Flight Of The Intruder Page #4

Synopsis: After his bombardier is killed, Jake "Cool Hand" Grafton (Brad Johnson)', a carrier-based Intruder pilot, questions the purpose of Navy bombing missions. He finds an ally for his cynicism in Virgil Cole, a bombardier on his third tour of duty, and together they ponder the notion of one unsanctioned mission "downtown", to "Sam City" in North Vietnam.

It is an A-6 driver,

331

00:
14:13,551 -- 00:14:15,678

because no one else

on this ship

332

00:
14:15,786 -- 00:14:17,617

can hit the XO's ashtray.

333

00:
14:17,688 -- 00:14:18,713

Yeah!

334

00:
14:20,459 -- 00:14:21,756

Right, right, right.

335

00:
14:21,827 -- 00:14:22,760

Hup.

336

00:
14:22,829 -- 00:14:25,024

Someone,

337

00:
14:25,098 -- 00:14:29,399

in this room right here,

338

00:
14:29,470 -- 00:14:31,462

is the phantom shitter.

339

00:
14:31,539 -- 00:14:35,202

Now, it could be your roommate,

pilot, bombardier...

340

00:
14:35,276 -- 00:14:37,472

Think about it.

341

00:
14:37,546 -- 00:14:38,672

Movie officer.

342

00:
14:38,749 -- 00:14:39,680

Yes, sir.

343

00:
14:39,782 -- 00:14:41,410

What's the film for tonight?

344

00:
14:41,518 -- 00:14:43,646

Uh, They Shoot Horses,

Don't They?, sir.

345

00:
14:43,755 -- 00:14:44,847

It's Jane Fonda, sir.

346

00:
14:44,956 -- 00:14:45,854

Any skin?

347

00:
14:45,923 -- 00:14:46,855

No, sir.

348

00:
14:46,924 -- 00:14:47,823

Cancel it.

349

00:
14:47,893 -- 00:14:49,224

Yeah!

350

00:
14:55,536 -- 00:14:57,299

Dear Sharon,

351

00:
14:57,371 -- 00:15:00,205

By now you've been notified

that Morgan is gone.

352

00:
15:00,275 -- 00:15:03,005

He was killed over Vietnam

flying a night strike

353

00:
15:03,078 -- 00:15:06,640

and... I wish I could say

that his death was necessary,

354

00:
15:06,749 -- 00:15:09,275

but... it wasn't.

355

00:
15:10,721 -- 00:15:12,655

The target we were bombing

was nonexistent,

356

00:
15:12,723 -- 00:15:15,990

and the mission was useless.

357

00:
15:16,062 -- 00:15:20,363

Too many good men have died like

Morgan these past two years.

358

00:
15:20,434 -- 00:15:23,961

I guess I knew him as well

as any man could know another.

359

00:
15:24,037 -- 00:15:27,439

He was... he was my best friend.

360

00:
15:28,943 -- 00:15:30,502

I know how heavy a burden

361

00:
15:30,612 -- 00:15:32,808

his loss is to you

and little Bobby,

362

00:
15:32,916 -- 00:15:35,441

and... and I know

how much he loved you.

363

00:
15:35,552 -- 00:15:38,215

Somehow I wish

there was something,

364

00:
15:38,289 -- 00:15:39,723

just one thing I could do

365

00:
15:39,791 -- 00:15:42,817

to make up for such a loss

as Morgan.

366

00:
15:42,894 -- 00:15:44,862

I go on, as Tennyson said,

367

00:
15:44,930 -- 00:15:47,559

and the world darkens around me,

368

00:
15:47,633 -- 00:15:52,333

"among new men, strange faces"

and other minds.

369

00:
15:52,473 -- 00:15:55,307

You have my deepest

and most sincere sympathy.

370

00:
15:55,376 -- 00:15:56,468

Jake.

371

00:
16:31,922 -- 00:16:34,254

Real sorry about Mr. McPherson,

sir.

372

00:
16:35,959 -- 00:16:37,154

What's this?

373

00:
16:41,667 -- 00:16:43,259

Thought he was single.

374

00:
16:43,335 -- 00:16:44,564

He was.

375

00:
16:44,638 -- 00:16:46,504

He was four days ago.

376

00:
16:47,208 -- 00:16:49,199

You know this girl, Chief?

377

00:
16:49,310 -- 00:16:51,142

Yeah, she's a looker.

378

00:
16:51,213 -- 00:16:55,240

Probably first piece of ass

he's ever had.

379

00:
16:55,317 -- 00:16:57,183

When did you get married, son?

380

00:
16:57,253 -- 00:16:59,721

Last time in port, sir.

381

00:
16:59,789 -- 00:17:01,451

You know you got to have

Navy permission

382

00:
17:01,525 -- 00:17:03,686

to marry a foreign national?

