Get in there!
Spyglass, this is cobra one.
Open bravo south. Over.
You bitches!
You bad man!
You got to shoot them in the
head!
You torture me... I torture you!
12-hour rotations.
Suicide watch every 3 minutes.
Do not let that repetition lower
your guard.
That's exactly what these guys
are looking for.
You got to remember... some of
these dudes have been locked up
in here for eight years.
They've been in here before some
of you were even in high school.
They know the procedure better
than you do.
They will test you, and they
will best you.
And make no mistake about it...
This is a war zone.
Now, they ain't using roadside
bombs, and we're not using
f-16s.
This is still a war zone.
Now... some of you might think
you're here to prevent them from
leaving.
You're not.
The walls do that for us.
You are here to prevent them
from dying.
Yes?
Uh, how often do we move the
prisoners?
Detainees.
What?
You will refer to them as
"detainees."
You will not call them
"prisoners."
You all got that?
No exceptions.
De-tai-nees.
Why can't we call them
prisoners?
Prisoners are subject to the
geneva convention... detainees
are not.
Rec yard is right down there.
Showers are right beside 'em.
Unless they're going to medical,
being transferred... that's it.
That's their world.
Is that door shut?
Good.
This... this is your world.
No detainees back here.
On your right, gun sally.
Remember, on the walk, the only
weapon you have is your radio.
Don't be afraid to use it.
Over here, this is our security
command or observation... our
eyes and ears on the whole
block.
So if you find yourself going up
against an uncooperative
detainee, remember you're being
watched.
Last but not least, the mess
hall.
Like most places on earth, the
chicken fingers are the only
thing worth eating.
Hard to fuck those up.
And don't bother telling me the
coke's flat 'cause I already
fucking know.
Echo one, cobra one,
charlie bronson.
I'll say again.
Hold on... the natives is
getting restless.
Over.
Roger, echo one.
Charlie bronson, echo one.
Oscar mike, over.
"Charlie bronson's" our brevity
code for an irf... that's
initial reaction force.
It's a four-man team called in
when shit hits the fan on the
walk.
Anybody feel like getting their
feet wet?
Listen. All you need to worry
about is his right hand, okay?
Each of us takes one.
Leg, leg, arm, head.
Don't worry about nothing else.
You just keep your eye on his
right hand, and you gain control
of it... got it?
Roger.
And stay behind me.
Let us get the rest of him
under control.
Hold up. Hold up.
No names on the block.
Yeah.
Okay?
Yeah.
You can talk to 'em, but do
not let these guys know anything
about you.
Do not let them get inside your
head.
You got it?
Yeah.
All right, grab our shields.
Let's go.
Spyglass, pop 1-9.
Stay tight.
Stay tight, all right?
We got this.
Detainee, get back!
Get back, detainee!
Get back!
Get him pinned up.
Let's go.
Go!
Come on.
Private, give me those cuffs!
Shit!
Get your ass down!
Ohh!
You piece of shit!
Get his arm back!
Get him on...
Get down, you piece of shit!
Get his other hand.
Get the fuck up.
Out of here... get him out of
here.
That's it... get down.
All right, pull that strap
down.
You want his hand all the way
secure.
Make it as tight as you can.
Check his waist.
Check the belt around his
waist.
Check that side.
We don't want this guy going
anywhere on us.
Let's roll him out.
Welcome to gitmo.
Oh, jackson, did you copy
those dvds for me?
And when exactly was I
supposed to do that?
I mean, I had c.o. standing over
my shoulder all day.
Dude, what the fuck?
Johnson is, like, up my ass
about getting it back.
Copy that shit for me.
Wait.
Don't you got kids, anyway?
Why don't you...
Yeah.
You ass.
So, what... I can't watch
porn?
Are you telling me your dad
didn't have a stack of nudie
mags?
He'd to have something to put
over your mom's face.
Oh!
Oh, you're so...
That's cold.
That's cold as ice.
You all right?
Yeah. I'm good.
Thanks.
Yo, what was that irf like?
Loud.
Shit.
You didn't think I could
handle it?
No, that's not what I'm
trying to say.
You know, I just didn't think
you'd want to.
I got to say, of all the
companies I've rotated through
here, I never had someone get
their ticket punched on the
first day.
Just be glad it wasn't a shit
cocktail.
