Over Here1996

Herschel Lenko:
Boy, I envy you RAF guys.

Archie Bunting:
Really? Why is that?

Herschel Lenko:
You've seen real action. That's where I want to be, right in the thick of it. Must be a great feeling.

Archie Bunting:
Oh yes, it's tremendous fun.

[laughs]

Archie Bunting:
Do you know, I've seen some of my best friends blow to pieces right in front my eyes. One of them, what was his name? Ah, Sky Leggit we called him, his plane exploded about a hundred feet above me and a piece of his lower intestine slapped right across the windscreen. Couldn't budge the bugger. [Lenko's cheerfulness gives way to a sad and solemn look]

Archie Bunting:
I've been to more funerals than a hearse. [laughs]

Archie Bunting:
Oh, it's tremendous fun.

[Turns serious]

Archie Bunting:
Listen to me, and understand what I'm saying. This is not a holiday, this is war.

Herschel Lenko:
I know it's not a holiday! And we don't say 'holiday', we call it a vacation.

Archie Bunting:
Oh, I do beg your pardon. Look around our ward. There are sixteen men in there. Count how many arms and legs. Just what the doctor ordered.
