-
The cerebrum has suffered
massive and irreparable damage...
-
He'll never know
what has happened to him...
-
Had I not been sure of this,
I would not have permitted him to live.
-
Where am I?
-
Father? What happened?
-
I need help!
-
What is democracy...
-
What is democracy?
-
It's got something to do
with young men killing each other.
-
When it comes my turn,
will you want me to go?
-
For democracy...
-
any man would give
his only begotten son.
-
It is impossible for
the cerebrated individual
-
to experience pain, pleasure, memory,
dreams, or thoughts of any kind.
-
This young man will be as unfeeling,
as unthinking, until the day he joins you.
-
I don't know whether I'm alive
and dreaming or dead and remembering.
-
How can you tell what's a dream
and what's real when you can't even tell
-
when you're awake
and when you're asleep?
-
Where am I?
-
I can't remember anything
-
can't tell if this is true or dream
-
deep down inside I feel to scream
-
this terrible silence stops me
-
now that the war is through with me
-
I'm waking up... I cannot see
-
that there's not much left of me
-
nothing is real but pain now
-
hold my breath as I wish for death
-
oh please, God, wake me
-
They just went ahead
and chopped off everything...
-
Oh God,
please make them hear me...
-
They won't listen...
-
They won't hear me...
-
If you don't wake me up,
I'll be like this for years.
-
Hear me...
-
back in the womb
that's much too real
-
in pumps life that I must feel
-
but can't look forward to reveal
-
look to the time when I'll live
-
fed through the tube
that sticks in me
-
just like a wartime novelty
-
tied to machines that make me be
-
cut this life off from me
-
hold my breath as I wish for death
-
oh please, God, wake me
-
I feel like a piece of meat
that keeps on living...
-
It will always be like this for me...
-
I can't live like this!
-
please no, I can't...
-
help me!
-
Mother, where are you?
-
Help me, mother.
-
I'm having a nightmare
and I can't wake up.
-
now the world is gone
-
I'm just one
-
oh God help me
-
hold my breath as I wish for death
-
oh, please, God, help me
-
Me lying here...
-
like some freak in a carnival show...
-
He is the armless, legless,
wonder of the 20th century!
-
Death has a dignity all its own...
-
Father...
-
I need help!
-
I'm in terrible trouble
and I need help.
-
Don't you remember
when you were little?
-
How you and Bill Harper
used to string a wire
-
between the two houses
so you could telegraph to each other?
-
You'll remember the Morse code?
-
darkness imprisoning me
-
all that I see absolute horror
-
I cannot live I cannot die
-
trapped in myself
-
body my holding cell
-
It's Morse code...
-
For what?
-
SOS...
-
help.
-
landmine has taken my sight
-
taken my speech
-
taken my hearing
-
taken my arms
-
taken my legs
-
taken my soul
-
left me with life in hell
-
What's he saying?
-
Just kill me...
-
over and over again...
-
kill me.
-
Don't you have some
message for him, padre?
-
He's the product
of your profession...
-
not mine.
-
Kill me...
-
I'm asking you to kill me.
-
Thank you.
-
Father?
-
Each man faces death by himself...
-
alone.
-
Goodbye, father.
-
Inside the man screams.
-
Nobody pays any attention.
-
If I had arms I could kill myself.
-
If had legs I could run away.
-
If I had a voice, I could talk
-
and be some kind
of company for myself.
-
Why don't they
get it over with and kill me?
-
I could yell for help,
but nobody would help me.
-
There's got to be something...
-
I don't see
how I can go on like this.
-
S...O...S...
-
help...
-
me.
-
S...O...S...
-
help...
-
me.
-
keep the home fires burning
-
while our hearts are yearning
