That reminds me. I was coaching in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who was a terrible 'bator, you know, couldn't control himself. He'd get deliberate penalties just so he could go over in the penalty box all by himself and I'll be d*@&ed if he wouldn't... you know...

What do you think of farmers? You think they're saints? Hah! They're foxy beasts! They say, "We've got no rice, we've no wheat. We've got nothing!" But they have! They have everything! Dig under the floors! Or search the barns! You'll find plenty! Beans, salt, rice, sake! Look in the valleys, they've got hidden warehouses! They pose as saints but are full of lies! If they smell a battle, they hunt the defeated! They're nothing but stingy, greedy, blubbering, foxy, and mean! God damn it all! But then who made them such beasts? You did! You samurai did it! You burn their villages! Destroy their farms! Steal their food! Force them to labour! Take their women! And kill them if they resist! So what should farmers do?

Don't you ever say that again about your fathers, because they are not cowards. You think I am brave because I carry a gun; well, your fathers are much braver because they carry responsibility, for you, your brothers, your sisters, and your mothers. And this responsibility is like a big rock that weighs a ton. It bends and it twists them until finally it buries them under the ground. And there's nobody says they have to do this. They do it because they love you, and because they want to. I have never had this kind of courage. Running a farm, working like a mule every day with no guarantee anything will ever come of it. This is bravery. That's why I never even started anything like that... that's why I never will.

You're not gonna die on the planet, Guy.

 

I'm not? Then what's my last name?

 

It's, uh, uh - -I don't know.

 

Nobody knows. Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in.

 

Guy, you have a last name.

 

DO I? DO I? For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"! Mommy... mommy...
