:59:01
Bernessa, get the drums going.
Get all the men together.
:59:03
- Pvt. Cuenca?
- Yes, sir?
:59:05
You accomplished your mission. I think
he deserves a red star, Miss Barnes.
:59:09
Red star, indeed.
:59:10
In his last composition, he spelled
"liberty" with a "U" instead of an "E."
:59:19
Say, Colonel, it will only take one informer
to tip this whole deal off to the Japs.
:59:24
That's right.
:59:27
- What of it?
- Nothing. Just thinking out loud, I guess.
:59:32
I don't know what I'm standing around for
with so much to be done.
:59:36
Maximo, I've outlined
a course of study for the children.
:59:39
You tell them they must
keep up on their studies now.
:59:41
They must brush their teeth twice a day.
:59:43
Tell them to eat lots of greens
if they can get them.
:59:46
I'm leaving with Col. Madden.
:59:48
- But I'm going along.
- That's out of the question.
:59:51
Besides, you must take charge
of the children.
:59:53
But he promised me.
He said I could be a scout.
:59:56
Yes, I did, and I have been
meaning to speak...
:59:58
You've done altogether too much
playing at war for your age. I think...
1:00:02
- I'm going to be a scout.
- Maximo, you mustn't...
1:00:04
If you don't mind, Colonel,
Maximo is still my pupil.
1:00:09
Now, you get that nonsense
out of your head.
1:00:11
- I'll get the outline.
- I'm not going back.
1:00:14
Maximo, if you insist
on this stubbornness...
1:00:17
I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave
without saying goodbye.
1:00:21
I'm going with you.
1:00:27
Maximo, come here.
1:00:32
Sit down.
1:00:36
Miss Barnes loves you very much.
1:00:38
I know. I'm sorry, but I want to go.
1:00:40
You can't. After tomorrow,
the Japs will be chasing us night and day.
1:00:44
We're going to have to move fast.
1:00:46
We'll be sleeping in swamps.
There'll be days without food.
1:00:48
Sounds okay to me.
1:00:50
But you're much too important
for us to risk.
1:00:52
You're the guy we're fighting this war for.
1:00:54
I'd rather be a Scout.
1:00:56
This thing isn't going to last forever.
And after it's over...
1:00:59
you're going to have to be the one
to build and plan.
