285 JACK: Over here they live with their chickens and all,
they're just so poor.

286 JO: But they have chickens to live with.

287 JACK: But that ain't progress.

288 DONALD P: What is?

289 JACK: And do you think it's right they charge me twice
as much for cognac as they do a French girl?

290 JO: Your dollar means more.

291 JACK: I'm just a poor American soldier and it isn't right
I should pay more. Anyway I was just sitting
there -

292 DONALD P: Yes, you were sitting there with your lonesome
dollar.

293 JACK: What do you mean? I may be poor but I got more
than one dollar.

294 DONALD P: Not that, what I mean is the United States dollar
is a very lonesome dollar...It's riding wide and
handsome but it's riding all alone. Nobody can
use it. Pretty soon maybe we can't use it.

295 JIM: What do you mean?

296 DONAID P: I mean that our dollar is a lonesome dollar, and if you get kind of lonesome you get to be no good, and if you get to be no good you go kind of bad, and if you go kind of bad you don't get at all. I tell you our fine dollar is just lonesome.

297 WILLIE: Shut up Donald Paul.

298 JO: The worst of everything is it always sounds true -

198a MUSIC: BRIDGE

298b SOUND: TRUCKS MOVING ON AND OFF BACK

299 WILLIE: Well, Brewsie, we got 'em. The order has come.

300 BREWSIE: Yes I know.

301 WILLIE: Hello Jo. We got 'em...

302 JO: Sure we got 'em.

303 WILLIE: We are the boys who are redeployed, in a little boat, on a little shore. It makes me feel funny, kind of funny, nothing but jobs. Well Brewsie, do we like it?

304 BREWSIE: Yes we do like it, but go slow.

305 JANET: (COMING ON) Here we are...We heard you boys were moving out.

306 WILLIE: Where's Pauline?

307 JANET: She stopped to pick you a flower.

308 WILLIE: God bless her for that sweet thought.

309 JANET: Tell me - won't you miss talking when you get home.
You do know don't you that nobody talks like you
boys talked, not back home.

310 JO: Yes, we know.

311 WILLIE: Not Brewsie, he'll talk. Brewsie will talk but we
won't be there to listen. We kind of will remember
that he's talking somewhere, but we won't be there
to listen...There won't be anybody talking where
we'll be.

312 JO: But perhaps they will talk now. Perhaps they will
over there.

313 WILLIE: Not those on the job, they won't. Not those on the
job.

313a MUSIC: UP FULL AND BACK

314 NARRATOR: G.I.s and G.I.'s and G.I.'s and they have made me
come all over patriotic. I was always patriotic.
I was always in my way a Civil War veteran, but in
between, there were other things, but now there are
no other things. And I am sure that this particular
moment in our history is more important than
anything since the Civil War.

314 NARRATOR:

(CTD) We are there where we have to have to fight
a spiritual pioneer fight. You just have to find a
new way, you have to find out how you can go ahead
without running away with yourselves, you have to
learn to produce without exhausting your country's
wealth, you have to learn to be individual and you
have to get courage enough to know what you feel
and not just all be yes or no men, but you have to
really learn to express complication. Go easy, and
if you can't go easy go as easy as you can.

Remember the depression, don't be afraid to look it
in the face and find out the reason why, if you
don't find out the reason why you'll go poor and
how I would hate to have my native land go poor.
Find out the reason why, look facts in the face,
not just what they all say, the leaders, but every
one of you so that a government of the people by
the people for the people shall not perish from
the face of the earth. It won't, somebody else
will do it if we lie down on the job, but of all
things don't stop, find out the reason why of the
depression find it out each and every one of you
and then look: facts in the face. We are Americans.
