I don't feel right.

I need to see the doctor now!

He's not available now.

I want to see him now!

He's always too busy.

What's eating you now?

You going off the deep end?

We'll amputate that leg,

you go on like this.

Don't put your hands on me.

I want to be treated like a human being.

I don't want any of this.

Trying to keep me drugged

so I don't know what's going on.

This is a fucking slum.

We take that leg,

you're out in two weeks.

I want my leg.

Why? You can't feel it.

It's my leg. I want my leg.

Can't you understand that?

I want to be treated like a human being.

I fought for my country.

I'm a Vietnam veteran!

I fought for my country!

Shut the fuck up!

I should be treated decent!

Vietnam don't mean nothing to me, man,

or any of these other people. You got it?

You can take your Vietnam

and you can shove it up your ass, you hear?

No! I don't need this!

Hey, you fuck!

Hey! Hey, goddamn you!

I am a Vietnam veteran!

This isn't--

Marvin!

Marvin, now!

Marvin!

What's up? What's up?

Marvin, look!

Oh, fuck!

It's off.

It ain't going to work.

Start!

Washington, get the doctor.

Wait a minute.

O.K. Yeah. All right. I will.

How you doing, Eddie?

Let's see what's wrong with this.

If we don't get this pump working,

they'll cut my leg off. I want my leg.

Do we have another pump?

It's the only one, Eddie.

Ron. It's Ron Kovic.

Sorry, man. Ron.

You--You are a doctor?

It's the Vietnam War.

The government's not giving us the money we need

to take care of you guys.

We're doing our best. It's really too bad.

It's not fair.

I've tried hard to keep this leg.

I've been strapped in this bed for four months

so I could keep this leg.

Maybe I can rig up a substitute.

I'll look in the basement and see what we got.

You're coming back?

Soon.

Let go, Ron. Let go.

We really did try to help Mr. Kovic.

Aah!
