You're crazy.
He's too big.

You'll get murdered.

What's the fight about?

Fatso talks too much.

What'd he say?

What'd he say?

Is Benson the reason

why you have to go
to principal's office?

Guy, you in trouble again?
You'll get clobbered.

He's got his Jap friends
with him.

You want us to take 'em,
Benson?

Nah. Leave 'em alone.

You stink.

Blabbing to the cops.

Me?

Me tell the law you're the jerk
that broke into the market

just to steal
a few lousy potatoes?

Why, that kind of action ain't
worth talking to nobody about.

Hey.

How'd it go
in the principal's office?

BOY 1:
Come on, grab him! Get him!

Yeah, come on.
Hit him in the face!

BOY 2:
Hey, look.

A fight.

BOY 1: Hit him in the face!

BOY 3: Get up, Guy.

[BOYS SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Hit him! Hit him!

Get him!

Cut it out.

I ought to murder you,
you fat stoolie.

What's the matter
with you two now?

Go on, get out of here.

You and your Jap friends.

[BELL RINGING]

Beat it,
all of you.

Why'd you let him
get into this?

Me? I didn't do nothing.
I told him he'd get clobbered.

Go on home.

Holy cow.
It wasn't my fault.

I'll see you at home.
I wanna talk to you.

There's nothing
to talk about.

Look, here, wipe
the blood off your face.

Come with me
while I change my clothes

and I'll drive you home.

I don't want no drive home.

I'll give you a choice,
either home or juvenile hall.

I've seen juvenile hall before.
It don't scare me.

It's a good start on something
that can: San Quentin.

Now, come on.

Those your books?

Well, pick 'em up.
They're city property.

Big deal.

I said, pick 'em up.

You can't tell me
what to do.

Pick 'em up!

Thanks for the ride.

What's the trouble, Guy?
Fighting all the time.

And some worse things
I've heard about.

I don't care
what you've heard.

I don't care
what anybody's heard.

These are rough times
for a lot of people.

Not enough jobs,
people on relief.

Everybody's got problems.

Is that why you broke
in the market last night?

Things so bad
you have to steal?

I didn't say I stole.
Benson said it.

[*]

What are you doing?

Going in with you.
I've never met your folks.

I don't want you to go in.

[CHUCKLES]
I won't embarrass you.

I won't tell them anything
about that market. Come on.

You stay out of my house!

Please, please.
Don't go in.

Where's your mother?

In the hospital.

How long's she been there?

They took her away
last Wednesday.

And your father?

I-- I got no father.
He's dead.

You living here all alone?

I can take care of myself.
I do all right.

Come on.

You come with me.

You can't go on living this way.

Roaming around loose,
stealing your food.

It's no good, Guy.

Now, go pack some clothes.

You'll bunk up with George
for a few days.

I'm not taking anything
from anybody.

You won't be taking anything
from my family

that they don't want
to give you.

Now, come on,
pack some clothes.

[*]

GEORGE:
Hi.

Hi.

Guy's mother's
in the county hospital.

He'll stay with us
until she gets well.

Say, that's great!

Can he sleep in my room?

That's the idea.

Hey, we'll have a ball.

Except, uh--

I'm real sorry
about your mother.

Come on.

See you in a minute, Guy.

[WOMAN HUMMING FAINTLY]

Mama?

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

You have come here well.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

My mother means
you're welcome.

[GIGGLES]
Yes. Welcome.

Thank you, Mrs. Une.

Our parents don't
speak much English.

Guess you'll have to start
learning Japanese, Guy.

Heck, I'm just barely getting by
in seventh grade English.

Hey, come on, Guy.
I'll show you our room.

[HUMMING]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Hey, hurry up.
The breakfast ready.

Oh, is that what she said?

She said good morning to you.

What do you usually have
around here for breakfast?

Raw fish and rice.

Chilled pigeon eggs.

Raw?

Yesterday it was octopus.

If we're lucky,
there'll be some left.

Mm. Delicious.

Especially with that sauce
made from fish eyes.

Fish eyes?

[HUMMING]

[LAUGHING]

What did you think we eat
around here?

Even if Papa and Mama aren't
citizens, Kaz and I are.

We're Americans.
All of us.

Yeah, not as dumb as me.

Osato.

Osato?

Oh, sugar is osato.

Gyunyu.

Gyunyu.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Make you all-America boy.

Ah-- Ah-so.

Already all-America boy.

No need cereal.

Oh, tell your mom
I didn't mean that.

I like this kind of cereal
best of all.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Hai.

Pop says
he hope you slept okay.

Oh, yes, sir.
Just fine.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[*]

Jidousha.

Automobile is jidousha?

Is that for taxi too?

No, taxi is takushii.

Takushii.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

What'd you say?

That means
you're doing very well.

You're joto. Okay.

Joto. Okay.

I like that.

[SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[REPEATS IN JAPANESE]

Yeah.

[SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Hoki.

Broom is hoki.

A vacuum cleaner
would be easier and better.

This is a carpet sweeper.

[SPEAKS IN JAPANESE]

I know what it is in Japanese.
You say it in English.

Carpet sweeper.

Carpet-o sweeper.

Yes, that's good.

Now, if we'd had a motor--
Uh, mortar.

--it would be a vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum clean?

Er. Vacuum cleaner.

