We'll Meet Again (1982): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Big One - full transcript

[music playing]

Sorry, I--

I can't stop the consulting
positions here it's about mom.

I just wanted to ask
how your husband is.

He's still in the
hospital in Tunis.

They can't move him yet.

How bad is he?

He's The tank he was
in had a direct hit.

Some damage to his spine.

He'll be flying him back soon.

Excuse me, doctor.



Dr. Hayward was asking if you
had the notes on Mrs. Bedin.

Oh, yes, I'm coming up.

I won't keep you.

Hi.

What's all that about?

Uh, nothing.

All right, listen, I gotta
go into town after chow.

You wanna come?

But you promised to
go to Ziggy's crap game.

Elmer, the only guy
who wins at a crap game

is the guy who runs it.

I'll come with you, Mario.

Yeah, great.

You guys are crazy.



Any place worth
going to is off

limits since that rumble
at the movie house.

If the MPs catch you
you'll be in the slammer

before you can blink.

First they got to catch us.

[horn beeping]

Jim.

Where is the fire?

What?

I've been chasing you for
the last mile and a half,

didn't you see me?

No.

What's that?

If that thing had
wings you'd be airborne.

Sorry.

Pat called it was a
letter from Ronnie.

I wanted to get home.

Ah.

What is it?

It's Captain Miller,
he started hemorrhaging.

Sister Dixon tried to
stop you before you left.

I was at the hospital,
offered to chase you down.

I'd better get back.

Look out on your feet

I'm all right.

Sure?

Sure.

Take care.

Thanks.

I really can't stop.

We haven't seen you in ages.

Well, I didn't
like to intrude,

your husband killed and all.

Anyway, I brought you these.

What is it?

Oh, spam and
stuff from the mess.

What for?

Well, Mrs. Bilton
pointed out I

was eating up all your rations.

I just never thought--

anyway, go on, take 'em.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, ma'am

Oh, oh you are
kind, thank you.

Come on Betty, off to bed now.

I want Uncle Joe to take me.

No, I'll take
you love, come on.

No, I don't mind.

Come on, honey.

Just as long as you don't
wake up little Billy,

you say your prayers and
go straight to sleep, OK?

OK.

Good.

Say goodnight to your mom.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, love.

What about your gram?

Good night, Gram.

I want the story about
the bear and the--

No, listen, you promised.

Now, when you make your promise
you've got to keep it, right?

Watch your head.

That's gusto.

What is?

Lettin' him put her to bed.

She's very fond of him, Ma.

Hmph.

Of course she is.

Stuffs her with
sweets and chocolates.

That's all she sees in him.

You don't do so bad yourself.

Buying his way in.

An excuse to keep coming here.

He doesn't need an excuse.

He's been a good
friend to this family.

What does that mean?

We all know why he
keeps coming here.

Why?

Sniffin' around.

My son Stan hardly
cold in his grave.

You should hear what
people are saying, my girl.

They're not blind, you know.

And you listen
to talk like that?

What do you tell them?

Well?

Well, I-- of course I--

Well?

Well I tell them there's
nothing to it, of course.

That you do washing for him.

He's a decent man, Ma.

You can't stop people--

One of the most
decent I ever met.

But some people can't help
making everything seem dirty.

If I can get a pass five
for a whole day, how about you

and me takin' off somewhere?

Where to?

I don't know.

Out to the ocean or to the
country, just the two of us.

I'd like that.

You can trust me, we're
partners, aren't we?

Yes and if I go
back to the base

with a pocketful of excuses
we are out of business.

And certain parties are
going to come looking

for us with baseball bats.

So cough up partner.
- Whatcha mean, here?

Yeah, here.

Come on.

Dear, oh dear.

Come on.

You don't trust nobody, do ya?

You are catching on.

Listen, we've got expenses.

This will just about cover it.

Look, we're a good
team, aren't we?

Ay?

Listen to all of you about it.

Come on, I have a good idea.

It's a real humdinger.

What are you two
whispering about?

