Mr. Jones.

Now what did I have to take you up for?

Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Hey, have you seen Mr. Jones?

Your Mr. Jones has gone.

Where, who'd he go with?

A woman from the North,

the one with yellow hair.

Even at a time like this.

Hello, Johnny.

Hello.

What's that?

It's a baby.

What'd you think it was, Donald Duck?

Drunk?

No.

So tired, almost at once he fell asleep.

Three days and three nights
we've been burning up the road

with him doing most of the driving.

Here, hold him.

Come on, he won't bite you.

Come on, give.

It's about right.

What's that for?

You'll be needing it.

All right.

Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Go away.

Come on, boss, wake up.

What's the matter Johnny,
the house pinched?

Look, Mr. Jones, let's scram outta here.

What's that?

Bombs, Mr. Jones, bombs.

They're bombing the town, killing people,

blowing the daylights out of all creation.

The jets.

If you wanna make the coast, let's go,

I got the truck outside.

It is a good thing what John is saying.

Go while there's still
a road left to drive on.

What's that?

A baby.

Since when?

No, just a friend of Johnny's.

I sort of found him.

Him, huh?

Yeah.

No, I mean,

holy smokes, Mr. Jones, I don't know yet.

Come on Johnny, let's show up.

Wanna come along?

No.

Things are getting pretty hot.

All the years I can remember,

I've been getting out of
places because they were hot.

This time I think I'll stay.

Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Yeah.

Somebody here to see you.

Mr. Jones?

Mr. David Jones?

Yeah.

I present the commerce
captain, Tao-Yuan-Kai,

Intelligence Department
of Chinese Sichuan Army.

Captain Tao would like to see you.

Well now, look, Mr.

I got business in the Shanghai.

I got no time for visiting.

Captain Tao would like to see you.

Okay.

Want me to come too, Boss?

No, you stay with the truck.

And Johnny.
- Yeah.

Ditch that kid.

Everything in order.

Yes it is.

And I regret Mr. Jones, that
you are an American citizen.

Because if you were one of my own people,

I would have to be shot
for aiding the enemy.

I can't do that, however,

because even though the
American people are not at war,

they are our friends.

Though sometime I think

it's a curious right and
left-handed friendship.

For one hand, they give
us food and medicines.

But with the other,
they permit men like you

to sell oil to the enemy,

for the planes to kill our
people and destroy our towns.

Mr. Jones, are you aware
that the Chinese people

are at war with Japan?

Oh I'd say you're at
war, that's your business.

Mine is selling oil.

If the Japs want it,
it's still my business.

With the prices they're
offering, it's good business.

Can you give me my passport,
I got places to go.

Can you give me some more
of that tripe rosseto?

That's all Mr. Jones,

all but trying to forget
that I haven't ever met you.

An Intelligence Department.

Who does that guy think he is?

Captain.

Captain.

That's the trouble with those guys.

You give 'em a dime a dozen education,

teach 'em to eat ham and eggs

and look what happens.

They think they are somebody.

It's raining.

Come one, get off of here.

Bombers.

Hear 'em?

Look ahead.

What's that?

Baby, Mr. Jones.

Must've waked up.

Come on.

Atta-boy.

I though I told you to get rid of it.

You ever tried to give
away a baby, Mr. Jones,

especially a Chinese baby?

I tried to but everybody
seems to have plenty of 'em.

Haven't they fellow, huh?

You hungry.

Yeah.

I got a surprise for you, yeah, I got it.

What are you feeding it?

Sugar.

It won't hurt it none.

I mean give it the
gripes or anything yeah.

Don't give him too much.

Oh, what are you asking me for?

Tough guy.

Oh, that's good, hey?

Good.

Better take it easy, Boss.

Nurse the baby, I'll do the driving.

Mr. Jones.

They'll get
outta the way all right,

I know what I'm doing.

You all right kid?

Oh, don't beat your brains in.

You woulda killed somebody.

What do you want?

Get outta here.

Hey, they quit.

Sure, with your speed and my wit,

they didn't have a chance.

You're wrong, Johnny,
somebody called them off.

What do we do now?

Better get in the truck
before they come back.

Put out those lights.

You there,

you in the truck, turn off those lights.

Didn't you hear me?

Yeah.

Well turn off the lights.

Lin Wei.

Yes, Miss.

Now what?

You stay right here and
wait for me 'til I get back.

And you wait too.

Who's the boss lady?

Very nice lady.

Yeah.

I got an idea, we're gonna wait.

