Across The Pacific

Movie Across the Pacific
Year 1942
Rick Leland: When you're slapped, you're gonna take it and like it.
Rick Leland: [comparing his gun to Dr. Lorenz's] Mine's bigger than yours.
Rick Leland: I never saw anybody like you, you never have any clothes on.
Alberta Marlow: Well if anyone heard you complaining about it they would put you in a psychopathic ward.
Alberta Marlow: We were discussing Philippine economics when we were so rudely interrupted.
Dr. Lorenz: My own field! Miss Marlowe was kind enough to listen to me.
Rick Leland: They're going to be free in 1946, aren't they?
Dr. Lorenz: They are - provided America does not insist on fighting a war with Japan. It's my opinion that that contingency is going to keep the Philippines from being free.
Alberta Marlow: Won't Japan gobble them up?
Rick Leland: No offense, but Japan or Canada or anybody else can have the Philippines as far as I'm concerned. It's hot in Manila!
Dr. Lorenz: Might even be hotter before long.
Alberta Marlow: Hot enough to go around in shorts?
Rick Leland: Ah, there's a Canadian for you! Let them take their clothes off, and they're happy.
Alberta Marlow: [Talking about Japanese people in general] You are always so calm. You never show anything.
Capt. Higoto: We are told not to. It is our way of rife. We must not show too much sad-i-ness or too much joy. If you praise what we have, we say it is nus-sing. If you admire our sons, we must say thay are unworthy.
Rick Leland: It'll probably end up with Captain Higoto marrying us on the boat.
Alberta Marlow: Oh, no! I want a church wedding and a groom who's got more than two suits.
Rick Leland: Don't be an innocent bystander; they always get hurt.
Alberta Marlow: I'm not so obsessed with money as you seem to be. I can do without it.
Rick Leland: You stick around with me and you'll get plenty of practice.
Rick Leland: [to Lorenz as they both view U.S. planes overhead] Any of your friends in Tokyo have trouble committing hari-kiri, those boys'd be glad to help them out.
