...those orders won't be worth
the paper they're written on.

:05:18
Isn't this your photograph?
:05:23
-Where did you get this?
-It took some doing...

:05:26
...since your people
couldn't identify you.

:05:28
Finally your C-in-C Pacific
sent us a copy of your service record.

:05:33
The photograph, fingerprints.
Would you care to have a look?

:05:39
You see, we've known about your actual
rank for nearly a week.

:05:46
Your Navy's in an awkward position.
:05:49
In one sense you're a hero...

In one sense you're a hero...
:05:51
...for making an escape
from the jungle.

:05:54
At the same time, they can't
bring you home...

:06:08
As far as your rank is concerned...
:06:10

:06:13
You'd have the simulated
rank of major.

:06:17
A simulated major. That figures.
:06:22
Well....
:06:27
As long as l'm hooked,
I might as well volunteer.

:06:30
Good show!
:06:33
Oh, Colonel Green, sir.
:06:35
This is Major Shears. He volunteered
to go and help me blow up the bridge.

:06:40
Really?
:06:43
Good show!
:06:44
Jolly good show, major!
