All language subtitles for Joe Butterfly (1957)

All right, men, coming through.

Coming through, men.
Coming through there.

Bernheim, do you mind?

Saul, let him through.
Big war correspondent.

Oh, well, yes, sir. Certainly, sir.

Wouldn't think of
standing in your way, sir.

Mr. Hathaway, sir,
I'm one of the countless avid readers

of Trend Magazine, and I was
going to write you a fan letter.

I thought your story of
how you invaded Okinawa

was a classic of
contemporary journalism.

Yes, we didn't even
know you were there.

Well, the Yank staff is in fine form.

Too bad some of this talent doesn't
reflect itself in your little magazine.

Come along, Shenson, and I
think the ceremony is about to start.

Oh, Harold, I meant to tell you, you
won't really need your weapon today.

This is one of our ships.

I hate to disturb you, Shenson,
but if you can stop laughing,

I think we can get some pictures
of the Japanese delegation.

Aye, aye, sir.

Hey, where's Woodley? Right
up there in the six-dollar seats.

Well, well, Private John Woodley,
I might have known. Move over.

Did you hear what I
said? I said move over.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Does this drugstore develop snapshots?

Anything good?

Man, you gotta see six
pages of these pictures and

every edition of Yank from
Panama to the Persian Gulf.

Let's face it, Yank as in Army
Weekly is a dying enterprise.

As soon as we wrap this story up,
we can take the first plane back to

Manila, turn out that surrender issue,
and then home on the first ship out.

You know where I
am right now, Kennedy.

Where?

I am acting down Thwait
Avenue in a pair of

yellow shoes and a set
of hand-hewn threads.

And the autumn breeze is
heady with the scent of driver

muth wafting through the
swinging doors at Costello's.

Hey, maybe I'll come
over and join you.

Oh, yeah? They got a border
patrol now to keep your

Brooklyn characters on
your own side of the river.

Well, here's something for us
dirty old troops till I hit the Pacific.

John, you know you're not supposed
to bring liquor aboard a Navy ship.

Who brought it? This stuff
was made aboard this ship.

Don't they even drink it, Harvard?

Formaldehyde?

McMelty, this is a
hundred-proof gin, made

in the shade and stirred with a spade.

All you can drink
for five bucks a quart.

Sailor from Kentucky cooks it up.

Let's see.

Thirty-nine parts of gin
to one part of a muth, huh?

Make mine dry.

This is Radio Tokyo, and this is
your old girlfriend, Tokyo Rose.

The past four years with
you sad sacks have been

wonderful fun, but now the
sponsor has dropped my option.

So before I sign off,
I have a treat for all

my G.I. buddies, a song
you all know and love.

You are my sunshine.

There's the real war criminal.

Forty-six times a day for four
years, you are my sunshine.

In position!

At ease, men.

What you're drinking.

You gave me your
solemn word in Manila.

Well, that was back
during the war, Major.

I guess the day does
call for a little celebration.

Is that real gin?

Straight from the Admiral's locker.

I didn't ask you where
it came from, Woodley.

A martini, sir.

Very well, Woodley, but just one.

Gentlemen, I give you a toast.

To V.J. Day.

To V.J. Day.

Major, you saw Colonel Fuller, sir?

Oh, yes, yes indeed.

I must say it was a very
encouraging little chat.

The Colonel was pleasant and
cordial, almost as if he liked us.

Great. When's he
going to send us home?

As soon as we set up a
new Yank operation in Tokyo.

A new operation?

Tokyo? What do you mean?

Well, Colonel Fuller wants to get
out the Tokyo edition in time to

greet the 1st Cavalry Division
when it enters the city on Monday.

It'll be a great morale builder.

We can't walk into a
bombed-out enemy city

and turn out a magazine in three days.

Can't, Kennedy? Can't.

We don't know what things
are going to be like in Tokyo.

We have nothing planned for the issue.

We don't even know
where we're going to work.

Very well, Kennedy, if you don't
feel up to it, I'm sure the Colonel

won't mind turning the job over
to Hathaway and Trend Magazine.

Let Hathaway have it. I've got discharge
papers coming and I'm going home.

I've got a wife and a kid in
Chattanooga I've never even seen.

You've never seen your wife?

The kid, you dope.

I'm with Ed. Explode the
whole operation. It's over now.

We cover every beachhead
the side of Honolulu.

And the troops and magazine
everywhere they went.

Hathaway travels first
class on civilian pay.

Fills the home front full of mom's
apple pie and he wins Japan for Trend.

Don't con me, Woodley.
I know every trick in

your bag so you can put
the needle away now.

Sure, Pop.

All right, Major, tell Fuller
we'll have it out by Monday.

I already did, Ed. I know my
men and I know the spirit of yank.

Take it easy on this
stuff, fellas. We can't

afford another occurrence
like New Guinea.

One for the road, Major.

Well, this does call
for a celebration.

A toast.

To Hathaway.

I wish you could be
decent to Hathaway. He can

make a lot of trouble for
us if he gets steamed up.

He's probably cooled off by now.

Oh, come now, Colonel Fuller.

Your information education people
have had a breeze during this war.

Breeze? You try
handling civilian and GI

correspondence for
three and a half years.

It's been a nightmare. That's
the only way I can describe it.

A 42-month nightmare.

Civilian newspaper men are
crazy enough with these yank men.

Thieves, cutthroats,
juvenile delinquent.

Something wrong, Commander?

Oh, no, sir.

Just the fragrance.
Rather unusual.

Well, that's what aging does for gin.

This stuff, gentlemen,
is ten years old.

Where'd you ever get it, Fuller?

Well, there's a sailor aboard who's
been hoarding it. Kentucky boy.

Not very shrewd, though. I
got the whole bottle for $20.

To the victory.

One moment, gentlemen.
You all know the one

thing that no martini
is complete without.

Protected and cherished six long
months waiting for this very moment.

The only jar of onion-stuffed
olives in this whole area.

It's funny. I had
them right here.

Hewlett!

I put them in here this morning.

I can't find my olives, Hewlett.

Colonel Fuller!

Hathaway, where have you been?

I have just spent the last
half hour in Tokyo Bay.

At a time like this?

One of your yank men
pushed me overboard.

Yank? What yank man?

I'll let you guess, Colonel.

Him? He?

Come along, Hathaway.

Find my olives, Hewlett.

Meldick, stir up
another batch, will you?

I'll be right back.

To VJ Day.

VJ Day.

Attention!

Where is he?

Where is he?

Who, sir?

You know perfectly well who,
sir. Corporal John Woodley.

Private Woodley, sir. You
broke him again in Manila.

You should have had him shot.

Ferguson, you promised to
keep that man out of trouble.

Sir, I distinctly remember trying...

Siberia immediately.
Immediately.

Sir. Yes?

Sir, what did Woodley do?

I'll tell you what he did, Sergeant.

He pushed Mr. Hathaway
here overboard.

Well, that he should have got a medal.

I've had just about enough of this.

I expect you to do something about it
this time or I shall go to the General.

The General, Colonel Fuller!

I repeat, I wish this man
shipped out of here on the

fastest available military
or civilian transport.

Yes, sir.

Where shall I ship him, sir?

Siberia, if possible.

Sir, if I could have a
word with the Colonel...

Absolutely not.

I have been soft-soaked for
the last time about Woodley.

Oh, yes, sir.

I wouldn't try to defend him this time.

He's really gone too far.
You can bet your hat he has.

I only wanted to ask the Colonel
about Woodley's replacement. We'll

need a good photographer in Tokyo.
What's wrong with Bernheim here?

Sir, I'm a sketch artist. I'm really
lousy with a camera, sir. As a

photographer, sir, you have to hand
it to Woodley. He is kind of a genius.

He's a genius for trouble.
That's what he is.

He's a Jonah.
He's my personal Jonah.

Beginning with that
business down in Australia.

I don't have to remind you of that.
No.

That wasn't really Woodley's fault, sir.
It never seems to be Woodley's fault.

You remember, sir. He had just
gotten a dear John letter.

