Heart o' mine,
Let us live, let us laugh, let us love.
When the clouds combine,
You bring a clue from above!
Mine to hold,
Until the stars cease to shine.
Heaven is love,
For your part of this heart of mine!

It's wonderful how a train wreck brought us together. Isn't it, Marie?
30:54

It's even more wonderful, Travis, that this war can't keep us apart.

Oh, listen to those soldiers!

I think Al has been imbibing in too much French patriotism.

Marie
Oh, Travis, I wish we were in Berlin tonight.
32:05
Travis
Oh, well, sweetheart, you're homesick, for some of your own music, aren't you?
32:13
Marie
It isn't the music, Travis. It's the possibility of being interned as a spy, or separated from you. That's what's worrying me.
32:28
Travis
Oh, now, don't you worry, honey. Why, you speak perfect English. And anyone would take you for an American girl. If necessary, why not take a good old American name? And who could guess you're a fraulein? Haha.

Now, what do you think he's trying to tell me?
33:09

He said to kiss me for France.
33:12

He did?

34:37

Travis? If you'll hurry, I'll serve breakfast in your room this morning.
34:44

Hey, that's a great idea, honey, if I can get this fellow, Al, up.
35:01
Travis
Well? Gonna sleep all day?
35:04
Al
No! I'll leave that to you!
35:08
Travis
Yeah?
35:08
Al
Yeah.
35:17
Travis
Say, Al, what's wrong with you, anyhow?
35:21
Al
Ain't nothing wrong. Just been doing a lot of heavy thinking lately, that's all.
35:27
Travis
Oh. I thought it was agreed when I brought you over here, if there was any heavy thinking to be done, I'd do it.
35:36
Al
Stop kidding! The whole world's on fire! And here we are, playing hide-and-go-seek with your father's dough, pretending you're studying art or something.
35:47
Travis
Oh, I know what's wrong with you. You're just lonesome for that taxicab stand in New York City.
35:54
Al
I told you what's wrong. It ain't decent, the way we're acting—playing Ring Around the Rosie in a cemetery.
36:04
Travis
Well, what do you want to do? Step in and win the war? Is that the big idea?
36:10
Al
It ain't a question of winning the war, Travis. Why, this war is more than just a fight. It's more like a funeral. And everybody ought to either be in the procession, or in the hearse.
36:22
Travis
Hahaha! That's good.
36:30
Travis
Here you are, my hero. Drink—for tomorrow, you may be vaccinated.
36:34
Travis
Hah, I'm kidding.
36:36
Al
I'm not drinking, thank you.
36:37
Travis
Well, little more for me.
36:43
Al
I may be goofy, but if you ask me, I think you're a funny sort of an American!
36:49
Travis
Don't crack that way, Al! Nobody, not even my pal, can get away with that!
36:58
Al
Listen here! A lot of fellows are coming three thousand miles to get in this scrap. What kind of guys are we? Are we scared?
37:08

Dramatic, pal!

Travis
You can't do this, Al. Listen, little fellow. You can't go without me. You haven't forgotten, we've promised to stick together?
38:17
Al
The only way we can stick together, Travis, is for you to go my way.
38:28
Travis
I know. I should go, Al. I want to go. But I can't. You haven't forgotten Marie—the girl I love? Don't you understand—the girl I'm going to marry is a German?
38:58
Travis
Keep quiet, Al. Here. Don't make me mourn you, Al.

41:51
"You can't leave me——you're my husband——you belong to me!"
41:59
"I love you——I'll always love you—but I've got to go!"
42:26
"Where to?"
42:30

