Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,931 --> 00:00:04,422
T.J., Bragg,
make Towers a balaclava.
2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:05,500
How about heading back?
3
00:00:07,503 --> 00:00:10,495
Don't threaten
a court martial. Because
I'll take you up on it.
4
00:00:10,573 --> 00:00:12,818
What's gotten into you, boy?
I've been up there everyday
with you.
5
00:00:12,842 --> 00:00:14,434
Up there's right.
Way up there.
6
00:00:14,510 --> 00:00:16,603
You have been withdrawn
from the Kamabatchi action.
7
00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:18,203
Because of a movie actor?
8
00:00:18,281 --> 00:00:20,841
I do the flying,
doubles do the crashing.
9
00:00:21,985 --> 00:00:25,785
Ever seen a bigger jerk
in your whole entire life?
Yeah.
10
00:01:58,147 --> 00:02:00,843
NEWSREEL NARRATOR: Rod Towers,movie idol of millions ofAmericans,
11
00:02:00,950 --> 00:02:03,282
follows Clark Gable,
James Stewart,
12
00:02:03,353 --> 00:02:06,880
and a host ofother motion picturestars into combat!
13
00:02:06,956 --> 00:02:08,924
Towers is promoted to
Lieutenant Colonel
14
00:02:08,991 --> 00:02:11,289
and is reassigned
to the South Pacific.
15
00:02:11,728 --> 00:02:15,255
This bright star of Hollywood
is a Marine fighter pilot,
16
00:02:15,598 --> 00:02:19,591
fittingly, he has starredin such World War Iair epics as
17
00:02:19,669 --> 00:02:24,663
Do or Die and
Dawn's Early Light
among other screen classics.
18
00:02:24,741 --> 00:02:28,404
With his promotion,Towers will take commandof a fighting squadron,
19
00:02:28,478 --> 00:02:32,676
and accompanying himto the South Pacific will bea single core film crew
20
00:02:32,749 --> 00:02:37,118
to record his first days incombat againstthe Japanese enemy.
21
00:02:38,054 --> 00:02:39,453
Good hunting, Rod.
22
00:02:42,125 --> 00:02:46,687
I'm not turning the Black
Sheep squadron over to a
Hollywood War Bond salesman!
23
00:02:46,863 --> 00:02:50,731
Now, wait a minute, Boyington
Rod Towers happens
to be Lieutenant Colonel,
24
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,792
I don't care if Washington
has made him a
Lieutenant General.
25
00:02:53,870 --> 00:02:56,031
Lard, I'm going upstairs
with this one.
26
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,876
I'm as high as you go,
Boyington, which puts
you one star short.
27
00:03:03,012 --> 00:03:08,143
Sir, I lost three pilots and
five planes at Kamabatchi
last week.
28
00:03:08,418 --> 00:03:10,818
You have been withdrawn from
the Kamabatchi action.
29
00:03:10,887 --> 00:03:13,651
Because of a movie star.
Take it up with Washington.
30
00:03:13,723 --> 00:03:17,625
Washington, sir, in their
infinite wisdom,
have lost their marbles.
31
00:03:17,727 --> 00:03:20,855
You're wrong, Greg.
Nothing runs
without public relations,
32
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:23,728
including war. In case you
haven't heard,
33
00:03:23,966 --> 00:03:26,366
we've been
getting kicked
around out here.
34
00:03:26,602 --> 00:03:29,765
Home front morale
is scraping bottom.
It needs a shot in the arm.
35
00:03:29,839 --> 00:03:33,866
From a drugstore cowboy
like Towers?
Colonel Towers! Boyington.
36
00:03:33,976 --> 00:03:38,174
Can Colonel Tower even fly
a plane?
Of course he can fly.
37
00:03:38,448 --> 00:03:41,849
And out of a lot of fanfare,
they're going to turn him into
an honest to God war hero.
38
00:03:41,918 --> 00:03:47,049
Am I suppose to ground a
combat pilot to find
a plane for this clown to fly.
39
00:03:47,356 --> 00:03:49,790
Colonel Towers has
his own Corsair.
40
00:03:50,793 --> 00:03:51,793
You're kidding.
41
00:03:51,861 --> 00:03:54,557
Nope. The War Department
had one built for him.
42
00:03:55,431 --> 00:03:57,865
You're stuck with it, Greg.
We all are.
43
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:01,213
Look I want your promise that
you'll cooperate fully with
Towers and Colonel Lard.
44
00:04:01,237 --> 00:04:02,465
Colonel Lard?
45
00:04:02,572 --> 00:04:06,508
He's gonna command the 214
while Towers is flying.
46
00:04:11,481 --> 00:04:15,645
You guys are kidding me.
Boyington. Boyington.
47
00:05:05,134 --> 00:05:08,228
I could swear I seen you
jarheads somewhere before.
48
00:05:09,939 --> 00:05:11,201
Boyington.
Sir.
49
00:05:13,509 --> 00:05:15,739
Boyington, the advance
party is here.
50
00:05:15,811 --> 00:05:18,405
Your orders were to
be in clean khakis
and field scarf.
51
00:05:18,481 --> 00:05:21,814
Colonel, the thing is last
night the nurses had a little
party and
52
00:05:21,884 --> 00:05:24,148
Greg got hooked up with
these twins from Duluth and...
53
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:29,954
Stow it will you Jim. Sir,
Colonel Towers is gonna
have to take a slight radar.
54
00:05:30,393 --> 00:05:31,883
Pride of the Marine club.
55
00:05:31,961 --> 00:05:34,691
Of all the squadrons,
that General Muncey
might've picked.
56
00:05:34,764 --> 00:05:36,925
(CAR HONKING)
57
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,724
Keep those jeeps off the runway.
58
00:05:41,137 --> 00:05:42,536
Is Rod on that plane?
59
00:05:42,605 --> 00:05:43,867
Colonel Towers.
60
00:05:44,507 --> 00:05:49,535
And no, he isn't and I want to
remind you ladies to behave
like officers and gentlemen.
61
00:05:49,812 --> 00:05:52,280
We'll do our best, General.
Well, whatever.
62
00:05:53,616 --> 00:05:55,641
We better get dressed huh?
Right.
63
00:05:59,322 --> 00:06:00,414
Which one's Boyington?
64
00:06:00,489 --> 00:06:02,286
Major.
Sir.
65
00:06:02,592 --> 00:06:06,028
This is Lieutenant Fitz,
Major Boyington.
Major.
66
00:06:06,696 --> 00:06:09,927
This is your speech for the
"Turning Over the Sword" shot.
67
00:06:10,032 --> 00:06:11,032
My what?
68
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,365
Sergeant Chambers will
position you after
Rod does his roll.
69
00:06:15,471 --> 00:06:17,564
Until then
I suggest you study it.
70
00:06:23,546 --> 00:06:24,957
This is a pile of...
Look it is a little...
