:07:04
I'm ashamed to say I really don't know
anything about archeology.
:07:07
Few people do.
:07:08
Didn't you once publish something
about the Roman ruins in Cheltenham?
:07:12
A very obscure something. How did you know?
:07:15
Tom mentioned it in one of his letters.
He was very proud of your friendship.
:07:19
As I was of his.
:07:21
Will you have tea, or something livelier?
:07:25
Something livelier, please.
:07:29
-Is that ice I see?
-Surprised?
:07:32
Tom got me into the habit.
:07:35
Now I use ice in practically everything.
:07:40
There we are.
:07:45
May we drink to Tom?
:07:48
Of course.
:07:53
I'm extremely sorry circumstances
compelled us to bury him in the field.
:07:57
Even sorrier I was
transferred from Palestine...
:08:00
...before I got the chance to see you.
:08:03
It wasn't your fault.
It took me almost a week to arrange passage.
:08:07
But your letter was waiting there for me,
and Tom's things.
:08:10
I really shouldn't have let him go with us.
:08:13
It was only a border affair.
:08:15
One of the Jewish undergrounds
had blown up half a dozen bridges.
:08:18
It really wasn't important enough
to lose one's life for.
:08:22
Is anything?
:08:23
In my opinion, yes.
:08:26
I've known many soldiers, Mrs. Fremont,
and war correspondents...
:08:30
...and news photographers,
such as your husband.
:08:32
But I think perhaps Tom
was the bravest man I've ever met.
:08:37
We have a saying in Indiana:
:08:39
"The braver the bird, the fatter the cat."
:08:42
Perhaps.
:08:45
Do you recognize this photograph, General?
:08:47
Of course. It was his last.
:08:49
Do you remember how Tom got that shot?
:08:51
We were together.
:08:52
I must confess, my eyes weren't on him
when he snapped the shutter.
:08:56
The aircraft came in low.
We were both in the truck.
:08:59
I jumped down on one side to take cover,
and Tom jumped down on the other side.