His girl had married a
civilian. He was a little upset.

He was a little upset and
you guinea too, wasn't he?

When he drove that deep
into the generals' latrine.

Oh, the general was very
nice about that, sir.

Sir, I don't know of any other
officer who could have shown

the patience and tolerance
with Woodley that you have.

What are you talking about? I have no

patience with Woodley.
I have no tolerance.

No, sir. I mean, yes, sir. By
the way, sir, you should be

congratulated for your idea about
getting out of Tokyo edition of Yank.

We never would have thought of it
ourselves. It was very good for morale.

It's great to be tough, though,
without Woodley's pictures.

Where are you?

War is over. I suppose I could
give that maniac one more chance.

But you'll all be held responsible
for his behavior, at all times.

And if Woodley or any one of
you, Yank, fouls up just once in

Tokyo. I'll court Marshall a
lot of you. Was that understood?

Oh, yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Yeah, what's in the picture?

Oh, the man wanted to celebrate,
sir. I thought just this one.

Forget it, Fergus, didn't forget it.
Might have a small drink, myself.

Oh, yes, Martini, for the
curtain. Martini's, eh?

Yes, sir. You know, someday, after
I've completely recovered, I'm

going to write a book about what I
went through with you Yank people.

Horror story, of course.
To Vijay Day. To Vijay Day.

To peace and quiet.

Hey, eh, where does this gin come from?

I Woodley buys it from some Hillbilly
Salazar, five books of court.

Five.

Here they are, friends. The only jar
of onion stuffed olives in the home.

Four and peas. Fuller's not
taking any chances, is he?

Hi, fellas. Don't get too close to
the ship. You might get Shanghai.

You just had to have an olive
in that Martini, didn't you?

Well, I'm paying my debt to society,
managed to the United States of America.

Be careful how you fraternize with
those native women over there.

All right, let's keep moving.
So long, John. So long.

Hey, fellas.

Hey, bye-bye.

Hey, meatballs.

I got an office, boy.

Office, where?

Oh, Ken, Billy. About
three miles over that

way. There's statue
of a man on horseback.

It's a good thing you came
along to give us a lift.

Give you a lift. Walk, you crumbs.

Someday I'm going to
tear that guy apart.

Say, fellas, I got an idea.

Oh, saw. You went spoiled by surprise.

Well, this is the
fourth time we've passed

Paul Revere. Somebody
ought to take a reading.

Hello, G.I, welcome to Japan.

Jobar, fry your service.
Thank you very much.

Very cross-shaving.

I think that's pretty good.

Uh, Frankfurt, I run very fast these
days. Not so fat like before, huh?

Say, you like to buy a little souvenir,
eh? What were the police chasing

you for? Nothing, that means it's your
only job, but I got very bad habit.

I see cup, I run, I run, I chase. You

like to buy little
Japanese painting, huh?

This guy speaks English, almost.
No, I spend ten years at the USA.

I work houseboy, very, very big
people. Also, I very big traveler.

Chicago, Broadway, what's
up? I'm beachy, all

broken. Oh, broken. Oh,
wait number one, hi there.

See gentlemen, I work
for you after a while,

a long time. You great
friend, that show, huh?

Japanese, come on, real
silk, ten dollars will

do, spy you, eh? Okay.
Okay, my gal wants one.

X-Nay, they're probably only fake.
Oh, no, this aren't ever late, huh?

Yeah, look, can you tell us the
way to the Hokkaen building?

Hokkaen, oh, they're very
far away, you go this

way, that way, street's
worse than Boston, huh?

Well, thanks just the same. Thank you.

Please, but if I draw
also a number one

tourist guide, four of
it's one hour, okay?

Okay, come on. Hokkaen building,
two blocks, right, one left.

Well, as I'm going to
see Colonel Puller,

back you'll have to
get rid of the jeep.

Thanks, very much. Hi, I got special
day on Samuel I saw, you thank?

No, not today. Anything
new, one I got, I buy

I sell over table under
table, wheel and deal.

I paid top price for cigarettes, huh?

No, all right, that's you later.

It fuller come up with
a printing press or do

we chisel this magazine
out on stone tablets?

I didn't see Puller. I
saw the major, he gave me

a pep talk on the importance
of the Tokyo edition

and a folder full of junk from
New York. Anything we can use?

An up cartoon page, side
sack, two pages of state side

sports, that leaves us with
19 pages to fill by ourselves.

In 72 hours? Impossible.

Gentlemen of the press. I mean,
enlisted men of the press.

You don't have to look to know
when Ulux coming. Did you ever

stand downwind of the Gawanas
Canal on a hot summer's day?

You boys got all your
stuff moved in? All

the stuff we've got
we've got moved in.

I'm really proud of you.
Now move it out again.

That's the horse play.
We've got three days to get

out of magazine. Then you
can come in and make jokes.

You got a magazine to get
out? You also got a lot

of crud to get out. Now
start evacuating right now.

Five and shorter.

General order 806,
which rescins 805 that

reserves this floor
for majors and below.

Now 806 reserves this
floor for bird kernels

and kernel fuller told
me to tell you guys.

You tell kernel fuller. Tell me what?

That we can't get out of magazine
without a place to work, sir.

Ulux, didn't you tell them about
their new working quarters?

What new working quarters, sir?

Sir, I hadn't wanted to
spoil a nice surprise.

Nice surprise!

Not good off. Not good off.

Wait a minute. Hey, I
just ran into half of it.

With the Jeep, I hope.

Oh, come on now. It's not that funny.

I break up that each time I think.

You want us to go to dinner
at some big gay house.

You said you'd send this car around.

Come on, it's the pillow
dance. Bottom's up, everyone.

Oh, beautiful spot, isn't
it? Look at that fish farm.

Everything all right, boy?

Great. Just great.

Oh, I'm sure glad you could make it.

Say, have you made any
post-war plans yet?

Such as.

You should stay in the magazine,
Phil. Boy, you really should.

More money, more prestige.

And you've certainly proved out here
you've got a real editorial player, boy.

We could use spirit like
yours in Trent Magazine.

No, really. One word for me,
they hire you just like that.

Well, it's not that I don't trust
you, Harold, but what do you want?

Better half a way.

That's why I've been looking
all over town for you.

Hi, Shenson.

Boy, you army guys have
sure got a strong union.

One user for English press
in this town and you get it.

Oh, Harold, I bet this comes to you
as a very big surprise, doesn't it?

It's a matter of fact it does that
press really belongs to me, you know.

To you?

Yes, the Trent people
build a plant in 1934,

and then when the war started,
the Japanese confiscated it.

When the war was over, the
Americans confiscated it.

For yet Magazine?

Of course, that offer is still good.

Congratulate me, Troops.
His excellency was

just offering me a
job on Trent Magazine.

I'm not much at reading
contracts, Ed, but

what does this one say
in the small print?

Well, I'm just beginning
to get the focus.

And you stop me if I'm wrong, Harold.

What would happen if we just happened
to miss our deadline on Monday?

Colonel Fuller would
give the press to us.

And half a way would put out the
first surrender issue in Japan.

That is if we happen to
miss our deadline, huh?

I'll bet if it were
urgent enough, Harold,

you could get us all
jobs on Trent, eh?

Well, I'm sure that could be arranged.

Is that a firm offer?

You bet it is, Ed. We can
all go places together.

Well, you go first, Harold.

For one cotton of nails, it's
hardly worth opening the store.

I'm never gonna get rich this way.

Well, it's worth making money.

Five, ten cents a throw.
You're getting fired up.

All right, all right.
What else do you need?

Really need hard chocolate
coffee, things like those.

Penny's worth a feature, huh?

You think I was running a
neighborhood candy store?

I take one coffee, please.

Two chocolate, one sea ration.

That's what I like to
see. A big spender.

I'd squeeze for small
businessmen these days.

Give me the money.

Bye.

I know guy once would
like you very much.

You, he's kind of people.

He was in protection
racket in New Jersey.

Name Mike the gunner. Sayonara.

Hey, wait a minute, butterfly.

I'm a little new at this kind of racket.

