Col. Sherman T. Potter : [reading from an Army manual, to three visiting Korean orphans] You sure you want more of this story? You really don't understand. You want more?
[the children show their full attention]
Col. Sherman T. Potter : You do want more. Okay. Here we go.
[In a singsong, storyteller voice]
Col. Sherman T. Potter : "Field stripping, cleaning and routine maintenance of Garand rifles, Section 22! Repeated disassembly and assembly causes excessive wear of parts and will eventually reduce the accuracy of the weapon. See Figure 57." Oh! Pictures and everything.
[shows the pictures]
Col. Sherman T. Potter : "To disassemble piece into above groups place butt against left thigh, sights to the left. With thumb and forefinger of right hand, pull downward and outward on rear of trigger guard. Swing trigger guard out as far as it will go and remove trigger housing assembly."
[the children have fallen asleep. He tucks them in]
Col. Sherman T. Potter : And so they lived happily ever after.
