"All personnel clear the test area." "Bazooka teams are ready." "Bomb squad is ready." "Test vehicle is manned and ready." "Five, four, three, two, one." "Commence operation." "Well, gentlemen, thank you very much." "Boy!" "That was really an impressive demonstration, General." "Absolutely amazing." " Steve." " Yes, sir." "I wanted you to see for yourself... just how important Professor Moreno's formula really is." "The tires on that truck were made of rubber... treated with Moreno's secret Formula 407." "The land mine explosions, the bazooka shell, they're all direct hits..." " but not one sign of tire damage." " Exactly." "Moreno's formula not only makes rubber practically as strong as steel... it also makes it more durable than anything we've tested." "Travel orders are being cut for you right now." " Travel orders?" "For where?" " Buenos Aires." "Professor Moreno's a neutral, a citizen of Argentina... but he knows our cause is just and has offered his formula to us." "You'll proceed immediately, pick up the formula... and hand-deliver it back to Washington." " Yeoman Prince." " Yes, sir." "According to your service file, you speak Spanish." "Yes, sir, I do, fluently." "Good." "You will accompany Maj. Trevor and act as his official interpreter." "Yes, sir." "Why didn't I pay more attention in my high school Spanish class?" "This isn't going to be a pleasure cruise." "Yes, sir." "Officially, Argentina's a neutral country." "But there are a great many people there who are very pro-German." "I'll feel a lot better when you're both back safely with that formula." " The consistency holds." " For the hundredth time." "With a formula of this importance, you can't be too sure." "But we are sure." "It's a marvelous formula." "We tested it and tested it, and we tested it again." "There is not a doubt in the world." "It will do everything you dreamed it would." "Yes, I know you're right." "But I've worked so hard for so many years." "I can't believe it's developed exactly as I calculated it would." "If it weren't for this horrible war... you could publish a paper on your formula... and win all the scientific awards there are to win." "Awards are not important, not while half the world is fighting to survive." "If my formula can help stop the killing... then all my work will have been worth it." "We're Argentineans." "We're supposed to be neutral." "Where Nazis are concerned, how can one be neutral?" "Anyway, the American agents will be here soon." "They'll take the formula to Washington." "And then Lydia and I will go on vacation." "And if you wish, you're more than welcome to join us." "A vacation." "That sounds very nice." "...and inasmuch as our direct source of raw rubber has been cut off... from here and here... you can well imagine how important this Professor Moreno's formula..." " has become to our war effort." " Yes, sir." "We must keep it out of the Americans' hands at all costs, do you understand?" "Yes, sir." "Not only out of their hands, but you, Major... must bring it back here to help bring about our own victory." "Nothing will go wrong, sir." "Our tanks will roll into Paris, London, and New York... on treads made of the Professor's Formula 407." "When you return to Berlin, after what I know will be a most successful mission..." "I'll personally see to it that you're promoted to general staff rank." "Thank you very much, sir." "I will not fail." " Hi, Diana." " Hi." "Finished packing yet?" "Yes." "And as soon as I finish with these papers..." "Maj. Trevor and I will be on our way to the airport." "Do you have any idea how much I envy you?" "You and Steve alone... under an incredibly huge South American moon." "That's scientifically impossible." "The moon is the same size in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres." " Diana, sometimes I don't understand you." " Why?" "I'm talking about hot-blooded gauchos... sizzling romance, exciting adventure." "You're talking as if you're going around the corner to the grocery store." "Well, this is an assignment, you know, and I have to be on duty." "I give up, Diana." "You're hopeless." "...and even though Argentina's supposed to be neutral... it's still a pretty hot spot." "Nazi agents?" "Agents, saboteurs, provocateurs, you name it." "It seems as if there are more accents here than in Berlin." "They all have Swiss passports... and all seem to work for an import-export company in Geneva." " How did you know?" " Lucky guess." "With all the pro-German sentiment here... we're lucky to have a friend in Professor Moreno." "You don't have to worry about that." "Moreno's one of the great men of this or any other time." "He won't let anyone but us have that formula." "Thank God for that." "It's a shame about all this." " Buenos Aires is such a lovely city." " Yes, I can see." "I hope I get to see everything." "I promised a friend I was gonna tell her all about