Er? Vacuum cleaner.

[LAUGHS]
Yes.

Now, uh, this is--

In-- In Japanese it's a hoki,

but in English it's a broom.

A broom.

Yes.
You teach me.

That's a mado,

but in English
it's a window.

Window.

[MOUTHS]
Window.

Yeah.

Why didn't you ever help
your mother learn English?

Gosh, I don't know.

Uh, this is a broom.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, boy, you teach me.

George, uh, work's all done.
How 'bout some basketball?

Sure.
Let's go.

Oh.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[*]

Guy, come on.

His mother?

She's-- She's dying.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Can this be his home?

Hai. Yes, his home.

Come.

I tell you story.

Very old.

It is...

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

An ancient legend.

All Japanese boy know.

You learn too now.

Once upon a time,

to wash clothes.

In river large peach

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Old woman take peach home

and peach open up

Beautiful boy.

Old woman and husband

Peach Boy.

Hm.

Soon, Peach Boy grow big
and strong.

He want to go...

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

KAZ:
He wants to conquer

Devil's Island.

Is there really such a place?

Mm.

So the legend goes.

Soon...

And he see big chief

and fight.

And kill him.

They very scared.
Give up.

And then Peach Boy

What was that treasure
that made 'em so happy?

Ai.

Aijou.

Ai.

Love.

Yes, love.

I do love you, Mama-san.
I love you very much.

[*]

I've listened to that Peach Boy
story a hundred times before

and never knew
what treasure really was.

Because, my brother,
you've always had it.

GUY:
Come on.

That's it.

Come on.
Hey, George.

Hey, George.

GEORGE: Coming.

Like, this thing's still loose.

I think you'll have to take it
to the filling station

to let Mike fix it.

What's the matter?
Why aren't you dressed?

You'll be late.

Well, we'll skip coffee
if we have to.

I thought you told me this is
a very important morning.

It is.

But darn it, Guy,
I'm afraid that she'll say no.

Oh, are you nuts?

All you have to do
is take a look at her

when you're around,
it tells the whole story.

I wish I were that sure.

Well, all you're gonna do
is ask her to go steady.

But I can't get
the words out.

I've tried
a hundred times.

The words just stick
in my throat.

Do me a favor?

Sure, I'll do you a favor.
What do you want me to do?

Take the car to Mike's--

No. You take Ester
to coffee and church.

Find out how I really stand,
will you?

Well, now, I just might
not come back.

I might take her
to the preacher myself.

Thanks, pal.

Okay, here.

I'll, uh, wrap some wire
around this while you change.

Yeah.

And take a fast shave
while you're at it.

Oh, yeah. Gee, I can't go
to bat for my brother

looking like a nothing,
can I?

[CHUCKLES]
Yeah.

[UPBEAT JAZZ PLAYING
OVER RADIO]

So that's why I came to pick you
up instead of George.

He hasn't got
a headache.

And you want my answer?

Yeah.

George is a big boy.
Why can't he speak for himself?

Oh, well, you know George.
He's shy, and he--

Oh, maybe you'll have
a change of mind

when I ask you
in church, huh?

Hey, how about
a little breakfast?

Oh, fine.

Anything you want
up to 40 cents.

[SCOFFS]

You're really a big spender,
aren't you?

Well, that--
That date of mine last night

cleaned me out, you know.

So suffer.

That's what you get for going
out with girls like that.

Oh, well, now that's a fine way
for my future sister-in-law

to talk to me.
Now--

[HORN HONKS]

MAN [ON RADIO]: One moment.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we interrupt this program

to bring you a special
news bulletin.

Yeah, that's me honking.
How 'bout a little service, huh?

The Japanese have attacked
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by air...

Hey, Jap lover.

How's it feel being out
with the enemy?

Are you talking to us?

Come on.
Leave 'em alone.

What do you mean, leave 'em
alone? That broad's a Jap.

Hey, punk. What are you doing
out with a Jap broad?

Well, well,
now just a minute.

No, no, no, Guy. Don't. Please.
Let's just go someplace else.

Come on, Johnny, now,
knock it off, will you?

Wait a minute, Johnny.
Wait a minute.

[SOBBING]
Oh, please.

MAN:
Come on, take it easy!

Stop it! Break it up!

Come on, now.
Take it easy, will ya?

Take it easy?
Did you hear what he said?

MAN:
Well, what do you expect?

That's what I mean.
This bum making cracks

at that girl for no reason.

Wait, listen to this,
will ya?

MAN [ON RADIO]:
At least 2000 Americans

have been killed
by Japan's sneak attack.

The great fear of the moment

is that more Jap bombers may
be even now on their way...

If you got any sense, you'll get
that girl off the street

and out of sight right now.

From what meager information
we've been able to get

from radio reports,

extensive damage has been
wrought on Hickam Field.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT [ON RADIO]:
No matter how long

it may take us

to overcome
this premeditated invasion,

the American people
in their righteous might

will win through
to absolute victory.

[CROWD CHEERING ON RADIO]

I ask

that the congress declare

that, since the unprovoked

and dastardly attack

by Japan

on Sunday, December 7th

1941,

a state of war

has existed

between the United States

and the Japanese empire.

[CROWD APPLAUDING ON RADIO]

[RADIO SHUTS OFF]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

We're at war for sure, men.
What should we do about it?

