Get your mind off that dame and back on
the job or we'll never get outta here.

This war's been goin' on
for the last ten years.

You had Japs
in Manchuria in 1931,

the Eye-ties
in Ethiopia in 1935,

the Krauts been blitzkrieging
your favorite European tourist
attractions the last 3 years.

Last year in Africa,
it took General O'Connor and
his British tanks two months...

to grab Libya and it took
Rommel 12 days to get it back.

Jesus !
Look at this creamation !

You're supposed to be drying
dishes, not killing people.

Give me that turkey leg.
I'll shove it up your ass.

What's the matter with you ?
Look at all this good food over here.

- Pop, Wally made me cook !
- Wally, my ass ! Look here !
Perfectly good eggs !

What the hell's the matter with you,
throwing away food like that ?

Put it back over the stove,
warm it up for them fellows out there.

Let's mutilate this food before
they can serve it to anyone else.

[ Woman ]
They are so disgusting.

If you don't quit hanging
around with that playboy,

you gonna end up with a record
you can't play on the jukebox.

- But, Pops--
- Pops ? l ain't your Pops !

But, Pops, I've been practicin'
all week. I'm takin' dancing lessons.

- l seen you dance.
You can't dance worth a spit.
- [ Griddle Sizzles ]

Give me that thing.
Jesus.

When are you gonna remember which side
of the tracks you come from, boy ?

- [ Man ] We need more coffee.
- Coming right up.

- ## [ Big Band Continues ]
- Clean that place up right there !

# #

What's your problem, kid ?
You got ants in your pants ?

l was just practicing
some dance steps.

- Dance steps ?
- Mm-hmm.

You got somethin' to be
dancin' about, bub ?

- l don't know. Maybe l do.
- Maybe you do ?

There's a war on, pal. l want to know
why you're not in uniform.

l want to know what you're
doin' dancin' around tables.

l want to know why
you're not in the Army.

- 'Cause l don't take
orders from anybody.
- A tough guy, huh ?

- Whoa !
- [ Woman Gasps ]

[ Wally ]
Are you okay ? I'm really sorry.

- I'm terribly sorry.
- You got egg on my uniform.

- I'm very sorry.
- l hate eggs.

- Eggs are good for you.
- l can't stand eggs. l hate eggs.

- Look out, Wally.
- Watch it ! He's got a leg.

- [ Shouting, Groaning ]
- That ain't the way you do it !

Can it, Sitarski !
Save it for the Japs !

For cryin' out loud, Sarge.
Look at this bozo.

Anybody who wears a shirt
like that is askin' for it.

He's an American, Sitarski.

If it's one thing we don't want, it's
seeing Americans fighting Americans.

l won't stand for that.
Not here, not anywhere.

We've had our chow.
Move out.

- You okay, kid ?
- You're not gonna tip him,
are ya, Sarge ?

- That's okay. l don't need your tip.
- l think you do.

Get rid of that shirt.
It's in bad taste.

Come on ! Clean them floors up
like l told ya !

Floors haven't been washed
in 10 years. It'll take me all night.

l don't give a damn
if it takes 20 years.

He can't work tonight.
Tonight's his big night.

- Tonight's the night
of the Jitterbug contest.
- Jitterbug ? Hell !

That reminds me. Kill them
cockroaches in that flour sack.

- Pop, he can't work. He's gotta dance !
- [ Groans ]

Pop ! Pop !
You can't do this to me !

I'll do anything ! l gotta get
that money ! l gotta get that suit !

Only way you'll get a suit
is steal one.

- Now scram ! Get out !
- Ow ! Oh !

Easy come, easy go.

Oh, no, you think
that's gonna stop me ?

Nothing's gonna stop me from being
with Betty Douglas tonight.

- Um, Miss Fitzroy ?
- [ Woman ] Yes, Betty ?

Does this mean we won't be allowed
to dance with civilians tonight ?

- That is correct.
- [ Women Murmuring ]

In fact, civilians will no longer
be permitted in this facility.

The world is changing, girls,
and we have to change with it.

