REPORTER: Prince Olav!

What is your impression of America?

It's, uh, it's wonderful.

Everyone's been splendid.

It's a, it's a beautiful country.

Ah, Princess ärtha, what do you like best

about America?

[chuckles]: My husband.

Oh, I wish my missus would say the same thing.

Well, keep on wishing.

[chuckles]

Oh, this is a good one.

Cowboys, hm? [all chuckling]

It's no wonder you've become so popular.

America's new sweethearts!

Just like Eleanor and me.

[laughter]

And so, Your Highness,

what are your thoughts on the chances

of war breaking out in Europe?

Well, I'm, I'm not sure...

Oh, here you are...

OLAV: It seems Hitler

does not want to wage war on the West, and...

Well, as for Poland, it's a different matter.

Do you think an invasion is imminent? FRANKLIN: Eleanor, please.

Give the man a break.

They're two on holiday.

Excuse me, I must go see what's cooking in the kitchen.

Oh, I hope it's food.

[chuckling] ELEANOR: Besides,

I have heard Franklin's jokes a couple of times before.

[chuckling]

Poor Eleanor.

Brilliant mind, capable of anything.

Except relaxing.

[all chuckle]

BOY: Grandpa!

We lost our ball.

Oh, well...

Fetch it!

It's in the pool!

Oh-- Jones?

I'll get it. Oh.

Very kind.

OLAV: I'll have a little swim.

[chuckles]

Very nice of him. Yes.

My husband. [both chuckling]

Hm.

So you enjoyed your tour?

Very much.

I have fallen in love with America.

Ah!

Well, America has fallen in love with you.

REPORTER [on radio]: Tensions between Germany and Britain hae grown steadily

since the Allies declared war on the Nazis.

It is no longer a question

of whether the declaration will manifest

into full-on attacks, but more a question

of who strikes first

and where the battle will be fought. [knock at door]

After the invasion of Poland,

German aggression has become increasingly...

Why are you sitting here all alone and in the dark?

Aren't you coming to supper?

Hitler.

He certainly isn't invited.

It appears he wants to make a move northward. [radio switches off]

Norway? Mm...

Or Denmark.

Or both.

But those countries are neutral.

Explain that to Hitler.

Can he really afford to establish another front?

He can't afford not to.

Whoever controls Norway controls the steel.

And the Germans need a helluva lot of it.

When could this happen?

[sighs]: Anytime.

Soon.

WINSTON CHURCHILL [on radio]: Everyone wonders

what is happening about the war.

So far, it is the small neutral states

that are bearing the brunt

of German malice and cruelty.

And above all, the Norwegians have their ships destroyed

whenever they can be caught upon the high seas.

[speaking Norwegian]:

CHURCHILL: Every one of them is wondering

which will be the next victim.

[planes droning]

MAN:

[planes roaring low]

CHURCHILL: All of them hope that the storm will pass

There is no chance of a speedy end

except through united action.

Ah!

Your Highness.

I need to ask you.

Have you received any reports from the American intelligence?

I mean, regarding a threat of a German invasion.

Olav fears it could happen, but our government

seems to be more concerned about a British invasion.

Oh, believe me, Your Highness,

no one hopes more than I that Norway is spared from this war.

Please, if there is anything you know...

Anything.

Well... in times of war,

steel is more precious than gold,

so as long as most of Germany's iron

has to pass through Norway,

yes, there's a risk of invasion.

Please, Madam Ambassador,

is it imminent?

Prepare for the worst.
