China

Mr. Jones.

Now what did I have to take you up for?

Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Hey, have you seen Mr. Jones?

Your Mr. Jones has gone.

Where, who'd he go with?

A woman from the North,

the one with yellow hair.

Even at a time like this.

Hello, Johnny.

Hello.

What's that?

It's a baby.

What'd you think it was, Donald Duck?

Drunk?

No.

So tired, almost at once he fell asleep.

Three days and three nights we've been burning up the road

with him doing most of the driving.

Here, hold him.

Come on, he won't bite you.

Come on, give.

It's about right.

What's that for?

You'll be needing it.

All right.

Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Go away.

Come on, boss, wake up.

What's the matter Johnny, the house pinched?

Look, Mr. Jones, let's scram outta here.

What's that?

Bombs, Mr. Jones, bombs.

They're bombing the town, killing people,

blowing the daylights out of all creation.

The jets.

If you wanna make the coast, let's go,

I got the truck outside.

It is a good thing what John is saying.

Go while there's still a road left to drive on.

What's that?

A baby.

Since when?

No, just a friend of Johnny's.

I sort of found him.

Him, huh?

Yeah.

No, I mean,

holy smokes, Mr. Jones, I don't know yet.

Come on Johnny, let's show up.

Wanna come along?

No.

Things are getting pretty hot.

All the years I can remember,

I've been getting out of places because they were hot.

This time I think I'll stay.

Jones.

Mr. Jones.

Yeah.

Somebody here to see you.

Mr. Jones?

Mr. David Jones?

Yeah.

I present the commerce captain, Tao-Yuan-Kai,

Intelligence Department of Chinese Sichuan Army.

Captain Tao would like to see you.

Well now, look, Mr.

I got business in the Shanghai.

I got no time for visiting.

Captain Tao would like to see you.

Okay.

Want me to come too, Boss?

No, you stay with the truck.

- And Johnny. - Yeah.

Ditch that kid.

Everything in order.

Yes it is.

And I regret Mr. Jones, that you are an American citizen.

Because if you were one of my own people,

I would have to be shot for aiding the enemy.

I can't do that, however,

because even though the American people are not at war,

they are our friends.

Though sometime I think

it's a curious right and left-handed friendship.

For one hand, they give us food and medicines.

But with the other, they permit men like you

to sell oil to the enemy,

for the planes to kill our people and destroy our towns.

Mr. Jones, are you aware that the Chinese people

are at war with Japan?

Oh I'd say you're at war, that's your business.

Mine is selling oil.

If the Japs want it, it's still my business.

With the prices they're offering, it's good business.

Can you give me my passport, I got places to go.

Can you give me some more of that tripe rosseto?

That's all Mr. Jones,

all but trying to forget that I haven't ever met you.

An Intelligence Department.

Who does that guy think he is?

Captain.

Captain.

That's the trouble with those guys.

You give 'em a dime a dozen education,

teach 'em to eat ham and eggs

and look what happens.

They think they are somebody.

It's raining.

Come one, get off of here.

Bombers.

Hear 'em?

Look ahead.

What's that?

Baby, Mr. Jones.

Must've waked up.

Come on.

Atta-boy.

Atta-boy.

I though I told you to get rid of it.

You ever tried to give away a baby, Mr. Jones,

especially a Chinese baby?

I tried to but everybody seems to have plenty of 'em.

Haven't they fellow, huh?

You hungry.

Yeah.

I got a surprise for you, yeah, I got it.

What are you feeding it?

Sugar.

It won't hurt it none.

I mean give it the gripes or anything yeah.

Don't give him too much.

Oh, what are you asking me for?

Tough guy.

Oh, that's good, hey?

Good.

Better take it easy, Boss.

Nurse the baby, I'll do the driving.

Mr. Jones.

They'll get outta the way all right,

I know what I'm doing.

You all right kid?

Oh, don't beat your brains in.

You woulda killed somebody.

What do you want?

Get outta here.

Hey, they quit.

Sure, with your speed and my wit,

they didn't have a chance.

You're wrong, Johnny, somebody called them off.

What do we do now?

Better get in the truck before they come back.

Put out those lights.

You there,

you in the truck, turn off those lights.

Didn't you hear me?

Yeah.

Well turn off the lights.

Lin Wei.

Yes, Miss.

Now what?

You stay right here and wait for me 'til I get back.

And you wait too.

Who's the boss lady?

Very nice lady.

Yeah.

I got an idea, we're gonna wait.

Sure we are.

Let's get it out of the wet,

we can do that just as well in there.

All right, we can go now.

Lin Wei, you ride the front fender,

if you see any bomb craters or any other trouble,

signal me with this flashlight.

Yes, Miss.

Hey, I'm not driving this road in the dark.

Nobody asked you to.

The Chinese have a proverb,

"Rather than curse the darkness, use your eyes."

Lin Wei, all right?

Yes, Miss.

Move over please.

All right, I'll take a chance.

You're not taking any chance.

I know this road like the back of my hand.

I was born in that town back there.

Say, if you got your date book,

you can put be down with the Jones'.

David Llewellyn Jones.

Wait a minute, on second thought,

you better probably with the A's, on the front page.

Me too, I'm Johnny Sparrow.

Hello Johnny.

I'm Carolyn Grant.

Glad to you know you.

You know, the first thing we're going to do is buy a drink.

Yeah, if it hadn't been for you,

we'd still be under the truck.
