00:02:45Welcome to Melbourne. I bring you General MacArthur's compliments.

00:03:00Thank you, sir.

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

00:03:04How do you do?

00:03:05How do you do? I'm Lieutenant Schwartz.

00:03:07These are Lieutenants Armstrong, Leonard, O'Doul, Bocelli, Bollenbacher, and Emerson.

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

00:03:25We'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.

00:03:31Not even the girls on the other plane?

00:03:33No word as yet.

00:03:34Did any of the others get off?

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

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

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

00:03:49The rest of the girls are in the hands of those filthy...

00:03:51Then we should have stayed.

00:03:52You were carrying out your orders.

00:03:54And your further orders are to proceed immediately to the hotel, where the Red Cross has warm baths and clean clothes for you.

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

00:04:06Anything you want.

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

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

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

00:04:23On the very next transport.

00:04:26I thought there were eight of you.

00:04:28Davy, I mean Lieutenant Davidson, is just being brought off.

00:04:58I wore a 6A before, but I'm going to...

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

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

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

00:05:30Boy, this is sure a relief.

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

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

00:05:40What is a heroine, anyway?

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

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

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

00:05:53I've lost 35 pounds in this campaign, and I gotta get it back.

00:05:57Keep them coming every 15 minutes, if it's not too much trouble.

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

00:06:04No, you can't.

00:06:21This will be right here, nurse.

00:06:23Yes, sir.

00:06:38How is she, Patrick?

00:06:43The closer we get to home, the worse she gets.

00:06:46What do you think's wrong?

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

00:06:50It's simple.

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

00:06:54Oh, no.

00:06:56I know we did the wrong thing.

00:06:58She didn't want to go. She wanted to stay.

00:07:00And when we got her on the plane, she just collapsed.

00:07:02If it were a mere physical collapse, I'd know what to do.

00:07:06Frankly, I'm desperate.

00:07:14I wonder...

00:07:17I wonder, perhaps, if you can help me.

00:07:20We'll do anything, Doctor. Anything.

00:07:22It's not going to be easy.

00:07:25I hate to ask you, even.

00:07:27I know how much you all want to forget what you've been through.

00:07:31But I only have one hope left.

00:07:35This letter is addressed to her.

00:07:37Came through on the last plane from Indanao.

00:07:39Who's the letter from, Major?

00:07:41Signed by somebody called John.

00:07:43Oh, that's...

00:07:44Just a moment, please.

00:07:48I want you to tell me everything you can remember.

00:07:51Things that might not even concern her.

00:07:54You never know.

00:07:56Might have its place in the pattern.

00:08:00Well, the first time I met Lieutenant Davidson was last November.

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

00:08:07I remember it was cold and drizzly,

00:08:10and I had been staying with...

00:08:12Rosemary Larson.

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

00:08:18Goodbye, Mrs. Larson, and thanks for a wonderful time.

00:08:21I don't know when I've had better.

00:08:23You should have stayed around a little longer. I'd have made a real hep cat out of you.

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

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

00:08:31No, I won't. I want to see you go.

00:08:33Let Mama stay, Rosalie.

00:08:35I think I was going away for good.

00:08:41Davy, I'm sorry.

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

00:08:45This is Lieutenant O'Doole.

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

00:08:49Thank you.

00:08:51Are orchids regulation now, Lieutenant?

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

00:08:56Oh, I see.

00:08:58Well, good luck, Lieutenant, and bon voyage.

00:09:00Thank you, sir.

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

00:09:03What's the matter?

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

00:09:06Two?

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:17I parked one of them over at the gate.

00:09:19There you are, darling.

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

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

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

00:09:28Don't forget to write, dear.

00:09:31What does she mean, don't forget to write?

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

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

00:09:36Oh, Captain, Captain, will you hold this for me just for a second?

00:09:38And this, here.

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

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

00:09:45Say, who wrote that?

00:09:46Who wrote what?

00:09:48Whenever a snowflake leaves the sky,

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

00:09:53Kind of the faintest idea.

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

00:09:57The rest of what?

00:09:58The poem.

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

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

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

00:10:06Goodbye.

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

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

00:10:14And it goes, something and something on its way.

00:10:18What does?

00:10:20The snowflake.

00:10:22How's that look?

00:10:23Oh, it looks great. You're pretty.

00:10:24Thanks.

00:10:25Davey, I want you to meet my mother and dad and my brother, Georgie.

00:10:27Hold these, Georgie.

00:10:28Bye, snowflake.

00:10:29Thanks.

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

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

00:10:33How do you do?

00:10:35I think we better be going.

00:10:38Please, please, this is her first time away.

00:10:41Take care of my baby.

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

00:10:45I will worry.

00:10:46Is it not so?

00:10:47A mother must worry.

00:10:48Yes, I suppose so.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:11:03May God save you and keep you kindly

00:11:06and stand between you and her.

00:11:09Thank you.

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

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

00:11:19Goodbye, Martha.

00:11:21Oh, where's my cake? What have you done with my cake?

00:11:23Oh, it's Frederica's cake.

00:11:25Oh, I haven't had.

00:11:27Oh, Rosalie.

00:11:29Rosalie.

00:11:30You've got me crying.

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

00:11:35Joan.

00:11:37Where did you go?

00:11:38Well, I...

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

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

00:11:45Oh, there you are, Captain.

00:11:47I just remembered the end.

00:11:48The end of what?

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

00:11:50Oh, fine.

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

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

00:11:55Yes.

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

00:11:57Goodbye, darling.

00:11:58Goodbye.

00:11:59Goodbye, dear.

00:12:00Goodbye.

00:12:01Goodbye.

00:12:02Goodbye.

00:12:05Thanks, pal.

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

00:12:08I find it very strong.

00:12:13Say, you'll catch cold, Leatherneck.

00:12:15Who, me?

00:12:17Never had a cold in my life.

00:12:20We were to be stationed at Honolulu,

00:12:22and although the boat was a slow one,

00:12:24we enjoyed every minute of it.

00:12:26It was hard to believe it was December,

00:12:28what with the tropical sea, blue water, and flying fish.

00:12:39Oh, dear.

00:12:40Oh, dear.

00:12:41Oh, dear.

00:12:42Oh, dear.

00:12:43Oh, dear.

00:12:44Oh, dear.

00:12:45Oh, dear.

00:12:46Oh, dear.

00:12:47Oh, dear.

00:12:48Oh, dear.

00:12:49Oh, dear.

00:12:51Oh, dear.

00:12:52Oh, dear.

00:12:53Oh, dear.

00:12:54Oh, dear.

00:12:56Oh, dear.

00:12:57Oh, dear.

00:12:58Oh, dear.

00:12:59Oh, dear.

00:13:07Hi, Anne.

00:13:09How's your cold, Leatherneck?

00:13:11Oh, it's not a cold.

00:13:12It's just a rutted nose.

00:13:15Rutted nose.

00:13:16You better not take too much of this tropical sun.

00:13:17Don't you ever get tired of writing letters?

00:13:22Uh-uh.

00:13:23All doctors.

00:13:24Uh-huh.

00:13:25What's the date?

00:13:26It's Sunday.

00:13:27We had chapel.

00:13:28Sunday the what?

00:13:29Sunday the, uh, 7th.

00:13:30Thanks.

00:13:31I'll just head at 18 shopping days until Christmas.

00:13:32Maybe you'll take the hint.

00:13:33Pearl Harbor.

00:13:34Most of us didn't even know what it was, let alone where it was.

00:13:46So instead of landing at Hawaii, we were ordered to join a convoy somewhere in the Pacific.

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

00:14:16I'll open for two.

00:14:17For three.

00:14:18I'll see you.

00:14:19I'll stay.

00:14:20I'll pass.

00:14:21Go ahead.

00:14:22Bet.

00:14:23Well, I would.

00:14:24You should see.

00:14:25But you're not playing, Elsie.

00:14:26Two, please.

00:14:27I know it's not much of a convoy, but somehow those other ships make me feel more comfortable.

00:14:28It would be awful to be out here on the ocean all alone.

00:14:29These will do.

00:14:30I'll have two.

00:14:31I'll have two.

00:14:32I'll have two.

00:14:33I'll have two.

00:14:34I'll have two.

00:14:35I'll have two.

00:14:36I'll have two.

00:14:37I'll have two.

00:14:38I'll have two.

00:14:39I'll have two.

00:14:40I'll have two.

00:14:41I'll have two.

00:14:42I'll have two.

00:14:43I'll have two.

00:14:44I'll have two.

00:14:45I'll have three, please.

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

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

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

00:14:54And we probably won't see very much of the Jap fleet.

00:14:58Is that Marine trying to get your attention?

00:15:00Hmm?

00:15:01Oh, him?

00:15:02Oh, he's just a friend of mine from Kansas who wants to show me his clippings.

00:15:05He used to play football, I gathered.

00:15:07Football?

00:15:08Who is he?

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

00:15:10Let's find out, shall we?

00:15:12Hey, Kansas!

00:15:14Come on in.

00:15:26This is Captain Saunders, Captain Lawrence.

00:15:28How do you do?

00:15:29How do you do?

00:15:30They thought they'd like to see a scrapbook.

00:15:31Read it to us.

00:15:33Here with them?

00:15:34Uh-huh.

00:15:35Yes.

00:15:36Go ahead.

00:15:37Yes, ma'am.

00:15:38Read about your greatest single personal exploit.

00:15:40Oh, well.

00:15:41What position did you play, Kansas?

00:15:43Oh, I sort of flew around fullback.

00:15:46I used to play.

00:15:47Carry on.

00:15:49Yes, sir.

00:15:52Won one of the most thrilling gridiron battles of the year

00:15:55when a light, underestimated Kansas team defeated Notre Dame.

00:15:59Notre Dame?

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

00:16:02No, sir.

00:16:03Played colleges.

00:16:06Go ahead.

00:16:07Yes, sir.

00:16:08Though at the end of the first half,

00:16:10Notre Dame held a comfortable 14-0 margin...

00:16:13Very comfortable, I'd say.

00:16:18Margin.

00:16:19Nonetheless, in the second half,

00:16:21when the highly-touted Weeping Wallachick,

00:16:23despite an injury, was sent into the game,

00:16:26the Kansas Cyclone scored three touchdowns

00:16:29in ten minutes on runs of...

00:16:31Say, I remember that game.

00:16:32That was a terrific upset.

00:16:34Did you play on the same team with Weeping Wallachick?

00:16:36Well, uh...

00:16:38He's me.

00:16:39Well, why didn't you tell us who he was?

00:16:42I still don't know who he was.

00:16:44Weeping Wallachick.

00:16:45Yes, I know, but why Weeping Wallachick?

00:16:47Well, just sort of a habit, I guess.

00:16:49Everybody knew that until he got good and mad

00:16:51and started to cry, he couldn't play.

00:16:53Then Zowie touched down.

00:16:54Oh, yeah.

00:16:55I think it's in that book.

00:16:56Well, that's very...

00:16:57Come on, let's get on with the game.

00:16:58Just a minute, Joan. I want to...

00:16:59Where's that Army game?

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

00:17:03Weeping Wallachick.

00:17:04Weeping Wallachick. What do you know?

00:17:08The card game.

00:17:09Just a minute, Joan. Be with you. Just a minute.

00:17:11Hey, here it is.

00:17:12I remember that game.

00:17:13Boy, what a game.

00:17:14Boy, did you wreck the Army.

00:17:15Yeah, well, it was just after that game

00:17:18that I sort of figured I'd better join the Marines.

00:17:26Take her out to bed.

00:17:27Sorry.

00:17:35Uh, what's the matter with me?

00:17:37Have I got dandruff or something?

00:17:39I really can't tell out here in the dark.

00:17:42That's not what I mean.

00:17:43I know what you mean.

00:17:44Mm-hmm.

00:17:46Look, why won't you ever let me see you?

00:17:48Officers are not supposed to fraternize with enlisted men.

00:17:52I don't want to fraternize.

00:17:53I just want to see you.

00:17:55And pass the time of day.

00:17:57Well, it would be better than nothing.

00:17:58Yes.

00:17:59Sunburn.

00:18:00Well, just stop your maneuvers

00:18:01before you make contact with the main body.

00:18:04Uh, don't you like me?

