:33:04
The garrison at Darwin,
up here,
:33:06
doesn't have enough troops
to hold for more than 48 hours.
:33:10
So our best plan, therefore,
is to show token resistance...
:33:14
and fall back rapidly to this,
the Brisbane Line.
:33:18
To the north, the enemy
will find only burnt offerings.
:33:22
Meanwhile in the southeast,
we will throw everything...
:33:25
into the fight for the cities
and the farmlands around them.
:33:29
This is the living heart
of Australia,
:33:32
and we shall defend it
with our lives.
:33:35
- General.
- Thank you.
:33:39
Gentlemen,
:33:43
I've been deeply moved...
:33:45
and deeply stirred...
:33:48
by the allied efforts,
:33:50
and by the courage and
determination of the Australians...
:33:53
as expressed by
General Blamey, but...
:33:56
as supreme commander of
the southwest Pacific area,
:34:00
I will not be the leader
of another lost cause.
:34:03
We are attacking, gentlemen.
:34:07
I am going to make
the fight for Australia...
:34:10
up here in New Guinea.
:34:23
Hey, Joe,
whatcha doing out here?
:34:26
You should be home on the farm
walking with your girl,
:34:29
getting your chores done
and sitting down to supper.
:34:33
Or maybe you should
be taking in a show,
:34:36
walking down Broadway,
sipping Coke.
:34:39
The jungles where we live.
It's where you die.
:34:45
Bob, I sent for you...
:34:46
because I don't think you like a stalemate
any better than I do,
:34:49
and that's what we've got
here in New Guinea.
:34:51
They tell me that American boys are actually
throwing away their rifles and turning tail.
:34:56
That hasn't happened since
the first battle of Bull Run.
:34:58
I want you
to relieve Harding.
