You have a good suit.

Sure, it's a good suit.

Paid 25 bucks for it two years ago.

And along comes that heel, Hitler.

- It's a very good suit.

- It's a dandy suit.

Just now, most of the boys are wearin' these.

Yes.

- Well, I'm a son of a ...

- Stand up.

Put your hands up.

Stand over there.

Unless you're anxious to be shot,

you won't move.

[Footsteps]

I'm perfectly ready to kill you or anyone else.

Yeah, I can see you are.

- Fourteen drums of carbide.

- Don't move.

- [Man #2] Fourteen drums

- Who's movin'?

Nine cans germicide.

Okay. Everything checks all right.

Okay, then seal her up.

[Train Whistle Blows]

Now look what you done.

I am a deserter now.

- What do you mean?

- They're taking us clear out of the country.

- Out of the country?

- Into the States. We're crossin' the border now.

Into America?

Heil Hitler.

- Dirty Nazi.

- Yes, I'm a Nazi. Heil Hitler.

- One of them off the U-boat.

- Quite right, my friend.

In two minutes, I shall be across the border.

Once there were six of us.

Now I represent them all.

Field Marshall Gring has said ...

"It doesn't matter as long as we have

only one plane and one man left,

... so long as victory is ours.

- [Rumbling]

- Do you hear that?

We've beaten these dirty democracies,

these weaklings.

I tell you, we've something inside us ...

... something beyond the dim, muddied

minds of you in the democracies.

What do you know of the glorious,

mystical ties of blood and race ...

... that unite me with every German Aryan?

When I step on American soil,

I shall not be alone.

Adolf Hitler and all the great

German people will be with me.

- [Spits]

- It is not the Canadian people we're against.

It's your filthy government,

the whole democratic system.

You don't like it any more than I do.

You don't like the job they've given you.

- You don't like the food. You said so yourself.

- Why, you spoon-fed louse.

I can grouse about the food and the C.O.

And anything I blame please.

And that's more than you with your

Gestapo and your storm troopers ...

... and your Aryan putschwehr.

Aw, nuts. What's the good of talkin' to you?

You can't even begin to understand democracy.

We own the right to be fed up

with anything we damn please ...

... and say so out loud when we feel like it.

And when things go wrong, we can take it.

We can dish it out too.

[Man] Hey, Eddie. Wait a minute Hold the door

Thanks.

- Hey, Eddie

- Yeah.

- You check and I'll mark.

- How about you checkin'and me markin',

... this brush stings.

Go on and wrestle some boxes.

It'll be good for you.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Hey.

Lady Godiva

- Who are you two?

- I'm Andrew Brock, Canadian Active Service Force.

You look it. And you?

- We're on American territory?

- Yes.

I am Ernst Hirth, a German citizen. I demand

to be taken to the nearest German consulate.

Don't do it. Send him back.

He's an escaping Nazi.

He slugged me. That's my uniform.

- Hey, this gun is loaded.

- No.

By your American law,

you must take me to my consul.

- Is that right?

- I'm afraid it is.

- He's one of that gang off ...

- ... the German submarine, the U-37.

- On the level?

I am Leutnant Hirth of the German Navy

and also a German citizen.

- And I demand ...

- You've got to send him back.

He's not just an escaping Nazi. He's important.

The whole German nation is waiting

to see if he can get away with it.

- I know. I read the papers.

- Hey, couldn't we sort of ... you know?

- You mean?

- Yeah.

- No.

- By your own law, you must take me to my consul.

Sometimes I think we got too many laws.

- Don't let him pull that law stuff!

- You know better than that, soldier.

I'm a Customs Inspector.

This is for the Immigration Department.

My job's inspecting and checking

on freights and imports.

Listen, Captain. What would you do

if he were an illegal shipment of ... cheese?

Return him. But he's a human being.

- At least he's a Nazi.

- He's not on the manifest, is he?

- What?

- I said, "He's not on the manifest."

- No.

- No.

No, he's not.

- The American law ...

- Aw, shut up.

I know the law.

It says, "Imports are not admissible

unless properly manifested"

I find two items not listed.

- How do you check?

- Same way. Two unlisted items.

But your law refers to freight, not to persons.

This is a freight car, and you're freight.

- Tell the engineer to return this car.

- Okay.

Phone those Canucks and tell 'em it's coming

with two items missing from the manifest.

- Tell 'em to either list 'em or take 'em off

- Check.

Thanks, Colonel. Thanks a million.

We've all got to do our duty, soldier.

- I'll send your gun back to the Mounties.

- Okay. I don't need it.

But I protest. You cannot do this.

It's illegal.

Sonny boy, I've done it.

Hello, Macaulay? It's Eddie speakin'.

We're sendin' back car number 8772.

Gee, you guys are gettin' careless.

There's two items not in the manifest.

- Now, either list 'em or take 'em off.

- [Train Whistle Blows]

[Engine Starts]

Put 'em up, Nazi.

No, not that way. This way.

Cause I'm not askin' for those pants.

I'm just takin' 'em.