00:18:06Mm-hmm, I like you.

00:18:07That's just sort of, uh, so what, huh?

00:18:10That's right.

00:18:15Uh, look, Lieutenant,

00:18:17if it's something I've done,

00:18:18or if I just plain annoy you,

00:18:20I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore.

00:18:23Oh, don't go.

00:18:24I'll be back in a minute.

00:18:25I'll be back in a minute.

00:18:26I'll be back in a minute.

00:18:27Come on, girl.

00:18:28Oh, don't go.

00:18:30I'm just being childish.

00:18:33I sure would like to meet one guy, though.

00:18:35It doesn't make a pass.

00:18:36Well, when you do, you better begin to worry.

00:18:39You're not so dumb.

00:18:41I just talk dumb.

00:18:42But why can't men and women be pals?

00:18:45Because only men and men are pals.

00:18:48All right, come on, get it over with.

00:18:51Better.

00:18:52Incidentally, I'm, uh, warning you, Kansas,

00:18:54I melt at a very low temperature.

00:18:56Well, then I'll try to be pals.

00:18:58Okay, and when you can't stand it any longer,

00:19:00from time to time, I'll let you kiss me.

00:19:04This, uh, one of those times?

00:19:06Nope.

00:19:08Okay.

00:19:09Let me know.

00:19:12Got him.

00:19:13Look there.

00:19:17Something, I guess.

00:19:26Whoa!

00:19:27Whoa!

00:19:28Whoa!

00:19:29Whoa!

00:19:30Whoa!

00:19:31Whoa!

00:19:32Whoa!

00:19:33Whoa!

00:19:34Whoa!

00:19:35Whoa!

00:19:36Whoa!

00:19:37Whoa!

00:19:38Whoa!

00:19:39Whoa!

00:19:40Whoa!

00:19:41Whoa!

00:19:42Whoa!

00:19:43Whoa!

00:19:44Whoa!

00:19:45Whoa!

00:19:46Whoa!

00:19:47Whoa!

00:19:48Whoa!

00:19:49Whoa!

00:19:50Whoa!

00:19:51Whoa!

00:19:52Whoa!

00:19:53Whoa!

00:19:54Whoa!

00:19:56We picked up a number of survivors

00:19:58from the torpedoed ships who were suffering from shock

00:20:01and burns from the oil in the water.

00:20:03They were pitifully few,

00:20:04but more than we could accommodate in sickbay,

00:20:06so we turned the salon into a temporary hospital.

00:20:09For a while, we were so busy,

00:20:10it kind of took our minds off the war.

00:20:12One of the survivors, only slightly burned,

00:20:14was a nurse from the other ship.

00:20:16Her name was Olivia.

00:20:18We tried to be friendly,

00:20:19but she didn't want any part of us,

00:20:21so we didn't want any part of her.

00:20:24There you are, Olivia.

00:20:26I'm glad it was no more serious than that.

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

00:20:30Thank you.

00:20:39Oh, Olivia.

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

00:20:42Let's see.

00:20:43It's fine.

00:20:45You're a very lucky girl.

00:20:47Lucky?

00:20:48Well, yes.

00:20:49We didn't get many survivors.

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

00:20:53Why did that boat leave after Pearl Harbor?

00:20:55I realize we need supplies in the Philippines, but...

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

00:21:02I see.

00:21:03Incidentally, your orders came through.

00:21:05You're to join our unit.

00:21:06Here are a couple of extra caps.

00:21:08I've sent your new issue to room 10 on C deck.

00:21:11You'll bunk in with Miss Bocelli.

00:21:13She's already mentioned it to me.

00:21:15She doesn't want me to.

00:21:17Oh.

00:21:19All right, I'll talk to her.

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

00:21:24Tony, what's this about Olivia?

00:21:27I just don't want her around.

00:21:28But why? What's the matter?

00:21:30Oversupply of gall.

00:21:31Her gallbladder needs draining.

00:21:33What she needs is a permanent anesthetic.

00:21:36Of course, if it's an order, she can come in with me.

00:21:39Never mind, I'll get someone else.

00:21:43Oh, Joan.

00:21:44Joan, do you mind Olivia bunking in with you?

00:21:46What did I do to get punished?

00:21:48Well, I'd do it myself,

00:21:49only Rosemary's still a little homesick and frightened.

00:21:51That Olivia, I'd like to give her an injection

00:21:53and leave the needle in,

00:21:54but okay if I'm the victim of this.

00:21:56I don't know why I'm so nice.

00:22:00Look, I'm perfectly all right.

00:22:01When do I get up?

00:22:02When you're told.

00:22:03Now, take your shirt off.

00:22:04Nice boy.

00:22:05What for?

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

00:22:08Oh, beautiful.

00:22:09Tell me, do you think I can get my initials embroidered on those?

00:22:12Sure, what are your initials?

00:22:13D-O-P-E?

00:22:14Here.

00:22:15Oh, great.

00:22:16This is going to be fine.

00:22:19Uh, what's that for?

00:22:20A bath. I'm going to give you a bath.

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

00:22:24Oh, one of those.

00:22:26Miss Davidson.

00:22:27Miss Davidson.

00:22:33The patient's supposed to have a bath

00:22:34and refuses to let me give it to him.

00:22:36Oh, all right, Miss O'Donnell.

00:22:38Thank you, nursey.

00:22:44Lieutenant John Summers.

00:22:45Mm-hmm.

00:22:46With the medical unit.

00:22:47Mm-hmm.

00:22:48Fine.

00:22:49A doctor and you won't let a nurse wash you.

00:22:52I'm not a doctor, I'm a technician.

00:22:54I was associate professor of chemistry at Hawaii.

00:22:56Oh, I see.

00:22:57A professor.

00:22:58Well, that explains it.

00:23:00What are you doing?

00:23:01You're going to have a bath and don't be coy.

00:23:04I don't care how dirty I may be.

00:23:06You reek.

00:23:07I can still smell that oil you were swimming in.

00:23:09No female's going to bathe me.

00:23:11Your mother did.

00:23:12Only until I was big enough to knock her down.

00:23:14Mm-hmm.

00:23:15All right, now.

00:23:16Which is it to be, the sheet or your arm?

00:23:23Angels of mercy, huh?

00:23:25You're a bunch of wrestlers.

00:23:30What's the matter?

00:23:31My head.

00:23:33Feel dizzy?

00:23:34Yes.

00:23:35No feeling in your hands and feet?

00:23:37Yes, that's right.

00:23:38You're lying.

00:23:46You're lying.

00:23:58When people get to know you awfully well,

00:24:00what do they call you?

00:24:01Lieutenant.

00:24:02Oh.

00:24:03All right, turn over and get your back done.

00:24:06This isn't as humiliating as I thought.

00:24:12That's nice.

00:24:13Do it again.

00:24:14Get down.

00:24:16Since you like this so much,

00:24:17I'm going to let you do it every day.

00:24:19Oh, that'll be such fun.

00:24:21Now, turn over.

00:24:27Here.

00:24:29Now, turn over.

00:24:30Now, turn over.

00:24:31Now, turn over.

00:24:32Now, turn over.

00:24:33Now, turn over.

00:24:34Here.

00:24:39Most of the patients were up and about by Christmas Eve.

00:24:43We'd been on the high seas for almost a month,

00:24:45and the people were getting kind of jittery,

00:24:47so the Chaplain arranged with the captain

00:24:49to have a little Christmas party.

00:24:52Joan, I think you were with Janet that evening.

00:24:54Maybe you could tell what happened better than I.

00:24:57Well, I remember we all decided to dress up.

00:25:00I wanted to make an impression on Kansas,

00:25:02The only snaky thing I had was a black nightgown,

00:25:05which, with a few trimmings, did for me.

00:25:10Hey, Rosemary, give me a hand, will you?

00:25:12Sure.

00:25:13Davey, aren't you dressing for the party?

00:25:15I don't think so, dear.

00:25:17How about you?

00:25:18Sorry.

00:25:21This is for Lieutenant Davidson.

00:25:23Thank you.

00:25:26Doesn't Rosemary look nice?

00:25:27Yes.

00:25:28Where'd you get the red sash?

00:25:29It was just part of an old surgical gown I dyed with mercurochrome.

00:25:33It's nice.

00:25:50And he's never seen you out of uniform.

00:25:53Who?

00:25:54Who do you think?

00:25:56Oh, you mean Lieutenant Summers?

00:25:58Oh, it's still formal with you two.

00:26:00You'd better get informal with him or other people will.

00:26:02He's a pretty cute guy, you know.

00:26:06Mm, pretty soigneur, huh? How does he look, Rosemary?

00:26:09Haven't you got anything simpler?

00:26:11Simpler?

00:26:12Well, I have some other things in my musette bag.

00:26:14I don't know if you'd call them simple.

00:26:16Come on in. It's over there someplace.

00:26:25This ought to be about right, the locket.

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

00:26:27It must be Olivia's.

00:26:29Let's see. I don't think she'd mind.

00:26:31I like it.

00:26:35Hello, Olivia.

00:26:37Take that off.

00:26:38Well, I only want to wear it tonight.

00:26:40I said take that off.

00:26:41What do you mean snooping around in my things?

00:26:43She didn't. I found it.

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

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

00:26:49Baby! Baby!

00:26:51Stop it!

00:26:52Stop it!

00:26:53She started it and I don't get slugged by him.

00:26:55Stop it! Now, I order you to stop it!

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

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

00:27:01Sorry, Davy.

00:27:02It was my fault, Davy. By mistake, I opened Olivia's musette bag.

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

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

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

00:27:09You realize that, don't you?

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

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

00:27:16going nowhere, getting nowhere,

00:27:17but we've just got to hang on a little longer, that's all.

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

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

00:27:25Sorry, Olivia.

00:27:28All right, Joan.

00:27:37Joan's just impulsive. She didn't really mean any harm.

00:27:42Come on. Why don't you go up with me, hmm?

00:27:45Maybe I'll ask party in a long time.

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

00:27:55Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

00:28:04What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

00:28:14Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

00:28:25O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

00:28:36Sleep in heavenly peace.

00:28:48Sleep in heavenly peace.

00:28:59Merry Christmas.

00:29:04Merry Christmas.

00:29:07Merry Christmas.

00:29:11May I have your attention, please?

00:29:14Thank you. I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun here tonight.

00:29:18Now, before we begin, I personally want to thank the chaplain

00:29:22for producing this sea-going Christmas tree.

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

00:29:31Oh, thanks.

00:29:35Before we get on with it, there is something in my heart

00:29:39that I would like to say to you.

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

00:29:43and because it is, you must forgive me for being sentimental.

00:29:46We're a sentimental people, and I think we're proud of it.

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

00:29:54it makes us the stronger.

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

00:30:01when war is flaming throughout the globe.

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

00:30:09and so all I want to say in the tragedy all about us is

00:30:16have faith, not a blind faith,

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

00:30:24We must have such faith in those things,

00:30:27such faith in ourselves, such faith in mankind,

00:30:31that we are tough about the things we believe in,

00:30:35so tough that we will fight to the death

00:30:39to make those tender and sentimental beliefs

00:30:44like Christmas a reality forever.

00:30:51Now, God bless us, everyone.

00:30:54Thank you.

00:31:05And let me wish you a Merry Christmas.

00:31:08How about some music?

00:31:25Hey, Cat.

00:31:27Why don't you come on in?

00:31:29All the rules are off tonight. It's Christmas.

00:31:32Yeah, fine Christmas. No mistletoe.

00:31:36All right, if it means that much to you here.

00:31:46Merry Christmas.

00:31:49See?

00:31:51What did I tell you?

00:31:52What did I tell you?

00:31:57Did you get my present?

00:31:58Oh, yes. Thank you.

00:32:00Well, what's mine in return?

00:32:03My thanks.

00:32:04I suppose I'll have to be satisfied with just that.

00:32:09You realize this is the first time you've been in my arms?

00:32:12Oh, I've been in lots of arms.

00:32:14Yes, but these are mine. I want you to get used to them.

00:32:22Say, Kansas, you know we've never danced together.

00:32:25Wanna?

00:32:26Can you?

00:32:28Sure, I used to fool around a little bit.

00:32:33Say, don't waste this.

