1:18:03
All right, don't just stand here.
1:18:32
...from the headquarters
of the Allied Command in Europe.
1:18:35
I repeat,
there is no official announcement yet.
1:18:38
The report that the war
in Europe has ended...
1:18:41
...has come from only one correspondent.
1:18:43
It has not been confirmed by other
correspondents or by Allied Headquarters.
1:18:47
But here is one highly intriguing fact:
1:18:49
That report has not been denied.
1:18:52
Turn that thing off, will you, Doc?
1:18:56
Has Doug ever said anything to you
about wanting a promotion?
1:19:00
Of course not. l doubt if he's even
conscious of what rank he is.
1:19:04
He never thinks about a promotion.
All he ever thinks about is the war news.
1:19:07
Anybody who says he's bucking
for another stripe is a dirty liar!
1:19:11
Who says he is?
1:19:12
lnsigna, Mannion, some of those
other guys. l heard them talking.
1:19:16
Outside the porthole,
talking loud on purpose so l'd hear them.
1:19:20
Must've guessed l was lying here
in my sack.
1:19:22
What's happened to Doug, anyway?
1:19:24
How would l know?
1:19:26
He's spoken about ten words to me
in as many days.
1:19:29
l'll find out though.
1:19:31
He won't talk, Doc.
1:19:33
l followed him all around the room
this morning while he was shaving.
1:19:36
l begged him to talk to me.
1:19:38
l said, ''You're a fella who needs a friend,
and here l am.
1:19:41
''What's all this trouble
between you and the crew?
1:19:43
''You tell me and l'll fix it up like that! ''
1:19:45
Then l gave him a lot of good advice.
Things like: ''Keep your chin up.''
1:19:49
You know what he did?
1:19:50
He walked right out of this room
just as though l wasn't here.
1:19:53
And l was here.
1:19:55
Mr. Roberts is turning out to be
like an officer, ain't he?
