This is the Australian Broadcasting
Commission. And now the news.
Japanese forces continue their
heavy attack on the Philippines
and Dutch East Indies.
Occupation of Manila is now complete
with American and Philippine forces
under the command of General MacArthur
withdrawing to the Bataan Peninsula.
His Majesty's forces are carrying
out an orderly evacuation
of the New Guinea coast, in preparation
for defence of Port Moresby and...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
s M/ I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand
s M/ Lots of idle fingers snap to my command
s M/ A lovely pair of heels
s M/ that kick to beat the band
s M/ Contemplating nature can be fascinating
s M/ Add to these a nose that I can thumb
s M/ And a mouth, by gum, have I
s M/ To tell the whole damn world
s M/ if you don't happen to like it
s M/ Deal me out, thank you kindly, pass me by
s M/ Pass me by, pass me by
s M/ If you don't happen to like it, pass me by
Hey, hey, hey.
Get off.
Boom...
Here, just a minute.
Where do you think you're
going with those, hmm?
Do you know who I am?
Um... Not exactly, no.
Well, we'll let it go this time.
Yes, sir. I understand. Salamaua
will be cleared by noon the latest.
Nothing left that the
Japanese will be able to use.
Sir, there's a chap
outside who...
May I respectfully remind the admiral that
I was harbour master here for 20 years?
I helped put the docks together so I should
certainly be able to blow them apart.
Sir, there's a chap outside
who's pinching our petrol.
are assigned, except...
- Matalava, sir.
- Except Matalava, sir.
I haven't been able to find
a replacement for Anderson.
I don't believe there's a civilian
left on the entire north coast.
We could have transferred George Dickens
if he hadn't got himself eaten that way.
You needn't make him sound
such a shirker, Stebbings.
What's that, sir? For want of a nail?
The war was...
Yes, I'm well aware
of that, sir.
Hello, hello, hello.
I think I may have
found our nail, sir.
A rusty one, I grant you, but they don't
come any sharper. Excuse me, sir.
Sir, that's the chap I
was telling you about.
Later, Stebbings.
Who is he, sir? Is he
someone I should know?
His name's Walter
Eckland, an American.
like the back of his hand.
Oh.
Oh well, now that America's in the war,
he's probably on his way back to enlist.
Eckland's not on his way
anywhere, Stebbings.
Hasn't been for years.
Hello, Walter.
Frank! That you inside there, Frank?
What have you done to yourself?
- There's a war on, Walter.
- Everybody's saying that.
At the moment, we're losing it.
I guess you must be.
Cheek of the man!
That's quite a boat you have there, Walter.
Doesn't it belong to old Van Der Hoeven?
- No!
- Whose is it, then?
- Mine.
- How did you get it?
- I bought it from old Van Der Hoeven.
- What with?
American dollars.
You've never had more than $200
at one time since I've known you.
You can't tell me Van Der Hoeven
sold you an $18,000 launch for $200.
- No, it cost me $400.
- $400?
You know, that's exactly
the way he said it.
Only, I pointed out to him
he might as well sell
it to me as let the
Japanese have it for free.
What impresses me, Walter, is the
fact that you even had $400.
Well, I didn't.
I only had 200,
just as you said.
I owe him the rest.
Well, come along. Lend a hand.
Come on.
Empty hands
make idle minds.
Here, pick those up.
No, no, no.
Two, come on.
? Contemplating nature can be fascinating ?
Do you know what the coastwatching
service is, Walter?
