:06:00
'Cause let me tell ya,
those farm boys are grounded!
:06:02
Yes, sir, an entirely unacceptable use
of m-m-military aircraft, sir.
:06:09
- Get my hat.
- Yes, sir.
:06:10
Get those hedge-hoppers
in Doolittle's offiice.
:06:13
After two years oftraining...
:06:15
you believe that a $45,000 aeroplane
is there foryour amusement?
:06:19
No, sir. I wasjust trying
to keep my edge, Major.
:06:22
And when you did the outside loop
last week, what did you think that was?
:06:24
Honing your skills?
:06:26
That's not training, McCawley.
That's a stunt.
:06:28
And I personally consider it
to be reckless and irresponsible.
:06:34
Major.
:06:38
How could that be when you're famous
for being the fiirst man in the world
ever to do it?
:06:41
- Don't get cute with me, son.
- No, sir. I--
:06:43
I don't mean to be disrespectful.
I just think that-- Well, I--
:06:47
It is reckless and irresponsible if
you'rejust doing it to be a show-off.
:06:49
But I was doing it
to try to inspire the men, sir...
:06:53
in the way that
you've inspired me.
:06:54
I believe the French
even have a word for that...
:06:56
when the men get together
to honour their leaders.
:06:58
They call it an homage, sir.
:06:59
- A what?
- An homage, sir.
:07:01
That's bullshit, McCawley!
:07:06
But it's very, very good bullshit.
:07:09
Thankyou, sir.
:07:13
McCawley, you remind me
of myself 1 5 years ago.
:07:16
Which is why we need
to discuss this.
:07:19
Have a seat, son.
:07:28
The British have accepted you
into the Eagle Squadron.
:07:30
You're on your way to England
tomorrow, ifyou still want to go.
:07:36
Wow.
:07:37
Just a few British pilots
are all that stand...
:07:39
between Hitler
and total victory in Europe.
:07:42
They're gonna need all the help
they can get.
:07:43
Yes, sir.
Well, I'm on my way.
:07:46
Just for the record, I'm supposed
to askyou to reconsider.
:07:49
- Sir?
- Sooner or later...
:07:52
we're gonna be in this war
whether we like it or not.
:07:54
And I'm gonna need
all of my best pilots.
:07:57
So it's my duty
to askyou to stay.
