Bruce Quote #7
Quote from Bruce in Home for Christmas
Bruce: Hey. Can I join your sit-in?
Dean: No. I'm trying to end this war. And you don't care.
Bruce: Okay. That's not true. I want to end the war, too, but I also want to help my guys from my platoon get home safely.
Dean: So you care about them more than you do your own family?
Bruce: Of course not, Dean. But you all are safe here.
I just want to make sure my buddies get to spend next Christmas with their little brothers.
Adult Dean: When Bruce said that, I realized that all those soldiers I saw enlisting today had families that felt the same way as mine. Or worse, like the parents we visited yesterday who lost their son. I still didn't want my brother to go, but at least I could understand why he was going.
Bruce: So... you think we can get home now? I got something I want to show you.
Dean: Okay.
Bruce: Plus, we gotta get that sign back to Kim's room before she knows it's missing, because she'll murder you. [chuckles]
Adult Dean: By the way, my plan to end the war in Vietnam did work. It just took another seven years.

Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: But what if they were right? What if guys don't come back from Vietnam the same? The next morning, I decided I needed to pay extra-close attention to my brother. Never let him leave my sight, examine every word and action to make sure he's sane.
[As Dean reaches for the last rasher of bacon, Kim grabs it]
Kim: Ooh, I'll take that.
Bruce: Mm. I'll take that. [hands it to Dean]
Adult Dean: Bruce brought the balance of power back to the house. Nothing crazy about that.
[As Bill goes to reach for the last biscuit, Bruce grabs it for himself]
Bruce: I'll take that too.
Adult Dean: Nope, he was clearly bat[bleep] crazy.
Quote from Adult Dean
Adult Dean: Yep, that's an electric saw. It was 1968. There were a bunch of kids walking around missing a couple of fingers.
Quote from Cory
Dean: I don't know what you guys are talking about. That's just a movie.
Norman: Nope. Those guys don't come back the same.
Cory: He's right, Dean. My mama's cousin came back from Vietnam, and now everybody says he's on the junk.
Brad: What's "the junk"?
Cory: I don't really know. But whatever it is, it makes your grandma lock up her rings.
