1:23:02
Doc, that's not good enough.
1:23:05
We've gotta think of something
to lift this ship out of the water...
1:23:08
...and turn it around the other way.
1:23:12
You're gonna blow your lids
when you hear this idea!
1:23:14
Oh, what a sweet idea!
1:23:16
You said l never finish anything l start.
Boy, you're wrong.
1:23:18
Tonight l started something
and l'm gonna finish it.
1:23:20
-Wait a minute, what is it?
-A firecracker.
1:23:23
We're gonna heave a firecracker
under that old man's bunk, and bam!
1:23:28
Wake up, you unpatriotic old slob!
lt's V-E Day!
1:23:32
Did you ever see such a hand-painted,
hand-packed firecracker in your life?
1:23:36
lt's the most beautiful firecracker
l've ever seen, but will it work?
1:23:40
Sure it will! Well, l think it will.
1:23:42
Haven't you tested it?
lt's gotta work, it's just gotta.
1:23:45
l'll take it to the laundry, my laboratory.
l've got all the makings there.
1:23:48
lf this one works,
l can make another in two minutes.
1:23:50
We'll wait here. Be sure you've got enough
to make it loud. What about powder?
1:23:54
Powder? This ain't no popgun.
lt's a firecracker.
1:23:57
l used fulminate of mercury!
1:24:03
Fulminate of mercury? That stuff's murder.
Do you suppose he means it?
1:24:06
Of course not! Where would he get
fulminate of mercury?
1:24:10
l don't know. He's pretty resourceful.
1:24:13
-Well, how about a little drink?
-Right.
1:24:17
Doc, l've been living with a genius.
1:24:23
This makes everything worthwhile, a whole
year and a half he spent in his bunk.
1:24:27
How else could you celebrate VE Day?
1:24:31
A firecracker under the old man's bunk!
1:24:38
-To better days.
-Right.
1:24:41
And to a great American,
Frank Thurlowe Pulver...
1:24:46
...soldier, statesman, scientist.