What's a shit cocktail?
What the fuck do you think
that is, rico?
Hey, cole, what happened?
Uh.
We... we followed two other guys
in, and, um, I was on the left
arm.
It was my only thing, and I
went...
Pop! She got an elbow right
to the lip... knocked her mask
clean off.
Ohh, does it hurt?
Yeah, it fucking hurts.
It looks pretty bad.
Did medical check it out?
It's fine.
You know what it looks like?
It looks like you got herpes.
Hey, no.
Oh, shit!
It kind of does.
You guys. No.
You're not gonna get any on
the island now, cole.
Fuck that... I'd hit it,
anyway.
What do you say, cole?
Well, then, I really would
get herpes.
Ohh!
Thank you!
She got you...
Oh, damn. Whoo!
Mom?
Oh!
Honey, how are you?
Well, things are fine.
Um, the base is real nice.
There's a subway.
A subway?
A subway restaurant, mom.
Oh!
Yeah. And is that your room?
Yeah.
Can I see it?
How is everything back home,
mom?
Oh. Nothing much ever happens.
Back here... nothing as.
Exciting as what you're doing,
i'm sure.
It is what it is.
I don't know. I, um...
Honey, you can't just leave.
Him hanging and expect him to.
Be there when you get back.
I'm not leaving him hanging,
and I told you I'm not coming
back.
I'm going on another deployment,
remember?
All right.
So, how about on the base?
Have you met anyone down there?
Mom, seriously, stop.
I'm not dating an army guy, and
I did not join the military to
find a husband.
Oh, yeah.
Oh!
Look who wants to say hello.
Say hi, scribbles.
Look who it is!
Say hi, scribbles.

Do you want a book?
Hey, calm down.
Calm down.

I can't understand what...
Yo, haji!
Chill the fuck out.
I'll take that book, but you
give it to me.
All right, all right.
Chill out.
I got this.
Did I do something wrong?
No. These guys just don't
like girls.
It's an arab thing.
You want me to take over?
No. It's okay.
I can handle it.
All right.
Suit yourself.
Do you know those books?
What about them?
Do you like them?
You were watching the books.
I'm asking you a question.
What do you want from the
cart?
Do you have the new
harry potter book?
No. This is not the new
harry potter book.
This is the old one.
I already read this one.
I want the last book.
Which one's that?
The last book?
It's, you know... you... you see
that book there?
It has no cover on it, huh?
Uh-huh, yes.
That book... it used to have a
cover.
I remember I read this cover,
you know, when it has a cover on
it.
It was saying that harry potter,
it has seven book, you know?
You guys only have six book.
Huh?
I don't know what to tell
you... I...
You know how long I'm asking
for this book?
No, you don't.
You're new.
Two years.
Imagine, two years I'm asking
you guys to give me this last
book.
You know what happens at the end
of book six?
No.
I...
You know, me, always, always
thinking that snape is a bad
guy, okay?
Then I was thinking, no,
actually, he is not a bad guy...
He is the good guy.
Then after I read the book six,
I don't know what to think now.
Do you want this book or not?
You're not listening, huh?
I read this book...
No, no.
You are not listening tome.
10 times.
I read this book.
I want the new book.
I'm telling you we don't have
it.
It ain't here.
What we have is on the cart.
What do you want?
Give me the "azkaban"
instead.
Is that one of these arab
books?
"Prisoner of azkaban," book
number three.
Yeah.
Here you go.
Hey. What... what...
What else do you got?
I got books, and I got
newspapers.
Use your eyes.
I'm using my eyes.
That newspaper is two months
old.
Now, why do I have to know the
news for two months old?
So, you're good then?
Hold on your horses, huh?
No one is going nowhere here...
At least, I'm not.
What is that picture?
That book.
No, no, go.
Go, go.
Go.
Too much.
Go back.
Uh-huh.
What is it?
"My antonia."
Is it a good book or...
I don't know.
I haven't read it.
Okay. Just tell me what the
cover says, on the back.
"In 19th century nebraska",
the spirited daughter of an
"immigrant..."
Nebraska?
You said... what was it?
It... it's a place in
america.
Okay. Uh-huh.
That... what kind of place is
this?
Nebraska?
Flat.

asshole.

Huh? Happy me.
I'm not going crazy... not me!
