:44:00
Kathy, I...
:44:01
Danny, I...
:44:03
It's still the same way with me.
:44:08
Kitten, honey...
:44:11
Kitten, I love you.
:44:14
I love you too, Danny.
:44:20
Major Huxley, sir?
:44:22
Come in, Mac.
:44:24
Forrester's furlough papers
are ready for your signature, sir.
:44:30
Thank you.
:44:38
You don't like this, do you?
Giving this boy a furlough?
:44:41
That's not for me to decide, sir.
:44:46
Sit down, Mac.
:44:49
You and I have been soldiering
for a long time.
:44:52
Long enough to know that we're
in the loneliest business in the world.
:44:57
But these kids...
:45:01
Mac, a lonely boy
can get into trouble.
:45:04
I know that a few weeks at home
can straighten him out.
:45:07
I think it will too, sir.
:45:09
Remember,
these kids aren't professionals.
:45:12
Their reason for being here is different
than ours. They're wartime people.
:45:16
But I believe we can make them the kind
of Marines we've got to have.
:45:20
It's not the furlough, sir.
:45:24
Let's have it, Mac.
:45:26
Sure, major.
:45:28
May I speak freely?
:45:31
Please do.
:45:33
I've been soldiering long enough to know
a commander can't get involved...
:45:37
...in the personal lives of his men.
Nobody's that strong.
:45:41
You're going to end up
tearing your heart out.
:45:48
- Process these papers.
- Yes, sir.