These men in uniform
are after one thing--

l don't want to hear any more talk
about your precious morality.

Morale. Now that
is what is important.

You are gonna have
to smile at men...

who you would never give
a second glance to in peacetime.

[ Together ]
Yes, Miss Fitzroy.

Make polite conversation with men
whose minds are in the gutter.

Yes, Miss Fitzroy.

You are gonna have to dance and dance
close with men you might find repulsive.

[ Group ]
Eww !

[ Men Whooping, Shouting ]

[ Chattering ]

Oh, heaven, heaven.
Some of them are really cute !

- l want you !
- [ Men Shouting ]

Eight o'clock !

[ Man ]
l can't take it !

- Seven-thirty !
- l love you !

[ Man ]
Tonight !

l love you !

[ Chattering Continues ]

That's all Reed Jack, one of our
better boogie-woogie suits.

- And very expensive.
- Excuse me. What do you mean by that ?

It's just that l couldn't help noticing
what you were wearing when you came in.

My good man, are you accusing me of not
having enough dough to pay for this ?

- Shh !
- l might as well leave this store.

No. Come back. Try on the hat.
It goes with the suit.

[ Salesman ]
You know what l mean ?

[ Elevator Bell Dings ]

[ Chattering ]

It's not gonna work. It ain't
gonna work. It's not gonna work.

[ Newscaster ] Elsewhere
in the news, it's been reported...

that two squadrons of Japanese planes
flew over San Francisco last night.

They bombed Pearl Harbor.
Now they're going to come here.

They bombed Pearl Harbor.
Now they're going to come here.

They bombed Pearl Harbor !
Now they're going to come here !

[ Screaming ]

Thank you, but no, thank you.
l have changed my mind.

- l do not want it !
- What do you mean
you changed your mind ?

- I'm sorry, sir. l am taking it off.
- But you wanted a suit.

l learned one thing today:
l will never shop east of Beverly Hills.

- Merry Christmas !
- Merry Christmas.

It ain't gonna work.

Why do l always have troubles
on Christmas--

- It's not gonna work.
- [ Siren Wailing ]

- Why can't l have a--
What ? Oh, my God.
- [ Siren Wailing ]

- [ Siren Continues ]
- [ Woman ] God.

Air raid.
Japs. Japs !

[ Screaming ]
Japs !

[ Screaming ]
Get outta my way !

- [ Wally ] Air raid !
- [ Screaming ]

l never thought
they'd be this nervous.

Hi, girls. Your first air raid ?
Are you two sisters ?

- Get lost !
- We want a man !

Soldier ! Soldier !
Help us !

Hey, Wally, l think we swiped
the wrong style.

- What ?
- Those gals are khaki wacky !

- They're what ?
- Look at that !

- Dames are falling for uniforms.
- l don't want dames !

All l want is to dance
with Betty tonight.

Come on !
Let's get outta here !

Everybody, down !
Everybody, down !

This is your
diagonal warning !

Everybody, down !

[ Tires Screeching ]

Oh, no.

Fill 'er up.
Ethyl.

Where ?

[ Newscaster ]
It was just a case of war nerves.
Two squadrons of Japanese heroes--

[ Man ] The Japs tried to bomb
San Francisco last night.

Two squadrons of Jap heroes.
I've been trackin' them ever since.

l lost them
somewhere over Fresno.

[ Man ] Radio says that's not true
about San Francisco.

- It was just a case of war nerves.
- War nerves ?

- Yeah.
- Who said, ''war nerves'' ?

l heard it
on that radio there.

- Radio's wrong.
- [ Woman ] Oh, my God !

Oh, shit !

Oh !

Stop that plane !

Stop ! Stop !
Damn it ! Stop !

[ Sirens Wailing ]

Madness. It's the only word
to describe it.

This isn't the state of California.
This is a state of insanity.

[ Woman ] General Stilwell,
Colonel Grant suggests dispatching...

guard units to all
the city reservoirs.

lntelligence suspects that
Fifth Columnists are going to...

''pour poison into
the water supply.''