At 2100, detainees on
charlie block complained of a
foul-smelling odor coming from
ventilation.
Maintenance was called.
At 2200, detainee 9-1-2 was
found with seven strings of
different colors.
He appeared to be weaving them
together, possibly to form a
weapon.
At 0500, detainee 4-9 was
transferred to medical for pain
in the abdomen.
Diagnosis was constipation.
We have 3-6 moves scheduled,
3-8 moves completed.

Always, it's like that. Why?
I don't know why you guys...
You don't like to talk with us.
You and us... we are both stuck
here.
It is boring for both of us.
And you and me got nothing
to say to each other.

books.
I thought you only read
the qur'an.
The qur'an, yes.
We... I-I've read it
one million times.
You know what?
Ehan, there in 108... he has
memorized it, the whole book.
Hey, ehan!
Tell something to blondie from
the qur'an.
I think he's trying to tell
you to leave me alone.
Ehan!
Hey, blondie.
You know, I read your bible,
too.
My opinion about bible is the
first half of the book... it is
very good.
It has armies, plenty of magic,
which I like very much... things
like that.
But, you know, the second
half... it has some magic, but
not too much.
It is boring.
Well, you don't diss my
holy book... I won't diss yours.

Where's your qur'an?
Are you gmng me some water,

Okay, you bring me the water...

machine, sir.
You think they're gonna give
him one?
Why not?
It would be easier than this.
Yeah, but it'd take forever
to get down here.
Are you kidding me?
They'll just take ours.
Who's winning?
You guys... that's who.
I don't know about that.
You got your elliptical machine.
Yeah.
You gonna use it?
No.
No one will use it.
Why'd you demand it?
I didn't demand this...
Mahmoud did.
Why'd he demand it?
I don't know.
Go ask mahmoud.
Maybe because he's an asshole?
So what's the count today?
Oh. I've only gotten to
12 kicks today.
Do you know what I hear today?
Well, someone says sabir in
"a" block... they said he hit
40 last week.
40?
Yeah. That's what they say.
I don't know.
I'm not so sure Because, well, no
one has seen this, you know...
Only the guards, and those
guards... they wouldn't say.
You think you can beat 40?
I don't know.
I still think that he's made
this up, you know.
I tell you what... you beat
40, I'll vouch for you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
2...3...4...5...
6...7...8...
You're a long way away from
40.
What was that?
8.
Are you sure?
Wasn't that 48?
I'm sure.
You saw 48.
I didn't.
I mean, come on.
Those guys... they don't believe
you, anyway.
Not gonna lie for you.
You know, compliant detainees
get to play on a real field
together?
Uh-huh. They are lucky.
If you stop acting up,
they'll transfer you.
You know that, right?
Mm-hmm.
And you don't care?
It's those guys who don't
care, blondie.
You know, they don't care about
anything, just the things that
make their life easier.
You guys always say, "follow"
these rules... we will let you
"watch tv," huh?
But if I follow your rules, what
does it means?
It means that I'm agreeing that
you have the right to give me
rules, huh?
Well, you don't.
You don't have the right to give
me rules.
So, me... I never agree to
follow your rules... never.
You know, maybe you think I'm
stupid for this.
No, you're not stupid.
No. I mean, maybe you're
right, but...
You're definitely not stupid.
You went to university.
You're making fun of me, huh?
Yeah, you're making fun...
You're laughing at me, huh?
Come on. Look at you.
You're laughing at me, huh?
What's that about?
Nothing.
They don't like you talking
to me, huh?
Private...
Get over here.
Neither do they, huh?
Yes, corporal?
What were you just talking
about over there?
With ali?
No, with detainee 471.
Nothing.
Uh-huh. All right.
Well, if you ain't talking about
nothing, then you don't need to
be talking, right?
Hey!
Hey, I did 20 kicks!
Hey! I did 20 kicks!
Did you see that, blondie?
I swear I did 20!
I swear I did!
I'm gonna need your help on
the showers today.
The showers?
I know you don't want to, but
all my extra men are dealing
with some dickhead in delta pod
that decided to cover his
entire cell in poop.
I can't work showers.
They won't even look me in the
eye.
They think they're gonna shower?
Well, that's their problem.
I mean, at least it'll speed
things up.
S.O.P. Clearly states we are
not...
I know what s.O.P. Says.