00:32:35Pretty hot stuff.

00:32:50What's the matter with you, Davey?

00:32:51Why?

00:32:52You seem to be smiling all over.

00:32:57Good heavens. Aren't you in bed yet?

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:33:18Thanks, pal.

00:33:19Has she ever opened up? Ever give you a hint of what's wrong?

00:33:22There's nothing wrong. She's just naturally a frozen-faced ghoul.

00:33:38Are you asleep, Olivia?

00:33:39No.

00:33:42Do you mind if I turn on the light?

00:33:44No.

00:33:46Is it all right if I bunk in here?

00:33:49Yes.

00:33:54What's the matter, Olivia?

00:33:56Something's hurt you. Why don't you talk about it? Get it off your chest.

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

00:34:02It's none of your business, so don't forget you are my superior officer.

00:34:09Maybe if I knew what was eating you, I could help.

00:34:11Nobody can. I don't want anybody to try.

00:34:14I can do it myself.

00:34:20Why did you lose your temper when Joan...

00:34:22Put that down. Do I go through your things?

00:34:26I don't think we'd better talk anymore. I'm beginning to get pretty sore.

00:34:29All right, so you're beginning to get sore. Enjoy it.

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

00:34:34Maybe it does concern me.

00:34:36It concerns me that the morale of this group remains high.

00:34:39Until you joined up, it was.

00:34:41But you're just a troublemaker.

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

00:34:46I don't like you any more than the rest of the girls do.

00:34:48I'm supposed to be a nurse and that's all.

00:34:50No. There's more than that now that we're at war.

00:34:53Maybe you don't know what's up.

00:34:55Maybe you don't know what we're doing here.

00:34:57You think I don't know.

00:34:59All right, I'll tell you. I know what I'm doing. I know why I'm here.

00:35:03I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to kill Japs.

00:35:05Every blood-stained one I can get my hands on.

00:35:08Olivia.

00:35:09That doesn't sound nice coming from a nurse, does it?

00:35:11We're supposed to be angels of mercy.

00:35:13We're supposed to tend to the wounded and take care of the sick.

00:35:15We're supposed to be kind and tender and serve humanity in the name of humanity.

00:35:19What humanity? Jap humanity?

00:35:21Olivia, be quiet.

00:35:22No, you asked me. You wanted to know.

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

00:35:26You wanted to know what this is.

00:35:28Look. Look at that.

00:35:30Do you know what it is?

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

00:35:34Come in, both of you. You wanted to know, too.

00:35:37Today is Christmas, isn't it?

00:35:39The time for cheer and good fellowship and for peace.

00:35:42Well, today's my wedding day.

00:35:44You see that?

00:35:45He and I were to be married today in St. Louis.

00:35:48And why weren't we?

00:35:49Because he's dead.

00:35:51He died that first morning.

00:35:53They killed him. I saw him.

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

00:35:58Sixty bullets. Sixty.

00:36:01By the time I got to him, he was dead.

00:36:03His face was gone. I couldn't see him anymore.

00:36:06Just blood. Blood all over.

00:36:10Let me go.

00:36:12Don't.

00:36:13Let me go. Let me go.

00:36:14They must be punished and I'm going to punish them.

00:36:17Yes, dear.

00:36:18He was dead. It was ended for him.

00:36:21Oh, Libby, dear.

00:36:24I wanted him. He was all I had.

00:36:27Yes, dear.

00:36:29I loved him so much.

00:36:32The next few days, we really began to get jittery.

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

00:36:40And the rumor factory was going full blast.

00:36:46All over Los Angeles.

00:36:48Shh. Quiet. Listen.

00:36:50It seems Honolulu itself was...

00:36:53Well, maybe it is so.

00:36:55Say, baby, we just heard on the radio we lost Honolulu.

00:36:57Now, how could you hear that? I heard it too.

00:36:59All it said was, blah, blah, blah, Honolulu.

00:37:01San Francisco's in flames. I know that.

00:37:03San Francisco's in flames. I know that.

00:37:05Tony, turn that thing down.

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

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

00:37:13We haven't lost Honolulu and there's been no bombing

00:37:15either in Los Angeles or San Francisco.

00:37:17Who said so?

00:37:18I just read the communique the captain got.

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

00:37:24What does that mean?

00:37:25It means we can't land there.

00:37:27Well, then, are we going back home?

00:37:29We can't go back. The army needs what supplies we've got on board.

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

00:37:34Bataan Peninsula. It's in command of General MacArthur.

00:37:37Well, if it's good enough for General, it's good enough for me,

00:37:39as long as they've got plenty to eat.

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

00:37:52Oh, hello.

00:37:53Well, hello. Have you been trying to avoid me?

00:37:57Frankly, I have.

00:37:58Why?

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

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

00:38:06I find the noise very reassuring.

00:38:08Oh, come on.

00:38:12Now, I don't want to seem impetuous.

00:38:14You don't?

00:38:15All right, I do want to seem impetuous then.

00:38:17But the point is, anything can happen.

00:38:19Such as?

00:38:20The boat might sink.

00:38:21Oh, it might.

00:38:23If it does, we might never see each other again.

00:38:27That's possible.

00:38:28Perhaps someplace in the hereafter.

00:38:31But then I wouldn't have my body.

00:38:33What's more important, you wouldn't have yours either.

00:38:37That might be very interesting.

00:38:39Well, I'll see you there sometime.

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

00:38:43After all, I'm not so bad looking.

00:38:45I'm supposed to be very intelligent, in fact.

00:38:47I work hard. I make $5,000 a year.

00:38:49Oh, you make $166 a month now.

00:38:52Please, I mean this.

00:38:54I'm in love with you, Lieutenant.

00:38:57If only we'd met somewhere else before.

00:38:59You'd have had a wonderful time as I would, you know.

00:39:02I think so.

00:39:03I'm positive.

00:39:04I'd have really been foolish.

00:39:06I feel foolish enough now.

00:39:07But then I would have spent sleepless nights,

00:39:10bought flowers to lay at your feet,

00:39:11flowers I couldn't possibly have afforded.

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

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

00:39:19At first, I think my dog-like devotion

00:39:21would have made you pity me a little.

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

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

00:39:27in some dingy little French restaurant

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

00:39:33But with all that's happening,

00:39:34I don't have to be ridiculous for you to love me.

00:39:37There's no time.

00:39:38Out there, the second a torpedo

00:39:39may be spinning its way toward us.

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

00:39:43I think when you knew me, you'd love me,

00:39:44but there's no time.

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

00:39:48You're right.

00:39:50There's no time.

00:39:51No time for anything personal.

00:39:54Thanks for everything you said.

00:39:56Maybe everything you say is true,

00:39:58and maybe you wouldn't have had to do all those things.

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

00:40:03You know now, don't you?

00:40:04No, please, John, don't make it difficult.

00:40:06I've been trying to avoid you.

00:40:07That ought to tell you something.

00:40:09I can't love you.

00:40:10I won't permit myself to.

00:40:11Why not?

00:40:12Because I've got a job to do.

00:40:14What's that got to do with it?

00:40:15We've all got jobs to do.

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

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

00:40:24You do look a little foolish.

00:40:26I wish we had met somewhere in a dingy little French restaurant.

00:40:30But maybe we will.

00:40:32Good night.

00:40:34Let me kiss you goodbye now?

00:40:35No.

00:40:36Just once?

00:40:41Oh, no, please.

00:40:42Please.

00:40:52What's the matter?

00:40:54Listen, the engines have stopped.

00:40:56Your life preserver.

00:40:58Where's your life preserver?

00:40:59I left it in the cabin.

00:41:00Here, take mine.

00:41:01No.

00:41:02Take it.

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

00:41:05No.

00:41:06You're lying.

00:41:07You do love me.

00:41:08Yes.

00:41:09Well, say it then.

00:41:10I love you.

00:41:11You better get down to your stations.

00:41:12What are the engines stopped for?

00:41:13They run up the cabin.

00:41:14I'm sure he'd be delighted to tell you over scotch and soda.

00:41:16It's one of ours?

00:41:17Sounds like it.

00:41:19It is.

00:41:20It's a PBY.

00:41:27I guess Bataan can't be so very far away.

00:41:34We landed at Marvellis, a small, snug harbor on Bataan Peninsula,

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

00:41:49Lieutenant Davidson?

00:41:50Yes, sir.

00:41:51The CO wants to see you immediately.

00:41:52Yes, sir.

00:41:53This is Ling Chi.

00:41:54How do you do?

00:41:55How do you do?

00:41:56He's going to drive you to your destination.

00:41:57You leave right away.

00:41:58Mr. Ling will take you to the CO.

00:41:59Thank you.

00:42:05It's good to be on land again.

00:42:07Have you been in the Army long, Mr. Ling?

00:42:09No, I was editor of the Chinese Advertiser.

00:42:12And I'm happy to see you again.

00:42:14Have you been in the Army long, Mr. Ling?

00:42:16No, I was editor of the Chinese Advertiser.

00:42:19And I'm happy to say, like Abu Ben Adam,

00:42:21my name led all the rest on the Japanese blacklist.

00:42:24Girls, this is Mr. Ling Chi,

00:42:26who's going to be with us for the rest of the trip.

00:42:28Now, each one find her own duffel bag.

00:42:30Heat big war.

00:42:31Him near here, savvy?

00:42:33I'm a Chinese lieutenant, not an Indian.

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

00:42:45Sir, Lieutenant Davidson.

00:42:48Colonel White.

00:42:49I thought it might be you when I saw the name.

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

00:42:54Oh, thank you.

00:42:55Where was it?

00:42:56Shanghai.

00:42:57Oh, I remember now.

00:42:58It was just after you lost your dad.

00:43:00Well, welcome to Bataan.

00:43:01Thank you, sir.

00:43:02And you're in the Army, too?

00:43:03Yes, and very happy.

00:43:05Happier still that you're our CO.

00:43:07I'm a terribly strict disciplinarian, Janet.

00:43:10Now, these are your orders.

00:43:12Proceed immediately to Lamai, our number one base hospital.

00:43:17Now, here's Lamai.

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

00:43:22And over there is Corregidor.

00:43:24And up there beyond Lamai, about 40 kilometers to the front lines.

00:43:27Thank you, sir.

00:43:30Pardon me, Colonel White.

00:43:32Where is the fourth medical unit?

00:43:34Fourth unit? Let me see.

00:43:35They were the first ones off.

00:43:36They disembarked early this afternoon.

00:43:38Oh, they've gone.

00:43:39To what base, sir?

00:43:40Base?

00:43:41They're based on the front lines.

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

00:43:46The technicians, too?

00:43:47Well, there's nothing for them to get technical with,

00:43:49except maybe a stretcher.

00:43:52Thank you, sir.

00:44:00Hey, John!

00:44:05Hi, Kansas.

00:44:06Gosh, you've been looking all over for me.

00:44:08I just wanted to say so long.

00:44:10Oh, well, I'll be seeing you.

00:44:12Kansas, are you scared, too?

00:44:15You mean you feel as if you've suddenly lost your belly?

00:44:19Yeah.

00:44:20Me, too.

00:44:21But that's just like in a football game.

00:44:23You stand there and wait for the whistle to blow,

00:44:26and all of a sudden your knees get like water,

00:44:28and you feel like you're thrown up.

00:44:31Then all of a sudden it toots.

00:44:33Oh, don't do that.

00:44:36And then the first thing you know, you're in there,

00:44:38and you're not scared anymore.

00:44:40I hope so.

00:44:41So long, Kansas.

00:44:43And don't get lost.

00:44:45Who, me?

00:44:46How could I get lost?

00:44:48Hey, your gang went in the other direction.

00:44:50Well, I...

00:44:54Thank you.

00:44:55Don't let anything happen to you.

00:44:57Who, me?

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

00:45:09Look, don't say anything else except goodbye.

00:45:13Goodbye.

00:45:18Here's some gum.

00:45:19A little farewell present for the girls.

00:45:21Thank you.

00:45:22So long.

00:45:23So long, girls.

00:45:24So long.

00:45:25Good luck.

00:45:26See you later.

00:45:27We arrived at Lamai late that night.

00:45:29It was a dusty little village where the army had established

00:45:32a small supply base.

