Hell's Angels

We are good.

Ja! Wunderbar!

Look at that, Karl.

Well, Roy, you seem to like my country.

Like it? I think it's marvelous.

Say, I wish we were staying here two years instead of just two weeks.

But you know, Karl, it does sound funny hearing you call it "your country."

I keep forgetting you're not English.

Oh, sometimes I... Well, I feel almost English myself.

Well, that's natural. After all, you can't be at Oxford three years...

without feeling slightly British.

I wish Helen were here.

After all you've said about her, I don't blame you.

Your brother is not coming today, Herr Rutledge?

Oh, yes, he'll be along soon, Gretchen. Nothing can keep Monte away from this good beer.

Nothing except a good-looking woman.

Jawohl.

That brother of yours, he's a naughty boy,

but I like him.

He has a way with them, hey, Gretchen?

You, you don't know half of it.

Another conquest for Monte.

Yes. I don't know why he wants to mess about with every woman he meets.

Yeah, but you have Helen.

I'm not at all sure.

I'm not half good enough for her. She must be a wonderful girl.

Oh, she is. She's marvelous.

You'll have to meet her when we get back to Oxford.

- I'd like to. - Would you like to see what she looks like?

Yes. I didn't know you had a photograph of her. Yeah, and neither does Helen.

I took it myself when she wasn't looking. Really?

Oh. Stunning, isn't she?

Why, she's marvelous.

Cheerio, you blighters.

Hello, it's Monte.

Meet the countess. Step up, gents, to the one and only...

Now, Monte, don't, please. Oh, it's all right.

This little pretzel doesn't understand a word of English. No?

Gretchen! Ja!

Found her at the museum.

Yeah, she's a work of art, all right. You should have left her there.

Shh! Quiet!

I say, Monte, why do you bring around this sort?

Bring her? Good heavens, I can't get rid of her.

Go home, will you? Go home.

You see, I'm stuck.

Hello. Who's the dowager? That's Helen.

Oh. But, of course, that's only a snapshot. Wait till you meet her.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Go away!

I say. This is getting serious. I've got to get rid of her.

Oh, you know, I have a very important engagement in just 15 minutes.

I say, you chaps, be... be sporting and take her off my hands.

But after all, Monte... We may be sporting, but we're not feeble-minded.

Well, you can do what you please with her. I'm going.

Hey, listen, Monte... Auf Wiedersehen.

Here, just a minute now. Please.

Leave her to me. I'll get rid of her.

Please. Yes.

Ja.

Nein. Nein. Nein. Nein.

Roy! No! Roy! No, carry on. Carry on.

Pretty boy, you please me very much.

What's that?

It is nothing. I am not at home to anyone except my husband.

And he is away on army business.

He will not be home for hours.

So, you see...

Charming.

But really, I-I say you mustn't think that...

Your name?

My name is, uh, Rutledge, sir.

You are stopping in Munich?

At the Hotel Bayrischer Hof, sir.

My seconds will call on you later.

But I say you...

There is nothing further to discuss.

Sailing, sailing over the bounding main

Where many a wintery wind shall blow 'ere Jack comes home again

Hello. Where you going? Sailing, sailing England.

England? Why, we're not going back for 10 days.

What's wrong?

Baron Von Kranz. Who's he?

Oh, he's just a friend of mine. Really?

Quite a social success, aren't you? How do you meet these barons?

Well, unfortunately, I met this one through his wife.

And this means... A duel. Can you imagine it?

Running away? Oh, don't be an ass. Roy.

You don't expect me to go through with a farce like this. It's the only thing you can do.

Oh, there you go again. I suppose when a woman's no good and her husband finds it out,

I've got to get shot, just because it's the honorable thing to do.

Well, what do you think people will say? You'll never live it down.

What do I care what people say?

Well, you can talk all you like, Monte, but you can't walk out like this.

Can't I?

Good-bye. See you at Oxford.

Hello, Roy. Hello, Karl.

Well, what's up? Where's Monte?

