Hard to believe, he says.
1:02:02
You should have been with us
at New Guinea.

1:02:04
That was a war.
1:02:05
- This isn't exactly a clambake.
- I don't go for this. No, sir.

1:02:09
Who does? You guys ain't alone
in this muck and mire.

1:02:12
- Hello, muck.
- Hiya, mire.

1:02:16
The way I figure it is this:
1:02:17
Military science
is a different kind of science...

1:02:20
consisting of tactics.
1:02:21
Maybe you can figure out
how we'll get back to the base.

1:02:24
There is the question that interests me.
1:02:26
- We'll get back, all right. Don't worry.
- Don't make sense to me.

1:02:30
Swamps, jungle, rivers, flies, fleas,
beetles, bugs, snakes. It's monotonous.

1:02:34
What'd you expect to find in a jungle,
booze and babes?

1:02:37
- That ain't a bad idea.
- Look at Williams.

1:02:39
You don't hear him beefing,
and he's an old man.

1:02:41
Where'd you get that "old" stuff?
1:02:44
Can't judge terrain from a map, anyway.
1:02:46
It'll be tough both ways.
1:02:49
What do you think?
1:02:51
- Sounds good to me.
- I think it's best.

1:02:55
Okay.
1:02:57
That's it.
1:03:04
Close in, fellas. Close in.
1:03:14
Here's the situation.
1:03:18
Somebody switch that motor off.
1:03:23
That guy can go to sleep on a clothesline.
1:03:27
I don't have to tell you that we're behind
that well-known eight ball.

1:03:31
The Japs are cagey.
Plenty cagey, and they're looking for us.

1:03:34
Unless we can outsmart them,
they're gonna find us.

1:03:37
The last contact I made with the planes...
1:03:39
I told them to meet us day after tomorrow
at map reference G-285906.

1:03:44
That's about 30 miles from here.
1:03:46
But I don't know how many miles
that we can travel in a day.

1:03:49
There's no way of telling
through this kind of stuff.

1:03:52
There's two practical ways we can go.
1:03:54
But again, I don't know which is the best
and which is the fastest.

1:03:58
We're going to split up into two groups.
Lt. Jacobs will take one group.
