumb to screw his own wife, she might as well take off.
Where you off to? Packing?
Eh, guess you want to shed a few tears, whatever.
Sure took it like a trooper, baby.
Hey, in there.
Hey.
Go away.
- Don't you want to come with me? -No.
What me, Clarence Butts?
Go away!
[scoffs]
Some kind of woman.
l swear, l ain't never met no kind of woman who wasn't crazy.
You hear me?
[knocks]
- You're crazy. -Get out of here!
Crazy woman!
That girl up there's got bats in her belfry.
You're all crazy!
[door slamming]
[man] Come on, come on!
You want the good-conduct medal?
The girls are ready to go!
Let me just finish this.
Yeah!
[car horn honking]
[laughing]
Hey, Kathy, what are you doing here?
l thought you wanted me to drop dead twice?
What am l supposed to do on the Fourth of July, sell a flag?
Let's just all be friends.
Why don't you be nice to her for once? It wouldn't kill you.
Ivan, l want you to meet my new friend Joanie.
- She's Kathy's sister. -Hi.
Hey, Kathy, how come you never told me you had a sister?
Well, you were never exactly interested in my family tree.
Ivan, come on, let's go.
Come on!
l hope I'm giving you enough room.
Oh, yeah. l got plenty of room.
You know, you remind me of somebody l used to know.
Let's go.

[cow mooing]
You're a dead man.
They both got you.
Come on.
Hello.
- l don't want to bother you. -No.
No.
l just wanted to tell you.
[...
l can see.
And my granny died.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
l just thought you would wanna know.
I'm having this baby.
l need...
l mean, the baby needs a father.
What do you need? Money?
It's just...
He is not...
l mean, there is nobody.
Where's your boyfriend? Detroit?
Let's go home.
l don't love you anymore.
l dreamed you up and I'm through with that.
l want to keep it that way.
Go home, Maria.
l will wait for you.
Don't bother.
You hear me?
I'm not coming back.
Don't wait for me.
You hear me?
Still stuck on her, huh?
Miss?
l thought you might be hungry.
ls there anything that l could do to help you?
No. Thank you.
[strumming guitar]
l can triple your business in a week.
No joke, pal.
Did it in Minnesota, I’ll do it here.
l can't believe it! l can't believe it!
Hey, come here! Come over here!
I’ll buy you a drink, no problem.
Hey, Bob! Bob, can you hear me?
Bob, could we have some food for this guy?
Bob's deaf!
You remember? Brownsville?
Where's your dog Dave?
Dave got married. Moved to Jersey.
[all laughing]
Do you remember?
You saved my life.
Huh? l almost killed myself.
Frankly, pal, I’ve saved a lot of lives.
Refresh my memory.
You told me to get laid.
[laughing]
- l was wondering where those got to. -Huh?
[coughing, laughing]
- This is all just a big joke to you, isn't it? -Did you say something?
Yeah.
l said l don't like watching you.
So don't watch. Pass the salt, somebody.
Now, what is this?
You say this guy told you to get laid?
That's how you think of it, isn't it? "Get laid"?
- Harvey. -No.
You are sitting here with a very sweet girl.
What about the other one?
- He means me. -l don't mean you, no offense. No.
l mean the other one.
Now, wait a minute. What did l do?
Ivan, the girl who was having a baby. l saw you.
No, you got that all wrong.
No, l don't got nothing wrong!
l saw you and l saw her.
That girl was like an angel. You just threw her away!
It wasn't my kid. It was just her tough luck.
No! l saw her and l heard her talk, and you're lying.
Nope.
Sorry.
Ivan, was it your baby?
Jesus! Lie to me, but don't lie to her!
- You jerk, sit down! -Damn you!
All right, all right.
You want to know about that girl? I’ll tell you.
We lived together for a year or more.
Yeah. So what?
She made me crazy and she's crazy.
She's not crazy. l know what crazy is.
You sure do.
You and her, you'd make a good pair.
[laughing]
Well, thanks for the grub.
[belches]
[sighs]
What seems to be the problem?
l, um...
l didn't catch the gist of all that.
Harvey here is all upset over some crazy broad.
Some girl trying to pin down Ivan.
Women.
Tricky.
Yeah.
l met this girl...
Looked like an angel.
Eyes like you wouldn't believe.
Skin like a baby's ass.
The whole bit.
But kind of shy, you know? Like, always backing off and coming on.
Tells me she's married.
l knew I’d stick it to her.
It's just a question of when, right?
So, one night,
she practically strips for me.
Peels off her little silk panties like she can't wait to get it in her.
So, l fuck her.
She's a virgin.
And married!
You got that? Ha!
- [man] You're kidding. -No joke.
Loved it, anyhow.
Well, they all like it with me, sure.
The thing is, five minutes later
she kicks me out of bed.
You figure it?
[scoffs]
Really something.
Crazy up here in the head, you know?
Poor bastard that married her probably couldn't get her to lie down. [laughs]
But l did.
You want to know how?
Simple.
Listen.
