Go for Broke! Page #4

Synopsis: A tribute to the U.S. 442nd Regimental Combat Team, formed in 1943 by Presidential permission with Japanese-American volunteers. We follow the training of a platoon under the rueful command of Lt. Mike Grayson who shares common prejudices of the time. The 442nd serve in Italy, then France, distinguishing themselves in skirmishes and battles; gradually and naturally, Grayson's prejudices evaporate with dawning realization that his men are better soldiers than he is. Not preachy.

He see uniform.

Yeah, and probably figure

we're spies.

Sam, I tell you something.

I don't like talk about it,

but I'm gonna tell you.

Pearl Harbor day

the planes they come.

You can only read it.

I can see it.

Pretty soon, I go volunteer

for the 100th Battalion.

Too young.

By the 442 come up,

I volunteer again.

Too small.

Next time, I stand on my toes

a little bit.

Okay, I'm in.

They send us Europe.

Sure, I go and fight.

More better do I fight

the ones who bomb the islands.

It's the same enemy, Tommy.

Maybe for you.

Pearl Harbor day, two people

visit friends near Honolulu.

They both been killed.

My mother, Sam. My father.

Mail call.

Guchizaki.

Here.

Hey, this is from my brother

in the 100th Battalion.

Nawaguchi.

Mail call, Tommy.

You go.

No mail for Tommy.

Come on, close it up,

close it up.

Here's the list, lieutenant.

Thanks, captain.

Nagashook... Shooki.

William J.

- Nishigoka.

- Leonard S.

Uchigakiuchi.

Harry.

Ikagani.

Joseph T.

- Kamakura.

- Sam W.

Toyotomi.

Tomatsu.

Guchizaki.

Satoshi.

Shimabukarotenshugi.

Shima...

Shimabukarotenshugi.

- Shima...

- George W.

Thanks.

- Fugimoto.

- Thomas H.

Any scuttlebutt on where

this scow is taking us?

I was just gonna ask you,

lieutenant.

Aloha

I'm sending my thoughts

Back home to you

Hey, Sam, how you know so sure

we're going to England?

Because that's where

the line forms

for the invasion of France.

And it's coming off any day now.

That's us. Shock troops.

Just in time.

They used up

the 100th Battalion at Cassino.

But anyway,

it won't be the Pacific.

How do you know?

You ever hear

of the Panama Canal?

Hey, Sam, what you think?

Maybe so, huh?

Well, if it's the Pacific,

we've been sailing three days

in the wrong direction.

The navigator don't know.

Nobody knows.

Drives you nuts.

Oh, I'll get it.

Thank you, lieutenant.

For 20 years the Italian

people have been fed on bunk.

Their propagandists declared

that all of our people

look upon Italians

with contempt,

regarding them as a race

of hand organ men

and banana peddlers.

We know that such statements

are lies.

Racial prejudice is abhorrent

to our American concept

of democracy.

Naples with its old world history,

majestic Vesuvius,

the Castle of St. Elmo,

the famous churches,

the magnificent harbor,

second to none in all the world.

These and many other

historic sights are of interest

to the soldier.

Take advantage

of this opportunity.

See as much as you can.

You've got a great chance

to do now,

major expenses paid,

what would cost you

a lot of your own money

after the war.

You'll want to poke around

in quaint,

out-of-the way places
