All language subtitles for From Here To Eternity 1979 Part 03.eng

She's doing her good deed for the day.

The entire company's standing
at attention.

What can I do for you, Mrs Holmes?

I'm looking for my husband.
Has he been in this morning?

Well, knowing the captain, ma'am,

he‘s probany with Colonel Delbart
down in the officer's club

knocking back a few snorts.

You know, discussing the servant problem.

You mean to tell me you refuse
to go out for the boxing squad?

Yes, sir.

Forget this man. Assign him to a squad.

I know your kind.

You always wind up in the stockade,
sooner or later.

Just remember,
when you get there, I‘ll be waiting.

Why did you come here, Sergeant?

I wanna go to bed with you.

All right.

- Sergeant Doehm.
- Yes, sir.

I now leave it up to you
and other members of the boxing squad

to personally convince Private Prewitt
to change his mind.

Didn‘t you check your mask
before you went in, Prewitt?

I'd just like to know if Kowalski's
got anything in his pocket

to punch holes with.

You watch your mouth, Bolshevik!

You can blow it out your birch bag, buddy!

You ain't never been
to a Japanese liquid massage?

- I'm a hick.
- Hick?

You gotta be Shoeless Joe Jackson,
the original ridge runner.

I get five dollars.
More than the other girls.

I can handle it.

So, how‘d you get along
with Holmes over there?

I got along just fine with the captain.

Even better with his wife.

He said he made ya.

You didn't have to put it like that.

You know what he also said?

He also said you made it
with half the guys in the post.

You damn seIf-satisfied know-it-all Iouse.

Well, Private Prewitt.
You ready to apologise now?

No, sir.

I'm not, sir.

I can't allow even a suspicion
that an enlisted man made me back down.

Do you understand that?

It might look like you're doing it
because you couldn't get him to back down.

One more step,
and you'll get what he's getting.

Six months, Mac.

Hello, tough monkey.

You didn't make me wait very long.

You would make a fine officer.

You'd be
what they're all pretending to be.

I never figured you for such a snob.

I applied for a commission.

When?

On Friday. The shock hasn‘t hit me yet.

I wanna marry you, Lorene.

I told you never to mention that again.

I don't understand why
we just can't talk about it, Lorene.

“Lorene."
That's the name the pimp gave me.

Alma Schmidt. That's who I am.
That's who I wanna be.

Alma Schmidt! Alma! That's my name!

What's going on here, Corporal?

Dam that Bolshevik.

Threw punch at non-com,
so I taught him good lesson.

Who threw the first punch?

They can kill you, kid,
but they can't eat you.

Prisoners do not salute.

Only soldiers have the right
to the mutual compliment of the salute.

And once we‘re in the same barracks,
you could help me pull off my plan.

I'm still gonna bust outta here.

Let’s go!

Move, move, move!

Come on. Pick it up.

Over here. Pick 'em up.
Hurry. Come on. Let’s go.

Let’s go!

Lefl,fight

Steady. Steady!

Let‘s go, Sergeant, move it!

Steady!

Ready?

Right.

- Pick up your ammo.
- First squad, move it!

Right.

Forward!

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

Right, left, three, four!

Right, left, three, four!

Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura,
Japanese ambassador, says after...

How many of these M13 did they send us?

The whole complement.

We‘ve got enough M13 to exchange
for every old Springfield in the company.

So Iet's get busy and exchange.

Hey, Top, I‘m so busy now, I ain't
even had a chance to exchange those.

Come on, Leva. Move your butt.

Want your buddies stabbing the enemy
with chrome bayonets

instead of these black ones?

Where‘s your patriotism?

Boy, it sure looks like somebody
up there's figuring on a war, don't it?

- Yeah, and a big one.
- Good morning, Corporal.

I was looking for my husband.
He wasn't in the orderly room.

Hello, Sergeant Warden.

Good morning, ma'am.

The captain's not here, Mrs Holmes.

Well, lwonder if anyone
knows where he might be.

Well, would you like to step across
to the orderly room?

- Maybe he left word.
- Thank you.

- What's the matter?
- I can't meet you.

Dana is busy making friends at Division,

and he's invited some officers over
for cocktails.

I’ve got to be there.

I'm sorry, Milt.

It's not your fault.

- Lewis.
- Yeah.

- Cap leave word where he was going?
- Didn't say nothing to me, Top.

- Go get some chow.
- I just ate.

Well, eat again.

- Right.
- Straighten that tie out, Lewis.

Right, Top.

Listen, I got something to tell you.

I was going to tell you this afternoon,
but I'll tell you now.

I got a 30-day furlough coming up.

I got $600 in poker winnings
in a bank downtown.

What do you say you and I
take that furlough together?

- But I can't. You know I can't.
- Yes, you can.

I have a little boy at home.

So make arrangements for him.
You always do.

I can't make arrangements
for a whole month.

And even if I could, how would it look

for both of us to be gone that long
at exactly the same time?

Yeah, right. That's why you can't marry me
till I become an officer,

because how would it look, right?

Nice.

Have you heard anything?

There are no messages, Mrs Holmes.

I'd better go.

Milt, I’ll try my best
to make some arrangements.

Not for a whole month.
I-- I just couldn't, but maybe for a week.

I know that's not very much.

Are you very disappointed?

I'm not disappointed at all.

A week is fine. Hell, 3 week's a Iifetime.

Listen, / made up my mind about something.
I wanna get put into your barracks.

Look, you got buddies. They can--

They can tell me
how to get switched over, right?

It ain't easy, paisan.

See, there’s a lot of ways to get yourself
in the FouI-ups Barracks.

But the best way
is to complain about the food.

Now, this here 's my pal Blues Berry.

He'll explain you why.

They're very strict about
these kind of complaints.

