hey, David and I have kissed and made up--or at least made up---so here I yam again.
SPOILER                                                                                                                                                                                                             
Fact: Both Sarge ande Bruno would have been ordered to take two weeks' sick leave, and would not be allowed to work on the case--Sarge as  Coop's father, Bruno as his partner (without any knowledge of their true relationship). It is possible that Bruno wouold be allowed to do desk work, but  everyone knew they were close friends, so, no.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Jimmy:...Or the CEO of Bechtel?                  [

                   Lines of Communication

             http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3377092/1/

From the point of view of the rookie Jimmy takes out...the night he doesn't take Coop

    Oh--that's me, twistedude.

milomorris:
I really enjoyed Lines of Communication. I hope there is more of this story to come.

The author's notes at the end of Lines of Communication mention the prayer "Praised be God, and not our strength for’t" (Psalm 115, v1)--which Macpherson paraphrases in his head when he hears that dispatch did not catch Coops final words--is from Shakespeare's Henry V. I cannot recall the Olivier Henry V which I saw in high school, but I do remember 1989 Kenneth Brannaugh's film version. The prayer was cleverly rendered in the form of a spirit-stirring chorus in Latin "Non Nobis Domine" composed by Patrick Doyle. The sound quality isn't great, but you can hear it along with moments from the film at: .

Companyofmen:
Oh, that's so beautiful--I don't care if it was written for the movie or not! (The hell with the 15th century, anyway!)

HEY---after 50 viewings (of Olivier's Henry V!)--I just realized: "Praised be God and not our strength for't" IS a paraphrase of "Non Nobis, domine, non nobis; sed nomini tuo da gloriam") Er, thanks...

People think I see the same movie over and over to catch the subtle nuances--I'm just figuring out whatr's going on!
\
Of coursde, it's Shakespeare's paraphrase, not Olivier's or Brannaugh's


Oh, it's just me, twistedude, again...

Jimmy: Did anyone ever tell you how great you look in black and white?.
