00:02:57 Welcome to Melbourne. I bring you General MacArthur's compliments.

00:03:00 Thank you, sir.

00:03:01 I am Colonel Mason. These gentlemen are Major Arthur and Captain Lawrence.

00:03:04 How do you do?

00:03:05 How do you do? I'm Lieutenant Schwartz. These are Lieutenants Armstrong, Leonard, O'Doul, Bocelli, Bollenbacher, and Emerson.

00:03:21 I'm very happy to know you all, and thank God you're here.

00:03:25 We're sorry we haven't a big welcoming committee, but we're trying to avoid calling attention to your arrival since we haven't heard from the other girls yet.

00:03:32 Not even the girls on the other plane?

00:03:33 No word as yet.

00:03:35 Did any of the others get off?

00:03:36 We were told there were ten more by submarine, but we haven't heard from them since they left.

00:03:40 Aren't there any more? They said everyone was to be ordered off.

00:03:43 Everyone was ordered off, but we could only get about twenty before it was too late.

00:03:47 The rest of the girls are in the hands of those filthy...

00:03:51 Then we should have stayed.

00:03:52 You were carrying out your orders, and your further orders are to proceed immediately to the hotel where the Red Cross has warm baths and clean clothes for you.

00:04:01 And my further, though unofficial, orders are you are to have your heart's desire, anything you want.

00:04:08 And what do you want most in the world?

00:04:10 A tomato. A nice, big, red, cold, round, juicy tomato.

00:04:21 Colonel, do you happen to know when we're supposed to go home?

00:04:23 On the very next transport.

00:04:25 I thought there were eight of you.

00:04:27 Davy, I mean Lieutenant Davidson, is just being brought off.

00:04:42 (Music)

00:05:06 (Music)

00:05:09 I wore a 6A before, but I'm gonna...

00:05:13 Say, what do you know? I've forgotten how to walk in these things.

00:05:22 You better sit down before you break your neck, or else get a bigger size.

00:05:26 High heels, the things we do to trap men.

00:05:29 Boy, this is sure a relief.

00:05:32 I know people mean well, but it's nice to be by ourselves again.

00:05:36 Yeah, it gets embarrassing being called a heroine all the time.

00:05:39 What is a heroine anyway?

00:05:42 I don't know. Somebody who's still alive, I guess.

00:05:45 If anybody calls me a heroine again, I'm gonna let them have a tomato right in the puss.

00:05:50 Ethel, you'll bust if you eat another one.

00:05:55 I've lost 35 pounds in this campaign, and I've gotta get it back.

00:05:58 Keep 'em coming every 15 minutes, if it's not too much trouble.

00:06:01 No trouble at all. It's an honor and a privilege to be serving a group of heroines like you.

00:06:05 No, you can't.

00:06:07 This will be right here, nurse.

00:06:25 Yes, sir.

00:06:27 Yes, sir.

00:06:28 How is she, Patrick?

00:06:42 The closer we get to home, the worse she gets.

00:06:48 What do you think's wrong?

00:06:50 It's simple.

00:06:52 When people don't want to live, they die.

00:06:54 Oh, no. I know we did the wrong thing.

00:06:57 She didn't want to go. She wanted to stay.

00:06:59 And when we got her on the plane, she just collapsed.

00:07:01 If it were a mere physical collapse, I'd know what to do.

00:07:04 Frankly, I'm desperate.

00:07:08 I wonder...

00:07:15 I wonder, perhaps, if you can help me.

00:07:21 We'll do anything, doctor. Anything.

00:07:23 It's not going to be easy.

00:07:24 I hate to ask you, even.

00:07:28 I know how much you all want to forget what you've been through.

00:07:30 But I only have one hope left.

00:07:34 This letter is addressed to her.

00:07:38 Came through on the last plane from Indanao.

00:07:40 Who's the letter from, Major?

00:07:42 Signed by somebody called John.

00:07:44 Oh, Vess.

00:07:45 Just a moment, please.

00:07:46 I want you to tell me everything you can remember.

00:07:52 Things that might not even concern her.

00:07:55 You never know.

00:07:57 Might have its place in the pattern.

00:07:59 Well, the first time I met Lieutenant Davidson was last November.

00:08:04 We were all ordered to embark from San Francisco.

00:08:08 I remember it was cold and drizzly,

00:08:11 and I had been staying with Rosemary Larson.

00:08:14 It was her hometown, and her family had come down to the dock to see us off.

00:08:19 Goodbye, Mrs. Larson, and thanks for a wonderful time.

00:08:22 I don't know when I've had better.

00:08:24 You should have stayed around a little longer. I'd have made a real hep cat out of you.

00:08:26 I don't know about the hep.

00:08:28 Look, Mama, why don't you go? You'll catch cold.

00:08:31 I won't. I want to see you go.

00:08:34 Let Mama stay, Rosalie.

00:08:36 I think I was going away for good.

00:08:37 Davy.

00:08:42 I'm sorry.

00:08:43 Can I see you for a moment?

00:08:45 Mrs. Lieutenant O'Do.

00:08:47 All present at the counter for now, sir.

00:08:49 Thank you.

00:08:50 Are orchids regulation now, Lieutenant?

00:08:53 Oh, they're not mine. A friend of mine gave them to me.

00:08:56 Oh, I see.

00:08:57 Well, good luck, Lieutenant, and bon voyage.

00:09:00 Thank you, sir.

00:09:01 Davy, you've got to help me. I'm in a terrible jam.

00:09:03 What's the matter?

00:09:04 Two of my fiancés came down to the dock.

00:09:06 Two?

00:09:07 Well, you know how hard it is for me to say no.

00:09:09 When somebody asks me to marry him.

00:09:11 I thought it would be easy for you to say no by now.

00:09:13 Golly, it's all in fun.

00:09:15 If these two Irishmen ever meet up with each other,

00:09:17 I'll park one of them over at the gate.

00:09:19 There you are, darling.

00:09:21 I've been looking all over for you, Joan.

00:09:23 Well, I've been looking all over for you, too, dear.

00:09:25 You wait here. I'll be right back.

00:09:27 Don't forget to write, dear.

00:09:29 What does she mean, "Don't forget to write"?

00:09:33 Letters. You know, from the post office.

00:09:35 Well, she's not leaving yet.

00:09:36 Oh, Captain.

00:09:37 Captain, will you hold this for me just for a second?

00:09:39 And this, here.

00:09:40 But we haven't had a chance to say goodbye yet.

00:09:42 Oh, there's lots of time to say goodbye.

00:09:45 Say, who wrote that?

00:09:46 Who wrote what?

00:09:47 Uh, "Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky,

00:09:50 it turns and turns to say goodbye."

00:09:53 Kind of the faintest idea.

00:09:55 Oh, do you know the rest of it?

00:09:57 The rest of what?

00:09:58 The poem.

00:09:59 Oh, no, never did.

00:10:01 Well, it goes, "Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky,

00:10:04 it turns and turns to say goodbye."

00:10:06 Goodbye.

00:10:07 No, no, Captain, no. I remember the rest.

00:10:09 It, uh, uh, "Goodbye, dear clouds, so cool and gray.

00:10:13 And it goes, uh, something and something on its way."

00:10:17 What does?

00:10:19 Uh, the snowflake.

00:10:21 How's that look?

00:10:22 Oh, it looks great. You're pretty.

00:10:23 Thanks.

00:10:24 Davey, I want you to meet my mother and dad and my brother, Georgie.

00:10:27 Hold these, Georgie.

00:10:28 Bye, snowflake.

00:10:29 Thanks.

00:10:30 Mother, this is Lieutenant Davidson, our senior officer.

00:10:32 How do you do, Mrs. Larson?

00:10:33 How do you do?

00:10:34 I think we'd better be going.

00:10:36 Please, please.

00:10:40 This is her first time away. Take care of my baby.

00:10:43 Now, there's nothing to worry about, Mrs. Larson.

00:10:45 I will worry. Is it not so?

00:10:47 A mother must worry.

00:10:48 Yes, I suppose so.

00:10:50 The days will be lonesome now.

00:10:52 Oh, the two years will go like wildfire.

00:10:54 Yes, the years are short.

00:10:56 It's the days that are so long.

00:10:58 Now, don't you worry. I'll take care of Rosemary.

00:11:01 She'll be all right.

00:11:02 May God save you and keep you kindly

00:11:05 and stand between you and heart.

00:11:08 Thank you.

00:11:09 Thank you.

00:11:10 Thanks again, Mrs. Larson.

00:11:13 I like you. You eat so much.

00:11:16 Goodbye, Mother.

00:11:20 Now, where's my cake? What have you done with my cake?

00:11:23 Her cake, Frederica, cake.

00:11:24 Oh, I have it here.

00:11:26 Oh, Rosalina.

00:11:28 Rosalina.

00:11:30 Now, you've got me crying.

00:11:31 You look amazing.

00:11:33 But, darling, I did look all over for you.

00:11:36 Joan!

00:11:37 Where did you go?

00:11:38 Well, I...

00:11:39 Captain O'Rourke, I want you to meet Captain O'Brien.

00:11:41 You two should know each other.

00:11:43 Oh, there you are, Captain.

00:11:47 I just remembered the end.

00:11:48 The end of what?

00:11:49 Well, you know, the snowflake.

00:11:50 Oh, fine.

00:11:51 Goodbye, dear cloud, so cool and great,

00:11:53 then lightly travels on its way.

00:11:55 Yes.

00:11:56 Well, come on, Joe.

00:11:57 Goodbye, darling.

00:11:58 Goodbye.

00:11:59 Goodbye, dear.

00:12:00 Goodbye.

00:12:01 Goodbye.

00:12:02 Goodbye.

00:12:03 Thanks, pal.

00:12:06 I don't know whoever said the flesh was weak.

00:12:08 I find it very strong.

00:12:10 Say, you'll catch cold, Leatherneck.

00:12:15 Who, me?

00:12:16 Never had a cold in my life.

00:12:18 We were to be stationed at Honolulu,

00:12:32 and although the boat was a slow one,

00:12:34 we enjoyed every minute of it.

00:12:36 It was hard to believe it was December,

00:12:38 what with the tropical sea, blue water, and flying fish.

00:12:42 Hiya.

00:12:52 How's your cold, Leatherneck?

00:12:55 Oh, it's not a cold.

00:12:56 It's just a ruddy doze.

00:12:58 A ruddy...

00:12:59 You better not take too much of this tropical sun.

00:13:02 You'll get burned.

00:13:03 Who, me?

00:13:04 I'd have a bird.

00:13:05 Best tad you ever seen.

00:13:07 Woo-hoo!

00:13:14 Woo-hoo!

00:13:15 Woo-hoo!

00:13:16 Don't you ever get tired of writing letters?

00:13:23 Uh-uh.

00:13:24 All doctors.

00:13:26 Uh-huh.

00:13:27 What's the date?

00:13:28 It's Sunday.

00:13:29 We had chapel.

00:13:30 Sunday the what?

00:13:31 Sunday the, uh, seventh.

00:13:32 Seventh.

00:13:33 Thanks.

00:13:34 I'll just head at 18 shopping days until Christmas.

00:13:36 Maybe you'll take the hint.

00:13:37 Pearl Harbor.

00:13:41 Most of us didn't even know what it was,

00:13:43 let alone where it was.

00:13:45 So instead of landing at Hawaii,

00:13:47 we were ordered to join a convoy somewhere in the Pacific.

00:13:50 None of us realized what the whole thing meant.

00:13:53 [choral singing]

00:13:55 I'll open for two.

00:14:19 For three.

00:14:20 I'll see you.

00:14:22 I'll see.

00:14:23 I'll pass.

00:14:24 Go ahead, bet.

00:14:25 Well, I would.

00:14:27 You should see.

00:14:28 But you're not playing, Elsie.

00:14:29 Two, please.

00:14:30 I know it's not much of a convoy,

00:14:36 but somehow those other ships make me feel more comfortable.

00:14:39 It would be awful to be out here on the ocean all alone.

00:14:42 These'll do.

00:14:44 I'll have three, please.

00:14:46 Do you think Pearl Harbor could have been very much, Captain?

00:14:49 Well, there's no official word yet.

00:14:51 Still has to be proved that an airplane can sink a battleship, for my dough.

00:14:55 We probably won't see very much of the Jap fleet.

00:14:57 Is that Marine trying to get your attention?

00:15:01 Hmm?

00:15:02 Oh, him?

00:15:03 He's just a friend of mine from Kansas who wants to show me his clippings.

00:15:06 He used to play football, I gathered.

00:15:08 Football? Who is he?

00:15:09 I really don't know.

00:15:11 Let's find out, shall we?

00:15:13 Hey, Kansas!

00:15:14 Come on in!

00:15:17 This is Captain Saunders, Captain Lawrence.

00:15:19 How you doing? How you doing?

00:15:21 They thought they'd like to see a scrapbook. Read it to us.

00:15:24 Here with them?

00:15:25 Uh-huh.

00:15:26 Yes.

00:15:27 Go ahead.

00:15:28 Yes, ma'am.

00:15:29 Read about your greatest single personal exploit.

00:15:32 Oh, well...

00:15:33 What position did you play, Kansas?

00:15:35 Oh, I was a captain.

00:15:37 Oh, I see.

00:15:38 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:15:40 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:15:42 I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

00:15:44 What position did you play, Kansas?

00:15:46 Oh, I sort of flew around fullback.

00:15:49 I used to play...

00:15:50 Carry on.

00:15:51 Yes, sir.

00:15:53 One of the most thrilling gridiron battles of the year

00:15:58 when a light, underestimated Kansas team defeated Notre Dame...

