Quotes
[final voiceover as Pug watches Warren sortie at dawn aboard the USS Enterprise]
Victor 'Pug' Henry: O Lord, in a world so rich and lovely, why can your children find nothing better to do than to dig iron from the ground and work it into vast, grotesque engines for blowing each other up? Is it because Abel's next-door neighbor was Cain? Is it because if my enemies make deadly engines then I must do it better, or die? Maybe the vicious circle will end this time. Maybe not. Maybe it will take Christ's second coming to end it. Maybe it will never end. But it is 1941 and I know this: Until the life is beaten out of the monster Hitler, the world cannot move another inch toward a more sane existence. There is nothing to do now, but win the war.