00:45:34But with a sudden change in plans,

00:45:36the warehouses became hospitals and headquarters

00:45:38for the nurses.

00:45:39This was to be our home.

00:45:41We were glad to be there, and glad mostly

00:45:43at the thought of a night's sleep on solid earth.

00:45:46Whoa.

00:45:47Whoa.

00:45:48Whoa.

00:45:49Whoa.

00:45:50Whoa.

00:45:51Whoa.

00:45:52Whoa.

00:45:53Whoa.

00:45:54Whoa.

00:45:55Whoa.

00:45:56Whoa.

00:45:57I'm glad to see you.

00:45:59Nope.

00:46:00Well, the old homestead hasn't changed a bit.

00:46:03Easy.

00:46:04Easy now.

00:46:05Shh.

00:46:10Captain McGregor?

00:46:11Yes.

00:46:12Lieutenant Davidson reporting.

00:46:14Well, you finally got here.

00:46:15Hello, Ma.

00:46:16Oh, Jewell, isn't it?

00:46:17Yes, Fort Sam Houston.

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

00:46:20Her bite's much worse than her bark.

00:46:21But I bark, too.

00:46:22Now, you better all dive into your whites.

00:46:24I'll get you some GI tomorrow.

00:46:25You can't wear whites here.

00:46:26The nearest laundry is in Manila.

00:46:28We need you right away.

00:46:30Some of our girls have forgotten what the word sleep means.

00:46:33Chee, show them to nurse's quarters.

00:46:36I'll get a move on with you.

00:46:37I'm glad you're here.

00:46:38Thank you.

00:46:43Captain?

00:46:44Yes?

00:46:45Do you have any Japanese wounded here?

00:46:47A few.

00:46:48I'd like to handle them.

00:46:49You know their language?

00:46:50No, but I'm anxious to learn.

00:46:54Well, I guess you can be accommodated.

00:46:56I'll put you down for Ward 11.

00:46:58Thank you, Captain.

00:46:59The name is Darcy.

00:47:06And be careful of the foxholes.

00:47:07Where are they?

00:47:08They're all over.

00:47:09Well, can't you see them?

00:47:10No.

00:47:11Well, then how do you know where they are?

00:47:12If you fall in one, you'll know.

00:47:16Uh, this is Ward 7.

00:47:18That's me.

00:47:19Next to it is the children's ward.

00:47:21Oh, that's for me.

00:47:22See you later, kids.

00:47:23Bye.

00:47:24And this is the surgery.

00:47:26Come on, Rosemary.

00:47:27You go with me.

00:47:28Good night, girls.

00:47:29Be all right.

00:47:30Good night.

00:47:31Over there is number 3.

00:47:32Number 3, that's me.

00:47:34This is Ward number 11.

00:47:36This is where we keep the prisoners.

00:47:38Why aren't the numbers in order?

00:47:39Oh, well, we'll mix them up so as to confuse

00:47:41the Japs and ourselves.

00:47:43Well, they certainly aren't confusing me.

00:47:45I'd like that.

00:47:53Oh.

00:48:18Oh.

00:48:19I'm Darcy.

00:48:20Patterson.

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

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

00:48:25when you get around to it.

00:48:27Run along.

00:48:28I'll take over.

00:48:29Thanks.

00:48:30Good night.

00:48:31Good night.

00:48:51It's just exhaustion.

00:49:06Oh, the poor kid.

00:49:08Get her to bed.

00:49:09We'll take over.

00:49:10Where are your surgery masks?

00:49:12Masks?

00:49:13We used them all up long ago.

00:49:14You go on in.

00:49:15I'll have to scrub again.

00:49:17I'm sorry.

00:49:18I can't understand you.

00:49:19Oh, I'm sorry.

00:49:20I tore my glove.

00:49:21Help me out with a new one, please.

00:49:23Madeline, I mean, I mean, hurry, please.

00:49:27What is the case, Doctor?

00:49:29Caesarean.

00:49:30Caesarean?

00:49:31Oh, yes.

00:49:32You seem surprised.

00:49:33I have a peacetime practice as well as a wartime practice.

00:49:37My name is Jose Padilla, University of Philippines

00:49:41and Johns Hopkins.

00:49:42I'm Miss Larson.

00:49:43Those are good hands for surgery.

00:49:44We can use them here.

00:49:45All right, Miss Larson.

00:49:48You must forgive me if I talk while I'm operating.

00:49:51I'm so used to lecturing to my students.

00:49:54Sponge, sometimes I thank my stars

00:49:58for my scientific education.

00:50:00It makes me objective.

00:50:02Broken bone.

00:50:03Let's set it.

00:50:04You know what to do.

00:50:05A baby to be born.

00:50:07Breach to the heart.

00:50:09You know what to do.

00:50:10A baby to be born.

00:50:12Breach to livery.

00:50:13Porceps.

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

00:50:17Live for what?

00:50:18Don't people die fast enough without destroying each other?

00:50:22Is life too long?

00:50:24Sponge, no, we mustn't ask that.

00:50:28That's not scientific.

00:50:30I wonder how scientific those still heaps out there

00:50:34on the battlefield feel.

00:50:36Guns.

00:50:37Machines.

00:50:38Men.

00:50:39So much rubbish.

00:50:41What was it my student asked?

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

00:50:46Probably $1.05.

00:50:48What with the shortage of bats and monopoly now,

00:50:51the dead have risen in value.

00:50:53Two for $1.98 on dollar day.

00:50:57Doctor, the patient.

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

00:51:01She will die soon of a bullet wound

00:51:03she received two days ago

00:51:05and the baby started to come.

00:51:06It was too much for her.

00:51:08Die.

00:51:12Now where were we in the lecture?

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

00:51:19What bore him?

00:51:20I don't know.

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

00:51:2597 cents worth of body but a priceless spirit.

00:51:36May he be born to live in freedom.

00:51:44And then Superman with one hand held the streamliner

00:51:48and with the other one tore down the bridge

00:51:50and thus saved the life of his sweetheart.

00:51:53I don't know.

00:51:54I don't know.

00:51:55I don't know.

00:51:56I don't know.

00:51:57I don't know.

00:51:58I don't know.

00:51:59I don't know.

00:52:00I don't know.

00:52:01I don't know.

00:52:02I don't know.

00:52:03I don't know.

00:52:04I don't know.

00:52:05Now Superman holds the streamliner of a ship.

00:52:10My translator.

00:52:11If he's good why doesn't he have a share?

00:52:15She wants to know if Superman is so good why isn't he here?

00:52:18She would.

00:52:19Tell her he just landed with the Marines.

00:52:21We call in Kansas.

00:52:24Oh Miss Daines.

00:52:25Yes.

00:52:26Here's your list.

00:52:27I've assigned all your girls.

00:52:28I'll see you in the morning.

00:52:29Darcy with the Japanese wound, dear.

00:52:31What is it?

00:52:34Don't you think it would be better if I took over?

00:52:36No, not at all.

00:52:37There's nothing wrong here.

00:52:39Is there, Olivia?

00:52:40No.

00:52:41No.

00:52:42No.

00:52:43No.

00:52:44No.

00:52:45No.

00:52:46No.

00:52:47No.

00:52:48No.

00:52:49No.

00:52:50No.

00:52:51No.

00:52:52No.

00:52:53No.

00:52:54No.

00:52:55No.

00:52:56No.

00:52:57No.

00:52:58No.

00:52:59No.

00:53:00No.

00:53:01No.

00:53:02No.

00:53:03No.

00:53:04Is there, Olivia?

00:53:05No.

00:53:06You don't want anyone to leave you now.

00:53:08Right.

00:53:09I'll see you later.

00:53:17We soon found out how ripe McGregor was about wearing whites.

00:53:21The next day, the quartermaster gave us a man's coveralls, as well as their shoes and underwear.

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

00:53:30The next couple of weeks were misleading, as the pressure from the enemy got to be routine

00:53:51to us, and the wound had kept pouring in from the daily engagements.

00:53:55But the most terrible thing was our medical supplies were beginning to run low.

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

00:54:02Carabao meat, tea, and a bit of rice.

00:54:05Occasionally, we got a mule steak.

00:54:07It was so stubborn, it stuck in your throat.

00:54:11Most of us slept in GI underwear, except Joan, who had clung desperately to her black silk

00:54:16nightgown.

00:54:19Good morning, sunshine.

00:54:21Good morning, Joan.

00:54:22Oh, hi.

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

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

00:54:32Are you tired?

00:54:34I'm numb.

00:54:37How do my feet hurt?

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

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

00:54:47It's well.

00:54:48You're doing a grand job, Livvy.

00:54:51Who isn't?

00:54:53Thanks, baby.

00:54:54For what?

00:54:56I can't say it exactly, but for what you did.

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

00:55:02You set yourself straight.

00:55:04You were so right in letting me fight it out for myself.

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

00:55:13Almost.

00:55:15You want to talk about him?

00:55:17No.

00:55:18No point.

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

00:55:21I have too much to do.

00:55:23You never did, really.

00:55:25Yes, I did.

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

00:55:30I think I know how you feel.

00:55:34Worried about you, Lieutenant?

00:55:37I haven't heard a thing since we left the boat.

00:55:44Out, everybody, out.

00:55:45Emergency.

00:55:47Ray.

00:55:48Oh, no, you take a nap.

00:55:49I'll call you later.

00:55:50Come on, girl.

00:55:51Emergency, Jones.

00:55:52What's up?

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

00:55:56Come out to surgery.

00:55:57Right.

00:56:04I've got an emergency of my own.

00:56:07There's no use, Colonel.

00:56:09I can't take any more wounded.

00:56:10I'm sure we have no more beds.

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

00:56:13I'll run over to the jungle hospital tomorrow.

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

00:56:17Hello, Colonel White.

00:56:18Oh, hello, Janet.

00:56:18How many empty beds have we?

00:56:20We have none.

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

00:56:23Yes, Captain McGregor.

00:56:24Davidson, take over in my office with him.

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

00:56:27Yes.

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

00:56:31How do you do?

00:56:32Flying with the infantry now.

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

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

00:56:37I've heard quite a lot about you from John Summers.

00:56:39John?

00:56:40Well, where is he?

00:56:40In the mess hall.

00:56:41Oh, oh, thank you.

00:56:43John!

00:56:58Hiya, Davy.

00:56:59Hello, darling.

00:57:02Oh, say, it feels better without the whiskers.

00:57:04Mm, you finished?

00:57:05Yes.

00:57:06Did you get some sleep?

00:57:07Best I've ever had.

00:57:08You're a perfect sedative.

00:57:08Oh, thank you.

00:57:09Oh, thank you.

00:57:10Oh, thank you.

00:57:11Oh, thank you.

00:57:12Oh, thank you.

00:57:13Well, let's call a taxi.

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

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

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

00:57:21No taxis tonight.

00:57:27Have you seen Miss Davidson?

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

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

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

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

00:57:37Yes, ma'am.

00:57:39Oh, this keeps up my morale.

00:57:43Oh, this is it, the Patan River.

00:57:54You wouldn't even know there's a war going on here.

00:57:57That was the idea.

00:58:02Darling, was it terrible up there?

00:58:04It wasn't pretty.

00:58:06We're so outnumbered.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:58:24They must be.

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

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

00:58:29Figure what?

00:58:30Why they do it.

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

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

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

00:58:38Come on, let's trench over here.

00:58:52It's the only nice thing the Japs have done so far this war.

00:58:56Oh, look.

00:59:01You see, we have nothing but the best.

00:59:02You know, sometimes I thought you might forget me.

00:59:05I tried to.

00:59:07You did?

00:59:07What for?

00:59:09Because you trouble me so much.

00:59:11I'm sorry.

00:59:13You know, everything that happens, everything I do, you're part of it.

00:59:18I think I can't get you out of my mind.

00:59:20Don't try.

00:59:22I'm not going to anymore.

00:59:28It's the reconnaissance I do.

00:59:30It's the reconnaissance, I guess.

00:59:35Why are you looking at me like that for?

00:59:37I want to remember exactly how you look.

00:59:40You know, sometimes I couldn't even remember the color of your eyes.

00:59:43Your whole face was hazy.

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

00:59:48Thank God I had you to think about out there.

00:59:51I still don't think you should go back.