I was just telling Mary
about this idea of mine.

What idea?

SID: Well, what do
you like doing most?

Don't you be so cheeky!

Yeah, well apart from that.

Put it another way.

What do you look forward
to most every two weeks?

Eh?

- The dance.
- Right.

Bullseye.

Give the girl a lollipop.

The dance run by the
goodwill committee.

So what's to stop us
organizing our own dance?

Thank you, Joe.

OK.

Have you heard about the
Independence Day jamboree?

Ma mentioned it.

JOE: Well, I was wondering--

I kind of wondered if
you'd like to go along.

I'd like to, Joe.

Maybe it's a bit soon.

Sure, OK.

I just thought it
might do you some good.

Sorry.

No, it's OK.

I understand.

I just asked.

Take care, now.

PHYLLIS: Well, I
think it's a disgrace

the committee hasn't been told.

Well, if it's private.

But it's not.

They're charging half a crown.

Somehow or other they've even
got a license till midnight.

If it's open to everyone, I
suppose some of our service men

will go.

Do you think there
could be another riot?

I hope not.

So what do we do?
Have it banned?

No.

It's official.

We'll have to give
it our blessing.

Will you be going?

I don't think so.

Everyone's talking about it.

Does sound rather intriguing.

How about you, Pat?

Well, if you're
not going, Mummy.

I'd only be a wallflower.

I suppose I should.

One of us ought to.

Why don't you go with Phyllis.

You'd probably enjoy it.

Yes, I suppose I might.

Well, we could
take turns dancing

with that gorgeous major.

Whatever his name is.

Jack.

Is there any messages for me?
- No.

Should there be?

I just wondered if Mario
had popped in, that's all.

What is this
between you and Mario?

What are you talking about?

Well, you've cut up that dance
between you two, haven't you.

I needed the Yank's
cooperation, didn't I?

Excuse me, Jack.

Gotta dash.

Now listen, pal.

It don't matter whether
you fancy it or not.

All right?

We've been very
sloppy about all this.

Now before-- would you listen?

Before people start making
the connection between us,

we've got to provide one.

Yeah, and Letty's it.

Your boys.

The ones who come
here to the hospital.

They're so young, most of them.

That's a matter of reflexes.

Have to be 100% fit
or they wouldn't

have a chance in hell of getting
through their 25 missions.

25?

It's inhuman to ask anyone
to do it as often as that.

Is it possible?

It's possible.

I did.

Since I've done my
quota, I practically

have to get signed permission
from the commanding general

before I can take off.

You still fly missions?

Not as many as I'd like.

I didn't know.

Sure you won't change
your mind about the dance?

No, I don't think so.

I ought to be getting back.

Might do you good.

Pat'll represent
me, she's going.

So you said.

I do hope there's not
going to be any trouble.

I'll have our MPs there,
and more within earshot.

I just hope that whatever
caused the last ruckus

has blown itself out.

I don't understand how--

how is it you didn't
know about the dance?

We knew about it.

Some of our guys dreamt it up.

Good old American
free enterprise.

And since it's for the fourth,
and it's all above board.

And why the hell shouldn't
they have a few laughs?

Hold a girl for a while?

And pretend that's what's real?

And forget.

The whole stinking
mess of the war.

Five soldiers again
tonight, Albert?

We're not soldiers.

We're civil defense.

What would we do without you?

Eh?

When are you expecting
your next delivery?

Well, it depends what's
available, don't it?

I promised my customers.

I've taken orders.

Well, you see, you've created
a demand, Albert, haven't you?

People know where I come, now.

Trouble is, I let you have
the last lot at a discount,

because of the family.

Discount?

Yeah.

Well my other outlets pay
30 or 40 quid more than you.

Now it's only sensible they
should get first choice, innit?

30 pound?

'Course, they pass the
cost on their customers.

Well, what if--

what if I could
find the extra 30.

Then I don't see
why you couldn't have

a delivery a night, Albert.

What do you want?

Tin of Spam, corned beef,
dried fruit, mixed vegetables?

