Memphis Belle

1:47:01

Sir, eighteen planes, three still out.

1:47:18

So, that's the crew of the Memphis Belle?

1:47:20

The enlisted men.
You'll meet the officers this afternoon.

1:47:24

They must be the 10 luckiest
sons of bitches in the world.

1:47:27

CO: They're just ordinary men.
BRUCE: Are you kidding?

1:47:33

Ordinary? First they volunteer for all this.

1:47:36

Then they fly 24 missions without
a scratch. Doesn't sound ordinary to me.

1:47:41

MAJOR: Two more, sir.

1:47:51

People back home are getting discouraged
by our losses.

1:47:54

They're thinking daylight bombing
is a mistake.

1:47:57

- It's the only way we'll win this war.
- We must get that message across.

1:48:01

That's where I come in.

1:48:03

The nation will fall in love with those boys.

1:48:05

The first crew in the Eighth Air Force
to complete their tour of duty.

1:48:09

CO: They haven't done it yet.
BRUCE: They will.

1:48:11

You'll make sure of that, right?

1:48:20

DANNY: One more.

1:48:22

Just one more.

1:48:23

It'd be great if everyone came back today,
with the dance and all.

1:48:26

CLAY: I give them four to one.

1:48:29

Any takers?

1:48:31

JACK: I'll have some.

1:48:32

CLAY: Show me your money.
JACK: Loan me some money.

1:48:35

EUGENE: Do I look like Wells Fargo?
JACK: You look like a weenie.

1:48:38

DANNY: There it is!

1:48:39

[Applause]

1:48:41

VIRGE: I heard there's a swell band
for the dance.

1:48:44

DANNY: Maybe they'll let you croon a tune.
CLAY: No.

1:48:46

EUGENE: You always sing in the plane.

1:48:48

CLAY: Yeah, but you guys got no taste.

1:48:52

[Engine sputters]

1:48:58

[Sputtering worsens]
