:24:01
I guess you understand we're taking on
a job that would be tough for trained men.

:24:06
We're gonna blow up a gasoline dump
on a Japanese airfield...

:24:09
50 miles the other side of Balintawak.
:24:12
There will be from 400 to 500 Japs
on the field.

:24:14
- How many?
- 400 or 500.

:24:22
A mere trifle, like we say.
:24:25
We'll start tonight after dark.
:24:26
That ought to put us at the airfield
by dark tomorrow night.

:24:29
Between now and sundown,
Sgt. Bernessa will give you instructions.

:24:33
Listen to him carefully
and do exactly as he says.

:24:37
- Take over, Sergeant.
- Yes, sir.

:24:48
Things look rough?
:24:51
A little rough.
:24:53
In that case, smell this stew.
:24:59
Go ahead, smell it.
:25:03
Ever smell anything better than that
in your life?

:25:05
Never.
:25:08
In that case, taste it.
:25:19
Why, it's a masterpiece, Bindle.
:25:21
You taste there
the fruits of two days' panhandling.

:25:24
All of which goes to prove
that nothing is wasted.

:25:26
People could look at me and say,
"Bindle Jackson, hobo."

:25:29
But without 20 years' experience on the
road, could I make up a mulligan like that?

:25:33
- Never.
- Now, if I could only shoot.

:25:43
Colonel, strictly from a point of view
of scientific curiosity...

:25:47
what would you say our chances are?
:25:50
- Of blowing up the dump or getting back?
- Both, especially the latter.

:25:55
- Fair.
- Fair?

:25:57
You wouldn't say good?
:25:58
Not if you want me to tell you
what I think.