Coffee?

They do do an nice
line in coffee and all.

Oh, who turned the iron off?

How many times have I
told you not to wander

around the house like that?

You're not a child anymore.

It doesn't bother me, Albert.

No, but it--

Put something round yourself!

Oh, Dad.

You were off
gallivanting, too, are you?

Can't have a dance
without the old Joanna.

I warned them, but
they won't listen.

There'll be another riot.

Oh, everybody's
ashamed of that, Dad,

it couldn't happen again.

Oh, couldn't it?

There's bad blood, and
where there is bad blood--

and what are you talking
back to me for anyway?

It's only my opinion, Dad.

When you get
yourself a useful job,

you might have a right
to express your opinion.

Steady on, Albert, eh?

I'm sick and tired of being
contradicted in my own house.

I have a good mind to forbid
you to go out tonight.

Oh, come on, it's my
dance, Albert, remember?

No piano, no dance.

And I'd stand to lose a
packet, now wouldn't I?

Now.

We've still got a little bit
of business to talk over.

So let's just you and I go
and have a nice quiet chat,

and let these two get on it?

Eh?

Your you later.

Can I do my tie next?

Get to get off.

Have you noticed?

Things have been a lot
worse since he's been here.

Who?

Uncle Sid.

Oh, he's all right.

It's quite a laugh really.

So you going out
with Mario tonight?

Is he coming here?

No fear.

He's picking me up at The Calf.

What about Harvey?

Doesn't mean I have
any fun anymore, does it?

Besides Mario is nice.

[dance music playing]

Independence Day gala night.

Look what they did to me.

Well, if you go out, you don't
have to pay to get in again.

Who'd want to?

Who wouldn't go out
to get some booze?

Elmer?

You seen Mario?

Yeah, he's here
around somewhere, Skip.

He just dropped Chuck and I off.

Hey, Rosie.

Your friends looked
in the other night.

I didn't see you, though.

No, well.

I had some business.

Playing dice, wasn't it?

Yeah.

I won my money back.

Well, that's nice.

Did you say you
wanted a dance, Hymie?

Yeah, sure.

See you around, fatso.

Where's that bum, Tom?

Afraid to show his face.

Come on, come on,
come on, step on it!

We haven't got all night.

Can't get good help nowadays.

Is that the lot, is it?

We gotta get to the dance.

All right.

Come on.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

It was worth it.

Come on, let's go.

I'll see you later, Dad.

Right, have a nice time.

First sign of any trouble.

Get her out.

[dance music playing]

Oh, thank you Captain Carson.

It's all they
have, I'm afraid.

You sure you won't
change your mind, Pat?

No, thank you.

I must say, I
expected something

a little more special.

So did I.

I don't see many
officers here.

No, ma'am.

Will Colonel Krasnowici
and Major Kiley be coming?

No, I doubt it.

Well, why not?

Well--

[applause]

This dance is aimed mainly
at enlisted personnel,

and the presence of too many
officers might be inhibiting.

PAT: I see.

But the Colonel and the
Major may drop in later on.

I don't know.

I thought it'd be--

well, different somehow.

The beer is cheap.

Hey, look who's here.

That's the guy I want to see.

Hey, everybody
having a good time?

So you showed up, you bum.

You said this was going
to be something special.

What's the matter?

You're enjoying
yourself, ain't ya?

You got a real nerve
charging real money

to come in here, Mario.

Well, stick around.

We got some surprises.

They better be good.

OK, OK.

Enjoy the music.

Oh, boy, you look a
knock out tonight.

Come here.

Oh, that's better.

I hope I haven't
interrupted anything.

I was just sitting
here on my own.

So was I.

I did think it would
be nice if you looked in.

Thanks.

I'm not very good
company, I'm afraid.

You don't have to talk.

I'll just sit here and
listen to the music.

You mind?

'Course not.

Ronnie's coming home tomorrow.

Ah.

I shouldn't have
come barging in.

I only just heard.

Yeah.

Well.

Good night.