I so?

Yeah, I think you and I could
do a lot of business together.

Oh, you want partner?

Sure. I got the
merchandise. You sell it?

We split the profits.

Well, so even Steven,
so we get stinky rich.

You said it partner.

Okay, we partners. Thank you very much.

Now I make up contract, you know?

Hmm? Contract.

I put down exchange rate of
full price list for merchandise.

Okay.

Put all that in writing?
Are you out of your head?

No contract, no deal.

All right.

All right, all right.

Party of the first part and
party of the second part.

We put in that part, okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

You got to sell this stuff
a little at a time, see?

So nobody gets suspicious.

It'll be nice and safe here in the desk.

Japanese burger are quite inferior,
but always looking desk first.

Don't worry. It's solid as a rock.

Besides, I got the only key and
this building is guarded by MPs.

MPs watch over Brack Market loot.

Oh, you very smart cookie partner.

You ain't number one little Caesar, no?

Sign here.

You know if this falls
into the wrong hands,

it's Alcatraz for us.

I got nice friends there.

All right, come in, come in.

Hello, GI.

This character takes on
running an employment office.

All right, what do you creeps one?

Where's the Colonel?

I gave him the afternoon off, McGee.

Come on, come on, state
your problem, make it brief.

That barracks routine is no good, Ulik.

We've got to have office space.

Go see your chaplain. I
can't change the order.

Whose office is this?

Colonel Fullers.

What general order?

806.

806 has just been rescinded.

The new 1807 reserves this whole
floor for Air Corps generals.

Out and take your furniture with you.

I butterfly.

Be careful, stupid. Why
don't you relax, Ulik.

You are troubled, too, just say so.

I say so.

Okay.

Leave him alone, Ulik.

Is all you men have to
do, brawl on the streets?

Sir, we came to see
if something couldn't

be done about working space for us.

What are you talking about?
I gave you working space.

Sir, we can't work in those
barracks. We can't think in them.

We need an office of some kind.

Uh, sir.

What do you want me to do, Kennedy?

Find some boards, a hammer,
and build you an office?

Sir, there must be some place.

Confound it, man, for all I know.
I may not have office space myself.

Sir, you haven't. See?

What?

General order 806 has
been replaced by 807.

You've got to be an Air Corps
General to stay in there.

The way people are crowding in,
Tokyo's getting worse than Washington.

All right, bring my files.
Put them in the Jeep.

We'll find another office.

Sir, about my desk. I can't leave.

Last your desk. Do as I say.

Yeah, but can't we load those things in
my truck, sir? It's right over there.

Have a long unit.

Yes, sir. Come on,
bring those files, huh?

Hello, greetings.

Hot day, huh?

Where are you going with this desk?

Ah, Joe, take that scolds.

Taking it home, this is Army property.

Ah, so, oh, I need that's pretty
bad. I'll give you anything you want.

Right now, I'll double
it. You name my game.

Okay. We want an office
in the Imperial Palace.

I'll blow.

If Bill passes too big for a
deal, how about the nice house?

Very nice. Good neighborhood.

House. You can get us a house.

I give you a dress. You go there
right away and save Joe's, thank you.

It's very good deal. I
get this. You get house.

Okay, doggy. Bye-bye.

Not so fast. Not so fast.

We get house. Then you get this.

Okay, doggy.

Very smart. Okay, doggy.

We're here. 200 houses
burned down. One night.

Many people homeless. No food.

They frighten most of them,
but want to be friends.

Hey, Butterfly, what are
those people doing over there?

See, all neighbors help
build the house back.

Then they move to the next
house, build that back.

Well, they used to do the same
thing back in the States a lot.

Mostly country people.

Ah, so, people say more all over.

Please.

And I don't like this.

Oh, I think you like
when you see. Please.

Is that house? Or is that house?

Good. Great. It's a mansion.

Sure is. Home was never like this.

Hi, companies. Huh? You come, please.

Who lives here, Joe, the royal family?

No, no, private family. Big
butter and egg man before war.

Are you on the level
about this deal, Joe?

Good deal for us. Young Correspondent.

But no, I go ahead wheeling the index.

I'm surprised some general
hasn't grabbed this place by now.

And I'm a little skeptical
about this Joe Butterfly.

Yeah, I can't figure out why
he's so hot for that crummy desk.

Yes, Lisa. See, what's I
tell you? Everything hot.

Sitatsi. Come eat, landlord. Please.

Landlord, are you happy?

Yeah, sure, but does he speak English?

Oh, no, he's square,
dear. Reve English to me.

Copicetic? Copicetic.

We'll be very firm
with the enter. Please.

This is the Sakyama master as a house.

Hello.

Abare this house. Dozo,
why do you have to find it?

He's a kindly to enter his poor house.

But please, first to take
off shoes before enter.

Japanese custom.

Well, what are you stripping for?

We can look the place over
without you going native.

Such attitude consider a
somewhat rouse in Japan.

Dozo. Dozo.

Mrs. Saku, sister of Sakyama, son.

Mr. Chieko-san?

Mr. Chieko-san.

Yes, sir.

Then, please take care of Mr. Shikuchi.

Mr. Shikuchi, please do not
take care of Mr. Shikuchi.

I know. Please take care of everything.

Yes.

He does close off as he goes with
Chutei's strong master Shreds.

So, what?

He said, put it down.
Some place, please.

Dozo! Dozo.

This way.

What is it to be changed?

You're not a man?

In musical spations Narrow
will be given to you!

Are there any good things?

From the American thread,
if women have goods, me too.

This is a very nice place, Mr." Sukiaki?

Saki ama. Sukiaki meant beast.

Well, one of you natives showed
me how to use their places?

Whooo, fork!

Oh!

So, you know, this nip in
his chuck isn't bad at all. I

always thought these characters
lived on seaweed and octopus.

It's pretty quite good. Yeah, well, if
it's so good, why aren't they eating it?

Well, maybe they're not eating it.

You know, like Japanese food,
it's a cultivated taste, you know.

You know what I think?
It's F-H-B. F-H-B.

Family, hold back.

You mean, this is all
the food they've got?

So, there's not much
food in Japan these days.

Well, for sure hospitality, I
take my hat off to these people.

The hat sergeant, a beautiful
frog, you take off shoes.

In the high rows, there's a
bandit I job at, that's all.

Ah, also. So, I explain
that we help with overhead.

Five dollars a day, keep playing
scoy. European plan. We bring on food.

All right, Mr. B. So,
what's her big joke?

In school, most Japanese, one
never know what they're thinking.

All right, all right.
First thing in the morning,

we've got to ease our gear
out of those barracks.

Magnolia, you promote a week's
rations from the GHQ company.

Mason, you draw week's rations
from the quartermaster.

Oh, yes, yes. Right in here with
that, boys. Bring the desk right in.

Boy, butterfly, will you tell the
boys to bring the desk in here?

No, no, no, we make deal. You
get how so I get this, huh?

You'll get it as soon as
we get the magazine out.

So, you had to consider
it very arousy in Japan.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Ah, McNulty, you'll find food, man.

Hey, people, I...

Who are the visiting firms?

Oh, it's a cousin to mine,
just put it down for a visit.

Hey, you guys make out okay?

No, Saul, we bought it
all at a supermarket.

Come on, fellas, let's
get this stuff inside.

Hey, Minami, Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami.

My cousin brings family.

High school, high school.

All right, what's so funny
in screw-double Japanese?

You look so ferocious.

Yeah, well, you'd look ferocious, too.

You speak English.

Ah, leto? From the mission school.

But I don't talk a lot. I promise you.

I might say, say...

I might say, say...

It makes me hope he...

What's going on?

Don't tell me he learned
that in the mission school.

He can't really speak English.

He doesn't know you're
singing in the bathroom.

Yeah, well, it's gotta stop.

You quiet him down, and I'll
have a word with Bernheim.

Ready to party check again, sir?

A lot of you do.

Come on, recaptured gear
over and too strong.

We held quartermaster position, sir.

See you, rations. You guys
are losing your touch.