What's the matter?
Can't handle it?
You want me to get one of my
other guys, pull him away from
doing whatever the hell he's
doing, so he can do it for you?
No.
Forget her.
Get your ass in there.
Let's go, skippy.
Get undressed.
Clock's ticking.
Get your pants off.
And shorts off.
Come on.
Get your fucking shorts off.
Get your fucking shorts off, or
I'll call in an irf and we'll
get them to take them off for
you.
Get them off.
You guarding the fence, or you
guarding him?
This is completely out of
line.
Let me ask you something...
Are you a soldier, or are you a
female soldier?
Because I don't have these kind
of problems with soldiers.
You got to watch him.
That's your job.
Look at him.
Hey, cole, I thought that was
you.
What are you doing back here?
Drinking.
No shit.
What's wrong?
You had a bad day or something?
Not particularly.
Not as bad as yours, I hear.
What do you mean?
I heard some detainee just
covered his cell on feces.
Probably wasn't fun.
When... today?
On delta pod?
No, it was just pretty quiet all
day.
Yeah.
Must have been another pod.
No, nothing like that
happened on any of the pods.
If it did, I would've saw it.
Come in, boys!
It's shot time!
That's what I'm talking
about!
Oh, hey.
What do you want?
Jackie chan got one.
Shh! Shh!
I'm not following you here.
[ Soldiers shouting cadences
Private first class cole
reporting as ordered, sir.
At ease.
Have a seat, private.
Candy?
No, thank you, sir.
I've read your report.
I've also spoken to
corporal ransdell.
In your report, you say that you
were escorting a detainee to the
showers after rec... is that
correct?
Affirmative.
And you filed the report
because this was uncomfortable.
Well... no, I-it made him
uncomfortable.
Who?
The detainee.
So you filed against a fellow
soldier because the detainee
was uncomfortable?
It was not the proper way to
treat him, sir.
Did the detainee take a
shower?
Yes, sir.
Sounds like he wasn't that
uncomfortable with it, then.
It was a blatant violation of
standard operating procedure,
which is why I filed the report.
Since you knew what was
happening was against s.O.P.,
what exactly were you doing
there?
I was ordered to be there,
sir.
Corporal ransdell gave you a
direct order?
He had lied about being
shorthanded.
Did he order you, or did he
lie to you?
Sir...
Because it seems to me there'd
be no point to lie to you if he
simply ordered you.
He... he...
And there's nothing going on?
You don't have a personal
relationship with him, nothing
going on outside the wire?
No, sir.
Is that what he told you?
4-7-1, the detainee...
You two are friends.
No, sir.
You're not friendly with him?
No, sir.
You don't talk to him?
We have spoken.
I am... not...
I...
Like I said in my report...
I've read your report.
I know what it says.
I also know what
corporal ransdell says about it.
But what I don't know and will
probably never know is what is
really going on here.
Do you like it here, son?
Sir?
Do you like it here...
In guantánamo bay?
Yes, sir.
It's fine.
I hate it.
This ain't the kind of post a
guy makes his stars on.
Nobody gives you a medal when
you do it right... they just
give you a demotion when you do
it wrong.
My granddad... he flew
25 missions over germany, blew
up a dozen nazi installments.
What do we get?
We get to babysit a bunch of
sheep farmers.
Like I said, I hate it here,
and, yet, here I am.
And do you know why?
I'm here because my commanding
officer told me to come here.
Yes, sir.
The review board will have,
uh, a hearing for both of you
next month.
I didn't do...
You're dismissed.
Yes, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Hey.
How's your enchilada?
It's about as good as it
looks.
I should have went with the
chicken fingers.
Hard to mess those up, right?
Hear about what happened on
delta pod?
What?
Another cocktail?
No. A dude tried to hang
himself last night.
How?
It's not even possible.
We watch these guys 24-7.
No, not a detainee.
It was a... it was a guard.
The dude tied himself off to a
ceiling fan and... get this...
The piece of shit pulled out of
the wall.
Can you believe that shit?
The dude's life got saved by
shitty army contractors.
It's funny, right?
He's lucky.
It's crazy though, right...
That he tried to kill himself?
I mean, I get it.
It's a tough mission, you know.
But what the fuck, man?
It's our fucking job.
You got to get over it, you
know?
Yeah.
I know.