He's gone to England.

England? Well, what's the matter?

Oh, nothing. But I say...

Herr Rutledge?

Herr Rutledge?

Yes? Von Richter.

Von Schlieben.

We represent Colonel Baron Von Kranz.

Yes.

Have you chosen your second?

According to custom, we have selected the time and place.

You have the choice of weapons.

What is your choice?

What is this?

Golden Aue.

Why, that's a famous dueling place near here.

It says at 4:00 tomorrow morning.

4:00 in the morning.

Well, how did this happen?

I- I'm sorry, Karl. I-I lost my temper with one of your officers.

But, Roy... Say, Karl, do you know how to be a second?

Wait here, Roy.

Bitte.

Good luck, Roy.

Did you ever see a lassie a lassie, a lassie

Did you ever see a lassie go this way and that

Hey, will you cut it out?

Hey, did anybody see my green socks?

Check in the garbage. Hello there, Roy.

Hello, Elliot. Glad to see you. I'm certainly glad to see you back.

Thank you. And where's your German accent?

Well, I couldn't get it past the Custom officials.

Oh, I say, what have you done to your arm?

Oh, nothing. It's just a little scratch. I was hunting in Germany.

I'll see you at dinner? Righto.

Good. See you later.

Why aren't you getting dressed? Aren't you coming to meet Helen?

Oh, yes, but don't remind me of it. Don't be foolish. She expects us for tea.

Tea? Listen, it'll do you good to meet a nice girl.

Oh, well, all right, but first we've gotta get you dressed.

Say, we've gotta get him dressed. He's going to see his girl.

Now, now, wait a minute, now. Listen, I've gotta have my shirt!

Wait a minute. I... Listen, I'm old enough to dress myself!

No, you're not. Will you cut it out?

Say, listen, will you pl...

Will you... Hey, my green socks!

- Is Helen in? - Miss Helen is not at home, sir.

She's expecting us. Would you care to wait?

Yes, thank you.

Fine reception.

Roy, maybe she's forgotten.

Not Helen. She's not that sort.

Roy, I feel sick. I-I think I'd better go.

- Monte, will you sit down? - Oh, I've got an awful headache.

I think I'll go to the chemist and get something for it. Monte.

- Roy! - Helen!

Oh, terribly sorry. Mother's fault. Shopping.

I simply flew My, isn't it hot?

You shouldn't have hurried so. Oh, but I wanted to.

Roy, you've no right to look so cool. I'm broiling.

Feel.

Yes, you are, aren't you?

No, not one.

Well, you're so marvelous, I-I hardly dare.

Oh, silly.

Well, that's better.

Cigarette, Roy?

I thought your brother was coming. Went out with a headache.

Poor boy. It must be the heat.

Extry, extry! All about the war!

Well, they've done it. I never thought they would.

I still can't believe it. Well, it must be true. It's official.

Oh, shut up. I'm trying to think.

It's terrible.

Karl, you won't have to go, will you?

Me? Oh, Roy, I hope not.

Oh, they can't want me. I'm not a soldier.

What use would I be to them?

I couldn't... kill anyone.

They couldn't make me do that, could they, Roy?

Oh, I think it'll all be over in a couple of weeks.

I'm not so sure. I wouldn't worry about it.

Then suppose England comes in.

Why, Roy, that'd be horrible.

I never could do that. Why, I love England.

Oh, will you shut up?

Monte, Germany's declared war on France.

Oh, Roy, how do you spell "ecstatic"?

Special delivery letter for Karl Arnstedt.

What's the matter, Karl? Someone ill?

Karl.

May I ask the Prime Minister if he has any information he can give us today.

Our ambassador at Berlin received his passport at 7:00 last evening.

And since 11:00 last night,

a state of war has existed between Germany and ourselves.

Seven?

What size? A seven and a half if you please.

I- I'm afraid it's a bit small, sir.

Move along, there. Move along. You'll grow into it.

Present arms!

Come on there. Come on.

Present arms!
