Red: Leo, I don't understand how you could go from decorated war hero to hippie degenerate.
Leo: Well, it all started the day I got back to the States.
[flashback:]
Leo: [v.o.] My buddy and I were saying goodbye.
Army Buddy: What are you gonna do now that the war is over, Leonard?
Young Leo: First I'm going back home to work in my dad's pharmacy for a bit and then it's off to medical school. See you, pal.
Leo: [v.o.] And then these jazz musicians pulled up in a car.
Jazz Musician: Hey, soldier. Do you need a ride?
Young Leo: No, it smells kind of funny in there.
Jazz Musician: [chuckles] Don't worry, kid. You'll get used to it.
[present:]
Leo: And that's the last thing I remember until you poured me this cup of coffee.
