[Hank and Cotton are forced to the edge of a cliff in the forest while being pursued by Vietnam veterans who are berserk from PTSD]
[sighs] I'm sorry, dad. It was a bad idea to try to get everyone together. I guess I just...
GOD...DANG IT, Hank! Don't apologize! You did everything right... I screwed up. Sometimes you can do everything right and still lose; it ain't your fault. You gave it everything you had. That's all I ever asked of my men. Thanks for trying soldier.
[both men smile at each other, the Vietnam vets snap out of it and start crying]
That's all we ever wanted to hear; 'You did your best [sniffles] thanks for trying.'
Well I gotta say I'm surprised you fellas are as good as you is. [pause] Shoot, you captured Cotton Hill, the whole Nazzy army couldn't do that. As commanding officer of the local VFW Post, I would be honored to have you fellas join our organization. On the one condition: that you stop all this GOT DANG BAWLING!
We'll uh... we'll do our best, colonel.
[Cotton salutes the vets which they promptly return. Cotton then sees Hank smiling at him]
Oh, what're you smiling about? Oh, you think you're getting your propane bill paid? Well, you ain't! You're in a long line behind cable, hooch, and scooch. [goes to the One-armed Vet, Hank is still smiling]You ever get shot?
I got a metal plate in my head.
No kidding?! I got no shins!