71
00:06:24,981 --> 00:06:27,950
Talk to General Muncey.
He wrote it.
72
00:06:29,852 --> 00:06:32,412
Actually it's quite appropriate.
73
00:06:35,558 --> 00:06:38,493
"...the horizon and to engage
and destroy the infamous foe
74
00:06:38,561 --> 00:06:40,722
in the name of
God and Freedom?"
75
00:06:40,796 --> 00:06:42,127
You're gonna say that.
Nope.
76
00:06:42,198 --> 00:06:43,722
Yes.
You're ready, Sergeant?
77
00:06:43,799 --> 00:06:45,994
I'll set up on a strip,
Lieutenant.
78
00:06:46,869 --> 00:06:48,131
Here he comes!
79
00:06:48,204 --> 00:06:49,865
(WOMEN CHATTERING)
80
00:06:58,180 --> 00:06:59,204
WOMAN: He's here.
81
00:06:59,281 --> 00:07:01,306
Come on let's go by the runway.
82
00:07:13,629 --> 00:07:15,221
MAN: Did you guys see that?
83
00:07:19,468 --> 00:07:21,060
He's got it, Sergeant.
84
00:07:44,026 --> 00:07:46,051
Lard, here I'm not gonna
do this stupid speech.
85
00:07:46,128 --> 00:07:48,440
Boyington, you gave your word
You might as well
say it, Major.
86
00:07:48,464 --> 00:07:51,160
They'll just dub in someone
else's voice if you don't.
87
00:07:51,233 --> 00:07:54,202
Major! Over here please.
Major.
What?
88
00:07:57,106 --> 00:08:00,371
You could stand right here.
Thank you, Sergeant.
89
00:08:00,976 --> 00:08:02,238
Ready, Colonel?
90
00:08:03,212 --> 00:08:06,739
Roll him, Sergeant!
Okay, Major. Colonel, please.
91
00:08:15,791 --> 00:08:17,156
Any time, Major!
92
00:08:19,628 --> 00:08:21,528
Welcome to the South Pacific.
93
00:08:21,931 --> 00:08:27,164
It's an honor to turn over
the fighting 214
to you, sir,
94
00:08:29,605 --> 00:08:33,666
and to the man we stand
To the man we stand
95
00:08:35,444 --> 00:08:37,344
proud and ready to follow you.
96
00:08:37,780 --> 00:08:40,374
Proud and ready to follow you.
97
00:08:41,717 --> 00:08:44,845
And...
To engage and destroy!
98
00:08:45,054 --> 00:08:46,521
To engage and destroy
99
00:08:46,589 --> 00:08:51,288
"The infamous foe!
The infamous foe!"
The infamous foe!
100
00:08:51,727 --> 00:08:53,422
In the name of God and Freedom.
101
00:08:53,496 --> 00:08:55,930
In the name of God and Freedom.
102
00:08:58,701 --> 00:09:01,135
I'm not much on
flowery speeches, Major,
103
00:09:02,138 --> 00:09:04,538
but I'll fly this outfit
right into hell
104
00:09:04,807 --> 00:09:07,002
if that's what it takes to
win this war.
105
00:09:07,076 --> 00:09:09,977
Shake hands!
Shake hands!
106
00:09:10,212 --> 00:09:12,646
I think you ought
to meet the men.
107
00:09:12,815 --> 00:09:15,340
As long as we'll be flying
the hell together.
108
00:09:15,618 --> 00:09:16,983
Cut it, Sergeant.
109
00:09:17,386 --> 00:09:21,584
Look at that guy. Have you
seen a bigger jerk
in your whole entire life?
110
00:09:21,657 --> 00:09:22,657
Yeah.
111
00:09:24,794 --> 00:09:28,662
Lieutenant Larry Casey.
This is Colonel Towers.
112
00:09:28,731 --> 00:09:31,996
Welcome to the garden spot.
East of Nowhere, sir.
113
00:09:32,401 --> 00:09:34,562
I'm not here to be
entertained, son,
114
00:09:35,037 --> 00:09:37,665
I'm here to fight a war.
Well, we gotta
bunch you have to.
115
00:09:37,740 --> 00:09:39,640
Good.
T. J. Wiley.
116
00:09:39,708 --> 00:09:42,575
Proud to know you, son.
Proud to know you too, sir.
117
00:09:42,845 --> 00:09:45,780
I just shook the hand that
touched Betty Grable.
Lieutenant Boyle, sir.
118
00:09:45,848 --> 00:09:49,511
Lieutenant Robert Anderson.
Nice to meet you.
Proud to know you, son.
119
00:09:49,585 --> 00:09:53,612
Don French. My kid brother's
a real big fan of yours.
120
00:09:54,857 --> 00:09:57,917
Jerry Bragg, I've seen every
one of your movies, Rod.
121
00:09:57,993 --> 00:10:00,826
It's Colonel Towers!
I'm sorry, sir.
122
00:10:01,063 --> 00:10:04,760
Never apologize, son,
it's a sure sign of weakness.
123
00:10:06,769 --> 00:10:11,138
That's my executive officer,
Captain Gutterman.
Proud to know you, son.
124
00:10:11,273 --> 00:10:14,299
Yeah, it's been a pleasure,
Daddy.
125
00:10:16,045 --> 00:10:22,416
Lieutenant Nancy Gilmore, and
if you ever need any medicine
or anything, look me up.
126
00:10:23,152 --> 00:10:25,143
I'll remember that, Lieutenant.
127
00:10:25,988 --> 00:10:26,988
Fitz?
128
00:10:30,059 --> 00:10:33,927
We'd like to invite the ladies
to join the squadron for a
drink this evening.
129
00:10:33,996 --> 00:10:34,996
Right.
130
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:40,263
Until this evening, then.
131
00:10:41,604 --> 00:10:43,196
Where do I bunk, Major?
132
00:10:44,306 --> 00:10:46,536
Lieutenant Casey.
Yes, sir.
133
00:10:47,009 --> 00:10:49,807
Larry, would show the Colonel
to his tent please.
134
00:10:49,979 --> 00:10:51,037
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
135
00:10:51,113 --> 00:10:53,391
I'd like to discuss your
orders from
General Muncey, Colonel.
136
00:10:53,415 --> 00:10:54,415
Right.
137
00:10:54,984 --> 00:10:58,249
Lead the way, Jerry.
Larry, right.
138
00:11:00,456 --> 00:11:04,051
Hey, Pappy, this is a
beautiful airplane.
139
00:11:05,194 --> 00:11:09,028
I have never saw a Corsair
that wasn't half beer
cans an' bailing wire.
140
00:11:09,098 --> 00:11:11,862
Yeah, it's a beauty.
Who's that guy?
141
00:11:12,301 --> 00:11:16,499
Towers' mechanic.
His personal mechanic?
142
00:11:16,772 --> 00:11:17,772
Yeah.
143
00:11:20,609 --> 00:11:22,338
Let's stick close to him.