It's got to be hard for some
people, though.
It's...
It's not as black and white as
they said it was gonna be.
What's that mean?
I don't know what he was
expecting, but I'm sure it
wasn't this.
Come on, though.
It's not as bad as that.
A lot of these guys aren't even
that tough.
Exactly.
Makes you feel fucking guilty.
It's like...
Guilty? Come... what the fuck
you got to feel guilty for?
No, man.
Hell, you shouldn't feel guilty
about shit.
These motherfuckers did 9/11,
and now they're in jail...
End of story.
The motherfuckers that did
9/11 died there.
You know what your problem
is?
You've been talking too much to
the fucking translators.
They've gotten all in your head,
and you've forgotten how lucky
you really are.
We could be in iraq right now.
You realize that?
I mean, you'd rather be dodging
cocktails than bullets, right?
No.
Whatever.
10 minutes, faggots.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Hey... you smoke now?
Yeah.
What are you gonna do, cole?
Tell on it?
Based on the detainees'
preferences...
Yo.
What's up?
Here you go.
You've been transferred.
What? Where?
Night shift.
Yeah.
Just, uh, skip tomorrow.
Rotate in on the next.
Your new o.I.C. Will come get
you.
It's all there.
Why?
Shit, cole.
You know ain't no why in the
army.
Hey. Hey.
Is that clock right?
Yeah.
So... w-where is blondie?
Huh?
Detainee 1-0-8 was heard
singing a song in arabic that
had the english words
"bin laden" in it.
At 1700 hours, detainee 9-1
complained that his chow smelled
rotten.
He was given another meal, which
he said tasted bad.
At 1900, detainee 2-3-5 was
given a water bottle.
He drank it, asked for another,
and proceeded to drink six more
bottles in the span of five
minutes.
He then complained of feeling
bad.
We had 2-5 moves scheduled,
2-8 moves completed.
Atten-hut!
Honor bound.
To defend freedom.
Blondie?
It is you.
Hey, don't... don't get up.
Go back to sleep.
No. No. No.
I-I-I-I can never sleep well...
You know, here, anyway.
I didn't... I didn't know
they kept the lights on all
night.
All day and all night.
How is it that you're here?
I mean, uh, you're a night
guard.
Oh. Um, I'm sorry.
You cannot say.
I-it's okay.
No. Actually, uh...
I snitched on someone.
What... what... what is it...
Snitch?
It's like golden snitch and...
No.
Um, to snitch on someone is,
uh... it's to tell... like,
if someone does something wrong,
you turn them in.
Who... who did you snitch on?
I can't say.
It's moptop, huh?
What... what did he do to you?
You should get some sleep.
See you later.
I'm not gonna tell you what he
did.
Okay.
So, tell me this one... how did
you end up here?
I told you... they reassigned
me.
No, no.
How did you end up here in this
place?
How did you end up here?
Me?
How did I end up here?
I could tell you that I was not
with al-qaeda or a terrorist
or... you wouldn't believe me,
anyway.
Nobody believes me here.
So you're from germany?
Yeah.
You remember.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
From germany, yeah.
Actually, I was, you know, from
bremen.
Do you know the city... bremen?
Bremen?
You don't know?
No. I can't even say it.
Huh? Sprechen sie deutsch?
No speak deutsch?
Mm, dutch?
What?
Nein.
Um, no.
Have you been in germany
before?
No?
No.
No. I'd like to... plan to.
So, tell me... where have you
been?
I mean, you're...
You're probably gonna laugh.
Me? Laugh? No.
At you?
Uh, I-I never laugh at you.
This is my first time out of the
country... I mean, it's pretty
lame, right?
No.
No, it's not.
It's... you're... you're young.
You're very young, and
you're... you're a beginner,
huh?
Yeah.
There are more people on this
base than in my hometown.
Small, huh?
Yeah, tiny... gets smaller
every day.
And is this the reason that
you came here?
Part of it, yeah.
What is the other part?
A lot of reasons.
Um.
I wanted to do something.
You know, I...
I wanted to do something
important.
Yeah.
I understand.
Hey.
Thank you.
It's hard making the switch,
huh?
Yeah, it's all right.
It takes a few days.
Of course, uh, you won't be a
night owl for... for too long,
right?
I guess not.
Or...
I hated the day shift...