Don't add those touchy.
Make tastes like sukiyaki.

We gotta get some furniture.
I'm just not built Japanese.

For small consideration,
maybe I help find furniture.

You're not supposed
to be doing it. You're

supposed to be out
drumming me up the camera.

Remember?

Ah, so, must make relations.

What's all that hammering out there?

What the heck?

I'd like to see you try
typing on these crazy tables.

You don't care, though.
You got your desk.

He got Bruce desk.

Common thieves, burglars.

Smart bunch of operators.

You steal my furniture. You steal
my vehicle that carted it off with.

Next time, be smarter.

Don't leave that getaway
cart parked out front.

All right, Julie.

All right.

I take your desk and
your truck and get lost.

Very cozy little setup.

I'm sure Colonel Fuller's gonna
be very impressed by all of this.

Let me kill him, eh?

The Japanese have all seen. One
go too fast. One go in circles.

Everything's still solid, buddy.

I'll talk to you later, Butterfly.

All right. Come on, you guys. Let's go.

I'll have a chop chop. Let's
get this thing out of my truck.

That's it. Chop chop. Hurry up.

I'll latch it, you idiot.

Come on, Butterfly. Give my hand.

Okay, Butterfly.

What do they mean, partner?

I have never seen such conscientious
regard for government property.

Especially from Healy.

Get your cotton pickin'
hands off my desk.

Hey, Oscar, what's in the desk?
What makes you so nervous?

Nervous. Who's nervous? I'm not nervous.

This is all I'll find something
we can use for our crowbar, huh?

Leave this desk alone,
or I'll call EMPs.

No, not EMPs. We'll be
plenty trouble partners.

You'll grow fast.

Shut up! Come on, give us the key.

You're ain't no key.

Oh, oh, oh.

Where the hell are you?

I'm a sergeant.

Boys, we have found the cookie jar.

I've been savin' up my cigarette ration.

What's this 1912 in business
already, huh, rat face?

Ooh, they got us dead
the wrong sergeant.

I vote we make them
partners, junior partners.

Hey, what's this?

Well, what is it?

Well, you might say it's
our insurance policy.

A guarantee that we won't
have any more trouble

out of Oscar Hulik or Colonel
Fuller from here on out.

You got nothin' on me?
That paper ain't signs.

Partner, your goosefried police!

This paper sign, please.

Wouldn't this look pretty
on the cover of Yank?

Oh, come on, give me a break, huh?

I was only trying to
make a little extra dough

to buy somethin' for the wife and kids.

Like Florida, maybe, huh?

This is blackmail.

Sort of. Now listen, Oscar,

you ever get mixed up in this
black market routine again?

We turn you over to the MPs.

I swear, never again!

Okay, hit the road. If we need
your wheels, send for you.

I don't like it.

In the black market, too, huh?

These back times in Japan, Sergeant,

men who follow righteous ways,

sometimes watch his children star.

All right, Joe, give it to your friends.

Such attitude considered
somewhat nice in Japan.

But any more of this black market
stuff, and it's not gonna be so nice.

No, no, no, no, no, no,
no. Right to work to do.

First, a scrounge
camera for brave eagle.

Excuse me, please.

Gentlemen, that seems to be the
overall history of the occupation

picture to this very moment.
Are there any questions?

That seems to take care
of the history, Colonel.

Now, how about some news?

I'm sure the readers of Trend
Magazine would like to know

whatever became of Tokyo Road.

Yeah, Colonel, what about the road?

You got it yet? Where is it?

Gentlemen, if we had Tokyo Road,

you can be sure I would
give you the story.

There's simply nothing to report.

Looking for, though, aren't you?

Well, of course we are.

The counterintelligence corps is
just as eager to find her as you are.

Well, gentlemen, I
believe that wraps it up.

Ah, you are getting the
magazine out on Monday.

Uh, yes, sir. Yes, indeed, sir.

Ah, good, good.

As you all know, I've been
getting quite a lot of pressure

from Hathaway to release
the press to him.

Now, I'm counting on
you turning out an issue

which will make us all very proud.

What's your lead story going to be?

Oh, well, we haven't
quite decided yet, sir.

Oh.

Well, I suggest that you
do decide and quickly, too.

If you miss that deadline,
there'll be egg on all our faces.

Carry on.

Coffee, boys, son.

Oh, come on now.

Now, if there's one thing
we do not need around here,

it's a small Japanese hillbilly.

Now, cut it out.

What is it?

A member of the government, a bird
colonel, a strange one, take cover.

McNally.

Ah.

Try to head him off at the front door.

Me?

Yes. Whatever you do, don't let him in.

Good morning, Sergeant.

Good morning, sir. May I help you, sir?

I certainly hope so.

I was just passing by
and saw the jeeps outside

and I assume there were
probably Americans living here.

Oh, yes, sir. Very much indeed, sir.

You're out of uniform, Sergeant.

Oh, Japanese custom, sir.

Then there are Americans living here?

Oh, yes, sir. Very much indeed, sir.

This is General Hossifer's billet, sir.

General Hossifer?

Yes, sir.

Lieutenant General Hossifer,
sir. I'm the General's orderly.

Oh, I was hoping it'd be
someone a good fine room for me.

I'm sorry, sir.

I don't believe I'm acquainted
with General Hossifer.

What does he do?

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm
not at liberty to say.

Oh, I see. Special assignment, huh?

Well, perhaps you could
tell me one thing, Sergeant.

Do you think the General
will be here long?

Oh, yes, you're quite right.

Well, I only ask because
it is such a nice place

and I just lost my room
at the Imperial Hotel.

Sergeant?

I'm afraid I'm keeping
the General waiting, sir.

Oh, yes, of course.

Well, just in case the General
should be vacating the house,

here's my car.

Thank you, sir.

How was that?

Pretty good, huh?

You overplayed it, you always do.

Well, he left, didn't he?

He's back!

Don't move, nobody.

You scared, huh?

Oh, but I bring home bacon.

Find best camera in Tokyo.

Find five cameras.

Not bet there ain't
one, I know how to use.

Please, sir.

Excuse, please.

I number one itchy bond camera, boy.

I'll cut my throat.

I will.

Is somebody gonna give
me a teeny little hug?

I'll hug it.

Boy, am I glad to see you.

Glad to have you back, John.

Well, what about boys?

Home again, I find him sleeping
in lobby at Daichi Hotel.

A minute, I see bad, I say.

One of us, young men.

What are you doing in Tokyo?

Occupying it, like everyone else.

But you're supposed to be
occupying a troop transport

some place between
here in San Francisco.

Yes, sir, if I hadn't mumped
into Powell's UI here,

I'd still be looking for you.

Say, is there a drink around here?

Motura.

Do you realize you're AWOL?

It's a nice place we've got here.

You jumped ship, didn't you?

Brave Eagle?

How'd you ever get mixed up with a navy?

That ship won't get to San
Francisco for another six months.

Where they're turning around out there,

you think there was a
war on or something?

I repeat the question, you
jumped ship, didn't you?

I didn't jump anything.

Some Joker threw me off in Yokohama.

I think I was gonna plead with
him just because he was a captain.

Those characters are hypersensitive.

Once again, the sound of
Happy Laughter will echo

through our little cottage.

I can just hear the sound of
Colonel Fuller's Happy Laughter.

When he finds out Woodley's
here, we'll all get the chair.

How's he gonna find out?

Do you think I'm going downtown
and holler up at his window?

Nobody has to tell Fuller. He's
got radar where you're concerned.

I'm willing to let bygones be
bygones, so I should fuller.

If he finds you, it won't be bygones.

It'll be bye-bye for all of us.

Where am I, Ty?

Where are the sleeping
quarters around you?

We'll have to hide you here
until we can figure some way

of smuggling you out of the country.

I want one thing clear, John.

You were not to set
foot outside this house.

Crazy. I thought we were going
to hate these people, isn't it?

John, have you heard anything I've said?

John?

Oh, yeah. I'm confined to quarters.

That's right. And if you got bored,
you can help Saul out in the dark room.

