Commodore Ross: Whoa!
Son, I don't know if you'll understand what I am about to say.
This is "Rosalyn."
You damage her you damage me.
And I will make you walk all 12.6 light-years back to Fat Anthony's Guitar Parlor in Shreveport, Louisiana, to repair a single nick.
General Oliver Radford: We wouldn't want that, now, because I'd have to make him walk all the way to Country Dick's Guitar Shop in Austin, Texas.
Ensign Sangers: We're all secured here, sir!
Commodore Ross: Country Dick's! Oh, man. It's been a long time!
General Oliver Radford: That night in Galveston. We were bombed.
Commodore Ross: I drove those women away singin' "The Ballad of Ira Hayes."
General Oliver Radford: You would have driven anybody away, after six times in a row.
Speakin' of which: I was drivin' through Arizona a few years ago. I was with my people, the Navajo, and... I bought this off a guy on the Pima reservation. Claims it's an old letter signed by Ira Hayes, that he wrote at Iwo Jima. I doubt if it is, but I thought about you, and - Hell, I'd like to think it is.
I've been wondering about Hayes a lot. First Pima Indian to become a Marine paratrooper. Helped raise the flag at Iwo Jima.
Became a hero for a country that... had massacred Native Americans.
They say he drowned in a mud puddle. Drunk. Did he ever feel he had been used? That he'd done the right thing? Would he have done it the same way again, if he had a chance?
Commodore Ross: Too bad the dead don't get a chance to redeem themselves.
Is there something that's troubling you because of your new appointment?
You are now the highest-ranking Native American officer in the world.
Although it's hard for me to imagine you in charge of anything... called "intelligence."
General Oliver Radford: The enemy seems to know our every move in preparation for Roundhammer.
We don't know if it's surveillance or if there is a traitor amongst us.
Therefore, our mission here - ultra-compartmentalized - will alter that situation.
Once it's executed, Operation Roundhammer is a go.
Commodore Ross: How much can you tell an old friend?
General Oliver Radford: I can only tell you the details of the mission.
Just four people in the whole world know the entire plan.
