:37:01
They'd also make great insulation
against an enemy attack.
:37:05
But the truth of the matter is
that I'm just interested, you know,
:37:09
in principles of modern banking
and the history of piracy,
:37:14
the paintings of Orozco,
:37:17
modern French theatre,
:37:20
the jurisprudential factor
of the Mafia administration,
:37:24
diseases of horses
and the novels of Joyce Cary
:37:28
and ethnic choices of the Arabs.
:37:31
Things like that.
:37:40
- Ben.
- Sir.
:37:42
The army's got
a lot of things wrong with it, but
:37:45
it does take care of
its own people, which is why I'm here.
:37:49
As a public relations officer,
you're a disaster.
:37:52
I never wanted the job.
:37:54
You permitted the secretary to make
unfortunate remarks to that idiot, Iselin,
:37:58
which started him off on a rampage.
:38:00
Listen to me, please.
:38:02
For months, I've been driven
out of my mind by a recurring dream.
:38:05
The medical officer...
:38:07
What the hell does the Medical Corps
know about intelligence work?
:38:11
I tell you, there's something phoney
about me, about Raymond Shaw,
:38:15
about the whole Medal of Honor business.
:38:18
For instance, when the psychiatrist asked
me how I felt about Raymond Shaw
:38:22
and how the whole patrol felt about him,
did you hear what I said? Really hear?
:38:27
I said Raymond Shaw
is the kindest, warmest, bravest,
:38:30
most wonderful human being
I've ever known.
:38:33
And even now I feel that way, and yet,
somewhere in the back of my mind,
:38:37
something tells me it's not true.
It's just not true.
:38:42
It isn't as if Raymond's hard to like.
He's impossible to like!
:38:47
In fact, he's probably
one of the most repulsive human beings
:38:50
I've ever known in my whole...
all of my life.
:38:53
What I came to tell you is Public Relations
has bounced you back to me.
:38:57
And in your present state,
there's no possible way I can use you.
