Go for Broke! Page #7

It's just that good old

Yankee know-how.

Watch out!

If I was a Jerry

on the end of this ridge

and a tank got close enough

to fire point-blank,

I'd take off

like a ruptured duck.

Yeah.

Right over the side

of the ridge.

There oughta be somebody

down there to meet 'em.

That's what I was thinking.

Let's go.

Hey, sergeant.

Sergeant.

Where's Lieutenant Ohhara's platoon?

This is it.

We're your new replacements.

Ohhara's the name.

Another suntanned Irishman.

Come on.

Ohhara.

They're Japs.

Hey, knock it off, will ya?

What's the password?

Dipsy doodle, that's it.

That was it, a week ago.

Let's have that password.

One. Two.

Bakatare.

Come on out.

Make 'em give you

the right password.

You ever hear a Jerry try

to pronounce a Japanese word?

If that's not

a buddhahead, I'll...

You'll what?

Sam, Chick, Tommy.

A whole battalion's lost,

and we gotta find them.

Man, I never thought I'd be

so happy to see a bunch of Japs.

Pardon me. Japanese.

I mean, Nisei.

No, that ain't it.

What is it, Grayson?

Buddhaheads.

Okay. Okay.

Buddhaheads, huh?

That's right.

He sure is touchy about that.

One time, he even slugged me.

Slugged you, huh?

Did you hear that, Chick?

Where's the rest

of your outfit, lieutenant?

Back there about a mile.

But it took us hours

to get here.

On our bellies, most of the way.

When do we start?

Not enough of us would make it

to do 'em any good.

What do we do, lieutenant?

That's up to you, Sam.

I'm strictly a liaison officer.

Skirmish line up the hill.

Tell me something, Sam.

What does bakatare mean?

Well, freely translated:

You're a heel.

A stupid jerk and a heel.

That was putting it mildly.

Go for broke!

Go for broke!

Grenade!

Go for broke!

Aah!

Look out, Tommy!

Is that all there were?

They went thataway, partner.

Go for broke!

Yahoo!

Any of you guys

want a cigarette?

Bye, you buddhaheads.

So long.

Ride 'em, cowboy.

Bye! Thanks a lot, Jack.

See you in Berlin.

Look out for that mademoiselle.

Take it easy.

So long.

Thanks.

Au revoir.

Goodbye, you all.

So long.

I'll be seein' ya.

Aloha, partner!

So long.

Attaboy.

See you in Paris.
