Knock it off, or you'll both|sit out the mission in the brig.

- Is that bad?|- See you manana.

- Good night.|- Good night.

Now hear this.|Hear this, you jokers.

The show goes on tomorrow morning.

Everybody's in the act.

The commander's going to do the recon job,|and Mr. Klinger's gonna turn on the fireworks.

We're gonna leave this bucket|at 0600, so be on deck...

ready, willing and able.

- Who are you going with, Jake?|- Horseshoe luck. Klinger.

- Then I'm your man.|- Me too, Jake!

What's the matter with him?

That's it, all right.

Looks deserted.

Deserted as a beehive in June.

- We're beginning to lob 'em over.|- Yeah.

0500. Time to put the boats|in the water.

Franklin?

- All engines ahead one-third, turns for five knots.|- Aye, aye, sir.

Put Boats 2 and 4 in the water, Bill.

Have them drop aft|for loading immediately.

Put Boat 3 in after they shove off|with orders to stand by in case it's needed.

Aye, aye, sir.

All right, fellas.|Let's get the other raft over.

Shall I go below and tell|Mr. Lawrence everything's set?

No. You can bet me|he'll be here promptly at 0600.

Not one minute before|or one minute after.

I think you'll find everything aboard|according to your orders.

- Rosemary 4-1 is alongside.|- Okay.

My group will go in Rosemary 4-1,|your group Rosemary 4-2.

- Right.|- All right. Over you go.

- Shove off soon as you're loaded, Mr. Klinger!|- Aye, sir.

All right, fellas. Over the side.

The skipper said we'll|pick you up here at 0900.

- Right.|- Good luck.

Thanks. Shove off. Full speed ahead!

Rosemary 4-2, this is Rosemary 4-1.|Testing.

Rosemary 4-2, this is Rosemary 4-1.|Testing. Over.

Hello, Rosemary 4-1.|I heard you loud and clear.

Hello, Rosemary 4-1.

All right!|Put the boat in the water!

Slow it down.

- All secure?|- Right.

Full ahead.!

All right. Fins and masks on.

Rosemary 4, this is Rosemary 4-1.

Request smoke on Green Beach.|Over.

Ask the bombardment group commander to|lay down smoke in sector two, grids nine to 12.

Aye, aye, sir.

All right. Now, remember,|the flag's waiting for this information.

I don't have to tell you how important it is|that the flag gets it.

On it may depend the initial success|or failure of the invasion.

So take a good look at everything,|and don't trust to memory.

That's what those slates are for.

When you're through, come back|to the pickup line, stand by for the boat.

Okay, let's go!

Looks promising.

Yup.

- You ready?|- Right now!

Get set for the pickup run!

- Everybody here?|- Yes, sir.

- Good job. Thanks.|- Thank you, sir.

As soon as Mr. Lawrence gives us the signal,|you touch off the time fuses.