They'l/ throw you in the hole and then
they’ll move you to barracks 2, for sure.

But it ain't like something serious
that goes on your record

and gets you a longer stretch.

You call this chow? This ain't chow!

This is slop! It ain't fit for pigs!

You want to change your mind
about that, prisoner?

Yeah. I'm sorry. Iwas mistaken.

This slop is fit for pigs!

Shut your trap and sit still. Very still.

Give me a plate of chow.

Our aim is to teach you
to appreciate good food.

Eat this. All of it.

And you better eat both platefu/s
and eat it fast.

Because if you even stop to take a breath,

Fatso's gonna shove it down your throat,
which can make you sick to your stomach.

And if you heave, you have to clean it up.

But first, they shove your face in it.

Drink it up.

The smart thing
is to just drink that castor oil.

If you don't, they hold your nase
and make you swallow it anyway.

And Fatso mightjust bust
your two front teeth with the battle.

After the castor oil,

they take you to the gym
to give you a workout.

This here is Jack MaI/oy.
Now, you listen to what he tells you.

It's very important not to fight back.

How you feel?

Sick to my stomach.

Why the hell not fight back?

'Cause then they'll work you over, worse.

After the workout,

they'l/ throw you in the hole
for three days.

On this subject,
I’ll advise you personally.

There's no room to stand up
without bending over.

80 the best thing to do is
Iay down on the floor and relax.

They bring you bread and water
three times 3 day.

Drink the water, but don't eat the bread.

'Cause ifyou eat the bread,

you're gonna get hungry
something terrib/e.

But if you don’t eat the bread,

then after the first day,
you won’t be huneg no more.

Sometimes you feel like the walls are
closing in on you and you want to scream.

Don’t do it,
because if you ever start to scream‚

you'll still be screaming
when they come to take you out.

Hey, Hey, Fatso!

Tough guy. Hard case.

How‘d you like two more days in here?

What is this, a snowjob?

Two more days? I ain't even have one day.

What is this? Part of the treatment?

Shine your light over there
for that tough guy.

How many slices of bread you see there?

Count them.

Nine.

Nine.

Three days' worth, tough monkey.

Hunger strikes don't get you out
a minute quicker.

Take him to barracks 2
with the rest of the Bolsheviks.

Hey, how you feeling?

Somebody must have got me
mixed up with a celebrity...

bringing my stuff over from 3.

Fixing my bunk up.

You do that, Angelo?

Me? Are you kidding?

These guys wouldn‘t let me touch nothing.

I'm a foul-up.

Barry, he brought your stuff over,
and Malloy made up your bunk.

Good soldiers like you.

How about a smoke?

Hey, tailor-made.

Yeah.

I got more for any guy who has the gute
to handle himself like you just did.

Ain‘t just gute. I got gute.

Rats got guts.

Prew's got-- What do you call it?

- SeIf-discipline.
- SeIf-discipline.

Yeah. Malloy's got an education.
We don‘t hold it against him.

Malloy's right.
If I had half of Prew's seIf-discipline,

I'd pull my plan off,
been out of here 3 month ago.

So what is the plan?

Come on.
I'm killing myself with curiosity.

Not here. Too many ears around here.

Let‘s go down the other end
where we can talk. Come on.

All right.

Here‘s where we Iay out the design.

Come here.

Any guy who gets thrown in the hole
for 30 days or more,

they automatically got to send him
to the nut ward in the post hospital.

And from there,
he gets his Section 8 discharge.

How come?

They figure any man
who gets violent in the stockade

and spends all that time in a hole,

he‘s too far off the trolley track
to do any good to the army.

How do you know about this?

Guys talk, and Malloy says so.

And Malloy's a three-time loser.
He knows guys got out that way.

There's got to be a catch.

Well, the catch is those guys,
they went real nuts.

But I'm gonna be the first one
who ever faked it.

How you going to fake it?

In the rock pile.

Iflip my lid, see?

Gonna go for the guard
with my sledgehammer.

Aren‘t they going to shoot you?

Absolutely. That's where you come in.

See, you'll be with me.

If the guard looks like
he's gonna shoot me,

you jump in there,
and you knock me flat on my keister.

Then he can't shoot me no more.

That's why you didn’t go ahead
with your plan before.

You was waiting for me.

That's one reason.

What's the other?

I'm scared.

But I swear to God and all the saints,
I'm going to do it.

Well, if it isn't Sergeant Warden.

What do you say, Gert?

It's been so long,
I hardly recognised you.

Well, it's me, Gerty.
So how's about letting me in?

You're in on one condition:

You stop calling me Gert.
You know I think that's vulgar.

Sorry, doll. You know I could
never be intentionally vulgar.

Is there any girl in particular
that you would like?

Yeah, Lorene.

The princess.

Good taste as always, Milt.

She's available over there on the sofa.

Yeah. Well, don't start banging
on your cash register yet.

Ijust want to speak with her.

I don't know. During business hours?

I'm saving myself for you, Gert.
You spoiled me for all other women.

You know, Milt,

if I didn't know that
you were just being playful,

I would resent that.

Lorene.

Hi, I‘m Milt Warden.

I spoke to you on the phone, remember?
About Prewitt?

Oh, yes. Oh, yes, thank you.

Thank you.

He wrote you a letter

and had it smuggled out of prison,
which is against all the rules.

- So, watch out, okay?
- Of course.

Oh, Sergeant Warden...

Come with me, please.

Says he's all right.

Is he all right?

Well, if he were dead,
they would've had to notify me.

Says he'll be out in a couple of months.

It says everything
except one thing I want to know.

Why he did it.

Why did he do it, Sergeant?
Good soldier like Prew.

Why did he have to just hit his superior
and get in all that trouble? Why?

- Well, it don't make any difference now.
- It makes a difference to me.

Look.

