00:50:30,820 --> 00:50:33,279
Hundreds of houses left empty.
285
00:50:33,823 --> 00:50:34,864
Is that right?
286
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:39,285
I'll show you the houses
I lived in before Frank found me.
287
00:50:41,664 --> 00:50:43,331
They were luxuriant!
288
00:50:44,458 --> 00:50:46,084
Luxuriant?
289
00:50:46,711 --> 00:50:50,463
You had good sense being born there.
It was good living.
290
00:50:50,965 --> 00:50:53,550
There certainly was good living!
291
00:50:57,388 --> 00:50:59,973
There was opulence!
292
00:51:02,143 --> 00:51:03,685
Opulence.
293
00:51:06,439 --> 00:51:07,564
All right.
294
00:51:08,190 --> 00:51:11,234
We'll go look at these houses.
295
00:51:14,655 --> 00:51:16,322
Let's go, Frank.
296
00:51:17,825 --> 00:51:18,867
Opulence.
297
00:51:49,356 --> 00:51:53,151
That one has whiskey, gin
and a white piano.
298
00:51:54,069 --> 00:51:57,363
That one has whiskey, gin....
299
00:51:57,573 --> 00:52:00,909
-Whiskey and a radiogram.
-What about the boarded one?
300
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:05,413
It has a mirrored dance floor,
radiogram, fountain...
301
00:52:05,790 --> 00:52:09,250
-...and crystal chandeliers.
-Crystal chandeliers?
302
00:52:09,835 --> 00:52:12,378
-I think they were crystal.
-You're tired.
303
00:52:12,630 --> 00:52:13,671
What about cash?
304
00:52:14,173 --> 00:52:17,926
What about money?
I did see money.
305
00:52:18,177 --> 00:52:21,763
Piles of notes on the table.
I'm taking you there.
306
00:52:22,431 --> 00:52:23,598
Turn right here.
307
00:52:54,713 --> 00:52:56,548
I knew she'd come back.
308
00:52:59,009 --> 00:53:00,635
Take it easy.
309
00:53:02,179 --> 00:53:03,847
Mother!
310
00:53:23,242 --> 00:53:25,994
-Damn it, they're Japs.
-I see. Back out.
311
00:53:26,203 --> 00:53:28,830
I can't back out! There's no reverse!
312
00:53:29,039 --> 00:53:30,707
-Just go forward.
-Come on!
313
00:53:40,926 --> 00:53:43,511
Jesus Christ, Frank.
314
00:53:54,356 --> 00:53:57,108
I want these back when they're done.
315
00:54:07,828 --> 00:54:09,621
Basie....
316
00:54:10,706 --> 00:54:21,132
Basie.
317
00:54:27,932 --> 00:54:30,516
Engine number two on fire.
On fire, come in.
318
00:54:30,726 --> 00:54:33,811
Come in, Red Dog Leader.
Red Dog Leader, come in.
319
00:54:34,021 --> 00:54:37,065
Adjusting propeller? Red Dog Leader.
320
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:41,569
Engine two on fire.
On fire, on fire, on fire....
321
00:54:41,779 --> 00:54:46,449
Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the feast of Stephen
322
00:54:46,659 --> 00:54:50,828
When the snow lay round about
Deep and crisp and even
323
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:55,625
It's just a little fever.
Don't worry. We've all had it.
324
00:54:55,834 --> 00:54:57,627
Do you feel better now?
325
00:55:57,813 --> 00:56:00,523
It's perfectly all right.
I can wash it.
326
00:56:10,701 --> 00:56:12,785
Excuse me.
327
00:56:13,829 --> 00:56:15,621
There's been a mistake.
328
00:56:16,331 --> 00:56:18,499
It may have been my fault.
I'm terribly sorry.
329
00:56:36,894 --> 00:56:41,022
Attention, prisoners!
For camp transport, assemble outside.
330
00:56:41,231 --> 00:56:45,276
Outside. Make one line.
Number one prisoner group to gate.
331
00:56:45,486 --> 00:56:48,029
Prisoners, number one truck.
332
00:57:11,637 --> 00:57:13,930
Have you forgotten the cutlery?
333
00:57:14,139 --> 00:57:15,848
No, I haven't.
334
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:24,857
Basie.
335
00:57:25,901 --> 00:57:27,360
Basie.
336
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:29,695
No.
337
00:57:30,531 --> 00:57:35,159
You can't drink water from here.
People are dying of dysentery.
338
00:57:36,078 --> 00:57:38,037
But we can drink boiled water.
339
00:57:38,956 --> 00:57:40,581
Boiled water?
340
00:57:42,084 --> 00:57:43,167
Many thanks, Basie.
341
00:57:43,585 --> 00:57:45,211
You're welcome, Jim.
342
00:57:45,420 --> 00:57:48,214
You've got nice manners.
I appreciate that.
343
00:57:49,925 --> 00:57:52,385
Now it's chow time.
Get in line.
344
00:57:52,845 --> 00:57:55,888
Keep the ball in play,
first in line.
345
00:57:56,098 --> 00:57:58,224
I think your father would agree.
346
00:57:58,559 --> 00:58:00,434
Actually, he would agree.
347
00:58:00,644 --> 00:58:03,479
After the war, you two
should play tennis.
348
00:58:06,275 --> 00:58:10,653
I want you to get Mrs. Partridge's
potato while you're there.
349
00:58:12,114 --> 00:58:13,948
I think she died, Basie.
350
00:58:14,158 --> 00:58:17,577
She died, but didn't hand
in her dinner pail.
351
00:58:18,412 --> 00:58:21,539
Okay, go. Go on. Hurry.
352
00:58:25,419 --> 00:58:29,422
And, Ace, don't forget to bow
to the sergeant.
353
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:35,803
We gotta get out of here.
354
00:58:39,099 --> 00:58:44,020
The camps are full. It's our
bad luck to be taken here.
355
00:58:51,069 --> 00:58:5