Yes, sir, wouldn't I?
I'll be a model prisoner.

Let's just all hope for the best.

Mason, you and Saul take a camera
and get that 11th Airborne story.

Come on, Mac.

We've got to take in
that press conference.

I remember staying in
the house, Woodley.

Hello, fellas. Give my
regards to you, know who.

Early, son.

Pretty sharp, huh?

You look so funny.

I kind of thought so myself.

My mother wouldn't even
recognize me this outfit.

How did you take my picture?

Oh, no, please.

I couldn't use a camera.

Look, the first thing
you're going to have

to learn is that Japanese
women do not argue.

All you do is say, yes, Woodley, son.

Yes, Woodley, son.

That's better.

Now, this little camera
is very simple to operate.

All you do is just hold it like this.

Then you look through there.
That's the viewfinder.

Until you see my
imposing military figure.

And then you push here.

So.

So.

Woodley!

What are you doing outside?

I have fellas.

What's this little tableau supposed
to be, Paris in the spring?

Excuse me, please.

Well?

Oh, I was just showing
Diego how to use the camera.

Nobody ever takes my picture.

But they will, John. I keep expecting
to find a tactile in the post office.

I told you to stay inside.
Supposed somebody saw you.

Hey, will you cut out that noise?

Where do all of these
people keep coming from?

Visiting relatives.

All cousins of Joe Butterfly.

May I present Sam Butterfly?

Fred Butterfly?

Manny, Moe, and Max Butterfly.

Major Ferguson Butterfly
and Uly Butterfly.

Don't just stand there, Woodley.

Good afternoon, Major.

Kennedy, it isn't true, is it?

It is true.

I wouldn't have believed it.

I simply wouldn't have believed it.

I know, sir.

The other man, yes, but not you.

You've always seen more responsible.

What are you doing in a
place like this, Kennedy?

Ah, hooligan.

Little Mr. Double Cross, I out of
Belchew right across the mouth.

McNally put him down.

I had a tell about it.

They were down to the
barracks looking for you.

I suppose you men have never
heard of regulation 809.

How does that one go, Major?

And listed men will not occupy quarters

other than the barracks
assigned to them.

That's how it goes.

What was I going to do?

Keep my mouth shut and let
them report you missing?

Good, haven't. Would
you look at this place?

Offs is downtown, fighting and
scrambling for a tiny little hotel room

and you people have a house.

A palace.

Statuary.

Why didn't you just go in and
take over the American Embassy?

You've got to get out of here right now.

Do you hear?

Very good, sir.

We'll bring out the magazine next week.

No.

Oh, Kennedy, what are
you trying to do to?

Put out a magazine for you.

Meet your deadline, sir.

But I'm afraid it's out
of the question now.

Don't even talk like that.

We've got to get the magazine out.

Major, we didn't move into this
hutch with an option to buy it.

Oh, that's right, sir.

We'll only need it through Monday.

And if we're thrown out before then...

All right.

Through Monday.

I have the same nightmare every night.

I'm in a cell in Leavenworth and
you men are on the outside waving.

I'll be with you in
half a minute, Major.

Hey, where are you going?

I don't want the major to hear us.

You know we spell it off here.

This is important.

All right, all right.

What's the big secret?

That paper you've been
holding over my head?

I got something I'll swap you for.

You haven't got anything that good.

A cable message that just
came in from the Navy.

Conserves a certain friend of yours.

Oh, say who do we know in the Navy, Ed?

Nebets, Halsey, John Paul, Jones.

This concerns John Paul Woodley.

Cable gram for me?

Yeah.

Woodley!

No!

Oh, dear me, isn't that off?

All right. Cut the
clowning. What does it say?

That he went AWOL in Yokohama.

Has the Colonel seen that?

Of course he hasn't.

If he had this place to be crawling with
MPs, we'd all be nailed to the wall.

All right, Oscar.

Now you haven't seen
any cable from the Navy.

And if any more come through, you
will shortstop them too, okay?

I'll wait a minute.

What I want you to do right now is this.

I want you to cut a set of travel
orders for Little Johnny here.

Air transport with a good high priority.

Fony travel orders? Are
you out of your mind?

I can't go around
forging things like that.

That's right, Ed. That'd be illegal.

I ain't cutting orders for Woodley.

He's a fugitive. I am
not. I'm a tourist.

I can't do it. I never get away with it.

I'm begging you, Ed. Don't play
around with a thing like this.

Oh, what they did, did you photograph a
good, big, clear one for reproduction?

Sure I did. No, don't do it.

I got a wife and kids.

I've got enough points for discharge.

I'm supposed to be home by Thanksgiving.

Oh, you'll see your wife and kids?

They have visitors days in those places.

All right, Kennedy.

How do you want the orders to read?

Make it Hong Kong. City of Sin.

San Francisco with a
number two air priority.

I got a goal. I remember number
two priority, San Francisco.

You, Ed. Didn't you think the Navy
had let Fuller know you jumped ship?

Did I know the Army and
Navy wrote to each other?

Woodley, will you stop that? There's
enough of that going on outside already.

Johnny, if that prisoner routine is

supposed to make me
feel bad, it won't work.

And where are you going,
old daughter of the samurai?

Outside and play in the yard, even in
our country as they let you do that.

Hold it, butterfly.

What are you making
up for this time, Joe?

Hello, Kennedy. San, hello,
Jones. Happy holiday.

It's testable day for shrine.

What's with the boxes?

Boxes. Boxes, boxes. Jump of trucks
on place. We'll find in street.

This guy is a genius at coincidence.

Thank you.

Didn't they have anybody's name on them?

Hey, at this point, Mr. Fraggley.

We look all over town, no fine.

Yeah, there must be some way to
find out who these belong to.

Find a keeper, Ruder Weepers.

Break out what's inside them, butterfly.
Let's have a little shake down.

I soot.

Hey, what's your son? What's your son?

Wow, caviar.

Smoked oyster.

English biscuits.

Hey.

Onion stuffed olives.
Doesn't that take you back?

Pape before grass, whatever that is.

It's easy enough to see what happened.

Temple underprivileged GI lost
its food package from home.

I shall return.

Oh no, what you think
is not possible to be.

Truck now go his directions.

Look, you quick finger.

No friendings whatsoever.

We have big party.

I used to be best chef in Chicago.

One time cook big meal
for Mr. Al Capote.

He very happy.

No deal. Let him have it.

And soon we'll get rid of it better.

Oh, all right. Use it for your party.

You and Shibango Joe Sergeant.

Party begins six
o'clock. You'll be there.

Not for us.

Party no fun unless you've ever come.

I cook big dinner show with
buddy buddy pals once for all.

Okie dokie.

He can't let them join them.

You know it's a good thing for our side.

He wasn't running the war for them.

Shut up!

Oh please, use it.

Next time Joe's fight for Navy.

Hamburger.

Hamburger.

Oh please.

So, are you good tonight?

Hey, butterfly son.

Meet shortage at table number five.

Coming to slip. Excuse me.

I don't know, McNally.
You'll be all wrong. Ok.

Night job, old boy.
Everything got to control.

Joe, I'm not going to run you.

I'm not going to run you.

I mean, I'm not going to run you.

Ah, Mr. Sankiyama said it's well-shined.

It's the first time I see him smile.

Wrong time.

You Hancho.

You Hancho.

What means Hancho?

You're speaking.

Butterfly, what means Hancho?

Hancho, me number one boy.

Boss, big boss of Hormab.

Hello, Hancho.

Thank you very much.

That's more like a little
respect around here, huh? See?

Everybody dance.

Hey, Hancho. You're not dance.

Well, I think I better practice
with my chopsticks a little.

I dance.

I dance.

I dance.

I dance.

Everybody dance.

Hey, Hancho. You're not dance.

I think I better practice
with my chopsticks a little.

Well, I dance.

Oh, Mario got full.

Thank you very much.

Oh, look down please.

This is for the old folk.

Let's take a hike up to Mount Fuji, huh?

But, uh-uh-uh.

Remember?

Yes, when they son.