144
00:11:22,912 --> 00:11:25,779
There's gotta be a lot of
goodies in that boxcar.
145
00:11:26,649 --> 00:11:28,844
Find out, will you, Hutch?
All right.
146
00:11:30,886 --> 00:11:32,513
My mother...
She won't believe it!
147
00:11:32,588 --> 00:11:34,818
I shook his hand.
I shook his hand.
148
00:11:36,358 --> 00:11:39,452
Shook his hand.
Did you get that guy?
149
00:11:39,528 --> 00:11:43,862
"Until this evening, then."
You're gonna fly with that
Hollywood hot rock thing.
150
00:11:44,066 --> 00:11:45,066
Yep.
151
00:11:46,502 --> 00:11:49,300
Are you're thinking what
I think you're thinking.
152
00:11:50,806 --> 00:11:52,501
You forget it, Gutterman.
153
00:11:52,875 --> 00:11:55,844
Maybe I can't play with him,
but I can dream, can't l.
154
00:11:55,911 --> 00:11:59,938
Get me one of Rod's songs
one of his best pictures.
155
00:12:06,689 --> 00:12:08,088
(MEN LAUGHING)
156
00:12:11,660 --> 00:12:14,925
Well, anyway, anyways,
DeMille didn't want me to try,
157
00:12:15,097 --> 00:12:17,361
but I told him to cross
his fingers and roll it.
158
00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:20,368
I couldn't fly upside down
and under that bridge
at the same time,
159
00:12:20,436 --> 00:12:22,802
then he can check me off
the call sheet.
160
00:12:23,572 --> 00:12:27,269
And if you saw
Dawn's Early Light, I guess
you saw how it came out.
161
00:12:27,476 --> 00:12:29,808
Well, from then on C.B. was...
162
00:12:31,046 --> 00:12:33,571
Hey, where's the Major?
Oh, you mean, Pappy?
163
00:12:33,649 --> 00:12:36,880
Probably in his tent,
I guess.
Well, he ought to be here.
164
00:12:38,387 --> 00:12:40,787
I'll get him for you.
No, that's all right,
I'll get him, D.J.
165
00:12:40,856 --> 00:12:42,968
Well, don't anybody go away,
I'll be right back, here?
166
00:12:42,992 --> 00:12:43,992
T.J.
167
00:12:49,264 --> 00:12:50,944
So what's that break,
intermission or what?
168
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,992
Oh, that guy's tremendous
isn't he. Hey, give me a beer,
would you, please?
169
00:12:54,903 --> 00:12:56,165
May I come in?
170
00:12:57,006 --> 00:12:58,530
Come on in, Colonel.
171
00:12:59,375 --> 00:13:03,277
Forget the "Colonel,"
It's Rod.
Hey, Rod.
172
00:13:05,981 --> 00:13:08,814
Havana. Have 'em rolled
especially for me.
173
00:13:09,351 --> 00:13:12,684
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Wouldn't you sit down?
174
00:13:15,157 --> 00:13:19,924
Major, I realize how awkward
it is for you and your men.
175
00:13:20,496 --> 00:13:24,125
I mean, my moving in here
with a camera crew
making this documentary.
176
00:13:24,199 --> 00:13:28,192
It wasn't my idea. As a matter
of fact, I bucked like a steer
when Muncey sprang it on me
177
00:13:28,270 --> 00:13:30,815
and I told him I said,
you know you should get
a real hero, a real ace
178
00:13:30,839 --> 00:13:34,036
to be the star
of this picture.
Someone like you.
179
00:13:34,109 --> 00:13:37,135
But he wouldn't listen.
Well, I'm glad he didn't
180
00:13:37,212 --> 00:13:40,943
because you got a glimpse
of my acting this morning.
181
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:45,582
Well, anyway, I've got a job
to do. I'll do it and get
out of your hair.
182
00:13:46,388 --> 00:13:48,049
I want you to know that.
183
00:13:50,025 --> 00:13:54,621
I want you to know something,
Colonel, I mean, Rod.
I appreciate that.
184
00:13:56,598 --> 00:13:59,829
Why don't you come back
to the party with me?
I'll buy you a drink?
185
00:13:59,902 --> 00:14:01,199
Why not?
186
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:05,766
And when I was accepted
for flight school, I couldn't.
187
00:14:05,841 --> 00:14:09,072
Hey, Rod, how about
finishing that story
you were telling?
188
00:14:09,144 --> 00:14:12,841
What story was that, Larry?
Oh No, I'm Jerry.
This is Larry over here.
189
00:14:12,948 --> 00:14:14,381
It was one about a
Cecil B. DeMille
190
00:14:14,450 --> 00:14:16,714
not wanting you to fly
upside down
underneath the bridge.
191
00:14:16,785 --> 00:14:18,685
Oh, yeah. I remember.
192
00:14:18,921 --> 00:14:20,650
Sure.
How did you come out?
193
00:14:20,856 --> 00:14:23,222
How about a drink, son?
Coming right up.
194
00:14:23,425 --> 00:14:25,416
Let's see now.
Where was l?
195
00:14:25,627 --> 00:14:27,219
Oh, yeah, anyway,
somebody had to do it.
196
00:14:27,296 --> 00:14:30,663
The guy they hired chickened
out at the last minute.
Utah boy.
197
00:14:30,866 --> 00:14:33,096
Yeah.
He enlisted right after that.
198
00:14:33,502 --> 00:14:35,470
Shame. I heard he went down
over Guadalcanal.
199
00:14:35,537 --> 00:14:36,936
Very finest...
200
00:14:37,005 --> 00:14:38,939
Thank you. T.J., ain't it?
Yes.
201
00:14:39,007 --> 00:14:42,943
Hey, Rod, is it true you did
your own stunt flying in
Do Or Die,
202
00:14:43,011 --> 00:14:44,011
Sure did.
203
00:14:44,146 --> 00:14:48,310
I have an agreement with
the studio. I do the flying,
doubles do the crashing.
204
00:14:56,825 --> 00:15:00,090
Yeah, Colonel. Excuse me.
Yes, son.
205
00:15:01,797 --> 00:15:05,255
What does it make you think
that flying an airplane
in the movies
206
00:15:05,334 --> 00:15:09,270
has got anything to do with
flying an airplane in a war
like we got here?
207
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:15,167
Oh, come on, John, I'm...
At ease, Lieutenant,
it's a reasonable question.
208
00:15:18,113 --> 00:15:21,844
You don't have to worry
about me, Captain.
I pack my own weight.
209
00:15:22,084 --> 00:15:24,450
Always have, always will.
210
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:26,751
Great. Good.
211
00:15:29,258 --> 00:15:31,569
Oh you'll get your
grids in the morning
from Colonel Towers.
212
00:15:31,593 --> 00:15:34,824
Colonel Towers. Yes.