it." "The embassy is outside of town." "It's a lovely drive." "You'll see everything." "Thank you, sir." "Americans!" "You can bet if they were Nazi agents, they would arrive on time." "Not in Buenos Aires." "Anyone would be late." "Be patient, Hans." "It won't be much longer." "I never could stand waiting like this." "Hans, patience." "You're not in Munich beer cellars any longer." "You just can't break heads like you used to." "When we finish here... we'll let it be known in town that the Argentine peasants... rose in fury against the hated Americans... in a spontaneous demonstration." "The American agents will be taken care of." "There'll be an exchange of letters between foreign agencies." "And that will be an end of it." "Here they come!" "All right." "Out!" "Leave the girl." "It's Trevor and the ambassador we want." "All right." "Out!" " Don't worry." "Take care of the driver." " Come on." "Move!" "Move along!" "Are you okay?" "Come on." "Let's get out of here!" "Wonder Woman!" "What are you doing in Buenos Aires?" "I came to help." "Help?" "Young lady, you were like the United States Cavalry." "Cavalry?" "Yes, arriving in the nick of time like that." "Didn't you ever go to the Saturday matinees when you were a kid?" "You didn't?" "Then it's a date." "Someday I'll take you to the movies... and show you how the cavalry always arrives in the nick of time." " Are you all right, Mr. Ambassador?" " Yeah, I'm fine, thanks to this young lady." "If I hadn't seen that with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." "I still don't believe it." "I'll bet they don't, either." "Thanks again." "We would have been in real trouble... if you hadn't come along when you did." " Yeoman Prince and the driver." " They're all right." "The driver was just stunned... and your very capable assistant is taking care of him." "Goodbye." " Wonder Woman, wait." " Yes?" "We're going to a party at Professor Moreno's." "Why don't you come along?" "Are you expecting more trouble?" "As a matter of fact, we're not." "Quite the contrary." "We expect it to be a very enjoyable evening." "Perhaps." "We'll see." "I've never been in Buenos Aires before... and there are so many things I'd like to see." "Goodbye, Steve." "It's lovely." "Ambassador McCauley, how nice of you to come." "It's truly a pleasure to be here." "Allow me to present Major Steve Trevor." " Maj. Trevor." " How do you do?" "Yeoman Diana Prince." "Miss Prince." "It's really my fault that we're late." "You see, I wanted to stop by the embassy first to change clothes." "May I say it was worth every minute." "You look lovely, Miss Prince." "The days seemed like months... waiting for you to come and take my formula safely to Washington." "Tomorrow you shall have it... and all the supporting research journals... and my long waiting period will be over." "Now, enough business." "I'd like you to meet my family." "Come." "Yeoman Prince, Maj. Trevor." "You know Ambassador McCauley." "Maria." "My pride and joy, the apple of my eye, my daughter, Lydia." "Papa." "And my assistant, Maria." " It's so nice to meet you." " It's a pleasure." "There would be no great formula if it were not for my Maria here." "She's not only my assistant, my researcher, but she's my..." " how shall I say it?" " Your right hand?" "Yes." "My right hand." "But I'll be losing her soon, isn't that so?" "Professor." "And there he is, the man who's gonna take her away from me:" "Her fiancé." "Your wine is really very delicious, Mr. Moreno." "Thank you, Mr. Ambassador." "When this terrible war is over... and more normal lines of distribution are open... then the world will get to know how wonderful our Argentinean wines are." "It really is excellent wine, Professor." "Perhaps when there's peace in the world again... my firm can make some exporting arrangements with you." "I'd be delighted, Karl." "I thought the European wines were wonderful." "Wouldn't that be like..." "Like carrying coals to Newcastle." "That would be a tough sale, wouldn't it, Mr. Keller?" "We Swiss are a stubborn breed." "Challenges urge us on to greater heights." "In business?" "In everything, Mr. Trevor." "Shall we go into the sitting room... where coffee, brandy, and, hopefully, good conversation awaits us?" " Thank you very much for the dinner." " It was excellent." " Diana." " Yes?" " My one true weakness." " What?" "American girls." "You are so smart, so healthy." "And you always have such a good figure." "It's true, the legs are always good." "The legs?" "Do you know, Diana... if you would only take those terrible glasses off... you'd be a most attractive lady." "I'm afraid a very near-sighted one, as well." "I'm so very glad you have this business with my father, Maj. Trevor." " Please, call me Steve." " Steve." " Otherwise, we might never have met." " Yes, I was just thinking the same thing." "But then again, perhaps we were fated to