00:30The End
01:00The End
01:30Manacura?
01:31Oh no, that's out of the question.
01:34After the trouble that you and your pirates got into the last time you were there,
01:38dressing up in native costumes and dancing in their flower festivals.
01:43Why, you are a disgrace to the Navy.
01:45Oh no, I wouldn't say that, sir.
01:47After all, I won first prize.
01:48Remember, Skip, I was a tiger lily.
01:50I put a lot of time in my costume and...
01:52Cut it out and get your stems off of my desk.
01:56Now you've got your orders.
01:57You're going to Calakai.
01:59Now shove off!
02:00Oh, but Captain...
02:02Don't you, but Captain me.
02:03You heard me.
02:04Get out of here and take your tiger lily with you.
02:07Out!
02:08Come on, Tiger.
02:10Put him in some water.
02:12He looks like he's wielding.
02:13Nothing is going to stand in your way this time, Forty Knot Binghamton.
02:24You're going to be front.
02:27Hey!
02:27You're going to be front.
02:57Skip, all we've got to do is let Binghamton think we want the Calakai.
03:14Why, we put a dab of shaver lotion behind each ear and head for Shangri-La.
03:18Now look, you guys, we're not going to Manakura.
03:20That'll be a direct disobedience of orders.
03:22As much as Skip and I agree with you, we don't make the rules.
03:25We just break them.
03:26We just break them.
03:28Oh, now, wait a minute, Skip.
03:29Why, Binghamton be madder than a wet hen.
03:31Look, as far as I'm concerned, that man can lay himself a wet egg.
03:37He pulled a low-down trick, Chuck.
03:39Yes, sir, shipping us out while he hogs the limelight with that newspaper guy.
03:43Well, maybe you're right, Skip.
03:44Look, all I'm saying is this.
03:46If Binghamton wants to play as sneaky, brother, so can we.
03:50And don't forget, this crew deserves a vacation, too.
03:54You can say that again, Skip.
03:56We can certainly use it.
03:57Oh, I'm beat.
03:58Now look, Skip, if Binghamton finds out he's going to have our hides.
04:01Oh, stop worrying, will you, Tiger Lily?
04:03I won't say a word if you won't.
04:05We'll just keep it our own little secret, okay?
04:08Well, okay, Skip, but I, uh...
04:10Hey, what are you doing?
04:12Well, I'm packing and going to Manacura.
04:14How about you?
04:15You...
04:15Hey, you guys, we're going to Manacura!
04:20Manacura?
04:21I gotta get my stuff.
04:24Hey, you guys, mom's a word!
04:29Oh, it's Mr. Devery.
04:31How are you, Mr. Devery?
04:33Welcome aboard, sir, and welcome to South Pacific.
04:35Hi, Captain.
04:36Lieutenant.
04:36Sir.
04:36Won't you make yourself comfortable right there?
04:39I'm not looking for comfort, Binghamton.
04:40I'm a war correspondent.
04:42I'm just looking for a story.
04:43If you have one, I want it.
04:45Oh, yeah, if I have one.
04:46Well, actually, actually, Mr. Devery, I've been so busy fighting a war, you know,
04:52I haven't had time to take many notes, but if you want to start pitching the questions,
04:58I'll try and bat out the answers.
05:00Okay, when can I get to see this Commander McHale I've heard so much about?
05:05McHale?
05:06Well, I've heard of old Seadogs losing their legs, but you're the first one I ever saw
05:13lose his chair.
05:16Are you all right, too?
05:17Oh, I have heart through all right.
05:18Get your hands off me.
05:20Pick up the chairs.
05:21For for sake.
05:23Don't do something.
05:24Get out of here.
05:25Take it around here.
05:26Well, Binghamton, how's chances of getting this McHale in for a little talk?
05:31Oh, McHale, I don't think that'll be possible.
05:33He's away on a mission.
05:34He's over at Calakai.
05:36Calakai.
05:36Yeah.
05:37That's too bad.
05:37Sounded like you would have made a good story.
05:39Oh, Brad.
05:40Oh, Brad.
05:41There are other stories, you know.
05:42I've seen quite a bit of action myself.
05:45Yes, I know.
05:46I just saw one of your landings.
05:47You missed the beach by a mile.
05:50Funny.
05:51That's funny.
05:52Let me tell you about this time I was on patrol.
05:54Captain Binghamton, sir.
05:55Not now.
05:55I was on patrol.
05:58You see, there was this Japanese submarine.
05:59But, Captain, this is urgent, sir.
06:01What is so urgent?
06:02You have to interrupt me right in the middle of a patrol.
06:04Sir, we just got a signal from conflict, sir.