The point is,
213
00:15:34,997 --> 00:15:37,522
I want you to put your
two best men with him
214
00:15:37,733 --> 00:15:40,531
and at the first sign of
any trouble, I want them
to break him out
215
00:15:40,602 --> 00:15:45,972
and get him back here.
Safe and sound and
that goes for every mission.
216
00:15:46,074 --> 00:15:47,769
(LAUGHING)
217
00:15:48,810 --> 00:15:51,074
He won't get too many
Zekes like that, Colonel.
218
00:15:51,146 --> 00:15:54,138
Oh, don't worry about that.
Just keep him out
of the ocean.
219
00:15:54,216 --> 00:15:55,649
Anything you say, sir.
220
00:15:56,118 --> 00:15:58,518
I would just like to get
him out of my outfit.
221
00:15:58,587 --> 00:16:00,987
All right, Colonel,
bring him on.
222
00:16:28,483 --> 00:16:30,075
Let's go hunting.
223
00:16:50,839 --> 00:16:53,706
GREG: Technically, Rod Towers
was in command of the squad.
224
00:16:53,775 --> 00:16:56,266
It was up
to him to call the mission.
225
00:16:56,345 --> 00:17:01,214
Every mission was top secret.We had no idea where we weregoing until we got in the air.
226
00:17:01,450 --> 00:17:04,442
We didn't take long to figure
why the orders were secret.
227
00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:08,046
General Muncey probably wantedto keep the laughterto a minimum.
228
00:17:08,824 --> 00:17:11,190
All right, Towers,
let's have the grids.
229
00:17:14,196 --> 00:17:16,994
Eighteen south by 1 70 east.
230
00:17:17,933 --> 00:17:19,644
WILEY: Hey, that's heading
back to the rear area.
231
00:17:19,668 --> 00:17:21,363
That's very good, Wiley.
232
00:17:21,937 --> 00:17:25,031
Take a heading of 105
233
00:17:46,528 --> 00:17:48,428
Sure is quiet up here.
234
00:17:50,999 --> 00:17:52,023
Too quiet.
235
00:17:52,100 --> 00:17:55,797
You don't suppose just
because the war is 50 miles
behind us, Colonel?
236
00:18:04,146 --> 00:18:06,307
Not again. It's 5 o'clock low.
237
00:18:06,381 --> 00:18:07,746
Where'd they come from?
238
00:18:07,816 --> 00:18:11,115
T.J.! Bragg! Take Towers
back to Vella La Cava!
239
00:18:11,186 --> 00:18:12,983
The rest of you guys
form up on me!
240
00:18:13,055 --> 00:18:15,285
Just lead the way, Major!
I'll keep up!
241
00:18:15,357 --> 00:18:18,918
Towers, we're not making
a movie. Those are orders.
Colonel Lard's orders.
242
00:18:18,994 --> 00:18:20,859
All right, Major,
but I'm not heading back.
243
00:18:20,929 --> 00:18:23,454
I'll be waiting upstairs,
just in case I'm needed.
244
00:18:23,532 --> 00:18:26,092
Hey, Greg, we gonna bounce
those Tojos or what?
245
00:18:26,268 --> 00:18:29,066
T. J. Bragg, take him
upstairs and park him!
246
00:18:29,538 --> 00:18:32,371
Jim, let's you and me butt out
and keep Tojo company.
247
00:19:20,188 --> 00:19:23,180
Jim, how are you doing?
You gotta wait for me.
248
00:19:23,325 --> 00:19:25,885
He's up here
and he's close to Rod.
249
00:19:27,062 --> 00:19:31,863
Towers, that Zeke pile
is no fan of yours.
Jim, come back, finish him.
250
00:19:31,933 --> 00:19:34,197
Towers get moving now.
251
00:19:35,504 --> 00:19:36,801
On my way, Greg.
252
00:19:55,524 --> 00:19:56,616
I got him.
253
00:19:59,761 --> 00:20:04,391
Major, getting down to
allotted fuel minimums.
Maybe I'd better go home.
254
00:20:12,908 --> 00:20:16,400
Okay, let's all go home!
255
00:20:23,285 --> 00:20:26,118
Towers, get back in formation.
256
00:20:26,254 --> 00:20:30,452
Sorry, Major, we need a
victory roll for the montage
sequence in the film.
257
00:20:30,625 --> 00:20:33,458
Let's all do victory rolls.
Not in you life, Jerry.
258
00:20:33,528 --> 00:20:35,223
Bragg! Bragg!
259
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:39,696
Which one's Towers?
The one on the right.
I think.
260
00:21:03,658 --> 00:21:07,389
Bragg, the next time
you do that, you're grounded.
261
00:21:07,762 --> 00:21:12,358
Now get back in formation.
Don't be hard on
the boy, Major.
262
00:21:13,502 --> 00:21:17,529
He's going to be my wing man
from now on. Is that all right
with you, Barry?
263
00:21:18,306 --> 00:21:21,605
Oh, yeah, sure. Sure, you bet.
264
00:21:29,751 --> 00:21:32,914
Well, how did it go, Colonel?
Managed to get two Zekes.
265
00:21:32,988 --> 00:21:34,080
Two kills?
266
00:21:34,256 --> 00:21:38,488
Well, they tried to jump us.
I went upstairs. Took a couple
of the guys with me.
267
00:21:39,194 --> 00:21:41,788
As one Zeke came up after us.
268
00:21:42,864 --> 00:21:44,695
And that was the end of him.
269
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,231
I gotta get out of here before
I puke. lf you don't mind.
270
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:50,565
First, take a look at that.
271
00:21:50,639 --> 00:21:53,130
This man is taking credit
for our kills, Greg.
272
00:21:53,208 --> 00:21:55,540
Hey, wait a minute, Jim!
Wait a minute for what?
273
00:21:55,610 --> 00:21:58,044
I just want him off
this rock as soon as possible.
274
00:21:58,113 --> 00:21:59,223
You're gonna let him
get away with that.
275
00:21:59,247 --> 00:22:02,727
If a couple of kill flags will
do it, he can take them off my
plane and he can keep them.
276
00:22:02,751 --> 00:22:06,619
I just want him off this rock
as soon as possible.
Greg!
277
00:22:09,124 --> 00:22:10,421
Come on.
278
00:22:11,493 --> 00:22:13,791
I need to drink.
Let's get out of here.
279
00:22:13,862 --> 00:22:16,558
Just one more shot, Colonel
and I've got it. Thanks.
280
00:22:16,631 --> 00:22:17,631
Hey, Rod.
281
00:22:18,833 --> 00:22:22,360
Can I talk to you a minute?
Certainly, son,
what's on your mind?
282
00:22:23,271 --> 00:22:26,434
About those two kills today?
Oh, yeah, what about them?
283
00:22:27,542 --> 00:22:30,340
Well, Jim and Pappy got them.
Right!
284
00:22:31,580 --> 00:22:34,811
Well, how come
they're putting their flags
on your plane?