meet." " Do you believe in fate, Steve?" " Sometimes." " Now?" " Positively." "Good, that makes me very happy." "Our Lydia seems to be quite taken with the American." "Yes, Lydia's very young, and he's quite attractive." "It's a new game to her." "She does play it very well." "The American could very well be... in a great deal more danger with her than with us." "Please, Karl, you said no one would get hurt." "Of course no one will be hurt." "But your Major Steve Trevor is one of the Americans' great war heroes." "If he should try to stop us..." "Karl, you promised." "I will try my very best to see that no one is hurt." "I gave you my word as an officer on that." "Besides... the formula is the only really important thing." "It will help us win the war that much sooner and put an end to all the suffering." "That's not such a bad goal, is it?" "Why don't you join the others in the living room?" "I'm going to take a walk and get a little fresh air." "I'll join you in a little while." "Major Keller." "Sorry, sir." "We didn't realize it was you." "Thank you." "Very good." "I'm delighted to see you're so alert." "Your orders are to see no one leaves and you're doing that." " Are all your men in position?" " Yes, sir." "Good." " All the estate exits are covered." " Very good." "We've had a stroke of good luck." "Not only are we going to snatch the formula... right out from under the Americans' noses... but they've sent one of their most famous war heroes here to pick it up." "Major Steve Trevor." "We'll take him back with us." "But, Major, what of Wonder Woman?" "I know what you said, it was all in your report." "But really..." "But it was true, Major." "She threw our men around as if they were pebbles." "I would have to see this Wonder Woman for myself." "She was successful last time... because she took you by surprise." "You will be ready for her next time, won't you?" "Yes, sir." "Then let me hear no more of any super-powerful woman... who defeats Nazi soldiers." "Keep your men alert and wait for my signal." "What is it, Maria?" "Nothing, I was just thinking." "No more of that, we've done enough thinking for one day." "And first-rate thinking, too." "My reports from Washington are that that formula of yours is extraordinary." "My only wish is your government puts it to good use... and ends this terrible war as quickly as possible." "You can count on it." "Please, Mr. Antonio, you'll really have to stop saying things like that." "How can I?" "Behind those awful glasses and that severe hairstyle... there's an exciting, vibrant, beautiful woman." "I'm sure of it." "But it's true and I must say it." "What a lovely night." "A bright moon, all those stars." " It would be a shame to waste it." " We're not going to." "Come on, Steve, I will show you why Argentine nights like this are so famous." " Famous?" "For what?" " That's what I'm going to show you." "Please, Mr. Antonio, I do think you are getting the wrong idea." "But how can romance ever be the wrong idea?" "When there's only one person with it on their mind." "I believe you have a phrase here in Argentina:" "It takes two to tango." "Diana, my dear." "Mr. Antonio, I'm afraid I must warn you... the W.A.V.E. Training manual is quite explicit on its instructions... on the handling of unwarranted attentions." "But what do instruction manuals know?" "I'll bet there's not one chapter on Argentine gentlemen." "If you keep this up, there's going to be one." "Your friend Antonio's really rushing Yeoman Prince." "She's an attractive woman... and South American men are trapped by the "romantic lover" image... they feel they must forever uphold." "But beware, it's we South American women who are really dangerous." "How dangerous?" "You're beautiful." "I knew the romance of the Argentine nights would finally get to you." "May I have a glass of champagne, please?" "Yes, of course." "I'll be right back." "Thank you very much." " Good morning, Professor." " Good morning." " Have you been here all night?" " Yes." "I'm sorry I left the party so early." "I just wanted to recheck everything before turning it over to the Americans." " Did you see everyone off all right?" " Yes." "Yeoman Prince left early by herself." "Anything to get rid of Antonio." "He was furious." "He left in a huff right afterwards." "The ambassador left on his own, too." "And Maj. Trevor was with Lydia in the gardens." "They make a wonderful couple, don't they?" "Yes, they do." "But still, alone... so late in the garden on their first date." "They should've been chaperoned." "Professor." "It's 1942." "There is nothing wrong with a pretty young lady like Lydia... to share the moonlight in the garden with a very handsome man." "Until all hours of the night?" "I'll have to talk with her when she gets up." "Hello." "It's hardly a good morning." "Are you all right?" "I think so." "They must have used chloroform on me." "It smells