:24:03
There's our bomber escort.
Right on time, too.
:24:07
Those babies are always welcome.
Am I glad to see you.
:24:35
Take it easy, pal.
You've been through this before.
:24:38
Lay off, or I'll kick your teeth in.
:24:40
Got the shakes?
:24:43
I won't stick in the door.
:24:45
- Don't worry about me.
- Who's worrying?
:24:50
- Listen, Gabby.
- Yeah?
:24:52
You're right behind me.
:24:54
Just in case I should stick,
give me a little shove, will you?
:24:59
If you go, you go by yourself.
I ain't shoving nobody through no door.
:25:03
But you're my friend, ain't you?
Don't let me freeze.
:25:06
If I stick, they'll kick me out, you hear?
:25:08
Miggleori...
:25:09
I ever tell you about the time
I froze in the door in Fort Benning?
:25:13
- You, sir?
- Sure. Oh, boy.
:25:16
I think it was about my fourth
or fifth jump.
:25:18
Anyway, about five minutes
before it was time to go...
:25:21
I felt myself starting to get the shakes.
:25:23
I got up to the door,
I wanted to go and I couldn't.
:25:27
I froze just like a cigar-store Indian.
:25:30
There I was, like that, looking down.
:25:33
My brain kept saying to me,
"Go on. Jump, will you? Jump!"
:25:35
Couldn't do it.
:25:37
Finally, I got so sore at myself,
I said to myself:
:25:39
"If you don't jump,
when I get you back on the ground...
:25:42
"I'll drill a hole right through you.
Understand?"
:25:45
I guess I got so scared
at the idea of shooting myself...
:25:48
I jumped in self-defense.
:25:51
Take it easy. Everybody gets
a little nervous in the service.
:25:54
Have a cigarette. Would you like
a nice, stiff shot of bourbon?
:25:57
- Yes, sir!
- So would I.
