:38:00
I'm around, all right.
:38:03
I guess probably you've heard...
:38:05
that Miss Wirth is no longer
in the car rental business.
:38:08
Good. I wouldn't want to see that girl
get into trouble.
:38:12
- Wouldn't you?
- What with rental permits...
:38:15
gas rationing, you know what I mean.
:38:18
Yeah, I certainly admire
your sturdy sense of responsibility.
:38:22
It's just that, that girl has a future.
:38:27
Let's talk about my future.
:38:30
- Do you think you have the time?
- I don't seem to be going anywhere.
:38:39
I hear you handle a jeep real well.
:38:41
Yes, I do have a way with jeeps.
A certain familiarity.
:38:45
I think I understand. You're an army man.
:38:50
- Where'd you get it?
- Italy.
:38:53
That's tough.
:38:55
I tried to enlist myself the day after
those rats bombed Pearl Harbor.
:38:59
What stopped you?
:39:00
Physical. They wouldn't take me.
:39:02
Morning after Pearl, I was the first man
at Marine Recruiting in Sand City.
:39:06
They wouldn't take me.
:39:08
Tough.
:39:09
What do you do in Los Angeles,
Mr. Macreedy?
:39:11
I'm retired.
:39:14
You might say
I was forced into retirement.
:39:22
What were you looking for in Adobe Flat?
:39:25
Like I told you, I was looking
for a fellow named Komako.
:39:28
And like you told me, he wasn't there.
:39:33
- What's so funny?
- Nothing.
:39:36
Just I don't believe you.
:39:39
I believe a man is as big
as what he is seeking.
:39:41
I believe you are a big man, Mr. Macreedy.
:39:44
Flattery will get you nowhere.
:39:45
Why would a man like you
be looking for a lousy Jap farmer?
:39:49
- You can't tell. Maybe I'm not so big.
- Yes, you are.
:39:53
I believe a man is as big
as what will make him mad.
:39:57
Nobody around here seems big enough
to get you mad.
:39:59
- What makes you mad, Mr. Smith?
- Me?