06:06It's Calakai.
06:07It's under heavy Japanese attack.
06:08Six destroyers and 12 enemy barges.
06:10All right, Carpenter.
06:11All right.
06:12Now, you see, there was this Japanese submarine.
06:14And we were...
06:17Calakai?
06:19Yes, sir.
06:23Isn't that where you said McHale is?
06:26Well, what kind of a nitwit would send out one boat against odds like that?
06:31Uh, a nitwit.
06:33That's what I'd like to know, Carpenter.
06:35But, sir, I thought that you was...
06:36Have a fine with your thoughts.
06:37Don't just stand there.
06:38There's a war on.
06:40Don't do something.
06:41Yes, sir.
06:44Poor McHale.
06:46He and his crew must really have their hands full.
06:49This is the life, mate.
06:52Remember, I'm married.
06:55This is your wolf fighting for.
06:58I raised you two pearls.
07:02Hey, Jack.
07:05Come on, boy.
07:06I want to get a little fishing before it gets too late.
07:07Where's that life raft?
07:08Yeah, okay.
07:09Skip, it's stuck in his cabinet.
07:12Well, hurry it up, will you?
07:14I got it.
07:17Whoa, boy.
07:20Skip, I...
07:20Come on, will you check the fish you're going to wait all day?
07:25Don't wait.
07:27All right.
07:28Eddie.
07:28Holy cow, where'd he come from?
07:37Hey, you guys.
07:38Bandit.
07:39Bandit at six o'clock.
07:40Hey, enemy, please.
07:42Take cover.
07:42Chuck, get up here.
07:43Chuck, get up here.
07:55One of these guns will be attacked up here.
07:57I'm here to attack down here.
07:59Oh, God.
08:01What's the matter, Dad?
08:03Well, of all that dad's blasted, where's that knife we keep?
08:06Oh, there.
08:07Come up out of there.
08:12Come up out of there.
08:13Well, you never...
08:14Get up there.
08:17Let's get over here.
08:19There he is, Chuck.
08:21Get him.
08:21Hey, I think he's had enough.
08:36All clear, you guys.
08:44From both sides.
08:46All right, Chip, I had a crab in the trailer.
08:48I think it looked like this.
08:49Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
08:50Okay, I'll take your word for it, all right?
08:56We're all all right.
08:57How about you, Skip?
08:58How's everything up here, Skip?
08:59Are you all right?
09:00Yeah, we're all right.
09:01Listen, we better get this boat out of here
09:02before our little friend decides to come back.
09:05Tinker, check your engines.
09:06Willie, check your radio.
09:07Right, Skip.
09:08The rest of you guys check the rest of the boat.
09:11Well, there's one thing for sure, Skip.
09:12The starboard running light's out.
09:14Yeah, look, the radio master's out too, Skip.
09:16The radio's out, Skip, and I mean far out, like busted.
09:19Oh, brother.
09:21Took a few hits in the engine, Skip.
09:23Well, we sure got off lucky.
09:26Tink, how long do you think it'll be
09:28before you get us running again?
09:29Oh, about 24 hours.
09:33Maybe about 48?
09:35You wouldn't like a try for 72, would you?
09:44Yeah, well, that's about the kind of figure I had in mind.
09:46Captain.
09:49What did you say about it?
09:51We just got word from the fleet, sir.
09:52Yeah?
09:52They counter-attacked and blasted the nips right off Calakai.
09:55Oh.
09:56But no sign of Commander McHale, sir.
09:57Oh.
10:01Oh, this is terrible.
10:02It's terrible.
10:02It's all my fault, too.
10:04Those poor men are out there somewhere in the dark right now.
10:07They're probably hungry or hurt or even prisoner or even...
10:10Well, I just don't know how I'm going to sleep through the night,
10:15wondering, waiting.
10:16Don't stop, Binghamton.
10:17This is a great war story.
10:19A captain's lonely vigil, waiting for news from his men.
10:22Yes, yes.
10:24Waiting and wandering through the night alone, sleepless nights.
10:27Well, it's like a father.
10:28Like a father waiting for the return of his child.
10:31And that's what they were like.
10:32I was down in 73.
10:34They were...
10:35Well, they were like my children.
10:38You know, my burden would be a lot easier to bear
10:40if I were just out there with them,
10:42sharing their hardships and their...
10:45their suffering.
10:52What are you doing, Chuck?
11:00Well, I just count and scale.
11:0093, 94, 95, 96.
11:03I'm a lot.
11:03I'm just curious to see how many revolutions in a minute she's doing.
11:09Well, one, two, three...
11:11Seven, eight...
