told him to do what he can,
but I don't suppose that'll be very much.

1:11:04
You mean we can't expect the army
1:11:06
to go charging off 20 miles
into Jap territory

1:11:09
on the chance of finding three corpses
and a burnt-out plane.

1:11:12
That's about the size of it, yes.
1:11:14

1:11:19

1:12:25
Aye, perhaps he will.

1:12:32
He said he would come back.