I’ve been worrying because maybe
it was something I had said to Prewitt

to put him in that frame of mind
and make him do something like that.

Itold him I wouldn't marry him.

Why not?

Because I like Prewitt.
I mean, he's a sweet boy.

I like him a lot.

I might even love him.

Never.

Well, you know soldiers, if anyone does.

No, it's not that
I have anything against them.

It's just that I'll be Ieaving
this business soon.

The man I marry
has to hold such a social position

that no one would ever dream
that his wife was anything that I was.

Maybe I shouldn't have told Prew?

Do you think that could have had
anything to do with him hitting that man?

It's in the nature of a soldier
to whack somebody around

every once in a while.

I wouldn't worry about it, princess.
Take care of yourself.

Maggio, give me the little ones.

Maggio.

You're a real Iazy guinea.

You leave this here
for the wheelbarrow man, see?

You and your friend, you get a hammer,
you go on up there and break rock.

He got it in for me today, that...

Let's go up there
so he can't see us so good, huh?

Come on.

Hey, move that truck.
Get it out of there. Move it!

Are you sure you want to let yourself in
for 30 days in the hole, huh?

That's more than you ever pulled before.

I can cut it with a butter knife.

Then why can't you cut just twice
that much right out here in the sun?

ln two months, we'll both be out of here.

So I‘m out of the stockade,
but I‘m not out of the army.

So in nothing flat,
I'm right back in the stockade again.

Don't you understand?

I can't help myself.

You don't understand
'cause you love the army.

You don't understand that the only thing
gonna do me any good

is to get the hell out.

Okay.

Hey, do me a favour, paisan.

Just don't do nothing today, okay?

Okay.

I'm too wem out arguing with you anyway.

Maggio.

- I'm turning you in.
- What for?

Taking off your hat.

Hat's on! Hat's on!

Out of uniform.

- That's a serious offence, boy.
- Oh‚ give me a break. Will you?

You all want a break?

Well...

Okay.

But first you're going to have to
answer me two questions, see?

Okay. What?

Now, first question is,

how do you get a guinea in the bathtub?

I say I don't know.

That's the right answer.

You don't know,
account of you never taken no bath.

Second question.

How do you get the guinea out of the tub?

You give up?

You turn the water on. That‘s how.

Now what you got to say about that, boy?

Fight! Fight!

Don‘t shoot!

Don‘t shoot!

I’ve got him! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Don‘t shoot!

Somebody stop him!

You and you,

carry him down to the truck!

Go on! Go on!

Go on!

You guys all see that little wop?

He's terrific.

He's crazy. It's a shame there ain't
more nuts in the world.

Fatso still thinks he can make him
admit he's just putting on an act.

How bad is he catching it?

Worst I ever saw.

First, Fatso's coming to the hole
and working him over every eight hours,

then every four hours, like clockwork.

On the theory that anticipating pain
at regular intervals would break him down.

Yeah, right. But that didn't do it.

So now Fatso's giving it to him
any old time.

He's "able to beat him up at midnight
and come back 15 minutes later

and start all over again.

Or let him go a whole 24 hours,

and then just when Maggio thinks
maybe he's got Fatso convinced, bam.

Conscientious worker, Sergeant Fatso.

What's he look like by now?

Hamburger.

How's he taking it?

Like he's got a few screws Ioose.

He laughs‚ giggles, makes funny faces.

When he talks, it don't make sense.
Just, "Blah‚ blah, blah, blah."

That's all Fatso can get out of him
no matter how he Iays into him.

What does Major Thompson
have to say about all this?

Nothin‘.

He lets Fatso do what he wants.

It's time to lock it up.

The guy is unbelievable.

Maybe he's really crazy.
That's how he gets so much guts.

Milt, it's absolutely beautiful.

Wait till you get a load of the view.

How did you know this hotel?

Inn.

They call it an inn.

The Haliolani Inn.
You know what that means?

Well, "hali" means beautiful.

The other half means heavenly.
Heavenly house.

I love it, and I love you.

Who says money can't buy happiness?

Milt, you didn't need to
spend the money for a suite.

I would've been just as happy
in a single room.

- The suite's got the great views.
- It's great.

Milt, how did you know this place, really?

I used to come here
when I was a tour guide.

- A tour guide?
- Yeah.

This joint's so classy, none of your
officer friends will ever find you here.

The only people who come here are
upper-crust tourists from the mainland.

That's why I brought you here.

- Is that the only reason?
- Yeah.

The other reason is because I knew
all the lies you had to tell,

you know, to go away with me.

You know, I'm sorry about that.

Oh, Milt. I love you.

Come here.

Tour guide.

Travelling salesman.
Aren’t you full of surprises?

You’ve done everything, haven't you?

Nothing.

I’ve done nothing,
and I've been nobody till I met you.

But when we’re together,
I'm here to tell you,

there ain't another man like me
in the world.

I agree with you.

Milt!

Oh, yeah. Come on in.

Put it right over there.

There you go. Keep the change.

- Thank you, sir.
- Thank you.

I hope you didn’t tip him too much.

You won‘t have anything left of your $600.

So what? Who wants anything left?

Hey, it's going to be
the greatest week of our lives.

- You want a drink? Come on, have a drink.
- All right.

We're going to go horseback riding
on trails you‘ve never been on before.

It‘s like nobody goes there.

We're going to drive cars on back roads
where nobody else goes.

We're going to swim in the surf

where nobody else swims.

And at night, we‘re gonna go to luaus
and dance the hula.

- You know how to dance the hula, baby?
- No‚ I don't.

Come here, I‘ll teach you.

Milt, you know what else would
make this a wonderful weekend?

What's that?

If you didn't drink so much.

That's incredible. You're starting
to sound exactly like a wife.

"Don't spend too much money.
Don‘t drink too much."