383

00:
17:03,761 -- 00:17:05,457

Your folks know?

384

00:
17:05,530 -- 00:17:07,863

No, sir.

385

00:
17:07,934 -- 00:17:09,697

Do you love her?

386

00:
17:09,769 -- 00:17:12,364

Well, yes, sir,

of course I do, sir.

387

00:
17:12,439 -- 00:17:14,407

I-I got a picture of

her here in my wallet.

388

00:
17:14,474 -- 00:17:15,998

No, that's all right.

It's all right.

389

00:
17:17,378 -- 00:17:19,972

You violated a major

regulation, Hardesty,

390

00:
17:20,048 -- 00:17:22,039

but I'm going to sign

your chit.

391

00:
17:23,352 -- 00:17:24,876

You realize that you're legally

392

00:
17:24,954 -- 00:17:26,718

and morally obligated

to this girl.

393

00:
17:26,790 -- 00:17:27,916

Do you know that?

394

00:
17:27,991 -- 00:17:29,288

Yes, sir.

395

00:
17:29,359 -- 00:17:30,884

Do you understand

what that means?

396

00:
17:30,962 -- 00:17:32,020

You got to support her.

397

00:
17:32,096 -- 00:17:33,155

Yes, sir.

398

00:
17:42,443 -- 00:17:44,435

This aircraft

has not been cleaned!

399

00:
17:44,546 -- 00:17:46,138

Why hasn't this aircraft

been cleaned?

400

00:
17:46,214 -- 00:17:47,681

I'll clean it myself, sir.

401

00:
17:47,749 -- 00:17:49,149

I'll see that it's done.

402

00:
17:49,218 -- 00:17:51,209

You do that,

you get it done!

403

00:
17:51,287 -- 00:17:52,254

Get it clean!

404

00:
17:56,994 -- 00:17:58,087

Sorry, sir, l...

405

00:
17:58,162 -- 00:18:00,528

No, don't explain, son,

just get it done.

406

00:
18:00,598 -- 00:18:02,260

Mr. Grafton won't hold it

against you.

407

00:
18:02,401 -- 00:18:03,834

He's just upset.

408

00:
18:03,902 -- 00:18:05,370

It's just that nobody's ever

409

00:
18:05,472 -- 00:18:07,064

come back dead like that, sir.

410

00:
18:07,173 -- 00:18:08,162

Whole ship knows about it.

411

00:
18:08,276 -- 00:18:09,207

A lot of them come down

412

00:
18:09,276 -- 00:18:10,608

just to take a look

at it, but...

413

00:
18:10,678 -- 00:18:12,305

I don't know why we

didn't clean it, sir.

414

00:
18:12,446 -- 00:18:13,879

When people die,

they're just gone.

415

00:
18:13,948 -- 00:18:14,711

But not like this, sir.

416

00:
18:14,783 -- 00:18:15,750

All right, all right.

417

00:
18:15,817 -- 00:18:17,479

That's all right, son,

that's all right.

418

00:
18:28,867 -- 00:18:30,198

This is the enforcer.

419

00:
18:30,302 -- 00:18:31,701

Stand by to recover the call.

420

00:
18:48,391 -- 00:18:50,325

Mr. Cole!

How you doing?

421

00:
18:50,393 -- 00:18:52,328

I'm Chief Poole.

You come this way.

422

00:
18:52,430 -- 00:18:54,022

Commander Camparelli

is waiting for you

423

00:
18:54,098 -- 00:18:55,030

down in the ready room.

424

00:
18:55,099 -- 00:18:56,032

Hold on, Chief.

425

00:
18:56,101 -- 00:18:57,068

All right, sir.

426

00:
19:00,172 -- 00:19:01,766

I want to smell it.

427

00:
19:03,811 -- 00:19:05,472

I've been away for a while.

428

00:
19:08,816 -- 00:19:09,749

I'm ready.

429

00:
19:09,818 -- 00:19:10,786

All right, sir.

430

00:
19:15,825 -- 00:19:16,986

Mr. Cole.

431

00:
19:18,328 -- 00:19:19,420

Have a seat.

432

00:
19:19,497 -- 00:19:20,963

I'm fine, sir.

433

00:
19:28,775 -- 00:19:30,106

Uh...

434

00:
19:31,479 -- 00:19:34,915

I was on the Coral Sea,

when you were on the Ranger.

435

00:
19:34,982 -- 00:19:36,143

Is that so?

436

00:
19:36,218 -- 00:19:39,483

Knew a lot of guys

in VA-35.

437

00:
19:39,588 -- 00:19:42,023

Knew Jim Becker.

438

00:
19:42,158 -- 00:19:43,421

Flew A-4s with him.

439

00:
19:43,494 -- 00:19:44,927

You went down with him,

didn't you?

440

00:
19:44,995 -- 00:19:46,895

That's right, sir.
