:24:00
I sure hope you
like fish, ma'am.
:24:02
Because after about a week
when the fruit runs out...
:24:05
there's going to
be nothing else but...
:24:06
raw fish, at that.
:24:08
And I'm sure
I'll get used to it.
:24:11
Oh, sure.
:24:13
Now, that was
a dope question.
:24:15
It's a cinch you'd like fish...
:24:18
with your religion and all.
:24:21
You know,
the guys in the corps...
:24:24
the ones who go to see the chaplain
the night before an attack...
:24:26
have to eat fish on Friday...
:24:28
we call them mackerel snap...
:24:35
What is it you call them, Mr. Allison?
:24:38
Huh? Who?
:24:40
The ones who have
to eat fish on Fridays.
:24:42
Oh, we call them, uh...
:24:45
um...
:24:46
Is it mackerel snappers?
:24:49
Yeah. Yeah, that's what some
of the guys call them.
:24:53
But they're good marines,
ma'am, the best.
:24:56
I'm glad to hear that.
:25:00
Of what faith are you,
Mr. Allison?
:25:02
Huh?
:25:03
What church did
your parents raise you in?
:25:06
Oh, I didn't have no parents.
I was an orphanage kid.
:25:08
You mean you never
knew your parents?
:25:11
They died when
you were little?
:25:14
I mean there I was at the Allison Street
entrance one morning...
:25:16
in an empty egg crate.
:25:18
Allison Street, Milwaukee.
:25:20
I figure I'm a...
:25:24
I figure I'm illegitimate.
:25:27
Well, what's the difference, I say.
I got born, didn't I?.
:25:32
Didn't they give you any religious teaching
in the orphanage?
:25:35
Oh, sure.
:25:36
Every Sunday, some skinny old crack
used to come around...
:25:39
and go on about what cigarettes
will do to your insides and...
:25:43
things.
:25:45
But I broke out of there
when I was 14.
:25:48
The next few years...
:25:49
I seen the insides of more
halls of correction and jails...
:25:51
than I did churches.
:25:53
Then I joined
the marines.
:25:57
Now, you look at me,
ma'am.
:25:59
What do you see besides
a big, dumb guy?