Just like a wife. Exactly.

I feel like a wife.

Yeah? Is that good or bad?

I don‘t mean the wife I am now.

I mean the wife I‘m gonna be.

Barrack 10, ten-hut!

Barrack 10 ready for inspection, sir!

Pillow out of alignment. One demerit.

Just write it down.
Let‘s get finished with this barracks.

Got a hell of a busy morning,
thanks to you.

At ease. Rest.

It‘s Maggio, isn't it?

Major went to the hole
and Iooked at him last night.

Probany got scared Maggio
was "able to kick off.

Well, what are they gonna do?

Ship him over to the hospital nut ward
for observation‚

after they get him cleaned up
and patched up

and a bunch of whitewash reports wrote up.

I gotta see him before he goes.
How can I see him?

Hanson,
I'm on cleanup detail this morning.

I'm gonna go on sick call.
Give my detail to Prewitt.

Okay. You get his detail.

Okay, let's sit down here
for a few minutes.

Right around the corner, on the bench.
It's going to be just fine.

Okay, Angelo,
just sit down here for a few minutes.

They're gonna just get your papers
in order. Come on, Angelo.

- Don't hit me though.
- No‚ no, no.

I'm not going to hit you, Angelo.

I'm not going to hit you.
Come on, come on, come on.

Nobody's gonna hit you, Angelo.

Nowjust sit up on this bench here,
and then we'll get your papers

and get into the ambulance
and ride to the hospital.

All right, Maggio, get on the bench.

Hey, buzz off, Corporal.
I don't need you, okay?

Well, you got me until we get him in
the ambulance, then he's all yours.

Get on the bench, Maggio. Right now.

- Okay.
- Please don't hit me though.

Okay. Nobody's gonna hit you, Angelo.

We're just gonna wait here
until I process your papers.

Then we're gonna get into the ambulance,
and then we’re gonna go to the hospital.

- Okay?
- Mind moving your feet?

Thank you.

Mind moving your feet?

Hey, don't bother him. Okay, soldier?

I’ve gotta mop under his feet.

Come on, paisan. Move your feet.

I know you won't hit me.

Okay, Angelo. Come on.

- Come on now. Angelo.
- Let's go.

Please don‘t hit me no more.
Don‘t hit me no more.

Come on.

- Don't hit me no more.
- Come on.

Come on, come on.
Outside to the ambulance.

Come on, come on. Watch the bucket.
Okay. Good, good.

Come on, Angelo.
Come on, come on, come on, come on.

Don't hit me no more!
Don‘t hit me no more!

Angelo. Angelo, I told you,
nobody's going to hit you anymore.

Oh, yeah?

Then where are you taking me?

l told you, Angelo.
I'm taking you to the hospital.

- Taking me to the hospital?
- Yeah. Yeah.

No, you're not.

- Well, Angelo--
- No‚ you're not.

All right, Angelo.
Where do you think I'm taking you?

You're taking me to the hole!

Oh, no, Angelo. No. Easy.

No, I'm not taking you to the hole.
Of course not.

Why would I be taking you to the hole?
Why?

So Fatso can work me over some more.

He ain't had enough.

He never has enough.

Angelo. Angelo, do you understand
that we're riding in an ambulance?

Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Now look, why would we be riding you
in an ambulance to take you to the hole,

That's easy.

Psychological warfare.
That's how he tries to break me down.

First, he hits me and then I think
I don't have to take it no more.

And then he comes back...

and he hits me.

Angelo. Angelo, believe me,
that's not gonna happen anymore.

- You sure?
- Oh, yeah, Angelo.

- Yeah.
- I'm sure. You got my word on that.

I’ve got your word on that, huh?

- Yeah.
- Your word on that?

What do you think I am,
some hayseed moron?

I'm still Angelo Maggio!

You stinkin', Iousy Iiar!

Come on. Come on. Come on!

I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha.

Hey, Chief.

Made sergeant.

When did you get back?

Just before dark.

Then you haven't heard
the latest Iatrine bulletin.

No. What?

Captain Holmes is gone.

- He went to regiment as a major.
- That's good news.

Good news for everybody.

The new CO ain't West Point. ROTC.

First Lieutenant Ross.

But he ain't such a bad guy
for a Chicago Jew Iawyer.

How's Warden?

He's on furlough.

That's the best news.

I thought you liked the Warden.

Well, look, Prew.

Lieutenant Ross don't care nothing
about no boxing championships,

so this ain't a jockstrap company no more.

Kowalski got shipped out,

and the rest of the jocks
don‘t want no trouble with you.

The treatment's over, so just relax
and try not to start no trouble with them.

I don't want no trouble.

I'm still a 30-year man.

Now you're talking.

Come over to Troy's. I’ll buy the drinks.

No. Hey, thanks. Not tonight, huh?

Hey, Jack, we owe you
for the last couple of rounds.

Forget it. I‘ll see ya next week.

- Okay. We'll be here.
- Take it easy, guys.

Hello, Fatso.

Look who's here.

Hiya, Prewitt.

How's it feel being outside again?

I’ll tell you about it.

Why don't we step over here,
and we'll talk about it?

Okay. Anything you say, Prewitt.

Well?

What do you want to talk about?
I ain't got all night.

This.

I hear you carry a knife. Use it.

Maybe I ain't got it with me.

I hear you always got one.

Okay. But I hate taking candy from babies.

What are you, some kind of sore-head?

I never treated you no different
than anybody else.

That's what I‘m counting on.

There were six others released after me.

Make your move, Fatso.

I ever tell you about Prewitt?

Prewitt?

You mean Robert E. Lee Prewitt?

You told me he was court-martialed
a while ago.

That‘s right.

He got three months in the stockade.
Great soldier.

He took the treatment like a rest eure,

until she told him he wasn't
good enough to marry her.

