- Okay, papa.

- I'm on the level, Jed.

- You'll be finished in the army and as a civilian doctor if there's one more drunken night.

- Okay, okay.

- But you were drunk?

- Yes, sir, I was drunk.

- You never did it before. Why last night?

- Well, I don't know. Maybe the war's catching up with me... Its ugliness, stupidity, futility...

- It's a job, that's all.

- Yeah, but other jobs get done. Did it ever occur to you, we never catch up to our job?

- If only once, just once, we could get ahead of the game, beat the number of casualties...

- Ahh. It's an unusual generation we're living in. Three world wars in one lifetime.
