1:20:01
Commander, we're running
a little low here.

1:20:08
Men, this is the deal.
1:20:12
At 1700, we get ferried out to an LST...
1:20:16
to join the six naval engineers
who are already on board.

1:20:19
At 2000 hours, we shove off.
1:20:25
At 0500, tomorrow morning...
1:20:28
we transfer into an LCVP...
1:20:31
with the engineers.
1:20:33
We'll be about 3,000 yards
off Omaha beach.

1:20:37
We start moving toward the beach...
1:20:39
until we get to the minefields
and barricades.

1:20:42
Then the engineers get into the water...
1:20:45
and start clearing out those minefields
and those barricades.

1:20:50
We get into the water with them.
1:20:54
What for?
1:20:56
We're going to make movies.
1:20:58
We're going to shoot movies
of those engineers...

1:21:01
clearing out those minefields
and barricades all the way to the beach.

1:21:06
Mostly we want to shoot movies
of engineers getting killed...

1:21:10
especially the first body
that washes up on Omaha beach.

1:21:16
That's the deal.
What do you think of that, mates?

1:21:20
Commander, I think you're out
of your ever-loving mind.

1:21:23
You can say that again.
1:21:25
What's this?
1:21:27
That's a camera.
1:21:29
How do you work it?
1:21:31
How the hell do I know?
1:21:33
This is a pretty intricate camera.
1:21:35
At home I got a little old
8 mm Bell and Howell.

1:21:39
I never saw anything like this before.
1:21:41
That's what they gave me.
1:21:45
I can see the ceiling.
1:21:51
I'll tell you one thing.
1:21:54
You got to put film in this camera.
1:21:59
Are you sure of that?
