"ANNOUNCER:" "CBS presents this program in color." "( theme song playing )" "Looks like the ruddy Krauts are on their way to a costume party." "The elite SS-- animals!" "Colonel Deutsch, I'm Colonel Klink." "This is indeed a great honor." "I know." "To have one of the truly great war heroes right here in Stalag 13 is a personal honor for me." "You know, I've heard so much about you, sir." "I cannot say the same about you." "What would they be doing here?" "Maybe they came to capture us again." "Very thorough, the Germans." "Sir, to what do I owe this great honor?" "A warning, Klink." "Tomorrow my regiment will be conducting training exercises nearby, and I want you to keep all your personnel out of the area." "Sir, I can assure you there will be no interference." "Schultz, notify the guards." "Jawohl, Herr Kommandant." "So, those are the pigs in your pigpen, huh?" "( chuckles ):" "Well, I suppose, if you want to call it that." "DEUTSCH:" "Tell me something." "Do the swine ever give you any trouble, eh?" "KLINK:" "Colonel Deutsch, in over 200 attempts, we have never had a successful escape from Stalag 13." "Uh-huh." "I never worry about prisoners." "I never take any." "You don't?" "I like my enemy only one way." "Dead." "Colonel!" "What are you... ( Deutsch laughing )" "Oh, Colonel, you seem to have dropped something." "My compliments, Colonel." "That is one of the grenades we will be using in our war games." "Tell me something, how did you know it was a blank?" "Easy." "If it were a live grenade, you would've been the first to run." "You see, both you and I know you're not a member of a superrace." "After our war games," "I shall teach you respect for the SS." "I doubt it." "KLINK:" "Medic!" "Medic!" "Get him off me!" "( Klink gasping )" "Sir, you did us proud out there." "KINCH:" "Yeah, you really told those smug supermen." "All right, hold it, let's give credit where credit's due." "It was a beautiful practical joke." "But we may have the last laugh." "If you have a nasty plan for them, count us in." "The war games they're having tomorrow." "I see casualties, lots of casualties." "Casualties in war games?" "Aw, a few get hurt, sir, but..." "I see a lot more than a few." "You want us to take on a whole SS regiment?" "No." "We let them take on each other." "Now, picture, if you will, the fascinating consequences if this dummy ammunition used in the war games is sprinkled with a goodly amount of the real McCoy." "Hey, that's a smashing idea!" "It sure is!" "When they start going boom-boom, they really go boom-boom!" "Sort of a do-it-yourself massacre." "Colonel Hogan, you're a genius, a diabolical genius." "In school, I was voted the Most Likely to Be a Troublemaker." "But, sir, I think it's a brilliant idea, but I do have one small question." "How do we pull it off?" "Right." "All right." "We're gonna heist some live ammunition from the camp arsenal, Check." "haul it to the SS ammo dump, make the switch, Check." "and be back before roll call." "Your check just bounced." "Whenever we have visiting brass," "Klink always tightens security and doubles the guard." "You know, Kinch, that's what I hate about you." "Every time I start rolling, you make sense." "They just doubled the guard." "We need a diversion." "What's going on here?" "LeBEAU:" "We were just playing ring-around-the-rosy." "What is ring-around-the-rosy?" "It's a code name, Schultz, for a secret allied operation." "No, no, no, no, no." "I don't want to hear anything." "I hear nothing!" "We had enough trouble today with those crazy SS and the hand grenade." "No!" "I'm here on, um, personal business." "Oh?" "What can we do for you, Schultz?" "I would like to buy a gift." "Well, you've come to the right place." "Newkirk, what do we got in stock?" "Well, uh, is this for a man or a lady?" "A man." "Ooh..." "Yeah, what about something nice in a watch?" "No." "He has a watch." "He's got a watch, eh?" "Hold on, hold on." "Ah." "Cigarette lighter." "Look at this." ""To H.G., from J.G."" ""To H.G., from J.G."" "What does it mean?" "Uh, to Hermann Goring, from Joseph Goebbels." "How did you get it?" "Well, it was a mad weekend I was spending at Berchtesgaden." "The wine..." "No, thank you." "I am not interested in a lighter." "How about a wallet, Schultz?" "No." "A fountain pen?" "No." "Tie clip?" "No." "Hey, Schultz, how would these suit you?" "You don't see bookends around as handsome as these." "Oh... ja, I like that." "How much?" "Well, they're five dollars, but, well, you could have them for $3.98." "I'll take it." "Here." "One, two, three, four." "You can keep the two cents as a tip." "You're all heart." "You want them gift-wrapped?" "No, thank you, I'll do it myself." "Oh, that will look nice on Commandant Klink's desk." "Oh, Schultz, Colonel Klink?" "Ja." "He has birthday today." "That's funny-- he didn't tell me." "Why should he tell you?" "( chuckles )" "A dear friend you are not." "You know, he's right." "A dear friend I'm not-- but I'm gonna be." "What do you mean, Colonel?" "Gentlemen, I think we have just found our diversion." "Make sure that goes right out, hmm?" "Jawohl, Herr Kommandant." "Oh, hi, Hilda." "HILDA:" "Guten Tag, Colonel." "Colonel Hogan?" "Starlight Mist?" "Ja, that's right." "What can I do for you, Colonel Hogan?" "You usually wear Fragrance of Paradise or Evening Passion." "I never thought you noticed." "Colonel Hogan!" "Just a minute, sir." "You know, I like Fragrance of