:51:13
Suppose that one of us captures all
the Germans single-handed, all alone...
:51:18
then we build this guy
into a second Sergeant York?
:51:22
It's got to be worth
at least a Silver Star.
:51:26
Maybe even a trip home
as a returning war hero.
:51:29
- How does that sound?
- Sounds like a court-martial.
:51:32
How are they ever
gonna catch on?
:51:34
You know, for Mother's sake,
I think we should at least try.
:51:37
For Mother?
:51:39
Sure. Who else?
:51:45
Oh, boy, that would be perfect.
:51:52
We testify that the Germans
had us pinned down...
:51:54
and Wilkins comes in the nick
of time and saves the whole show.
:51:57
And we'd have a genuine mob
of enemy soldiers to back up our story.
:52:01
Yeah, okay. For right now
we don't tell anybody, okay?
:52:04
It's just the two of us.
:52:06
Look, if it doesn't work,
at least we tried.
:52:14
Sneaking out is easy.
:52:15
Mother's back upstairs
by himself...
:52:17
and Father and Miller
are asleep.
:52:20
We decide we'll have to tell Avakian,
who's on guard at the lower post.
:52:24
You're gonna tromp out there,
set up an armistice conference...
:52:27
and turn Wilkins
into a war hero.
:52:29
What, are you
out of your tiny minds?
:52:31
- I don't think so.
- It all makes sense.
:52:34
It's a theory. You're gonna get
your butt shot off for a theory.
:52:38
Well, I'm going.
:52:40
Will, listen to me.
I'm the one guy here who knows...
:52:44
Mel, I said I'm going.
:52:52
Okay, fine.
:52:56
But even if you do
pull this off...
:52:58
how are you going to get
Mother to go along with it?