[dance music playing]

[light applause]

The natives are
getting restless, my son.

Yeah, so I noticed.

Guess we better
get started, yeah?

Would you excuse me,
my little sweet thing.

OK guys, that was great.

Really terrific.

You can take a break, now.

OK.

What's going on.

What is this, Mario?

You got a nerve.

Ladies and gentlemen,
please listen, listen.

As you all know, this is
the British American evening

in honor of
Independence Day, right?

What's the pitch?

Now, I'm sure we're
all grateful to Pete

Mundy and the band.

[light applause]

That was the British beat.

Now for the American.

What are you going
to do, whistle Dixie?

Better than that, Stutzie.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Let me introduce to
you the greatest swing

band this side of the Atlantic.

Ladies and gentlemen, Corporal
Hank Duselli, PFC Moe Rosen,

Sargent Harry
Kinshaw, Corporal Lee

Schwartz, and PFC Andy House.

Do you mind, kid?

OK, Duselli, it's all yours.

[swing music playing]

All right!

Miles' at the dance.

Yeah.

Uh.

Do you want--

No.

I didn't ever mean this.

Neither did I.

[swing music]

PHYLLIS: How extraordinary.

Care try, Mrs. Lambourn?

No, thank you.

I'm exhausted just watching.

Ha?

I'd love to.

I reckon we've pulled
it off, my son, eh?

Yeah, we're a hit!

Ha ha!

Come on, baby.

No, I don't--

Come on, it's dance.

I don't want to.

Suit yourself.

Come on, Vera, me ol' love.

What?

Come on, up, up, up, up.

I can't do that, Sid.

'Course you can, come on.

[applause]

You mean it?

You really said yes?

Yes.

I spent days thinking of
all the ways I could talk you

into it, I was afraid you'd--

It was all settled weeks ago.

I hoped you were gonna ask me.

And I knew I was
going to say yes.

I still can't believe it.

Me and you?

You're the most wonderful
girl in the world.

No, I'm not.

I'm the luckiest.

I love you.

I love you, too.

We'll have to
tell your father.

He'd probably
say we should wait.

I don't want to wait.

Neither do I. Do you have
to get permission or anything?

It has to get cleared,
I have to ask the CO.

Oh, will that be difficult?

They don't like
us getting married.

But they can't stop it, not if
you're as determined as I am.

Come on, let's go celebrate.

Let's not tell
anyone just yet.

OK.

But the first day off I
get, we get a ring, right?

And then we tell everyone.

[light jazz]

[applause]

I never knew you could
play like that, Elmer.

Eh, it was OK.

OK?

It was wonderful.

Hold it, you guys.

We don't want any trouble.

That's not what
we've come for.

What are you doing here?

We're reckon it's time
we sorted things out.

How do you mean?

Well the fight.

What about it?

When we thought about
it, we didn't know

what we were fighting about.

Neither did we.

I mean we--

we've been griping
at each other instead

of getting on with putting
a bug up old Hitler.

Yeah.

We speak the same language.

More or less.

We can't expect to be like
each other in every way,

but, I mean, give and take, eh?

Was a family fight.

It's the worst kind.

Yeah.

That's what Charlie said.

You're OK, Charlie.

Eh, what the hell.

Aw, all's well
that ends well, eh?

Come and have a drink, boys.
- Now no arguments.

We're buying the drinks, right?

Oh!

Excuse me, lady.

I really have had quite enough
excitement for one evening.

If you'll excuse me.

Would you care
for a lift, Pat?

Oh, no thanks.

I've got my bike.

But I don't, Captain Carson.

A pleasure, Mrs. Lambourn.

[low whispering]

Why didn't you
dance with Peter?

You having a good
time, Mrs. Mundy?

Yeah fine.

Now you've livened
things up a bit.

Yeah, just for you.

Hey, come on, let's dance.

Go on, love.

Where you been all night?

I could ask you the same.

I am in charge, here.

I got to circulate.

So I noticed.

You mean those other girl--

Hey, come on.

You think I wanted to?

I kept wishing they was you.

