How's Aunt Sadie? I'm all right, thanks.
1:53:03
We had a little accident.
I can't tell you about it now.
1:53:06
I'll write to you.
1:53:08
I'm going back to Europe.
1:53:10
I was just wondering
if you had any instructions for me.
1:53:13
Yes. Keep on the job.
Have you got all that down?
1:53:16
Rush it out at once.
1:53:30
This is London.
1:53:31
We have as a guest tonight
a soldier of the press...
1:53:34
one of the army of historians...
1:53:36
writing history from beside
the cannons mouth...
1:53:39
Foreign correspondent
of the New York Globe...
1:53:41
Huntley Haverstock.
1:53:42
Hello, America.
1:53:44
I've been watching a part of the world
being blown to pieces.
1:53:46
A part of the world
as nice as Vermont, Ohio...
1:53:49
Virginia, and California, and Illinois...
1:53:51
lies ripped up and bleeding
like a steer in a slaughterhouse.
1:53:54
I've seen things that make the history of
savages read like Pollyanna legends.
1:53:59
- We'll have to postpone the broadcast.
- Let's go on as long as we can.
1:54:02
Madam, we have a shelter downstairs.
1:54:05
- How about it, Carol?
- They're listening in America, Johnny.
1:54:08
Okay. We'll tell them, then.
1:54:11
I can't read the rest of my speech
because the lights went out...
1:54:14
so I'll have to talk off the cuff.
1:54:16
That noise you hear isn't static.
It's death coming to London.
1:54:20
You can hear the bombs
falling on the streets and the homes.
1:54:23
Don't tune me out. Hang on.
This is a big story. You're part of it.
1:54:27
It's too late to do anything here
except stand in the dark, let them come.
1:54:30
It's as if the lights were out everywhere
except in America.
1:54:34
Keep those lights burning.
1:54:36
Cover them with steel,
ring them with guns...
1:54:39
build a canopy of battleships
and bombing planes around them.
1:54:42
Hello, America, hang onto your lights.
1:54:44
They're the only lights left in the world.