00:16:02 Notre Dame?

00:16:03 I thought Kansas played only high schools.

00:16:05 No, sir. Played colleges.

00:16:07 Go ahead.

00:16:10 Yes, sir.

00:16:11 Though at the end of the first half, Notre Dame held a comfortable 14-0 margin...

00:16:16 Very comfortable, I'd say.

00:16:18 Margin.

00:16:22 Nonetheless, in the second half, when the highly touted Weeping Wolochuk,

00:16:27 despite an injury, was sent into the game,

00:16:29 the Kansas Cyclones scored three touchdowns in ten minutes on runs of...

00:16:34 Say, I remember that game. That was a terrific upset.

00:16:37 Did you play on the same team with Weeping Wolochuk?

00:16:39 Well, uh...

00:16:41 He's me.

00:16:42 Well, why didn't you tell us who he was?

00:16:45 I still don't know who he was.

00:16:47 Weeping Wolochuk?

00:16:48 Yes, I know, but why Weeping Wolochuk?

00:16:50 Well, just sort of a habit, I guess.

00:16:52 Everybody knew that until he got good and mad and started to cry, he couldn't play.

00:16:55 Then Zowie touched down.

00:16:57 Oh, yeah.

00:16:58 Well, that's very...

00:16:59 Come on, let's get on with the game.

00:17:00 Just a minute, Joan. I want to...

00:17:01 Where's that Army game?

00:17:02 It's right over here. I'll find it for you.

00:17:05 Weeping Wolochuk. What do you know?

00:17:09 The card game.

00:17:10 Just a minute, Joan. Be with you. Just a minute.

00:17:12 Hey, here it is.

00:17:13 I remember that game. Boy, what a game.

00:17:15 Boy, did you wreck the Army.

00:17:17 Yeah, well, it was just after that game that I sort of figured I'd better join the Marines.

00:17:21 (laughing)

00:17:23 Cigarette, the best.

00:17:29 Sorry.

00:17:31 (music playing)

00:17:33 What's the matter with me? Have I got dandruff or something?

00:17:44 I really can't tell out here in the dark.

00:17:46 That's not what I mean.

00:17:48 I know what you mean.

00:17:49 Mm-hmm.

00:17:50 Look, why won't you ever let me see you?

00:17:53 Officers are not supposed to fraternize with enlisted men.

00:17:56 I don't want to fraternize. I just want to see you.

00:18:00 And pass the time of day.

00:18:02 Well, it would be better than nothing.

00:18:03 Yes.

00:18:04 Sunburn.

00:18:07 Well, just stop your maneuvers before you make contact with the main body.

00:18:10 Uh, don't you like me?

00:18:13 Mm-hmm. I like you.

00:18:14 That's just sort of, uh, so what, huh?

00:18:17 That's right.

00:18:21 Uh, look, Lieutenant, if it's something I've done or if I just plain annoy you,

00:18:26 I'm sorry. It won't bother you anymore.

00:18:29 Well, don't go.

00:18:31 I'm just being childish.

00:18:34 I sure would like to meet one guy, though, who doesn't make a pass.

00:18:37 Well, when you do, you better begin to worry.

00:18:40 You're not so dumb.

00:18:42 I just talk dumb.

00:18:43 But why can't men and women be pals?

00:18:46 Because only men and men are pals.

00:18:49 All right, come on, get it over with.

00:18:51 Yes. Better.

00:18:53 Incidentally, I'm, uh, warning you, Kansas, I melt at a very low temperature.

00:18:57 Well, then I'll try to be pals.

00:18:59 Okay, and when you can't stand it any longer, from time to time, I'll let you kiss me.

00:19:03 (whistles)

00:19:05 This, uh, one of those times?

00:19:07 Nope.

00:19:08 Okay. Let me know.

00:19:11 Got him. Look back.

00:19:18 Something, yes?

00:19:19 (siren blaring)

00:19:22 (siren blaring)

00:19:24 (explosion)

00:19:43 (siren blaring)

00:19:45 (explosion)

00:19:47 (siren blaring)

00:19:49 (explosion)

00:19:51 (siren blaring)

00:19:53 We picked up a number of survivors from the torpedoed ships who were suffering from shock

00:20:02 and burns from the oil in the water.

00:20:04 They were pitifully few, but more than we could accommodate in sickbay,

00:20:07 so we turned the salon into a temporary hospital.

00:20:10 For a while, we were so busy, it kind of took our minds off the war.

00:20:13 One of the survivors, only slightly burned, was a nurse from the other ship.

00:20:17 Her name was Olivia.

00:20:19 We tried to be friendly, but she didn't want any part of us,

00:20:22 so we didn't want any part of her.

00:20:24 There you are, Olivia. I'm glad it was no more serious than that.

00:20:28 Happy to see you up and about again.

00:20:30 Thank you.

00:20:31 Oh, Olivia.

00:20:40 I'm glad to see your bandage off. Let's see.

00:20:43 It's fine.

00:20:46 You're a very lucky girl.

00:20:47 Lucky?

00:20:48 Well, yes. We didn't get many survivors.

00:20:50 That's one way of looking at it.

00:20:52 Why did that boat leave after Pearl Harbor?

00:20:56 I realize we need supplies in the Philippines, but...

00:20:58 I don't know, and I don't ask a lot of questions.

00:21:01 I see.

00:21:04 Incidentally, your orders came through. You're to join our unit.

00:21:07 Here are a couple of extra caps.

00:21:09 I've sent your new issue to room 10 on C deck.

00:21:12 You'll bunk in with Miss Bocelli.

00:21:14 She's already mentioned it to me.

00:21:16 She doesn't want me to.

00:21:18 Oh.

00:21:20 All right, I'll talk to her.

00:21:22 Let me have your scissors, Bocelli.

00:21:26 Tony, what's this about Olivia?

00:21:28 I just don't want her around.

00:21:30 But why? What's the matter?

00:21:31 Oversupply of gall.

00:21:33 Her gallbladder needs draining.

00:21:35 What she needs is a permanent anesthetic.

00:21:37 Of course, if it's an order, she can come in with me.

00:21:41 Never mind. I'll get someone else.

00:21:44 Joan.

00:21:45 Joan, do you mind Olivia bunking in with you?

00:21:47 What did I do to get punished?

00:21:49 I'd do it myself, only Rosemary's still a little homesick and frightened.

00:21:52 That Olivia, I'd like to give her an injection and leave the needle in,

00:21:55 but okay if I'm the victim.

00:21:56 Thanks.

00:21:57 I don't know why I'm so nice.

00:21:59 Look, I'm perfectly all right. When do I get up?

00:22:03 When you're told. Now take your shirt off, nice boy.

00:22:05 What for?

00:22:06 Because I've got some brand new diapers for you.

00:22:09 Oh, beautiful.

00:22:10 Tell me, do you think I can get my initials embroidered on those?

00:22:12 Sure, what are your initials? D-O-P-E?

00:22:14 Here.

00:22:15 Great. This is going to be fine.

00:22:17 Uh, what's that for?

00:22:21 A bath. I'm going to give you a bath.

00:22:22 Oh, no. No female's going to bathe me.

00:22:24 Oh, one of those.

00:22:26 Miss Davidson. Miss Davidson.

00:22:29 The patient's supposed to have a bath and refuses to let me give it to him.

00:22:36 Oh. All right, Miss O'Doole.

00:22:38 Thank you, nursey.

00:22:40 Lieutenant John Summers.

00:22:42 Mm-hmm.

00:22:43 With the medical unit.

00:22:44 Mm-hmm.

00:22:45 Fine. A doctor and you won't let a nurse wash you.

00:22:49 I'm not a doctor. I'm a technician.

00:22:51 I was associate professor of chemistry at Hawaii.

00:22:53 Oh, I see. A professor. Well, that explains it.

00:22:57 What are you doing?

00:22:58 You're going to have a bath and don't be coy.

00:23:01 I don't care how dirty I may be.

00:23:03 You reek. I can still smell that oil you were swimming in.

00:23:06 No female's going to bathe me.

00:23:09 Your mother did.

00:23:10 Only until I was big enough to knock her down.

00:23:12 Mm-hmm.

00:23:13 All right, now. Which is it to be? The sheet or your arm?

00:23:17 Angels of mercy, huh?

00:23:23 You're a bunch of wrestlers.

00:23:25 What's the matter?

00:23:29 My head.

00:23:31 Feel dizzy?

00:23:32 Yes.

00:23:33 No feeling in your hands and feet?

00:23:35 Yes, that's right.

00:23:36 You're lying.

00:23:37 When people get to know you awfully well, what do they call you?

00:23:58 Lieutenant.

00:24:00 Oh.

00:24:01 All right, turn over and get your back done.

00:24:03 Oh, this isn't as humiliating as I thought.

00:24:14 That's nice. Do it again.

00:24:19 Get down.

00:24:21 Since you like this so much, I'm going to let you do it every day.

00:24:24 Oh, that'll be such fun.

00:24:26 Now, turn over.

00:24:29 Here.

00:24:30 Most of the patients were up and about by Christmas Eve.

00:24:37 We'd been on the high seas for almost a month,

00:24:40 and the people were getting kind of jittery.

00:24:42 So the chaplain arranged with the captain to have a little Christmas party.

00:24:46 Joan, I think you were with Janet that evening.

00:24:49 Maybe you could tell what happened better than I.

00:24:51 Well, I was with Janet.

00:24:54 I remember we all decided to dress up.

00:24:56 I wanted to make an impression on Kansas,

00:24:59 and the only snaky thing I had was a black nightgown,

00:25:02 which, with a few trimmings, did for me.

00:25:05 Hey, Rosemary, give me a hand, will you?

00:25:09 Sure.

00:25:10 Davey, aren't you dressing for the party?

00:25:12 I don't think so, dear.

00:25:14 How about you?

00:25:15 Sorry.

00:25:16 This is for Lieutenant Davidson.

00:25:20 Thank you.

00:25:21 Doesn't Rosemary look nice in this?

00:25:24 Yes.

00:25:25 Where'd you get this?

00:25:26 Just part of an old surgical gown I dyed with mercurochrome.

00:25:29 It's nice.

00:25:48 I bet he's never seen you out of uniform.

00:25:51 Who?

00:25:52 Who do you think?

00:25:54 Oh, you mean Lieutenant Summers?

00:25:56 Oh, it's still formal with you two.

00:25:58 You'd better get informal with him, or other people will.

00:26:01 He's a pretty cute guy, you know.

00:26:03 Mm, pretty soigné, huh?

00:26:06 How does it look, Rosemary?

00:26:07 Haven't you got anything simpler?

00:26:09 Simpler?

00:26:10 Well, I have some other things in my musette bag.

00:26:12 I don't know if you'd call them simple.

00:26:14 Come on in.

00:26:15 It's over there somewhere.

00:26:17 This ought to be about right, the locket.

00:26:19 Oh, that isn't mine.

00:26:20 It must be Olivia's.

00:26:21 Let's see.

00:26:22 I don't think she'd mind.

00:26:24 I'll lock it.

00:26:25 Hello, Olivia.

00:26:29 Take that off.

00:26:30 Well, I only want to wear it tonight.

00:26:32 I said take that off.

00:26:33 What do you mean snooping around in my things?

00:26:35 She didn't.

00:26:36 I found it.

00:26:37 I'm not going to let you take it off.

00:26:39 I'm not going to let you take it off.

00:26:41 I'm not going to let you take it off.

00:26:43 I'm not going to let you take it off.

00:26:45 I found it.

00:26:46 Say, who do you think you are?

00:26:48 Oh, you want to play rough.

00:26:50 Davy, Davy!

00:26:52 Stop it.

00:26:53 Stop it.

00:26:54 She started it, and I don't get slugged by any of this.

00:26:56 Stop it.

00:26:57 Now, I order you to stop it.

00:26:58 What are you, a couple of children?

00:27:00 Now, what's up?

00:27:01 Sorry, Davy.

00:27:02 It was my fault, Davy.

00:27:03 By mistake, I opened Olivia's musette bag.

00:27:05 She had no right to open it.

00:27:06 She said it was a mistake.

00:27:07 Now, I don't care whose fault it was.

00:27:09 You were both wrong.

00:27:10 You realize that, don't you?

00:27:11 I don't want to have to take any official action.

00:27:13 Now, look, I know we're all nervous and jittery on a boat,

00:27:16 going nowhere, getting nowhere,

00:27:18 but we've just got to hang on a little longer, that's all.

00:27:21 I don't want this to go outside this cabin.

00:27:23 Now, forget it and shake hands.

00:27:25 Sorry, Olivia.

00:27:26 All right, Joan.

00:27:30 Joan's just impulsive.

00:27:39 She didn't really mean any harm.

00:27:42 Come on.

00:27:43 Why don't you go up with me, hmm?

00:27:45 Maybe our last party in a long time.

00:27:47 Leave me alone, can't you?

00:27:50 [sighs]

00:27:51 [door opens]

00:27:54 [choir singing]

00:27:57 [choir singing]

00:28:00 [choir singing]

00:28:02 [choir singing]

00:28:07 [choir singing]

00:28:13 [choir singing]

00:28:27 [choir singing]

00:28:29 [choir singing]

00:28:40 [choir singing]

00:28:52 [choir singing]

00:28:54 Merry Christmas.

00:29:07 Merry Christmas.

00:29:09 May I have your attention, please?

00:29:13 Thank you.

00:29:16 I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun here tonight.

00:29:18 Now, uh, before we begin,

00:29:21 I personally want to thank the chaplain

00:29:23 for producing this sea-going Christmas tree.

00:29:25 [applause]

00:29:27 That's true.

