My pleasure. [to girl walking past:] Hiya. I'm Merriell Shelton. How 'bout I take you to the back of the train and you can show me your caboose? [she slaps him lmao] Fiesty.
(Snafu just got pinked on the train home.)
If we'd'a been here six months ago that broad woulda given us all blowjobs. [the guys laugh] Lied to again. This entire division didn't do that "plus six months" horseshit we did.
(They got home a week after V-J Day-- parades, pretty girls. 1946, the party's all over. Not as much as a complimentary beer.
Somebody had to stay and clean up after the war.
I suppose I'm gonna have to get a job too.)
Doin' what?
(I dunno. Anything between digging ditches and owning a bank. First I gotta get Florence home.
Wait, Florence from Melbourne?
Mm-hmm.)
You shippin' her all the way over here and this the first we hear 'bout it?
(Come on, Snaf. It was Okinawa. Figured it'd be bad luck to talk about it then.
Well, when's she coming?
I dunno. I cabled her but we've been at sea. I guess I'm gonna find out soon enough whether I'm getting married or not. What about you, Sledgehammer?
I'm just hopin' this Florence girl comes to her senses. [they laugh]
You got a job lined up in Mobile?
Nah. No job, no girl. No plans.)
How long you think that's gonna last?
(As long as the sheriff lets me.)
I'm gonna get that girl.
(Aw, leave her alone.)
You boys watch. I'm gonna get that girl.
(You've been saying that about every girl since San Diego.)
--
(There's my little brother. No sign of Florence.)
Melbourne's a hell of a long way, Burgie. It'll take Florence a while to get from Australia to here. Thanks... for doin' all you did to keep us from gettin' our fool heads shot off.
(You're good marines.)