00:59:52Yeah, you know better than that.

00:59:56I have a feeling that if you go back, I'll never see you again.

01:00:00Don't worry.

01:00:01Believe me, I'll take care of myself for you.

01:00:03I promise you won't worry.

01:00:06I promise.

01:00:09But I'll worry.

01:00:15That's the all clear.

01:00:18Well, I guess we better get back.

01:00:59I don't know, we've just been told to clear out of here.

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

01:01:25Where have you been?

01:01:25I told you to report.

01:01:26I wasn't able to get back, but what I want to know...

01:01:29Davidson, I discovered you went out with Lieutenant Sumners.

01:01:32I'm warning you, if there's a repetition of anything like this,

01:01:34I shall order you to pack up and recommend a dishonorable discharge.

01:01:38As a girl whose people have been in the army all their lives,

01:01:41you wouldn't want that to happen.

01:01:43No, I wouldn't.

01:01:45Thank you, Captain.

01:01:46Okay, then we'll forget the whole incident.

01:01:48Now, I have orders here to evacuate the hospital.

01:01:51We've got to be out by tonight so we can destroy the base.

01:01:53The demolition squad will be here in about eight hours,

01:01:55so that's how much time we've got.

01:01:57After the patients have been evacuated, you'd better get the surgery out.

01:02:00I'll take care of that.

01:02:04Hey, what are you doing out here?

01:02:06Come on, look out.

01:02:12Don't.

01:02:13They were out in the street.

01:02:14Thanks, Davey.

01:02:14Here, take her.

01:02:16Listen, I'm going to beat your brains out if you don't stay around here.

01:02:19I don't care what she has to do, you stay here.

01:02:21Now, mind.

01:02:25What's the matter with you?

01:02:26Do you want to kill us all?

01:02:27I've got some passengers for you.

01:02:28But I'm in a hurry.

01:02:29They're in a hurry, too.

01:02:30Get in there, fast.

01:02:33Here.

01:02:34Now, you take care of your sister.

01:02:35Take it easy, Stevie.

01:02:37Is this Superman?

01:02:38He'd better be.

01:02:39Go on, on your way, toots.

01:02:41On your way.

01:02:46We've been ordered to evacuate.

01:02:47We've got to get the surgery to Little Bag Hill.

01:02:49They can't leave yet.

01:02:50There are more cases I know I can save.

01:02:52But we've been ordered.

01:02:53I know, but I must have a little more time.

01:02:56All right, we're ready.

01:03:02Hey, kids, see you in the other car.

01:03:04All right.

01:03:06I think we'd better be getting along, Lieutenant.

01:03:08I guess this is about it.

01:03:09We've heard some rifle fire not so very far back.

01:03:10The demolition squad isn't even here.

01:03:13Sounds like a Jap patrol has infiltrated through.

01:03:15Come on, girls, get in.

01:03:16Hurry up.

01:03:17I forgot something.

01:03:17I'll be right back.

01:03:18No.

01:03:18They're in the other car.

01:03:19Hurry up.

01:03:19They're getting in.

01:03:20Come on, girls.

01:03:20Hurry up.

01:03:21Hurry up.

01:03:22Hurry up.

01:03:22Come on, girl. Get in. Hurry up.

01:03:24I forgot something. I'll be right back.

01:03:25No, Joe. Come back here. You haven't time.

01:03:27Let's get started.

01:03:28She'll be back in a minute.

01:03:29Joe!

01:03:34Joe!

01:03:36Come on, Joe. Hurry it up.

01:03:38We gotta get going.

01:03:39Come on.

01:03:47Get in the house. Come on.

01:03:49Hurry up.

01:03:52Come on.

01:04:00Let him in.

01:04:01Close the door and put the light out.

01:04:06I'm sorry.

01:04:07Never mind that now. Get down low, all of you.

01:04:13He's dead.

01:04:17Do you think they'll send someone for us?

01:04:19Of course they will.

01:04:20What are we gonna do?

01:04:21We'll get out of this somehow.

01:04:22I know what I'm gonna do.

01:04:24If somebody doesn't come, we'd better all kill ourselves.

01:04:27But why? Somebody's coming. Davy said somebody's coming.

01:04:29I was in Nanking.

01:04:31I saw what happened to the women there.

01:04:33Keep quiet.

01:04:34When the Red Cross protested, the Japanese called it

01:04:36the privilege of serving His Imperial Majesty's troops.

01:04:39It's an honor. An honor you'd die for.

01:04:41Stop that nonsense. Do you hear?

01:04:43I've seen them fight over a woman like dogs.

01:04:45Stop it.

01:04:52Here's a grenade. Maybe we could get them if we...

01:04:55Here, give me that.

01:04:56If we threw a grenade in the mist, it would mean sure death for all of us.

01:04:59We might kill one...

01:05:00Stop talking about killing.

01:05:01Look, I want you all to stay here.

01:05:04I'm going out to start that truck.

01:05:06As soon as you hear the motor running, make a dash for it.

01:05:08It's our only chance.

01:05:13Now, don't be frightened.

01:05:14I'm gonna throw this grenade in the opposite direction

01:05:16and try to divert their attention.

01:05:18Don't go, Davy. Don't go.

01:05:19Go on.

01:05:31One, two, three, four...

01:05:49One, two, three...

01:06:19Olivia.

01:06:28Olivia, come back here.

01:06:29What do you mean?

01:06:30Come here.

01:06:40Olivia.

01:06:45Come on, Davy.

01:06:46Thanks for everything.

01:06:48Get back in the surgery.

01:06:50No, it's our only chance.

01:06:52We can't get through.

01:06:54It's one of us or all of us.

01:06:58Throw it away.

01:06:59It's too late.

01:07:01Goodbye, Davy.

01:07:06Oh, no.

01:07:07Olivia.

01:07:10Olivia.

01:07:11Olivia.

01:07:18Olivia.

01:07:38Out! Everybody out! Hurry!

01:07:48Out!

01:07:58After a nerve-wracking trip through the jungle,

01:08:00we arrived at our new base, the Jungle Hospital,

01:08:03which was officially known as Hospital Kilometer 163.5.

01:08:08But it was no hospital at all.

01:08:10It was just jungle.

01:08:12The beds were placed under canvases,

01:08:14which kept the sun off the more serious cases.

01:08:16But it was so overcrowded that many of the beds

01:08:18were just placed out under the trees,

01:08:20which at least kept them hidden from the Jap planes.

01:08:2319 wards were set up in this way.

01:08:26Each ward had a capacity of 200 or 300 patients,

01:08:29and this was increased until we had between 5,000 and 8,000 of them.

01:08:34Most of the patients began to be not wounded,

01:08:37but men coming down with malaria and dysentery.

01:08:40A little one-cylinder engine

01:08:42provided the electricity for the main operating room,

01:08:45which was just a tent,

01:08:47and we sterilized our instruments in three large garbage cans,

01:08:50one with soapy water and two with boiling water.

01:08:53We kept washing and re-washing the dressings after they'd been used.

01:08:57In our flight from Lamai,

01:08:59Rosemary had received a nasty gash on the forehead,

01:09:02but under the healing hands of Jose,

01:09:04she escaped with only a slight scar.

01:09:08And as the weeks went by, we were so busy,

01:09:10we had no time to think about what happened to Olivia,

01:09:13and even Joan seemed to be convinced eventually that it wasn't her fault.

01:09:17We were among the first to use powdered sulfanilamide on open wounds.

01:09:21It worked wonders.

01:09:23We called ourselves the battling orphans of Bataan,

01:09:26no father, no mother, no Uncle Sam,

01:09:28as we wondered where the reinforcements were.

01:09:31But even so, we continued to hope.

01:09:34Some of us got malaria too,

01:09:36fevers of 104 and 105,

01:09:38but there was no time for coddling.

01:09:40The soldiers were the patients.

01:09:42How are you, Irma?

01:09:44I'm all right.

01:09:46Here, take your quinine.

01:09:47There isn't time.

01:09:48Take time.

01:09:50Come on.

01:09:55Here, take some water.

01:10:00Guess I better take some too.

01:10:02I don't know which is the worst.

01:10:06Oh!

01:10:08Davy was in charge of the jungle hospital

01:10:10as McGregor had her headquarters at Little Baggio,

01:10:13which was another base about four kilometers away.

01:10:16She had thrown herself into her work with John constantly on her mind,

01:10:20although one never would have known it.

01:10:22The only contact between them was a little monkey

01:10:24John had sent one day by a wounded soldier.

01:10:27He quickly became the pet of the company.

01:10:31We called him Tojo

01:10:33because they looked so much alike.

01:10:36Give me those.

01:10:48Hey, did you hear the news?

01:10:50Supplies and reinforcements.

01:10:52There's a big convoy on the way.

01:10:54I can't wait to see what happens.

01:10:58Friends, I want you to meet my own private little army.

01:11:01These guys' names are Joe.

01:11:03Me, Joe, too. Me, Joe, too.

01:11:06Incidentally, these babies are the sweetest little fighters

01:11:09you've ever seen in action.

01:11:10Me, Joe, too. Him, Joe, too.

01:11:12Yeah, me, Joe, too.

01:11:14You know, to support, I got some mail for all of you.

01:11:22Hey, look what I got.

01:11:24Hey, look what I got.

01:11:26This big box is for you, Rosemary.

01:11:31Oh, I bet it's the cake.

01:11:33Remember the cake we had in the boat?

01:11:34You're the only one that remembers it.

01:11:38Okay, Joe, see if you can find yourself some chow.

01:11:44Hello.

01:11:45Hi.

01:11:46You big bum.

01:11:47You always say what I expect.

01:11:49Isn't that nice?

01:11:50Yeah.

01:11:51Say, what are you doing here anyway?

01:11:52Oh, I got some mail for you.

01:11:53Oh, thanks, pal.

01:11:57They're open.

01:11:59I guess those censors must have run out of glue.

01:12:02Hans, have you been reading my mail?

01:12:04Well, I had to read myself to sleep, didn't I?

01:12:06You don't want to deprive me of my sleep, do you?

01:12:09Anyway, I didn't read all of them.

01:12:11Very dull, most of them. Very dull.

01:12:14Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

01:12:16Except this Dr. O'Leary.

01:12:19He's rather a cute guy, ain't he?

01:12:20He is.

01:12:21He writes with that real literary style.

01:12:26What's he to you?

01:12:27Well, since you read them, dear, you ought to know.

01:12:35If it's a cake, I hope it's chocolate.

01:12:39Oh, a hat.

01:12:40Who can eat a hat?

01:12:42I don't care what it looks good enough to eat.

01:12:44Say, is there any mail for me?

01:12:46Isn't it wonderful?

01:12:48Well, it's pretty cute.

01:12:49A little impractical.

01:12:50No, I mean the news.

01:12:51What news?

01:12:52There's a convoy, Davy.

01:12:55Oh, are you sure? Who told you?

01:12:57Kansas just came back from Cebu with the news.

01:12:59Yeah, and that hat.

01:13:00We're going to celebrate.

01:13:01Davy, may I speak to you for a minute?

01:13:07I thought you'd like to know,

01:13:08Mom McGregor's son's been wounded.

01:13:10He's here.

01:13:11Serious?

01:13:12I haven't seen him. I was just told he was here.

01:13:14Thanks, Emma.

01:13:15It's tough on the old battle-axe only boy, isn't he?

01:13:17Yeah, I think I'd better phone her.

01:13:20Okay.

01:13:32Davy.

01:13:33Davy.

01:13:39I told you I'd be back.

01:13:41Oh, for a minute I thought I was hearing voices.

01:13:45How long are you going to be here?

01:13:46Until morning.

01:13:47How are you, darling?

01:13:50You look pretty tired.

01:13:52I'm sort of glad there aren't 25 hours in the day.

01:13:55The news is wonderful, though, isn't it?

01:13:57Wonderful.

01:13:58I came over with Mom. How's the boy?

01:14:02His legs have been amputated.

01:14:04Both of them?

01:14:06There's nothing else they could do.

01:14:09Here she is.

01:14:12He's been calling for you.

01:14:14How is he?

01:14:19He's fine.

01:14:36Hello, son.

01:14:40Hello, Mother.

01:14:41How do you feel?

