MacArthur Page #2

drums all over the deck.

They're like floating coffins.

They'll go up like a bomb.

At least put your family on a submarine.

They'd be safer there.

No, Sid, no.

I will stay with the general.

Jean, you don't understand.

Come here.

We don't even know how many

Japanese are out there.

A submarine might be the only

safe place for you and Arthur.

We are staying with you.

Don't forget those

other soiled clothes.

Yes.

Jeannie, Sid is right. It's gonna

be a very dangerous journey.

I'd rather have you and Arthur...

Now, suppose,

as you are so fond of saying,

"We three are one.

We drink of the same cup."

Jeannie...

You're my finest soldier.

How did Shakespeare put it?

"The general's wife is

the general's general."

Colonel Wainwright, sir,

General MacArthur's arriving.

Thank you, son.

There goes Dugout Doug and his

whole goddamn gypsy caravan.

Goodbye, General, sir.

Castro, keep up the good fight.

A guerrilla force is forming.

I'm joining them.

Very good.

I've got my rifle.

Ammunition?

Enough.

All right, then.

Cross over to Bataan.

There are good men in the hills there.

Join them.

Fight with them.

Yes, sir.

Good luck, Castro.

We'll meet again.

Well, Jim, I have no choice.

I know.

If we get through to Australia,

I'll be back as soon as I

can with as much as I can.

I suppose I can't convince

you to go by submarine.

No, no.

If we can break through, it

will demonstrate to Washington

that this blockade can be pierced

if you have the daring for it.

In the meantime,

you've got to hold on here.

Yes, sir.

Cigars, shaving cream.

Thank you.

Jim, let the men know

that I'm obeying a direct

order from the president.

I will. I will.

When I return, I'll make

you a lieutenant general.

I'll be here, or I'll be dead.

Goodbye, Jim.

Goodbye.

Welcome aboard, sir.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

I'm saying hello

again to you boys on Corregidor.

Especially you,

General MacArthur.

On behalf of

the Japanese nation,

allow me to

invite you to a party

to celebrate our forthcoming victory.

A surprise party.

In fact, a necktie party,

here in Tokyo.

Sorry, General.

Let's skip that

little party, shall we?

Aye, aye, sir.

What is it?

Mines.

I think that's

the last of them, sir.

There's a pot of hot coffee up

forward, sir. Would you like some?

No coffee.

How do you feel, sir?

I'm not exactly

a navy man, Phil.

Well, when we get to Australia,

the commissioner of railways has

ordered his own personal car

for your trip to Melbourne.

Anything I can do, sir?

Can't sleep.

We're safe.

They're doomed.

I know what they're saying.

"Dugout Doug MacArthur

lies a-shaking on the rock.

"Safe from any danger