I think we ought to join
the Army as fast as we can.

Are you guys crazy?

Crazy? Didn't you hear
the president?

Well, sure I heard him.
So what?

Enlisting in the Army's nuts.
We'd be fighting our own people.

They're not our kind.

Who knows? They might be coming
here to L.A. next.

Sneaking up on us,
just like at Pearl Harbor.

Freddy, where's the closest
place to join up?

Fort MacArthur, I think.

Let's get going
before the war's over.

Yeah.

Coming with us, Guy?

[SCOFFING]

You don't think I'm gonna let
you go by yourselves, do you?

Never passed up
a good fight yet.

George,

do you fellas know
what you're doing?

You heard her. She's asking
if we know what we're doing.

Do we know what we're doing?

Just have the coffee ready
for us when we get back.

Yeah, we might even
be back in uniform.

Come on, Kaz,
let's take off.

Where you going?

We're going to Fort MacArthur
to join up.

You're wasting
your time.

What do you mean?

I was down there yesterday.

I tried to enlist,
and they laughed at me.

You'd think we're spies
or something.

They don't want any of us.

They might accept Guy,
but not you two.

Well,

they don't want
my brothers,

than the hell with 'em.

[*]

I don't care what you say,
it stinks.

The whole thing stinks.

Oh, Guy, please don't.
Don't blame them.

They're only following orders.

Suppose they haven't told you
where they're taking you?

Santa Anita,
the assembly center.

Then a relocation camp.

No. Concentration camp's
what you mean.

Whatever or wherever it is,
we'll all be the same there.

And if they throw rocks
in our window

or scream dirty names, it won't
be because we're Japanese.

You're not, you're Americans.
That's what I'm talking about.

Other Americans
don't seem to think so.

WOMAN:
Ester.

Goodbye, Guy.

Goodbye, Ester.

I don't want us to be lost,
separated.

We may be sent
to different camps.

We'll find each other.

We'll write.

GEORGE: Here we come.

Okay.

There we are.

Wow. We look like those refugees
in the newsreel, huh?

[CHUCKLES]
Yeah.

Well, so long, Guy.

I'll be seeing you.

Sure, in a couple
of weeks or so.

It's really been good bunking
with you. You know that.

I know.
Stay on the beam, buddy.

Okay. You too.

[PAPA SPEAKING
IN JAPANESE]

Well, this is it, Guy.

Hey, Kaz,
let me ask you something.

Now, the wheels running this war
gotta needle everybody

who once maybe came
from someplace else.

Now how 'bout all the Germans,
all the Italians in America too.

Can't answer that, Guy.

Right or wrong,
our government's doing

what they think is right.

No one bats a thousand.
Well, good luck, kid.

Good luck to you, Kaz.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Oh, I carry it.

Hai. Dozo.

I will miss my home.

I'll miss it too, Mama-san.

All-America boy,

you good son to me.

Oh, Mama-san,

how can I ever thank you
for all you've done for me?

Sayonara, my son.

Sayonara.

[*]

[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

You want a beer?
I'll give you a beer.

Just take it easy.
Take it easy.

All right, take it easy.
Just take it easy.

MAN:
Did you order me a beer?

BARTENDER:
You want a beer?

Sit down!

MAN 2:
Who are you pushin', huh?

[*]

Sorry, son.
You've got a perforated eardrum.

GEORGE:
Dear buddy, by the time

you read this,

Kaz and I will be on our way
to Fort Meade and overseas.

Address, A.P.O. 449, New York.

Kaz and I spent a couple
of days

with the folks before
being shipped.

They miss you very much, Guy.

Because of Pop's health,

the authorities are
transferring them

to Camp Manzanar
in California.

Everybody's on the move, huh?
Better write, you bum.

We want to hear that
everything's okay with you.

Your brother, George.

P.S. Phoned Ester
to say goodbye.

I started to propose to her
over the phone,

but got cold feet.

[*]

[HUMMING]

Konbanwa.
[GASPS]

Son Guy. Oh!

Oh, Mama-san.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Oh, and I'm sure glad
to be here.

You look wonderful, Mama-san.
Wonderful.

How is Papa? Is the California
sun helping him?

Oh, help much.

He work in field now.
Soon be here.

Did you see camp?

Uh, yeah,
a little bit of it.

What I saw looked better
than I expected.

Not so nice at first.

All dirt and mud.

No flowers.
Mm.

We worried about you.

Not hear from you.

We wait and wait.
For letter.

For visit.

Yeah. I-- I, uh--

Well, you know, I was traveling
around here and there, and...

Well, now that you're
a lot closer, why, it's--

Hey!

Are these two heroes
anybody I know?

MAMA:
Oh, they fight in Italy now.

But daijoubu last we hear.

Daijoubu.

I wish to God it was over
so they'd be safe.

Son Guy, safe?

Hm?

Oh, sure.

Sure, I'm safe,

but you must miss them
awful much, Mama-san.

Oh, I cries at night,

but must be,
to straighten out this mess.

Son George teach that word.
It's good word, no?

[CHUCKLES]
That's a real good word.

Oh, it sure is a mess.

Sons, all-America boys.

And mess,
no more mess ever.

We live happy.

Happy?

But how can you be happy?

Everything you and papa-san
ever worked for is gone.