Sure we are.

Let's get it out of the wet,

we can do that just as well in there.

All right, we can go now.

Lin Wei, you ride the front fender,

if you see any bomb craters
or any other trouble,

signal me with this flashlight.

Yes, Miss.

Hey, I'm not driving
this road in the dark.

Nobody asked you to.

The Chinese have a proverb,

"Rather than curse the
darkness, use your eyes."

Lin Wei, all right?

Yes, Miss.

Move over please.

All right, I'll take a chance.

You're not taking any chance.

I know this road like the back of my hand.

I was born in that town back there.

Say, if you got your date book,

you can put be down with the Jones'.

David Llewellyn Jones.

Wait a minute, on second thought,

you better probably with
the A's, on the front page.

Me too, I'm Johnny Sparrow.

Hello Johnny.

I'm Carolyn Grant.

Glad to you know you.

You know, the first thing we're
going to do is buy a drink.

Yeah, if it hadn't been for you,

we'd still be under the truck.

Those thugs almost took over.

They were not thugs.

They were just poor, frightened people

who are bombed out of their homes.

Where you headed for?

Chungtu.

That's a long stretch.

Yeah, I'm afraid it is.

Got relatives in Chungtu?

No, but there's a university there.

That's where all the students
go, from the bombed out areas.

I think I can be of some help.

You see I'm a teacher.

Miss. Grant, would you like a baby?

Want me to drive?

Ah, ah, I'm okay.

The way this trucks dragging
you'd think we had a load?

We have, they're jammed in back there,

like it was a hayrack.

Jammed into where?

Back there, the people that
got on back at the bridge.

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

Hey, you better get back in the truck.

Why?

Because I'm just about
to deposit some passengers

and things are liable to get rough.

You mean you intend
putting them out here?

Sure I am.

For the simple reason of
between here and Shanghai,

there are models.

I got just enough gas,
but with a load like this,

I'll never make it.

You can't be serious.

Now you take my advice

and get back in that truck with that baby.

I'll take care of my business.

This is my business too.

This riff-raff?

They are not riff-raff,
they're very fine people.

I told you I was born
in that town back there.

These are all friends of mine.

Well now look lady, all
I've got's a two ton truck.

You can't run that on the
nook of human kindness.

If we intend to get
there, they gotta get off.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jones,

but if you put them off
here, I'm staying with them.

Okay, if that's the way you want it.

All right, come on, get out of here.

Come on.

All right, everybody, come
on, get out, get out, come on.

Get up.

You all right?

Who's this?

One of my students.

Any more in there?

Yes.

Who put them in here?

I did.

What's going on back here?

Take a look.

Not bad.

I don't know how you do it, Boss.

Why didn't you tell me this before?

'Cause I was pretty sure
you wouldn't let them ride.

I've forgotten how much
trouble an American woman can be.

Mr. Jones, Sir.

Yeah?

We must proceed with our journey.

Please get into the truck immediately.

Now look, you get back in the.

Or you must excuse me,
if I blow your head off.

Hey, come on, get this
junk out on the road.

You hear me?

Lin Wei, tell him to get
this stuff off the road

or I'll knock it off with the truck.

Who is this gentleman?

An American who sells oil.

Some of our women are riding in his truck.

This isn't a good
road for you to travel.

But why not?

10 miles back from here,

Japanese troops are
passing through Shanghai.

How do you know?

It's our business to know.

And the enemy patrols behind you.

So what?

The Japs haven't got anything on me.

I'm an American citizen and I got a pass.

So you get that bunch of junk off the road

and I'll go through.

How about these girls?

Will they get through on your pass too?

That's my headache.

I'll think of something.

It's too bad for our women

that you weren't at Nan
King to think of something.

Wait a minute.

With the Japanese so close,
what do you think we better do?

Take that road.

Yes.

Then afterwards, do what he says.

What's that for?

That's a signal that
the enemy has been cited.

If you're going, you'd better go quickly.

Come on, let's get outta here.

I'd better ride in
the back of the girls.

You get in the back with the kid too.

Right.

You know those two guys back there?

Very well indeed, they are
my first and second brother.

Men of very complicated imaginations.

Cut out the double-talk.

Sometimes when thoughts come
to me, I speak them out loud.

It's the most discourteous
habit, Mr. Jones,

you must please excuse me.

I guess you figured out by
now, I don't like you very much.

Well, that's perfectly okay, Mr. Jones,

I don't like you either.

