Saigon.

sh*t.

I’m still only in Saigon.

I’m here a week now.

Waiting for a mission.

Getting softer.

Every minute I stay in this room, I get weaker.

And every minute Charlie squats in the bush, he gets stronger.

I was going to the worst place in the world and I didn’t even know it yet.

Weeks away and hundreds of miles up a river that snaked through the w*r like a main circuit cabIe, plugged straight into Kurtz.

Luke, would you play that tape for the Captain, please?

-Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.
-Listen to this carefully, Captain.

October 9, 0430 hours, sector Peter Victor King.

These were monitored out of Cambodia.

If you ask me, when a house looks like that, it's time to find another one.

W-O-L. That spells "Owl."

The machinist, the one they called Chef, was from New Orleans.

He was wrapped too tight for Vietnam.

Probably wrapped too tight for New Orleans.

Lance, on the forward .50s, was a famous surfer from the beaches south of LA.

To look at him, you wouldn’t believe he’d ever fired a weapon in his life.

Clean, Mr. Clean, was from some South Bronx sh*thole, and I think the light and space of Vietnam really put the zap on his head.

Then there was Phillips, the Chief.

It might have been my mission, but it sure as sh*t was the Chief’s boat.

-The Rolling Stones, Satisfaction.
-All right!

Work out, Clean!

Get down, Bubba!

Hang on, Lance!

Get down, Bubba!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

He was one of those guys that had that weird light around him.

You just knew he wasn’t gonna get so much as a scratch here.

Don't you think it's a little risky for R&R?

If I say it's safe to surf this beach, Captain, it's safe to surf this beach!

Man, the bullshit piled up so fast in Vietnam, you needed wings to stay above it.

It's a tiger!

Tiger, man! It's a tiger!

You're in the as*h*le of the world, Captain!

I'm an American. Yeah.

An American civilian. Hi, Yanks.

He's a poet warrior in the classic sense.

Sometimes you'll say hello to him, right, and he'll just walk right by you and he won't even notice you.

And then suddenly he'll grab you, he'll throw you in a corner and he'll say, "Do you know that 'if' is the middle word in 'life'?

"If you can keep your head "when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, "if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you..."

I'm a little man. I'm a little man. He's a great man.

"I should have been a pair of ragged claws "Scuttling across the floors of silent seas."

Stay with the boat.

Don't go without me, okay?

What are they gonna say about him?

"He was a kind man. He was a wise man.

"He had plans. He had wisdom." Bullshit, man!

Am I gonna be the one that's gonna set them straight?

Look at me. Wrong!

Thanks for noticing me.

Oh, bother!

Oh, bother!