Oh, true...gone.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Once before we sit so.

Mmm, I know.

It was a long time ago,
wasn't it?

Mother...

father of Une family
work hard all lives.

Want to build...

good...

good...

Foun--? Foundation?

Oh, hai, hai.

Good foundation...

for future.

Not many years left

for old people
to build again.

Sons must build.

Kaz, George, Guy

must build home again,

must build world again,

must end mess.

All papa-sans, mama-sans,

all countries,
all over the world

is same.

This you believe?

What--? What difference
does it make

what one man believes it does?

One man must believe,
must make difference.

Why else Kaz, George
go far away across ocean

to kill men look
like brother they love?

Mama-san...

are you saying
that it's all right

for me to go to war
against the Japanese?

[DOOR OPENS]

[PAPA SPEAKING

[GUY LAUGHS]

Papa-san!

[BOTH SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Ah, you big fellow.

Oh, not so big, Pop.

Guy-san,
what you do all this time?

Oh, now, never mind about me.
I wanna know about you.

How do you feel?
You look great.

Oh, I feeling great.

Eat like horse.
Horse?

Got plenty of hay

Horse. Hay.
Ha-ha-ha!

Mama-san eat a whole-- Whole--

Uh, bale?

Ah-so, so, Bale.

Punctual.

[WHISTLES]

Punctual.

George teach.
Good word?

Oh, that's a great word.

[LAUGHS]

Come.
We eat three bales hay.

GUY:
Ha-ha! Three bales.

Captain?
Yes.

There's a man outside,
says he wants to enlist.

But he's been turned down
by his own draft board.

What's he doing here?

Well, he says he speaks
and understands Japanese.

Send him in.
We need interpreters.

Yes, sir.

[SIGHS]

The captain will see you now.

Oh.

Captain Salter,
Mr. Gabaldon.

Sit down, please.

Thank you.

BILL:
Go left. Go left.

Right, back, ho.

Go left. Go left.

Step to the rear, ho.

Go left.

Go left, right, left.

Hurry up, ho.

Left, left,

left, for your left.

Don't that joker know any orders
besides that one?

Left, ho.

To the rear, ho.

Left oblique, ho.

Halt. Halt!

Hold up. Halt.

All right, let's fall in there
on the double.

Move it!

Gabaldon,
front and center!

Gabaldon!

Now, can't you get it
through your head

what oblique means?

Oh, now, look, sarge--

You're at attention!

I come into this outfit
to talk to the enemy,

not to footrace
with 'em.

Now, let's go through it
once more, boot.

In the Marines,
it's "sergeant,"

not "sarge."

It is never "sarge,"
you got it?

In the Marines you fight.
F-I-G-H-T.

I don't care if you're
a cook or a typist

or an interpreter.

I don't care if you got a busted
back or a busted eardrum.

You're gonna fight.
You can take my word for it!

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

Fall in!

MAN:
Your left, your left,

your left, right, left.

Straight that barn out.

One, two. Ho!

Left!

Huh!

[EXPLOSIONS]

These things don't weigh
very much, do they?

Well, you just kinda take it
and throw it like a football,

put it right
on the target.

That's right,
isn't it, sarge?

That's not bad,
Gabaldon.

That's not bad at all.

But next time, pull the pin.

The idea is to kill the Japs.

[*]

Next man.

What's the matter with you?

There'll be times
when you'll find

that your hands
are your only weapons.

Now, if I can have
a volunteer,

I'll demonstrate
the first jujitsu holds.

Is he gonna
be surprised.

This is the first
basic position.

[*]

[ALL LAUGH]

And now
for the second position.

Well, I guess I really asked
for that one, didn't I?

Hey, you wanna try
for the third position?

I don't know,
I just don't know.

Three days
and I get no place.

This filly
won't go to post

without a slip
from the preacher.

I tell this babe
I'm being shipped overseas,

just so I'll make out.

Didn't expect orders
to break camp for us

the minute we get back.

How'd you do, Mac?

Hmm? Oh!

Mission accomplished.

Did you do all right, hero?

Are you kidding?

[SNAPS FINGERS]

Got a different one every night.

It's a good thing the Corps
keeps me in good shape.

I'd be up
for another Purple Heart.

Next time, buddy, I'm taking
my liberty with you.

Well, that's the way it goes.

Some guys got it...

[SNAPS FINGERS]

...some guys ain't.

[SNAPS FINGERS]

BILL:
Let's saddle up

and move outta here.

Anybody know
where we're goin'?

Scuttlebutt
has it Hawaii.

We're replacements.

GUY: What for?

You'll find out
when the ship hits port.

A ship.
I get seasick taking a bath.

Come on, let's move!
Let's get outta here.

Come on, let's move!

Fall in!

[*]

"Intelligence section,

Second Marine,
Second Division."

Pretty good outfit
to be with?

Second is one
of the "bleedingest."

Hey, Bill,
isn't that your old outfit?

Yeah,
right from the beginning.

You mean, uh,
the canal beginning?

Yeah, Guadalcanal,
till I got it on Tarawa.

Where'd you get it, Pete?

Some eager boot like you
thought I was a Jap

and stuck his bayonet
into me.

Oh, that, uh,
is sort of a running gag.

Guy, uh--
Actually Junior, here,

got it from a sniper
on New Britain.