So you see our feelings
are entirely mutual.

Now that we got that
ironed out, who are you?

Third brother, Lin Wei, a medical
student at the university,

work with Miss. Grant,
I also studied English.

For an American, Miss. Grant
has many unusual qualities.

Mr. Jones.

Yeah.

Mr. Jones, if I ask you to do something,

you won't get mad, hah?

No, but if you start asking
me once more about that.

Oh, see, there you go getting mad again.

All right, what is it?

Well, it's about Donald Duck.

Who?

The baby.

Miss. Grant and I, we
sorta christened him.

Kinda cute name, hah?

Miss. Grant says that Donald

has absolutely got to have milk.

So do I look like a guy that's got milk?

No, but Tan Ying says that her family.

Tan who?

Tan Ying, the girl you
dragged out of the truck.

Her father's got a farm up the road ahead,

he's also got a cow.

And you know, in China. Mr. Jones,

cows don't grow on trees.

Okay.

Now all I have to hear
is that brat has measles.

Well, I didn't want to
mention it, Mr. Jones,

but since you brought it up,

Donald's got spots all over his little.

All over it.

Father.

Tan Ying.

Mother.

Tan Ying.

Father, mother.

Oh Tan Ying, my child.

Atta-boy, here we go.

Johnny, Johnny, I want
to talk to you a moment.

Okay.

Come over here.

Will you do something for me?

Sure.

I want you to help me persuade Mr. Jones

to take us to Chungtu.

That's kind of a large
order, Miss. Grant.

Besides, it would sort
of put me in a spot too.

Oh, would it?

Yeah, you see, I kinda figured

on being in Shanghai,
myself, in a couple of days,

catching a boat home for Christmas.

I even wrote my mom.

Oh.

Oh well, nevermind.

Come on Donald, let's get that milk.

About my being home.

Well, you don't need
to let that bother you.

Thing is Mr. Jones.

You mean you don't think he
could be talked into it, hah?

Miss. Grant, have you
ever wrestled a mule?

Because when, well, when Mr. Jones

gets his mind set on something,

nothing short of beating his brains out

will make him change it.

Right now, he's got his
heart set on Shanghai

and well, nobody ever
beat his brains out yet.

There's always the
first time, isn't there?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you were probably just
the one that can do it.

There's no, probably
about it, I've got to.

From here, the road runs like this

and right here, unless it's
been bombed, is an old temple.

To get there in a truck
would take about one day.

This is a ravine.

And right here, the road divides,

this one is a two day trip to Shanghai,

now occupied by the Japanese, as you know.

And this one is a seven
day trip to Chungtu

where all these girls
and carry on their work

without any danger from the
Japanese or their bombs.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

You're in a spot, but so am I.

In the first place, day after tomorrow,

I have to be in Shanghai,
I have an appointment

that I've driven halfway
across China to keep.

And in the second place,

driving you to Chungtu is out
because I haven't enough gas.

We can get you all the gas you want,

can't we Lin Wei?

Yes, all he wants.

Sorry, it's still Shanghai.

If you and the girls

want to go as far as
a temple, that's fine.

Driving into Chungtu is definitely out.

Take it or leave it.

Mr. Jones, you say you have
an appointment in Shanghai.

Just how important it is, I don't know,

but these girls also have
an appointment in Chungtu,

and their appointment
involves the destiny of China.

How could a bunch of girls
involve the destiny of China.

Would you please wait a
moment and let me finish?

These girls are students,

they're just a few out of many thousands,

they're being trained
for a very special job,

to educate millions of Chinese,

to teach them how working together,

they can build a new China.

Mr. Jones, you and I are Americans,

our forefathers fought and
died for a new America,

these people are fighting for a new China.

And if we don't help them now,

well I for one, am going to
stop calling myself an American.

She certainly said it that time.

You will please excuse me, Mr. Jones,

if I make it my business

to see that you do not disappoint her.

Some day, I'm gonna wrap a
truck around that kid's neck.

Take a pair of wings,
pin 'em on Miss. Grant,

you sure got and angel.

You ever had any experience
with angels, Mr. Jones?

Here's something that'll make him smile.

Isn't he a pretty child?

Did you ever see such shoulders?

Look how strong his arms are.

A fine man, he'll be
for some lucky woman.

With the harvest of such
strong, sturdy youngsters,

China need never be afraid.

What great help he'll be
on the farm in a few years.

But first he must be sent to school.

He must be taught to
read, to write, to think.

People must be educated.

