Hurry up.

[DOGS GROWLING]

BIELER:
Go down.

MAN:
Don't stop.

MAN:
Give me the gun.

BIELER:
Come on, hurry.

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

[GUNSHOTS]

Hurry! Get into the plane!

Hurry, hurry!

No! No, Anna, no!

Mutki!

ANNA:
Come on, honey.

BRONSKl:
Come on!

Good, Mutki. Good!

ANNA:

Come on. Please, Mutki!

Jump, baby, jump.

Baby, please jump!

Are you all right? Will it fly?

It's just a compass.

We don't need it.

[SPEAKING IN GERMAN]

- What's wrong?

- We won't clear those telephone wires.

Hurry! Everybody run to the back!

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

- We're on our way!

- We're on our way!

[ENGINE SPUTTERS]

- What's happening?

- We're out of fuel. I'll have to land.

It's hard to see. Is that England?

I think so, but without this compass,

I can't be sure.

We'll know soon enough.

- What's going on?

- We're out of fuel.

- We're coming in for a landing.

- What's going on?

We're gonna land.

Tell everyone to brace themselves.

We're gonna land. Brace yourselves!

- Where are we?

- We're not quite sure.

- Where are we?

- We're not quite sure.

We're not quite sure.

[SINGING]

Don't get moody.

- How's your feet?

- Terrible.

Bless your heart.

Okay, who's next?

[AIRPLANE PASSES]

Stay here. Just in case this is German

occupied territory, I better go first.

Excuse me!

- Is this England?

- Oh, my God.

Mr. And Mrs. Bronski, His Majesty's

government is in your debt.

If there is any way we could repay

your gallant service to the Crown...

...would you please let us know?

Well, general, since this

is the land of Shakespeare...

...it would give me great pleasure,

nay, great honor, if I could, well...

What he's trying to say...

...is he would love to do his

famous "Highlights from Hamlet. "

- Why, certainly.

BRONSKl:
Thank you.

Highlights?

The show's just started.

Right this way, please.

RAVITCH:
Is not more ugly

to the thing that helps it...

...than is my deed

to my most painted word.

O heavy burthen.

I hear the handsome young prince

coming. Let us withdraw, my lord.

To be...

...or not to be

That is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind

to suffer the slings and arrows...

MAN:

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

Excuse me.

- Of outrageous fortune...