11:14Come on, T. Get up in there, too.
11:17Come on, T.
11:18Come on, T.
11:18Come on, T.
11:19Come on, T.
11:20Come on.
11:22Hey, hey, keep that engine going, T.
11:26Captain Binghamton,
11:27one of our search planes just reported in with this, sir.
11:30The 73's life raft.
11:32Oh, no.
11:33The roads look like knife holes.
11:35Oh, what a struggle those men must have put up.
11:38They also found a part of the radio master.
11:41Well, it's no wonder we didn't hear from them then.
11:42The poor devils didn't even have a chance to call for help.
11:45Oh, I tell you, gentlemen,
11:50a part of me has died out there in the Pacific.
11:53Tough break, Binghamton.
11:55You know, I don't believe I've ever seen a commanding officer so attached to his men before.
11:59Attached is not quite the word for it, Mr. Devery.
12:03It was, uh, it was love.
12:06Yes, it was love for him.
12:10Especially McHale.
12:11He was, he was quite a guy.
12:15Quite a guy.
12:17And that's the way this story must be told.
12:19Through the eyes of the man who loved the most, Captain Wallace B. Binghamton.
12:23I think, uh, Mr. Devery, that a man like McHale requires a little more than just a story.
12:30Uh, Carpenter?
12:31Sir.
12:32Prepare a memorial service for tomorrow morning at 0900 on McHale's Island.
12:36We're going to pay our respects to the memory of the gallant men of PT-73.
12:45We're back from paradise.
12:46We feel no pain at all.
12:48We're back from paradise.
12:50We had a ball.
12:52We're back from paradise.
12:53Hold it, hold it, hold it, your song burns you.
12:58Hey, we're getting close to home.
13:00You don't want old party pooper Binghamton to hear us, do you?
13:02Yeah, boy, if Binghamton finds out where we've been for the last three days, we're dead.
13:10You're a seventh son of a seventh son.
13:12What's the matter, what do you see?
13:13What's the matter, Skip? The Japanese invaded our island?
13:15What's the matter? Binghamton's invaded.
13:17Hey, Chuck, bring around 45 degrees, quick.
13:20We're going to go in the back way and find out what's going on there.
13:31And that is why I say that the memory of the now departed will linger long after the sound of shells and battle drums.
13:38Yes, gentlemen, we are gathered here today on this hallowed piece of land.
13:44Hey, what's going on?
13:45Shh.
13:45To a heroic crew.
13:48They were good men.
13:50They were good sailors.
13:52And they were good friends.
13:54The men of PT-73.
13:56Did you guys hear what I heard?
14:02He's talking about us.
14:03He says we're his friends.
14:04He must have been drinking.
14:06It was a privilege to have known this man who was a legend before his time.
14:10My comrade-in-arms, my closest buddy.
14:14Quentin McHale.
14:18His closest buddy?
14:19He must be stoned.
14:21What of Ensign Charles Parker?
14:27Yes.
14:28What of him?
14:30He was a bright, a hard-working lad.
14:33He was a credit to the Navy.
14:35He was a true product of the sea, to which he is now gone.
14:40Gee, I didn't know he felt that way about me.
14:42Quiet, Chuck.
14:43Have a little respect for you.
14:44This is a funeral service.
14:46No kidding.
14:46Whose?
14:48Ours.
14:49And yours.
14:50You know, for a minute, I thought you said, mine.
14:57Hey, look.
14:59You guys take care of Chuck.
15:00Fuji, get lost.
15:01I gotta go find out where we died from.
15:06Rupert.
15:07Belle.
15:08Come on, sleep, beauty.
15:09Come on.
15:09Come on.
15:10Wake up.
15:11Wake up.
15:12Wake up.
15:12Come on.
15:13Come on.
15:14Come on.
15:14It is indeed a roll call of heroes.
15:20Ready?
15:22Aim.
15:24Fire.
15:27All right.
15:27I'll get the race.
15:28It's in the hot tub.
15:29I was saying, my fellow mourners, this is not just a time of sadness.
15:37Hiya, copy.
15:38Hey, what's going on here?
15:39We're holding services for command.
15:41Miguel!
15:43Oh, it is with a sense of profound emotion.
15:46And a feeling of everlasting gratitude.
15:50Where is the race?
15:50The race?
15:51The race?
15:51The race?
15:51Stop tapping me.
15:52Give me the...
15:53Hey, now.
15:57And that concludes their services.
15:59A cease firing.
16:00An emergency.
16:01Just come up.
16:01Everybody back to the base.
16:02Condition wreck.
16:03Condition wreck.
16:04Dispatch.
16:04Dispatch.
16:05Everybody.