There must be a new China.

Quiet.

Don't your books teach you
to respect your elders?

It is the old ones like you

that have held China
back a thousand years.

Oh go on, you little toad,

with that pudding face
and clattering tongue,

there's little danger of
any man making you a mother.

How can you talk like that?

She's our guest.

Outside with you.

And see if you've forgotten
how to ring a chicken's neck,

kill two of 'em.

Outside, I told you.

Yes, Mother.

Atta-girl.

Slow bossy.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

Didn't he say he's back yet?

No, I was looking for him.

Do you know where he is?

He's shaving.

Oh.

Mr. Jones has quite a temper hasn't he?

Yeah, but it don't mean a thing.

No?

Nah, some dogs like that,

they bark at one end and wag the other.

Really pretty swell guy
when you get to know him.

Perhaps.

How am I doing?

Oh, splendid.

Well I guess that's
enough for Donald, hah?

Yeah.

I understand in America
they milk by machinery, hah?

Some people do.

Cows don't like it though.

- They don't hah?
- No.

Is it difficult milking by hand?

Well, it's all in the touch.

Some folks got it, some folks ain't.

Oh.

Me, I guess I got it.

Cows I've milked are stretched from here

to Klamath Falls, Oregon,
that's where I live.

Ain't never had a complaint yet.

I bet they miss you.

I don't know about them

but right now I'm so darn homesick,

I can burst out crying.

But Johnny.

Oh, it's just being on a farm, I guess.

Got me all of a sudden.

It's the funniest feeling.

I wish I could tell you what it was like.

Well, take the old lady here

and the smell of grass
in the early morning,

fresh cut hay and pine
needles on a hot day

and the cool breeze coming up on a lake.

Mix 'em all up with
smell of hot corn bread

and bacon frying, coffee.

That's my home.

Oh, it sounds wonderful.

You bet it is.

- Miss. Grant.
- Yes.

May we go in and swim?

- Well.
- Please, Miss. Grant.

All right, girls, go ahead,
it'll probably do you good.

Hey, wait a minute,
that's where Mr. Jones

is cleaning up.

Good.

What do you
think of that Mr. Jones

calling us riff-raff.

He's worse
than a Japanese soldier.

That loud mouth, Mr. Jones.

Did you see him when third
brother pointed his gun,

he collapsed like a bag of wind.

That Mr. Jones is
nothing but a KuChangchun.

Oh hello?

Mr. Jones, I suppose you
heard what they said about you?

Don't mention it.

I'm so sorry you heard it.

What's that thing they
call me that KuChangchun.

I don't think you'd be
very pleased if I told you.

That's all right, go ahead.

Well then, a KuChangchun
is a very tiny insect.

No bigger than my fingernail.

But for such a small thing,

it makes a very big and nasty noise.

So that's what they think of me.

But in spite of what
they say, I like you.

Well, that's very kind of you.

Of course.

I know that appearances are against you.

And this is what I said to Miss. Grant,

there's some good in everybody,
I said, even in Mr. Jones.

Well, I can't give
you an argument on that.

Mr. Jones.

What I want to know is,

when are you gonna kiss Miss. Carolyn?

And what made you ask that?

You've had plenty of chances.

Now look, I don't go around
kissing every woman I see.

But you're an American, aren't you?

Yes.

What's that got to do with it?

I've seen lots of American cinema

and in everyone I've seen,

the man that either kissing somebody

or shooting somebody or both.

And this is why in a minute,

I'm expecting you to kiss Miss. Carolyn.

If I were a man, I know I would.

Kwan Su, sit far, in the back.

There you are Donald.

Oh, Miss. Grant.

Yes.

To keep him here would
be a great comfort.

With Tan Ying gone, we'll be very lonely.

We've given you our daughter.

So what would you please leave
the baby to take her place?

Did you say leave Donald here?

Do you think it would be safe for him

with the Japanese moving north?

Oh, no one but wild animals

would harm such a small one as this.

Well, what do you think, Johnny?

I don't know.

I guess if we take Donald,

we'll have to take the cow too, hah?

Yes.

Be pretty crowded in that
truck with all the girls,

don't you think?

Yeah.

I'm sure I'm going to
miss the little geezer.

I guess maybe we better leave him, hah?

Well, he'd get much better care here.

Bye, Donald.

Keep pitching for me, hah.

Don't you worry about Tan Ying,

we'll take good care of her.

Goodbye and thank you for everything.

Thank you, Miss. Grant.

