1:39:09
You and Adams lock up the shop.
1:39:10
I want you both in Washington
by Wednesday night.
1:39:13
- And forget about that tomb.
- Yes, sir.
1:39:16
Admirals Corning and Ridgeway
are supposed to testify on Thursday.
1:39:19
I don't think they'll get to us
before Monday.
1:39:21
- Bus, can I see you a minute?
- Is something the matter?
1:39:25
I think you could say
something's the matter.
1:39:28
I just got a call from the
Sixth Relocation Center in Southampton.
1:39:31
That's where they bring
the casualties from France.
1:39:33
They've got
a Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison...
1:39:35
ready to be released.
1:39:37
Would we arrange transportation
for him and bring him a uniform?
1:39:41
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.
1:39:43
- I don't know if you heard me.
- I heard you. I don't get it.
1:39:46
- I spoke to him. He's alive.
- He's practically a French national shrine.
1:39:50
How the hell can he be alive?
1:39:51
He got on the phone. Said, "Hi, Paul."
I said, "Hi, Charlie."
1:39:53
He said, "Paul, do me a favor,
call Miss Barham and tell her I'm okay."
1:39:57
I saw him with my own eyes.
1:39:58
He also said, "Tell Bus
if I ever lay my hands on him...
1:40:01
"I'm going to belt him
in his big fat stern sheets."
1:40:03
He's alive.
1:40:05
The first dead man
on Omaha Beach is alive.
1:40:10
Boy, that's great.
1:40:12
200 newspapers in the US alone,
the front cover of Life magazine...
1:40:15
every newsreel in the world,
and he's alive.
1:40:17
- What's he mad at you for?
- Not only is he alive, he's a coward.
1:40:21
We had a nice dead hero.
Now we got a lousy live coward.
1:40:23
- What's wrong?
- This better not be a gag!
1:40:25
It's no gag.
1:40:28
Admiral!
1:40:31
Sir, he's alive, damn it.
1:40:33
Alive? Madison?
1:40:36
Yes, sir.
1:40:37
In a relocation center in Southampton
waiting to be released right now, sir.
1:40:41
Thank God.
1:40:43
That's wonderful, Bus. Wonderful!
1:40:48
Now we can bring your
first man on Omaha Beach...
1:40:52
right into Room 610
of the Senate office building.
1:40:57
Sir?
1:40:58
I want Madison flown to Washington
on the first plane out of Southampton.