285
00:22:34,983 --> 00:22:36,712
Terry.
No, Jerry.
286
00:22:37,652 --> 00:22:39,552
Let me explain
something to you, son.
287
00:22:40,422 --> 00:22:43,323
I don't like getting credit
for anything I don't deserve.
288
00:22:43,391 --> 00:22:46,604
Oh, why don't you just go and
tell the Colonel that you
didn't claim those two Zekes.
289
00:22:46,628 --> 00:22:48,619
Because there's more
at stake here.
290
00:22:49,831 --> 00:22:51,731
See, son, war's a team effort,
291
00:22:52,334 --> 00:22:55,735
and that team includes
millions of Americans
back in the States,
292
00:22:55,804 --> 00:23:00,002
making guns and planes and
ships. Guns, tanks.
293
00:23:01,409 --> 00:23:04,674
Without them, the war's lost.
They gotta keep working.
Yeah,
294
00:23:04,980 --> 00:23:08,814
buying War Bonds, so boys
like you will have
the tools to do the job.
295
00:23:10,051 --> 00:23:13,077
That means keeping their
morale up. And that's my job.
296
00:23:13,622 --> 00:23:17,114
To show them, that,
all the work they're
doing is not in vain.
297
00:23:17,525 --> 00:23:18,753
To show them,
298
00:23:20,595 --> 00:23:21,994
what you're doing.
299
00:23:22,564 --> 00:23:23,724
And as much as I hate it,
300
00:23:23,798 --> 00:23:27,097
that's why I had them put
those kill flags on
my plane.
301
00:23:28,637 --> 00:23:31,003
You can understand that,
can't you, son?
302
00:23:35,276 --> 00:23:36,334
Yes, sir.
303
00:23:37,979 --> 00:23:39,690
If you're an actor
you have to have an agent.
304
00:23:39,714 --> 00:23:41,525
You know most agents
always try to convince you
305
00:23:41,549 --> 00:23:43,210
to do things you don't wanna do.
306
00:23:43,284 --> 00:23:46,151
You know, and this guy kept
telling me to do the film
and I said,
307
00:23:46,221 --> 00:23:49,349
"Look I don't wanna do it."
Finally I called Louis Mayer
and I said, listen,
308
00:23:49,424 --> 00:23:52,188
I will not do the picture,
unless Rita's in it, you know.
309
00:23:52,260 --> 00:23:54,228
Rita? Rita Hayworth.
310
00:23:55,196 --> 00:23:56,663
Is there any other?
311
00:23:56,831 --> 00:23:59,231
It's getting pretty late.
We have another
rough go tomorrow.
312
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:01,291
We'd better
call it a night, huh?
313
00:24:03,271 --> 00:24:04,738
Good night, ladies.
314
00:24:06,908 --> 00:24:08,899
Goodnight everybody.
You're fighting tomorrow.
315
00:24:08,977 --> 00:24:13,038
I'll walk you to your tent now.
Hey, Braggs' actually coming
to talk to you.
316
00:24:15,250 --> 00:24:16,581
Hey, fellas.
317
00:24:17,986 --> 00:24:20,531
Jerry, you heard the Colonel,
we're gonna have another
really rough go tomorrow.
318
00:24:20,555 --> 00:24:21,954
Maybe you ought to hit the sack.
319
00:24:22,023 --> 00:24:24,048
Yeah,
what is a "rough go", Jerry?
320
00:24:27,128 --> 00:24:29,494
Can't you guys just
give the man a break?
321
00:24:29,564 --> 00:24:31,498
Put it to you this way, Bragg.
322
00:24:31,766 --> 00:24:32,766
No.
323
00:24:35,870 --> 00:24:40,398
And we'll all have a drink,
to our "rough go"
tomorrow.
324
00:24:47,115 --> 00:24:48,810
Well, that's three down.
325
00:24:49,551 --> 00:24:52,281
Two to go for ace, Rod.
Yeah, I was lucky today.
326
00:24:52,587 --> 00:24:55,750
They came out of the sun,
and I was the
first to see them.
327
00:24:56,458 --> 00:24:58,824
Colonel Towers, let me
buy you a drink.
328
00:25:01,863 --> 00:25:05,162
Our movie star had been flying
with us for almost two weeks.
329
00:25:05,633 --> 00:25:09,729
Except for the first time out.We hadn't come closeto seeing an enemy plane.
330
00:25:32,527 --> 00:25:34,688
All right, Towers,
let's have the grids.
331
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:42,233
One thirty six east, 18 south.
332
00:25:49,944 --> 00:25:51,989
GREG: The Black Sheep were
getting bored and restless,
333
00:25:52,013 --> 00:25:54,413
and even Braggwas beginning to wonderabout his idol.
334
00:25:55,316 --> 00:25:59,013
If Towers was aware of the wayhe was being coddled,it didn't show.
335
00:25:59,087 --> 00:26:01,851
Every morning it was,
"Good hunting, boys,"
336
00:26:01,923 --> 00:26:05,222
and every night it wastall tales for thenurses and the camera crew.
337
00:26:05,293 --> 00:26:08,956
Like the rest of the guys,
I was getting sick of it.
338
00:26:11,766 --> 00:26:14,963
Greg! Bandits, 9 o'clock!
Looks like a whole squadron.
339
00:26:15,036 --> 00:26:16,526
You're going home, Towers.
340
00:26:16,604 --> 00:26:17,969
What're they doing
way down here?
341
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:19,267
Bragg, take them home!
342
00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:20,967
Greg,
we're outnumbered as it is!
343
00:26:21,042 --> 00:26:23,010
Why don't you let Towers
find his own way home?
344
00:26:23,077 --> 00:26:24,874
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm sticking.
345
00:26:24,946 --> 00:26:26,675
Towers, I don't have
time for this.
346
00:26:26,748 --> 00:26:29,216
Or any choice.
I'm sticking, Major.
347
00:27:35,383 --> 00:27:38,511
Towers, there's one
coming up on you.
Get out of there.
348
00:27:43,892 --> 00:27:46,827
I'm warning you, Towers,
get out of the way
or I'll flame you myself.
349
00:28:10,919 --> 00:28:12,853
Pappy, he's behind you.
Watch out.
350
00:28:52,193 --> 00:28:54,024
Nice shooting, Pappy!
351
00:28:57,465 --> 00:28:59,126
I'm losing power!
352
00:29:00,702 --> 00:29:02,397
I have to take it back
on the deck.
353
00:29:02,971 --> 00:29:05,337
Casey, fly cover for me.
Jim, lead them home.
354
00:29:05,406 --> 00:29:08,034
All right, Greg,
you take it real easy
on your way home.
355
00:29:21,522 --> 00:29:23,820
Okay, Colonel, we got it.
Thank you.
356
00:29:27,395 --> 00:29:30,159
Hey, smokers coming in.
Isn't that Boyington's plane?