Yes, when they son.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Good evening, Sergeant.

Oh, good evening, sir.

A beautiful evening, sir.

Yes, it is.

Oh, the general is giving a little

reception for some
state-side dignitarism.

Oh, was that so?

Well, I won't keep
you, Sergeant, but if

the general should
leave suddenly, my car.

Oh, thank you, sir. Thank
you very kindly, sir.

Hey, this is mighty pretty
country around here.

This garden is very old.

It doesn't look good now.

For a long time, nobody
to take care of it.

How about your family?
They hit bad by the war.

My uncle Sakiyama lost his money.

My father lost his life in the bombing.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's nice to look when
there are no more airplanes.

Yeah, long hard war.

But it is good not to
have the head anymore.

You're a strange little
character, but very nice.

I'll make a wish for you.

What kind of a wish?

I'll make a wish that you'll not
stay in trouble, because you're good.

And people do not know it.

I'll make a wish that you'll
be happy, because you're not.

Now, there's a keen imagination.

Students, let's start.

Hey, I'm with you. Here we go.

What's up?

What's up?

American type dance. Wanna try?

Oh, no.

It is wrong.

Wrong. Why?

In Japan, boys and girls never
hold each other until they marry.

How did they ever get acquainted
while they have to get married?

Family arranged for that.

We gave that up a hundred years ago.

How about things will
change around here now, too?

Is it good to change that?

Sure. You should only get
married when you're in love.

How does one know what never happens?

Well, you know when you
look at someone's face

and you think it's the most
beautiful face in the world.

Even though it isn't.

Are you know by the way she
feels when you hold her?

Or are you feel when you kiss her?

You kiss girls before you marry?

Yes, it's been known to happen.

How is he gonna know if you like them?

I love them.

These girls you kiss.

You like them all?

Well, I'm prejudiced.

I like every girl that kisses me.

You love any?

Yes. Yes, I did one.

Very much.

Then when you go home, you get to marry?

No.

No, there was a little hitch.

She married somebody else.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

It doesn't always happen that way.

Sometimes people fall
in love and stay in love

and live happily ever after.

If you don't believe it,
just go to the movie.

He would listen.

Excuse me, is your steak ready?

Someone waiting to see me at gate.

Excuse me.

He's quite a guy. Where'd you find him?

Before the world.

He was a number one houseboy here.

Now he's a number one benefactor.

None the Joker.

Never mind the honor of ethics.

I'm looking for a Joe Butterfly.

I'm so, I'm Joe Butterfly.

I'm so intro. What's your deal?

I never met a karaoke T-house.

Tell me you might help
me find living quarters.

Nicey houses.

You course, Patent?

Yes.

You know Yank magazine.

Probably better than anybody
else in the whole world.

How about this place here?

You right, Yank.

Yeah, I'm crazy about Yank.

Now let's talk about this place.

He's big secret, but
since you write so much,

I tell you they work here.

Did you say they work here?

How?

Well, it's very simple
because they rip here also.

I wonder if I, if I could see them.

Why for?

Well, there's something
I've been wanting

to tell them for a long time by my...

I'm a big fan of theirs.

Ah, so?

Yeah.

It's very nice this way, please.

Don't mind it, got them.

Well, what have we here?

Excuse me.

Pat the way, what are you doing here?

I have come to perform
a melancholy duty.

I have come to pay my respects
to your little magazine

as it ends its little career.

Nice surprise, huh?

Don't ever miss.

He's a big, big fan of Yank magazine.

Fan, this guy's a think.

You know, for sure, guts you
guys really take the tank.

Tell them a god that
I said let this good.

He don't eat this good either.

All right, where's the
rest of this stuff?

Uh, what stuff?

Well, the chicken liver patties I
had said all the way from the States

for General Hotfeller.

The Stapholis for Colonel Puller.

And the corn cob piped him.

You know, for any well-wet
stuff, is there any other left?

Just memories, half the way.

How did you public
enemies get a hold of it?

Oh, excuse me, his
package jumped off truck.

Oh, package jumped off truck.

Drive a stuff to pick a
package. Package run a valley.

You really fake.

Well, you know, this really taz it.

Now, wait a minute.

Well, I'm off to see the Colonel.

We have many things to talk about.

Of course, I have to get
my training plan in order.

Gentlemen.

Hale and Farewell.

Woodley.

You're here, too.

Wait a minute, Colonel,
here's about this.

Just a minute, Harold.

Let's make a deal, huh?

Oh, deal.

For the hottest story in Tokyo.

Maybe the biggest scoop of the year.

We had it all sold up, but...

Are you kidding? Nothing will
turn to you over to Fuller.

No, no, wait a minute,
Harold. He's on the level.

This could make you a lot more famous
in that surrender issue of trend.

If this is so hot, how
come you're not using it?

You would go in a unit for
his lead story on Monday.

Yeah, that's right. That's right.
But I'm willing to give it all up

if we can just go to press.

Oh. Well, what is the story?

What is the hottest scoop you
can imagine in Tokyo today?

You.

Tokyo Rose.

Tokyo Rose?

What do you mean you can get her?

Get her. I've got her. That's
why I jumped ship in Yokohama.

And if I hold off, turning you
people over to justice, why?

You turn Tokyo Rose over to me, eh?

And when do I get the story?

Uh, one hour after Yank goes to press.

Now, you don't think I'd make a deal
like that without seeing her, do you?

Oh, you want to see her?

Yeah. All right.

You've come back
tomorrow night at seven.

I don't know.

Oh, now make up your mind, Harold,
because if we're out of business,

we'll sell the story all
right, but not to you.

All right. All right.

Tomorrow.

Seven.

And she had better be here.

Or else...

Well, that doesn't, you clown.

You'll get us all, corp, march.

Where did you come up with such a
hair-brained idea is Tokyo Rose?

Never. Never.

Ta preses.

Ho front page.

Joe bring more big a scoop.

Tokyo Rose?

No, this much harder than Tokyo Rose.

Oshikawa Rikimoto.

Oshikawa Rikimoto.

What is that?

Oshikawa Rikimoto is best
baseball pitcher in Japan.

He saw you.

Pray, boy. Exclusive.

Exclusive for what?

I never saw school.

When New York Yankee
pre-exhibition in 1928,

Oshikawa Rikimoto strike out papers.

Now you got him.

We don't want him.

What did I do?

Trade him in on Tokyo Rose.

Whoa, you guys like Tokyo
Rose very much, huh?

Oh, no, no, no, not at all.

It's just a simple
matter of life and death.

Thanks to you.

Ah, sit there, school.

Maybe she turned out.

You're through.

Good morning, everybody.

Last day, you know.

Gonna be ready?

I can just see the headlines now.

Yank photographer found
horribly murdered.

Emburt, damper, out.

Out.

Hold everything.

Hunt your son, everybody.

Joe Butterfly does it again.

Four-star final.

Presenting Tokyo Rose.

No.

Really?

Are you kidding?

Butterfly, you're terrific.

You're Tokyo Rose?

Certainly.

I just size it.

Boy, it's wonderful to hear
people talking American.

You know, I'm stuck in
this place since 1939.

What kind of a con game are
you trying to pull this time?

This kid is no Tokyo Rose.

I should say not.

Even Leo the Rose should talk like that.

You think I came here to be insulted?

I can't find 100% Tokyo Rose.

I'm not available.

So I hired this lovely young
lady to pull her ass away

until he pulled off her view, ne?

She'll fool him as long as it
takes her to open her mouth.

I beg your pardon.

It just so happens, I was
on the New York state.

Professional.

I played every type of pop.

She's very good actress. It's Yvonne.

I even played a debutante once.

Where was that, Miss Cornel?

It was in like, uh...

Did you like?

The skip was called Floogle Street.

And I did a bubble then.

All right, all right, break it up.

Tokyo Rose, she's more like Gypsy Rose.

Get her out of here.

Who gonna know she's not real McCoy?

We're just fighting bloodhead.
Give the kid a chance.

Suppose half the way falls forward.

What happens when he
turns her over to the CIC?

