Grumpy: Now that the Japs know we are here we need to get ready for the attack.

Allen: Grumpy, your back is a mess from schrapnel if you don't get it cleaned up soon you'll get those jungle sores that never heal.

Bill: Yeah, head back to the beach while you can still walk to get cleaned up and hurry back. If you let those wounds get infected I'll have to carry you down that trail.

Grumpy: OK, I'll go. but you galoots need to improve this position. I won't be gone very long.

Murphy: The first thing we need to do is lay Jimmy to rest, I can't stand to see him like that.much longer.

Grumpy: Jimmy, I'm sorry I have to leave you like this.
