Maybe, but don't let the Mandrias fool you.

They work for us and say how terrible it was...

...that 6,000,000 Jews went into the oven.

But when the showdown comes,

we always stand alone.

Mandria will sell us out like all the others.

We have no friends, except ourselves.

Remember that.

You're wrong,

but you'll have to learn that for yourself.

Now tell me, how is Jordana?

I think she's in love.

You've had this letter since last night-

I forgot about it.

He's in love with her, so he thinks everyone is.

He's right.

She mention me in there?

Thank you.

- No, thank you.

- None for me.

How did you know I postponed my departure?

Central Intelligence has a great talent

for spying on the innocent.

It'll interest them to learn

that I have a plot under way.

Good. Can you tell me about it?

There's a child at the camp

I'd like to take out for a holiday.

Just for luncheon,

and perhaps to buy her some clothes.

Then I take it

some of the strangeness has worn off?

I know it was foolish to say that.

But I can't help it. I do feel strange among them.

Except for this girl.

Somehow she's entirely different.

Her point of view, the way she works...

...she acts, feels and speaks

almost exactly like an American.

I can think of no higher praise.

You're laughing at me, and I deserve it.

I'm not laughing. I'm simply glad it worked.

- What?

- I wanted you to get interested...

...in something

beside your own troubles, and you did.

It's interesting that you saw it so fast.

- Of course, you were absolutely right.

- I'm glad you weren't offended.

I shouldn't like you to become a woman...

...who drifts through life, "fair to no purpose...

"... artful to no end,

young without lovers, old without a friend. "

Do you have a solution?

If I were 20 years younger

I'd offer myself as a solution.

The Vale of Kashmir is no good

unless you share it with someone.

Places don't mean anything.

Only people are important.

Fill your life with people.

Let Tom return to the grave where he belongs.

Fred!

- Yes, sir?

- There's a child out at Karaolos...

...Mrs. Fremont would like released for a day.

What's her name?

Karen Hansen.

- See to it for me, will you?

- Very well, sir.

- Isn't it a little irregular?

- Extremely.

That's why I want your signature on the pass

instead of my own.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Isn't she a beauty?

You must have towed it across.

All right, she's no beauty,

but her heart is solid oak. You'll see.

Ari!

Hank, how are you?

Hank Schlosberg from Cincinnati.

He's run more ships through the blockade

than anyone.

This is Mr. Mandria, who arranged for this tub.

- Not a bad ship.

- Not a good one, Mr. Mandria.

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