16:06What is it, Binghamton?
16:07What's happened?
16:08Oh, well, I can't tell you right now, Mr. Devery.
16:11See, it is top secret.
16:12Now you get back to the base.
16:13And you take cover.
16:14You take cover.
16:14Get back from the grave.
16:16Where is he?
16:17Where?
16:17Where?
16:17Where?
16:22Miguel?
16:23Miguel?
16:23Where is he?
16:24He's not in here.
16:25Carpenter, you've done it again.
16:26He's not here.
16:26Oh, no, sir.
16:26He was right over there.
16:27I saw him.
16:27Right over where?
16:28Here I see him.
16:29And I said...
16:30Ah!
16:31Miguel.
16:32Hey, Miguel, what are you doing here?
16:33He's supposed to be dead.
16:34Oh.
16:35Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
16:37I'm not disappointed.
16:38Naturally, I'm not disappointed.
16:39I'm thrilled.
16:40I'm very happy about that.
16:41It's just...
16:42How did you escape from the Japanese Akalakai?
16:44The Japanese?
16:46Mr. Japanese, you know the Japanese, don't you?
16:48Those are the little fellas with the almond-shaped eyes that we've been fighting.
16:52Those Japanese?
16:53Yeah.
16:53Yeah.
16:54He's talking about the enemy, sir.
16:56Tom Fleet reported to us that there were six Nip destroyers there.
16:59There were 12 Nip landing barges there.
17:01Now, how did you escape from the Japanese Akalakai?
17:03Uh, how did we escape from that?
17:06Uh, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, you see, sir, when we were first attacked...
17:09Attacked?
17:10Yes, sir.
17:11They must have attacked right in the middle of a luau.
17:14Ah, I'll let your cutthroats whenever Akalakai at all.
17:16You were at Monokura.
17:17Captain, how can you infer such a thing, sir?
17:23You're right, gentlemen.
17:25I'm terribly sorry, and I apologize.
17:28It's just that I've been under such a strain lately.
17:31Haven't I been under a strain, Elroy?
17:32Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir.
17:33You see there, Elroy says I've been under a strain.
17:35I wouldn't say anything like that.
17:36Would I say anything like that?
17:38Never, sir.
17:38Certainly not.
17:39How about it, Ensign?
17:40How are things at Monokura, huh?
17:41Oh, it was a real blast, sir.
17:42Why, some of the guys even started doing this.
17:44Ah!
17:45Yeah!
17:45Come on!
17:46Ah!
17:47Hey, there.
17:48You were never at Kalakai.
17:49You saw that.
17:50How about we not?
17:50You were at Monokura.
17:51Yeah, Captain, I can explain, sir.
17:53Explain.
17:54You're going to have plenty of time to explain, McHale.
17:57First of all, you're going to explain it to the court-martial board, huh?
18:01Then you're going to explain it to the warden at Portsmouth Prison.
18:04Then, McHale, you're going to have about 20 years to write a book about it.
18:09Oh, write a book, write a book, huh?
18:11What, Skip?
18:11I'm sorry.
18:12I wish I were really dead now.
18:13When I get through with you, McHale, you're going to wish you were, too.
18:16All right, Carpenter, draw up the court-martial charges.
18:18Make it direct disobedience of orders.
18:20Make it insubordination.
18:22Make it dereliction of duty.
18:23Huh?
18:24What do you got to say about that?
18:28Well, sir, with my best friend defending me, sir, I think I stand a pretty good chance of acquittal.
18:36What best friend are you talking about?
18:38What, what, what?
18:39Well, um, have you forgotten, Wally?
18:43You said, uh, comrade in arms, my closest buddy.
18:48I can't talk to me.
18:50I only said those things when I thought you were deceased.
18:52Okay, Captain, okay.
18:54If you want to show Brad Devery and the press of the world how little our friendship really means,
19:00McHale, one of these days.
19:03Uh, Captain, then, uh, we can consider these charges dropped, sir?
19:10On one condition, McHale.
19:13You don't want to get off of your spot.
19:15You're going to have to help me get off of mine.
19:17I don't care what you say, Skip.
19:28It just don't seem right being on the same side as Binghamton.
19:31Yeah, what a crummy deal.
19:33Letting him rescue us just so we can look like a hero with this newspaper guy.
19:36Ah, look, you guys.
19:38I don't exactly relish playing footsie with Binghamton either.
19:41But it was a stalemate.
19:42He had us over a barrel and we had him over one.
19:45So let's just make the best of it, shall we?
19:47What now?
19:51What's with the engines?
19:52I don't know, Skip.
19:54Well, get back there and take a look, and fast.