Where that BB hit, I don't think
it'll ever stop itchin'.

Where did it hit?

Where the hell do you think
you gotta get hit

for a Purple Heart?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Well, I'm glad at least
I belong to somethin',

even if it is an outfit
with a couple of tin heroes.

[*]

I didn't know they had
obstacle courses for trucks.

[*]

This is it,
you five.

Hey, are you sure this
is the right place?

It looks like a beach club
to me.

It's a club, all right.
Very exclusive.

The members have fought
in action in every island

of the Pacific, boot.

Come on, let's go.

That must be
our replacements.

They're real fresh. Wonder
if they're seasoned, Lenny.

Two old men
and three boots.

Kinda hard to know
who to salute around here.

You can forget about that.
I'm Sergeant Leonard.

GUY:
Private Gabaldon.

Don't get the wrong idea
about that either.

We earn our pay.

Come on,
I'll take you to the skipper.

Leave your gear outside, men.

The replacements
are here, sir.

Good. Bring 'em in, sergeant.

Sergeant Hazen reporting
as ordered, sir.

Corporal Lewis reporting
as ordered, sir.

Sir, Private Gabaldon reporting
as ordered, sir.

Sir, Private Polaski
reporting as ordered.

Sir, Private Martini
reporting as ordered, sir.

Stand at ease.

Good to have you
aboard, men.

Welcome back
to the Second Division, Hazen.

How was
the vacation?

Things got a little too quiet
for me, sir.

I'm glad to be back.

Lewis, how's it going?

Says here you were shot
in the ashcan?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Not bad, sir.

It could have been
with a howitzer.

Gabaldon. Speak Japanese, eh?

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

I get only part of that,
but my Japanese is just so-so.

Where'd you learn
the language?

Well, I learned it
from my family

and kids in the neighborhood
when I was growing up.

Polaski, Martini.
Fine boot records, men.

I need all the good men
I can get.

Well, now, officially, we're
part of Regimental Headquarters,

R2 in
the organization charts.

But in action,
we're always so far in front,

we don't have much contact
with headquarters.

Well, now...

I make it loud and clear

that I got the best
and toughest collection

of specialists
in the whole Corps.

Now, you make sure you don't
let anybody think differently.

Sergeant Leonard will fix you up
with 48 hours liberty.

Enjoy yourselves,
men.

It might be
your last time ashore.

That'll be all, sir?

Yeah. Carry on.

Aye, aye,
sir.

[JAZZ PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Man, what a dirty joint
that was.

It's worse
than the last three we hit.

They charge you a buck a drink
and nothin' happens.

I don't think they put booze
in the booze.

What do you say we get
a bottle someplace?

Where are the dames?

There's gotta be three broads
lookin' to have a ball.

Here, chick-chick.

Are you kidding?

There are 10 guys
for every dame in Honolulu.

[LAUGHING]

Now, there's a gal who hopes
the war will never end.

You know those swabbies.
They'll kiss a snake

if somebody will
hold it for 'em.

[LAUGHS]

That's what old daddy's
been looking for.

Oh, shake it, baby.

"Visit a genuine,

authentic Hawaiian
village."

That bus doesn't leave
for a couple of hours.

Let's take a taxi.

Yeah, let's take a taxi.

There's one right there.

[WHISTLES]
Wait a minute,

wait a minute.

I'll go make a deal
with him.

Okay, all you pretty
little babies,

get your grass skirts on.

Hey, uh, buddy,
you wanna take us

to that genuine Hawaiian village
over there?

Sure, Mac.

Where can I get some whiskey,
good whiskey?

Whiskey's hard to come by.

Shh. Not so loud.

That's a brand-new .45.

I stole it off the base
this morning.

Interested?

Well you can get plenty
for it.

Now, it's still got
the Cosmoline and wax paper

wrapped around it.

I'll trade it for three quarts--
And I mean good, now.

Three quarts
of good whiskey.

Okay?

Only don't tell them guys
'cause they're square.

[WHISTLES]

Hey!

[WHISTLES]

Be my guest.

Hey, uh...

you mean this
is the Hawaiian village?

Yeah. Look,
you wait up there

and I'll see
what I can do.

You mean
this is the place?

What about
the hula dolls?

Where are the broads
with the skirts

shaking their gazoombas?

Hey, we've been took.

Hey, what's
with the boot?

Watch your language.

What's with the bright boot?

Bonded, just like
the Officers' Club.

Where's the pistol?

Oh, uh--

All right,
you're both under arrest.

I warned you
about this.

C.I.D. Criminal Investigating
Division.

But--

We finally caught you
with the goods, that right?

You've been trading booze for
stolen property.

I didn't.

You know what we do to civilians
who deal in contraband?

They get years, that's
if we don't shoot 'em first.

This kind of guy,
we hang.

I got a wife and kids.
I didn't--

Look, we got the information
that you're the top guy

in this outfit
that's been receivin'

all this stolen property.

No, I just drive a cab.

Tell him. Please tell him
it was your idea.

Oh, let him go.
He don't know nothin' about it.

You got me.
What more do you want?

Well...all right.

I gotta keep this
as evidence.

Please let me go.

All right.
Get outta here.

[GRUNTS]

Hmm. Will you look at all
the beautiful booze?

You know, buddy,
not only are you a good buddy,

but you're also
an A-number-one con man.