Goodbye.

Tan Ying, say goodbye to your mother

and then hurry into the truck.

You've been very kind to us, goodbye.

Where to, Mr. Jones,
Shanghai or Chungtu?

Shanghai.

That goes for everybody else too.

Now get the vendors on board
and let's get outta here.

All right, come on, let's go.

Let's go folks, all aboard.

Bye Mother, bye Father.

All right, Tan Ying, atta-girl.

Bye-bye, take care of him.

Much better.

I'm afraid I am rather a mess.

I don't mean that.

You using lipstick is like a traffic cop

powdering his nose.

What's that got to do with it?

You just don't act
like the lipstick sort.

I know a girl like you once,

she had an act in a circus,

used to crack a whip

and make lions jump through paper hoops.

And you prefer the lipstick sort, hah?

Yes, mostly,

because I don't like
jumping through paper hoops.

Well, I'm sorry if I
made you feel that way,

I didn't mean to.

Then quit cracking that whip.

All right.

Sure is lonesome back
there without Donald Duck.

Come on, climb in here with us.

Thanks.

You know that kid sure got me.

Must be my maternal
instinct or something.

Anyway, I've been thinking
after this is all over,

how about my adopting?

Oh, Johnny, that'd be wonderful.

I think you're nuts.

I am not.

I can see the two of us right now,

back home on my mom's farm in Oregon.

I'd even give him my name,
John Ellsworth Sparrow Jr.

I'd be mighty proud to
introduce him to all the folks.

"Look what Johnny
brought back from China."

They'd say.

Yeah, they'd say, look, all right.

What do you mean?

They'd wanna know who
the father and mother were?

Well, I could be his fa...

What are you doing?

I'm going home,

I'm going back to my father and mother.

You're a weakling.

I can't help it,
they're old, they need me,

I should be with them.

That's no excuse.

You, me, all of us,

we are sworn to dedicate
our lives to the new China.

You can't go back now.

Just the same, I must go.

Let's stop the truck, tell Miss. Grant.

No, let her go.

When they find out it will be time enough.

I'm trying to tell you, this is my war.

As long as America is
neutral, I'm neutral too.

If you're trying to recruit for China,

you do it someplace else, not my truck.

Mr. Jones, I'd like
to show you something.

Here, take a look at
that, I'll watch the road.

Chiang Kai-shek.

Yes.

Who's the other guy?

My father.

They were great friends.

I think they were two of the
finest men that ever lived.

You know when my father was a young man,

he was very much like you.

Same ideas, talk the same way.

Thanks.

He was arrogant, opinionated

and completely wrapped up in himself.

Oh, I thought you
said he was a great guy.

Oh, he was afterwards.

After what?

After he met Chiang Kai-shek.

Then he spent the rest of
his life working with him.

I, in my own small way, am
trying to do the same thing.

You say I'm recruiting for China,

well, I guess I am.

Don't try to recruit me.

Japs have always been good business.

You can't expect me to hate 'em for that.

As a matter of fact,

I got a couple of pretty
good friends in Tokyo.

Hey, Boss, there's a Jap
plane in the back of us,

down the roadways.

Girls get out of the truck,

get off the road, scatter and lie down.

Behind those rocks.

Come one.

Hurry up girls, get over there.

Hurry up.

All right.

Get down, girls, get down.

Probably one of your
little friends from Tokyo.

He's coming back.

Sit down, will you.

That's a machine gun.

Yeah, but who did it?

Come on.

Mr. Jones.

Hey, who shot that down.

Did you?

Yes we did.

You guys really got here in a hurry.

Did all right too.

That was most usual.

Twice before I have seen
them do the same thing.

- Mr. Jones.
- Yeah.

Mr. Jones, one of the girls is gone,

it's Tan Ying, she dropped off the truck.

If it's all right with you, Mr. Jones,

I'll go back to the farm and get her.

You'll what?

Go back and get her.

Miss. Grant says it isn't
safe to leave her there.

Well, she went home, didn't she?

What are you worrying about?

The Japanese troops may go there.

Well, you left the
baby there, didn't you?

Oh, but that's different.

Tan Ying is a girl and a very young girl.

Oh, ten to one, the Japs
won't even go that way.

Well, that's a risk I
daren't take Mr. Jones.

I've talked to some girls
who escaped from Nan Chao

and I've also seen some who didn't escape.

We simply got to go back
and get her, that's all.

She's right, Mr. Jones, we better go.