Cops.

No, no, you leave everything to me.

Butterfly pick her up for whole mess.

I apologize.

I say, so sorry.

Big mistake.

Cops hardly like anything.

Yuckly, yuckly, yuckly.

Call me your lousy name and kick me out.

By that time Yank Magazine
said I cut kicks, ne?

I've had it. I tell
you, I've really had it.

With you, especially, I've had it.

You were born a con man

and you'll be a con man
to the end of your days.

Me?

You!

You're raising your motor.

You butt out of this.

Coming in here with
this minzky character

and trying to palm her off
on me is a genuine article.

Just do me a favor, Butterfly,

and don't do me any favors.

I just try, Sergeant Sun.

You're always trying, Butterfly.

Very trying.

All right, now clear out and
take your friend with you.

Leave friend here.

Maybe I can coach her.

Look, there's work to
be done around here.

We have no choice now.

We've got to go for broke.

She might be able to pull it off.

Okay, you take over.

Uh, now miss...

Terricka Shega-Metzel.

In New York they call me.

Ready, set.

Yeah, I bet they did, honey.

But from now on, you're Tokyo Rose.

Make her sound like it, Mason.

Oh, over, Joe.

You've got comedy.

Sergeant Kennedy not feel good.

He got a problem.

Yeah, big problems.

Oxon trouble.

Ah, maybe we can help him, huh?

I'm sure she'll say he's
not the one to help.

We'll see about that.

Thanks, kid.

Come on, B fly.

I want to see some of
this beautiful country

before I get thrown out of it again.

But you cannot leave.

If people catch you,
you'll be in great trouble.

Woodley Sun, never get in trouble.

Excuse me.

Everybody, Pakistan worried

when they hear GIs come to Tokyo.

Everybody, run from city.

Now they go back, home to Tokyo.

Let us do the same thing, huh?

Hi, hi.

Everywhere, Predorine.

Big question in Japan today,

where next meal is coming from.

Yeah.

There's one problem involved,
Ferguson, at weight.

Anything wrong, sir?

Why have I just got to
see a doctor, Major?

Nerves, fatigue.

I'm beginning to imagine
the perfect strangers

walking along the street
looked like private woodley.

Woodley?

Uh-huh, that's probably nothing.

Maybe if I could lie
down for a little while.

Woodley, where have you been?

Or is that classified information?

Window shopping, sightseeing.

What do you see some nice pictures?

Look, John, I've got problems

enough without you're
making more for me.

You know, I think I
know why the Japanese

are so crazy for cameras.

Because they have one of
the things I voted for.

I'm just before going to press.

I've got no lead story
for my book, and I...

For example, look at some
of the stuff I shot today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice.

Maybe we can find you a
scrapbook to put them in.

And don't you get the overall story?

Look, the war is over.

The Japanese have lost.

Now you see them slowly coming back out,

finding their feet again,

starting to put the pieces together.

If I were putting on a magazine

and make this a picture story,

this is Japan.

This is a country you occupy.

This is what the people are like.

Get to know them.

Because you don't have
to fight them now.

You have to live with them.

That's if you were putting
on a magazine, huh?

Yeah.

Well, you're nuts.

Don't give me that brotherhood routine.

If you've got sweetness
and light to sell,

don't bring it around me.

I'm not in the market.

Sure, Father.

Now you're all right.

The run along and use honorable eyes.

Look where you're going, huh?

Attention!

Once more.

They made me do it.

Yeah, yeah, they made me do it.

Sergeant Kennedy?

Good afternoon, Major.

Oh, Kennedy, this is terror.

Where is he?

Away's who?

Woodley!

John?

Well, don't you remember, sir?

You put him on an APA for the States.

Then he isn't in Japan.

Well, how could he be?

Colonel Fuller thought he saw him.

Well, you know what they
say in the orients, sir.

All Americans look alike.

All right.

Let's try a little slower this time.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean they made me do it.

What's going on in there?

Diction lessons.

Diction lessons?

Playing a little joke
on half the way, sir.

Now, that's another thing
that's got to stop...

Oh, good heavens!

It was you, the Colonel, saw him.

Sir, the shoes.

They're very bad for
the floors around here.

What?

Oh, shoes.

Yes.

Shoes.

Kennedy, how could you?

It wasn't his fault, sir.

He was as surprised as anybody.

You've done us all in
this time, Woodley.

Oh, it's going to be all right, sir.

He's leaving again.

Leaving how the ship's gone?

Yeah, well, we're working
on another little deal, sir.

New shipping orders
from a private source.

Don't tell me...

Don't tell me a thing.

I don't want to know anything.

And I have never seen you, John Woodley.

Never.

Do you understand that?

Sir, you mustn't feel upset with John.

He's just given me an
idea for a lead story.

It's going to be the best
issue we've ever put out.

What kind of an idea?

Starting tomorrow, this country's
going to be crawling with GIs.

They only know the Japanese as an enemy,

so they'll come in hating them.

Nobody was ever born hating anybody.

They have to learn it.

So in our story, we're
going to unlearn our guys

by telling them about the Japanese.

The things we've learned
living here with them.

Things that make them
no different from us.

We thought we'd call it, this is Japan.

That's wonderful.

Thank you, John.

I've got to go someplace
where I can think.

What I really need is our hot bath.

All right, troops.

That's it. Ready for the press.

Sometimes I think I'd rather
cover a democratic convention.

This is hectic enough.

You guys are knocking yourself up.

Maybe I could get you a cup of coffee.

Coffee, tea, a little
Napoleon Brandy, maybe.

Oh, yeah.

Anybody home?

Oh, there's bad news.

I know I'm probably a little early.

A word is premature, Harold.

Well, I just had to see Tokyo Rose.

Not that I just trust
you, you understand?

Mr. Hathaway, Miss Rose,
Miss Rose, Mr. Hathaway.

This is Tokyo Rose.

Wow.

Well, what?

Well, I mean, I didn't expect you
to look just the way she does.

Don't be taken in by
her pretty face, Harold.

Oh, she just confessed
to everything, Harold.

Four years of treason.

That's what I want to hear.

All right, Rosie, take it from the top.

You are an American citizen, aren't you?

But you didn't appreciate it, did you?

You wanted us to lose
the war, didn't you?

You didn't think we would win, did you?

You weren't proud of it.

Did you ever hear anything
as cold blooded as that?

I'd like to hear something from her.

Oh, she'll talk. Go ahead, tell her.

Why did you become a traitor?

They made me do it.

They made me do it.

They made me do it.

Do you need to hear any
more than that, Harold?

Yes, there are several
points I'd like to cover.

They made me do it.

They made me do it.

A little hysterical.

I guess we grilled
her a little too much.

Very emotional, these people.

Now, just a minute, Kennedy, I have
to ask her a lot more questions.

Tomorrow morning.

We'll turn her over to
you then, unless you'd

like to forget about the
whole deal right now.

All right, all right, all right.

First thing in the morning.

Oh, hello, Mr. Halfway.

Just came over to see the boys.

I'll make you a goodbye visit.

Say, congratulations are the good news.

I hope you have a pleasant trip home.

And good luck in your civilian life.

Tomorrow morning.

All right.

What's this about you and civilian life?

Yeah, my application came through.

You know, I got two kids.

That makes me almost a hardship case.

Yeah, well, if you haven't
got Woodlay's travel

orders with you, you
are a hardship case.

I got them all right.

Look, can I have that document back now?
I'm leaving at eight in the morning.

This is a flimsy little number
four priority, the Guam.

Guam?

It's not the season for Guam.

And a four priority?

He'll be sitting out there
at a sugier port for a week.

The fellas, it's the best I could
do. Things are getting awful tight.

Woodlay, the sun is
in the general's eyes.

Oh, yes, sir.

I, Joe Butterfly, party
of the first party.

Fellas, fellas, I give my solomoth only
the brass can get the high priorities.

I wonder what kind of priority
an I and E sergeant gets.

Yeah, I wonder.

Let's see your orders, Hugh Lake.

I haven't got them on me. No, no.