357
00:29:30,231 --> 00:29:31,562
(SIREN WAILING)
358
00:29:50,752 --> 00:29:53,277
Boyington, I thought we had
agreed you are not gonna let
359
00:29:53,354 --> 00:29:55,822
Colonel Towers get
that close to the action.
360
00:29:58,026 --> 00:30:00,859
That close to the action, sir?
361
00:30:04,465 --> 00:30:07,161
Sir, that's all we
have up there, is action.
362
00:30:09,037 --> 00:30:11,548
What was General Muncey
thinking about, when he gave
Towers those grids
363
00:30:11,572 --> 00:30:14,063
that we were stationed
some place in Nebraska?
364
00:30:15,043 --> 00:30:17,534
I have endangered
my entire squadron,
I've been stitched myself,
365
00:30:17,612 --> 00:30:20,892
and you come here bellyaching
about that movie star getting
too close to the action!
366
00:30:21,249 --> 00:30:25,913
He's already an ace, he's got
five kills. And he is yet
to fire a single round.
367
00:30:26,988 --> 00:30:30,116
Now, sir, if you don't want
him too close to the action,
368
00:30:30,191 --> 00:30:33,786
then wind up this circus
and send him back
to Hollywood.
369
00:30:34,062 --> 00:30:35,529
Because I can't, that's why.
Why?
370
00:30:35,596 --> 00:30:38,463
He got to fly
one more mission.
Why?
371
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,601
Because I have a planeload of
correspondents and
photographers coming
372
00:30:43,671 --> 00:30:48,335
down here tomorrow for
interviews and pictures,
that's why.
373
00:30:50,878 --> 00:30:53,312
For interviews and pictures?
374
00:30:53,381 --> 00:30:56,942
Oh, sir, we would have already
won this war if the Japanese
knew about
375
00:30:57,018 --> 00:31:01,512
the interviews and pictures
because they all would have
died from laughing.
376
00:31:01,956 --> 00:31:04,481
Look, you maybe right,
but this is not my show.
377
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:09,155
General Muncey is running this
show, and he is going
to be here tomorrow.
378
00:31:09,230 --> 00:31:13,530
And I am going to baby-sit this
movie star one more time.
379
00:31:13,601 --> 00:31:18,538
Don't threat to court-martial
me. Because I'll take
you up on it.
380
00:31:25,913 --> 00:31:26,913
Thanks.
381
00:31:31,385 --> 00:31:34,218
When those Zeros broke off,
I wanted to go after them
382
00:31:34,288 --> 00:31:36,381
but we were
just too low on fuel.
383
00:31:37,058 --> 00:31:38,753
Well, maybe next time.
384
00:31:42,830 --> 00:31:45,298
Quick, Jerry,
he's going for a smoke.
385
00:31:46,834 --> 00:31:48,529
How would you like
a bloused lip?
386
00:32:25,339 --> 00:32:26,829
Good night, Sergeant.
387
00:32:30,912 --> 00:32:32,470
Hutch, how about it?
388
00:32:32,547 --> 00:32:36,005
She'll be ready to fly
in the morning,
I promise, Pappy.
389
00:32:36,184 --> 00:32:37,674
You sure?
Positive.
390
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:38,977
Out of my way, Sergeant.
391
00:32:39,053 --> 00:32:40,213
Colonel Towers is not...
392
00:32:44,091 --> 00:32:45,091
What is it, son?
393
00:32:45,159 --> 00:32:48,338
Every movie I ever seen you
in, you always looked so
heroic when you was bleeding?
394
00:32:48,362 --> 00:32:50,592
Well this time it ain't
gonna be no ketchup!
395
00:32:50,665 --> 00:32:52,132
What's your problem, Lieutenant?
396
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,134
I always wanted to be like you.
397
00:32:54,202 --> 00:32:56,966
Every Saturday afternoon
I was, and it only cost a dime.
398
00:32:57,972 --> 00:33:01,567
And every Saturday afternoon
I was robbed! There ain't no
such thing as a Rod Towers.
399
00:33:01,642 --> 00:33:02,642
Watch it, Larry.
400
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:04,041
Jerry, dammit!
Jerry.
401
00:33:05,246 --> 00:33:09,376
You and this little show
you've been putting on
almost got Pappy killed today!
402
00:33:09,450 --> 00:33:11,543
He almost gets killed
and they make you an ace.
403
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,865
What's got into you, boy?
I've went up there
every day with you!
404
00:33:14,889 --> 00:33:16,379
Up there's right!
Way up there.
405
00:33:16,457 --> 00:33:18,425
We could keep you from
getting your can shot off!
406
00:33:18,492 --> 00:33:20,483
You wouldn't last 30 seconds
in a real dogfight.
407
00:33:20,761 --> 00:33:22,092
Get out of here, Jerry!
408
00:33:24,165 --> 00:33:25,530
You're under arrest,
Lieutenant...
409
00:33:33,307 --> 00:33:35,298
Hey, why are they all
picking on Bragg?
410
00:33:39,413 --> 00:33:41,574
That may be the diversion
we've been waiting for.
411
00:33:41,649 --> 00:33:43,048
Got you, Pappy, Manny...
412
00:33:43,117 --> 00:33:46,245
Take one.
Hey, Jerry, leave a couple
of them for us.
413
00:34:07,308 --> 00:34:10,937
Boyington, what's the
meaning of this?
414
00:34:11,012 --> 00:34:13,071
You were next, Howard, baby.
415
00:34:14,215 --> 00:34:17,412
If you don't know now, sir,
you'll never know.
416
00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:24,489
Wait for me.
417
00:34:48,115 --> 00:34:50,276
Rod? Rod?
418
00:34:52,119 --> 00:34:54,587
I don't care what the guy...
419
00:34:55,056 --> 00:34:57,581
Would you shut up, Boyle?
Bragg, did you see me...
420
00:35:00,294 --> 00:35:02,194
What did ya expect, Jerry?
421
00:35:03,698 --> 00:35:05,188
I don't know...
422
00:35:05,499 --> 00:35:06,431
I thought that the...
423
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:10,027
Jerry, I don't know how you
stay up in the air, you're too
dense to be a fighter pilot.
424
00:35:10,104 --> 00:35:12,095
And I never thought
that was possible.
425
00:35:15,876 --> 00:35:17,002
Nancy?
426
00:35:21,248 --> 00:35:24,240
I give him a shoulder
to cry on and he took it.
427
00:35:24,318 --> 00:35:26,548
"My mother didn't even
love me, Nancy."
428
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:28,554
Boy, what a creep!
429
00:35:28,622 --> 00:35:31,318
I can't even believe it.
Lets get out of here.
430
00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:43,580
...flying wingman for a frog.
431
00:35:43,604 --> 00:35:45,435
Towers got here was...
432
00:35:45,506 --> 00:35:46,917
Good thing too,
that if he'd ever gotten
433
00:35:46,941 --> 00:35:48,719
near the real war,
he'd probably faint
dead away...