And G-2 should pour knockout
drops into the water supply.

Maybe the people of the city would
calm down and leave the war to the Army.

[ Sirens Wailing ]

[ Man ]
Stand off !

[ Man ] Sir ? Sir ? The General.
[ Knocks on Metal ]

- My fingers. l need them over here.
- Do you hear sirens ?

- Captain Birkhead.
General Stilwell is here.
- Do l hear sirens ?

Ow ! Oh !
Sirens !

- What are you doin' ?
I'm not finished yet.
- Oh !

- Sorry, Captain. Captain,
what's your name again ?
- Loomis Birkhead.

- Sorry, Captain Birkhead,
but that's General Stilwell.
- Wait !

- I've got to get my story !
- l was just giving it to you.

[ Sighs ]

I'll tell ya, DuBois, there are
positive and negative aspects...

about being a general's aide.

The general couldn't have been
a couple more minutes late, could he ?

It is wartime, and we all
have to make sacrifices.

Here he comes !

- You have a telegram
from Colonel Maddox, sir ?
- Madman Maddox ?

- What does he want ?
- Troops, sir.

Troops ? It's a practice bombing range
in Barstow in the middle of the desert.

What's he want troops for ?
Give me that.

''Request emergency troops.
Invasion imminent.

Suspect hidden Jap airfield
in Pomona alfalfa fields.''

l blame myself.
l put that lunatic out there.

Jesus H. Christ, DuBois.
Is that the General's new secretary ?

Yes, sir.
She came in from G-2 this morning.

- Not bad, huh ?
- Not bad ? She's a goddess.
A goddamn goddess !

That is Donna Stratton.
l knew her back in Washington.

She has got this thing
for planes.

One of those real
high-flyin' types, huh ?

I've never seen
anything like it.

She's got planes
on the brain.

His brother had all those
political connections in Georgia.
What could l do ?

Tell him to hold his position.
I'll send someone up there later .

[ Stilwell ] Where's Birkhead ?
He's supposed to have my lunch.

[ Donna ]
B-17.

[ Gasps ]
Ooh.

No man has ever gotten to first
base with her on the ground.

But get her into a plane, she'll bat
your balls right out of the park.

- You can fly, sir ?
- Who said anything about flying ?

l just gotta get her into that plane.
I'll fake the rest.

- [ Gasps ]
- Hello, Donna.

Donna Stratton, after all this time.
How long has it been ?

Not long enough.

You're not still sore,
are you, Donna ?

Yes ! In
a number of places.

[ Laughing ]
Same old Donna.

Listen, l got a great idea.

Why don't we get together for dinner
tonight ? We got a lot to talk about.

[ Laughing ]

What could you and l
possibly have to talk about ?

Airplanes.

l seem to recall that you always
had a very keen interest in aircraft.

Now, take this B-17,
for example.

A woman like you is bound
to appreciate a plane like the 17.

After all, it's big.
It's the biggest one here.

You know what else ?
It's got a lot of range.

- You know what l mean
by range, don't you ?
- Oh, sure.

It can stay up for a long time.
A very long time.

It's built firm
and solid.

It has to be, because of its
tremendous forward thrust.

And when this baby
delivers its payload,

devastating.

[ Both Laughing ]

- Oh, Captain.
Let's get something straight.
- Please do.

l don't like you.
l don't like the way you act.

l especially don't like
your immature sexual innuendos.

- l was just kidding.
- The B-17 happens to be...

- the most valuable
strategic air bomber...
- Damn it !

- When l went to flight school,
we were taught to secure these.
- in the United States Air Corps.

l didn't know you
went to flight school.

l only logged in a couple of hours
in a little Beechcraft Trainer...

before l got kicked out--
upstairs to become the General's aide.

- But can you fly the B-17 ?
- B-17 ?

- Can you fly the B-25 ?
- A plane's a plane.

- Can you fly the 24 Liberator ?
- Propeller and four wings.

Can you fly
the 38 Lightning ?

You can fly one,
you can fly them all.

Sure, l could fly the 17.

