The report that the war
in Europe has ended...
:25:02
...has come from only one correspondent.
:25:04
It has not been confirmed by other
correspondents or by Allied Headquarters.
:25:08
But here is one highly intriguing fact:
:25:10
That report has not been denied.
:25:13
Turn that thing off, will you, Doc?
:25:17
Has Doug ever said anything to you
about wanting a promotion?
:25:21
Of course not. l doubt if he's even
conscious of what rank he is.
:25:25
He never thinks about a promotion.
All he ever thinks about is the war news.
:25:28
Anybody who says he's bucking
for another stripe is a dirty liar!
:25:32
Who says he is?
:25:33
lnsigna, Mannion, some of those
other guys. l heard them talking.
:25:37
Outside the porthole,
talking loud on purpose so l'd hear them.
:25:41
Must've guessed l was lying here
in my sack.
:25:43
What's happened to Doug, anyway?
:25:45
How would l know?
:25:47
He's spoken about ten words to me
in as many days.
:25:50
l'll find out though.
:25:52
He won't talk, Doc.
:25:54
l followed him all around the room
this morning while he was shaving.
:25:57
l begged him to talk to me.
:25:59
l said, ''You're a fella who needs a friend,
and here l am.
:26:02
''What's all this trouble
between you and the crew?
:26:04
''You tell me and l'll fix it up like that! ''
:26:07
Then l gave him a lot of good advice.
Things like: ''Keep your chin up.''
:26:10
You know what he did?
:26:12
He walked right out of this room
just as though l wasn't here.
:26:14
And l was here.
:26:16
Mr. Roberts is turning out to be
like an officer, ain't he?
:26:37
Doug boy, we thought you were up in
the radio shack listening to the war news.
:26:40
Don't you want to go out
and get a cup of coffee?
:26:43
-Yeah, sure. l'll go with you.
-No, l don't want to. You go ahead.
:26:48
Will you get out anyway?
l want to talk to Doc.
:26:51
All right. l'm goin' for a cup of coffee.
No, l'm not.
:26:54
l'm going to the radio shack
and listen to the war news.
:26:56
You're not the only one interested.
:26:58
See you later, Doc.
