Hell to Eternity Page #3

doing out with a Jap broad?

Well, well, now just a minute.

No, no, no, Guy. Don't. Please.

Let's just go someplace else.

Johnny, now, knock it off, will you?

Wait a minute, Johnny, wait a minute.

oh, please.

- Come on, now. Take it easy, will you?

- What do you mean, take it easy?

- What do you expect after what's happened?

- That's what I mean.

- Making cracks at that girl for no reason.

- Wait, listen to this.

At least 2000 Americans have been

killed by Japan's sneak attack.

The great fear of the moment...

...is that more Jap bombers

may be even now on their way.

If you got any sense, get that girl

off the street and out of sight.

From what meager information

we've been able to get...

...from radio reports...

...extensive damage has

been wrought on Hickam Field.

No matter how long it may take us...

...to overcome this premeditated invasion...

...the American people in

their righteous might...

...will win through to absolute victory.

I ask...

...that the congress declare...

...that since the unprovoked...

...and dastardly attack...

...by Japan...

...on Sunday, December 7th...

...1941...

...a state of war...

...has existed...

...between the United States...

...and the Japanese empire.

We're at war for sure, men.

What should we do about it?

We ought to join the army as fast as we can.

Are you guys crazy?

Crazy? Didn't you hear the president?

Well, sure I heard him. So what?

Enlisting is nuts. We'd

be fighting our own people.

They're not our kind.

They might be coming here to L.A. next.

Sneak up on us, just like at Pearl Harbor.

- Freddy, where's the closest place to join?

- Fort MacArthur.

- Let's get going before the war's over.

- Yeah.

Coming with us, Guy?

You don't think I'm gonna let

you go by yourselves, do you?

- Never passed up a good fight yet.

- George...

...do you know what you're doing?

She's asking if we know what we're doing.

Do we know what we're doing?

Have the coffee ready when we get back.

Yeah, we might be back in uniform.

- Come on, Kaz, let's take off.

- Where you going?

- We're going to Fort MacArthur to join up.

- You're wasting your time.

What do you mean?

I was there yesterday. I tried

to enlist and they laughed at me.

You'd think we're spies or something.

They don't want any of us.

They might accept Guy, but not you two.

Well, if they don't want my

brothers, than the hell with them.

I don't care what you say, it

stinks. The whole thing stinks.

oh, Guy, please don't. Don't blame

them. They're only following orders.

They haven't told you

where they're taking you?

To Santa Anita, the assembly center.

- Then a relocation camp.

- No. Concentration camp is what you mean.