I'm sorry, Captain.
l didn't realize you had a serious
interest in strategic bombers.

Donna, my interest
is very strategic.

How would you like me
to show you the cockpit ?

First let me say the possibility of
the Japs bombing us is, at best, remote.

However, we're installing
antiaircraft batteries all over town.

In addition, we have
a vast network of civil defense
volunteer aircraft spotters...

keeping a constant vigil.

They report their sightings directly
to Interceptor Command Headquarters.

In the event of a sighting
that cannot be immediately
identified by Headquarters,

we go to a condition yellow
as a precaution.

The aircraft maintains its position
and attempts to identify it fail,

we go to a condition blue.

The situation persists,
we cannot establish radio
contact, we go to a red alert.

During a red alert,
air raid sirens will sound.

All lights must be turned out.
Searchlights will scan the skies
for enemy aircraft.

Gun crews will be at ready.

[ To Himself ]
l hope.

[ Birkhead ]
Clear the props !

Boost pump on.
Energize. Engage. Ignition !

Are we cleared for takeoff ?

[ Imitating Radio Static ]
B-17, two, seven, one.

Cleared for takeoff
on runway one-eight.

Winds from the southwest.

- You want the stick ?
- Yes, yes, yes. Give it to me.

All right. Now.

We are rolling.

We're rolling
down that runway...

faster and faster.

- l don't feel any thrust.
- Don't worry. You will !

You will.
All right, all right.

Max power !
We're past the point of rejection.

- Get your nose up !
Pull back on that stick !
- [ Airplane Passes Overhead ]

[ Grunts ]

- Oh, very good.
- [ Sighing, Panting ]

Landing gear up.

And now we're leveling off
at 20,000 feet.

Turn the wheel to the right.

Good. We're at 20,000 feet.

Ow !
[ Groans ]

- What's that ?
- Nothing. It was a little turbulence.

We hit an air pocket.
Nothing to worry about.

Objectives in sight.

We peer down
the bomb sight.

We're on target.

We open
the bomb bay doors.

[ Whirring ]

[ Stilwell Continues,
Indistinct ]

We are getting
closer and closer.

We are
approaching target.

You're almost there.
Here we go, Donna. Here we go.

- Bombs away.
- [ Machinery Clattering ]

Who's playing in
the cockpit ? Goddamn it !

- Mission scrubbed.
- Oh, Donna !

Sorry to have to bail out, Loomis,
but it just won't work on the ground.

l tried it in the simulator once.
It was no good there either.

We've got to be airborne.

But, Donna, listen.
We'll try a different flight plan.

We are divebombing Tokyo.
[ Imitating Automatic Gunfire ]

I'd like to say
one final word about bombs.

The eventuality of an air raid
on this city is highly unlikely.

Oh, Donna. You can't do this
to me. You don't know what
I've been through today.

Loomis, my father was a drill
sergeant in the Marine Corps.

He taught me how to defend
myself. Now, leave me alone.

Donna, please--

As long as l am here,
l can assure you,

there will be no bombs
dropped here.

[ Screaming ]

[ People Screaming ]

We think we've located
Captain Birkhead, sir.

# #

- [ Chattering ]
- Okay, okay.

Bye ! See you later !

## [ Scatting ]
Bye-bye !

Maxine, l don't know why
l ever listen to you.

l can't do this to Wally. You know
he's been waiting a long time for this.

- He's even learning how to dance.
- Forget about Wally.

Think of all those soldiers and sailors
we'll be dancing with tonight.

- l can't forget about Wally.
- ## [ Humming ]

What are you gonna do ? Turn your back
on those brave men in uniform...

so you can dance
with some criminal ?

Wally is not a criminal.
He's just-- He's just original--

- He stole your father's car.
That's really original.
- [ Door Closes ]

- Wally ? What are you doing here ?
- [ Maxine ] Betty ?

Oh, my God. If my father
catches you here, he'll kill you.

l paid my debt to society. Your father
has a brand-new auto, a new garage.

Did the fire insurance
pay for all this ?

