Sir, I'd like to say something. We've been through a lot, all of us. We faced the enemy for the first time last night, right in our own backyards. We came together, put all our differences aside and carried on the true spirit of America. I think no matter what happens, what sacrifices we have to face, we can carry forward, like Americans. While we're doing our repairs here, I'm going to hang this wreath on my front door - this symbol of Christmas, this symbol of peace. I just want to remind us all that we're not going to let a bunch of treacherous enemy killjoys ruin our Christmas. [Hangs wreath on door. House falls off cliff]

A line from Ward Douglas [To Betty, before she leaves for the USO.]I don't know what they've told you down at the USO, but you're going to be meeting a lot of strange men. Men in uniform. Boys a long way from home, lonely, desperate. They really have one thing on their minds. Show them a good time.

1 sceneYou shouldn't touch the ordnance at all. But more specifically, you should never pull this hand-operating lever to the rear.
Never.
Do not push a clip of ammunition down into the feed rollers here.
No, sir, never.
You never restore this lever to firing position. Do not make sure that this cover is completely closed.
No, sir.
Never depress operator's foot triggers here, here and at the rear here.