Bunch of detainees chatting your
ear off.
I'd hate that.
Thanks for the coffee.
Hey. Are you still awake?
What day is today?
Wednesday.
No, what date is today?
Um, july 14th.
So you're leaving next month?
Yeah.
How'd you know that?
They always change the guards
in august.
So, when... when you leave, will
you sign up again here?
Like, you know, there are guards
here that have been for many
years.
No, I don't think so.
So you want to go to your
home, your... your small town?
No.
What do you want to do, then?
I don't know yet.
Travel, maybe.
Go to bremen.
I don't like this month.
Always these new guards...
Treating us like very bad guys.
They'll learn... like I did.
What did you learn?
Huh?
Tell me.
You must learn something, huh,
when I throw that shit on you...
You learned something, huh?
Or when we're trying to kill
ourselves here, with hunger
strike, you learned something...
Huh?... you said.
So tell me... what is that?
I want to know.
What did you learn?
Only you think you know, but you
know nothing.
You know nothing about me.
You and me...
We are at war.
I don't see it like that.
Then you see nothing.
What is that?
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
If... if you call on your
radio, you're not going to make
it.
You're not going to make it.
Bring it down.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Just don't do anything crazy,
okay?
You think I'm crazy?
No. No, I said just don't...
Don't do anything crazy.
Is this crazy to you?
If you was me, you wouldn't do
this?
Give me one reason why... one.
Maybe to try to not... not
die in this... this fucking
shithole.
I don't like to die in this
shithole!
But one way or another, this is
the place I will die.
Look, you don't know that.
You can't know that.
Ali, things can change.
Things... things can always
change.
You... you can't just, uh...
You can't just fucking give up.
You got to...
Give up, blondie... what is
"give up"?
Three years ago, they took me to
these interrogations.
And one of your guys here, one
of those guys who don't wear
uniform... he told me that I'm
innocent.
He told me that he knows I'm
innocent, but I still cannot go
home...
Because there's no country, no
city, no fucking person in this
planet will take me because I've
been here.
I have no place to go,
blondie.
This is the only thing that can
change something.
Everything okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, everything's fine. Um.
My... my radio's... it's...
It's on the fritz.
Can you get me another one?
Uh, yeah.
Blondie, you...
You are a good guy.
Yeah, thanks.
Am I a bad guy or a good guy
to you?
Ali... it doesn't matter right
now.
It's the only time it
matters.
So you're gonna just...
You're gonna be a martyr?
Is that what you think you're...
You think you're gonna go to
heaven?
That's what you want to do?
I don't believe in this
anymore.
Well, then, why are you doing
this?
Look at me.
You're asking me why do I want
to die, but you don't see that
I'm not even lmng.
You guys control everything.
You tell us what to eat, when to
sleep.
Even when we don't want to eat,
you tell me we must.
It is your life... it is not
ours.
I don't expect you to understand
that.
I-I like you.
I do.
But... but you'll never
understand this.
It's amy.
You keep calling me "blondie,"
but... my name's amy cole from
moore haven, florida.
And I like you, ali.
I really do.
Ah, fuck!
Hey, hey!
Is there a... is there a zoo in
bremen?
What?
When I was a kid, I went to the
zoo with my dad.
It was just outside where we
lived and, uh... it's really
small, one of those zoos where
they keep the animals locked up
in these... these tiny, little
cages, these tiny, little, like,
concrete boxes with tires in
them or something.
I was really excited about
going.
I really wanted to see something
outside my town.
I wanted to be...
I wanted to be so close to
something so wild and...
It just wasn't okay.
I didn't I didn't
like it.
And my dad kept trying to
fucking tell me that it was
okay, that... that this lion
could never go back home
because... because he wouldn't
be able to survive in the wild,
having been locked up for so
long.
Okay. You're trying to tell
me that the zoo people... they
are not guilty.
They have no choice.
No.
I thought they had a choice.
If they had the choice, they
should've given it to him.
They should have let the lion
choose.
You're the new guy, huh?
Tell me... how do you like it
here?
Do you want a book or not?
Hold on your horses,
big ear.
No one here goes anywhere.
At least, I'm...
What... what is that book there,
the big one?
No. No, the b... the big one.
The... the big yellow book!
The big... the yellow big book!
Yes, that... give it to me.
Yeah, give that book.