00:29:29 All right, Reverend, it's your party.

00:29:31 Oh, thanks.

00:29:33 Uh...

00:29:34 Before we get on with it,

00:29:38 there is something in my heart that I would like to say to you.

00:29:41 This is the night before Christmas,

00:29:44 and because it is, you must forgive me for being sentimental.

00:29:47 We're a sentimental people,

00:29:49 and I think we're proud of it.

00:29:51 Despite the fact that our enemies deride us for it,

00:29:55 it makes us the stronger.

00:29:57 It is ironic even to try to talk about the spirit of Christmas

00:30:02 when war is flaming throughout the globe.

00:30:05 But we believe in this great truth.

00:30:09 And so all I want to say

00:30:13 in the tragedy all about us

00:30:15 is have faith.

00:30:18 Not a blind faith,

00:30:21 but faith in those things in which we believe.

00:30:25 We must have such faith in those things,

00:30:28 such faith in ourselves,

00:30:30 such faith in mankind,

00:30:32 that we are tough about the things we believe in,

00:30:36 so tough that we will fight to the death

00:30:40 to make those tender and sentimental beliefs

00:30:45 like Christmas

00:30:48 a reality forever.

00:30:52 Now, God bless us, everyone.

00:30:55 And let me wish you a merry Christmas.

00:31:08 How about some music?

00:31:10 Hey, Cat.

00:31:29 Why don't you come on in?

00:31:31 All the rules are off tonight.

00:31:33 It's Christmas.

00:31:35 Yeah, a fine Christmas. No mistletoe.

00:31:38 All right, if it means that much to you here.

00:31:42 Merry Christmas.

00:31:51 See?

00:31:53 What'd I tell you?

00:31:55 - Get my present? - Oh, yes, thank you.

00:32:01 Well, what's mine to return?

00:32:04 My thanks.

00:32:06 I suppose I'll have to be satisfied with just that.

00:32:10 You realize this is the first time you've been in my arms?

00:32:14 Oh, I've been in lots of arms.

00:32:16 Yes, but these are mine. I want you to get used to them.

00:32:20 Say, Kansas, you know we've never danced together.

00:32:25 - Oh, wanna? - Can you?

00:32:28 Sure, I just, uh, fool around a little bit.

00:32:32 - I'll tell you how you dance. - Hey, don't waste the dance.

00:32:35 - Pretty hot stuff, huh? - Oh.

00:32:38 - What's the matter with you, Davey? - Why?

00:32:53 You seem to be smiling all over.

00:32:56 Good heavens. Aren't you in bed yet?

00:33:00 Believe it or not, I was on the top deck with Kansas singing Christmas carols.

00:33:04 Can I bunk in here, Davey?

00:33:06 Oh, did you have another row with Olivia?

00:33:08 No, but she's scary. She just lies there and stares and never goes to sleep.

00:33:12 It's like sleeping in a graveyard.

00:33:15 Okay, you take my bet. I'll try it for the night anyway.

00:33:18 - Thanks, pal. - Has she ever opened up?

00:33:21 - Ever give you a hint of what's wrong? - There's nothing wrong.

00:33:24 She's just naturally a frozen-faced ghoul.

00:33:28 - Are you asleep, Olivia? - No.

00:33:31 - Do you mind if I turn on the light? - No.

00:33:35 - Is it all right if I bunk in here? - Yes.

00:33:40 What's the matter, Olivia?

00:33:47 - I'm just a little sleepy. - Oh, I see.

00:33:50 - I'll get you some water. - No, I'm fine.

00:33:53 - I'll get you some water. - No, I'm fine.

00:33:56 Olivia, something's hurt you. Why don't you talk about it?

00:33:59 Get it off your chest.

00:34:01 You can forget I'm your superior officer.

00:34:03 It's none of your business, so don't forget you are my superior officer.

00:34:07 Maybe if I knew what was eating you, I could help.

00:34:12 Nobody can. I don't want anybody to try.

00:34:15 I can do it myself.

00:34:17 - Why did you lose your temper when Joan... - Put that down.

00:34:24 Do I go through your things?

00:34:27 I don't think we'd better talk anymore. I'm beginning to get pretty sore.

00:34:30 All right, so you're beginning to get sore. Enjoy it.

00:34:32 But stop prying into things that don't concern you.

00:34:35 Maybe it does concern me.

00:34:37 It concerns me that the morale of this group remains high.

00:34:40 Until you joined up, it was. But you're just a troublemaker.

00:34:44 Look, I don't really care what's bothering you at all.

00:34:47 I don't like you any more than the rest of the girls do.

00:34:50 I'm supposed to be a nurse, and that's all.

00:34:52 No, there's more than that now that we're at war.

00:34:55 Maybe you don't know what's up.

00:34:57 Maybe you don't know what we're doing here.

00:34:59 You think I don't know? All right, I'll tell you.

00:35:02 I know what I'm doing. I know why I'm here.

00:35:04 I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to kill Japs.

00:35:07 Every blood-stained one I can get my hands on.

00:35:10 - Olivia. - That doesn't sound nice coming from a nurse, does it?

00:35:13 We're supposed to be angels of mercy.

00:35:15 We're supposed to tend to the wounded and take care of the sick.

00:35:17 We're supposed to be kind and tender and serve humanity in the name of humanity.

00:35:20 What humanity? Jap humanity?

00:35:22 - Olivia, be quiet. - No, you asked me.

00:35:24 You wanted to know. You pried into things that didn't concern you.

00:35:27 You wanted to know what this is.

00:35:29 Look. Look at that. Do you know what it is?

00:35:32 I'll tell you. It's a boy.

00:35:35 Come in, both of you. You wanted to know, too.

00:35:38 Today is Christmas, isn't it?

00:35:40 The time for cheer and good fellowship and for peace.

00:35:43 Well, today's my wedding day. You see that?

00:35:46 He and I would have been married today in St. Louis.

00:35:49 And why weren't we? Because he's dead.

00:35:52 He died that first morning. They killed him.

00:35:55 I saw him. He was running across the field to his plane, and they killed him.

00:36:00 60 bullets. 60.

00:36:02 By the time I got to him, he was dead.

00:36:05 His face was gone. I couldn't see him anymore.

00:36:08 Just blood. Blood all over.

00:36:11 - Olivia. - Don't.

00:36:15 Let me go. Let me go. They must be punished.

00:36:18 - And I'm going to punish them. - Yes, dear.

00:36:21 He was dead. It was ended for him.

00:36:24 - Oh, Olivia, dear. - I wanted him.

00:36:28 - He was all I had. - Yes, dear.

00:36:31 I loved him so much.

00:36:34 The next few days, we really began to get jittery.

00:36:38 The Japs kept jamming our radios, so we never knew what was going on.

00:36:42 And the rumor factory was going full blast.

00:36:47 All over Los Angeles.

00:36:50 Quiet. Listen.

00:36:53 - It seems Honolulu itself was... - Maybe it is so.

00:36:56 We just heard on the radio that we lost Honolulu.

00:36:59 How could you hear that? I heard it, too. All it said was "blah, blah, blah, Honolulu."

00:37:03 - San Francisco's in flames. I know that. - Tony, turn that thing down.

00:37:07 You talk like a bunch of old women. You know what I think?

00:37:10 I think you better all give up thinking for the duration.

00:37:13 We haven't lost Honolulu, and there's been no bombing either in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

00:37:17 - Who said so? - I just read the communique the captain got.

00:37:21 The truth is, Manila's been declared an open city.

00:37:24 - What does that mean? - It means we can't land there.

00:37:27 - Well, then, are we going back home? - We can't go back.

00:37:30 The army needs what supplies we've got on board.

00:37:32 We've been ordered to a place called Bataan, Bataan Peninsula.

00:37:35 It's in command of General MacArthur.

00:37:37 Well, if it's good enough for a general, it's good enough for me, as long as they got plenty to eat.

00:37:41 I only hope it's got a decent beauty parlor. My hair's a mess.

00:37:44 - Oh, hello. - Well, hello.

00:37:54 Have you been trying to avoid me?

00:37:57 - Frankly, I have. - Why?

00:38:00 Oh, because... because I've been trying to avoid you.

00:38:03 Well, let's get away from here. The noise of these engines...

00:38:06 - I find the noise very reassuring. - Oh, come on.

00:38:10 - Now, I don't want to seem impetuous. - You don't?

00:38:13 All right, I do want to seem impetuous, then.

00:38:15 - But the point is, anything can happen. - Such as?

00:38:18 - The boat might sink. - Oh, it might.

00:38:21 If it does, we might never see each other again.

00:38:24 - That's possible. - Perhaps someplace in the hereafter.

00:38:29 Then I wouldn't have my body.

00:38:31 What's more important, you wouldn't have yours either.

00:38:34 That might be very interesting.

00:38:37 - Well, I'll see you there sometime. - Wait a minute.

00:38:40 I haven't made my point yet.

00:38:42 After all, I'm not so bad-looking. I'm supposed to be very intelligent, in fact.

00:38:46 I work hard. I make $5,000 a year.

00:38:48 Oh, you make $166 a month now.

00:38:51 Please, I mean this. I'm in love with you, lieutenant.

00:38:55 If only we'd met somewhere else before.

00:38:58 You'd have had a wonderful time, was I, would you?

00:39:01 - You think so? - I'm positive.

00:39:03 I'd have really been foolish. I feel foolish enough to be in love with you.

00:39:06 I feel foolish enough now, but then I would have spent sleepless nights.

00:39:10 Bought flowers to lay at your feet. Flowers I couldn't possibly have afforded.

00:39:14 I'd have been over meticulous with you in taxi cabs,

00:39:16 knowing, of course, you're not that kind of girl.

00:39:19 At first, I think my dog-like devotion would have made you pity me a little.

00:39:23 And then my fatal charm would have snuck up on you,

00:39:25 and before you knew it, you'd be mine.

00:39:27 In some dingy little French restaurant,

00:39:30 where the wine wasn't too bad.

00:39:33 But with all that's happening, I don't have to be ridiculous for you to love me.

00:39:37 There's no time. Out there, the second a torpedo may be spinning its way toward us.

00:39:41 And you've no time either.

00:39:43 I think when you knew me, you'd love me, but there's no time.

00:39:45 Don't you see we haven't got a second to waste?

00:39:48 You're right.

00:39:50 There's no time. No time for anything personal.

00:39:54 Thanks for everything you said.

00:39:57 Maybe everything you say is true,

00:39:59 and maybe you wouldn't have had to do all those things.

00:40:01 I'd have stopped you the moment I knew.

00:40:03 - You know now, don't you? - No, please, John, don't make it difficult.

00:40:06 I've been trying to avoid you. That ought to tell you something.

00:40:09 I can't love you. I won't permit myself to.

00:40:11 - Why not? - Because I've got a job to do.

00:40:14 What's that got to do with it? We've all got jobs to do.

00:40:16 I know, but our responsibilities are greater now.

00:40:18 Nothing can stand in the way.

00:40:20 You do look a little foolish.

00:40:27 I wish we had met somewhere in a dingy little French restaurant.

00:40:31 But maybe we will.

00:40:33 Good night.

00:40:35 - Let me kiss you goodbye, then? - No.

00:40:37 Just once?

00:40:39 - Oh, no, please. - Please.

00:40:44 - What's the matter? - Listen, the engines have stopped.

00:40:56 Your life preserver.

00:40:58 - Where's your life preserver? - I left it in the cabin.

00:41:00 - Here, take mine. - No. - Take it.

00:41:03 Darling, before anything happens, tell me, do you love me?

00:41:05 - No. - You're lying. You do love me.

00:41:07 - Yes. - Well, say it, then.

00:41:09 - I love you. - You'd better get down to your stations.

00:41:11 What do the engines stop for?

00:41:13 They run up the cabin. I'm sure he'd be delighted to tell you over scotch and soda.

00:41:16 - It's one of ours? - Sounds like it.

00:41:19 It is. It's a PBY.

00:41:26 I guess Bataan can't be so very far away.

00:41:29 We landed at Maraveles, a small, snug harbor on Bataan Peninsula...

00:41:38 ...which the navy used as an emergency supply base.

00:41:42 - Lieutenant Davidson? - Yes, sir.

00:41:44 - The C.O. wants to see you immediately. - Yes, sir.

00:41:46 - This is Ling Chi. - How do you do?

00:41:48 He's going to drive you to your destination. You leave right away.

00:41:50 - Mr. Ling will take you to the C.O. - Thank you.

00:41:53 - You're going to be all right. - Thank you.

00:42:00 - You're going to be all right. - Thank you.

00:42:02 - You're going to be all right. - Thank you.

00:42:04 - You're going to be all right. - Thank you.

00:42:06 - You're going to be all right. - Thank you.

00:42:09 It's good to be on land again.

00:42:11 Have you been in the army long, Mr. Ling?

00:42:13 No, I was editor of the Chinese Advertiser.

00:42:15 And I'm happy to say, like Abu Ben Adam...

00:42:18 ...my name led all the rest on the Japanese blacklist.

00:42:21 Girls, this is Mr. Ling Chi, who's going to be with us for the rest of the trip.

00:42:25 Now, each one find her own duffel bag.

00:42:27 Heat big war. Him near here, savvy.

00:42:30 I'm a Chinese lieutenant, not an Indian.

00:42:33 The war is just beyond the mountains.

00:42:36 The war is just beyond the mountains.

00:42:38 Sir, Lieutenant Davidson.

00:42:47 - Colonel White. - I thought it might be you when I saw the name.

00:42:52 - My goodness, you've grown into a beautiful woman. - Oh, thank you.

00:42:55 - Where was it? - Shanghai.

