7 Or a house,
8 Or much of anything else,
9 aBecause the capitalist system is so selfish,
10 bAnd causes little people to get it in the neck,
11 No matter how much they've contributed to society,
12 cEven if what they've contributed is the best years of their lives.
CHAPTER 341 Not that all the movies will be gloomy in the years after Hollywood's defeat of the Nazis and the Nips,
2 dBecause it will be discovered that there were certain battles and even certain branches of the armed forces that John Wayne wasn't in yet,
3 And so he'll have to be a Seabee,
4 And a pilot,
5 And an admiral,
6 And he'll have to keep fighting World War II until everyone is satisfied that it's safe for their favorite stars to get into the war too,
7 Which they will do,
8 So that there will be millions and millions of World War II movies,
9 eWhich will cover everything completely,
10 Including every theater and front and battle and nation you could ever think of,
11 Not to mention every star you could ever think of,
12 Including fBurt Lancaster, who will get into the war at gPearl Harbor and fight them on the beaches and everywhere else too, from here to eternity, until he finally starts the hFrench Resistance and single-handedly saves the greatest art treasures of France from the Nazis,

13 And iJames Cagney, who will be jAdmiral Halsey for as long as it takes to beat the Nips in the South Pacific,
14 And kGregory Peck, who will be lDouglas MacArthur right up to the moment when the general does his big fadeout, except for when he takes time out to help mAnthony Quinn and nDavid Niven drive the Nazis out of Greece,
15 And even oFrank Sinatra, who-being a lot smaller than John Wayne-will actually die in World War II, at Pearl Harbor and in Germany and maybe even in the South Pacific too,
16 But not before he has slaughtered millions and millions of Nazis,
17 Played by pMaximilian Schell,
18 Not to mention millions and millions of Nips,
19 Played by qToshiro Mifune,
20 And Hollywood is once again safe for democracy,
21 Which won't be all bad for John Wayne,
22 rBecause when everybody else starts helping out in World War II, it will free up John to go back and make more westerns,
23 Just to make sure that there isn't a territory,
24 Or an Indian war,
25 Or a range war,
26 Or a western law enforcement agency,
27 That didn't have John Wayne in it,
