[It's, uh- Jesus. It's called The Tin Soldier. It's a bunch of malarky.]
Mm.
[Smoke?]
Mm, not possible.
[James Darmody.]
Richard- Harrow.
[Nice to meet you.]
Mm. Would you want- this? My sister- sends 'em to me- 'cause I used to enjoy 'em.
[You don't anymore?]
It occurred to me- the basis of fiction- is that people- have some sort of connection- with each other- mm, but they don't.
[Thank you.]
They makin' you- take the test?
[The nutcase test? Yeah.]
Mm. Then they'll tell us- if we're normal or not. I hear- some of the questions- are embarrassing.
[Just lie.]
Mm, I find that- difficult now. Mm. They're interested- in what's in our heads- so that next time- we'll fight better.
[Hm.]
I should leave this- mm, in my room- but if I don't have it with me- I become anxious.
[German sniper mask.]
Mm. I had to wait- a very long time- for him to take it off.
[You were a marksman?]
I watched him- from a blind- for three days. He lifted it- to scratch his nose. I put a bullet- one inch below his eye.
[Well. Fuck him, right?]
Yeah. Mm. On the test, they ask- if you ever made love to a girl.
[James Darmody? James Darmody? He left. Did he say why? He said he was feeling fine. Then he left. ... Richard Harrow? He left too. Go ahead. Try lying.]
Mm. Yep. That's right.
---
Mm. You live here? This- is a whorehouse.
[Yeah. You want a drink?]
Bourbon.
[Two bourbons. The real stuff. Uh... You got a straw back there? A straw? The second drawer down. Down. To the lost. Again?]
Mm. You have a gun- under your jacket.
[It's a Colt. 1903.]
Mm. I have- one of those. And a Smith & Wesson triple lock. A Roth-Steyr, a Webley .455. Mauser 1914. Very small. Mm. Enfield 1917. 30-06- mm, telescopic sight. Very accurate- mmhmm. Accurate to 700 yards. Mm. I like the Colt- in the hand. How'd you use yours?
[How do you think?]
Mm. You use it to kill people. It's very good for that.
[I wanna introduce you to someone. Odette. Odette. Hi. This is Richard Harrow. He's a friend of mine. He's a war hero. He needs to know how grateful the nation is for his sacrifice. You're a patriot, right? I'm whatever you want me to be. I'll watch your things. I'll watch them. It's okay. C'mon baby, I got a whole tickertape parade for you.]
---
[Richard. We missed you this morning. The dedication, for the memorial.]
I wasn't- interested in that.
[You alright?]
I should- talk to Jimmy.
[Okay, Ange. Where were you today?]
Needed to take a walk.
[I should've gone with you.]
We're both back now.
[You up for a job tonight? ... Is there a problem, Richard?]
Would you- fight for me?
[Of course I would. Right down to the last bullet.]
Then let's go to work.
---
[The whole company is supposed to be singing and this fella Radcliffe, he starts changing the words. Over there, fuck a bear, I'll fight any night, in my underwear~]
Mm. You know, I'd be out- days on end. Moving from blind to blind. Mm. Water, rations, rifle. Never speak a word. I'd come back to camp, the boys joking- and I'd feel... this is where I'm meant to be.
[Nobody was meant to be there.]
But that's where we were. And we're still there, aren't we?
[Time to come home, Richard.]
How?
[I don't know, but promise me you're gonna try.]
---
Who was that?
[Nucky. He found Manny Horvitz.]
I'll come with you.
[It's okay.]
I could take care of this for you.
[This is something I gotta do myself. Did Jimmy go out?]