- Who's she?
- Lorene.

Lorene's a hooker.
Her real name's Alma Schmidt.

A hooker.

Not even a snob from Baltimore like you.

But she can‘t marry
a plain soldier either.

Milt, why are you suddenly
brooding about this now?

You're right. We should be enjoying
this great show. Look at these people.

Pigskin, pci and mai tai. Live for today.

Tomorrow they go back to
being chambermaids and waiters.

I like him.

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

AW, careful, careful.

Can an officer do that?

Where you going?

Was I that bad?

You were drunk.

So I had a couple of drinks.
What's the harm?

It makes you nasty.

What did I do that was nasty?

You rubbed my nose in it.

Rubbed your nose in what?

You never put in for a commission.

How‘d you find that out? From Dana?

Yes. Long after you told me
that you had applied.

Listen, Karen,

the reason is 'cause I didn‘t want it
to interfere with the time we have

to spend together,
which a commission would.

And why was it you didn't tell me
instead of Iying to me?

Because I knew you'd react
just like this. That's why.

But if you had been honest,
maybe I wouldn't have.

Did you ever think of that?
I don't know what's happened to you, Milt.

You were honest once. That was
the thing about you that got to me.

If you thought it, you said it,
and to hell with the consequences.

I admired that.

I was looking for something
when you came along,

and I thought you were it,

but you‘ve lost it.

How the hell honest are you
to sit on it like this?

To put on an act like you believe me,
to go away to 3 hotel with me,

to give me a reward for doing something
you already know I didn‘t do?

What the hell do you call that?

I call that being a fool.

I was just hoping you would do it.

I was hoping you'd make it happen
because you loved me.

Why come out with it all of a sudden?
You think that was gonna make me do it?

I don't want you to do it anymore.
I don't want you to suffer for my sake.

That's exactly the way I feel.

I ain't interested in suffering
for anybody.

You know, you used to be tough at first.

Now you're nothing but a whining cry-baby
that I can't tell the truth to

because you can't take it.

And so they got married
and lived unhappily ever after.

Amen.

You know, we‘re exactly alike,
the two of us.

Exactly. It‘s incredible.
We‘re exactly alike.

I have never been so miserable
in my entire life

since the first day that I met you.

Well, neither have I.

But I wouldn't trade a minute of it.

Neither would l.

Yes?

I‘m comin'.

I'm comin'. I‘m comin'.

I‘m comin'!

Prew?

Prew, God.

Oh, God! Prew?

Prew? Prew!

Prew!

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four. One--

Okay, Iet's go.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.

Morning, Top.

Hello, Warden.

You're late. We just put you on report.

I'd laugh, but it makes
the back of my eyes hurt.

I think I've been on the moon
for two days.

Well, you sure could have fooled me.

Lewis.

I marked this bottle before I left.
If there's one drop missing...

You‘re saved. Where's the new CO?

Lieutenant Ross is out.

He's out, is he? Riding horseback
with Colonel Delbart, I bet?

Water. Did you water this?

Hey, Top, it wasn't me.

Was it you?

Indiens ain't allowed to drink.

Must've been Ross.

All these guys from Chicago are gangsters.

So, what's been happening?

Not much except your buddy Prewitt's
AWOL for two days.

What?

That‘s right.

He came out of the stockade
like a pussycat. Then he's gone.

Of course you pulled his rations
and put him on report, right?

Well, no, not yet.

Not yet?
What the hell are you waiting for?

For you to come back and handle it.

Who the hell ever authorised you to think?

Now I’ll have to pick it up retroactively.

How's that gonna look on the report?
Some acting first sergeant you make.

It's gonna take me two months
to make up for what you’ve done

to myjob in a-- in a week.

How the hell did you manage
to keep it a secret?

Lieutenant Ross doesn't know
Who's in the company yet and who ain't.

It's no secret to the guys,

but everybody knows nobody's out
to get Prewitt anymore.

What about Kowalski?

Kowalski got busted and shipped out.

- Who busted him?
- Ross.

He's seen Kowalski
give close order drill just once.

No kiddin'.

Oh, yeah. One more thing.
Did you hear about Fatso Judson?

What about him?

Old Fatso Judson was killed last night.

Someone knifed him in an alley downtown.

Is that right?

Hey, Top. You want to put the bottle away?
Ross is coming.

- Ten-hut!
- As you were.

Well, well, well, well, Sergeant.

Can't tell you what a pleasure
it is to see you here.

Heard so much about you.
How was your furlough?

I had to come back to rest up.

Sounds like you had a good time.

Yeah, I‘ve been running with a dame
who's trying to kill me.

I’ve got something for you, Sergeant,
from Colonel Delbart.

It‘s an application form for a commission.

Now, the colonel personally
handed it to me to hand to you.

Told me to tell you if you couldn't
find one, you don't have an excuse now.

Yeah? Well, you tell the colonel

that I can find anything I want to find
in this man's army.

Have a drink, Lieutenant.

Lewis, get the man a chair.

- Right, Top. Here you go, sir.
- Lewis.

Thank you. Don't mind if I do.

Tastes a little thin.

Somebody's been watering your whiskey.

I tell you what I'm gonna do, Lieutenant.

What's that?

In return for you busting Kowalski,

I'm gonna fill this out right away
and put it on your desk for you to sign.

I’m gonna do it today
or I'll change my mind again.

Terrific. What a feather
in everybody's cap, including mine.

Yeah. Well, I want you to get the credit.

I‘ll sign it immediately and send it on.
Good.

When you have time to think about it,
Sergeant,

tell me how you feel
we ought to handle this Prewitt thing.

I know he's been over the hill
for 48 hours.

I was waiting for you to get back.

Well, I better get over
to the club for Iunch.

Hey, Top.

What are you gonna do about Prewitt?