Now, wait a minute,

you talk as if going back to that farm,

we're driving down to
the corner drugstore.

If you think I'm going
to backtrack 12 hours.

There's no use you flying
off the handle with Mr. Jones.

If you say it's okay
for me to go back, okay.

But okay or no okay, I'm going anyway.

All right, come on,
get away from that truck.

Take it easy, Boss.

Somebody's going to get hurt.

See, I told you somebody
was gonna get hurt.

I was going anyway.

That clip on the chin was just
for opening your big mouth.

Where do you think you're going?

I'm going with you.

Tan Ying is my responsibility.

Mr. Jones, I think you'd
better take this along with you.

Thanks.

It'll be better for
the women at the temple,

I'm not leaving 'em out
here to wait for the truck.

How far away is the temple?

It's about an hours march from here

and we're starting now.

Did you say march?

Come on, let's go.

What are you doing?

I'll just slip in quietly.

Please, you English?

Please, you English?

No, American.

Then please everything all right.

Japanese and the Americans,
very good friends, hey?

Come on, get up against that wall.

Come on, let's get outta here.

Tan Ying, hush darling,
you're all right.

Hush up, you're all right now,
Tan Ying, you're all right.

Come one Tan Ying, nobody's
gonna hurt you now, come on.

No, now calm down, calm down dear.

There you are, calm down.

I just shot three Japs.

Blew 'em to bits against a wall

and I've got no more feelings about them

than if they were
flies in a manure heap.

As matter of fact, I kind of enjoyed it.

Hi, Boss, how was the trip?

Come on, give me a hand.

What's the matter?

Kwan Su.

All right, we'll take her now.

What happened?

There were three of them, Johnny.

Poor kid.

She got any chance at all,
will she pull through?

I don't know.

What about Donald Duck?

"The Lord is my shepherd,

"I shall not want.

"He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures.

"He leadeth me beside the still waters.

"He restoreth my soul

"and he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness

"for his name's sake.

"Yay, though, I walk through the valley

"of the shadow of death,

"I will fear no evil

"because that word with me."

Miss. Grant.

Yes.

In that book that you're reading,

it says if we die, there's
another life for us,

is that true?

Yes.

Yes, those are the truest
words in the world.

You see Tan Ying, that's
what our savior meant,

when he said, if we believe in him,

we shall never see death.

You can believe that
with your whole heart,

without any doubts or questions.

"Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

"Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me,

"all the days of my life.

"And I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever."

Tan Ying.

Tan Ying.

How is she?

She's dead.

She didn't want to live.

Mr. Jones, may I
speak with you a moment.

Now, look I'm in a hurry.

I got three Jap machine guns in that truck

and I'm gonna start using 'em.

Mr. Jones,

easy, my friend, easy.

In fighting the Japanese,

most of all, I have learned patience.

Maybe you have, but I haven't.

I can understand your
anxiety to meet the enemy.

Well soon you'll have
plenty of opportunity.

Not far from here there's a full division.

Where?

Let me show you on the map.

They're advancing along this
road, about 40 miles from here.

How long will it take 'em to get here?

Until dawn tomorrow.

They'll get here sooner than that.

No, they'll have to
rebuild a wooden bridge,

across the river.

What do you mean rebuild a
bridge, I just came across it.

I've sent a second brother
and some men to burn it.

Over here, the road runs through a ravine.

A days march beyond the ravine,

is the flank of the
Chinese Fifth Root Army.

I have orders here that the enemy

must not pass through that ravine.

Yeah, and who's gonna stop 'em.

We must.

Oh, that's fine,

30 against 13,000.

Well that oughta be a cinch.

It would be very simple,
if we could block that road.

Then why don't you dynamite it?

Already thought of that.

But we need explosives.

The Japs
are probably repairing

that bridge by now, aren't they?

Yes.

Well they're sure to have some dynamite.

So you get your gang together tonight

and we'll get out and make a stab

at taking it away from 'em.

I'm going with you.

Me too.

It's all right for
Johnny to go but not you.

Lin Cho will need all
the help we can give him.

Unless we get that dynamite,

not only are the girls endangered,

but the Fifth Root Army
will be outnumbered

and runs the risk of being destroyed.

Don't you see, there're only three of us

who can handle that truck.

And if anything should happen,

somebody's got to drive it back.

Don't take too many chances.

I'll find a hole in the
river and crawl in it.

All right.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Think they'll make it?

If Lin Cho's luck holds up, yes.

