Rendezvous

FEUER... EINS!

HERE, GENTLEMEN,

IS WHERE THE ADELIA

WAS ATTACKED AND SUNK.

YOU SEE, SHE WAS WELL INTO

THE DANGER ZONE.

OUR PROPOSED CONVOY SYSTEM

IS SIMPLY THIS:

BRITISH DESTROYERS WILL MEET YOUR

TROOPSHIPS AT THIS DANGER ZONE

AND CONVOY THEM:

TO THE FRENCH COAST.

NEITHER THE SHIP AT SEA NOR THE BRITISH

DESTROYERS WILL KNOW UNTIL THE LAST DAY

WHEN AND WHERE TO MEET.

EVERYTHING DEPENDS UPON THE

SECRECY OF THIS RENDEZVOUS POSITION.

IT WILL BE SEN BY WIRELESS IN CODE.

BUT OUR CODES:

HAVE BEEN READ BEFORE.

WELL, IT'S THE HOPE OF EVERY MILITARY

CRYPTOGRAPHER TO INVENT AN UNBREAKABLE CODE.

I'VE HAD 3 YEARS' EXPERIENCE ON

THE EUROPEAN FRONT.

ALL THAT EXPERIENCE HAS GONE INTO THE

MAKING OF THE NEW CODE THAT I NOW OFFER YOU.

WHAT IF WE SEND A MUNITIONS

SHIP UNDER THIS NEW SYSTEM

BEFORE WE SEND:

ANY TROOPS?

WHAT DO YOU HOPE

TO GAIN BY THAT?

A TEST OF:

MAJOR BRENNAN'S CODE.

IF THE MUNITIONS SHIP GETS

THROUGH WITHOUT ATTACK,

OUR TROOPSHIPS:

WILL FOLLOW.

IT'S GREEK TO ME.

LET'S HOPE IT'LL BE GREEK TO THE ENEMY.

WAS IST DAS?

THE NEW CODE.

HMM.

HELLO,

YOUR EXCELLENCY.

MR. GORDON! I HAD

NO IDEA YOU WERE...

ANYWHERE BUT 6,000 MILES

FROM HERE, HUH?

MAKING TROUBLE FOR DIPLOMATS

WHO WANT TO KEEP SECRETS.

EXACTLY.

WHEN I WAS IN TOKYO,

YOU GAVE ME MANY

A SLEEPLESS NIGHT.

WHAT NOW? HAS YOUR PAPER

TRANSFERRED YOU TO WASHINGTON?

OH, I'M NO LONGER A

NEWSPAPERMAN, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

WELL! THAT'LL BE GOOD

NEWS IN MANY A CAPITAL.

ESPECIALLY:

BERLIN, SIR,

SINCE BY WAY OF ENCOURAGING THE ENEMY,

I'VE JUST BEEN COMMISSIONED A LIEUTENAN

IN THE:

UNITED STATES ARMY.

AH. NOW YOU MAKE ME FEEL

TRULY SORRY FOR THE GERMANS.

YOU'LL FIND OUT WHAT THEY INTEND TO

DO BEFORE THEY KNOW IT THEMSELVES.

OH, I'M AFRAID YOUR IMAGINATION'S

RUNNING RIOT A LITTLE-

YOUR FIRST FAILURE

AS A PROPHET.

OH, YOUR EXCELLENCY!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THERE WE ARE.

PAPA GREGORY?

HMM? JOEL, MY DEAR!

HELLO, DARLING.

I WANT YOU TO DO

A FAVOR FOR ME.

HMM? OH, SO I WAS A BRIBE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO,

PARADE WITH YOUR SUFFRAGETTES?

OH, YOU DON' LIKE THAT, DO YOU?

I DO NOT. YOU RULE

YOUR MEN COMPLETELY,

AND YET YOU'RE

NOT SATISFIED.

YOU WANT I IN THE LAW BOOKS.

NOW,

DON'T YOU WORRY.

ALL I WANT YOU:

TO DO:

IS TO POINT OUT BORIS STRONSKOFF FOR ME.

BORIS STRONSKOFF? HE

WAS STANDING RIGHT OVER-

OH, THERE HE IS NOW

WITH HIS BACK TOWARDS US.

I HAVE A BRILLIANT IDEA FOR

MY RUSSIAN BAZAAR NEXT WEEK.

I'M GOING TO ASK HIM

TO SING FOR US.

MONSIEUR STRONSKOFF.

OH, MONSIEUR STRONSKOFF,

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.

I'M JOEL CARTER.

AH.

ONLY USED TO THE FRENCH.

IN RUSSIA, WE HOLD

THE HAND MUCH LONGER.

YES. YES, OF COURSE,

BUT I-

I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF YOU'D

SING FOR US NEXT WEEK, MONSIEUR.

IT'S FOR CHARITY,

YOU KNOW.

JUST A FEW SELECTIONS,

OF COURSE.

IT'S FOR THE RUSSO-AMERICAN

RELIEF COMMITTEE.

AHA. WHY DO ALL

AMERICAN WOMEN PURSUE ME?

WH-

OF COURSE,

I DO NOT BLAME YOU.

YOUR MEN HERE,

THEY ARE SO WEAK.

THEY ARE NOTHING.

I- I DON'T THINK

YOU UNDERSTAND, MONSIEUR.

IT'S JUST THAT I WANTED YOU

TO GATHER TOGE-

AH, YES, I UNDERSTAND.

THESE MEN HERE, THEY...

UH, THEY BORE YOU.

BUT THIS WEEK, I HAVE

NO TIME FOR YOU AT ALL.

MY TIME IS, UH,

PAPA GREGORY?

AND HE DIDN'T MAKE

A WORD OF SENSE.

BUREAU IN THE FAR EAST.

JUST COME HOME:

TO JOIN THE ARMY.

HE BELONGS IN FRONT OF A

DRUGSTORE IN THE MIDDLE WEST.

OH, NO. HE'S NO AS BAD AS THAT.

STILL, HE DID MAKE A RATHER

STRANGE REMARK TO ME A MOMENT AGO.

OH, JOEL, WILL YOU

HELP US AT THE DOLL BOOTH?

WHY, OF COURSE.

WHAT CAN I DO?
