any talking to German.
When you talk, you talk
to your guards only.
Blood pressure is falling off.
Eins, zwei!
Eins, zwei! Eins, zwei!
What are you giving him?
It looks like the pressure's
coming up now.
Let's see how we do in
the next five or 10 minutes.
Mrs. Shaw?
I'm Doctor Ellenbogen. Your
father's gonna be all right.
It was very difficult, but
he came through in good shape.
Stanley, he's gonna
be all right!
Wonderful.
Did you find Mother?
Well, it... it's crazy,
Barbara. L... I don't understand.
What's crazy, Stanley?
Where's Mama?
Come on, honey.
L- Let's sit down.
Listen. I think we'll take care of your
father till he's able to take care of himself.
What are you talking about?
Well, I looked all over
for your mom,
and then I asked
one of the nurses.
And they said that...
that she died about
three hours ago.
So I had to find out
if it was the right one.
And it was.
She was.
How?
I don't know, uh...
She had some kind of
accident with the car...
and got carbon monoxide
poisoning.
But she drives a Cadillac!
Honey, I don't know.
That's what they told me.
Oh, God.
I know. I know.
Hi, darling. How you feeling?
Dirty sons of b*tches.
Bureaucratic bastards.
They have the audacity to put me
in a room with a basket case.
- Theyjust don't have a private room, sweetheart.
- Well, I don't know...
Goddamn it, Lily!
I'm gonna pepper your Radcliffe ass with
buckshot if I catch you smoking again!
You better stay in condition
to keep up with B.C. Rumfoord.
- You guys go on without me.
I'll be all right.
Christ. All he does
in his sleep...
is quit and surrender
and apologize.
Shoot. I could carve
a better man out of a banana.
Did you bring me those
books from Widener?
The boys at the Harvard Crimson
have a beautiful bit about you. Oh?
They call you the Red Baron
of military history...
And want you
to get well soon.
Those little bastards!
The Truman statement
about Hiroshima is in here,
and those eight
Army Air Force documents.
Oh, yeah.
And the Irving book on Dresden. I was there.
Honey, why did they keep Dresden
a secret for so long?
Oh, hell. For fear
a lot of bleeding hearts...
would say bombing it
was a chickenshit thing to do.
My book's gonna lay it
on the line, sweetheart.
Nobody's gonna weep and wail over
Dresden after they read my book.
I was there.
What's he saying?
He said he was there.
Says he was where?
Dresden.
At Dresden, B. C!
The hell with him.
Let him write his own book.
Schlachthof-funf.
What the hell is he saying now?
Ich bin Amerikanische soldat.
Dresden.
Schlachthof-funf. You wanna know something?
We didn't start the last war;
the Nazis did.
And 135,000 people
dying in Dresden...
does not seem so very much when put against
over five million Allies who had to die!
And you just might remember that
when we were bombing Dresden,
and V-2 rockets into London,
killing men,
women and children.
Don't get so uptight.
Jesus!
It gives me a pain:: Weeping over Dresden
and not give a damn about our own losses!
Hey, what about Coventry?
What about Rotterdam?
What about the extermination
camps the Germans were running?
Gassing millions?
I want your attention.
Attention, please.
You are having a visitor.
Howard Campbell, Junior.
I have just come back from the
Russian Front, so I'll make it short.
I know how hungry you are.
Food's not much though, is it?
Food's terrifiic!
Almost as neat as your outfit!
Men, I have a proposition for you.
How would you like to come back to
America after this war as heroes?
Great, as long as I could
wear that fag outfit!
Since you're so interested in my
outfit, I'll tell you what it's about.
Blue is for the American sky.
White is for the race that
pioneered that continent,
cleared the forests, drained the
swamps, built the roads and the bridges.
And the red is for the blood
of fine American boys...
that's been shed
in defense of your freedom.
I don't see you shedding
any blood, Campbell.
You all know that communism
is out to enslave the world.
And who's out there
trying to stop them?
The Germans! They're not your
enemies. They're your allies!
Communism is the enemy
of all of us!
- I want volunteers for
the Free American Corps.
- Men who are willing to stand up to these commies.
- Sit down, Lazzaro!
I didn't vote for you,
Derby. Good. Now, who's next?
- If we don't stop them...
- Everybody to the air shelter.
Move. Let's go!
Get outta my way.
There'll be no bombs. Churchill's
nephew lives in Dresden.
Don't worry, soldier.
Well, men, do I have
only one volunteer?
Listen, pal. I only stood up back there to tell
you that one day your doorbell's gonna ring,
and there's gonna be this guy
in a trench coat...
We'll eat German craw for so
long, Campbell, because we have to.
But we'd rather die
than eat your dung,
which is sick and lousy
and foul!
History will prove you
an ass.
Oh, sh*t.
No bombs,
eh, Campbell?
You can't trust
theJews.
Daddy, you should really
stay with us.
And you shouldn't talk
about Mama...
or the accident,
or even the war.
I just wanna go home.
But we want you with us!
I'll be fine.
Just for one night?
No.
Oh, Daddy. Honestly!
Daddy, you should
consider yourself lucky.
Practically every optometrist
Stanley's been working
night and day for you.
Stinking old dog.
Hello, Spot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Daddy, honestly!
mind and come stay with us?
You'll be in this empty house
with that old dog.
I'll be all right.
But, Daddy, be realistic.
You just turned middle-aged. You've
got your whole life ahead of you.
Good night, dear.
Ja, schweine!
Verfluchen schweine!
Mama!
Mama!
Mama! Mama!
- Dad? Dad?
Papa!
Dad?
Robert?
Hiya, Dad.
Hi, Spot.
How did you get here?
Well, they... They gave
But you know...
Sure, Dad. I know.
That's why I'm here.
And to see you.
How are you, Dad?
I'm fine.
God, Dad. To think that
you lived. It's a miracle.
Like one time when a chopper
got hit by Charlie,
just outside our camp.
It came down like,
like a stone.
But the door gunner
walked away.
Dad?
Dad, I-I did the right
thing, joining up.
I'm sure you did, son.
Aah, it's a lousy war, but sooner or
later it's gonna be us or the communists.
to them somewhere.
Dad?
Dad?
I know you and Mom
worried about me a lot.
I guess I haven't been
the best of sons.
You've been just fine, Robert.
No, I... I know I was pretty wild,
and I want to make up
for it.
Remember that stuff
in the cemetery? Geez!
I'm so ashamed of that now.
Really, I am.
But I've changed
a lot, Dad.
And I just hope I can make you
real proud of me from now on.
You already have, Robert.
Dad, will you come
to Mom's grave with me?
I'm not ready yet.
I know how you feel, Dad.
I'm just not ready.
