02:17city had been turned out yes I know a last-minute siren that was too late to do any good and which

02:21everybody thought was only a practice anyway the Japanese hit Hong Kong and Pearl Harbor simultaneously

02:25apparently they want no one to miss the fact that they've decided to start a war why didn't they go for

02:30military targets what on earth can they hope to gain by bombing civilians panic they create panic and then take

09:20is the place to discuss them nor do i think that you're in any condition to be very constructive

09:25you're wrong bernard's a down sight more constructive after a few drinks than he is sober

09:29you give me this bleeding heart about agreeing with what i did yet you and your general strangle

09:35the press you have them print only what you want them to and what you want is to take the public's

09:40mind not the fact the enemy that you can't turn back is banging on the bloody gates typical press

09:45hysteria oh yeah listen how many times have i tried to go up the peninsula just to see what's going on

09:51only to have some jumped up idiot in uniform stop me getting within five miles of the front

09:57you don't even admit there is a front it sounds too much like war so you call it a forward position

17:39the governor will surrender the crown colony unconditionally this evening

17:43In the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon, Governor Sir Mark Young will meet General Sakai when he will formally surrender Hong Kong to the Japanese.

17:53Mr. Webster, Mr. Webster, a telephone call for you.

18:12Good job.

18:13Yes, just follow me, please.

18:15Everyone seems to be having a whale of a time despite everything.

18:18Everyone was having a whale of a time on the Titanic.

18:21Oh, Cliff, do shut up just for tonight.

18:23Yes, darling, it's a party.

18:25Everyone would like to have an hour off.

18:27You're quite right.

18:29Oh, excuse me, am I interrupting anything?

18:31No.

18:32Do you know, darling, in all the years that I have known Clifford, he has never asked me to dance.

18:37Marion complains of the same thing.

18:38Now, Clifford has many wonderful qualities, but no one will ever mistake him for Fred Astaire.

18:43You've never said to me, come on, Vicky, old girl, let's shake a leg.

18:48Come on, old Vicky, let's shake a leg.

18:50Hey, I didn't say, old Vicky.

18:53You know, we'll have to think about leaving here soon.

19:13Oh, not before midnight, surely.

19:15Oh, you know what I mean.

19:17Leave Singapore.

19:18I know.

19:19You may have to go before we do.

19:21I shall go when there is no alternative.

19:24That day may be sooner than you think of it.

19:27Jack, as Vicky said, just what it means.

19:30Your leg's still cheekable.

19:33Oh, very.

19:39There, you disbelievers.

19:41It's gorgeous.

19:42And it costs a packet, so I want to hear no more jokes about my fiancée's incredible meanness.

19:48He isn't as miserly as everyone thinks he is.

19:49That's absolutely true.

19:50He's English, that's all.

19:52They do this differently over there.

19:53I have never heard anyone ever refer to you as mean.

19:57And I always thought you were the generous type.

20:00Anzacs have a different scale of values, Nellie.

20:02They judge a man by the number of drinks he buys.

20:04And talking of which, I say later, a special round again, please.

20:08Yes, I wish you would.

20:11I think I'm really a tight suit.

20:19Only a barber.

20:20I'm sure you fix that.

20:21Will we?

20:22Yes, anyone who isn't very, very tight on New Year's Eve has thought of something very seriously wrong with you.

20:31You're with me.

20:32Remember?

20:33You?

20:35Barry?

20:36Right.

20:37You're...

20:37May I remind you that drunken nurses are very popular.

20:41And you're on duty in precisely three hours' time.

20:46You may summon my pumpkin at midnight.

20:48You're leaving early.

20:50I'll stay to see the New Year end.

20:52You didn't tell me you had to go early.

20:54Well now, Barry.

20:55My name is Brian.

20:56You never ask.

20:58Not that you seem to care, particularly whether I stay or not.

21:02Oh, but of course I care.

21:04Do you really have to go?

21:05I really do.

21:07Of course it's Cinderella, isn't it?

21:10Now don't tell me they're sending a golden coach to take you to hospital.

21:13It's in the disguise as a tingly short.

21:17I shall regard it as an honour and a privilege if I can drive you there myself.

21:22Then you can come back here and play the theme.

21:26But you don't have a very high opinion of me, do you?

21:28That's not true.

21:30I don't have any opinion of you, Brian.

21:33After all, you don't have me, Jasmine.

21:36Shall we have the next dance?

21:37Oh, then, can you go down the road?

21:39Come on, Kate.

21:42Let's do it.

21:46Here you go.

21:47Take that away and bring the oldest, largest bottle of champagne you've got.

21:56Really?

21:57There's no point of waste here, sir.

22:01Now you can tell me the good news.

22:02That was a call from Melbourne.

22:05It appears reports of my infamous broadcast were done rather well over there.

22:09They've offered me a plum job.

22:11When do we leave?

22:13We don't, not yet.

22:14What?

22:14Well, they want someone to come to the story here.

22:16Since I am here, who better?

22:18You mean, as I sit in my dugout, I can see the Japs all around me?

22:22No, thank you, Bert.

22:22Not as far as that, but we're staying on for a while.

22:25Well, I don't know if I shall.

22:26Yes, you will.

22:26What makes you so sure?

22:27You know, when you're on to good things.

22:29What good things?

22:29Me.

22:30Oh!

22:31Too modest.

22:32You know, I'm right.

22:33After all, who else would put up with you like I do?

22:44For all, Lang Syne, my dear.

22:48For all, Lang Syne.

22:53We'll take the gump on, ride the ship for the St. Old Lang Syne.

23:01For all, Lang Syne, my dear.

23:06For all, Lang Syne.