My dad it can't possibly cover what he's
gonna do to you if he sees you again.

l had to show you the new set of drapes
l picked up for the dance this evening.

Look at this. A wreath pleat, a stuffed
cuff and a wreath sleeve. Snazzy, huh ?

- Watch these new steps !
- l have to talk to you.

- Would you listen ?
- You can forget
about the dance tonight.

They won't let you near
the place dressed like that.

It's a USO club now
for servicemen only.

- And we're hostesses.
- What do you mean, ''hostesses'' ?

- That like a waitress ?
- It means we can only dance
with servicemen.

- Real men.
- What do you mean ?

You joined some organization that tells
you who you can and can't dance with ?

You're talking
about the USO !

Where does that
leave us, Betty ?

Look, l know you don't
owe me anything.

But I've been lookin' forward to this
night for a long, long time.

- What am l supposed to do ?
- Get a uniform.

This is my uniform !

I'm an American too, and there's
a lot of things l have to do.

l have to do my part, Wally.

There's a lot of lonely
servicemen out there.

- l don't want to see them
stuck on some German--
- Bayonet.

Do you wanna go with me
tonight ? Yes or no ?

- Yes.
- Betty.

Think about those guys.

l mean, no.
l mean, yes.

The hairy chests
and the hairy arms--

l don't know !
l don't know !

You're gettin' me confused.

I'm just confused.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Wait. Look.

I'll meet ya in front
of the dance hall at 8:00.

If they won't let me in,
we can go see a movie.

Okay ? There's that new
Walt Disney cartoon playin' around.

Dumbo !

Oh, my God.
Here comes my father.

And he's got a gun !

- [ Laughing ]
- Quick, Wally. Go out the garage door.

I'll stall him.

[ Wally ]
Come on ! Oh ! Hello ? Come on !

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi. How are you ?

- Dad, I'd like you to meet my friend.
- Hi !

It won't open !

Dad, Dad,
l joined the USO.

Yes, l know. You told me, dear.
We all got to do what we can.

[ Betty, Maxine
Chattering ]

Aha !

Shit. l didn't hear any gunshots.
He must have got away.

What's that rug--
That's my hat !

Gus, Gus, wait
'til they step on it.

That's my brand-new hat.

[ Screams ]

[ Giggling ]

Surrender !

- Macey Douglas,
what is the meaning of this ?
- What is this ?

Jap trap. We're gonna cover it
over with sticks and stuff.

Dad says when the Japs
sneak up, they'll fall in.

I'm going to kill you.

Wait 'til l get out of here,
I'm gonna murder you !

You dug your own grave.

- [ Gasps ]
- [ Vacuum Off ]

Ward Douglas.

- [ Truck Approaching ]
- Wow ! Look what we're getting.

l will not have guns
in this house.

- [ Gasps ]
- Uh, excuse us, ma'am.

- Heads up !
- [ Woman Screams, Whimpers ]

- [ Whimpering ]
- Hello ?

Sorry, ma'am. Our gun
kind of got away on us there.

- All right, move it back ! Come on !
- Shit ! Oh, sorry.

Come on, move it out !
Back it up, ya foul-ups.

Let's go, Reese.
Move it out easy now.

Come on, Foley.
Get in here and push.

- Gee whiz.
- Corporal Sitarski,
get on that wheel. Come on !

All right.
Sitarski, lock it up !

- Ow !
- Watch yourself.

Attention, Foley,
Sitarski, Reese, let's go !

Fall in on the double.
Hustle, hustle !

Oh, my God !
My roses !

Ten-hut ! At ease.

Sir, Sergeant Frank Tree, United States
Army Tenth Armored Division.

Mr. Ward Herbert Douglas,
1313 Pelican Way ?

Yes.

Uh-huh. The Coast Artillery Command
has determined your property...

to be strategically advantageous
for the installation...

of an enemy aircraft
defense battery.

What ?

We want to put this 40 millimeter
antiaircraft gun in your yard, sir.

Joan, they want to put
this gun in our yard.