terrible." "I think I'm all right." "We're in a wine cellar." "Don't try yelling for help." "I've done that." "These walls must be four feet thick." "It's obvious the Nazis are after Formula 407." " Can you stand up?" " I can try." " You sure you're okay?" " I'll be fine in a moment." "Whatever it was they gave you sure packs a wallop." "A wallop?" "It's just an expression." "The main thing is you're all right." " There we go." " Incredible." "Maybe we can trick the guards." "If I can just tip this over." "Get their attention." "Wonder Woman." "Come on." "Hurry up!" "But señor Keller, I don't understand." "It's not señor, it's Major Keller... on special assignment with the S.S." "So this is your nice Swiss fiancé?" "This Nazi?" "There is no need to be concerned, Professor." "I will guarantee the safety of you and your family." "And the Americans?" "They are of no consequence." "I am only concerned with the formula." "No, I cannot give it to you." "Please, Professor, it would be better if you do." "How could anything be better with you people out to destroy the world?" "It is unfortunate you feel that way." "Not only must we have the real formula... but you must construct a false formula to send to Washington." "That way the Americans will manufacture defective, inferior rubber for months... before they realize what's happened." "And with that defective equipment doing battle with ours... the odds will be so much in our favor... that I really will have earned my promotion, won't I?" "There's only one thing wrong with your plan." "You can never get me to do anything for you." "Never say never, Professor." "I said never." "Even if it means never seeing your daughter, Lydia, again?" "Lydia?" " What have you done with her?" " We have her prisoner." "She is quite safe." "For now." "But you must cooperate to keep her that way." "You're lying." "She's sleeping upstairs in her room." "I'm afraid not." "She went for a walk after dinner with the American." "And that's the last time you saw her." "Isn't that right?" "Their moonlit stroll was... shall we say "interrupted. "" "The American is now tied up in your basement... and Lydia is our guest somewhere." "You said no one would be hurt!" "And you believed him, this Nazi!" "You have exactly one hour... to see that the real formula is delivered to me." "I wonder what happened to Yeoman Prince and Ambassador McCauley." "I'm sure they're probably very safely back at the embassy." "Must have left last night thinking I was still out sharing the moonlight with Lydia." "Lydia!" "Why didn't they have her tied up with us?" "Steve, she's much too valuable to them." "I'm sure they've got her in a very special hiding place." "Right." "That's how they'll put pressure on Professor Moreno." "Maria..." "Please, don't cry." "Come sit down." "It's all my fault." "I've made such a mess of things." "You believed a man who lied to you." "Women have been making that mistake for centuries." "But now, because of me, we might never see Lydia again." "We will see her again." "You can't give Karl the formula." "I thought of him as a decent man... only interested in ending the war as quickly as possible." "Now..." "I know him for what he really is." "Another murderer." "Please, Professor, you can't give them the formula... and help them win." "I know I can't." "But I can't stand by and watch them kill Lydia, either." "Now, please, leave me to my work." "Go and rest." "Go on." "I will do whatever I have to do." "Professor Moreno." " Maj. Trevor, you're all right." " Yes, I'm okay." "And this must be the famous Wonder Woman." "You flatter me, Professor." "The best friend any of us will ever have." "But they said they were holding you prisoner." "They were." "Wonder Woman helped me escape." "They said they were holding Lydia prisoner, too." "Where's Lydia?" "I'm sorry, we don't know." "But don't worry, we'll find her." "If they lied about keeping you prisoner... they must have lied about keeping Lydia prisoner." "No, they had me tied up and neatly locked away, that's for sure." "They jumped us last night when Lydia and I were taking a walk." "We've looked all through the house for her." "We've had to be very careful because they've got guards everywhere." "We're sure they're not holding her here." "Yes, but where?" "Wherever it is, she's probably very secure." "They're using her to pressure you for the formula." "I know, Keller told us that." " Keller?" "He's behind this?" " Yes." "Yes, I'm afraid so." "Professor... you aren't going to give them the formula, are you?" "I have no choice." "I know what it will mean to the world for the Nazis to win this war." "But I'm not strong enough to stand by and watch my daughter, my child, in danger." "Professor Moreno..." "I know how you must feel, but you can't give them that formula." "Please, give us some time, we'll find Lydia for you." "No, I cannot take a chance