:14:02
They find each other.
:14:08
Well, isn't that something?
Isn't that something?
:14:15
Do you really like it?
:14:18
Well, darling, it's swell.
:14:21
Come on, we'll talk some more.
:14:24
Pete.
:14:28
If there's half as much love
in this old gal as there is talk...
:14:31
...I may be dead in the morning.
:14:42
Hey, Johnny.
:14:44
- Morning.
- Morning.
:14:47
You look like you've been
run through the wringer.
:14:49
Just part of me.
:14:52
What's happening, kid?
What do you think of the script?
:14:56
Well, I'll tell you the truth. I like it.
:14:58
- I like it a lot.
- Good.
:15:00
It's original, it's exciting and it's moving.
I just have one little problem with it.
:15:05
The ending.
:15:06
- You don't like the ending?
- No, I didn't say I don't like the ending.
:15:10
I'm just not sure that it's the right one.
:15:14
Let me put it in Hollywood terms.
I think it's too downbeat.
:15:18
After everything
these two have gone through:
:15:20
They fought the river,
tropical storms, the Germans...
:15:23
And just when you've set the audience up
for a wonderfully comic ending...
:15:28
...you blow the ship up and kill everybody.
:15:32
Well, Pete, there's an old saying:
:15:35
"God makes a man before he kills him."
:15:37
I've heard it, John. I've heard it.
But I don't think it applies in this case.
:15:41
You're beating the audience
over the head, John.
:15:44
People don't go to see pictures
to be lectured to.
:15:48
Tell me, Pete. Do you own
a percentage of this film?
:15:51
No.
:15:52
Then why are you so concerned
about the damn audience?
:15:56
Because we're in show business, John.
:15:58
Not me. And not you, either,
when we work together.