So don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

Not true, I am afraid.

But it's a woman's fear.

The kind that comes to them

while they sit waiting and helpless.

I know now, it must eat their hearts out.

That's for Donald Duck.

Good luck, fourth brother.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Where's Lin Wei?

Is he badly hurt?

He's dead.

Come on.

Come on up here.

Where are all the others?

They're gone too.

Here you are, you'll be all right now.

Sit down, Johnny.

How'd that happen?

I guess I got too close to a bullet.

Same hand you hurt before, isn't it?

Yeah.

Didn't help by you
trying to drive that truck.

Oh, I smashed this hand so often,

I got so's I could drive with my toes.

All right soak in here for a minute.

Miss. Grant.

Miss. Grant, I don't know about you,

but whenever I got something on my mind,

I'm always one for
cracking right off with it.

Well, you're quite right, Johnny.

If anybody has anything on his mind,

there's nothing better than
cracking right out with it.

You said it.

I've been that way ever
since one night back home,

I went on a hayride,

it sure taught me a lesson

never let any grass grow under my feet.

Sorry.

Does it hurt?

No, I kinda like it.

Yeah, there was quite a
bunch of us on that hayride.

There was also a girl named Mary-Lou,

blonde, kinda on the heavy
side, good looker though.

Well what with the hay and the moon

and a guy by the name of Clinton Pickens

played on his ukulele,

I got to feeling pretty
good about Mary-Lou.

I guess you know how it is, heh?

Well, I've never been
on a hayride, Johnny,

but I can imagine a ukulele, a blonde,

a full moon and some hay,

sort of like playing with matches.

Yeah, it sure is.

Well the longer I sat
there looking at the moon

and holding Mary-Lou's hand
and listening to that ukulele,

the more I got the notion

that I was crazy enough about Mary-Lou

to ask her to marry me.

I guess you can understand
how I felt, hah?

I guess I do.

But if it had been me,

I'd have started running
right then down the road,

looking for a preacher.

There you are.

You would?

Well that's what I oughta have done.

I oughta never waited 'til
after the weenie bake.

'Cause after the weenie bake,

when I got around to asking
Mary-Lou to marry me.

She promised to marry somebody else.

Yeah.

And I'll bet you anything you want

that it was a ukulele player.

How did you know?

Oh Johnny, women just
know things like that.

Sure taught me a lesson though.

Sure taught me that if ever I
get crazy about a girl again,

the thing to do was to come
right out and tell her.

Well you're absolutely right.

And someday you'll find a
very sweet and lovely girl,

who's going to make you very happy.

That's why I'm telling you
now, I'm crazy about you.

And I'd think myself, the
luckiest guy in the world,

if you'd marry me.

Johnny, Johnny, you're awfully sweet.

Is it okay then?

No, I'm sorry, I'm afraid it isn't.

I was so afraid of that myself.

Guess it's no use of me trying to sell you

on the idea then, hah?

Well, if you should
ever change your mind,

I live in Klamath Falls,
Oregon, you can always reach me.

If I ever do change my mind, Johnny,

I certainly will let you know.

Thanks for asking me.

How's your hand?

Oh, fine, only thing worries me

is how am I gonna wind my watch.

Got to go to the truck, will you come,

I'd like to talk to you.

All right.

When a pint size kid Lin
Wei, with his ribs showing

and nothing but a knife between his teeth

can sail into something like that,

I know everything's gonna be all right.

You know, I liked that kid.

How do these work?

Well, it's very simple.

Put these on the side of the ravine,

take this wire and hook it onto this.

Then we kick it off.

Oh.

Then little Hirohito's men,

have got more dirt on 'em

than they can dig out of in a week.

You know how to send
these as Christmas gifts.

Who's going to do it?

I am, I guess.

While Lin Cho and his
brothers string out the wire.

Well isn't there anyone else who?

I mean besides you.

Who, for instance?

Outside of Johnny, there's
only three of us left

and Johnny's hand's no good.

Yes, of course.

When's it going to be?

Just before sunup.

We haven't got much time, have we?

No.

We can't measure things by time.

Why our whole life could be lived

as beautifully in five minutes

as they would have lasted a hundred years.

And then it could be lived a hundred years

without the memory of one
single moment of happiness.

Yeah.

I never thought of that.

I meant to tell you something.

Down at that river, all
I could think of was you.

When things got hot, I made a vow.

Just like some men who
swear they'll burn a candle

before the shrine of the Patron Saint.

That's what women do too.

