Mrs. Kovic You didn't shoot women and children! What are you saying?

Ron Kovic That was the war, communism, the insidious evil! They told us to go.

Mr. Kovic Go to your rooms. Go to your ROOMS!

Mrs. Kovic THE HELL WITH YOU!!!

[To Ron]

Space Race Reflections and National Pride

Ron Kovic Why did the Russians beat us into space, Dad?

Mr. Kovic Well, the Russians, they don't even bother feeding their people. They put all their money into weapons and things like that.

Ron Kovic But we're supposed to be the best, right, Dad?

Mr. Kovic You bet we are, but we've been pretty stupid too. We put the Russians back on their feet after World War II and they took Hungary, Poland, half of Europe - and they still want more.

Mrs. Kovic Communism is an insidious evil, Ronnie. They don't believe in God and if we don't watch out, they're gonna take over this country someday.

Ron Kovic But don't people know? Why don't we stop them? We're supposed to be the best. We can't let them take over our country, Dad, what's wrong?

Mr. Kovic Well, people are scared of em... I think everybody's scared of em these days.

Ron Kovic I'm not. I'm not scared of em! I hate the Communists. I really hate them. We're gonna come back and beat them someday.