No. Absolutely not.
l refuse to let you...

bring the war into
my own front yard.

Joan. Joan dearest. Uh--

That's the point, isn't it ?
Whose front yard is this ?

ls it Toio's front yard ?
Is it Hirohito's front yard ?
No. It's my front yard.

It was bought and paid for
in the free marketplace.

l am going to defend it.

Then join the Civilian Defense.
You could become a block warden.

I'm not going to run around like Angelo
Scioli with a whistle and flashlight,

hollering, ''Lights out.''

[ Protesting In Italian ]

Alma! After the war,
I'll turn it back to a car.

- Right now it's a tank
for the Civil Defense.
- Angelo.

[ Protesting Continues ]

You promised me a lawn chair
on the beach...

in front of Ward's house
with binoculars.

That was originally. You still got
a chair. You still got binoculars.

Only now you're on top of
the ferris wheel in the amusement park.

You don't understand.

I've got a little problem.

I'm afraid of heights.
Yeah, yeah.

Can't look down
from high up.

What do you call that ?
Hydrophobia ?

- Acrophobia.
- No problem. Won't bother ya.

You never look down.
You just look up.

You sit on top of the ferris wheel
with your binoculars spotting aircraft.

- You never look down. Up, up, up--
- Who's with me ?

- Oh, l got a wonderful guy.
Very simpatico.
- Good man ?

Calm, cool,
collected, balanced.

- He knows all about heights ?
An expert ?
- [ Protesting Continues ]

This person is an expert
about everything.

Calma.
[ Italian ]

That's not defense, Joan.
This is defense.

- Ward, l have to talk--
- Sir, ma'am, please. Let's not fight.

If there's one thing l can't stand, it's
seeing Americans fighting Americans.

If you let them keep that gun
in our yard, our home will be a target.

Joan, we're all targets
in this war.

At least we will
be able to shoot back.

- How do l work this thing, Sergeant ?
- You shouldn't touch it.

There will be a gunnery crew here
on Monday to man the ordnance.

- Monday ?
- Yes, sir.

- [ Joan ] Where will
they go to the bathroom ?
- [ Maxine ] Oh.

Remember l saw him first.
He's mine.

[ Joan ] l will not allow you
to bring the war into my front yard.

Hello, hello, hello.

Sitarski ! Quit goldbrickin' !
Go in that garage,

find a cement block and
stabilize that ordnance.

- Move it !
- Yes, sir !

- You heard your boss. Put me down.
- Anything you say, doll.

[ Gasps ]

- Come on, get the lead out !
Move, move, move !
- Yes, sir !

Sergeant, there's no way this gun
can go off by itself, is there ?

Actually, I'm a motor pool
maintenance sergeant.

l don't know too much
about the gunnery stuff.

However, l can tell you this material
is a 40 millimeter automatic gun...

effective against
Iow-flying aerial targets.

The gun will displace a 1.96 pound,
high-explosive armor--

[ Exhales ]
Count to ten.

[ Exhales ]
One, two--

[ Clattering ]

How can we make sure that
the gun doesn't go off ?

The upper part of the gun
carriage is capable of...

a full 360 degree traverse with a
maximum barrel elevation of 90 degrees.

This is a cement block.

[ Screaming ]

[ Tree ]
Projectile at 2,960 feet per second--

- Don't they teach you
manners in the Army ?
- You're right. I'm sorry.

I'm Corporal Chuck Sitarski,
United States Army.

But, uh, my good friends
call me Stretch.

How are ya ? Aw, look,
I'm sorry l dropped you in that hole.

Listen, you got a
little thing in your hair--

I'll tell you what.
If it makes you feel any better,

why don't you haul off
and slug me ?

- Plant one right here on my kisser.
- l don't want to hit you.

- Make a fist.
- All right.

You shouldn't touch
the ordnance at all.

But more specifically, you should
never pull this hand-operating lever...

- to the rear.
- Never.

Do not push a clip of ammunition

- You got a direct line to
the Interceptor Command.
- Hey !

Then you tell them exactly
what ya saw and where. Here.

