401
Hey.
402
Don't thank me till you've tried it.
403
You missed mail call.
404
What the hell are they doing?
405
I don't know.
They've been doing it since sundown.
406
Sounds like some kind of prayer.
407
Maybe they know our orders.
408
Think you could do it, Joe?
409
Give it a rest, Henderson.
410
Give it a rest? I keep trying, but...
411
I'm here to kill Japs, not marines.
412
I saw you a warrior2, Yahzee...
413
You will make your family proud.
414
What the hell you think you're doing, boy?
415
Getting on my uniform.
416
You know the difference
between you and a Jap, Yahzee?
417
It's that uniform.
418
That's it.
419
See, I know you people.
420
I know what kind
of slanty-eyed savage3 you are, boy.
421
You ought to be careful out here all alone.
422
No baby-sitter.
423
I might just take you for a Jap.
424
You gonna let me get dressed, Chick?
425
Or keep demonstrating
what an ignorant fool you are?
426
How's that for an ignorant fool?
427
Go ahead, try again.
428
You gonna do something?
429
Chick! Come on!
430
Get off me!
431
- You OK, Ben?
- Yeah.
432
Ben? Shit.
433
I thought he was a Jap. You know,
killed some marine1 for that uniform.
434
Sure you did, Chick.
435
Damn Injun looks just like
a Jap, don't he?
436
Look, I'm no damn Injun.
437
I'm Navajo, of the Bitter Water People,
born for the Towering House clan5.
438
But you do look like a Nip.
439
Next time you decide to take a bath,
Private, let me know, or I'll kick your ass6.
440
Fucking shitbird.
441
Supposed to be with a baby-sitter
all the time, I thought.
442
Out here hunting salmon7 and shit.
443
That ceremony you saw last night?
It's called a protection ceremony.
444
Navajo believe, until a body's given
a proper burial, the spirits stay near it.
445
Chindis
we call evil spirits. Demons4.
446
I haven't thought much about it
since I was a kid.
447
Till I saw those dead bodies.
448
You telling me you saw ghosts, Private?
449
No, Sergeant8. I'm telling you
I won't freeze up again.
450
No, Sergeant. I'm telling you
I won't freeze up again.
