sources at the CIA... that confirms the cessation of hostilities... The CIA. I thought they let us out too easily. The war's over. It's over. I saw it on television. I have to sell my house. The war is not over. I saw it on TV. That's what you hired me for. The war isn't over until I say it's over. This is my picture. This is not the CIA's picture. You think you're in a tight spot now? Try making The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Three of the horsemen died. Hear what he's saying? Three of the horsemen died... two weeks before the end of principal photography. This is nothing. This is just Act One, "The War." We really do need an Act Two, so we work. Act Two. You know what it's like? The Japanese. In the caves. - Go on. - Okinawa. They didn't believe the war was over. We have a guy who doesn't believe... We have an American serviceman. A brave American serviceman is left behind. A hero. I can't believe it. What was I thinking? We had a war. We forgot the hero. You can't have a war and not have a hero. It's like we sent a Christmas card... and left out the... What do you call it? - Fruitcake. - There you go. Let's work. We got a guy who's left behind, so... This is terrific. This is lucky this happened. He was left behind, just discarded... like an old shoe. That's good. What's good? What did I say? - Shoe. - Old shoe? It's just instinct. Get me the Pentagon... a list of people in all military special programs. "Left behind like an old shoe." That is good. I want to talk to Johnny. What is it? The war is over. We're going to need a new song. It should be a song about a shiny shoe... a black patent shoe... a good old shoe. I was on my way to get drunk. You get drunk, but I need a good old shoe song. A ballad of loss... - Want to help me? - Redemption. Loss and redemption is very good. Shit. What key do you want it in? I don't know keys. People here are depressed because the war just ended. Please give me a new song. I got him. King, Pentagon. Take it. I need a list of military special programs. Bottom of the ninth. They don't know who they're playing with. They don't shut down our picture. You people gonna be long? Otherwise, I'll put away the equipment. I don't know what I'm doing. I think I'm supposed to be writing a song. What kind of song? Is there anybody there named... Schumann? - Schuster? - Schumacher. I got a great idea. Old shoe, new shoe. Daddy had a hound dog... used to call him Blue. Follow me 'round... stick to me like glue. His favorite thing to play with... used to be a good ol' shoe. Wait a minute. Used to be. You hit that 16-16. Well, I wish I had a woman... who was half as good and true. Anybody here know Morse code? What you gonna do? Give me the fax. Sergeant William Schumann, U.S. Army... serial number 2131284262. Good ol' shoe... Here's the deal. Good OI' Shoe. Whatever you walk in... he will get you through. He's in a sweater... and he's... We drop him behind enemy lines. He's trapped. The sweater. - In the sweater. - Good. Is there a way we can make it sound old and scratchy... with, like, a hiss? With an old label. I see where you're going. Stand up straight and tall... the way he taught you to. I'll write a speech. I'll help you with the speech. The president reveals that William Schumann... was trapped behind enemy lines. This is good. Heartfelt. Touching. People will weep. Soul of a good ol' shoe. He might even get to heaven... on the soul of his good ol'... shoe. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Огонь, вода и... медные трубы на английском - текст Элина, словно меня и не было на английском - текст Выжившие на английском - текст Вкус зелёного чая после риса на английском - текст Девочки хотят повеселиться на английском |