19:56Oh, boy, if Binghamton doesn't find us on Pannoy Island when he gets there to rescue us from the grave,
20:01he'll have a shot.
20:02Well, this guy won't be lucky enough to watch our own funeral.
20:09I still don't understand, Binghamton.
20:11What makes you think McHale and his men are still alive?
20:14And here on Pannoy, of all places.
20:15Oh, well, that's intelligence.
20:18Intelligence.
20:18We got a report that some natives have seen some American sailors on this island.
20:22All right, you men, keep your eyes open now.
20:24Keep one open for McHale.
20:26Keep one open for Japanese.
20:27You think there may be nips on this island?
20:30Oh, you never can tell about those little devils.
20:32They're sneaky, you know.
20:33They're everywhere.
20:33Everywhere.
20:45Nice work, Binghamton.
20:54You walked us right into a trap.
20:56Whose intelligence gave you your information?
20:58Ours or the Japanese?
21:00I don't understand this.
21:01McHale didn't say anything about it.
21:04The natives didn't say anything about the Japanese being here.
21:08Prisoners!
21:09No talk!
21:09Now, you look here.
21:10I'm a captain of the United States Navy, and I've got nothing to say.
21:13I'll just...
21:14Hey, Skip.
21:23Huh?
21:23How long have we got a wolf to be rescued?
21:26Well, I don't know.
21:27Tinker's out looking for those guys.
21:30Hey, speaking of the devil.
21:31What's up, Pink?
21:32Skip, Japanese are on the other side of the island.
21:34They've got Binghamton, Cotner, and the war correspondent.
21:37Oh, no!
21:38Oh, boy.
21:39A chance that this comes worse in a lifetime.
21:41What do you say, Skipper?
21:42We get back in the boat and head for home.
21:43What?
21:43Are we committed to the Japanese?
21:45What else?
21:46It'll help end the war a lot faster.
21:47And besides, how much punishment can those poor Japanese take?
21:51I must say it's a very tempting idea, Gruber.
21:54But, uh...
21:56Nah, nah, it wouldn't be fair.
21:57Yeah.
21:57Skipper's right.
21:58It wouldn't be fair.
21:59To the Japanese, I mean.
22:00You know what the Geneva Convention says about extreme cruelty to the enemy?
22:05We gotta rescue him.
22:07Yeah, I'm afraid so.
22:09Tink, how many Japanese were there?
22:12Oh.
22:13Five and an officer.
22:14We gonna rush him?
22:15Nah, nah, we rush him, they start shooting, somebody's liable to get hurt.
22:19No, what we gotta do is to distract the Japanese away from Binghamton's crowd.
22:25Doggone it, how we gonna do it?
22:29I got it.
22:30I got it, boys.
22:31Hey, Hap.
22:31Yeah?
22:32We got much of that stuff left aboard from Manakura?
22:34Yeah, most of it.
22:35All right.
22:36Tinker, come here, boy.
22:40I know.
22:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:42Hey, not the time.
22:43No.
22:44Hello, soldier.
22:46Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
22:48Who are you, handsome soldier?
22:50Come with me.
22:51Come with me.
22:52Let's go, let's go!
23:22Oh, McHale, back from the dead. I'm Devery, United Press.
23:25Oh, hi!
23:26I got a hunch that was a good story, and you knew what I was right.
23:29Oh, wait, you're forgetting whose idea this was.
23:31I organized this whole rescue for anyone who's supposed to be any Japanese here.
23:35Look out, will you, Binghamton? You're blocking my shot.
23:37Now, McHale, let's have a nice big smile, huh?
23:40I insisted I be in this picture.
23:42Will you please, Binghamton? Hey, let's have one of you accepting his sword.
23:46Here, take care.
23:48Huh?
23:51Fine.
23:54Somebody up there hates me.
24:02Oh, but, Captain, not balaclava. That's just a hunk of coral.
24:06Yes, balaclava.
24:08And this time I'm dispatching a patrol plane to make sure that you're there.
24:11Now, shove off. I don't want to see you for the next 48 hours.
24:18Well, now then, shall we get on with the interview?
24:24Well, Captain, our newspaper down at the Mission School would like to know.
24:29Bye-bye, Captain.
24:30Oh, and Georgie, don't forget, the name is McHale.
24:34McHale!
24:36Get out of it, McHale. Out, out, out, out.
24:38Bye-bye, Captain.
24:40I won first prize at Tiger Lily.
24:42I won first prize at Tiger Lily.
24:44Here, have a choice
24:47I don't know information.
24:48Go away!
24:50Go away!
24:52Hey, gdy get out of it, we pick oneária...
