- Ernie Holland: You don't understand, Julie. There's a war going on down there. That kid could have shot me or any other cop in the back. I saw it happen a dozen times in 'Nam. A little kid would come out in the road, wait for a patrol to pass, then BAM. I couldn't afford to take that chance, not so long as I thought he had a gun.
