[entering bunker] Oh God! Oh my god, I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die naked in a hole in the ground [notices Cherry and Lila] with Sandra Dee and Eva Gabor.

Ahh, McMurphy it's too hot to work so hard.
What?
Not liking me. You're working way too hard at it.
It's not hard, it's a labor of love.
Can't be heaven, you're here.
Now I know you'll be alright.
Ow, I thought nurses were supposed to make you feel better.
Except doctors. Doctors we make miserable here.
Now I'm miserable.
Let's get into suits and helmets. You'll have to dress me.
You love saying that.
True. I do.
When I'm frightened I say a name over and over. It calms me.
Any name?
No, that's the beauty of it. Something personalized just for you.
Oh, god.
Good, you've got the idea Laurette. I rub my forehead and intone the name: Eleanor Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt…
Ahh, God!
Now you got it, but many times.
Janis Joplin, Janis Joplin…
I'm not leaving.
Look, this is a live mortar, it could go. Two dead's enough.
What if it doesn't, huh?
Well, then I'm a hero!
Without me?
DJD.J.
From? From… well, there's an interesting concept. Like, we're here and there's this other place, so if you're in – you're out, or by, or of, or to for, with, at about around. Keep the faith girls.
There is something definitely wrong with that young man.
What was your first clue?
CIC.I.D.
I read eyes.
Oh, well, I guess I should have worn my dark glasses.
See that guy over there? He's a C.I.D. Looking for deserters.
BBoonie
He freaked Beckett. Told him black guys never desert.
Is that true? How come?
KKim
They get killed first.
What's going on? Hey c'mon you know sometimes when things are rough it helps to just talk.
It does?
Sure.
How?
Well, for instance: today hasn't been that great of a day for me, right? And if I just carried it around not get it off my shoulders than tomorrow I'll wake up and it'll be worse. You know, like, Natch will still be gone… and I'll wonder for how long… I... I'll worry about him all day… wonder why I put him off for so long… and that day will go by, all the wounded men, men I don't know… so young so damaged, so much pain… away from people who care about them or even know them. And there was this one man I…. did care about or could've maybe even…. Love… and didn't.
[looking more depressed] Thanks for coming by Mc. M. it really helped.
I need to buy a passport.
It's not that simple.
Nothing's simple here, is it?
You're learning. Too fast.
What's the matter with these guys anyway?
CIC.I.D.
They all crossed a line. They broke a bond. Now they can't be trusted. You see, now they'd do anything. They'd drag anybody down who tries to help them. Drag them straight to hell.
I thought that's where we were.
Come on.
What?
A drink
Is that your solution for everything?
Yes.
RRick
I didn't ask her to come here.
She loves you. She thinks you're wonderful.
RRick
She loves me…
Yeah, she's getting over it.
RRick
She loves me. She doesn't even know me.
I'd say she figured that last night.
Is your brother really nasty?
You got a brother. You know what that's like.
Not really. I was 9 when Rick joined the Corps.
How old is he now?
28… ah, 29 in two months.
He's a man….
Of course he's a man. What did you think?
I don't know I guess I thought he was a kid, like you.