That's a very rare
and valuable combination.

Thank you, sir.

And now,

for the broad
department.

[JAZZ PLAYING]

GUY:
Thank you. Thank you.

Beachhead
established, sir.

Right-o, sir.

Well, here's looking at--

At, uh...

Hello there,
Madame Butterfly.

How would you like
to, uh...

Sorry,
no speak English.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

PETE:
Don't let her get away.

You talk her language,
see if she talks ours, huh?

If he can handle the dames
like he can get the liquor,

whoo-hoo!

We're gonna have a ball.

Yeah,
the Iron Petticoat.

Do you know her?

Yeah, I know her.

Half the guys
on the island know her.

Well, listen,
I'm just passing through,

but how 'bout just
a little introduction, huh?

Eh, Pete, you remember
the football game

we played with Navy--?

Don't change the subject.
Just introduce me--

I'm changing the subject.
What was the score?

Nothing to nothing.
There was no score.

That is my point.

She's a writer for a magazine
back in the States.

She writes about
how, uh,

everyone
should give their all

to the serviceman.

She just doesn't practice
what she preaches,

that's all.

What a waste.

Forget her. Half the guys
in the Corps got a Purple Heart

from bumpin' their heads up
against the Iron Petticoat.

Maybe it's time for, uh,
her to get a Purple Heart.

How 'bout
introducing me, huh?

What do you say?
Introduce me. Come on.

No deal.

I'm not wasting a good liberty

on Operation Petticoat.

Get her for me.

Old Dad's got a technique
that will cut through that iron

like it was tissue paper.
Come on.

Please,
for your buddy.

All right, buddy.
I'll see what I can do.

Go, man.

SHEILA:
For the last time,

will you please keep
your clammy hands to yourself?

Baby, just one little kiss,
huh?

Hi.

Sheila?

My name's, uh, Bill Hazen.

You did a story on me
about a year ago,

then we went dancing.

If I know our Sheila,
that's all you did.

Oh, yes, of course.
How are you?

Just fine.

Okay, Marine,

I suppose you're gonna try
to steal my date.

Ignore him, sergeant.
He's drunk.

Well, I'm not gonna
let you.

Well, look, eh,
mister--

I'm going to give her to you
as a gift.

Now, look here,
you can't treat me as if I'm--

Temper.

A horrible thing to do

to one
of our fighting men.

Iron Petticoat.

I'm so ashamed.

Uh...drink?

Yes.

Honey!

GUY:
So, what we plan to do is,

when you get off work,

then it'll be
about a half an hour...

That's my buddy.

What have you been doing,
Sheila?

Oh, a great many things.

But I'm leaving shortly
for Australia.

Australia.

Well, that's--
That's nice.

Psst.

Oh, that's very nice.

Hey, what did you guys ever do
before I enlisted?

Listen, tell me,
what's up?

Well, she's gonna get off
in a half an hour.

Then you and Bill are gonna
flip for the roommate.

She got a roommate?

Yeah.

Oh, great. Well, uh, ahem,
what's with the roommate?

Well, sounds great.

She's a dancer
from San Francisco.

They've got
their own apartment.

They got
their own apartment?

And we're gonna
meet 'em there.

We don't have to flip.
Look, Bill's got his own date.

[WHISTLES]
Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you what,
you go tell him

that you and I
are cuttin' out.

No, no, you go tell him

because Sono told me
where to get some booze.

From the looks of things,
we're gonna need it.

See you later.

See you later.

Hey, Pete. Pete, this is,
uh, Sheila Lincoln.

Sheila,
this is Pete Lewis.

Hi.

You've heard me speak
of Sheila.

I sure have.

Yeah, well, Sheila's magazine

is sending her to Australia.

Oh.

Well, that's if I can get
a seat on the plane.

I have a very
low priority though.

Oh, I wouldn't
say that.

Yeah, well,
what he means to say is

he's been dying to meet you,
haven't ya, Pete?

Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry I can't stay
and chat with you.

You see,
Guy and I have a date

with a couple
Japanese chicks, huh?

I'll see ya later.

Yeah, we're going--

Uh, we're going
over to their apartment.

Well, I'll see ya later,
Bill.

Yeah, uh, Pete, uh--
Stay awhile.

Uh, look,
uh, Sheila,

uh, why don't we go along?

Be a lot more fun
than a bar or restaurant.

What kind of fun can you have
in an apartment?

She serious?

Look at it
this way, Sheila.

You can get a lot of local color
for your magazine,

isn't that right, Pete?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I can see it now,
a Sheila Lincoln exclusive:

"I Saw Our Fighting Men
in Action."

No?

[SWING MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKER]

Hey, Pete,
will you turn around?

I can look at youse
any day.

Don't you ever think
of anything else?

Not lately, honey.

Hey, Sono, honey,

you don't have
to wait on us, honey.

I'm not.

Just want everybody
to have a good time.

Okay, honey.

Honey.

Everybody is
"honey" to you.

Oh, go, girls,
go, go, go.

Don't you men realize
all a girl wants is respect?

Well, excuse me, ma'am.

Hey, go, Pete! Go.

Hey, honey, go, go!

BILL:
Hey, that's it, Pete!

Go, honey!

Never run out of ice
as long as that dame's around.

Oh, you're mean.

I don't get it.

