Faith of Our Fathers Page #3

Hey, George.

You ever consider

the possibility

that Private Adams over there

is beyond the powers

of redemption?

Thank you, Sarge.

I don't think that's something

to be joking about, sir.

Now why's that, soldier?

Because that's a serious matter

between Eddie and God.

You having some kind of a

funny feeling over there, Eddie?

No, Sarge.

You sure?

Yes, Sarge.

George and I were

just talking about stuff.

On your feet, George.

You wouldn't be

preparing my men for death,

now would you, soldier?

No, Sarge.

Absolutely not.

'Cause I've been hearing you

talk to them about God,

and the Bible, and all that,

and you realize

that's not your job.

Yes, Sarge.

As you were.

Sarge;.

Just came in.

All right,

we got the location now.

Two clicks north from the fork

on the Giang River.

Adams.

Thank you.

That's right here, Sarge.

AH right, let's go.

Take 'em out.

All fight.

AN fight, guys, grab your gear.

You're not a Jesus freak,

are you?

What do you mean?

A freaky Bible guy.

Quoting Scriptures all daylong,

trying to convert people.

So, do you believe in God?

I knew it.

Knew what?

I'm not gonna do this with you.

Do what?

Play these games.

What games?

These beat-around-the-bush games

asking me questions about God,

so you can eventually

Bible bash me to death,

and tell me

I'm a terrible person,

and I'm going to hell,

all so you can feel like

you done your saintly duty

by destroying one of

Satan's minions,

all so you can secure yourself

a nice little place in heaven.

Did you memorize that?

Look honey, it's gonna

take a little bit longer

'cause we can't

drive through Alabama.

Why can't you drive

through Alabama?

I don't know.

I'll be home Tuesday

at the latest.

John Paul,

this is not acceptable.

Hi, Cynthia!

I gotta go before

he breaks his leash.

What have you gotten into?

I can't talk now; honey.

Seriously, I need to go,

but I'll call you later.

I love you.

Bye.

I love you, bye!

Forty-two bucks.

She was thirsty.

So, you got this one.

Uh, what do you mean?

Well, chronologically,

I got the last tank,

so that would mean

that you have this one.

Chronologically.

Chronologically,

you're about to owe me $500.

Heh, heh, little girls.

What are you looking at?

Big dumb hillbilly

with very little hygiene.

That looks like

that feminine ride of yours

ain't got no hygiene.

Hey Jethro,

this ain't no trash can.

You wanna take that out?

Why don't you make me?

Okay.

Evening, sir.

Could I interest you in

a couple of bags of beef jerky?

Hey, this stuff is so good,

you'll punch your mama.

That's okay.

What about some iced tea

for the road?

Three dollars change.

You sure you don't

wanna buy any of this?

Uh-oh, somebody just

got punched in the face.

Uh-oh.

Yeah hey, it's me

down at the gas station.

Look, hey, send me

three or four deputies.

I got a brawl going again.

Hey look, you might wanna roll

the ambulance with them, okay,

'cause these boys are serious

and somebody's gonna get hurt.

Ooh! I mean, he's putting

a whooping on this boy

like you ain't seen lately.

Uh-oh, you're not

gonna believe this.

Okay, the yuppie

just took down Goliath, okay,

with an oil can to the head.

Ringo, we gotta go!

Cops are coming!

Why were we fighting those guys?

'Cause they was rude to me, man.

Nobody talks to me like that.

Nobody!

Oh, What? What?!

You got a problem with that now?

Yeah, I do.

I just-l can't believe-

That's just the way things

are around here, city boy.

You owe me a letter.

A letter?

All right.

You know, I can't.

I can't... I feel like

you're taking advantage of me.

Advantage?

You show up at my house

and you think

I'm taking advantage of you?

I'm trying to help you!

I just helped you.

That's right, you did.

You found some courage in

that weak little body of yours

and you went all in.

Okay, I went all in

to try to stop it.

Exactly.

You went all in, Ringo.

I'm proud of you.

I'm sorry, okay.

I didn't mean to get you

into the whole thing.

I just-you know,

I didn't expect-

Me?

Yeah.

Boys, it took y'all long enough

to get here.

Hey look, y'all,

one bunch of 'em went

towards the interstate, right?

The other bunch, hey,

they went toward

the old highway over here.

A big country redneck

and then a yuppie.

Big redneck driving

a pickup truck, okay.

He's bigger than you are.

And then a yuppie.

He was driving some little rig.

I don't know what it was.

Oh, did he ever put a whooping

on that big redneck.

One of 'em went that way,

one of 'em went that way.

May even be a tooth or two

out there.

I don't know.

Look, you boys need to get

you some of this beef jerky.

But when they first

pulled up, okay, look,

they went to war

with each other.

I don't know who's who.

It took y'all

too long to get here.

Look, but you don't wanna

try to punch my mama, okay,

'cause she's like homely.

She don't play that.

You know,

you'll be swallowing teeth.

That's all I know.

They left when they heard

y'all pulling up with sirens.

But hey,

that's my report on the fight.

Y'all boys want some beef jerky?

What's going on?

What do you got, Adams?

Path just ended, Sarge.

Henderson?

Right here, sir.

Big Dragon, this is Little Elf.

Big Dragon, be advised,

Little Elf has followed

designated route

to grid coordinates.

Route ends, please advise.

Big Dragon, be advised

Little Elf has rechecked map

and grid coordinates

are correct.

How current is your information?

Could you recommend an alt-

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?!

Oh, now I'm crazy now too, huh?

I don't know, Wayne.

They seemed to be

doing just fine.

What's your problem?

I don't know.

Maybe it's just a Ted Bundy

death-by-mutilation

son of thing.

Well, just wave

your holy book at them.

Oh, okay.

- Where you headed?

- New York City, mate.

DC. if you want it.

Fair dinkum, we want it.

Thanks, mate.

This car's gorgeous.

What year is this bird anyway?

.55-

What's your name?

Ted.

His name is Ted.

Is that a funny name, mate?

Hey, pipe down, Cowboy Ted.

How 'bout you?

Oh, I'm Annie.

Look at that.

I'm John Paul George,

and this is...

Ringo?

Ted, it's not nice

to make fun of someone's name.

He's sensitive.

Sorry mate.

No, that's okay.

I'll go check on the rooms.

I'll go with you.

Stay put.

Are you guys brothers?

No.

We're just friends.

He treats you like

a kid brother, you know.

So, Why are you guys

going to D.C.?

It's a long story.

It's a long ride.

That it is.

Wham you going?

Making sure I get my own room.

Tell him

I'm gonna sleep outside.

Does he really think

he's a cowboy?

Yes.

How long you known him?

One long month on the road.

We're cousins, you know,

sol think he feels this

obligation to look after me.

I've known Wayne 2 days.

Really?

We're driving to D.C.

to see our fathers' names

on the Vietnam Wall.

Wow.

How many rooms, male?

Scoot over, Annie.

We're under the stars tonight.

Really?