Same thing I'd do for any other hardhead

Who's got nothing on his feeble mind
but making extra paperwork for me.

I'm going to give him another day.

No!

How do you feel?

Sore. How do I look?

Could have been worse.

It's a long cut, but it‘s not very deep.

I put a lot of antiseptic on it
as I bandaged it.

You should have been a nurse.

Is it in the paper?

What's it say?

"Soldier found dead in alley.

The body of Staff Sergeant James R. Judson

was discovered Thursday night
across from Troy‘s Bar,

the apparent victim of a knife wound.

No witnesses to the stabbing have
been found, according to police.

The deceased had been chief guard at
the Schofield Barracks Post Stockade.

Because of this,

it is believed the killer may have been
an ex-prisoner seeking revenge."

Don't mention me?

Doesn't mention anybody
except Staff Sergeant Judson.

Did it on purpose.

Make me think I‘m safe
so I come out of hiding.

But it doesn't really matter.
You‘re here. You're going to stay here.

You want me to stay here?

Of course I do.

You can get in a lot of trouble
for hiding me.

I'm not worried about that.

Maybe you should worry.

Look, couple of days, I’ll be fine.
I'll get moving.

You're not moving anywhere.

You're going to stay right here
where it‘s safe,

and that's the last thing
I'm going to hear about it.

How come?

I don't know how come.

No reason...

except I love you.

Yeah, Sergeant Warden.

Hello, Mi/t.

How are you?

I'm wonderful right now.

I called to say thank you, Milt.

How'd you find out so quick?

Dana came home in one of his minor reges.

Colonel Delbart teased him at the club

because Dana could never get you
to put in your application.

And the new company commander did it
in five minutes.

Hey, Ross didn‘t do it. I did it myself.

Just started thinking maybe
I'm getting yellow, you know?

Afraid of something new.

You're a complicated person.

Yeah. Who ain't?

I ain't.

Some of the officers at Division
are chartering a fishing boat tomorrow.

Dana is taking Chip.

What time they leaving the house?

Well, you know fishing.
First thing in the morning.

Well, then I'll see you
second thing in the morning.

Ten-hut.

Slide it over, ugly.

Yes, sir. Very good, sir. Would you
like me to shine your shoes, sir?

Ain‘t got nothing better to do
than to sit around here and gossip

like a bunch of old Iadies, huh?

I’ll find something for you to do.

Don't worry, Top. If you make officer,
you won‘t stay officer.

How do you know?

At the officer's mess,
they put out water glasses,

and I ain't never seen you drink
from nothing but a bottle.

Oh, damn. What the hell is that?

Must be doing some dynamiting
down in Wheeler Field.

Yeah, I heard they were clearing
the ground for a new airstrip.

Are they playing games out there, or what?

- Hey‚ Serge, what's going on?
- I don’t know.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Look at those planes coming in.
Look at that.

We got some planes over there.

Hickam, I think, aren't they?
What's going on?

Let’s go!

Here they come now.

Let‘s go. Let’s go!

Come on. Let’s go inside.

Come on, come on, come on.
In you go. Move it!

All right. Get away from those windows
and quiet down. Quiet down.

It's only a war.
Ain‘t you guys ever been in a war before?

All right. Now listen to me.

I want every man to get his rier
and go to his bunk and stay there.

- What?
- Why?

There's no need to go outside.

You'll only get your butt shut off,
and you can't do any good anymore.

Don't we get to shoot back?

You'll get to do plenty of shootin'.

I want you to go up
and put on your full field uniform--

Here come some more!

All right, you guys, Iet's go.
Get your rifles and get to your box.

All you non-coms will be moving out
to our beach positions

as soon as this attack is over.

BAR men, report to me here.

All right, Top, what do you want
me to do with the kitchen BARS?

I want you to assemble all your men.
Start packing up that kitchen, full field.

Stoves and everything.

By the time we get our orders to move out,
I want that kitchen ready to roll.

Right. Okay. Come on.

Henderson, Wilson. Find 12 men.
Get them over to the arms room

and start loading clips
and belts right away.

- Let's go.
- What about machine guns, Top?

Can we elevate them high enough
on those ground tripods?

- We can put them on a railing.
- All right. Let‘s do that. Let's go.

BAR men, right?

Get over to the arms room.

Pick your weapons and all the clips
and belts you can handle,

and get out to the quad
and start pumping away. Let’s go.

- Let's go.
- Hey, Top!

- Supply sergeant won‘t give us no ammo.
- What?

The Japanese are bombing Pearl Harbour.

Please stay in your homes.
Do not go on the streets.

This is a real attack.

Japanese planes are bombing
our naval and army installations.

I'm only following orders.

Shove your orders. Give us the keys.

I have to have a signed order
from an officer.

There ain't no officer around here,
you jerk.

- Then ain't no live ammo.
- Chief, knock down the door.

He‘s in the way.

Knock it down. He'll get out of the way.

Let‘s go! Get inside, you guys.
Get in there. You guys too.

Tell him to give me that bottle.
Give me that bottle.

Come on. Let‘s go.

Now, remember,
when these suckers come over,

give them a good lead. Good lead.

Here they come!

All right!

Shoot. I didn't lead him enough.

Relax. You'll get it next time.

Sergeant Warden!

What the hell are you doing there?
You have to be taking care of the company.

We have orders to move out
to the beach positions in one hour.

We're all ready to go, sir.

We gotta get the kitchen
ready to move too.

Kitchen's ready to roll, sir.

What about supplies?

Supply is leading clips and belts, sir.

The company's ready to roll
as soon as this attack is over.

Why don't you get yourself a BAR,
come out here and join us?

Everything really is taken care of?

Yes, sir.

Here they come!

Come on over here, Lieutenant.

- Mike, move over. Give him some room.
- All right.

