:07:02
I think the army
considered this a good deal.
:07:11
So now we've been moved north
into the Ardennes Forest...
:07:13
to await replacements.
:07:15
It's become a kind
of frontline halfway house...
:07:18
for straightening out
our nerves.
:07:22
I'm not sure
I can be straightened out.
:07:26
I'm scared all the time now.
:07:31
It's mid-December, 1944.
:07:43
My family name is Knott.
K-N-O-T-T.
:07:47
My parents named me William.
:07:49
By the third grade,
I was Will Knott.
:07:53
I've learned to live with it.
:07:55
What I wasn't prepared for
were the guys of the I & Rplatoon...
:07:57
who decided I was
to be known as 'Won't."
:08:02
Let's go, Knott!
:08:08
Back in Camp Shelby
before we shipped out...
:08:11
Lieutenant Ware was told that
Intelligence was doing a lousy job.
:08:15
He figured if he filled the squad
with intelligent soldiers...
:08:18
he'd get better Intelligence.
:08:20
He searched the regimental records for
the soldiers with the highest scores...
:08:23
on the intelligence test...
:08:25
and requisitioned us
as a squad.
:08:28
Of course, six of us are dead.
:08:31
So what's intelligence?
:08:37
Jesus Christ, Knott.
:08:39
Haven't you got them fucking
sergeant stripes sewn on yet?
:08:42
The supply sergeant says they're all
out. They're waiting on a new shipment.
:08:45
Well, get some staff sergeant
stripes and cut 'em down.
:08:48
That'd be destruction
of government property, sir.
:08:51
Well, I just hope to hell that
son of a bitch Griffin doesn't see it.
:08:57
It's amazing how much profanity
goes on in the army...
:08:59
when you're tuned to hear it.