No, no, no, no.

Number two priority all the way
to Hamilton Field, California.

Hugh Lake, you've been joshing with us.

There was a cancellation
on the flight. I swear.

The Colonel had to approve it himself.

You'll make a fine figure
of a staff sergeant.

A pleasant flight, sergeant Hugh Lake.

Thank you. Thank you, Colonel Falker.

No, you can't do it. You
never get away with it.

I'll talk to you later,
private, Woodlay.

Now, let's see. What else do
we need? Oh, yes, a dog tag.

Hey, identification card.

What if I get lost?

Well, well.

Everything you need, sergeant,
Hugh Lake Old Boy, ATC clearance.

Well, even pictures of your
dear wife and two children.

Well, any of you guys got a heart?

Not me. Not Sergeant Oscar, Hugh Lake.

Uh, your travel orders,
private, Woodlay.

They should get you to Guam by
Thanksgiving and the latest.

What am I going to do?

What am I going to hide?

The Colonel thinks I'm leaving.

Oh, I'm sick of it. You don't
look at all well, Woodlay.

People ain't even human.

No, no, I'm not in.
I'm not into anybody.

Sir, Colonel Ford.

Oh, wake up!

Oh, half away.

Colonel, I must have that press by noon.

That press has been assigned
to the Army magazine.

Suppose I had a story of international
importance to civilians and the Army.

It'll have to be an awfully
big story. I can tell you that,

such as the capture of Tokyo Rose.

Oh, sure.

You bring in Tokyo Rose, Harold.

I'll be glad to talk to you.

Very well, Colonel, I'll have her
in your office in the morning.

That'll be just grand, Harold.

One thing, not too early in the morning.

Where was I?

Well, take it easy, Johnny.

Yeah, send us a postcard.

Picture die postcard?

Yeah, but from the United States.

And I?

Meaning Japanese that
10,000 years would listen.

Thanks, Joe.

Let's go.

When you get home, be happy. All me.

I have all my pictures of you.

Every time I look at
them, that'll help some.

Well, how do you say
goodbye in Japanese?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, we can sleep for two days and
the whole rat race starts over again.

Poor guys, I thought you
just could use a cup of java.

Could we not?

Oh, Mason, I told you to get
this stuff off to the printer.

It's not eight o'clock yet, and I'm
going to drink this cup of coffee

if it means carte marshal.

Just don't make a federal
project out of it.

Um, Mac, did you check through
this to see if it's in sequence?

We don't want page 29 to
turn up this front cover.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

No, no, no!

Mason, see if you can catch him.

Why don't?

But, Monelli, call the airfield.

Good morning.

Well, we need it.

Kennedy, there's been a
slight change in my plans,

so I've come to take
Tokyo Rose with me now.

No time to talk about it now.

There's nothing to talk about. She's
my story, and I've come to get her.

Can you come along with me, young lady?

What's she's giving me?
Get your daddy hands off.

What'd she say?

Just make a move at me, and I'll
give it to you as a ride in a mush.

Oh, she always talks like
that when she gets excited.

Oh, trying to pull
the old flim plan, eh?

Trying to ring in a phony Tokyo Rose?

Well, you're not going to
get away with it this time.

So, get him, boys.

Whoa, there's one here.

Oh, here I have your quirk, Marshall!

You would say he...

I took the wrong scrapbook.

Besides, I refused to go anywhere
in the Oscar you allowed.

John, boy, you're back in the club.

Mason, get this over to
the printers on the double.

What do we do with this?

Wrap it up carefully and put it in the
closet with the other summer thing.

We've got lots to do today.

We've got to start infiltrating
back into the barracks.

Splendid.

To really magnificent job.

I'm so glad you like it, sir.

That this is Japan featuring.

It's masterful.

Oh, well, I put my faith
in you and your men,

and you've come through for me again.

I don't mind telling you that hathaway
was giving me quite a problem.

I thought for a while I
might have to give in.

Oh, we knew you wouldn't, sir.

Waking me up in the middle of the
night with some cock and bolster.

He was supposed to be here this morning.

He wasn't waiting outside, was he?

I didn't see anyone out
there, but Hulik, sir.

Hulik. Hulik's gone.

He was out there a minute ago.

He was?

Let's strange.

Hulik. Hulik.

Yes, sir?

What are you still around for?

My travel orders, sir.

They took him away from me.

Who took them?

We'll stop snibbling, man. Speak up.

It all happened so quickly,
sir. I couldn't see.

They jumped me. Five of them.

I could cut a new set
of orders myself there.

That's the most outrageous
thing I've ever heard of.

Flagrant gangsterism.

Give me the military police.

Anarchy. No, no, no, not you.

Hello?

I will not hold on, Captain.
This is Colonel Fuller.

I'll tell you what you can do for me.

My sergeant was assaulted and robbed.

I wouldn't investigate it.

Immediately, that is all.

I don't want to give you some action.

Well, I expected you
immediately, but not this soon.

This is Sergeant Hulik.

Sergeant, tell these men how
you were set upon in the street.

We don't know anything about that, sir.

We're here about the
Yang magazine, people.

They've been missing from the
Berks for three days, sir.

Mark Daywall.

Hey, Wall!

We held off investigating.

We didn't do anything, sir,
because we know these Yang guys.

We read the magazine, and we're sure
they can explain everything, sir.

All is black market, sir.

What do you mean black market?

Well, sir, they've been drawing
rations from every outfit in town.

Lick it from the officer's club, and...

Well, you know, sir, little things.

Little things!

We know these guys, sir.

I'm sure they can explain
if we can find them.

Are you Ferguson?

Where are they?

Sir, they're out of the house.

Close!

This, I want to see.

I'll take care of this myself.

So, the dungeon?

Here you are.

If I wasn't seeing all
this with my own eyes.

What the devil is that?

You had an appointment
with me this morning.

Come here.

Take it easy.

Careful.

Get there.

Dave!

They tied me up!

And they threw me in that cowhole!

They were even discussing
ways of murdering me!

Now, now, you're just overexcited.

I'm sure it's nothing at all,
sir, a prank of some sort.

Nothing at all?

Prank?

I'm about to show you
one of my pranks, Major.

This will be the most spectacular
court-martial, general court-martial,

in the entire history of World War II.

Big pardon, sir.

Counterintelligence, sir.

Ah!

You're not a minute too soon.

I want these men charged
with absence without leave.

Living off limits.

Fraternize.

House brisk.

Black market operation.

Grand and petty loss.

Kidnapped.

Polonious assault.

General disobedience and
the 96th article of war.

Great, sir. That's rather small stuff.

We're after something big.

What?

They took this picture.

Well, have it ever what I know.

It's pretty important, Colonel.

Photographing style is familiar.

I can't seem to place it, though.

The Kennedy.

Yes, sir. Who took this picture?

Who took this picture?

I...

Sir.

I cannot tell a lie.

I did it with my little...

Woody?

Oh, no!

Where'd you take it?

I have this lightest idea.

Thanks, soldier.

The girl in that picture is
one of the real Tokyo roses.

We were so many different places.

If we find this girl, his whole
outfit will probably be decorated.

Decorating.

Now, look, think woodland.

Think hard.

Where did you shoot it?

I could have been almost anyway.

Oh, no, you mustn't talk that way.

You've got to remember.

We could capture Tokyo Rose.

Oh, hi, I'm Isabelle.

Good morning, everybody.

I want you to meet the little...

That's the girl in the
picture, all right?

We've captured Tokyo Rose.

You're right.

Who let him in?

All set?

We are screening at the starting gate.

Let's be off and running.

Yeah, before full of changes is mine.

Goodbye, Czechosan.

Goodbye, Czechosan.

Time for us again, John.

Sayonara.

Not Sayonara, T.A. Corsan.

Jamata.

What means Jamata?

It means, in English, I shall return.

I just bet he will too.

Kind of hate to leave the old place.

Wonder what's going to
happen to all our cousins.

Don't worry about it.

It's a $600,000 month
to keep up expenses.

European plan.

You bring on food.

Goodbye, John.