You know the only doll I
want to be with is you.

Do you mean it?

Would I say it if
I didn't mean it?

So that's it.

The RAF are
concentrating on Hamburg.

We'll either get
Hanover, or Warnemunde

and the Heinkel factory.

That's way beyond our
fire support, Colonel.

Yeah.

Both of them ring with more
anti-aircraft batteries

than a hound dogs got fleas.

We're on alert for tomorrow?

If the weather holds.

What does Cloudy Joe say?

Set fair for the next
seven or eight days.

So, we'll get maybe
three, four smacks at them.

This is the big one for us.

And those freeloading
Washington politicians

have to choose today of
all days for a goddamn tour

of inspection.

But there won't be a hell of
a lot here for them to inspect,

with every ship we
got up in the air.

Right.

I'll try and lead them the
way I know you would, Rupe.

Sorry you won't be with us.

Crocodile tears, Jim.

You've been waiting
for a chance like this

ever since we got here.

[bell]

Ah, Mr. Mundy.

I didn't think I
was going to have

the pleasure of meeting you.

This is Mario, dad.

Mario Bottone.

My pal.

What kind of a name is that?

Italian.

My family's from Naples.

Naples?

Yeah.

But I was born in the
good old U.S. of A.

We were just having
a cup of tea, Albert.

Won't you join us?

No.

No, I got customers waiting.

Another cup of tea, Mario?

No, thanks Mrs. Mundy.

I appreciate it, but I have
to get back to the base.

Oh, I thought you'd
stay for awhile.

Yeah, well I'd like
to, honey, but, uh, it's

an early night tonight, so.

- Tell you what.
- I'll walk a bit with you.

Great.

Come back soon.

Have a meal with us.

I'll hold you to it.

Isn't he nice.

Really nice boy.

Well?

Who invited him?

He just looked in.

To see Sid.

And Lettie, too.

He seems quite fond of her.

Fond?

He's a nice boy, Albert.

He's a--

If it's not bad enough
him being one of them,

he's a flaming I-tie.

I thought that's what we
was supposed to be fighting.

Mussolini and his lot.

Foreigners, all of them.

Oh, Dad.

Oh, Dad?

It's all right, Albert,
he didn't mean anything.

It's always the
same in this house.

Who Dad likes or
he doesn't like.

Nobody else gets a look in.

Everyone has a different
opinion from Dad,

he must be some kind
of idiot or something.

Peter!

That's all right.

Let him say it.

Anything else, now
you've started?

Eh, lad?

Instead of running
everybody else down,

why don't you take
a look at yourself?

I'm not blind.

I can see what's going on here.

Uncle Sid.
All he--

Sid?
What about Sid?

- Nothing.
- No, he just said--

He doesn't know what
he's talking about.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I can think for myself.

But you can't see
that, can you, Dad?

Because you won't see anything
except from your own point

of view.

And if I had your point of
view, I'd be ashamed of myself.

Right.

You've had your say.

Now I'm going back in there
to get on with earning

a living for us all.

But you be thinking about this.

What you've been bold enough
to start, I shall finish.

Albert, please, don't say--

Young whipper snapper like him
trying to put me in my place?

You don't like the way things
are done in this house,

you can pack your bag
and get off out of it.

All right, I will.

No!

P-Peter, no!

Albert, don't let him.

He said it, not me.

Peter?

Peter, love?

He didn't mean it.

Come on, Vera.
We've work to do.

I thought I'd die
when Dad came in.

Peter?

Don't talk to me about Dad.

Oh, don't take any notice.

This time I--

I couldn't help it.

I kept my mouth shut before.

Peter, what did he say?

Oh, it doesn't matter.

I'm clearing out, Lettie.

Where?

Jack Blair's.

If he'll have me.

Please don't, Peter.

For my sake.

What'll I do without you here?

Anyhow, you know what I
think about Mr. Blair.

Well that hardly
matters now, does it?

Oh, you know
Dad and his rages,

he'll have forgotten all
about it in the morning.