434
00:35:48,743 --> 00:35:51,405
The enemies would be doing
us a favor if they
shot him down.
435
00:35:51,479 --> 00:35:55,176
The man is a 1 4 carat,
genuine, phony jerk.
436
00:35:56,183 --> 00:35:58,174
He's walking around here,
trying to look like us
437
00:35:58,252 --> 00:36:00,212
and you're walking around
trying to look like him.
438
00:36:08,195 --> 00:36:10,857
This is a private party, Towers.
439
00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:13,624
This will only take a minute.
440
00:36:15,469 --> 00:36:20,338
I just want to apologize
to all of you.
441
00:36:22,576 --> 00:36:24,976
Look, I know you think
I'm making a mockery
442
00:36:25,045 --> 00:36:28,378
of what you guys do around
here with all this filming.
443
00:36:31,452 --> 00:36:34,132
I got the first real good look
at myself for the
first time in years,
444
00:36:34,188 --> 00:36:36,122
and I didn't care
much for what I saw.
445
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:37,782
The line forms to the right.
446
00:36:37,958 --> 00:36:41,394
I know you all think
I'm a phoney, but I'm not.
447
00:36:43,464 --> 00:36:45,694
At least, I don't feel like one.
448
00:36:45,766 --> 00:36:48,678
It's just that when you've had
a studio publicity mill
fronting for you for years,
449
00:36:48,702 --> 00:36:53,036
well, I guess you kind of lose
yourself, forget what you are.
450
00:36:54,642 --> 00:36:58,078
Look, I know who
the real heroes are.
451
00:36:58,145 --> 00:37:00,545
And I'm gonna make
sure the folks at
home know too.
452
00:37:10,558 --> 00:37:11,957
Boyington!
453
00:37:13,194 --> 00:37:15,389
Major! Major!
454
00:37:15,463 --> 00:37:16,463
What?
455
00:37:17,064 --> 00:37:19,396
Look, you're a fine actor,
and that was a fine speech.
456
00:37:19,467 --> 00:37:20,877
Was that out of one
of your latest movies?
457
00:37:20,901 --> 00:37:22,646
That wasn't out of any movie!
That was out of my gut!
458
00:37:22,670 --> 00:37:24,194
Sure, sure.
459
00:37:25,773 --> 00:37:27,900
Now wait a minute,
just hear me out.
460
00:37:28,976 --> 00:37:31,410
You have snowed
this whole company.
461
00:37:31,479 --> 00:37:33,276
Myself, the entire squadron...
462
00:37:33,347 --> 00:37:35,247
What I said back there, I meant.
463
00:37:35,449 --> 00:37:37,041
I'm tired of being a puppet.
464
00:37:37,651 --> 00:37:41,485
I'm tired of being told what
to do, what to say, and where
the hell to look.
465
00:37:43,023 --> 00:37:46,459
I'm tired of the
disappointment
in people's eyes.
466
00:37:48,496 --> 00:37:51,397
You don't know
what it's like
to be Rod Towers.
467
00:37:51,899 --> 00:37:54,163
I know a lot of guys
who would envy you.
468
00:37:54,235 --> 00:37:56,169
Yeah, well, they're
welcome to it.
469
00:37:59,773 --> 00:38:01,263
I want to fly a mission.
470
00:38:04,512 --> 00:38:05,512
A real one.
471
00:38:11,151 --> 00:38:14,052
I wanna know what I really am.
472
00:38:16,824 --> 00:38:18,553
Sorry, but orders are orders.
473
00:38:20,127 --> 00:38:23,563
And we've gotta fly the grids
you give us in the air.
474
00:38:24,498 --> 00:38:26,090
We don't have any choice,
Towers.
475
00:38:50,724 --> 00:38:52,692
GREG: I had little trouble
sleeping that night.
476
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,197
I got up early to check up the500 pounders I'd asked Hutchto hang on our planes.
477
00:38:57,398 --> 00:38:59,559
Towers had said he wanted to
fly a real mission,
478
00:38:59,633 --> 00:39:01,828
before he went home to his
ticker tape parades.
479
00:39:01,902 --> 00:39:04,837
And I figured he had it coming
in more ways than one.
480
00:39:05,005 --> 00:39:07,530
He wanted to find out what
kind of man he was.
481
00:39:07,641 --> 00:39:09,734
I just hoped the answer
wouldn't kill him.
482
00:39:11,946 --> 00:39:13,937
All right, Colonel,
let's have the grids.
483
00:39:14,848 --> 00:39:20,753
Fifty minutes due south,
then west on a heading of
zero seven two.
484
00:39:20,821 --> 00:39:22,345
That's Kamabatchi!
485
00:39:22,523 --> 00:39:24,889
Pappy! We can't take Rod
to Kamabatchi!
486
00:39:24,959 --> 00:39:29,919
No, you got it wrong, Larry.
Orders are orders.
Colonel Towers is taking us.
487
00:39:38,772 --> 00:39:41,570
General Muncey,
I've got a spotter from
San Crepos island.
488
00:39:41,642 --> 00:39:44,805
The 214 is on a heading of
zero seven two.
489
00:39:44,878 --> 00:39:47,745
Zero seven two.
Kamabatchi?
490
00:39:47,815 --> 00:39:49,373
What's going on?
491
00:39:49,450 --> 00:39:50,747
What's Kamabatchi?
492
00:39:50,818 --> 00:39:55,278
It's a hot bed sir,
of bunkers, caves,
ackack and Zero Aces.
493
00:39:56,490 --> 00:40:00,119
That's Rod Towers out there!
Not some expendable farm boy!
494
00:40:00,728 --> 00:40:03,891
Don't you realize
what he means to America?
495
00:40:04,398 --> 00:40:08,630
Don't you know how
demoralizing his death
would be?
496
00:40:09,970 --> 00:40:16,603
However, I don't think the
war effort could lose
either way it goes.
497
00:40:18,078 --> 00:40:23,209
Should of course God forbid,
anything happen to Rod,
498
00:40:23,317 --> 00:40:27,117
I'd say all of America
would rally behind his death.
499
00:40:27,254 --> 00:40:28,254
But, sir?
500
00:40:28,322 --> 00:40:32,053
Oh, don't worry, Colonel,
your work won't have
been wasted.
501
00:40:32,459 --> 00:40:36,418
There's sure to be a
posthumous Congressional Medal
of Honor for Towers.
502
00:40:37,197 --> 00:40:42,430
Why, it might even be awarded
by the President himself!
At Arlington!
503
00:40:45,873 --> 00:40:48,239
Hitting the bunkers
is the easy part, Rod.
504
00:40:48,308 --> 00:40:50,503
It's getting through
the Zeros, that's tough.
505
00:40:50,577 --> 00:40:53,637
There's one guy out there
with 18 kills.
506
00:40:54,148 --> 00:40:55,775
Three of them were Black Sheep.