You know my problem with heights.
l don't want to be

Jesus Christ, Angelo.
They gave him a gun.

Don't worry. He got a license.
He's an expert shot.

Don't worry.
Try to adjust to him.

- To know him is to love him.
- Ow !

Don't worry.
You'll both be compatible.

If not, I'll get you a replacement.
Just sit down, Claude.

Remember, you're both
very vital to Civil Defense.

Safety bar ?
We don't need no safety bar.

What happens
if we have to jump ?

You keep the safety bar
Iocked at all times.

And remember, don't act up, Herbie,
like you did last summer.

No standing up
and no rocking.

You mean this thing
rocks ? Whoa !

Whoa ! Whoa !

[ Herb ] Don't worry.
You're perfectly safe.

You got nothin' to worry about.

l once swung around in
one of these things 180 degrees
and l didn't get hurt.

No, sir, buddy. There's no way
you can get killed in one of these,

unless you really try.

Like this one guy l knew.
He committed suicide.

He just stood up and did
a swan dive straight down.

Sit down, please.
Just stay seated, please.

Don't look down, Claude.
You'll be all right.

Up, up, up. I'll be back to pick you up
after your shift. Ciao.

Hey, this

I'm gonna throw it away.
Is it all right with you ?

All right, I'm gonna
throw it away.

Here it goes.
It's going. It's going.

It's going. It's going.

Going. It's going.
It's going.

Too bad l forgot
to time it.

If I'd timed it, l would have known
how long it took to hit the ground.

Because obiects fall
at 32 feet per second.

Would you just shut up
about heights ?

l don't want to hear
another word about heights.

- Boy, l sure hope the wind starts--

Now don't say

General Stilwell, sir,
an urgent message from Barstow !

-From Colonel Maddox, son ?
-Sir, they're worried about an invasion.

Christ, l thought l told Maddox
to hold his position.
Birkhead, see what he wants.

I'm sorry, sir. My orders
are to give these directly to you.

''Request relief column.
Invasion imminent.

Murderers parachuting in
from the skies.''

[ Mutters ]

Son, are these Jap murderers
or Kraut murderers ?

The colonel
didn't specify, sir.

You seen
these murderers, son ?

Um, no, sir. But Colonel Maddox has
seen lights in the hills after dark.

This leads the colonel to believe
they're being dropped in at night, sir.

You know, son,

Colonel Maddox is mad.

He is ?

I'm getting that old
sinking feeling.

Excuse me, General, but
since it's a bombing range,

don't you think Colonel Maddox
would have some planes there, sir ?

Some airplanes.

Yeah, well, he might have
a few planes there. So what ?

Well, l seem to recall
a huge stockpile of bombs, sir.

Stock-- I'm missing the movie.
I'm missing the movie !

Considering Maddox's state of mind,
there's no telling what he might do.

l thought it might be wise
if l take a jaunt out there...

and see if l can't appease
the girl-- uh, the colonel, sir.

With your permission,
of course.

Take my car, go out there
and keep that maniac at bay.

- And don't let him get
his hands on an airplane.
- Yes, sir !

Sir, I'm going to take
a rain check on the movie.
I've got a splitting headache.

I'm sorry about your headache.
Can l call a car for you ?

- No, sir, l think l can persuade
Capt. Birkhead to give me--
- Can l have my ticket ?

Loomis, use your head. Everybody knows
you flunked out of flight school.

There's a few rules

this white line, which is
the Mason-Dixon line.

That is the north; this is the south.
Don't ever cross over there.

Well, I'm from Tennessee and I'm

the pilot of that plane ?

Yes, sir. Captain Wild Bill Kelso,
United States Army Air Corps.

I'm proud to report that
I'm the first American...

to shoot down a Jap plane
over the continental United States.

- You shot down a Jap plane ?
- Yes, sir.

A Mitsubishi lero, sir.

Got back some of that
scrap metal we sold 'em.

Blew the livin' hell outta him
right into the Stone Age.

We just got a report that a plane
went down in the La Brea Tar Pits.

