MacArthur

1:38:01

What's MacArthur say
about it? He's not worried.

1:38:03

He's calling it political
blackmail. He's probably right.

1:38:06

Mr. President, let's watch our step. If we
expand the war in Korea to include Red China,

1:38:11

we're up against the Soviets, A
- bomb and all.

1:38:19

Alvin. You go on ahead to Wake
Island. Make the usual preparations.

1:38:25

I think it's time I had a
talk with General MacArthur.

1:38:28

I've never met the man.
Yes, sir.

1:38:37

Wake Island,
Mr. President.

1:38:39

By golly, that was quick.

1:38:42

How about one of you fellas
radio on ahead?

1:38:45

See if
the big general's there.

1:38:47

The president should be greeted.
He shouldn't be the greeter.

1:38:58

I don't see him,
Mr. President.

1:39:01

They probably had a little trouble
getting him down off his cross.

1:39:35

Wait a minute. There he is. That son of a bitch isn't
in uniform, he's in costume.

1:39:39

I don't know why it is an old man like that,
and a five-star general to boot,

1:39:42

has to run around dressed up like a 19-year-old
second lieutenant.

1:39:46

I'll tell you one thing,
if he was an officer in my outfit...

1:39:49

I'd bust him so fast
he wouldn't know what happened.

1:39:52

And making me wait.

1:39:54

He can do that to Harry Truman,
but not to his commander in chief.
