:43:02
Shit. Wait and see!
:43:03
1919, the Marines were practicing
dive-bombing off Haiti.
:43:07
Everybody said:
""Premature, wait and see.""
:43:10
We waited, then the Germans
showed us in '37 in Madrid.
:43:13
You mean like at Pearl Harbor?.
- Pearl Harbor, shit!
:43:16
In '32 it was proved that Pearl Harbor
could be attacked from the air.
:43:22
And Admiral Ramsey predicted
it would happen, in detail.
:43:26
When was that?.
- 1937, pal.
:43:30
Wait and see. We waited.
:43:32
December 7th, we saw.
:43:36
The wait-and-seers
will bust your ass every time.
:43:40
I'll drink to that.
- Bet your...
:43:45
How long have you been here?.
- Long enough to hear your lecture.
:43:49
You ought to go on the radio.
How the hell are you?.
:43:52
Alright... Well, I'm celebrating
my birthday. That's how I am.
:43:55
That's a problem
we all have once a year.
:43:58
My God,
now you got my kid flying for you.
:44:02
How's the boy doing?.
- Just fine.
:44:04
He's a good pilot. Got him in an F4F.
He'll be shipping out any day.
:44:11
Coming from you that means a lot.
:44:13
No. He's good man, a natural pilot,
good attitude, good marksman.
:44:19
Tom's only deficiency
would be in enemy identification.
:44:27
He's got to learn, you don't win a war
by kissing the enemy.
:44:31
For Christ's sake... - Well, he told
the whole God-damned squadron.
:44:35
I met her. She seems like a nice girl.
- So is Madame Butterfly.
:44:39
She's having trouble with him.
- Now you're having trouble seeing.
:44:44
I've got to shove off.
:44:48
Scuttlebutt says you're going out
on the Yorktown. - That's right.
:44:52
Well, keep your dumb ass
out of drafts. - That's right, buddy.
:44:58
Thanks for keeping an eye on my boy.
I appreciate it.
