:21:00
It's a gourmet's dish.
:21:01
No kidding.
:21:03
Whose dish?
:21:04
A person who
knows fine food.
:21:07
Oh.
:21:10
You know, with all the things there are
to eat on this island...
:21:13
There's breadfruit,
mangoes, papaya...
:21:16
not to mention
the fish in the sea...
:21:19
There's no question
about us surviving.
:21:21
We could go on here for years...
:21:23
and I mean years.
:21:28
You think it might come
to that, Mr. Allison?
:21:31
Well, the way
this war is going.
:21:34
Well, isn't there any chance
of our own forces landing here?
:21:39
Well, the brass planned
to bypass a lot of these islands...
:21:43
on their way to Tokyo.
:21:45
At least,
that's the scuttlebutt.
:21:46
Scuttle what?
:21:48
Scuttlebutt.
You know, the poop.
:21:52
Poop.
:21:53
Like, um, guys
beating their gums...
:21:55
you know, giving out
with the rumors.
:21:57
Oh, yes,
of course, rumors.
:22:01
Well, they don't seem to beat their gums
on very hopeful poop...
:22:04
do they, Mr. Allison?
:22:06
No, ma'am, they don't.
:22:13
How far do you figure
it is to Fiji, ma'am?
:22:15
About 300 miles,
Father Phillips said.
:22:19
Lots of water.
:22:21
Due south,
ain't they?
:22:23
I believe so.
:22:29
That's the way
the wind's blowing.
:22:33
Why, Mr. Allison?
:22:37
Why, Mr. Allison?
:22:41
Well, I was thinking...
:22:46
But no, ma'am, that would be
just plain crazy.
:22:48
What would?
:22:50
Trying to sail
down there in a raft.
:22:54
Everything would be against
our making it, everything...
:22:57
even if there weren't
Japs all around...
:22:59
and we could
sneak through them.
