[in the real-life 1964, John Smith smokes outside the Smith home when a Marine recruiters' van stops in front and out comes two Marines in dress blues]
Gentlemen. I'm sorry to say there's been a misunderstanding here. Um, my son Thomas, he's, uh, reconsidered his decision.
Don't worry, Mr. Smith. We'll take good care of your boy.
No, you won't.
Excuse me?
You think I don't know how this ends?
I understand, Mr. Smith. It's only natural to be concerned about your son.
Yes, it is.
I'm sorry, sir. He's 18. He signed the papers.
[as Thomas and Helen step out the door behind him] I won't let you take him.
Dad, it's done. I'm going.
I won't let you.
[embraces Thomas] My boy. I love you.
Bye.
Thomas. Is there anything that I could've said yesterday that would have made you change your mind?
It doesn't matter now. [puts hand on John's shoulder] Be proud of me.
But I've always been proud of you, Thomas.
Goodbye. [walks off with the Marines]
