Been trackin' a Jap squadron for a day

and a half. Lost 'em somewhere over Fresno.

- I'm from Olene, Illinois.

- Tough sh*t.

You see any Japs

around here?

Hell, son,

They got a secret air base down in Pomona.

That's where they're all comin' from.

Pomona.

Which way is, uh,

Let me hear 'em!

Aaaaaah!

Aaah!

Vaya con Dios,

my friend!

To Hollywood...

Ha-ha-ha!

This thing

handles pretty well...

...even if it's not

a B-17.

But...

...does it have

much range, Loomis?

- Huh?

- I mean...

...do you think it'll stay up

for a long time?

Sure. Hell, we've used less

than a quarter of a tank already.

Look. We're already over

the Riverside County Reservoir.

at the Crystal Ballroom...

...in downtown Los Angeles.

I hope you enjoyed

tonight's program.

I'd like to thank all the Gls for

helping make tonight's evening such a-

...a memorable occasion.

Maybe in the future we can

have some Negroes come in...

- And we'll stage a race riot right here.

- Wally!

This is Sal Stewart saying,

I hope you had a good time.

We're gonna be

boogie-woogie-ing our way...

...right... Across...

the street... Soon.

So stay tuned

to this station.

- Next week we'll be back. Hope you had a good time.

Ohh. Ohh.

Aah!

Ohh!

Oh, no!

Aah! Ohh!

Stretch!

Oh, boy!

- Aah! Ohh!

Hey, you!

Make no mistake about this:

Japs do not surrender and

they don't take prisoners.

They have only one idea in mind.

Do you know what that is, sailor?

- Kill!

- No!

- That's right! To kill you,

to kill your families!

To kill your families,

mothers, loved ones and pets...

- And keep on killing until

they conquer the world!

- And when they do...

- Wally!

...you won't be able to speak your free

mind or worship God in your own way.

- Pardon me.

- You won't be able to walk down Main Street anymore.

- Stretch! Stretch!

- Hey, lady, what are you doin'?

- Stretch!

- Look at Santy Claus. Isn't he cute?

- No!

- You think the Japanese believe in Santy Claus?

- No!

Instead of turkey

for Christmas dinner...