Will he?

Well, I won't.

I just hope those two
don't cause trouble.

- Who?
- Mario and Uncle Sid.

One of these days--

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Do you really like him?

Mario?

Of course.

You know why he keeps
hanging around here, don't you?

Because of me.

Oh, Peter.

I always knew if I
just waited everything

will turn out all right.

But it can't be that bad.

I'm afraid it is, Pat.

You see the base of the
spine was badly damaged.

I can't control my legs.

I've lost all feelings
from the waist down.

But you'll get better.

We have to face it, Pat.

It's permanent.

Your mother is right.

It's-- well, it's
better to spell it out.

It wouldn't be wise to
raise any false hopes.

Now come on listen, you're
not to upset yourself.

I'm not always going to look
and feel like a drowned kitten,

you know.

You'll have to cancel that game
of badminton I promised you,

but I'm so--

I'm sorry, I'm sorry about this,
it's been a tiring journey.

I'm not exactly 100%.

Yes?

Was there anything
else, ma'am?

No thank you, Rosie.

- I'll be off, then.
- Good night, ma'am.

Good night.

Good night, sir.

Night, Rosie.

Oh.

Major Kiley phoned, ma'am.

Oh?

What did he want?

Well, just to see if the
major was back, and how he was

and that.

Thank you.

Night.

Goodnight.

Kiley?

Oh, yes, I remember him.

Well, that was-- that
was very decent of him.

Yes.

Very decent.

Oh, Daddy.

So glad you are back.

Red leader
commencing take off.

Little more juice, Hanson.

How long are we going
to be up today, Skip?

Eight, nine hours.

Should have taken a leak
before we got off the ground.

RADIO: 101, here we come.

Ridley to the low squadron.

Keep it tight. (ON THE
RADIO) A long way to go.

Don't wasted fuel.

Hello, Jim?

Oh, I'm sorry, Colonel,
I thought I was--

I thought I'd been put
through to major Kiley.

Can I speak to him?

Well, he's not
available, Dr. Dereham.

DR. HELEN DEREHAM (ON
PHONE): Tell me when I could?

I'm sorry, I'm--

I'm afraid I can't.

He's not-- is he on a mission?

Was it something urgent?

Colonel-- no.

No it's nothing that can't wait.

Thank you, Colonel.

Goodbye.

RADIO: Navigator to pilot.

Approaching enemy coast.

Red leader to
crew, 10,000 feet.

On oxygen.

You were right, love.

He can't just leave home
for good, can he, Mum?

Have to wait
and see, won't we?

But Mum, what
are we going to do?

Look.

The way those two were going
at it, hammer and tongs.

A bit of space between
them for a while

would be a good
thing for all of us.

The Plough is hardly
the end of the world.

I didn't believe him.

I thought it was just
another one of their rows.

We've both got to face it.

Peter's not a
little boy anymore.

He thought things
out for himself.

He's strong willed.

We've got to leave him
to make up his own mind.

You sure you're all right?

It's just Mario's on a raid.

Yes.

I heard you being sick
again this morning.

Is there anything
you want to tell me?

What do you mean?

It's not just Mario, is it?

[sobbing]

No, It's not true.

Look, if it is true,
you've got to tell me.

Lettie!

I didn't mean it,
it just happened.

You are going to have a baby.

Yes!

Who was it?

Mario?

Well who?

I want to see him.

I want him to come here and tell
me he's going to look after--

He can't, he's dead!

Not Harvey?

The one who was killed?

Oh.

Oh, my poor love.

Oh, Mum!

Poor little love.

Shh.
- Mommy.

Never mind.

It'll be all right.

Shh.

Luftwaffe's out
there somewhere.

Keep a look out.

RADIO: I got 'em,
I can see them.

Don't yell on that intercom.

What do you see?

RADIO: Five, six
FW's at four o'clock.

Climbing.

Mark them

RADIO: Four of FW's,
nine o'clock, level.

High squadron, low squadron.

Keep your eyes peeled.

They're heading in.

