:21:02
Your car's here, General.
:21:05
It's $34, all right.
:21:07
At Adm. Jessup's request,
I've had The Scotch House...

:21:09
send you three yards of tweed, sir.
:21:11
It's for Mrs. Hallerton.
:21:12
It won't get him
his Marine division, Charlie...

:21:15
but it's generous of him.
Thank him for me.

:21:17
It was good to see you again, sir.
:21:19
- Good night.
- Good night.

:21:24
Miss Barham,
there's a car downstairs for you...

:21:26
- if you'd like me to take you down...
- No, thank you. I'll manage.

:21:32
I had a lovely evening, Commander.
Please ask me again.

:21:41
Was I rude, Charlie,
in leaving all those good-byes to you?

:21:44
It wasn't noticed, sir.
:21:47
I've got the damnedest headache.
:21:49
I'll fix you a drink
before your bath, Admiral.

:21:54
Charlie, in seven weeks,
I've got to go back to Washington...

:21:57
and testify before the Joint Committee
on Military Affairs.

:22:00
On the agenda is a review of the Army's
new long-range bomber program.

:22:05
And there'll be speculation...
:22:08
as to whether that doesn't make
carrier-based aircraft obsolete.

:22:12
In short, they're out
to scrap the Navy again.

:22:18
Charlie, the Air Corps is coming out of
this war the darling of the services.

:22:22
The Army and its Air Corps.
:22:24
The Navy will be the runt of the litter.
:22:28
They'll scrap us...
:22:30
like they do after every war.
:22:32
Limit our capital ships...
:22:38
reduce our crews to cadres,
strip us back to Pearl Harbor level.

:22:43
Then they'll scream
how ill-prepared we are...

:22:45
when somebody hits us
with another Pearl Harbor.

:22:48
All Washington is bug-eyed
over this invasion of Europe.

:22:52
And this invasion of Europe
is an all Army show.

:22:57
That's why we're here, Charlie.
:22:59
To remind the Congress
of the United States...