She's got all
the standard equipment,

she's got the extras.

Comes off the line
without a motor.

She's got the motor.

The man with the right key
hasn't shown up yet.

I wouldn't mind.

BILL:
Yeah, baby!

You'd leave
little old Sono?

Oh, no, I wouldn't leave
little old Sono.

I wouldn't want hara-kiri
on my conscience.

Don't flatter yourself.

After all the trays
I've carried tonight,

I want somebody
as tired as me.

Like that one.

Let's go, soldier.

Oh, I've had it, honey.

[CHUCKLES]

What's the matter, Pete?
Did you run out of--

[SNAPS FINGERS]

I don't know.
I don't know, honey.

But if I've got anything left,

I'm gonna save it
for something important, okay?

Let's catch
our breath, huh?

You catch your breath.

I ain't quitting
while I'm ahead.

BILL:
Go, baby!

Hey, let's go, Famika.
Go, honey.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, now, that's what
we're really fighting for.

Not Ma's apple pie.

Hey, she's the greatest,
right, Gabby?

Great.

She should be.

She was the best stripper
in San Francisco.

No kidding.

[WHISPERS]
Stripper?

Hey, Peter!

Famika's a stripper!

What?

Famika's a stripper.

A stripper?

Yeah.

For real, baby?

Are you impressed?

Oh.
I sure am, honey.

I'm glad.

Hey, Famika, honey,
come on, come on.

Let's have
a little show, huh?

Down, boy.
It's my night off.

Besides, it might offend
your lady friend.

BILL:
Who? Sheila?

Oh, Sheila wouldn't mind.

You wouldn't mind,
would you, honey?

Of course you wouldn't!
I knew you wouldn't.

Ah, we're gonna have
a little striptease.

No, you'll never attract
customers that way.

Here, let me
show you.

And now, folks,

may I present
the queen of burlesque,

Famika.

Famika's going to shake it
from the tips of her toes

to the tops
of her tiny tassels.

Hey, move it, honey.
Move it for me.

Come on, Famika.

Fire one! Ha-ha.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Come on, shake it, shake it.

BILL:
Come on, Famika,

move it.

Go, baby.

Now, that is not a boy.

Hey, go, Famika, go.

Attababy.

Go, baby, go.

Go, honey.

Now, that's
what I call art.

I've seen better.

Well, evidently you've been
around a lot more than we have.

If anybody asks you,
I went that way.

Hey, how 'bout that?

I've got a front row seat
and I'm not even bald. Ha-ha.

You gotta change
your seat, buddy.

Your girl's getting lonesome.

Your girl's

That's my girl,

catching cold.

Now, buddy, you're--
You're forgetting.

Remember,
"Get her for me, buddy"?

"I'll cut through that
like tissue paper."

I was only kidding.

Yeah, well I'm not.

So if you wanna be
a buddy, buddy,

change your seat,

Come on, honey, go!

Go.

Come on,
take off a little more.

You're cute, honey,
but the show's over.

Oh, well, come on, honey,
come on over here.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

Well, did ya like
the show?

You call that a show?

Well, yeah.

Come here.

Hm. Yeah.

Hey, Marine,

Yeah.

from an old campaigner?

Deal the cards.

Oh, you're kidding.

You want that?

Then turn around

so she doesn't want them.

Show her someone
she can't have.

While those guys are--

There's a time

You're right.

We've got the time

The time, yes.

Gin rummy.

At least let's make it
interesting.

What'll we play for?

I wish I was smart enough
to cheat.

Don't worry.

I'm always unlucky.

We're still dancing.

Don't you ever change
the music?

Hm. Music.

Great bunch of Marines.
Oh, boy.

Three gorgeous chicks

One guy's dancing,

other guy's playing
gin rummy

killed in action

leaves behind him
a friend like you...

who'll remember
him forever.

He be well soon,

They engaged by mail.

Son Kaz stay yet
in Italy and be hero.

We very proud of you.

You hero too.

It is good what you write
of the little girl.

And the old man
and women.

To live in cave
much worse than a camp.

Not so?

Let everyone pray.

Soon all war be over.

No more mess.

We be together again,

happy, laughing.

Sons give
many grandchilds.

Nobody enemy anymore.

I now hug you
with love.

Mama-san.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Gabaldon.

Jump in, I want
to show you something.

[GRUNTS]

[MAN CALLING OUT
IN JAPANESE]

That's a P.W. talking,

one of their own.

It was hammered
into them

that we torture
and butcher them.

They believe it.

Now they're killing themselves
in wholesale lots.

[*]

Oh, not the kid.

You want to bet?

[*]

Wait!

Mama-san, wait!

No!

I was only
gonna wing her.

We don't shoot
civilians.

But we got
to stop her.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[*]

I coulda stopped her.

No, Gabby.

Not with a rifle.

[*]

Gabby, we've been scouting
out in the boondocks all night.

No prisoners,
nothing.

It's daylight.
Let's get some sack time.

Okay, there's some
cover over there.

Hey, Lenny, look.
Huh?

Jap rations and ammo.

LEONARD:
With things

going so rough,

they wouldn't
leave stuff.

[GUNSHOTS]

[*]

That sounded close
to the ground.

Yeah. A spider pit
guarding those supplies.

Hey.
Yeah?

[*]

[FIRES]

Your eviction notice,
buddy.