Here comes two more.

Igot him! lgot him!

You got him?

Well, damn it. We got him.

Get the lieutenant a drink, Chief.

- Here it comes again.
- Watch it!

The damage inflicted on Pearl Harbour
was by far the most serious.

Hard/y a building appears
to be left undamaged.

At least one of the battleships
has been sunk

with its superstructure awash
in the still flaming oiI-covered waters.

Most of the high-altitude bombers
struck there

and on Hickam Field
directly across the channel.

I can't understand how
I could've slept through the bombing.

It‘s nature's way.

You need the energy to help heal.

What did he say about Schofield?

Nothing.

Wheeler, Bellows,
Kaneohe and Ewa were all bombed.

Attention. Attention, please. Attention.

What did he say about Schofield, damn it?

Nothing, Prew.
It was never even mentioned.

- Starting tonight, all persons will--
- Where are my pants?

In the closet. Why?

What do you think you're doing?

I'm going back to my outfit.
That's what the hell I'm doing.

You'd never make it.
Your side would split open.

I can make it.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So what will they do?

Throw you in the stockade
and try you for murder?

All persons ought to be off the streets.

All windows must be covered
so that nobody can be seen

from the outside.

I forgot about it.

Well, you better remember it.

If you go back now,
all you are is a murderer,

war OF no war.

It wouldn't be good
for the country or anybody.

All persons ought to be off the streets.

All windows must be covered
so that nobody can be seen

from the outside.

Attention, please. Attention.

The military government has dec/ared
a blackout and curfew. ..

Forgot about it.

Ijust. ..

plain forgot about it.

I want that barbed wire strung
from one end of this beach to the other,

and I want it done right.

All right, position 27.

Your men know where it begins
and where it ende?

Yeah. Right, Sergeant.

And then Iet's get
the barbed wire stringing.

You guys like to hear your guns
go boom, boom?

- What the hell are you shooting at?
- We thought we heard something.

- Japanese?
- Yeah.

Yeah? Show me. Where?

We made a mistake.
We weren't the only ones.

Don't I know that.

Sergeant Warden?

Yes, sir.

Chief, go along the line.

See if you can't knock it into their heads
that they've got to be careful.

- Right, Top.
- What were they firing at?

- Just invasion jitters, sir.
- Oh, yeah.

The radio's been carrying rumours
about Jap Iandings all over the place.

Before you go off to Schofield,
I want this Prewitt thing settled.

All taken care of, sir.

Put him on the AWOL list
on the morning report.

Good. MPS catch him,
I'll have him court-martialed.

Well, there's no need to do that, sir.

I think a good stiff dose
of company punishment will do.

I don't see that.

Out of the three men that were AWOL
before the bombing,

two of them have come back voluntarily,
but not Prewitt.

That's because Prewitt's
regular army, sir.

What does that mean?

Well, means he‘s probably drunk somewhere.

Even ifa bomb fell right on him,
he wouldn't know it.

You and your regular army.

He'll be back in a few days. You‘ll see.

All right. We'll see.

Light it up. Let‘s go.

- Okay.
- All right, Iet's move.

Let‘s go, Iet‘s go.

All right, now, lwant all you men
to go into the supply room.

Get all the tents,

field telephone equipment
and wool clothing you can find.

Bring them out and load them
onto these trucks. Let's go.

Come on. Let‘s go!

- Yeah?
- Prewitt, this is Warden.

How did you know where I was?

I'm a genius.

Compared to you, brickhead,
everybody's a genius.

I miss you too.

Why didn‘t you come back
when you‘re supposed to?

I couldn't.

So what's the deal?
They got me down for it or not?

For what?

Fatso.

I don't think so.

But you're not sure?

Listen, I'm sure nobody
from the provost marshal's office

has been around here.

If they connected you with it,
they’d have been around.

I'd bet my reputation on that.

What reputation?

As a lover, stupid.

So what happens if I come back?

Hey, listen.

Don't think I don't appreciate
what you're trying to do for me, yeah?

Don't kid yourself, pally.

I don't even know why I called you,
except maybe to tell you

what's gonna happen to you
if you don't come back real quick.

- Yeah, what?
- There's a war on.

They're gonna stop calling you AWOL
and start calling you deserter.

Deserter?

That's what I said, "deserter. "

Now, it's up to you. So long, brickhead.

Everything loaded?
- Yeah, Top.

Okay, then. Let's get moving.
I'll be right behind you.

Don't do it, Prew.

Please, don't do it.

I gotta do it.

I should have done it before,
but I gotta do it now.

You don't even know where your outfit is.

I know exactly where.

I know all 29 positions,
just like the back of my hand.

And they'll arrest you for murder.

They don't connect me with Fatso.

You see, Warden called,

and he said if I can just
make it back on my own,

that he may be able to get me off
with just company punishment for the AWOL.

And you would risk everything on promises?

He didn‘t promise nothing.

He just said he’d try.

But I know.

I know if I can just make it back. ..

Warden will take care of me.

And what if he doesn't?

I still got to go back.

Because if I don‘t,
pretty soon I’ll be a deserter.

Prewitt may be a hardhead,
a foul-up, a Bolshevik,

but Prewitt ain't no deserter.

No.

Regular army Prewitt, 30-year man, right?

That‘s right.

That‘s right.

Only 24 more years to go.

I won't let you go.

Stay here.

Look, Lorene--

Alma Schmidt.

Don't you see?

We were gonna split up anyway.

- No.
- Yeah.

You're going back to Portland,

and you're gonna marry some guy
from the Chamber of Commerce, remember?

No, but I won't. lwon't. I'll marry you.

We can be together.
I love you. I love you.

I mean, we can get married.

We'll be happy. I love you. I love you.

That's nice.

I'm glad you said that.
Makes me feel better.