00:42:57 Oh, I remember now. It was just after you lost your dad.

00:43:00 - Well, welcome to Bataan. - Thank you, sir.

00:43:02 - And you're in the army too? - Yes, and very happy.

00:43:05 - Happier still that you're our CO. - I'm a terribly strict disciplinarian, Janet.

00:43:09 Now, these are your orders.

00:43:11 To proceed immediately to Lamai, our number one base hospital.

00:43:15 Now, here's Lamai.

00:43:19 This is where you landed at Mariveles.

00:43:21 And over there is Corregidor.

00:43:23 And up there beyond Lamai, about 40 kilometers to the front lines.

00:43:26 Thank you, sir.

00:43:28 Pardon me, Colonel White. Where is the fourth medical unit?

00:43:33 Fourth unit? Let me see.

00:43:35 They were the first ones off. They disembarked early this afternoon.

00:43:38 - Oh, they've gone. - To what base, sir?

00:43:40 Base? They're based on the front lines.

00:43:43 They're probably there by now.

00:43:45 - The technicians too? - Well, there's nothing for them to get technical with.

00:43:49 Except maybe a stretcher.

00:43:51 Thank you, sir.

00:43:54 Hey, John!

00:44:03 Hi, Kansas.

00:44:05 Gosh, you've been looking all over for me. I just wanted to say so long.

00:44:09 No, I'll be seeing you.

00:44:11 Kansas, are you scared too?

00:44:14 You mean you feel as if you've suddenly lost your belly?

00:44:18 - Yeah. - Me too.

00:44:20 But that's just like in a football game.

00:44:22 You stand there and wait for the whistle to blow.

00:44:25 And all of a sudden your knees get like water and you feel like you're thrown up.

00:44:30 Then all of a sudden it toots.

00:44:32 Oh, don't do that.

00:44:35 And then the first thing you know, you're in there and you're not scared anymore.

00:44:39 I hope so. So long, Kansas.

00:44:42 - And don't get lost. - Who, me?

00:44:45 - How could I get lost? - Hey.

00:44:47 - Your gang went in the other direction. - Well, I...

00:44:50 Thank you.

00:44:54 - Don't let anything happen to you. - Who, me?

00:44:56 How could anything happen to me?

00:44:58 How could anything happen to me?

00:45:00 Look, don't say anything else except goodbye.

00:45:16 Goodbye.

00:45:18 Here's some gum. A little farewell present for the girls.

00:45:24 - Thank you. So long. - So long, girls.

00:45:27 - Bye-bye. - See you later.

00:45:29 We arrived at Lamai late that night.

00:45:40 It was a dusty little village where the army had established a small supply base.

00:45:44 But with a sudden change in plans,

00:45:46 the warehouses became hospitals and headquarters for the nurses.

00:45:50 This was to be our home.

00:45:52 We were glad to be there,

00:45:54 but we had the thought of a night's sleep on solid earth.

00:45:57 Oh, we're glad to see you.

00:46:00 - The old hawk still hasn't changed a bit. - Yeah.

00:46:05 - One at a time. - Shh.

00:46:07 - Captain McGregor? - Yes.

00:46:13 - Lieutenant Davidson reporting. - Well, you finally got here.

00:46:16 - Hello, Ma. - Oh, Jewel, isn't it?

00:46:18 Yes, Fort Sam Houston. We used to call her Ma at Fort Sam.

00:46:21 - Her bite's much worse than her bark. - But I bark, too.

00:46:23 Now you better all dive into your whites. I'll get you some GI tomorrow.

00:46:26 You can't wear whites here. The nearest laundry is in Manila.

00:46:29 We need you right away.

00:46:31 Some of our girls have forgotten what the word "sleep" means.

00:46:34 Chi, show them to nurses' quarters.

00:46:37 Now get a move on, will you? I'm glad you're here.

00:46:39 Thank you.

00:46:41 - Captain? - Yes?

00:46:46 - Do you have any Japanese wounded here? - A few.

00:46:49 - I'd like to handle them. - You know their language?

00:46:52 No, but I'm anxious to learn.

00:46:54 Well, I guess you can be accommodated. I'll put you down for Ward 11.

00:46:58 Thank you, Captain. The name is Darcy.

00:47:01 - Be careful of the foxholes. - Where are they?

00:47:09 - They're all over. - Well, can't you see them?

00:47:11 - No. - Well, then how do you know where they are?

00:47:13 If you fall in one, you'll know.

00:47:16 - Uh, this is Ward 7. - That's me.

00:47:19 - Next to it is the children's ward. - Oh, that's for me.

00:47:22 - See you later, kids. - Bye.

00:47:24 And this is the surgery.

00:47:26 Come on, Rosemary, you go with me.

00:47:28 - Good night, girls. - Good night.

00:47:30 - Over there is Number 3. - Number 3, that's me.

00:47:33 This is Ward Number 11. This is where we keep the prisoners.

00:47:38 - Why aren't the numbers in order? - Oh, well, we'll mix them up...

00:47:40 so as to confuse the chaps and ourselves.

00:47:43 - I guess we'll be starting here. - They certainly aren't confusing me.

00:47:46 ( indistinct chatter )

00:47:50 ( music playing )

00:48:18 - Oh, I'm Dorsey. - Patterson.

00:48:21 Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

00:48:23 I'm sorry, but they all need their dressings changed...

00:48:26 when you get around to it.

00:48:28 - Run along. I'll take over. - Thanks.

00:48:30 - Good night. - Good night.

00:48:32 ( music playing )

00:48:59 ( indistinct chatter )

00:49:02 - It's just exhaustion. - Oh, the poor kid.

00:49:08 Get her to bed. We'll take over.

00:49:11 - Where are your surgery masks? - Masks? We used them all up long ago.

00:49:14 - You go on in. I'll have to scrub again. - You go on in. I'll have to scrub again.

00:49:17 ( speaking in foreign language )

00:49:20 - I'm sorry. I can't understand you. - I'm sorry.

00:49:23 I tore my glove. Help me out with a new one, please.

00:49:26 ( speaking in foreign language )

00:49:29 I mean, hurry, please.

00:49:32 - What is the case, Doctor? - Cesarean.

00:49:34 - Cesarean? - Yes.

00:49:36 You seem surprised.

00:49:38 I have a peacetime practice as well as a wartime practice.

00:49:42 My name is Jose Padilla, University of Philippines and Johns Hopkins.

00:49:46 - I'm Miss Larson. - Those are good hands for surgery.

00:49:49 We can use them here. All right, Miss Larson.

00:49:54 Forgive me if I talk while I'm operating.

00:49:56 I'm so used to lecturing to my students.

00:49:59 Sponge.

00:50:01 Sometimes I thank my stars for my scientific education.

00:50:05 It makes me objective.

00:50:07 Broken bone. Let's set it. You know what to do.

00:50:11 A baby to be born. Breach delivery.

00:50:14 Porceps. Only three out of five live.

00:50:17 Live for what?

00:50:19 Don't people die fast enough without destroying each other?

00:50:23 Is life too long?

00:50:25 Sponge.

00:50:27 No, we mustn't ask that.

00:50:29 That's not scientific.

00:50:31 I wonder how scientific those still heaps out there on the battlefield feel.

00:50:36 Guns, machines, men, so much rubbish.

00:50:40 What was it my student asked?

00:50:43 Chemically, a man is worth 97 cents.

00:50:46 Probably a dollar five.

00:50:49 What with the shortage of parts and monopoly now, the dead have risen in value.

00:50:54 Two for a dollar 98, a dollar a day.

00:50:57 Doctor, the patient.

00:50:59 We have done all we can for her.

00:51:01 She will die soon of a bullet wound she received two days ago.

00:51:05 When the baby started to come, it was too much for her.

00:51:08 Die.

00:51:10 Now where were we in the lecture?

00:51:15 This little fellow we're about to introduce to the world tonight.

00:51:19 What bore him? I don't know.

00:51:22 They forgot to teach me about spirits somewhere.

00:51:26 97 cents worth of body but a priceless spirit.

00:51:30 [baby crying]

00:51:51 May he be born to live in freedom.

00:51:58 And then Superman with one hand held a streamliner

00:52:01 and with the other one tore down the bridge and thus saved the life of his sweetheart.

00:52:05 My translator.

00:52:12 She wants to know if Superman is so good rising to here.

00:52:18 She would. Tell her he just landed with the Marines.

00:52:21 We call him Kansas.

00:52:23 Oh, Miss Davidson.

00:52:25 Here's your list.

00:52:27 You sign all your girls. I'll see you in the morning.

00:52:29 Darcy with the Japanese wounded.

00:52:31 What is it?

00:52:33 Olivia.

00:52:44 Olivia.

00:52:46 It's all right. I couldn't do it.

00:52:50 I didn't have the guts to, I suppose.

00:52:53 I couldn't kill even a wounded rat.

00:52:56 There's no reason to worry. I was just a little silly.

00:52:59 Don't you think it would be better if I took over?

00:53:01 No, not at all. There's nothing wrong here.

00:53:03 Is there, Olivia?

00:53:05 No.

00:53:07 You don't want anyone to leave you now.

00:53:09 Oh.

00:53:10 Right. I'll see you later.

00:53:12 We soon found out how right McGregor was about wearing whites.

00:53:21 The next day, the quartermaster gave us some men's coveralls,

00:53:24 as well as their shoes and underwear.

00:53:26 It seemed as if no man in the Army wore anything smaller than size 46.

00:53:31 The next couple of weeks were misleading,

00:53:50 as the pressure from the enemy got to be routine to us,

00:53:53 and the wounded kept pouring in from the daily engagements.

00:53:56 But the most terrible thing was our medical supplies were beginning to run low.

00:54:00 And the same food over and over.

00:54:03 Carabao meat, tea, and a bit of rice.

00:54:06 Occasionally, we got a mule steak.

00:54:08 It was so stubborn, it stuck in your throat.

00:54:11 Most of us slept in GI underwear,

00:54:14 except Joan, who had clung desperately to her black silk nightgown.

00:54:19 Good morning, sunshine.

00:54:21 Good morning, Joan.

00:54:23 Hello.

00:54:24 Hi.

00:54:25 You know, she's gonna wear that black nightgown right up to the pearly gates.

00:54:29 She says it keeps her morale up, and it does.

00:54:33 You tired?

00:54:34 I'm numb.

00:54:36 And do my feet hurt?

00:54:39 If I didn't see mine from time to time, I wouldn't know I had them.

00:54:43 You know, that little Filipino scout with the abdomen wound's gonna be all right.

00:54:47 Well, you're doing a grand job, Livvy.

00:54:51 Who isn't?

00:54:53 Thanks, baby.

00:54:54 For what?

00:54:56 I can't say it exactly.

00:54:59 But for what you did.

00:55:01 Setting me straight, I mean.

00:55:03 You set yourself straight.

00:55:05 You were so right in letting me fight it out for myself.

00:55:08 I guess if you work long enough and hard enough, you do forget.

00:55:13 Almost.

00:55:16 You want to talk about him?

00:55:17 No.

00:55:18 No point.

00:55:20 At least I don't want to die anymore.

00:55:22 I have too much to do.

00:55:24 You never did, really.

00:55:25 Yes, I did.

00:55:26 There didn't seem to be anything left.

00:55:29 I think I know how you feel.

00:55:34 Worried about your lieutenant?

00:55:38 I haven't heard a thing since we left the boat.

00:55:44 Out, everybody, out. Emergency.

00:55:47 Wait.

00:55:48 Oh, no, you take a nap. I'll call you later.

00:55:50 Come on, girls.

00:55:51 Emergency, Jones.

00:55:52 What's up?

00:55:54 It looks like another convoy of wounded.

00:55:56 Come out to surgery.

00:55:57 Right.

00:55:59 I've got an emergency of my own.

00:56:07 There's no use, Colonel. I can't take any more wounded.

00:56:11 I'm sure we have no more beds.

00:56:12 You've got to do something, Ma.

00:56:14 I'll run over to the jungle hospital tomorrow.

00:56:15 Maybe I can steal some there.

00:56:17 Hello, Colonel White.

00:56:18 Oh, hello, Janet.

00:56:19 How many empty beds have we?

00:56:20 We have none.

00:56:21 Schwartz, you better get over to surgery.

00:56:23 Yes, Captain McGregor.

00:56:24 Davidson, take over in my office, will you?

00:56:26 Did I hear the name Davidson?

00:56:27 Yes.

00:56:28 Oh, Janet, this is my son, Flight Lieutenant Archie McGregor.

00:56:31 How do you do?

00:56:32 Flying with the infantry now.

00:56:33 Oh, how did that happen?

00:56:34 We just got caught with our planes down.

00:56:36 I've heard quite a lot about you from John Summers.

00:56:39 John? Well, where is he?

00:56:41 In the mess hall.

00:56:42 Oh, thank you.

00:56:43 John!

00:56:47 Hiya, Davy.

00:57:03 Hello, darling.

00:57:04 Oh, say, it feels better without the whiskers.

00:57:08 You finished?

00:57:09 Yes. Did you get some sleep?

00:57:10 Best I've ever had.

00:57:11 You're a perfect sedative.

00:57:12 Well, let's call a taxi.

00:57:14 Where's the nearest nightclub?

00:57:15 No, you're going for a walk.

00:57:17 A walk I've taken so many times, talking to you, even though you weren't there.

00:57:21 No taxis tonight.

00:57:23 Have you seen Miss Davidson?

00:57:29 Well, she finished her duty about 15 minutes ago and then said she was--

00:57:32 Oh, no, that wasn't her.

00:57:33 We haven't seen her at all.

