:39:00
We need men,
supplies.
:39:03
Plenty of both.
:39:05
Well, bombing Hansa Bay is
one thing. Taking it's another.
:39:09
You can say
that again.
:39:11
Well, let's just say
we won't take Hansa Bay.
:39:16
We won't what?
:39:18
That's it.
We don't want it.
:39:21
General, the farther up the New Guinea
coast we go,
:39:25
The more trouble
we're gonna run into.
:39:27
And I hope you don't think it's
gonna be any easier at Wewak.
:39:29
There's 60,000 of them holed up
there, sharpening their samurai swords.
:39:33
Good. I hope
there's more.
:39:36
We don't want
Wewak either.
:39:38
We'll bypass
their strong points,
:39:40
cut their supply lines and leave
'em to wither and die on the vine.
:39:43
- But what about my men?
- Starve Hansa Bay. Starve Wewak.
:39:47
Starvation is my ally.
:39:50
Okay, soldier,
welcome to the fight.
:39:53
So the cut of the cards has dealt you
a tour of the Pacific.
:39:56
What's it going to be like
fighting the nips,
:39:58
and who is this man, Douglas MacArthur,
your new commander?
:40:01
Let's take a look at the general
who in a few short months...
:40:04
has turned the tide
toward victory.
:40:07
Colonel Whitney! Yes.
We've been expecting you.
:40:09
Welcome to New Guinea. Come in
out of the light. I'm so sorry.
:40:12
That's all right. Please,
have a seat right over here.
:40:15
Excuse me just a moment. I
have to watch this one section.
:40:20
Okay, that's more like it.
:40:26
I understand you're here to organize
Philippine guerrilla activity?
:40:29
Yes, yes, that's right. But you
know, I've just come from Washington.
:40:32
I must tell you
straight off,
:40:34
you've done an absolutely topnotch
job on the general's press.
:40:37
He's America's hero now, and no
small amount of credit belongs to you.
:40:41
Well, we don't want the home
folks to forget about us out here.
:40:43
Oh! I don't think you realize
the dimensions of the excitement.
:40:47
Here. Letters from
congressmen, senators,
:40:50
corporation executives,
even two governors.
:40:52
And thousands of
just plain folks.
:40:56
"You are big, B-I-G,
:40:59
"enough to do a complete
housecleaning...