on my daughter's life." "Professor, trust us." "I promise, we'll get her back safely for you." "Who are you?" "A friend." "Whose friend?" "Yours, I hope." " What do you want?" " To help." "We must find Lydia." "You're a stranger, I've never seen you before." "Why do you care what happens to any of us?" "Why shouldn't I care?" "You're good people." "All of you." "It is all done, sir." "The girl is in the cabin, tied and bound." "We have communicated with U-boat 275... and they will rendezvous as ordered at 1400 hours." "Good. 1400 hours will give us plenty of time." "Maria, I know you made a mistake." "And I can understand how that could happen." "I saw the way you looked at Keller." "Saw?" "When?" "That doesn't really matter." "I know you loved him very much." "And he used that love to make you betray the Professor and Lydia." "I know how you must feel." "No, you can't know." "I do understand." "That's why you must help us find her." "If only I could." "Karl never told me the truth." "Not about Lydia, not about anything." "I don't know where they're holding Lydia." "I don't know!" "The Professor will give us the real formula... deliver the false one to the Americans... and we will be on our way back to Berlin as heroes." "And the girl?" "It will be your duty, Dietrich, to take care of her." "Keller's down there with his men." "Yes, it's time." "They've come for the formula and the supporting research journals." "And will you give it to them?" "I still don't know." "I don't want them to have it any more than you do... it's my daughter that they're holding." "Let's go." "Time's up." "You're gonna have to make a decision." "All right." "Maj. Trevor, I'll do whatever you think is best." "Good." " Do you have a phony formula ready?" " Yes." "All right." "The first thing I want you to do is pass it off as the real thing." "When they leave with it..." "I'll follow them and make sure that Lydia is safely released." "All right." "You, come with me." "Schmidt, guard the door." "Your hour is up, Professor." "Yes, I'm just finished." "Here's the formula and the research journal." "It's very foolish of you to try and trick me this way, Professor." "Trick you?" "I don't know what you mean." "This is not the real formula." "Why do you suppose the high command singled me out for this mission?" "Before the war, I was a research assistant working on a formula similar to yours." "We never achieved the success you have." "But I'm still experienced enough to know an unworkable formula... for what it is when I see it." "I want the real formula, Professor... and I want it right now." "But I assure..." "And I mean right now." "Thank you, Professor." "You've performed a great deed for the Third Reich and we thank you for it." "You will release my Lydia?" "Lock the old man up." "Both the formula and a captured American war hero." "Quite a coup." "Let me see what's happening." "Cover the back." "We must stop them." "No, it's better if I follow them." "Stay here and look after Professor Moreno." "Perhaps it would be better if there were no witnesses left alive... in neutral Argentina." "Yes, sir." "I understand." " Join us at the beach." " Yes, sir." "You there, stop!" "Where are they taking Maj. Trevor?" "And where are they holding Lydia Moreno?" "No." "Tell me, where is Maj. Trevor?" "A rendezvous on the beach with a U-boat, 1400 hours." "And Lydia?" "An old shack, on a cliff above the beach." "Take care of the Professor." "He can't harm you now." "All right, let's get him to the beach." "Come on." "Out." "Come on, move!" "All right, this is far enough." "Our transportation is waiting." "Take care of the girl." " Are you all right?" " Yes, thank you." " You're sure you're all right?" " Yes." "Okay." "Now don't worry." "Stay here." "I'll be right back." "It's Wonder Woman." "Get her." "Hi, what took you so long?" "Steve." "Diana, the postcard made it sound so exciting." "And a handsome, romantic South American... and all that moonlight, and walking..." "And don't forget a half a dozen Nazis and a squad of enemy frogmen." "Come on, Steve." "Buenos Aires is still a very romantic place." "In fact, I'd like to go back there sometime... when there's time to enjoy it." "And with a special someone... just like in a movie." "If that special someone happens to be Antonio Cruz..." "I wouldn't bet on him waiting for anyone." "No, he wasn't the one I had in mind." "But, maybe Lydia will still be waiting for you." "Lydia?" "Private Candy... please tell General Blankenship I've just come back from Ordnance." "And the first heavy equipment using the Professor's formula... will come off the production line within a week." "Yes, sir, I'll tell him right away." "Later." "If it wasn't for Wonder Woman... that formula would be in the hands of the enemy by now." "I wonder how she always knows when we need her the most." "Well, it could be feminine intuition."