Tonight, wherever men are in danger,

they are lighting candles,
even brighter than the stars,

but not in shrines, in their hearts,

for men they love who've gone away.

Yeah.

That's the light that'll
bring those men home.

Do you wanna know what that vow was?

Oh yes.

Well, I swore that if I came back alive,

I'd come back to you and
tell you that I loved you.

Are you asleep?

What's it like to feel a little drunk.

Wonderful.

Then I think I'm a little drunk.

Good.

Do you know that you have a little bump,

right there in your nose.

It was broken.

How'd it happen?

Oh it's too, sordid a story.

Tell me.

You're too young.

Please tell me.

Well, it involves another young lady.

Was she pretty?

She was sensational.

Had a twin sister too.

Were you in love with her?

Madly,

with both of 'em?

That must've been a little confusing.

It was.

The only way I could tell 'em apart

was one drank scotch and
the other drank beer.

One night, I took one of 'em out,

and we stopped for drink

and that's where I got my wires crossed.

How?

Without thinking, I ordered beer

and when it arrived,
she threw it in my face.

How could that break your nose?

She forgot to take it out of the bottle.

I think you're just
making up the whole thing.

It's really an operation for adenoids.

Where do you have to go?

Up there on the edge of the ravine.

Oh, I see.

The detonator, Mr. Jones.

You figured on a Jap
patrol ahead of the column,

haven't you?

We will take care of them.

Good luck, fourth brother.

Thanks.

Oh, Johnny,

you wait 20 minutes after the explosion,

we don't show up, you
clear outta here fast.

Take the girls to Chungtu.

Is that all, Boss?

Take care of yourself, you big lug.

Well this is it.

Yes.

Look, there's one thing I want
you to know before you go.

I love you with my whole
heart and I always will.

God bless you, darling.

Cross your fingers.

I will.

We'll plant some more up there.

Do you hear that?

It's the enemy.

They'll be in the ravine and through

before we can plant the
rest of the charges.

You know how to set them?

Wire them and hook 'em
up with that plunger,

like I showed you.

How quickly can you do it?

In 15 minutes.

- You got a watch?
- Yes.

Good, I'll go down and stall 'em off.

Remember though, you gotta
kick her off in 15 minutes.

There can't be any ifs or buts.

Here they come.

Good morning, General.

Oh, I suppose you don't speak English.

All Japanese staff
officers speak English.

But nevermind the social amenity.

Be good enough to explain
why you're delaying

an entire mechanized division

of his Imperial Majesty's army?

Well I'm out of gas.

You see, I got a truck, a
couple of miles down the road.

Would you mind showing
me your credentials?

Oh sure.

Do you, by any fortunate chance

happen to have an American cigarette?

Oh, sure, sure, sure.

Here.

Thanks.

I spent many years in your country

and I have acquired a taste for them.

Oh, well, here, here,
take the whole package.

I wouldn't dream of
depriving you a pleasure,

so hard to come by.

Oh, come on, you'd be doing me a favor.

Well a thousand thanks.

We have two minutes and a half left.

You must believe me when I say

that contrary to popular belief

that the Japanese people
have always held your country

in greatest esteem.

Well, that's fine.

Yes, they like it so well

that they had finally decided
to take it away from you.

You don't say?

In fact, we have already
moved toward that aim.

I don't get you.

It will be a pleasure to enlighten you.

Good.

Briefly it is this,

at this very moment,

your warships are at the
bottom of Pearl Harbor.

Your planes were destroyed

before they were able to take to the air.

Your defenses and the city of Honolulu

are a smoking shambles.

And you're dead, by the thousands,

litter the streets and the beaches.

And the fate of Pearl Harbor

will be the fate of all
so-called free democracies

who dare oppose the Imperial
Japanese Government.

Because we and our allies

for the ultimate good of
all nations concerned,

have determined to
establish a new world order.

You think so, hah?

In a year it will be history.

It'll never work out.

If you give me a couple of minutes,

I'll tell you why.

To find out why is
worth a couple of minutes.

General, in all the countries

that you and your gang
have put the finger on,

there are millions and millions

of little guys, just like me,

little guys who have
never amounted to much.

But all living our lives,

and they're pretty much the same pattern.

And the pattern of our life is freedom.

And it's in our blood,

giving us the kind of courage

that you and your gang never dreamed of.

And in the end, it's
that pattern of freedom

that's gonna make guys like you

wish you had never been born.

That's all, brother.

He was a great guy.
