Destination Tokyo Page #3

---

All submarines look alike.

We're nobody's friend.

Even our ships will shoot first

and ask questions afterward.

He listens to you like you were

a tin god.

- Look pretty snappy today, captain.

- You know, Christmas.

- Coffee, sir.

- Thank you.

- All clear starboard.

- All clear port.

You fellas know me.

I'm no highbrow.

When I come home, if there's

any grand opera playing...

...the whole Connors family goes

down there twice a week.

Don't ask me why, but to me, it's like

going down in a sub.

You shove off,

go deep under the sea.

When you come back up, you got something

inside that's never been there before.

Irish and Greeks, born philosophers.

I got a philosophy too.

Every day a box of Cracker Jacks

with a prize in every package.

I feel sorry for you.

You don't know what family means.

Family means a house has a mortgage,

the kids have measles...

...and the old man pays for the insurance

when he's dead. No, not for Wolfie.

The only babies I want

are those born 21 years ago.

Captain has given permission to pick up

the San Francisco newscast.

This broadcast comes to you

from the Friendly Credit Company.

The Friendly Credit Company trusts you.

Any amount from $ 25 to $ 1000.

And so Christmas Day

is bright on all fronts.

San Francisco police are continuing

the manhunt for a sailor...

... wanted on several counts.

The woman making the complaints

insists on prosecution.

The sailor was last seen boarding

a United States submarine at Mare Island.

The sailor is known to the girls

only as "Wolf."

- Well, Wolfie!

- Shut up.

However, his shipmates volunteered

information to the police.

Enough to send him up for 1042 years.

The Wolf has been described as a body

of man entirely surrounded by women.

- He's...

- Terrific!

Terrific.

It's just a gag, Wolfie. Just a gag.

Captain give you permission

to pull that stunt?

- Yes, sir.

- I was in on the gag too.

- Were you?

- Well, just around the edges.

- Plane coming in at the sun!

- Clear the bridge! Take her down!

- Hatch secured!

- Battle stations manned.

Main induction closed.

What was it?

Looked like a four-motor

bomber to me.

Pressure in the boat, sir.

Level off at 150 feet.

- Rig for depth charge.

- Rig for depth charge.

Close main vents.

Main vents closed, sir.

- Blow negative.

- Blow negative.

- Close negative flood.

- Close negative flood.

Negative flood closed, sir.

- Level off at 150.

- Level off at 150.

- Zero bubble.

- Zero bubble.

Open all vents.

- All ahead one-third.

- All ahead one-third.

All answering ahead one-third, sir.

- Pump from auxiliary to sea.

- Auxiliary to sea!

- Can we hear it when it comes?
