- Yeah, it gets me right back here.

- Back there, huh? Well, every man to his own taste.

- You weren't old enough for the world war. No, of course not. You must have been just a kid. I was.

- I was just ripe... and raring to go.

- Know what my old man did when I joined up? He joined up too.

- Got to be a sergeant.

- We were in the same outfit. Funny, huh?

- He was killed, John. I saw him get it. I was right there and saw it with my own eyes.
