Geronimo!

Whoa! It's turning!

Look, it's pointing this way!

- Torpedo!

- Torpedo!

Blackout! Blackout!

Douse those street lights!

Kill that

theater marquee!

I made it!

It's me, you yellow bastards!

Come on! It's me,

Wild Bill Kelso!

I know you're in there,

you yellow-bellied zipperheads!

Wally, did we get 'em?

I think so.

She's going down.

All right! Hey!

Where are ya?

Oh, Geronimo!

All right!

My name is Wild Bill Kelso.

And don't you... Shoot.

All right,

turn this tub around.

You're taking me to Tokyo.

Anybody got a light?

...out of a brilliant blue western sky...

- Foreign aircraft, flying both

in large formation and singly...

...flew over Southern California

last night...

- And drew heavy barrages

of antiaircraft fire-

...the first ever to sound over United States

continental soil against an enemy invader.

No bombs

were reported dropped.

Shortly before 10:00 p.m.,

police reported...

...that an airplane had been shot down

into the La Brea Tar Pits.

- In other parts of the city...

Fifth Column acts were

reported during the air raid.

- Mysterious lights were spotted

in many locales.

In the Tarzana hills,

Burbank police...

...saw a string of lights

in a "V" form...

...pointing toward

the Lockheed Aircraft plant.

All right, fall in

the yard! Fall in the yard, men!

Foley, Jones,

Reese, Hinshaw! Ten-hut!

...and immediately Army

searchlights shot into the sky.

Sergeant,

what happened here?

Sir, while suppressing a riot on

Hollywood Blvd. Iast night with our tank...

I... was, uh,

struck unconscious.

My men, however, received a report

about a Japanese sub...

...off the Santa Monica Pier

from a downed Army Air Corps captain.

They responded immediately, went to the

objective and at about 2300 hours...

- They engaged the enemy.

- Damage?

Uh, the Japanese sunk both our tank

and, uh, the ferris wheel, sir.

I think we hit the sub.

I saw it go down!

You see, sir, l-

- Donna! Donna! Donna! Not now!

Oh, honey.

- My girlfriend was there- There was

this wild man- - Is this a long story?

- Yes, sir.

- Then save it.

Sir, I'd like

to say something.

We've been through a lot,

all of us.

We faced the enemy

for the first time last night...

...right in

our own backyards...

...and we came together...

...put our differences aside and carried

on the true spirit of America.

I think no matter what happens,

what sacrifices we have to face...

we can carry forward

like Americans.

While we're doing our repairs, I'm going

to hang this wreath on my front door.

This symbol of Christmas...

...this symbol of peace.

I just want to remind us all

that we're not going to let...

...a bunch of treacherous

enemy killjoys...

...ruin our Christmas.

Boy, that's great!

What?

- You're gonna need tanks

for the Burma road, sir.

I'm just a sergeant,

but I'm a great mechanic.

You know, this year wasn't the

big year of the war, '41.

I think the really big year

is going to be 1942.

- Let go of me!

It's gonna be a long war.

Let me go! Let me go!

Oh! Open the door!

Whoa-ohhh!

That is the craziest

son of a b*tch I ever saw.

Torpedo!

It was on

that radio there!

Jesus Christ, it's a sub!

Look, you guys, a Jap sub!

I can't beat you

in a fair fight.

Back! Back!

They're rioting

in the street, sir.

Whoa-aah!

Let's get outta here!

Hi, Stretch!

Close, Ward. Close.

That reminds me. Kill them cockroaches

in that flour sack.

- Look at that!

There goes Dad!

Kill a few Krauts

for me, huh?