01:14:44I'm going to be all right.

01:14:46I'm afraid I'm going to waste an $18,000 pilot

01:14:49getting wounded with the infantry.

01:14:53A pain in my toes.

01:14:56I got a terrible cramp, I guess.

01:15:02No, not that one, Mother. The other one.

01:15:04Oh, darling.

01:15:07What's the matter?

01:15:09Hey, what's the matter, Ma?

01:15:10Lie down, dear. Lie down.

01:15:12No, I want to see. I want to...

01:15:14Ma, my legs. Where's my legs?

01:15:17Ma, they promised me.

01:15:19They've taken away my legs.

01:15:21Oh, dear darling.

01:15:22No, no, no.

01:15:36Are you all right?

01:15:38Yes.

01:15:40For a minute I thought I was going to be sick.

01:15:43And only on the clothes.

01:15:50I'm horrible, I know that.

01:15:52All the time I just kept thinking of you.

01:15:55Hey, take it easy.

01:15:56Nothing's going to happen to me.

01:16:13Ma.

01:16:26Nurse, Miss Davidson.

01:16:35Ma.

01:16:43Ma.

01:16:51Oh, sovereign Lord,

01:16:54who desireth not the death of a sinner,

01:16:58we beseech thee to loose the spirit of this, thy servant,

01:17:03and set him free from all evil,

01:17:08that he may rest with all thy saints

01:17:12in eternal remedy.

01:17:15Do you want a drink of water?

01:17:17No, thank you, baby.

01:17:19Oh, lie down for a moment.

01:17:21No, it's all over.

01:17:25He never saw his father,

01:17:27and his son will never see him.

01:17:31He has a child?

01:17:33Three months old.

01:17:35It's a pattern that will go on, I suppose,

01:17:38till we do make the world a decent place to live in.

01:17:49Well, I guess we can go now.

01:17:52Thank you, baby.

01:17:53I'm glad you called me so I could be here.

01:17:56I can't say anything, Ma.

01:17:59What can you say? What can I say?

01:18:02I bore a son and he's dead.

01:18:04I bore a son, a healthy, muscular child,

01:18:07who was a good son.

01:18:09It used to break my heart just to look at him.

01:18:11He was so beautiful.

01:18:13The handsomest son in the world.

01:18:16And now I have no heart to break.

01:18:20Like his father, he died for what he knew was right.

01:18:24He was right.

01:18:26My son and his father.

01:18:28And this time, if we don't make it right,

01:18:31if we don't make it right,

01:18:33my son and his father and all our dead

01:18:36will rise up and destroy us.

01:18:54I'm sending McGregor to Corregidor.

01:18:57So I want you and your staff to report to Little Baggio in the morning.

01:19:01Take over in her place.

01:19:03Yes, sir.

01:19:04Do you know if there are any nurses coming on the convoy?

01:19:07What convoy?

01:19:10What convoy? The one we've been celebrating all day.

01:19:13There isn't any convoy.

01:19:15It's been sunk.

01:19:17There have been desperate measures taken to get others through to us.

01:19:21But only a few small vessels have succeeded.

01:19:24Not enough to mean much.

01:19:28Is it as bad as all that?

01:19:32MacArthur left tonight.

01:19:36Left Bataan?

01:19:38He was ordered off. He's gone to Australia.

01:19:41But why?

01:19:43Because he's needed more there than he is here, I guess.

01:19:46He didn't want to go.

01:19:50Maybe I'd better tell the others.

01:19:52No. Don't do anything about it.

01:19:56A good evening of relaxation might help.

01:19:59What they don't know won't hurt them.

01:20:03No, I suppose not.

01:20:05Especially when what they do know does.

01:20:10Good night, Janet.

01:20:12Good night, sir.

01:20:25Little Baggio, which was another hospital base, was high up in the Maravelis Mountains.

01:20:30It had been bombed some days before we arrived.

01:20:33The emperor himself apologized for the bombing.

01:20:36So sorry.

01:20:38When we got there, Davy made us make a huge cross with tarpaulins in front of the wards.

01:20:43She gave them the benefit of the doubt, though even she didn't doubt.

01:20:47Do you think this will do any good, Davy?

01:20:49I don't know. Perhaps we're only providing them with an easier target.

01:20:54I don't know whether that's an air raid warning or a mess.

01:20:57Either way, it's a warning.

01:20:59Come on, kids. Let's go eat our swaps.

01:21:07What's the matter? What's the matter, Ethel?

01:21:09Oh, I'm all right.

01:21:11Too much rich food, I guess.

01:21:13But who's in the children's ward?

01:21:15Joan. She said she didn't mind doing my shoot.

01:21:17Oh, come on. You need some rest.

01:21:19I'll take care of her.

01:21:20Thanks, Paris.

01:21:23I don't know how she does it.

01:21:25Who?

01:21:26Joan. She doesn't ever seem to get any sleep.

01:21:28I've never seen anybody do so much.

01:21:31I'm worried about her. Something seems to be driving her on.

01:21:35Go over and give her a hand, will you, Sadie? I'll relieve you later.

01:21:45That's really hitting below the belt.

01:21:53Amy! Amy!

01:22:05What happened to her?

01:22:06She made it.

01:22:07Oh, I warned her.

01:22:09Joan. Joan.

01:22:14No, no, no, no. You stay down there now.

01:22:16Sadie will take over.

01:22:17Nobody's going to take over from me. I feel fine now.

01:22:20Oh, Joan, don't.

01:22:22You just need some sleep. That's what's wrong with you.

01:22:24I can't sleep.

01:22:25Well, maybe you can try.

01:22:27I can't. I don't want to sleep. All I do is dream about living.

01:22:32Now, Joan, you must forget that. That wasn't your fault.

01:22:35I know it was nobody's fault, but that's not it.

01:22:37Don't you understand? I've got to do what she'd have done, too.

01:22:40But that's not the point.

01:22:42I know what the point is.

01:22:44When we joined the Army, I don't know about the rest of you,

01:22:46but I had a feeling that we might be in a war,

01:22:48and I don't want to feel when this is over that maybe I could have done more.

01:22:51Maybe I was trying to do too much.

01:22:53What do we swear to when we join the Red Cross? Do you remember?

01:22:56I solemnly pledge myself before God that I'll devote myself

01:22:59to the welfare of those committed to my care.

01:23:01And I didn't say how many or how much.

01:23:04Joan, that's the way we all feel.

01:23:06Maybe we do a lot of grousing sometimes,

01:23:09but that's one of the privileges we're fighting for.

01:23:11Now, all I ask you to do is lie down for an hour or so,

01:23:15and then you can do whatever you want.

01:23:17Thanks. That's all I want in my own way.

01:23:20Yeah, come on.

01:23:24Now, you lie down here for a little while.

01:23:26Oh, thanks, Davy. I feel better.

01:23:32You know, that's the first time in my life I've ever fainted.

01:23:35Before the war, many's the time I could have used a good faint,

01:23:38but the guys I know would have thought it was a phony I wasn't taking any chances.

01:23:42Uh-oh, there's my dream hero. Davy, don't say anything.

01:23:45No, I won't.

01:23:46Now, what are you doing down here again?

01:23:49Kansas, what's wrong?

01:23:53We're getting the pants beat off us.

01:23:56You're not quitting Kansas.

01:23:58No, we're just making what's known as a strategic withdrawal.

01:24:01Well, Kansas, how bad is it?

01:24:05The whole front line's collapsed.

01:24:07Oh.

01:24:12That bandage is filthy. Come on in, Kansas. I'll change it for you.

01:24:16Look, uh, I know how short you must be, but have you got anything to eat?

01:24:21Yes, I've got some nice southern fried monkey for you.

01:24:25With ketchup?

01:24:27No, with chili sauce.

01:24:34I'm sorry to interrupt, Colonel.

01:24:36What is it, Janet?

01:24:37I just heard that the front line's collapsed.

01:24:39Well, you know there are lots of rumors. Thousands of them going around.

01:24:42I don't think this is a rumor.

01:24:45Well, what do you want?

01:24:47You've got to get those girls out.

01:24:49There's to be no evacuation in Bataan.

01:24:51But you've got to. They're sick, every one of them.

01:24:54They're only going through the motions.

01:24:57Give them a rest so they can work.

01:24:59You're doing more for morale than anything else in this sector.

01:25:01Just seeing you girls around is almost enough.

01:25:03If I were to evacuate you now, can't you understand the panic that would develop?

01:25:06I know, Colonel.

01:25:07It's the very thing the Japs would want.

01:25:09If you leave, the civilians would leave.

01:25:11Women and children would clog the roads.

01:25:13And there's a desperate battle going on.

01:25:16I'm sorry. Of course you're right.

01:25:18Don't worry, Janet.

01:25:20When the time comes, I'll get you out.

01:25:22Otherwise, I'd never be able to look my wife or any other woman in the face again.

01:25:28I don't envy you, Colonel.

01:25:42Oh, God, no!

01:26:02Put them down! Get them under the bed!

01:26:12Never mind, Jose. Tell me where the children's hands are.

01:26:16Spudge.

01:26:21Rosemary, take cover. I can do this all right.

01:26:24I'm not frightened any longer, Jose.

01:26:41Come on! Come over here!

01:27:11Get out of there!

01:27:35Sniffer! Sniffer bearers!

01:27:38Come on!

01:27:56What is it?

01:27:57It's a leg wound. Lieutenant Summers.

01:28:01I'll tell Davy.

01:28:07Lieutenant Summers has been wounded.

01:28:09What is it?

01:28:10A leg wound.

01:28:11Thank you, Chaplain.

01:28:19The machine gunner! They're strafing!

01:28:21Beast of slimy beasts!

01:28:34Chaplain!

01:28:38Ah, they've finished the operation for me.

01:28:46Rosemary!

01:28:48Rosemary!

01:28:58It's the surgery.

01:29:00Rosemary, here, take this.

01:29:04Come back!

01:29:07Rosemary!

01:29:25Rosemary!

01:29:26Don't go in there!

01:29:29Let it burn!

01:29:31Your hand, Davy! Your hand!

01:29:42How is he, Chief?

01:29:43His temperature is rising and the wound looks bad.

01:29:45The fragment should be removed immediately.

01:29:48There isn't time. We've been ordered off.

01:29:50Ordered off?

01:29:51To Corregidor.

01:29:53Chief, get him into a truck.

01:29:54I have to report to the Colonel.

01:29:56I'll go with you.

01:29:57Litter!

01:30:06I've got everyone, sir. We're ready to leave.

01:30:08Good.

01:30:10Goodbye, Janet.

01:30:11Aren't you coming?

01:30:12No, I'm not.

01:30:13But your orders!

01:30:14Your orders have just come through.

01:30:16Have we surrendered?

01:30:18We'll surrender at nine in the morning.

01:30:20I'll go with you.

01:30:21No, you stay here.

01:30:22I'll go with you.

01:30:23No, you stay here.

01:30:24I'll go with you.

01:30:25We'll surrender at nine in the morning.

01:30:28They haven't got us off yet.

01:30:30I think it's the demolition squads blowing up our dumps.

01:30:32Come on, you'd better go.

01:30:38Joan, have you seen Chief?

01:30:39No, I haven't. I don't think he's left yet.

01:30:41You haven't time, Janet.

01:30:43Janet, do one thing for me.

01:30:44See that those girls get through to the rock.

01:30:46Yes, sir. We'll get through.

01:30:48So long.

01:30:49Good luck.

01:30:56But before we reached the main road,

01:30:58everybody heard the news.

01:31:00Panic developed and the roads were jammed.

01:31:02Normally, it took two hours to get to Maravelis.

01:31:05That day, it took eight.

01:31:07And the Jap reconnaissance saw what was happening,

01:31:09so by the time we got there,

01:31:11it was being bombed and shelled without mercy.

01:31:26Hurry up. Get into the tunnel.

01:31:28Save me.

01:31:29Oh, thank God you got through.

01:31:31Did you pass T on the road?

01:31:33Where are the children?

01:31:34Kansas found a shelter for them.

01:31:36Get down, everybody.

01:31:44Get in it. Come on.

01:31:56Listen, we still have a few minutes.

01:31:58Keep under cover.