00:57:34 If you see her, tell her I want her to report to me immediately.

00:57:37 Yes, Mama.

00:57:39 Oh, this.

00:57:40 Keeps up my morale.

00:57:41 This is it.

00:57:51 The Patan River.

00:57:53 You wouldn't even know there's a war going on here.

00:57:57 That was the idea.

00:57:59 Darling, was it terrible up there?

00:58:04 It wasn't pretty.

00:58:06 We're so outnumbered.

00:58:07 Sometimes the Jap losses were 300 to 1.

00:58:09 Still, they kept pouring them in.

00:58:11 That dive bomb was ever the worst.

00:58:13 Up and down every road, all day, all night.

00:58:16 Those Filipino scouts, our poor guys sleeping on their rifles and machine guns.

00:58:21 The bravest men I've ever even heard of.

00:58:23 They must be.

00:58:25 They don't give quarter and they don't ask for any.

00:58:28 I can't figure it out.

00:58:29 Figure what?

00:58:30 Why they do it.

00:58:32 There's something other than just fighting against the Japs.

00:58:35 These fellows aren't a bit afraid to die.

00:58:37 That's our air raid signal.

00:58:41 Mama, that's the trench over there.

00:58:42 It's the only nice thing the Japs have done so far this war.

00:58:57 Oh, look.

00:59:00 You see, we have nothing but the best.

00:59:05 You know, sometimes I thought you might forget me.

00:59:07 I tried to.

00:59:09 You did? What for?

00:59:11 Because you trouble me so much.

00:59:14 I'm sorry.

00:59:15 You know, everything that happens, everything I do, you're part of it.

00:59:20 I can't get you out of my mind.

00:59:23 Don't try.

00:59:24 I'm not going to anymore.

00:59:27 It's the reconnaissance, I guess.

00:59:34 Why are you looking at me like that for?

00:59:36 I want to remember exactly how you look.

00:59:39 You know, sometimes I couldn't even remember the color of your eyes.

00:59:43 Your whole face was hazy.

00:59:45 That's when I look my best.

00:59:47 Thank God I had you to think about out there.

00:59:50 I still don't think you should go back.

00:59:53 Yeah, you know better than that.

00:59:55 I have a feeling that if you go back, I'll never see you again.

00:59:59 Don't worry. Believe me, I'll take care of myself for you.

01:00:02 I promise you won't worry.

01:00:04 I promise.

01:00:07 But I'll worry.

01:00:09 That's the all clear.

01:00:16 Well, I guess we better get back.

01:00:19 We better get back.

01:00:20 [phone ringing]

01:00:22 [music playing]

01:00:25 [music playing]

01:00:28 [music playing]

01:00:30 [car horn honking]

01:00:54 [car horn honking]

01:00:56 [car horn honking]

01:01:14 Deb, what's up?

01:01:17 We've got orders to evacuate.

01:01:18 Are they that close?

01:01:19 I don't know. We've just been told to clear out of here.

01:01:23 Captain McGregor, how close are they?

01:01:25 Where have you been? I told you to report.

01:01:27 I wasn't able to get back, but what I want to know--

01:01:29 Davidson, I discovered you went out with Lieutenant Sumners.

01:01:31 I'm warning you.

01:01:33 If there's a repetition of anything like this, I shall order you to pack up

01:01:36 and recommend a dishonorable discharge.

01:01:38 As a girl whose people have been in the army all their lives,

01:01:41 you wouldn't want that to happen.

01:01:43 No, I wouldn't.

01:01:45 Thank you, Captain.

01:01:46 Okay, then we'll forget the whole incident.

01:01:48 Now, I have orders here to evacuate the hospital.

01:01:51 We've got to be out by tonight so we can destroy the base.

01:01:53 The demolition squad will be here in about eight hours,

01:01:56 so that's how much time we've got.

01:01:58 After the patients have been evacuated, you'd better get the surgery out.

01:02:00 I'll take care of that.

01:02:02 Deb, where were you?

01:02:06 They're not going out here. Come on. Look out.

01:02:08 Joan, they were out in the street.

01:02:15 Thanks, Debbie. Here, take her.

01:02:16 Listen, I'm going to beat your brains out if you don't stay around here.

01:02:19 I don't care what she has to do. You stay here. Now, mind.

01:02:22 What's the matter with you? Do you want to kill us all?

01:02:27 I've got some passengers for you.

01:02:29 But I'm in a hurry.

01:02:30 They're in a hurry, too. Get in there fast.

01:02:32 Here. Now, you take care of your sister.

01:02:35 Take her.

01:02:36 Hurry, Stevie.

01:02:37 Is this Superman?

01:02:38 He'd better be. Go on. On your way, toots.

01:02:40 On your way.

01:02:46 We've been ordered to evacuate. We've got to get the surgery to Little Baggio.

01:02:49 They can't leave yet. There are more cases. I know I can save.

01:02:52 But we've been ordered.

01:02:53 I know, but I must have a little more time.

01:02:55 Just a minute.

01:03:02 All right, we're ready.

01:03:07 Hey, kids. See you at the other side.

01:03:14 I think we'd better be getting along, Lieutenant.

01:03:16 I guess this is about it.

01:03:17 We've heard some rifle fire not so very far back.

01:03:19 The demolition squad isn't even here.

01:03:21 Sounds like a Jap patrol has infiltrated through.

01:03:24 Come on, girls. Get in. Hurry up.

01:03:25 I forgot something. I'll be right back.

01:03:26 No, Joan. Come back here. You haven't time.

01:03:28 Let's get started.

01:03:29 She'll be back in a minute.

01:03:31 Joan!

01:03:32 Joan!

01:03:37 Come on, Joan. Hurry up.

01:03:41 Come on, girls. Hurry up.

01:03:42 Get in the house. Come on.

01:03:49 Get in the house. Hurry up. Come on.

01:03:51 Let it in. Close the door and put the light out.

01:04:02 I'm sorry.

01:04:06 Never mind that. Now get down low all of you.

01:04:08 Never mind that. Now get down low all of you.

01:04:10 He's dead.

01:04:15 Do you think they'll miss us? Do you think they'll send someone for us?

01:04:20 Of course they will.

01:04:21 What are we going to do?

01:04:22 We'll get out of this somehow.

01:04:23 I know what I'm going to do.

01:04:24 If somebody doesn't come, we'd better all kill ourselves.

01:04:27 But why? Somebody's coming. Davy said somebody's coming.

01:04:30 I was in Nanking. I saw what happened to the woman there.

01:04:33 Keep quiet.

01:04:34 When the Red Cross protested, the Japanese called it the privilege of serving His Imperial Majesty's troops.

01:04:39 It's an honor. An honor you'd die for them.

01:04:41 Stop that nonsense, do you hear?

01:04:43 I've seen them fight over a woman like dogs.

01:04:45 Stop it.

01:04:46 Here's a grenade. Maybe we could get them if we...

01:04:55 Don't give me that.

01:04:56 If we threw a grenade and missed, it would mean sure death for all of us.

01:05:00 We might kill one...

01:05:01 Stop talking about killing.

01:05:02 Look, I want you all to stay here.

01:05:05 I'm going out to start that truck.

01:05:07 As soon as you hear the motor running, make a dash for it. It's our only chance.

01:05:10 Now don't be frightened.

01:05:15 I'm going to throw this grenade in the opposite direction.

01:05:17 Try to divert their attention.

01:05:18 Don't go, Davy. Don't go.

01:05:20 Go on.

01:05:21 Go on.

01:05:22 One, two, three, four...

01:05:34 Five, six, seven, eight...

01:06:13 Libby, come back here.

01:06:30 What are you doing?

01:06:31 Come here. Libby.

01:06:32 Libby.

01:06:34 Libby.

01:06:35 Olivia.

01:06:43 Goodbye, Davy.

01:06:48 Thanks for everything.

01:06:50 Get back in the surgery.

01:06:51 No. It's our only chance.

01:06:54 We can't get through. It's one of us or all of us.

01:06:57 Throw it away.

01:07:00 It's too late.

01:07:02 Goodbye, Davy.

01:07:03 Oh, no. Olivia.

01:07:09 Olivia.

01:07:12 Olivia.

01:07:13 Olivia.

01:07:14 (EXPLOSION)

01:07:34 Out, everybody, out! Hurry!

01:07:41 (EXPLOSION)

01:07:43 After a nerve-wracking trip through the jungle,

01:08:01 we arrived at our new base, the Jungle Hospital,

01:08:04 which was officially known as Hospital Kilometer 163.5.

01:08:09 But it was no hospital at all.

01:08:11 It was just jungle.

01:08:13 The beds were placed under canvases,

01:08:15 which kept the sun off the more serious cases.

01:08:17 But it was so overcrowded that many of the beds

01:08:19 were just placed out under the trees,

01:08:21 which at least kept them hidden from the jacked planes.

01:08:24 19 wards were set up in this way.

01:08:27 Each ward had a capacity of 200 or 300 patients,

01:08:31 and this was increased until we had between 5,000 and 8,000 of them.

01:08:35 Most of the patients began to be not wounded,

01:08:38 but men coming down with malaria and dysentery.

01:08:42 A little one-cylinder engine provided the electricity

01:08:44 for the main operating room, which was just a tent,

01:08:47 and we sterilized our instruments in three large garbage cans,

01:08:50 one with soapy water and two with boiling water.

01:08:53 We kept washing and re-washing the dressings

01:08:55 after they'd been used.

01:08:57 In our flight from Lamai,

01:08:59 Rosemary had received a nasty gash on the forehead,

01:09:02 but under the healing hands of Jose,

01:09:05 she escaped with only a slight scar.

01:09:08 And as the weeks went by, we were so busy,

01:09:11 we had no time to think about what happened to Olivia,

01:09:14 and even Joan seemed to be convinced eventually

01:09:16 that it wasn't her fault.

01:09:18 We were among the first to use powdered sulfanilamide

01:09:21 on open wounds.

01:09:22 It worked wonders.

01:09:24 We called ourselves the battling orphans of Bataan--

01:09:27 no father, no mother, no Uncle Sam--

01:09:29 as we wondered where the reinforcements were.

01:09:32 But even so, we continued to hope.

01:09:35 Some of us got malaria too--

01:09:37 fevers of 104 and 105.

01:09:39 But there was no time for coddling.

01:09:41 The soldiers were the patients.

01:09:43 How are you, Irma?

01:09:45 I'm all right.

01:09:47 Here, take your quinine.

01:09:48 There isn't time.

01:09:49 Take time.

01:09:51 Come on.

01:09:53 Here, take some water.

01:10:01 Guess I better take some too.

01:10:03 I don't know which is the worst.

01:10:06 Davy was in charge of the jungle hospital

01:10:12 if McGregor had her headquarters at Little Baggio,

01:10:15 which was another base about four kilometers away.

01:10:17 She had thrown herself into her work

01:10:19 with John constantly on her mind,

01:10:21 although one never would have known it.

01:10:23 The only contact between them was a little monkey

01:10:25 John had sent one day by a wounded soldier.

01:10:28 He quickly became the pet of the company.

01:10:31 We called him Tojo

01:10:39 because they looked so much alike.

01:10:41 Give me those.

01:10:43 Hey, did you hear the news?

01:10:54 Supplies and reinforcements.

01:10:55 There's a big convoy on the way.

01:10:58 I can't wait to see them.

01:11:00 Friends, I want you to meet my own private little army.

01:11:03 These guys' names are Joe.

01:11:05 Me, Joe, too.

01:11:06 Me, Joe, too.

01:11:08 Incidentally, these babies are the sweetest little fighters

01:11:10 you've ever seen in action.

01:11:12 Me, Joe, too.

01:11:13 Him, Joe, too.

01:11:14 Yeah, me, Joe, too.

01:11:16 You know, to support, I got some mail for all of you.

01:11:25 Hey, look what I got.

01:11:26 It's a Sears robot cap.

01:11:28 This big box is for you, Rosemary.

01:11:30 Oh, I bet it's the cake.

01:11:34 Remember the cake we had in the boat?

01:11:35 You're the only one that remembers it.

01:11:36 You're the only one that ate it.

01:11:38 Okay, Joe, see if you can find yourself some chow.

01:11:42 Rondo.

01:11:43 Hello.

01:11:46 Hi.

01:11:47 You big bum.

01:11:48 You always say what I expect.

01:11:50 Isn't that nice?

01:11:51 Yeah.

01:11:52 Say, what are you doing here, anyway?

01:11:53 Oh, I got some mail for you.

01:11:54 Oh, thanks, pal.

01:11:55 They're open.

01:11:59 I guess those censors must have run out of glue.

01:12:02 Hans, have you been reading my mail?

01:12:04 Well, I had to read myself to sleep, didn't I?

01:12:07 You don't want to deprive me of my sleep, do you?

01:12:09 Anyway, I didn't read all of them.

01:12:11 Very dull, most of them.

01:12:13 Very dull.

01:12:14 Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

01:12:16 Except this Dr. O'Leary.

01:12:19 He's rather a cute guy, ain't he?

01:12:21 He is.

01:12:22 He writes with that real literary style.

01:12:25 What's he to you?

01:12:28 Well, since you read them, dear, you ought to know.

01:12:30 Give me a patch of mine.

01:12:32 Look for mine.

01:12:35 If it's a cake, I hope it's chocolate.

01:12:37 Oh, a hat.

01:12:41 Who can eat a hat?

01:12:42 I don't care, it looks good on a tee.

01:12:44 Say, is there any mail for me?

01:12:46 Isn't it wonderful?

01:12:48 Well, it's pretty cute.

01:12:50 A little impractical.

01:12:51 No, I mean the news.

