Yeah, I didn't get anything in Paris. There was a laundry woman in Britain, but when we came back from Normandy, shit was just... well, we were shipping out again. [Malarkey just raises an eyebrow at him.] Okay, Luz.

A laundry woman? I had a German girl at a far-.... [Luz places his hand upon his cheek remembering what happened] ...Frank was there, I got slapped...lost my pack of Camel to her too. Well, I gave it to her to gain something but I didn't so...yeah, I lost my pack of Camel to her.

I heard. [Said between laughs.] Luz, you'll never change, and you shouldn't.

Shit, that light lipped bastard. He telling everyone the story of how ol' Luz ditched him to get a girl, only to come back a loser? [Luz grinned] What's this? I won't change ya idiot, so you better not change either, got that?

Ya ain't a loser. You just didn't get any.

I'll try, Luz, I'll try.

What difference that that make? I didn't get any. That just makes it worse Malark. [Luz chuckled and nudged Malarkey] You and your fuckin' sarcasm can't die, can't die.

Sorry, Luz. But at least I'm not the only one stuck in this boat now. [He pats Luz on the back with a grin.] Well you and your jokes better not go anywhere either.

'Ey, the only way for me to lose it is if you kill me, all right Malarkey? Hell, I'll die laughing. [Luz grins and rubs Malarkey's back] Bury yourself next to me yeah Malarkey? So I can engrave mine 'dead with stupid' with it pointing at you. AHA~!

Sounds like a deal. Next battle we go to, we'll be foxhole buddies. Make it easier on'em.

Why a foxhole buddy, why not just a simple drinking buddy? I think with the war dying out, we don't have to think about foxholes Malarkey.

Very true. I could use a drinking buddy. Been ages since I was properly drunk.

Hell, all of us haven't been drunk properly in ages. We all need to get drunk enough that we can't tell the difference between me and Major Horton.

Perhaps when we get to our destination.

Of course, and it'll be all on... [Luz pats Malarkey's shoulder] you right Malarkey?

[He laughs.] I'm not agreeing to that.

Aw, come on Malarkey. [He pats the male's back] Do it or... cigarette?

I don't have enough to get the both of us drunk.

Bet you'd have enough if I brought girls to the bar. [Luz jokes]

Oh how little you think of me.

Hey, don't say that Malarkey, I think good about you. [Luz nods with a smile] If I didn't, would I even be here with you? [Luz jokes, he jokes]

You have no choice, Luz. There is a war going on, or have you forgot?

The Germans are bad?!

Who knew, right?

I hope Janovec wasn't shooting our own fuckin' men. Now that isn't funny.

[He frowns.] No, it ain't.
