[Serling and Monfriez go on a drive]

Monfriez:
[points a pistol at the colonel while driving] You ever kill anyone at close range with a small arm, sir? [Serling shakes his head]It's messy. [they stop at a railroad crossing] No. We're not talking about one of your great big tank guns here. Oh, that's OK. I know what you did. Your own men. Guys under your command. How'd it feel? Bad, right?

Nathaniel Serling:
Very bad, son.

Monfriez:
[face becomes more distressed] Very bad. And you didn't even mean to kill them. [Serling shakes his head] I've been a good soldier. A good soldier. [hears oncoming] Listen to that whistle. Johnny "Night Train" Monfriez. Say it.

Serling:
Johnny "Night Train" Monfriez. [Monfriez tries to keep his composure]

Monfriez:
Now get out.

Serling:
You don't want to do this, son. Let me help you.

Monfriez:
It's too late.

Nathaniel Serling:
It's never too late. Look at me. Things get f***ed up in war. I don't give a damn what happened to you. You can't do this.

Monfriez:
Wrong! I can't do anything else.

Nathaniel Serling:
Yes, you can. You can put the car in reverse. Put the gun down. We can help each other. I don't want to lose another good soldier. [tries to hold the hand with the pistol]

Monfriez:
[c*cks pistol and aims it at Serling] I strongly urge you to dismount the vehicle, sir! [Serling gets down and Monfriez leaves to drive onto the train]

Nathaniel Serling:
Monfriez. Monfriez!

Monfriez:
Aah! [dies in a collision with the train]
