00:00I'm awfully sorry we cracked up another ship, Mr. Fleming, but you see, that strut seemed to...
00:04Just a moment, Bob.
00:07I'm sorry, Fred, but I must ask for your resignation.
00:10But why? It wasn't his fault the plane cracked up. I'm the one that tears them apart.
00:15That has nothing to do with it. It's a new rule. Mr. Pierce's idea.
00:20He thinks that Fred, coming from Germany...
00:22Why, he's more American than I am.
00:24Well, there's nothing personal, boys. It's just that we're making planes for the Allies.
00:28Yeah, and he thinks that Fred might be yellow enough to crack them up.
00:31Please, Bob. I understand, Mr. Fleming.
00:37I'm sorry.
00:38Yeah, well, so am I. Because you're going to have to find yourself a new test pilot.
00:42Now, don't be a sap, Bob. There's no reason for you to quit.
00:44Yeah, and there's no reason for them to ask you to quit.
00:46I won't work for a firm that fires a man just because he happens to have a German name.
00:51Wilson and von Bergen, huh?
00:53Von Bergen?
00:55We don't employ Germans here.
01:09Mr. Burton will see you now, Mr. Wilson.
01:11Oh, thanks. Come on, Fred.
01:12Oh, excuse me. Not Mr. von Bergen. Just you, Mr. Wilson.
01:16Oh, excuse me. Not Mr. von Bergen. Just you, Mr. Wilson.
01:20What?
01:21I don't know anything about it, only he was talking to your old boss on the phone this morning.
01:25Yeah? Well, tell him to go jump in the lake.
01:28Come on, Fred. We'll fly for American aircraft.
01:31Their gain, Burton's loss. Make a note of that.
01:42Sorry, no one will pass you in.
01:44Now, listen. Mr. Hayward's been after me for the past six months to go to work for him.
01:48Send our names in. He'll see us.
01:50Save your breath. No jobs, no admittance.
01:52No brains.
01:54All right. Well, we gave him their chance.