RADIO: Here they come!

[gunfire]

Yee-ha.

We got 'em.

We got 'em!

Did you see that, Skip?

RADIO: They're still comin'.

[gunfire]

Short bursts, dammit!

Lewowski's hit, sir.

He's dropping away.

Mark him.

Two squadrons of
MEs, 10:00 high.

Low squadron, close
it up, close it up.

RADIO: He's on fire, sir.

All men bailing out.

Thank you, darling.

Well, hello, there.

Did you have a pleasant walk?

Three acre field.

See how the sugar
beet was doing.

Oh, well.

Make someone a good farm
manager one of these days, eh?

Oh, listen, darling.

I meant to ask you.

Could you ring that American
major and thank him for me?

I already have.

He's not there.

RADIO: Navigator to pilot.

We're at the IP.

[muffled explosions]

Bomb bay doors open.

Bombardier, make it good now.

At the flak.

Roger.

[bombs whistle]

I don't like it.
It's too quiet.

Low squadron, watch
for stray fighters.

RADIO: Here they come.

[gunfire]

SLV, ten o'clock, high.

[gunfire]

That was close.

Will you come back later?

No chance.

Maybe tomorrow.

Early?

Early?

Uncle Joe, I've drawn
your picture Uncle Joe.

He's not your uncle,
stop calling him that.

I don't mind, Mrs. Bilton.

But I do.

He's not anything
to do with you.

Now remember that.

Ma.

Betty, run along to your room.

I don't want to.

You heard your mummy, honey.
Come on.

Let's go.

Betty.

That wasn't necessary, Ma.

It's time somebody said it.

Said what?

I've had about as
much as I can stand.

You want to explain that?

Everyone pointing.

Everyone talking about us.

Because of you and
(SILENTLY) him.

It's not right.

But people talk.

Carrying on, under the
same roof as the children.

I won't have it.
- This is my house.

And what I do or don't do
in my house is my concern,

and not anybody else's.

Do you want me to go?

You know I don't.

You're shameless.

I'd be careful what you say.

Are you threatening me?

No, I'm just telling
you to shut up.

You know you're talking to?

I certainly do.

The most disagreeable, selfish,
meanest spirited old woman

I've ever laid eyes on.

How the kids could have
a grandmother like you,

and how Sally's put up
with you for six years,

I just don't know.

But I know one thing.

She's stood more
from you in that time

than you can make up to
her and a whole lifetime.

Oh, get out.
Get out.

Get him out of here.

No, I ain't going.

But I'll tell you who is.

You've got your
own home to go to.

So get moving.

And if you haven't packed and
cleared out in 20 minutes,

I'll take you out and dump
you on the road myself.

And I'll help.

Whew.

I think she's going.

I don't believe it.

Low squadron to red leader.

I'm running three engines
and a busted tail.

I'm going to fall back.

Stay in formation,
we're not leaving anyone.

Close it up.

Harvey, watch what you say.

There are German
fighters around.

RADIO: Right waist to pilot.

FWs 7 o'clock, coming
to 9 o'clock, level.

Fire!

[gunfire]

Yes.

We'll be ready.

Get the ladder up.

Get those guys out of there.

Hello?

Chuck?

Oh thank god.

Thank god.

You You did it, Jim.

The group did it.

You hit that target
right on the button.

It looked good.

Yeah, one more
raid, and they'll

be knocked down forever.

One more?

Hell, Ruf, we lost
five ships today.

Yeah.

And some of the other groups
were nearly wiped out.

At least were still operational.

So we can go out again.

And again.

This week is critical.

What's the news
from the hospital?

They lost some.

Saved some.

What about Hanson?

Still operating.

And where the hell do
you think you're going?

The hospital.

Jim.

I didn't know, I
couldn't ask anyone.

I'm OK.

How's Hanson?

He's probably going to
lose the sight of one eye.

He'll be all right, though.

You must have done a good job.

You know it's nearly
4:00 in the morning?

I didn't dare look.

Come on, doc.

We'll get you home.

I know.
