How about a cigarette?

- Is he...?

- Yeah.

If he had to get it

it's the way he'd have wanted.

It's a letter to his kid.

"Dear son, I guess none of my letters

have reached you.

"I thought I'd try again as I'm feeling

"that this may be the last

time I can write you.

"For a long time

I've wanted to tell you many things.

"Now that you're a big boy, I will.

"If we'd been together even for a while,

"I could've explained many things

much better than writing them.

"You've gotta take care of your mother,

and love her and make her happy.

"Never hurt her or anyone as I did.

"Always do what your heart

tells you is right.

"Maybe someone will write you some day

and tell you about me.

"I want you to be like me in some

things, but not like me in others.

"When you grow older and get to know

more about me, you'll see I've failed...

"...in many ways.

"This isn't what I wanted

but things just turned out that way.

"If there was only more time I..."

Guess he never finished it.

I'll finish it for him.

There she goes.

All right, saddle up!

Let's get back in the war!