When I get a pass, I'll come back,
and we'll talk about it. Okay?

What has the army ever done for you?

What did the army ever do for you
besides beat you up

and treat you like dirt?

What do you want to go
back there for, Prew?

What do I want to go back for?

I'm a soldier.

Hello, darling.

Hello. Did you have
any trouble getting away?

No, not really.

It just took a little arranging.

But you came anyway?

Of course.

I love you.

Listen. ..

I got to tell you something.

First thing I did
when I got back to the orderly room

is I went up to Ross's desk,
took out my application and tore it up.

I knew you would.

I couldn‘t help it.

Of course you couldn't.

I think I‘ve known that all the time.

I don't want to lose you, baby.
I need you.

Don't say that.

Please, don't say that.

What you need is what you‘ve got.

What do you need? Whatever it is,
I sure as hell didn‘t help you find it.

That's not true.

You‘ve given me my freedom
because you loved me.

I don't think now
I would want to marry you, Milt.

We are exactly alike.

And we‘ve been Iosing it.

You know we have.

I gotta get back to the guys.

We'll see each other, you know that.

Sure.

Aren’t you gonna kiss me?

Halt!

Who goes there?

- Fflend.
- Advance‚ friend. Be recognised.

That's good. That’s far enough, all right?

He‘s a GI anyways.

What the hell are you doing out here, Mac?

Comin' from visiting my wahine.

Got a pass?

No pass. Let‘s take him into the station.

Wait a minute, Sergeant.

Why do you want to make
all that extra paperwork for yourself?

Take me back to my outfit.

Let the first sergeant
figure out what he wants to do.

What's your outfit? Who‘s the top?

G Company. Sergeant Warden of the 29th.

Harry. You know Sergeant Warden,
G Company?

No, but we can run the guy
over there and ask him.

What if this guyjust happened to
have stole this nice, clean uniform?

What if he's a saboteur

and he's got buddies waiting down
the road to open up on us?

Oh, for Pete's sake.

I ain't no saboteur.

Do I look like a saboteur?

Harry, get on the radio station,
tell 'em we got a man here.

We want to know
if there's anything on him.

Unit three to field station.
Come in, station.

Field station. Go ahead, three.

Station, we got a GI here.

We want to check him out,
see if there's anything on him.

Okay, three. What's the man's name?

Hey, Fred. What's his name?

Oh, yeah, friend. Get your ID.

Iain't got no ID.

What you mean you ain't got no--
You got dog tags, ain't ya?

Yeah. Yeah, I got dog tags.

Toss them over please.

Two to three, the captain said
to take the man into custody

and deliver him to the provost.

Hey! Hey!

All right, get back.
We'll drive down and search for him.

There he is. Hold it!

Hold it right there--

- Hold it!
- Hold it down there, soldier. Stop!

Hold it! Halt! Hold it or I‘ll shoot!

We're going to have to fire. Halt!

What the hell was that?

Yeah, this is position 26.

I got automatic fire about 200 yards
in front of me. Can you identify?

It's too dark to make out from here.

Roger.

Well, they don't know
what it is either, boys.

Let‘s go. Come on, Iet‘s go. Go. Go!

Igot him! lgot him!

Igot him!

No. Not like this.

I don't want to go like this.

Don't touch him. Don't nobody touch him.

Yeah, that's him.

Anybody know this guy?

Want me to check his pockets?

No, wait a minute.

He’s a good man, the Warden.

He understands I wouldn't like 'em
messing with me.

It won’t be long. Let 'em wait.

Hardhead. Stupid hillbilly hardhead.

I’m going to miss you too, Top.

What happened?

He stopped across the road.
Then he took off on us.

We fired a few rounds just to scare him.

I know you're going to
take care of me, Warden.

Make this come out line of duty.

I don't want no boot hill.

You keep me
in the army cemete1y at Schofield.

I know you'll take care
of that for me, Top.

Can-- Can you identify him, sir?

Prewitt. Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt.

So, he was a soldier.

Soldier. He's a soldier
trying to get back to his outfit.

I could've let him go, but I didn't.

Relax, Sergeant.
This one was in the cards all the way.

From how far back? You'll never know.

Was he a friend of yours, Sergeant?

He was a soldier in my company.

He was the best soldier.

Hell, he was the only soldier.

This way, please.

Name, please?

Proceed on.

Go ahead. Name?

- Godfrey.
- Go ahead.

- Godfrey.
Proceed, please.

- Name? Go ahead, please.
- Simpson.

Name?

You know, I really don't understand.

I thought that we were supposed to
get onboard ship here?

No, no.
We're boarding outside the harbour.

The navy doesn't want to risk
bringing an ocean liner inside.

- Name?
- Mrs Ernest Natividad.

- Board, please. Name?
- Leo Magny.

You know,
I‘ll really be glad to get back to Oregon.

Although I had a terrificjob here.

International factors.
I was a private secretary.

That sounds like a good job.

I hated to leave.

But I really couldn't stay.

See, my fiancé was killed December 7th.

I'm so sorry.

He was a fighter pilot at Hickam Field.

Tried to get his plane in the air,
and they shot him down.

You must have read about it.

They awarded him the Silver Star.

His mother wrote me,
and she said she wanted me to have it

because we were supposed
to be married soon.

That was a very fine thing to do.

They're from a fine family.

Old Virginia family, the Prewitts.

His grandfather was a general under Lee.

That's who he was named after,
Robert E. Lee Prewitt.

Who?

Robert E. Lee Prewitt.
Silly old mintjulep name, isn't it?

I think it's a nice name.

- Name, please.
- Lorene Rogers.

Board, please.

Name, please.

- Mrs Dana Holmes and son, Chip.
- Board, please.

- Name?
- Phyllis Leman and two children.

Board, please.

Howard Granson Matthew.