01:12:52 What news?

01:12:53 There's a convoy, Davy.

01:12:54 We'll be in London.

01:12:55 Oh, are you sure? Who told you?

01:12:57 Kansas just came back from Cebu with the news.

01:12:59 Yeah, and that hat.

01:13:01 We're going to celebrate.

01:13:02 Davy, can I speak to you for a minute?

01:13:03 Yeah.

01:13:04 I thought you'd like to know,

01:13:09 Marm McGregor's son's been wounded.

01:13:10 He's here.

01:13:11 Serious?

01:13:12 I haven't seen him.

01:13:13 I was just told he was here.

01:13:14 Thanks, Emma.

01:13:15 It's tough on the old battle-axe only boy, isn't he?

01:13:17 Yeah, I think I'd better phone him.

01:13:19 Davy.

01:13:20 Davy.

01:13:22 I told you I'd be back.

01:13:28 Well, for a minute I thought I was hearing voices.

01:13:30 How long are you going to be here?

01:13:34 Until morning.

01:13:35 How are you?

01:13:36 Fine.

01:13:37 I'll be back in a minute.

01:13:38 I'll be back in a minute.

01:13:39 I'll be back in a minute.

01:14:29 I'll be back in a minute.

01:14:30 I'll be back in a minute.

01:14:31 Hello, son.

01:14:32 Hello, mother.

01:14:33 How do you feel?

01:14:34 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:35 Fine thing to waste an $18,000 pilot getting wounded with the infantry.

01:14:36 A pain in my toes.

01:14:37 I got a terrible cramp, I guess.

01:14:38 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:39 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:40 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:41 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:42 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:43 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:44 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:45 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:46 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:47 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:48 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:49 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:50 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:51 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:52 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:53 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:54 I'm going to be all right.

01:14:55 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:03 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:04 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:05 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:09 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:10 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:11 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:12 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:13 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:14 I'm going to be all right.

01:15:16 Ma, my legs.

01:15:17 Where's my legs?

01:15:18 Ma, they promised me.

01:15:20 They've taken away my legs.

01:15:22 Oh, dear darling.

01:15:23 No, no, no.

01:15:24 You all right?

01:15:39 Yes.

01:15:40 For a minute I thought I was going to be sick.

01:15:44 I'm holding on it close.

01:15:46 I'm horrible, I know.

01:15:53 But all the time I just kept thinking of you.

01:15:56 Hey, take it easy.

01:15:57 Nothing's going to happen to me.

01:15:59 I'm going to be all right.

01:16:01 I'm going to be all right.

01:16:03 Nurse, Miss Davidson.

01:16:31 Yes.

01:16:32 Ma.

01:16:36 Oh, sovereign Lord, who desireth not the death of a sinner,

01:16:58 we beseech thee to loose the spirit of this thy servant

01:17:03 and set him free from all evil,

01:17:07 that he may rest with all thy saints in eternal habitation.

01:17:15 Do you want a drink of water?

01:17:17 No, thank you, baby.

01:17:19 I'll lie down for a moment.

01:17:21 No, it's all over.

01:17:23 He never saw his father.

01:17:27 And his son will never see him.

01:17:30 He has a child?

01:17:32 Three months old.

01:17:34 It's a pattern that will go on, I suppose,

01:17:38 till we do make the world a decent place to live in.

01:17:42 Well, I guess we can go now.

01:17:51 Thank you, baby.

01:17:53 Thank you, baby.

01:17:55 I'm glad you called me so I could be here.

01:17:58 I can't say anything, Ma.

01:18:00 But can you say, what can I say?

01:18:03 I bore a son and he's dead.

01:18:07 I bore a son, a healthy, muscular child, who was a good son.

01:18:12 He used to break my heart just to look at him.

01:18:14 He was so beautiful, the handsomest son in the world.

01:18:18 And now I have no heart to break.

01:18:23 Like his father, he died for what he knew was right.

01:18:27 He was right.

01:18:29 My son and his father.

01:18:31 And this time, if we don't make it right,

01:18:34 my son and his father and all are dead

01:18:37 will rise up and destroy us.

01:18:40 [♪♪♪]

01:18:43 I'm sending McGregor to Corregidor.

01:18:59 So I want you and your staff to report to little Baggio in the morning.

01:19:03 Take over in her place.

01:19:05 Yes, sir.

01:19:06 Do you know if there are any nurses coming on the convoy?

01:19:09 What convoy? The one we've been celebrating all day.

01:19:13 There isn't any convoy.

01:19:15 It's been sunk.

01:19:17 There have been desperate measures taken to get others through to us.

01:19:21 But only a few small vessels have succeeded.

01:19:24 Not enough to mean much.

01:19:26 Is it as bad as all that?

01:19:30 MacArthur left tonight.

01:19:34 Left Bataan?

01:19:38 He was ordered off. He's gone to Australia.

01:19:41 But why?

01:19:43 Because he's needed more there than he is here, I guess.

01:19:46 He didn't want to go.

01:19:48 Maybe I'd better tell the others.

01:19:52 No. Don't do anything about it.

01:19:55 A good evening of relaxation might help.

01:19:59 What they don't know won't hurt them.

01:20:02 No, I suppose not.

01:20:05 Especially when what they do know does.

01:20:08 Good night, Janet.

01:20:11 Good night, sir.

01:20:13 Little Baggio, which was another hospital base,

01:20:27 was high up in the Maravellous Mountains.

01:20:29 It had been bombed some days before we arrived.

01:20:32 The Emperor himself apologized for the bombing.

01:20:35 So sorry.

01:20:37 When we got there, Davy made us make a huge cross with tarpaulins in front of the wards.

01:20:42 She gave them the benefit of the doubt, though even she didn't doubt.

01:20:46 Do you think this will do any good, Davy?

01:20:48 I don't know. Perhaps we're only providing them with an easier target.

01:20:52 I don't know whether that's an air raid warning or a mess.

01:20:56 Either way, it's a warning.

01:20:58 Come on, kids. Let's go eat our swaps.

01:21:01 What's the matter? What's the matter, Ethel?

01:21:03 Oh, I'm all right.

01:21:05 Too much rich food, I guess.

01:21:07 But who's in the children's ward?

01:21:09 Joan. She said she didn't mind doing my shit.

01:21:11 Oh, come on. You need some rest.

01:21:13 I'll take care of her.

01:21:14 Thanks, Patty.

01:21:15 I don't know how she does it.

01:21:20 Who?

01:21:21 Joan. She doesn't ever seem to get any sleep.

01:21:24 I've never seen her sleep.

01:21:26 I don't know how she does it.

01:21:28 Who?

01:21:30 Who?

01:21:31 Joan. She doesn't ever seem to get any sleep.

01:21:33 I've never seen anybody do so much.

01:21:35 I'm worried about her. Something seems to be driving her on.

01:21:39 Go over and give her a hand, will you, Sadie? I'll relieve you later.

01:21:42 That's really hitting below the belt.

01:21:57 Come on.

01:21:58 - She made it. - Oh, I warned her.

01:22:10 Joan. Joan.

01:22:12 No, no, no, no. You stay down there now.

01:22:17 Sadie will take over.

01:22:19 Nobody's going to take over from me. I feel fine now.

01:22:21 Oh, Joan, don't.

01:22:23 What you need is some sleep. That's what's wrong with you.

01:22:25 I can't sleep.

01:22:26 Well, maybe you can try.

01:22:28 I can't. I don't want to sleep.

01:22:30 All I do is dream about living.

01:22:32 Now, Joan, you must forget that. That wasn't your fault.

01:22:36 I know it was nobody's fault, but that's not it.

01:22:38 Don't you understand? I've got to do what she'd have done, too.

01:22:41 But that's not the point.

01:22:43 I know what the point is.

01:22:45 When we joined the army, I don't know about the rest of you,

01:22:47 but I had a feeling that we might be in a war,

01:22:49 and I don't want to feel when this is over that maybe I could have done more.

01:22:52 You're just trying to do too much.

01:22:54 I swear to you when we join the Red Cross, remember?

01:22:56 I solemnly pledge myself before God that I'll devote myself

01:22:59 to the welfare of those committed to my care.

01:23:02 And I didn't say how many or how much.

01:23:04 Joan, that's the way we all feel.

01:23:07 Maybe we do a lot of grousing sometimes,

01:23:09 but that's one of the privileges we're fighting for.

01:23:12 Now, all I ask you to do is lie down for an hour or so,

01:23:16 and then you can do whatever you want.

01:23:18 Thanks. That's all I want in my own way.

01:23:21 Yeah, come on.

01:23:24 Come on now. You lie down here for a little while.

01:23:26 Oh, thanks, Davy. I feel better.

01:23:28 You know, that's the first time in my life I've ever fainted.

01:23:35 Before the war, many's the time I could have used a good faint,

01:23:38 but the guys I know would have thought it was a phony I wasn't taking any chances.

01:23:42 Uh-oh, there's my dream hero. Davy, don't say anything.

01:23:45 No, I won't.

01:23:47 Now, what are you doing down here again?

01:23:49 Kansas, what's wrong?

01:23:52 We're getting the Panspeed office.

01:23:55 You're not quitting Kansas.

01:23:57 No, we're just making what's known as a strategic withdrawal.

01:24:01 Well, Kansas, how bad is it?

01:24:03 The whole front line's collapsed.

01:24:07 Oh.

01:24:09 That bandage is filthy. Come on in, Kansas. I'll change it for you.

01:24:15 Look, uh, I know how short you must be,

01:24:19 but have you got anything to eat?

01:24:21 Yes, I've got some nice southern fried monkey for you.

01:24:25 With ketchup?

01:24:27 No, with chili sauce.

01:24:29 I'm sorry to interrupt, Colonel.

01:24:36 What is it, Janet?

01:24:38 I just heard that the front line's collapsed.

01:24:40 Well, you know there are lots of rumors. Thousands of them going around.

01:24:43 I don't think this is a rumor.

01:24:48 Well, what do you want?

01:24:50 You've got to get those girls out.

01:24:52 There's to be no evacuation in Bataan.

01:24:54 But you've got to. They're sick, every one of them.

01:24:57 They're only going through the motions.

01:24:59 Give them a rest so they can work.

01:25:02 You're doing more for morale than anything else in this sector.

01:25:04 Just seeing you girls around is almost enough.

01:25:06 If I were to evacuate you now, can't you understand the panic that would develop?

01:25:09 I know, Colonel.

01:25:10 The very thing the Japs would want.

01:25:12 If you leave, the civilians would leave.

01:25:14 Women and children would clog the roads.

01:25:16 And there's a desperate battle going on.

01:25:18 I'm sorry. Of course you're right.

01:25:21 Don't worry, Janet.

01:25:23 When the time comes, I'll get you out.

01:25:25 Otherwise, I'd never be able to look my wife or any other woman in the face again.

01:25:29 I don't envy you, Colonel.

01:25:34 (Siren)

01:25:36 Oh, God, no!

01:25:48 (Explosion)

01:25:51 (Explosion)

01:25:59 (Shouting)

01:26:01 Put them down! Get them under the bed!

01:26:06 Never mind those A's. Help me with the children, Kansas.

01:26:18 Sponge.

01:26:20 Rosemary, take cover. I can do this all right.

01:26:27 I'm not frightened any longer, Jose.

01:26:29 (Explosion)

01:26:56 (Shouting)

01:26:58 Come on. Come over here.

01:27:11 (Shouting)

01:27:13 (Shouting)

01:27:34 (Shouting)

01:27:39 (Explosion)

01:27:41 What is it?

01:27:58 It's a leg wound. Lieutenant Summers.

01:28:00 I'll tell Davy.

01:28:05 Lieutenant Summers has been wounded.

01:28:07 What is it?

01:28:08 A leg wound.

01:28:09 Thank you, Chief.

01:28:11 The machine gunner, they're strafing.

01:28:19 Beast of slimy beasts.

01:28:33 Captain.

01:28:35 Ah, they've finished the operation for me.

01:28:42 Rosemary.

01:28:48 Rosemary.

01:28:50 It's the surgery.

01:29:01 Rosemary, here, take this.

01:29:03 Teddy, come back.

01:29:06 Rosemary.

01:29:08 Rosemary.

01:29:26 Don't go in there.

01:29:27 Let it burn.

01:29:30 Let it burn.

01:29:31 Oh, your hand, Teddy.

01:29:37 Your hand.

01:29:39 How is he, Chief?

01:29:48 His temperature is rising and the wound looks bad.

01:29:50 The fragment should be removed immediately.

01:29:52 There isn't time. We've been ordered off.

01:29:55 Ordered off?

01:29:56 To Corregidor.

01:29:58 Gee, get him into a truck.

01:29:59 I have to report to the Colonel, but I'll be right back.

01:30:01 Yes, dear.

01:30:02 Little.

01:30:04 I got everyone, sir. We're ready to leave.

01:30:15 Good.

01:30:16 Goodbye, Janet.

01:30:18 Aren't you coming?

01:30:19 No, I'm not.

01:30:20 But your orders.

01:30:21 New orders have just come through.

01:30:23 Have we surrendered?

01:30:26 We'll surrender at nine in the morning.

01:30:28 They haven't got us off yet.

01:30:31 I think it's the demolition squad blowing up our dumps.

01:30:33 Come on, you'd better go.

01:30:34 Joan, have you seen Chief?

01:30:40 No, I haven't. I don't think he's left yet.

01:30:42 You're having time, Janet.

01:30:43 Janet, do one thing for me.

01:30:45 See that those girls get through to the rock.

01:30:47 Yes, sir. We'll get through.

01:30:48 So long.