01:32:00If I'm not back, get down to the wharf

01:32:02as soon as you hear the boat whistle.

01:32:08Neng Chee!

01:32:10Neng Chee!

01:32:12Neng Chee!

01:32:16Neng Chee!

01:32:21Hurry up.

01:32:26Oh, I've got to get some sleep.

01:32:28I'm so bomb happy, nothing else matters.

01:32:32Stay here.

01:32:33But I thought you said I could have one shot.

01:32:35Later on.

01:32:36You can detail the watch over your little sister.

01:32:44Hello.

01:32:45Hi, Kansas.

01:32:46I can't believe it.

01:32:47I just can't believe it.

01:32:49What?

01:32:50The Marines, they have landed.

01:32:52They've been ordered off.

01:32:54Oh, but it's not permanent.

01:32:55It's not the end of the fight.

01:32:57Yeah, but imagine having to us, Americans.

01:32:59All right, all out, everybody.

01:33:01Oh, we've been out on our feet before.

01:33:03Remember Valley Forge?

01:33:04That was no strawberry festival.

01:33:06Come on, kids, let's go.

01:33:13So long.

01:33:14What do you mean, so long?

01:33:15I've got to get the other kids.

01:33:16Well, I'll have two then.

01:33:25Yep.

01:33:28How soon are you pulling out?

01:33:29Now.

01:33:30Well, I'll get the next boat.

01:33:31There isn't going to be any next boat.

01:33:33Well, go ahead then.

01:33:34Come on.

01:33:35Go!

01:33:53Do you have John?

01:33:54Yes, in the tunnel.

01:33:55I have a doctor.

01:33:59John.

01:34:03Where are the others?

01:34:04You better go.

01:34:05There's plenty of time.

01:34:07All right, I'm ready.

01:34:24We'll have to go in for that bomb fragment.

01:34:25It may become infected.

01:34:27That's not likely.

01:34:28It's probably a piece of good American steel.

01:34:32All right, nurse.

01:34:33Oh.

01:34:34Will you help?

01:34:35If I can.

01:34:38Sorry we have no anesthetic here, eh?

01:34:40Is it out of order if we hold hands?

01:34:43No.

01:34:44Go ahead.

01:34:54It's all right, darling.

01:34:56It's all right.

01:34:58I think I've located it.

01:34:59Well, I'll have another try.

01:35:01Now, this may hurt.

01:35:02Sounds just like a dentist.

01:35:05Darling, no matter what happens, promise me you won't let them...

01:35:07No, I know I won't.

01:35:08Yeah.

01:35:11Just hold on, Lieutenant.

01:35:12Try to think of something else.

01:35:14I am.

01:35:15Ham and eggs.

01:35:18Hotcakes.

01:35:20White bread.

01:35:22Coffee.

01:35:23Here it comes now.

01:35:24Hold on.

01:35:32It's all right, doctor.

01:35:33Go right ahead.

01:35:34He's fainted.

01:35:41Get in.

01:35:42Go ahead, kids, up front.

01:35:43Go ahead.

01:35:44Hurry up.

01:35:45They can't understand a word you're saying.

01:35:46I know, but they know what I'm feeling.

01:35:49Well, so long.

01:35:50What do you mean, so long?

01:35:51Aren't you coming?

01:35:52No.

01:35:53Oh, you're gonna be a hero.

01:35:54Yeah.

01:35:55Okay, you win.

01:35:56Shut your eyes.

01:35:57What for?

01:35:58Because I'm gonna kiss you goodbye.

01:36:00Oh.

01:36:02Oh.

01:36:32I have a boat hidden right here.

01:36:53Hey, Captain.

01:36:54Yes, hurry up.

01:36:55Give me a...

01:36:58Hey, any room?

01:36:59Sorry, soldier, but one more would swamp us.

01:37:01Can you swim?

01:37:02A bit.

01:37:03Well, hang on and kick.

01:37:04Thanks, lady.

01:37:19Are you holding on, soldier?

01:37:21Still twitching.

01:37:23Now.

01:37:32Here's old Corregidor, answering the band.

01:37:36You're still with us, soldier?

01:37:48Why don't you take one minute's rest?

01:37:50I can't.

01:37:51No, I can use it, too.

01:38:02Look at those lights.

01:38:04It's so regular, it seems like a message.

01:38:09It is a message.

01:38:11Three dots, three dashes, three dots.

01:38:15S.O.S.

01:38:17S.O.S.

01:38:32And then Corregidor.

01:38:34It spells safety for us because everyone called it the Gibraltar of the Pacific.

01:38:38Especially so since the army engineers had dug a series of tunnels

01:38:41down under 400 feet of solid rock.

01:38:44The main tunnel was called Malinta.

01:38:47This was about 1,000 feet long.

01:38:49And in peacetime, trolleys ran through it.

01:38:52There were about 40 laterals off the main tunnel.

01:38:55The one in which we were to spend most of our time was called the hospital lateral.

01:38:59Here, the wounded were piled up in double and triple-decker beds.

01:39:04Another was our quarters.

01:39:06There were about 25 nurses there when we arrived.

01:39:09With us, the total came to 88 Americans, plus many more Filipino nurses.

01:39:13Here, for the first time in months, we had a chance to wash the geps out of our hair.

01:39:18For a few days, we were even able to get outside the hospital tunnel for a little fresh air.

01:39:24And then they started.

01:39:26They plastered us, but good.

01:39:28Constantly.

01:39:31As they stepped up their tempo, things got tougher and tougher.

01:39:34The thunder of the dive bombers was incessant.

01:39:37The noise almost split our eardrums.

01:39:40The old story, too little food, dwindling ammunition,

01:39:44too many people and too many wounded.

01:39:47Gradually, Corregidor felt like and became a prison.

01:39:50And though everything else was giving out,

01:39:52we thanked God for the blood plasma the Red Cross had supplied us with.

01:39:58Occasionally, between bombings,

01:40:00we went outside and took our chances on a shell rather than suffocation.

01:40:04We listened hopefully for news of home,

01:40:06but the geps jammed everything except the commercials advertising food.

01:40:10Delicious salad with whatever you have at hand.

01:40:12Pineapples, strawberries, or any of the plentiful fruits of the forest.

01:40:16Cool, deliciously in your icebox.

01:40:18It will bring sunny California to your home.

01:40:20Shut that thing off.

01:40:25What, no dive bombers?

01:40:27Oh, it's not time. They're still out to lunch.

01:40:31There's no quinine left.

01:40:34Well, what are we going to do?

01:40:36Nurse, what do you think we're going to do?

01:40:38They can take us off. Why are we here anyway?

01:40:41I don't know.

01:40:43They can take us off. Why are we here anyway?

01:40:46Why? Why isn't there any quinine?

01:40:49Why isn't there any food? Why aren't there any supplies?

01:40:52Why are we waiting here like rats in a cage,

01:40:54waiting for the man to come and pour scalding water over us?

01:40:58Why was nothing done? Why?

01:41:00Take it easy, Dee.

01:41:02I'll tell you why. It's our own fault.

01:41:04Our fault? What did we do?

01:41:06Because we believed we were the world.

01:41:08That the United States of America was the whole world.

01:41:11Those outlandish places, Bataan, Corregidor, Mindanao,

01:41:15those aren't American names.

01:41:18No, they're just American graveyards.

01:41:21Well, why don't they get us off?

01:41:23They can't get us off.

01:41:25We've become what they call a delaying action.

01:41:28That's what those 50,000 men over there were.

01:41:30They were merely saving time.

01:41:33I hope to God the people back home aren't losing it for us.

01:41:36Do you remember what the chaplain once told us?

01:41:39It's our present. We're giving them time.

01:41:44Well, they're always on time anyway.

01:41:48Everybody in the house!

01:42:03I can't stand it anymore! I can't! I want to get out of here!

01:42:07I want to get out of here!

01:42:19Feeling better, Toni?

01:42:20Much thanks. I'm sorry I blew up yesterday.

01:42:23Guess I had a case of the heebie-jeebies.

01:42:25Don't worry about it.

01:42:26Those little outbursts are about the only cold showers we get around here.

01:42:29Maybe you could use one.

01:42:31What do you think I was doing yesterday when I shot my mouth off?

01:42:34I feel better, too.

01:42:38Hello, Mom.

01:42:39What you got there?

01:42:41My grandson.

01:42:42Oh, he's cute.

01:42:45He looks just like...

01:42:47Yes, he does.

01:42:48Particularly at that age.

01:42:52That's what I have to live for.

01:42:55Janet, can I speak to you a minute?

01:42:57What are you doing down here? We discharged you a week ago.

01:43:00I thought you knew I was your permanent patient.

01:43:02What is it, darling?

01:43:03I just wanted to say goodbye for a few days.

01:43:06What are you talking about?

01:43:08Well, we sort of made up a little party,

01:43:10and we're going down around Mindanao to see if we can find some quinine.

01:43:13You can't go.

01:43:15Why not?

01:43:16Your leg, you're still too weak.

01:43:18I'm no weaker than the rest.

01:43:20John, you're not well yet.

01:43:21It'll all be a lot worse if we don't get some supplies.

01:43:27When do you have to go?

01:43:29We leave at five in the morning.

01:43:31That's nine long hours from now.

01:43:40Ma, I want you to know I'm going to break a regulation.

01:43:44Is that something new with you?

01:43:48But I'm really going to smash one this time.

01:43:51I'm going to get married.

01:43:56To him?

01:44:01I'll get Chaplain Frank. Can we get married here, Ma?

01:44:03No, I don't know about this officially.

01:44:06Better not in the tunnels.

01:44:08I know the bakery.

01:44:09You're still standing, and they've a light there.

01:44:11In the meantime, I'll get dressed.

01:44:13Dressed into what?

01:44:15Maybe we can fix up one of your skirts.

01:44:17Just so the whole thing isn't too confusing.

01:44:25Dear God,

01:44:27we have none of the things which are usually used

01:44:30to solemnize marriage in this one,

01:44:33except the thing that you prize most,

01:44:36sincerity of heart,

01:44:38amid all the boiling hatred,

01:44:41both righteous and unrighteous.

01:44:46Two of your servants, Lord, have found love

01:44:49and desire to be wed in thine eyes.

01:44:52Help me, O Lord, to consecrate this marriage.

01:45:01And now,

01:45:04John,

01:45:06wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife

01:45:09to have and to hold?

01:45:11Wilt thou love her, honor her, comfort her

01:45:14in sickness and in health,

01:45:16and, forsaking all others,

01:45:19keep her till death do you part?

01:45:23I will.

01:45:26Janet,

01:45:29wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband

01:45:34to have and to hold?

01:45:41I will.

01:45:45I then pronounce you man and wife.

01:45:49God bless you both.

01:45:53That's... that's where you kiss, kid.

01:45:59Okay, break it up.

01:46:03Here's your wedding present.

01:46:05It's the best I could do.

01:46:07A bottle of wine.

01:46:08Where did you get that?

01:46:10The general. I told him I needed to get drunk,

01:46:12and he was so surprised he gave it to me.

01:46:14Some peanut butter and bread.

01:46:16A wonderful present.

01:46:20This bit of jade.

01:46:22It's some 2,000 years old.

01:46:24Keep it,

01:46:26for there are three wishes that go with it.

01:46:29Good luck, long life,

01:46:32and an abundance of children.

01:46:35Thank you, Chief. Thanks for everything.

01:46:37I have nothing to offer except a bit of gum.

01:46:40We'll take it.

01:46:42Now go ahead and have your honeymoon.

01:46:45Thank you. Thank you, Chaplain.

01:46:47God bless you both.

01:46:49Good night.

01:46:51Peanut butter. I wonder if...

01:46:53No, leave them alone.

01:46:55Come with me and I'll see if I can dig some up for you.

01:46:57Good.

01:47:04I'm not going to eat any more. I'm going to save some.

01:47:07Not me. This isn't the kind of wedding cake

01:47:09you put under your pillow and sleep on.

01:47:12The stars look like streetlights.

01:47:14They are.

01:47:16Haven't you ever been to the Rainbow Room before?

01:47:18That's the street below us.

01:47:20Oh. Oh.

01:47:23I guess marrying you has changed my perspective completely.

01:47:26It's probably the wine.

