to remind him we have
obligations all around it.

:08:02
We have to support Stalin...
:08:04
while he fights the bulk
of the Nazi army.

:08:07
We have to assist Churchill
to keep England functioning.

:08:11
We have to protect our flanks,
the Panama Canal...

:08:14
and General Douglas
MacArthur.

:08:20
I need him.
The country needs him.

:08:22
We can't leave him
to the Japanese.

:08:24
He won't leave the Philippines unless
you order him off, Mr. President.

:08:34
Cut an order.
Put my name to it.

:08:36
L- O-5-O-6-7-3-D. L-9-2-6...
:08:40
So long, baby.
:08:42
That's 140 million bucks
the Japs won't get.

:08:45
L- 4-9-4...
:08:47
I'm army to the marrow
of my bones, Dick.

:08:50
I've never disobeyed
an order in my life.

:08:53
Now, for the first time,
I feel bound to disobey.

:08:56
Sir, you couldn't.
You'd be court-martialed.

:08:59
Then I'll resign my commission
and fight on here as a private.

:09:02
I want you to direct a statement
for the president to that effect.

:09:06
General, pardon me,
but you don't mean that.

:09:08
I will not leave!
I'll stay here with my boys.

:09:11
Sir, you are the only man alive
that can save the Philippines.

:09:17
They would never have issued
an order to this effect...

:09:20
unless they intended you to mount
an immediate counteroffensive.

:09:26
Damn it, those convoys
they diverted,

:09:28
the troops and supplies
that never got here...

:09:30
they're waiting for you
in Australia.

:09:33
And if you leave now, you can
be back before the food runs out.

:09:42
Sir, you cannot disobey
a presidential order.

:09:52
The president.