507
00:40:55,849 --> 00:40:59,444
Yeah, and here they come.
Straight ahead, 1 2 o'clock.
508
00:41:02,122 --> 00:41:05,057
Okay you guys, we're here
to get through them.
509
00:41:05,125 --> 00:41:07,525
Not to fight them,
not to fight them.
510
00:41:25,212 --> 00:41:26,839
I got one on my tail.
511
00:41:27,681 --> 00:41:30,673
What happened to the old
snap roll, Rod? Get under him!
512
00:41:32,553 --> 00:41:34,043
I'll take care of him, Pappy.
513
00:41:40,294 --> 00:41:42,592
You got him, Pappy.
Thanks, Jerry.
514
00:41:48,035 --> 00:41:49,434
They're pulling up!
515
00:41:55,075 --> 00:41:56,667
We made it!
516
00:41:56,977 --> 00:41:59,878
Not exactly, Rod.
They'll be waiting for us
on the way back.
517
00:42:03,350 --> 00:42:06,429
They just don't like to fly
over their own flak, and l
can't say that I blame them.
518
00:42:06,453 --> 00:42:09,388
We'll have to fly through
pistols, machine guns,
and rice balls
519
00:42:09,456 --> 00:42:11,515
and get close before
we can do ourselves any good!
520
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:29,767
Okay, Rod, stay back and let
Casey show you how it's done.
521
00:42:30,010 --> 00:42:32,478
You lower your landing gear
to cut your air speed.
522
00:42:32,546 --> 00:42:33,706
And bull's-eye.
523
00:42:50,264 --> 00:42:54,758
Got the idea, Rod?
Now give it a try.
524
00:42:58,071 --> 00:42:59,163
Bull's-eye, Rod!
525
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,173
Atta boy, Colonel!
526
00:43:01,241 --> 00:43:02,765
Good hunting, Rod.
527
00:43:02,843 --> 00:43:04,970
I think the man's ready to fly.
528
00:43:05,045 --> 00:43:07,980
Okay, let's see if we get
these birds home.
529
00:43:27,401 --> 00:43:28,868
Here they come.
530
00:43:34,775 --> 00:43:36,208
All of them.
531
00:43:41,815 --> 00:43:44,841
Okay, Rod, hit the victory roll.
532
00:43:44,918 --> 00:43:49,548
Thanks but I just
don't feel like it.
533
00:43:56,363 --> 00:44:00,060
Come on, roll it,
Rod, baby, roll it, roll it.
534
00:44:38,305 --> 00:44:41,604
Five kills, huh, Rod?
How many today?
535
00:44:41,909 --> 00:44:42,933
None.
536
00:44:43,010 --> 00:44:45,205
How was it out there today, Rod?
537
00:44:45,279 --> 00:44:47,304
It scared the hell out of me.
538
00:44:48,448 --> 00:44:52,248
And if you'll excuse me,
I gotta go change my drawers.
539
00:44:54,488 --> 00:44:57,924
Rod, wait a minute.
What about all
these reporters?
540
00:44:58,825 --> 00:45:04,161
War's hell, boys.
Even gets to
Rod Towers sometimes.
541
00:45:04,231 --> 00:45:06,743
You'll be happy to know
there's a party in the
officers' club tonight.
542
00:45:06,767 --> 00:45:07,877
Of course, you're all invited.
543
00:45:07,901 --> 00:45:08,901
Thank you General.
544
00:45:08,969 --> 00:45:10,027
Always a pleasure, sir.
545
00:45:10,103 --> 00:45:14,039
No problem at all, they got
three news reels here.
For this?
546
00:45:51,912 --> 00:45:54,312
I'm sure Muncey isn't
gonna like it.
547
00:45:56,583 --> 00:45:58,073
That's tough.
548
00:45:59,553 --> 00:46:01,111
I'm sure not a hero.
549
00:46:01,188 --> 00:46:05,488
Nope. You're not a hero.
550
00:46:06,693 --> 00:46:10,026
But I got a hunch.
Got a hunch
you could have been.
551
00:46:17,537 --> 00:46:19,869
To the War Biz Warrior.
552
00:46:31,651 --> 00:46:33,196
Sorry if we got in the way
of your action, Jim.
553
00:46:33,220 --> 00:46:35,882
Don't ever apologize, Rod.
It's a sure sign of weakness.
554
00:46:38,558 --> 00:46:40,753
Take care, Lieutenant.
Happy landings, Colonel.
555
00:46:41,561 --> 00:46:43,688
Nice knowing you, Bob.
Good luck, Colonel.
556
00:46:43,764 --> 00:46:44,890
Thank you.
557
00:46:44,965 --> 00:46:48,401
Here's my kid brother's
address. I hope you won't
forget to send that picture.
558
00:46:48,468 --> 00:46:51,437
No, I sure won't.
It was nice knowing you, Don.
559
00:46:51,505 --> 00:46:52,699
Thank you, sir.
560
00:46:53,707 --> 00:46:55,766
Tell Betty Grable to save
herself for me, will you?
561
00:46:56,576 --> 00:46:58,771
Yeah, I sure will, T.J.
I sure will.
562
00:46:59,179 --> 00:47:00,419
Adios, Rod, you're lookin' good.
563
00:47:00,781 --> 00:47:01,781
Thank you.
564
00:47:01,848 --> 00:47:04,214
You too, Larry, take care.
565
00:47:04,284 --> 00:47:05,546
So long, Rod.
566
00:47:05,619 --> 00:47:09,316
So long, Jerry.
I'm real proud that
I've been your wingman.
567
00:47:09,389 --> 00:47:10,822
Likewise, Rod.
568
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,529
Hey, Colonel, think about us
when you're riding down
Fifth Avenue, will you?
569
00:47:17,831 --> 00:47:19,389
It will be hard not to.
570
00:47:22,102 --> 00:47:24,036
Thanks, Pappy.
571
00:47:25,372 --> 00:47:27,067
Oh, by the way,
572
00:47:28,108 --> 00:47:33,273
I arranged for half those
cases of spare parts
left behind "by mistake".
573
00:47:33,346 --> 00:47:35,425
Hey, Rod, I want you to know
I really appreciate that,
574
00:47:35,449 --> 00:47:39,112
but we have had those
spare parts for three days
in our planes,
575
00:47:39,186 --> 00:47:41,177
those crates
are filled with rocks.
576
00:47:46,693 --> 00:47:49,253
Black Sheep
must've taken them off
last night.
577
00:47:49,329 --> 00:47:51,854
Good thing
I caught it in time, huh?
578
00:47:52,833 --> 00:47:54,824
Greg, I...
579
00:47:57,704 --> 00:48:01,401
What do you call that?
That's show biz?
580
00:48:02,843 --> 00:48:04,403
MAN: Let's get one more shot,
gentleman.
581
00:48:04,878 --> 00:48:06,470
That's the one. Hold it.