The Feast of Gold in the City of Akkad, in the land of Ur of the Chaldees, when the mighty King drew tribute from many lands.
1:05:45
But King Nephilim had led his people from Jehovah, to worship the false god Jaghuth.
1:06:08
"Rich have been the harvests of field and hill. Wherefore, shall we not pay tribute to the mightiest of our gods, Jaghuth?"
1:06:31
"When the next cycle moon rises from out the Syrian hills, we shall sacrifice to Jaghuth the fairest virgin of our people."
1:07:01
From the fertile valley of the Tigris and the rock hills of Shinar..from the mountains of Lebanon to the sands of the Great Desert, they came, paying tribute.
1:07:35
Nor were the gods of war forgotten, who delighted in victims tortured.
1:07:50
Maidens who rebelled against Jaghuth's laws, were branded with the mark of slavery.
1:08:07
Those that dwelt in poverty were gorged that day by the King's bounty.
1:08:27
And in all the earth but one altar was raised to Jehovah, for Noah walked and talked with God.
1:08:51
Noah had three sons; Japheth, Ham and Shem, mighty men and blessed of God.
1:09:23
"Help us, brother."
1:09:51
The handmaid of Noah's household was Miriam..beloved of Japheth.
1:10:34
Drunken with the King's wine, his soldiers had forgotten the purpose of their quest...a virgin fit for sacrifice.
1:10:57
"Behold the maid who shall be Jaghuth's bride a moon hence."
1:12:33
"It is my command that thou shalt be sacrificed to the mighty god Jaghuth!"
1:12:55
In the household of Noah there was weeping and lamentation, but Japheth did not weep...
1:13:18
"Do this deed of evil, oh Nephilim, and neither thy buckler nor shield will save thee, nor thy hosts of bearded archers!"
1:14:02
"Drag him to the stone-mill, where those that blaspheme our mighty god are punished!"
1:14:29
The golgotha of Akkad. Stone on stone, crushing mountains of stone...and the souls of those that had blasphemed.
1:15:16
"It is the king's command that thou shalt be blinded and tramp this treadmill until death."
1:16:45
The voice of God had whispered unto Noah: "Fear not for thy handmaid, nor for thy son. On Tersgah's heights will I give thee a sign..."
1:18:33
And behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all flesh
1:18:59
Make thee an ark of gopher wood and thou shalt come into the ark, thou and thy sons and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee
1:19:34
And of every living thing of all flesh two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark
1:19:55
"Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven."
1:20:13
As God had commanded Noah, thus did he, even as God commanded.
1:21:07
"Many times has the Sabbath come and gone, yet God sends not back to us our brother and his betrothed——"
1:21:22
"Jehovah will not mock us. Trust thou in God and fear not."
1:21:35
Word had gone forth of Noah's folly..the Ark and the promised deluge.
1:22:19
"Shave the corners of thy beard, old man, to make nets to catch fish on the mountainside!"
1:22:33
"We come with the blessing of King Nephilim to destroy thy Ark—and thee!"
1:23:26
The crescent moon, from out the Syrian hills, had flung aloft its livid signal. The day of sacrifice had come.
1:24:34
"It is my command that the sacrifice shall now begin!"
1:25:59
From the four corners of the earth mighty tempests rose. God's wrath rode upon the winds.
1:26:58
"Repent of your sins, oh people! Jehovah may yet withhold His wrath!"
1:27:09
"Heed not the bearded fool! Our god Jaghuth speaks in this tempest—not Jehovah."
1:27:22
"Cast him to the dogs, lest he invoke Jaghuth to greater violence!"
1:27:50
"Release the soul of the virgin, oh my archers—pierce her heart with your arrows!"
1:28:13
"Why are my arrows unsped? Jaghuth grows mighty in his rage!"
1:28:53
"Hear me, oh thou mighty Jaghuth! Bring confusion to thine enemies!"
1:29:09
"Hold back the winds——shatter with thy thunderbolts the insolent Jehovah!"
1:30:04
"Now is the wrath of a just God smiting thee, oh Akkad!"
1:30:19
To the Ark they came..the Animal Kingdom..from the mountains and plains, from the rain-swept desert and the darkened sky, obedient to God's command.
1:32:10
The fleeing multitudes climbed the mountainsides, seeking the shelter of the Ark——the Ark that they had once called "Noah's Folly".
1:32:37
And then indeed were the fountains of the great deep loosened, and the clouds poured back again the sundering floods.
1:33:17
"The Lord God Almighty reigneth, and Thy name shall be called Wonderful!"
1:34:24
"Oh Lord, to whom darkness is as light, direct these sightless eyes of mine to Miriam."
1:35:18
God walked with Japheth..
1:35:46
"Call again on your great god Jaghuth—perhaps he sleepeth!"
1:36:09
"Japheth! Japheth!"
1:42:18
"That was the end of a world of lust and sin——God made His covenant and the rainbow appeared in the heavens."
1:42:39
"Above this deluge of blood, and the graves of ten million men, shall not the rainbow of a new covenant appear—the covenant of peace?"

Anywhere from Harlem to a Jersey city pier;"
When Pat would spy a pretty girl, he'd whisper in her ear,
"Oh, boy! Oh, joy! Where do we go from here?"

Heart o' mine,
Let us live, let us laugh, let us love.
When the clouds combine,
You bring a clue from above!
Mine to hold,
Until the stars cease to shine.
Heaven is love,
For your part of this heart of mine!