01:30:50 Good luck.

01:30:52 [music]

01:30:54 But before we reached the main road, everybody heard the news.

01:31:01 Panic developed and the roads were jammed.

01:31:04 Normally, it took two hours to get to Maravelis.

01:31:07 That day, it took eight.

01:31:08 And the Jap reconnaissance saw what was happening,

01:31:11 so by the time we got there, it was being bombed and shelled without mercy.

01:31:15 [explosion]

01:31:18 [explosion]

01:31:20 Hurry up. Get into the tunnel.

01:31:30 Davey.

01:31:32 Oh, thank God you got through.

01:31:33 Did you pass T on the road?

01:31:35 No.

01:31:36 Where are the children?

01:31:37 Kansas found a shelter for them.

01:31:38 You've done it!

01:31:39 [explosion]

01:31:47 Come on!

01:31:48 Listen, we still have a few minutes.

01:32:01 Keep under cover.

01:32:03 If I'm not back, get down to the wharf as soon as you hear the boat whistle.

01:32:07 [explosion]

01:32:10 Lin Chi!

01:32:13 Lin Chi!

01:32:16 Lin Chi!

01:32:17 Lin Chi!

01:32:21 Oh, I've got to get some sleep. I'm so bomb happy. Nothing else matters.

01:32:31 Stay here.

01:32:35 But I thought you said I could have one shot.

01:32:36 Later on. You've been detailed to watch over your little sister.

01:32:45 Hello.

01:32:46 Hi, kids.

01:32:47 I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.

01:32:49 What?

01:32:51 The Marines. They've landed.

01:32:52 They've been ordered off.

01:32:54 Oh, but it's not permanent. It's not the end of the fight.

01:32:57 Yeah, but imagine it happening to us. Americans!

01:32:59 All right. All out, everybody.

01:33:01 Oh, we've been out on our feet before.

01:33:03 Remember Valley Forge? That was no strawberry festival. Come on, kids. Let's go.

01:33:07 [explosion]

01:33:14 What do you mean, so long?

01:33:15 I've got to get the other kids.

01:33:16 Well, I'll have two then.

01:33:17 How soon are you pulling out?

01:33:30 Now.

01:33:31 Well, I'll get the next boat.

01:33:32 There isn't going to be any next boat.

01:33:33 Well, go ahead then.

01:33:34 Come on!

01:33:35 [explosion]

01:33:37 Do you have John?

01:33:55 Yes, in the tunnel. I have a doctor.

01:33:56 [explosion]

01:33:58 John.

01:34:04 Where are the others? You better go.

01:34:05 There's plenty of time.

01:34:07 All right. I'm ready.

01:34:09 [explosion]

01:34:11 We'll have to go in for that bomb fragment. It may become infected.

01:34:27 That's not likely. It's probably a piece of good American steel.

01:34:32 All right, nurse.

01:34:33 Oh. Will you help?

01:34:36 If I can.

01:34:37 Sorry we have no anesthetic here, eh?

01:34:41 Is it out of order if we hold hands?

01:34:43 No. Go ahead.

01:34:45 It's all right, darling. It's all right.

01:34:57 I think I've located it.

01:35:00 We'll have another try. Now, this may hurt.

01:35:03 Sounds just like a dentist.

01:35:05 Tell him no matter what happens, promise me you won't let the--

01:35:08 No, no. I know I won't. Dear.

01:35:10 Just hold on, Lieutenant. Try to think of something else.

01:35:15 I am.

01:35:16 Ham and eggs.

01:35:18 Hotcakes.

01:35:20 White bread.

01:35:22 Coffee.

01:35:24 Here it comes now. Hold on.

01:35:26 [explosion]

01:35:28 It's all right, Doctor. Go right ahead.

01:35:34 He's fainted.

01:35:35 [explosion]

01:35:40 Get in. Go ahead. He's up front. Go ahead. Hurry up.

01:35:44 They can't understand a word you're saying.

01:35:46 I know, but they know what I'm feeling.

01:35:48 Well, so long.

01:35:50 What do you mean, so long? Aren't you coming?

01:35:52 No.

01:35:53 Oh, you're gonna be a hero.

01:35:54 Yeah.

01:35:55 Okay, you win. Shut your eyes.

01:35:57 What for?

01:35:58 Because I'm gonna kiss you goodbye.

01:36:00 Oh.

01:36:01 [explosion]

01:36:12 [tires screeching]

01:36:22 [explosion]

01:36:24 I have a boat hidden right here.

01:36:34 [explosion]

01:36:36 [explosion]

01:36:38 Jacob!

01:36:55 Yes, hurry up. Get in.

01:36:57 Hey, any room?

01:37:01 Sorry, soldier, but one more would swamp us.

01:37:03 Can you swim?

01:37:04 A bit.

01:37:05 Come on and kick.

01:37:06 Thanks, ladies.

01:37:07 Are you holding on, soldier?

01:37:23 Still twitching.

01:37:26 [explosion]

01:37:28 Here's old Corregidor, answering the men.

01:37:39 You're still with us, soldier?

01:37:42 [explosion]

01:37:52 Why don't we take one minute's rest? My hands.

01:37:55 No, I can use it too.

01:37:57 Look at those lights.

01:38:05 It's so regular, it seems like a message.

01:38:08 It is a message.

01:38:13 Three dots, three dashes, three dots.

01:38:16 S-O-S.

01:38:19 S-O-S.

01:38:22 [explosion]

01:38:24 And then Corregidor.

01:38:34 It spells safety for us because everyone called it the Gibraltar of the Pacific.

01:38:38 Especially so since the Army engineers had dug a series of tunnels down under 400 feet of solid rock.

01:38:44 The main tunnel was called Malinta.

01:38:47 This was about 1,000 feet long and in peacetime trolleys ran through it.

01:38:52 There were about 40 laterals off the main tunnel.

01:38:55 The one in which we would spend most of our time was called the hospital lateral.

01:38:59 Here, the wounded were piled up in double and triple-decker beds.

01:39:04 Another was our quarters.

01:39:06 There were about 25 nurses there when we arrived.

01:39:09 With us, the total came to 88 Americans plus many more Filipino nurses.

01:39:13 Here, for the first time in months, we had a chance to wash the geps out of our hair.

01:39:18 For a few days, we were even able to get outside the hospital tunnel for a little fresh air.

01:39:23 And then they started.

01:39:29 They plastered us, but good, constantly.

01:39:33 As they stepped up their tempo, things got tougher and tougher.

01:39:37 The thunder of the dive bombers was incessant.

01:39:40 The noise almost split our eardrums.

01:39:43 The old story.

01:39:45 Too little food, dwindling ammunition, too many people and too many wounded.

01:39:50 Gradually, Corregidor felt like and became a prison.

01:39:54 And though everything else was giving out,

01:39:57 we thanked God for the blood plasma the Red Cross had supplied us with.

01:40:01 Occasionally, between bombings, we went outside and took our chances on a shell rather than suffocation.

01:40:08 We listened, hopefully, for news of home.

01:40:11 But the geps jammed everything except the commercials advertising food.

01:40:15 Delicious salad with whatever you have at hand.

01:40:17 Pineapples, strawberries or any of the plentiful fruits about us.

01:40:21 Cooled deliciously in your icebox, it will bring sunny California to your home.

01:40:26 Shut that thing off.

01:40:28 What, no dive bombers?

01:40:32 Oh, it's not time. They're still out to lunch.

01:40:37 There's no quinine left.

01:40:39 Well, what are we going to do?

01:40:42 Nurse, what do you think we're going to do?

01:40:44 They can take us off. Why are we here anyway?

01:40:47 Why? Why isn't there any quinine? Why isn't there any food? Why aren't there any supplies?

01:40:52 Why are we waiting here like rats in a cage, waiting for the man to come and pour scalding water over us?

01:40:58 Why was nothing done? Why?

01:41:01 Take it easy, Dee. I'll tell you why. It's our own fault.

01:41:05 What did we do?

01:41:06 Because we believed we were the world.

01:41:08 That the United States of America was the whole world.

01:41:11 Those outlandish places. Bataan, Corregidor, Mindanao.

01:41:16 Those aren't American names.

01:41:18 No, they're just American graveyards.

01:41:22 Well, why don't they get us off?

01:41:24 They can't get us off.

01:41:26 We've become what they call a delaying action.

01:41:29 That's what those 50,000 men over there were. They were merely saving time.

01:41:34 I hope to God the people back home aren't losing it for us.

01:41:37 Do you remember what the chaplain once told us?

01:41:40 It's our present. We're giving them time.

01:41:43 Well, they're always on time anyway.

01:41:47 Everybody in the house!

01:41:52 (thunder)

01:41:54 I can't stand it anymore! I can't! I want to get out of here!

01:42:07 (screaming)

01:42:20 Feeling better, Tony?

01:42:21 Much thanks. I'm sorry I blew up yesterday.

01:42:23 Guess I had a case of the heebie-jeebies.

01:42:25 Don't worry about it.

01:42:26 Those little outbursts are about the only cold showers we get around here.

01:42:29 Maybe you could use one.

01:42:31 What do you think I was doing yesterday when I shot my mouth off?

01:42:34 I feel better too.

01:42:36 Hello, Mom.

01:42:39 What you got there?

01:42:41 My grandson.

01:42:42 Oh, he's cute.

01:42:44 He looks just like...

01:42:47 Yes, he does. Particularly at that age.

01:42:50 That's what I have to live for.

01:42:54 Oh, Janet, can I speak to you a minute?

01:42:57 What are you doing down here? We discharged you a week ago.

01:43:00 I thought you knew I was your permanent patient.

01:43:02 What is it, darling?

01:43:04 I just wanted to say goodbye for a few days.

01:43:06 What are you talking about?

01:43:08 Well, we sort of made up a little party,

01:43:10 and we're going down around Mindanao to see if we can find some quinine.

01:43:13 You can't go.

01:43:15 Why not?

01:43:17 Your leg, you're still too weak.

01:43:19 I'm no weaker than the rest.

01:43:21 John, you're not well yet.

01:43:22 It'll all be a lot worse if we don't get some supplies.

01:43:25 When do you have to go?

01:43:30 We leave at five in the morning.

01:43:32 That's nine long hours from now.

01:43:40 Ma, I want you to know I'm going to break a regulation.

01:43:44 Is that something new with you?

01:43:46 But I'm really going to smash one this time.

01:43:51 I'm going to get married.

01:43:54 To him?

01:43:58 I'll get Chaplain Frank. Can we get married here, Ma?

01:44:04 No, I don't know about this officially.

01:44:06 Better not in the tunnels.

01:44:08 I know the bakery.

01:44:10 You're still standing, and they've a light there.

01:44:12 In the meantime, I'll get dressed.

01:44:14 Dressed into what?

01:44:16 Maybe we can fix up one of your skirts,

01:44:18 just so the whole thing isn't too confusing.

01:44:21 Dear God,

01:44:28 we have none of the things which are usually used

01:44:30 to solemnize marriage in this one,

01:44:33 except the thing that you prize most,

01:44:36 sincerity of heart,

01:44:39 amid all the boiling hatred,

01:44:42 both righteous and unrighteous.

01:44:45 Two of your servants, Lord, have found love

01:44:50 and desire to be wed in thine eyes.

01:44:53 Help me, O Lord,

01:44:55 to consecrate this marriage.

01:44:58 And now,

01:45:05 John,

01:45:07 wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife

01:45:10 to have and to hold?

01:45:12 Wilt thou love her, honor her,

01:45:14 comfort her in sickness and in health,

01:45:17 and, forsaking all others,

01:45:20 keep her till death do you part?

01:45:24 I will.

01:45:26 Janet,

01:45:30 wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband

01:45:35 to have and to hold?

01:45:39 I will.

01:45:45 I then pronounce you man and wife.

01:45:50 God bless you both.

01:45:53 That's... that's where you kiss, kid.

01:45:58 Okay, break it up.

01:46:04 Here's your wedding present.

01:46:06 It's the best I could do.

01:46:08 A bottle of wine.

01:46:10 Where did you get that?

01:46:11 The general. I told him I needed to get drunk,

01:46:13 and he was so surprised he gave it to me.

01:46:15 Some peanut butter and bread.

01:46:17 What a wonderful present.

01:46:20 This bit of jade.

01:46:23 It's some 2,000 years old.

01:46:25 Keep it,

01:46:27 for there are three wishes that go with it.

01:46:30 Good luck, long life,

01:46:33 and an abundance of children.

01:46:36 Thank you, Chief. Thanks for everything.

01:46:38 I have nothing to offer except a bit of gum.

01:46:41 We'll take it.

01:46:43 Now go ahead and have your honeymoon.

01:46:46 Thank you. Thank you, gentlemen.

01:46:48 God bless you both.

01:46:50 Good night.

01:46:52 Peanut butter. I wonder if...

01:46:54 No, leave them alone.

01:46:56 Come with me, and I'll see if I can dig some up for you.

01:46:58 Good.

01:47:00 I'm not going to eat anymore. I'm going to save some.

01:47:07 Not me. This isn't the kind of wedding cake

01:47:09 you put under your pillow and sleep on.

01:47:12 The stars look like streetlights.

01:47:16 They are.

01:47:18 Haven't you ever been to the Rainbow Room before?

01:47:20 That's the street below us.

01:47:22 Oh. Oh.

01:47:25 I guess marrying you has changed my perspective completely.

01:47:28 It's probably the wine.

01:47:30 I thought you were going to take me to a dingy little French restaurant.

01:47:34 This is pretty classy.

01:47:36 Holy cats, you remember everything I say.

01:47:39 I take you very seriously.