[GRUNTS]

Here, I'll
give you a hand.

Smells like a bunch
of sick mackerel

crawled in here
and died.

Yeah.

Well, they ought to be
coming back for supplies.

Maybe we can
pick up something.

I think I already have.

Who's that?
Your wife?

Yeah.

That's a nice picture.

Thanks.

Think I'll get
some shuteye.

[MEN SHOUTING IN JAPANESE]

Hey, Lenny.

Yeah?

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Look out.

[GUN COCKS]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Hai.

He says General Matsui
is coming.

Matsui?
Yeah.

Something big
must be going on.

He's one of the high mucky-mucks
on this island.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

He says they're
running low on ammo

and the men are sick
and starving.

They're out of food.

He says in death
there is honor.

And American blood's
gonna flow like a river.

They're going to attack,
with one against one.

Arigato.

Arigato.

He says the attack's
gonna start at 0700 hours.

They're gonna group at a point
that's marked on the map.

That's only one hour away.

I'd sure like to get
my hands on that map.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Watch it.

Hey, Lenny, look,
he's going into a cave.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

MAN: Hai.

Yeah.

We've got to get that map
to headquarters.

A sudden banzai attack could
wipe out thousands of our men

before they ever knew
what hit 'em.

Okay.

All right. Get Back.
Get back inside.

All clear.

Grab the Imperial Peacock
and let's get out of here.

I will not go with you.

No?

Let's blast him right now
and get it over with.

Shooting me will not serve
your purpose.

Good soldiers prepare
for any contingency.

Capture or death.

The orders
have been given.

All right, we're just wasting
time talking.

Take the map
and get out.

What're you gonna do
with him?

Oh, I'll play it by ear.
Go on, get going.

All right. I'll catch hell
for this, but--

Good luck, Mac.

Hey, Lenny.

Yeah?

You be back by 0700

or there ain't gonna be no Mac,
okay?

Okay.

Soldier.

You're either a very brave man
or you're mad.

In either case you are dead
if you remain here.

You let me
worry about that.

Those guys will be back
before you know it.

And if I choose to leave,
I'll do so.

You try it and I'll put
a bullet through your head.

You better come off it,
general.

To die in battle or a
banzai charge, that's one thing.

To be shot in a lousy cave by
a Marine PFC is something else.

There's no honor,
no glory in that,

so you sit down
and sweat it out.

You will permit me
to smoke?

How do you figure you can get
away with something like this?

Tanks,
heavy artillery,

a thousand Marines
waiting for you,

you haven't got
a chance.

If but one American
loses his life,

it shall be worth
the effort.

One American for hundreds
of Japanese?

That's pretty stinking odds,
isn't it?

Isn't it?

Soldier,

surely you know
our code of war.

That's not war, general,
that's slaughter.

The slaughter of people
who can't help themselves.

[ALL SHOUTING]

Well,

it is time to go to my men.

Sit down.

My soldiers
will be ready by now.

We shall strike
before the appointed hour.

I said sit down,
damn it.

You see, soldier,

you believe
you have captured me, hm?

It is not so.

Even with that gun in your hand,
you are the captured.

It's over.

Soldier,

your sergeant failed
to get through.

You have lost.

But because you have
great courage,

I admire that.

I'll let you live.

For now.

Stay here if you wish.

Tell them to face the wall with
their hands behind their heads.

Tell them!

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

Soldier, you have--

I understood
that double-crossing speech.

These men died
without any reason.

I didn't want to kill 'em.
You killed 'em.

You and your code of war
killed 'em.

You want to go to your army?
All right,

I'll let you go,
but I'm going with you

to keep you honest.

And you're going to tell those
people that the war is over.

Now, let's move!

[*]

God,
what a pathetic sight.

There is much strength left.

They will fight.

We will pursue our attack.

I'll lay you odds you'll be dead
before you can give an order.

My order has already
been given.

Even if I were dead,

they will obey just the same.

Shoot me if you will.

I'll never tell
my men to surrender.

Let me give it to you
straight.

Saipan is secured.

Do you know what
that means?

Lost.

General, please take a look
at your army, will ya?

They're sick, wounded,
starving.

Civilians,
women and children

throwing themselves
into the sea.

Is this your code of honor?
Is this what you mean by honor?

Well, what's the reason
for all this?

Throw away human lives
without any purpose?

Is that what you want to do?
You want to destroy 'em?

They want to live
just as much as I do.

Look, I was raised
by Japanese.

Yeah.

And that's the only love
I ever knew

and I want to go back to it.

Just like they do.

Now, I know the decision
is up to you.

But if you'll tell 'em
to lay down their arms

and surrender, I promise you
nothing will happen to 'em.

Just give 'em a chance to go
back when it's all over with.

It's your move, general.

[SPEAKING IN JAPANESE]

[ALL SHOUTING IN JAPANESE]

This is not a pretty sight
for me to see.

Neither was Pearl Harbor.

Pied piper of Saipan.

I asked for some prisoners,

he brings in
the whole damn island.

Hey, Gabby. Gabby.

Hey, Gabby,
what do you say?

Hey, gang.

All right,
form a line to the left.

On the double!

Who is it?

I'm gonna take him home
with me.

Gabby, you done gone
and hit the jackpot.

Yeah?
His name is Kioshi.
