What's that? Hey, no... I'm goin' home.

Come on.

No, you don't.

Come on, come on.

Shut up.

It is five past 8:00. We will not be

able to dispose of the Americans...

if they do not appear.

I've thought of that.

If they are not here

by 10 past 8:
00,

I have ordered the military police

to classify them as deserters...

and shoot them on sight.

Deserters!

That means us.

Oui?

Oui... Ah, come on.

Lou, we're in trouble.

Where do we go from here?

Let's go to the dock, get

a boat and go home. Come on.

Whoo!

Shh!

Hey, they're M.P.'s

and they're looking for us.

And if they find us, they'll

shoot us on sight as deserters.

We can't make a move

unless the coast is clear.

You stay right here.

Don't move. Okay, I won't.

We're being followed. I spotted

one of'em. I saw one too.

That's two of'em. I'm gonna

find out how many there are.

I just saw one. I saw

one too. We're surrounded.

We're not gonna get nabbed

without putting up a fight. No.

Wait right here.

Oh, it's you.

Shhh, quiet! Shut up!

Here, hold this. I'm goin' around

this building and flush 'em out.

If I happen to chase one of'em

around this way, bang him!

I'll let 'im have it.

Right over the head.

Hit him, Lou!

Hit him! Hit him, Lou!

Hit him!

Why didn't you hit the guy

I chased? I was too busy.

Somebody was chasin' me. Now you

listen to me. You stay right here!

I'm gonna backtrack,

and I'll get 'em.

And don't forget to use

that club, do you hear? Okay.

Stay right there. Backtrack.

I'll backtrack too.

Wh-What's the matter?

One of'em got me. That's

okay. I got one of them.

Hey, we're gonna fool 'em.

You go ahead as a decoy. Hmm.

When they sneak up behind you,

I'll sneak up behind them.

And... clunk! Simple?

I'd have to be to do that.

Go ahead, go ahead. Okay.

Hey, Lou!

Hey, Lou!

Lou.! Lou.!

Oh, hey, Lou! Boy, did I get

'im! He tapped me on the shoulder,

and just as I-I...

Hey, Lou, wait a minute.

Was it you I bopped? Yeah.

Oh, gee, I'm sorry, Lou.

I didn't mean it, Lou.

No? Oh, you know I wouldn't do that to you.

Here, take my club and hit me right on

the head with it. Go on. I don't want to.

Go on, Lou. Take my club and

hit me on the head with it!

I don't wanna use your club. Why not?

I wanna use my own.

I, I...

Come on.

Why...

Ah, what's the use?

Come on.

Whee!

Oh, no! Not again?

Help! I've been looking all over for you.

I'm sorry, lady, we can't waste

our time with you. We're deserters.

You can't. I need you. I am

Nicole Dupre, French Intelligence.

I arranged for your pass tonight. You?

Oui. Oh, then you had somebody help you.

No, I arranged it. That's

what I said. You did it.

Oui. Yes, you had somebody help you.