01:47:43 What is it, darling?

01:47:48 Did I ever tell you about my place in the country?

01:47:53 No.

01:47:55 No, I don't know anything about you, really.

01:47:59 I don't even know if you have a middle name.

01:48:02 I have.

01:48:04 It's Mantethius.

01:48:06 Oh, why?

01:48:08 An uncle. He left me this little farm I was telling you about.

01:48:10 It's quite worth it.

01:48:12 Is it? Yes, and you'll love it.

01:48:14 The time will come when you and I will go out on a summer evening

01:48:19 when the grass is fresh, the clouds white as if they'd just been washed,

01:48:24 the earth's warm and still,

01:48:27 time passes quietly.

01:48:30 Everything's simple.

01:48:32 Just you and me and the kids.

01:48:34 Sons?

01:48:38 Daughters. They're more decorative.

01:48:40 Let's get out of here and go home.

01:48:42 Home.

01:48:47 I remember a poet somewhere.

01:48:50 He said, "Home is the place where,

01:48:53 "when you have to go there, they have to take you in."

01:48:56 You want to know something? What?

01:49:01 I'm not afraid any longer.

01:49:03 I'm not afraid any longer.

01:49:05 Darling. Darling.

01:49:24 It's time to get up.

01:49:26 It's time to get up and go to work.

01:49:30 You've only got five minutes.

01:49:33 Fine time to go to sleep on our honeymoon.

01:49:41 It was a wonderful honeymoon.

01:49:43 Here, finish that up.

01:49:46 No, you. Go ahead.

01:49:48 As my grandmother used to say, it'll warm your stomach up.

01:49:51 You, honey.

01:49:53 Come on.

01:49:55 To us.

01:50:05 Here's your breakfast.

01:50:18 Thank you.

01:50:21 Lieutenant Summers.

01:50:23 Yes, sir?

01:50:25 I just want to wish you good luck.

01:50:27 Thank you, sir.

01:50:29 So long, Lieutenant.

01:50:34 So long, Lieutenant.

01:50:36 So long, Davy.

01:50:39 Good luck, Chee.

01:50:41 We'll take care of you.

01:50:43 Don't worry. I will.

01:50:45 Wait for me here. I'll be back.

01:50:49 I'll be right here.

01:50:51 I'll be right here.

01:50:53 [music]

01:50:55 [music]

01:50:57 [music]

01:51:00 [music]

01:51:03 [music]

01:51:19 [music]

01:51:22 [music]

01:51:25 [music]

01:51:40 What you doing?

01:51:42 This radio's on the blink again.

01:51:44 What would you like better than anything else in the world?

01:51:49 A tomato. I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:52 A tomato and some flying fortresses.

01:51:54 Wouldn't that make a lovely salad?

01:51:56 Yeah.

01:51:58 Why'd you ask me, Kansas?

01:52:00 Well, I got something for you.

01:52:02 Chocolate.

01:52:04 Oh, gee, Kansas. That's swell of you.

01:52:08 Where'd you get it?

01:52:10 Well, a raiding pie of Japs tried to land last night, and I got me a couple of 'em.

01:52:14 And on one of 'em was...

01:52:16 Kansas, how could you do a thing like that to me?

01:52:19 I can't figure you deems out.

01:52:23 Chocolate is chocolate.

01:52:25 You're positively disgusting.

01:52:28 And don't fiddle with that. You'll get a shock.

01:52:30 Who, me? I never get shocked.

01:52:35 Look, don't you ever say "don't" to me again.

01:52:38 There. See?

01:52:42 Attention, you fools on Krakador.

01:52:44 This is the sun of heaven's birthday, our emperor Hirohito.

01:52:48 We wish you to help us celebrate.

01:52:50 You will not object, I am sure, for you are the objector of bonsai.

01:52:54 [Hirohito] Harry! Harry!

01:53:01 [Hirohito] Never a dull moment.

01:53:03 This is like living on a bullseye.

01:53:06 That was the worst pasting we ever got.

01:53:09 I think they must have hit every inch of the island that day.

01:53:12 Then suddenly, like magic, late in the afternoon it stopped...

01:53:16 when they all went off to get drunk...

01:53:18 to celebrate their god, Hirohito.

01:53:21 This quiet.

01:53:23 It's like the tropics you read about in romance magazines.

01:53:26 They'll celebrate all night long.

01:53:28 I hope they have the biggest hangover the world has ever known.

01:53:31 [man] $4,100, $400,000.

01:53:34 I guess this is what they call hard money.

01:53:37 $4,020, $80,000.

01:53:40 Say, what goes on here? They're destroying money.

01:53:44 Destroying money? That's the silliest thing I ever heard.

01:53:47 We ought to notify the authorities or something.

01:53:49 They are the authorities. They're from the finance department.

01:53:52 First time I ever even saw enough money to burn.

01:53:55 All the nurses are wanted in the mess hall.

01:53:57 - Not for food? Don't tell me. - No, right away.

01:54:00 $4,020, $80,000.

01:54:03 Attention, everybody, please.

01:54:17 Colonel Clark has something to tell you.

01:54:19 Thank you, Captain. At ease.

01:54:22 This is a very serious occasion.

01:54:28 It's not known how much longer Corregidor can hold out.

01:54:32 I have here orders from headquarters.

01:54:37 You nurses are to be evacuated tonight to Australia.

01:54:40 You'll meet in front of the main hospital tunnel at 9 o'clock tonight.

01:54:45 These orders are secret.

01:54:48 I want you to know that in the name of General Wainwright and myself...

01:54:53 there are no words high enough to praise you all.

01:54:58 Good luck.

01:55:01 Captain.

01:55:09 Look, Ma, couldn't another one of the girls go in my place?

01:55:13 - I haven't any family in it. - Ma, I just assumed...

01:55:15 These are official orders.

01:55:18 I know what you're all thinking.

01:55:21 But the entire nurse corps has been ordered off.

01:55:24 You girls just happen to be the first.

01:55:27 You can pack one handbag or your moussette. That's all.

01:55:30 There's just one other thing. These orders must be kept secret.

01:55:34 You're to tell no one. I'll see you later.

01:55:37 - What are you doing? - Oh, nothing. Just cleaning house.

01:55:48 Oh.

01:55:52 [Sighs]

01:55:55 - Irma. - Yeah?

01:56:05 Do you know anybody that could take a letter out to the States?

01:56:08 It was to my mother.

01:56:11 Yes, I think I know someone. I'll give it to him.

01:56:15 Thanks, pal.

01:56:19 [Sniffles]

01:56:22 - Clive. - I've got to get some fresh air.

01:56:46 - I'll get the kids a rum. - [Chuckles]

01:56:49 Here, George. I found another fountain pen so you can have this one.

01:57:03 Thanks, Joanie.

01:57:06 Here, Joe. You've had your eye on this for some time.

01:57:13 - Okay, Joe. - Okay, Joe.

01:57:16 I know we're short of things to read here, and I found some old love letters of mine.

01:57:23 I'll just put them here so you have a kind of circulating library.

01:57:28 They're pretty funny. Maybe they'll give you some laughs.

01:57:32 - Who's that? - It's me, Kansas.

01:57:42 Hiya, kid.

01:57:45 - Can I talk to you for a minute? - Sure.

01:57:49 - Keep your mind on the gun, Chuck. - Okay.

01:57:53 - We've been ordered off, Kansas. - I know. It's all over the rock already.

01:58:09 Well, I came to say goodbye.

01:58:12 Well, I'm glad you did. Goodbye.

01:58:16 - If you don't wait for me, I'll break your neck. - I'll be sure you don't break yours.

01:58:22 Give me a loan of your handkerchief, will you?

01:58:27 - And stop your sniffling. - Why don't you?

01:58:30 - You know I can't help it. It's a habit we make. - Well, I can't either.

01:58:36 When you get back, you should get some real ones.

01:58:39 I used to get mine, five and dimes. Big red ones, remember?

01:58:44 Bandanas. Cheapest where the place says five and dimes are. Everything in 'em.

01:58:49 Yeah.

01:58:51 You might send me a dozen of 'em when you get back.

01:58:54 - Fair, Kansas. - Yeah? What do you think?

01:58:57 I'll be here till Tokyo freezes over.

01:59:01 I suppose if we were to surrender, that you'd be dumb enough not to.

01:59:06 Yeah, I'd be dumb that way.

01:59:09 Oh, Kansas.

01:59:12 We should have been doing more of this in the campaign.

01:59:19 - You and your wanting to be pals. - I thought you were just another guy on the make.

01:59:24 I was.

01:59:30 Jim blade I met up with in Kansas.

01:59:33 The blade has been all mine.

01:59:36 You big limp.

01:59:41 Well, so long, kid. I'll be seeing you.

01:59:47 Goodbye, and be careful. Don't get killed.

01:59:50 Who, me? I never get killed.

01:59:54 I'm not a killer.

01:59:57 I'm a murderer.

02:00:01 Oh, there you are, Odoo.

02:00:04 Well, I guess that's everybody.

02:00:09 Good luck to you children, all of you.

02:00:13 - Goodbye, David. - I'm not going.

02:00:17 - You're not what? - I'm not going. I never intended to go.

02:00:21 - You're not going? - I'm not going.

02:00:24 - You're not going? - I'm not going.

02:00:27 - You're not what? - I'm not going. I never intended to.

02:00:30 You heard the orders. Now, I don't want any funny business. Get in that boat.

02:00:33 No. Do you realize every moment of stalling here means that those planes in the harbor are in danger?

02:00:38 - That's not our artillery. - I can't go. I promised I'd be here when he got back.

02:00:42 - He asked me to. Please, Mom. - I order you to go.

02:00:45 I won't take orders. I'm not in the army anymore.

02:00:48 When I married, I broke regulations. It meant I was out.

02:00:51 - You can't make me go. - Stop talking like a hysterical schoolgirl.

02:00:55 I'm going to be right here when he gets back.

02:00:58 He won't be back.

02:01:00 - How do you know? Tell me, how do you know? - There's been no word at all.

02:01:04 They considered them officially lost for a week.

02:01:07 - You're lying. You know you're lying. You're just saying that. - Would I lie about that, David? Would I?

02:01:11 No, you wouldn't. I know he's still alive. He's out there somewhere. I can't go. I can't.

02:01:17 - Janet, if he's alive, he'll find you. - Let me go. I'm not going. No.

02:01:21 I'm not going down with you.

02:01:24 - David, was she hit? - No, she's just stunned. Get her in the boat.

02:01:47 She wasn't like the rest of us. She never gave way. But now everything snapped at once.

02:01:52 When we got her on board the plane, she never spoke again.

02:01:56 Maybe we should have left her on Correia de Dur.

02:02:00 What's happened would have happened some way or another. Thank you.

02:02:04 Thank you all very much.

02:02:07 Now I think maybe I can try to make her speak. To hear at least.

02:02:14 Miss Davidson, we're almost home.

02:02:17 You hear me? We're almost home.

02:02:20 Chair nurse.

02:02:27 I have a letter for you.

02:02:31 "My darling, I'm writing this from Mindanao.

02:02:34 "We leave in the morning for an unknown destination.

02:02:37 "I write with no so-called premonitions.

02:02:40 "As a matter of fact, I'm writing this in a pleasant little bar on the outskirts.

02:02:44 "I'm writing this to tell you that I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning.

02:02:48 "I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning.

02:02:51 "I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning.

02:02:54 "I'm going to be leaving tomorrow morning.

02:02:57 "I'm writing this in a pleasant little bar on the outskirts.

02:03:00 "I've ordered two daiquiris.

02:03:03 "One for you and one for me.

02:03:06 "I miss you. I miss you all the time.

02:03:11 "It was such a short time, wasn't it?

02:03:14 "And yet I remember every second of it.

02:03:17 "From the moment you washed my back, and I could use a good bath right now...

02:03:21 "till your face faded from view in the darkness when I left.

02:03:26 "I think about you all the time and wish things were different.

02:03:30 "Things will be different.

02:03:33 "I know that now because there is good in this war, much as I hate it.

02:03:37 "This is not just a war of soldiers.

02:03:40 "You weren't soldiers in the strict sense.

02:03:43 "You were just kids from all walks of life, all kinds of people.

02:03:47 "There's something new in this war.

02:03:50 "There's something new in this war.

02:03:53 "There's something new in this war, something good.

02:03:56 "You could see it, this new thing,

02:03:59 "even in their tired, hungry faces as they took courage one from another.

02:04:03 "This is not a people's war because civilians also get killed.

02:04:07 "It's the people's war because they have taken it over now...

02:04:10 "and are going to win it and end it with a purpose--

02:04:13 "to live like men, with dignity and freedom.

02:04:16 "This is the good I've found.

02:04:19 "There's a small voice whispering around the earth,

02:04:23 "and the people are beginning to talk across their boundaries.

02:04:26 "This voice will grow in volume until it thunders all over the world.

02:04:30 "It's what you said and what José said and what Rosemary felt and Olivia.

02:04:35 "It's the rage that made Kansas cry.

02:04:38 "It says, 'This is our war now, and this time it'll be our peace.'"

02:04:45 I'm proud, proud to have known you, proud to have received your love.

02:04:51 Already I've had a complete, rich life in three short months.

02:04:57 I'm enclosing a deed at that little farm I told you about.

02:05:01 It's now in your name.

02:05:03 I'll wait for you there.

02:05:05 Or if you're there first, wait for me.

02:05:09 Thank you. Thank you, my darling, for my life.

02:05:13 Thank you for everything.

02:05:16 You're devoted, and this is the first time I've ever written it.

02:05:21 You're a devoted husband.

02:05:24 John!
