Tora! Tora! Tora!

Tora! Tora! Tora! (トラ・トラ・トラ！^?) is a 1970 film that dramatizes the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the series of American blunders that unintentionally improved its effectiveness. The title is the code-words that were used by the Japanese to indicate that complete surprise was achieved. (Using a repetition of the Japanese word for tiger, though whether this meaning was specifically intended is unknown.) At the time it was released into theaters, it was a financial disaster but over the years, purchase of the recorded versions allowed a profit. The movie was critically acclaimed for its vivid action scenes (in fact several later films relating to World War II in the Pacific would use footage from Tora, Tora, Tora) as well as its almost documentary accuracy. Its most famous line, however, though widely assumed to be a quotation, turned out to be fictitious.

The Japanese ambassador just arrived.
He should be up shortly.

:09:32

Thank you.

:09:35

The Japanese are stalling, Henry.

:09:38

You know that.

:09:41

When Nomura took over as ambassador...

:09:44

...I had some hopes of settling
our differences.

:09:47

But our meetings so far
have been unproductive.

:09:51

He brings me proposals,
I offer compromises.

:09:55

He brings me counterproposals,
and so on.

:09:59

I tell you, Henry,
Nomura was sent here to buy time.

:10:04

That's what he's doing,
at our expense.

:10:07

The president thinks he's...

:10:10

...a man we can trust and deal with.

:10:16

Mr. Ambassador, we meet again.

:10:18

It is always a pleasure.

:10:21

I assume you know Mr. Stimson,
the head of our War Department.

:10:25

Oh, yes, of course.

:10:27

Mr. Ambassador.

:10:29

I do hope, Mr. Stimson...

:10:31

...your presence here
doesn't indicate anything ominous.

:10:35

Of course not, Mr. Nomura.

:10:37

Mr. Nomura, won't you please sit down?

:10:40

Thank you.

:10:45

Well, since our last talk
a week ago...

:10:49

...I have received a certain...

:10:52

...shall we say...

:10:54

...question from my government...

:10:57

...to put to you
to clarify certain matters.