23:09We'll take the gump on, ride the ship for the St. Old Lang Syne.

23:17Yay!

23:18We'll take the gump.

23:48Why are you looking at me like that?

23:54Because I love you.

23:59Darling.

24:04Darling, wake up.

24:09You've got to leave.

24:12In a matter of days, the Japs will be here.

24:14There's no chance of holding them off.

24:17What about you?

24:18I thought it was the duty of every soldier to try and escape.

24:28I have to stay.

24:29Where are the ships headed, Paul?

24:38Australia.

24:39Oh.

24:41Ben in England.

24:43You here, me in Australia.

24:47It won't be for long.

24:50We'll all go home together.

24:52You'll see.

24:52Not before time, either.

24:58I haven't found anything of yours yet worth packing.

25:02But no need.

25:03I'll be staying up with a bit of rain.

25:04Of course, to get the interview with the Japanese on the lawns of Government House.

25:09Look, for years I've had to write pieces on watching the grass grow there.

25:12At last I've got some action.

25:13Gosh, my God, you are enjoying this.

25:16Yeah, it's rather like rain.

25:17I am certainly not going anywhere without you.

25:23I love you.

25:24Don't change the subject.

25:25Don't change the subject.

26:25Thank you, Christina.

26:35Almost there.

26:37Oh, yes.

26:39There's so many people.

26:43Australia.

26:45Yes.

26:51Nationality.

26:53I'm British.

26:55How did you manage that?

26:57Yes.

26:59Well, I need to see your father's birth certificate.

27:03But my father is dead.

27:05Stand aside.

27:07Next.

27:09Anyone else with their parents birth certificate?

27:11It isn't required of your opinions.

27:12Now stand aside.

27:13Next person, please.

27:16Australia.

27:19Would you put the cases in the car, please, Dola?

27:22Yes, ma'am.

27:26I've left the photograph albums.

27:27Oh, good.

27:28Yes, thank you.

27:29And Ben's letters?

27:31Yes, it'll be nice to have them to read over.

27:34Yes.

27:35Have you got his presents?

27:37Yes.

27:38In here.

27:39All packed.

27:41Right.

27:42We'd better make tracks.

27:43Yes.

27:44They won't make you stay right to the end, will they?

27:50I shouldn't think so.

27:55Goodbye, Dola.

27:58Nurse's kids.

27:59Oh, I'll be back.

28:14All set.

28:15Oh, Simon.

28:16What's the matter?

28:17He said I'm not entitled to a ticket.

28:18What?

28:19I have to show my father's birth certificate to prove that he was British.

28:21That's absolute nonsense.

28:22Well, that's what he said.

28:23What who said?

28:24The little one over there.

28:25Excuse me.

28:26May I have a word with you, please?

28:27Official business, confidential.

28:28Ali.

29:18Next please.

29:22Thanks old man. Please carry on.

29:27Oh Simon.

29:33Oh Simon, thank you.

29:36I'll be down to see you all.

29:38Oh that would be lovely.

29:40Come in.

29:43Right. Now you're all here.

29:46I want you to go to your quarters, pack your things and go to the ticket office

29:50where you will be given tickets for the next ship to leave Singapore.

29:53You mean we're being evacuated?

29:56There's been no official order no but if you'll take my advice you'll go now.

29:59Do we have to?

30:00Nurses will be needed on the boats.

30:02What about our patients here doctor?

30:04The local staff will take over.

30:05You've said yourself there aren't half enough of them.

30:07I don't intend to argue Keane.

30:09Are you coming with us doctor?

30:11That's no concern of yours.

30:13She's going to stay behind and play the hero.

30:15I shall leave when I think fit.

30:16I don't intend to be caught by the Japanese.

30:18I merely have to see that the hospital is handed over in a proper state.

30:21But doctor Mason you don't seem to understand.

30:23Once in your life can't you do something without arguing about it?

30:25Yes you can.

30:26But doctor I don't want to hear another word from any of you.

30:28Please.

30:29You can go now.

30:30May I just say good luck doctor.

30:49Take care of yourself.

30:50I'll be alright.

30:51It's you I'll be worrying about.

30:53Oh.

31:26I promise.

31:27Just keep your head down.

31:30Oh don't volunteer.

31:35Well it looks like a chocker.

31:36I never thought I'd be the one to say this but I'm worried about Mason.

31:39Well when's the next sailing?

31:40Tomorrow morning they say.

31:42Oh she better not leave it too late.

31:43Yeah well let's just keep moving eh.

31:51You know that wouldn't worry you much.

31:52Well it would worry me.

32:45Two cases per person, and that's your luck.

32:47And what are all these bloody rickshaws doing here? Get them out of the way.

32:50What do you think we're on here, a bleeding pleasure cruise?

32:54Um, that one.

33:03No, that's your fare. Take them.

33:07Rise.

33:12Bernard, you nearly missed it.

33:14Oh, I didn't.

33:15What would I have done all on my own in a place like Australia?

33:18You know, for once, silly illogical, Roman.

33:20I thought you'd be concerned about someone other than yourself.

33:23Something that better.

33:24You don't feel very concerned about...

33:25Oh, it's not our lucky day.

33:27Remember those two lovebirds?

45:26Absolutely fearful.

45:42Do you know where the hell we are?

46:09Not really.

46:10We could be on one of the Dutch islands.

46:15Yeah, but which one?

46:36Did you lose someone?

46:37I saw her go overboard, but after that...

46:45Well, this place is lousy for us.

46:47They're all over.

46:48It could be on any one of them.

46:49Is there any water anywhere?

47:01Is there any water anywhere?

47:11What's the matter?

47:21Quiet.

47:23Quiet, everybody.
