Jamie McAllan
- Jamie McAllan: You ever miss it sometimes? Being over there. I don't mean being shot at, but sometimes, I actually miss it.
- Ronsel Jackson: Yeah, me, too. Over there, I was a liberator. People lined up in the streets waiting for us. Throwing flowers and cheering. And here I'm just another nigger pushing a plow.
- Jamie McAllan: You tanker boys ever piss in your helmets?
- Ronsel Jackson: [coughs] Plenty of times.
- Jamie McAllan: We had a relief tube up in the cockpit. Sometimes it was easier just to go in our flak helmets. But at 20,000 feet that piss freezes solid in less than a minute. It's that cold up there? Shit. I'm talking 20, 30 below. One time we were on this long haul, I pissed in my helmet, I forgot all about it. We were just over the target. I put the helmet back on. We're doing this bombing run, dodgin' enemy flak, and all of a sudden I started feelin' something runnin' down my face.
- Ronsel Jackson: [laughs]
- Jamie McAllan: Yeah, I thought I was hit.
- [both laughing]
- Ronsel Jackson: So, what about you? What's the worst thing you ever done?
- Jamie McAllan: Who, me? I'm a saint.
- Ronsel Jackson: [scoffs] I bet. I bet.
- Jamie McAllan: Men that died that day... they were husbands, fathers. They were good men. A lot better than me.
- [first lines]
- Jamie McAllan: [in a hole digging]
- Henry McAllan: You better get a hurry along. We ain't gonna make it.
- [mopping his brow]
- Henry McAllan: Oh, we will. We have to.
- [sighs]
- Henry McAllan: Take a break. Come on. My turn.
- Jamie McAllan: "We will. We have to."
- Jamie McAllan: [narrating] That was my brother, Henry. Absolutely certain whatever he wanted to happen would.