Paradise and Evening Passion, but this one's the best yet." "It's a little bit strong, but it has a delicate, soft quality." "Don't you agree, Colonel Klink?" "Well, personally, I prefer Fragrance of Paradise." "You see, it's not quite so heavy and..." "Hogan, whatever kind of perfume my secretary wears is none of your concern." "Now, state your business!" "No business, sir." "Just dropped by to offer you congratulations." "Congratulations for what?" "I heard it was your birthday." "Yes, it is." "How many years has it been today, sir?" "Now, that's none of your business." "Let me guess." "I'd say 38 years." "( chuckles ):" "So, uh, you think I'm 38 years old, huh?" "Thirty-seven?" "Today I am 50 years old." "You're kidding!" "That is right." "Oh, I'd never guess it to look at you." "Oh, it doesn't surprise me that" "I'm such a youthful- looking man." "That is the way we Germans live." "A healthy mind and a healthy... body." "I, uh, I guess you have discovered the-the, uh, secret of eternal youth." "Thank you, Hogan." "Yeah, uh, the men and I were talking, sir, and, uh, we'd like to make sure that your birthday celebration is a memorable one." "Why would you want to do something for me, your most hated enemy?" "Hated enemy, true, but an enemy we've learned to respect for the fearsome man that you are." "Oh, that's very touching, Colonel Hogan, but, uh, I'm afraid there won't be a celebration." "I cannot afford to let down my vigilance even for one minute." "Now, uh..." "I may allow myself to have a quiet dinner with a few members of my staff, perhaps... a glass of wine, a birthday toast, but then, back to work we go." "There go our big plans." "Uh, wait, Hogan!" "What, uh..." ""big plans" did you have in mind, eh?" "Oh, we were going to put on a show, just for you." "A show?" "Yeah, yeah." "Oh, now, wait, wait." "Wait, Hogan." "You were going to put on a show just for me?" "As you said, you've got a camp to take care of so you can't let down your guard one minute." "Oh, wait, Hogan." "Wait." "I don't think I would be letting down my guard if I permitted this show." "No, your men would be right under my nose all night long." "What possible mischief could they cause?" "You're right, sir." "I never looked at it that way." "Very well, Hogan." "If you are so anxious to honor me, I, I think it would be ungracious of me not to accept." "The men would welcome the opportunity to please you, sir." "I would like to invite" "Colonel Deutsch here for the festivities." "Oh, he would never come." "I don't think he likes me very much." "That's hard to believe, sir." "You know..." "I bet, uh... he'd come if Hilda went with a personal invitation." "After all, she's wearing Starlight Mist." "Yes." "And he'd probably welcome the chance for an evening of relaxation." "Might even put in a good word for you at the High Command." "Hogan, that is a splendid idea." "This whole evening could become quite a diversion." "You took the words right out of my mouth." "All right, now, the main thing is to keep them entertained till the job is done." "We don't want our audience walking out on us." "I will personally hold them spellbound with my repertoire of songs, dances and snappy patter." "I can hardly wait." "The main thing is, keep them entertained till I get back." "Uh-oh." "Bad news, Colonel." "Sergeant Richter's in charge of the guard detail at the arsenal tonight." "Old Ironsides." "There goes our timetable." "We'll have to make sure there's a change in the guard." "Who do we get?" "Schultz." "Schultz." "Schultz." "Schultz." "Where did you get this?" "Oh, I found it over there lying on the ground." "We do not keep bullets lying on the ground." "I found it over there." "You did not!" "We are a very neat army." "You have any more?" "No, that was the only one over there." "( growling )" "There was nothing else there." "Newkirk..." "How did I know the blooming bullet could breed?" "Now, Colonel Hogan," "I hold you completely responsible for this." "Where did you get this ammunition?" "I warn you, we have ways to make you talk." "Sir, you've been seeing too many war movies." "Silence!" "Now, where did you get these bullets?" "( sighs )" "Oh, all right, he got them from the arsenal." "Arsenal?" "Our arsenal?" "I think it was yours, sir." "There was a German guard standing in front of it." "Newkirk, how'd you get past the guard?" "He was dozing, sir." "Schultz!" "Who's guarding the arsenal?" "Sergeant Richter." "Have him report to me immediately." "How dare he sleep on duty!" "HOGAN:" "He'll deny it, of course." "Colonel Hogan, just leave the handling of my men to me." "Your involvement in this little escapade is over, and, unfortunately for you, it has ended in failure." "Yeah, no thanks to old eagle-eye Schultz." "With him around, we can't get away with anything." "Schultz!" "Until further notice, you are assigned to the arsenal." "I'll miss your birthday party." "Dismissed." "Happy birthday." "I'll miss the birthday party and I'll miss the cake when I'm guarding..." "Colonel Hogan." "Causing such trouble on my birthday" "I don't think that's very nice." "You know, sometimes I just hate myself." "Achtung!" "And imagine, I was just going to have a simple dinner and these fellows have decided to do a whole complete show just for me." "Isn't that wonderful?" "I hope these seats are comfortable." "Yes?" "( applause and cheers )" "Hold it down." "Come on, pipe down." "Show's just about to begin."
