Officer: Colonel Gilfillan
will address the men.

:02:24
Aye, aye, sir.
:02:30
Boatswain:
Now hear this.

:02:31
Now hear this.
:02:33
Gilfillan: Marines,
Company B, First Battalion,

:02:35
this is Colonel Gilfillan.
:02:38
We're gonna be landing on
a Jap-held island before long.

:02:40
A couple of things
I've said to you before

:02:42
I think are worth repeating.
:02:45
When you hit that beach,
:02:46
there's gonna be a lot of
noise and smoke and confusion.

:02:49
You're gonna have
to keep your eyes

:02:51
on your squad leaders
and platoon leaders.

:02:53
I don't want any lost
little lambs runnin' around.

:02:55
You know where lambs end up.
:02:57
And let's get it straight,
this is a big island.

:02:59
There's a lot about it
we don't know yet,

:03:01
and a lot
we're gonna have to find out

:03:02
from theJaps themselves.
:03:03
We used to say that the only
good Jap was a dead Jap.

:03:08
I'll remind you
that that's changed.

:03:11
From here on in,
:03:13
a good Jap is also a Jap
prisoner who tells us things.

:03:18
Now, this is an order.
:03:20
Whenever possible,
you will take prisoners.

:03:22
I say again,
you will take prisoners.

:03:25
Some of us were together
at Guadalcanal

:03:28
and again at Tarawa.
:03:30
I was proud to be with you.
:03:31
I know it will be
the same after this.

:03:35
Believe me,
:03:37
this trip is necessary.
:03:41
All hands, good luck.
:03:43
I'll see you on the beach.
:03:47
Wouldn't you know,
I'd get a stinkin' cold.

:03:52
What's the matter,
Whitney?

:03:55
I don't like the dreams
I've been having.

:03:57
Ah, don't let it
worry you.

:03:58
I've landed
on 2 Jap islands,