01:47:29I thought you were going to take me to a dingy little French restaurant.

01:47:32This is pretty classy.

01:47:34Holy cats, you remember everything I say.

01:47:37I take you very seriously.

01:47:43What is it, darling?

01:47:47Did I ever tell you about my place in the country?

01:47:49No.

01:47:52No, I don't know anything about you, really.

01:47:56I don't even know if you have a middle name.

01:47:59I have. It's Mattathias.

01:48:02Oh, why?

01:48:04An uncle. He left me this little farm I was telling you about.

01:48:07It's quite worth it.

01:48:09Is it?

01:48:11Yes, and you'll love it.

01:48:14Time will come when you and I will go out on a summer evening

01:48:17and the grass is fresh,

01:48:19the clouds white as if they'd just been washed,

01:48:22the earth's warm and still.

01:48:25Time passes quietly.

01:48:28Everything's simple.

01:48:30Just you and me and the kids.

01:48:32Sons?

01:48:34Daughters. They're more decorative.

01:48:36Let's get out of here and go home.

01:48:40Home.

01:48:46I remember a poet somewhere.

01:48:49He said home is the place where,

01:48:52when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

01:48:56You want to know something?

01:48:58What?

01:49:00I'm not afraid any longer.

01:49:18Darling.

01:49:20Darling.

01:49:22It's time to get up.

01:49:24It's time to get up and go to work.

01:49:27You've only got five minutes.

01:49:34Fine time to go to sleep on our honeymoon.

01:49:37It was a wonderful honeymoon.

01:49:41Here, finish that up.

01:49:43No, you.

01:49:44Go ahead.

01:49:45As my grandmother used to say, it'll warm your stomach up.

01:49:48You, honey.

01:49:58To us.

01:50:11Here's your breakfast.

01:50:13Thank you.

01:50:21Lieutenant Summers.

01:50:23Yes, sir.

01:50:24I just want to wish you good luck.

01:50:26Thank you, sir.

01:50:32So long, Lieutenant.

01:50:34So long, Lieutenant.

01:50:36So long, David.

01:50:38Good luck, G.

01:50:40I'll take care of him.

01:50:42Don't worry, I will.

01:50:45Wait for me here. I'll be back.

01:50:49I'll be right here.

01:50:56Come on.

01:51:27What are you doing?

01:51:29This radio's on the blink again.

01:51:33What would you like better than anything else in the world?

01:51:36A tomato. I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:40A tomato and some flying fortresses.

01:51:42Wouldn't that make a lovely salad?

01:51:44Yeah.

01:51:45I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:48I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:51I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:53I'd give my left knee for a tomato.

01:51:55A tomato and a salad?

01:51:56Yeah.

01:51:57Why did you ask me, Kansas?

01:51:59Well, I got something for you.

01:52:01Oh.

01:52:02Chocolate.

01:52:03Oh gee, Kansas, that's swell of you.

01:52:07Where'd you get it?

01:52:09Well, a raiding pie of japs tried to land last night, and I got me a couple of them.

01:52:13And on one of them was-

01:52:15Kansas, how could you do a thing like that to me?

01:52:20I can't figure you dames out.

01:52:22Chocolate is chocolate.

01:52:24positively disgusting and don't fiddle with that you'll get a shock for me I

01:52:30know I get shocked look don't you ever say don't to me again

01:53:37$4,020 $80,000

01:53:41Say what goes on here? They're destroying money.

01:53:44Destroying money? That's the silliest thing I ever heard.

01:53:46We ought to notify the authorities or something.

01:53:48They are the authorities. They're from the finance department.

01:53:50First time I ever even saw enough money to burn.

01:53:54All the nurses are wanted in the mess hall.

01:53:56Not for food? Don't tell me.

01:53:58No, right away.

01:54:00$4,020 and $80,000

01:54:12Attention everybody please.

01:54:16Colonel Clark has something to tell you.

01:54:18Thank you Captain.

01:54:20At ease.

01:54:24This is a very serious occasion.

01:54:26It is not known how much longer Corregidor can hold out.

01:54:34I have here orders from headquarters.

01:54:36You nurses are to be evacuated tonight to Australia.

01:54:40You'll meet in front of the main hospital tunnel at 9 o'clock tonight.

01:54:44These orders are secret.

01:54:48I want you to know that in the name of General Wainwright and myself

01:54:52there are no words high enough to praise you all.

01:54:58Good luck.

01:55:06Captain.

01:55:10Oh look Ma, couldn't another one of the girls go in my place?

01:55:12I haven't any family in it.

01:55:14Ma, I just assumed...

01:55:16These are official orders.

01:55:18I know what you're all thinking.

01:55:20But the entire nurse corps has been ordered off.

01:55:22You girls just happen to be the first.

01:55:24You can pack one handbag or your musette.

01:55:26That's all.

01:55:28There's just one other thing.

01:55:30These orders must be kept secret.

01:55:32You're to tell no one.

01:55:34I'll see you later.

01:55:43What are you doing?

01:55:45Oh nothing, just painting a house.

01:55:47Oh.

01:56:00Irma.

01:56:02Yeah?

01:56:04Do you know anybody that could take a letter out to the States?

01:56:07It was to my mother.

01:56:09Yes, I think I know someone.

01:56:12I'll give it to him.

01:56:14Thanks pal.

01:56:42What?

01:56:44I've got to get some fresh air out.

01:56:46See you kids around.

01:56:58Here George.

01:57:00I found another fountain pen so you can have this one.

01:57:02Thanks Joanie.

01:57:08Here Joe.

01:57:10You've had your eye on this for some time.

01:57:12Okay Joe.

01:57:14Okay Joe.

01:57:18I know we're short of things to read here.

01:57:20I found some old love letters of mine.

01:57:23I'll just put them here so you have a kind of circulating library.

01:57:27They're pretty funny.

01:57:29Maybe they'll give you some laughs.

01:57:31Hey.

01:57:39Who's that?

01:57:41It's me Kansas.

01:57:43Hi kid.

01:57:46Can I talk to you for a minute?

01:57:48Sure.

01:57:50Keep an eye on the gun Chuck.

01:57:52Okay.

01:58:02We've been ordered off Kansas.

01:58:04I know it's all over the rock already.

01:58:08Well I came to say goodbye.

01:58:12Well I'm glad you did.

01:58:14Goodbye.

01:58:17If you don't wait for me I'll break your neck.

01:58:19I'll be sure you don't break yours.

01:58:24Give me a loan of your handkerchief will you?

01:58:27And stop your sniffling.

01:58:29Why don't you?

01:58:30You know I can't help it. It's a habit with me.

01:58:32Well I can't either.

01:58:36When you get back you should get some real ones.

01:58:39I used to get mine five and dimes.

01:58:42Big red ones. Remember?

01:58:44Bandanas.

01:58:45Cheap as what a place those five and dimes are.

01:58:47Everything in them. Huh?

01:58:49Yeah.

01:58:50You might send me a dozen of them when you get back.

01:58:54There Kansas.

01:58:55Yeah? What do you think?

01:58:57I'll be here till Tokyo freezes over.

01:59:01I suppose if we were to surrender that you'd be dumb enough not to.

01:59:06Yeah I'd be dumb that way.

01:59:08Oh Kansas.

01:59:16We should have been doing more of this in the campaign.

01:59:19You and your wanting to be pals.

01:59:21I thought you were just another guy on the make.

01:59:23I was.

01:59:28GM blade I made up for the Kansas.

01:59:31The blade has been all mine.

01:59:36You big limp.

01:59:41Well so long kid.

01:59:44I'll be seeing you.

01:59:46Goodbye and be careful. Don't get killed.

01:59:49Who me?

01:59:51I never get killed.

01:59:58Oh there you are Odoo.

02:00:03Well I guess that's everybody.

02:00:06Good luck to you children.

02:00:08All of you.

02:00:11Goodbye David.

02:00:13I'm not going.

02:00:15You're not going anywhere.

02:00:17I'm not going.

02:00:19I'm not going.

02:00:21I'm not going.

02:00:23I'm not going.

02:00:25I'm not going.

02:00:27You're not what?

02:00:28I'm not going. I never intended to.

02:00:30You heard the orders.

02:00:31Now I don't want any funny business. Get in that boat.

02:00:33No.

02:00:34Do you realize every moment of stalling here means that those planes in the harbor are in danger?

02:00:38That's not our artillery.

02:00:39I can't go. I promised I'd be here when he got back.

02:00:42He asked me to.

02:00:43Oh please Mama.

02:00:44I order you to go.

02:00:46I won't take orders.

02:00:47I'm not in the army anymore. When I married I broke regulations.

02:00:50It meant I was out.

02:00:51You can't make me go.

02:00:53You're talking like a hysterical schoolgirl.

02:00:55I'm going to be right here when he gets back.

02:00:58He won't be back.

02:01:00How do you know?

02:01:02Tell me how do you know?

02:01:03There's been no word at all.

02:01:05They considered them officially lost for a week.

02:01:07You're lying. You know you're lying. You're just saying.

02:01:09Would I lie about that David? Would I?

02:01:12No you wouldn't.

02:01:14I know he's still alive. He's out there somewhere. I can't go. I can't.

02:01:18Janet if he's alive he'll find you.

02:01:19Let me go. I'm not going.

02:01:21Let me go.

02:01:30David.

02:01:31Was she hit?

02:01:32No she's just stunned.

02:01:33Get her in the boat.

02:01:46She wasn't like the rest of us. She never gave way.

02:01:48But now everything snapped at once.

02:01:51When we got her on board the plane she never spoke again.

02:01:55Maybe we should have left her on Corregidor.

02:01:59What's happened would have happened some way or another.

02:02:01Thank you. Thank you all very much.

02:02:07Now I think maybe I can try to make her speak.

02:02:10To hear at least.

02:02:13Miss Davidson we're almost home.

02:02:15You hear me? We're almost home.

02:02:22Chair nurse.

02:02:25I have a letter for you.

02:02:43My darling.

02:02:45I'm writing this from Mindanao.

02:02:47We leave in the morning for an unknown destination.

02:02:50I write with no so-called premonitions.

02:02:53As a matter of fact I'm writing this in a pleasant little bar on the outskirts.

02:02:57I've ordered two daiquiris.

02:03:00One for you.

02:03:02And one for me.

02:03:05I miss you.

02:03:07I miss you all the time.

02:03:09I miss you all the time.

02:03:11It was such a short time, wasn't it?

02:03:14And yet I remember every second of it.

02:03:17From the moment you washed my back and I could use a good bath right now.

02:03:21To your face faded from view in the darkness when I left.

02:03:29I think about you all the time.

02:03:31And wish things were different.

02:03:33Things will be different.

02:03:36I know that now because there is good in this war.

02:03:39Much as I hate it.

02:03:41This is not just a war of soldiers.

02:03:44You weren't soldiers in the strict sense.

02:03:46You were just kids from all walks of life.

02:03:49All kinds of people.

02:03:52There's something new in this war.

02:03:54Something good.

02:03:56You could see it, this new thing.

02:03:58Even in their tired, hungry faces as they took courage one from another.

02:04:03This is not a people's war because civilians also get killed.

02:04:07It's the people's war because they have taken it over now.

02:04:10And are going to win it and end it with a purpose.

02:04:13To live like men with dignity and freedom.

02:04:16This is the good I've found.

02:04:19There's a small voice whispering around the earth.

02:04:22And the people are beginning to talk across their boundaries.

02:04:25This voice will grow in volume until it thunders all over the world.

02:04:29It's what you said and what Jose said and what Rosemary felt and Olivia.

02:04:34It's the rage that made Kansas cry.

02:04:36It says, this is our war now and this time it will be our peace.

02:04:44I'm proud.

02:04:46Proud to have known you.

02:04:48Proud to have received your love.

02:04:50Already I've had a complete rich life in three short months.

02:04:57I'm enclosing a deed at that little farm I told you about.

02:05:00It's now in your name.

02:05:03I'll wait for you there.

02:05:05Or if you're there first, wait for me.

02:05:09Thank you.

02:05:10Thank you, my darling, for my life.

02:05:13Thank you for everything.

02:05:16You're devoted.

02:05:18And this is the first time I've ever written it.

02:05:21You're a devoted husband.

02:05:24My darling.
