It was when
they gave us the chocolate bars.
And the extra smokes.

'Cause when brass is nice to you,
means you're about to get fucked.
No shame in being afraid.
But Zeke
Hell, Zeke weren't afraid of nothin'.
[explosions]
[tense music crescendoes, stops]
[commander] Tonight, gentlemen,
you will be threading a needle.
A strike of critical importance
to the war effort
on a well-protected target.
Command has determined a single bomber
has the best chance of evading detection,
and you're the finest crew we've got.
So you're flying into France alone.
You'll have a fighter escort
across the Channel, but that's it.
And your target is a church
just south of the German border.
Anyone got a problem with that?
Not if it's a Protestant church, sir.
Just another target, sir.
[clears throat]
Sir, so, uh, who's the accountant?
[commander] Let me introduce you
to Mr. Fuck You, Don't Ask.
And for the duration of the mission,
this man is in charge.
Name's Coombs.
[tense music playing]
Come on. Just bricks
and mortar, Preacher.
Show some respect, will ya?
It's a house of God.
[scoffs] No sane person
can doubt the hereafter.
[scoffs] We're supposed to be
taking orders from this guy?
What a load of malarkey.
I believe in what I can see and touch,
and maybe half of what I hear.
There's enough real shit to worry about
without inventing fairy tales.
In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Aw, come on. You too, Tap?
[Tap] Raised in it.
[Zeke sighs] One born every minute.

To realize we don't really know
what this world is made of
or our place in it.
But there wasn't nothing I could say
to make it go down any easier.
So I just kept my mouth shut and
[panting]
let Zeke keep getting religion.