That's him ! That's gotta be the one !
l told you l shot him down.

- Is that a Jap plane ?
- They don't know.

What do you mean they don't know ?
Of course it was a Jap plane.

- You don't think I'd shoot down
one of our own, do ya ?
- I'm not so sure.

The plane's not important. What's
important is the submarine ! The sub !

Submarine ?
Shot down a Jap sub too.

No, sir.
l could have, though.

l had him in my sights.

l had that bastard
right where l wanted him.

But l caught it in the radiator.
He's still out there !

What about that plane ?
There must be a pilot.

That is the craziest
son of a bitch l ever saw.

How many more like him
do you think are up there ?

Get outta here !

Gus, you can get into anything.
Open up this ammunition.

- Yes, sir.
- Stevie, round up the neighbors.

I'm going to need help getting this gun
over to where l can get a clear shot.

- Macey, stay close.
- Yes, sir !

That nice soldier told you
not to touch the ordnance.

Don't you think you should
call the army ?

The army doesn't know
what they're doing. l can handle this.

- Ward, you're acting like Errol Flynn !
- Joan, damn it ! Shut up !

Porca miseria !
l just remembered.

l got two guys stuck
on top of the ferris wheel.
Somebody's gotta get 'em down.

Macey, get on your bike,
get over to the amusement pier.

- l gotta watch you sink the sub !
- That's an order, son.

- Yes, sir.
- Kid, this is the key to the
control box in the ferris wheel.

- l know. l know, l know.
- Don't touch anything red or silver.

- Yeah, l know. l know.
- Only blue.

Okay, everybody, over here ! Get on
this gun. We gotta move it over there !

We're sinking
a Japanese sub tonight.

[ Birds Chirping ]

[ Radio Newscaster ]
...out of a brilliant blue western sky,

- ## [ Whistling ]
- foreign aircraft, flying both
in large formation and singly,

flew over Southern California
last night...

- and drew heavy barrages
of antiaircraft fire--
- ## [ Whistling ]

the first ever to sound over
United States continental soil
against an enemy invader.

No bombs
were reported dropped.

Shortly before 10:00 p.m.,
police reported...

that an airplane had been shot down
into the La Brea Tar Pits.

- [ Snoring ]
- In other parts of the city,

Fifth Column acts were
reported during the air raid.

- Mysterious lights were spotted
in many locales.
- [ Car Approaching ]

In the Tarzana hills,
Burbank police...

saw a string of lights
in a ''V'' form,

pointing toward
the Lockheed Aircraft plant.

[ Officer ] All right, fall in
the yard ! Fall in the yard, men !

Foley, Jones,
Reese, Hinshaw ! Ten-hut !

[ Newscaster ] ...and immediately Army
searchlights shot into the sky.

Sergeant,
what happened here ?

Sir, while suppressing
a riot on Hollywood Blvd.
last night with our tank,

l... was, uh,
struck unconscious.

My men, however, received a report
about a Japanese sub...

off the Santa Monica Pier
from a downed Army Air Corps captain.

They responded immediately, went to the
objective and at about 2300 hours...

- they engaged the enemy.
- Damage ?

Uh, the Japanese sunk both our tank
and, uh, the ferris wheel, sir.

l think we hit the sub.
l saw it go down !

[ Wally ]
You see, sir, l--

- [ Sighing ]
- Donna ! Donna ! Donna ! Not now !

Oh, honey.

- My girlfriend was there--
There was this wild man--
- Is this a long story ?

- Yes, sir.
- Then save it.

Sir, I'd like
to say something.

We've been through a lot,
all of us.

We faced the enemy
for the first time last night,

right in
our own backyards,

and we came together,

put our differences aside and carried
on the true spirit of America.

l think no matter what happens,
what sacrifices we have to face,

we can carry forward
like Americans.

While we're doing our repairs, I'm going
to hang this wreath on my front door.

This symbol of Christmas,

this symbol of peace.

l just want to remind us all
that we're not going to let...

a bunch of treacherous
enemy killjoys...

ruin our Christmas.
