Jack McGurn : [after entering a local restaurant] So what are we going to order?
[grabs menu]
Jack McGurn : Can you read that?
Jack McGurn : Yeah. My Japanese is getting better every day.

Eddie : Do you have a history of labor union business, M-McGann, is it?
Jack McGurn : Yeah. McGann. No, no I don't. I work at the cannery. I'm a fish masher.
Eddie : You people caused quite a stir.
Jack McGurn : It was a legal demonstration, sir. Perfectly within the Constitution.
Eddie : Well, all that striking stuff is over now, mister. When Japs step on the beach, you think they'll take any notice of your banners? They'll stick a bayonet in your belly, grievance or no grievance. This is America, pal, so remember you're an American. We're at war now.
Jack McGurn : What are you talking about?
Eddie : Ain't you heard? The Japs just bombed Pearl Harbor.
