"Knock it off!" "Knock it off!" "Keep saying you're innocent!" "Don't let them see you're afraid!" "It will be all right, son." "I didn't want to do it, sir." "I didn't mean it." "I'm sorry!" "Sir?" "Won't happen again." "I wanted...." ""Private Arthur James Gardner you've been found guilty as charged of the crime of murder." "Your case has been appealed 3 times." "It has been reviewed 3 times." "The verdict of each court martial has been the same." "Guilty, as charged."" "Anything to say before sentence is carried out?" "I didn't mean it." "I'm sorry!" "I didn't mean to." "I'm sorry." "Open it up." "Enjoy the show, Major?" "I want to see Major Armbruster." "I know where it is." "John!" "Good to see you!" "Don't give me that!" "We had dinner last night, remember?" "Be nice." "Take it easy." "This time it's serious." "You've got to cooperate." "Let's go." "Colonel." "The General is waiting, Major." "Major Reisman, sir." "Sit down, gentlemen." "Sit down, Major." "Well, Major, what did you think of the hanging?" "Looked very efficient." "Then again, I'm not an expert." "I meant, how did you personally feel about it?" "It wasn't the nicest way to spend an evening." "But it wasn't staged for your entertainment." "I hope that Private Gardner was aware of that." "Private who?" "Private Gardner." "He was the object of the exercise." "There happens to have been a reason." "I've got your service record here." "A lot of fireworks." "A lot of transfers." "One tough scrape after another." "Very short on discipline." "Very short on discipline." "I hear you did a pretty good job in Italy." "Then loused it up by exceeding your orders and that isn't the first time." "I didn't write the reports." "Just what is that supposed to mean?" "It means that I don't necessarily agree with what's in them." "Maybe you'd like to write your own?" "No, thank you, sir." "I'm not very interested in embroidery, only in results." "You hold it right there." "This war was not started for your private gratification." "And you can be damned sure this army isn't run for your personal convenience!" "You've been waiting for a transfer for over 2 months now." "With a record like yours, you could go on waiting forever." "However I get orders too." "And right now I have some that sound as if they were made for somebody like you." "Personally, I don't go for this behind-the-lines nonsense." "I think a soldier's job is to wear his uniform and kill the enemy." "But that's another matter." "I'm going to ask General Denton to read these orders just as they came to us." "After that, if you have any questions, you can ask them." "Understand?" ""Project Amnesty." "Select 12 General Prisoners sentenced to death or to long imprisonment terms for murder, rape or other violent crimes." "Train these prisoners in the business of behind-the-lines operations in a brief, unspecified time." "Then deliver them secretly into the European mainland and prior to the invasion, attack and destroy the target specified overleaf."" "That's all?" "That's all." "What about "the target specified overleaf"?" "Doesn't concern you now." "What do you say, Major?" "It confirms a suspicion I've had for some time now, sir." "Think we might share that suspicion?" "I think you should." "Since we are over here to try to win the war it shouldn't be advertised that someone we work for is a raving lunatic." "That's enough, Major!" "You are here to be briefed on an operation." "You have permission to ask questions about that operation." "You do not have permission to make personal comments of any kind concerning the officers responsible for its conception." "Now is that clear?" "So either ask relevant questions or shut up." "Is it relevant to ask why I'm being offered this mission?" "It's not, as you say, "being offered."" "I'm volunteering." "Exactly, Major." "I'm glad you look at these things so realistically." "I don't want to appear unduly cautious but if my survival will depend upon the performance of 12 deadheads it might help to know what I have to train them for." "That's a very good question, Major." "Armbruster, let's have that basic outline." "Yes, sir." ""The Germans are using a large chateau near Rennes in Brittany as a rest center and a conference place for General Staff Officers."" "The target has no real military value in itself." "But with these conferences and the like going on all the time every day there's a considerable number of important general officers in residence usually with the benefit of female companionship." ""Eliminating a sufficient number of senior officers would disrupt their chain of command."" "So the idea is simply that our men are dropped by parachute." "They enter the chateau, and they kill as many senior officers as possible." "Naturally, the place is fortified and heavily guarded." "Naturally." "What's the deal with the men?" "None whatsoever." "Let's have no misunderstanding about that." "It's exactly what it says." "An amnesty." "A temporary postponement." "Nothing more." "You take it or leave it on that basis." "Like you say, sir, let's not have any misunderstanding." "I don't like it and I think it stinks." "Enough of your insolence!" "It's not a question of insolence, but of practicality." "I'm the guy that has to sell this idea to 12 happy, smiling faces, right?" "They have an alternative way to go." "That's no way for anybody to go." "The hell you say!" "I know people who should go exactly that way." "But that's beside the point." "Come on, Major, what's your basic objection?" "These men are incapable of taking any discipline or authority much less, intensive training." "If there isn't a possibility for a sentence remission they have absolutely no reason to cooperate, right?" "You've got a point." "You've got a point, Major." "But I don't have the power to reverse the findings of a general court martial." "You do have the power to commute such a sentence." "Excuse me, General." "You do have authority under the Visiting Forces Act to make such a ruling." "Visiting Forces Act?" "All right, Major." "You've got a deal." "Let's say that if any of these men really distinguish themselves we will give serious consideration to commuting their sentences." "That's no deal." "Who's to say whether they really distinguish themselves or not?" "You can leave that decision to me." "But remember, the other alternative will apply with equal force." "Any breach of security any failure of discipline, and those prisoners go back where they came from." "Understood?" "Good." "Anything more, gentlemen?" "Yes, sir." "Colonel Breed in the waiting room, I wondered if he's connected with this." "What if he is?" "I'd be very unhappy, sir." "Colonel Breed is your superior officer!" "And you will behave accordingly." "At all times." "Is that clear?" "Yes, sir." "It so happens that Colonel Breed is not concerned with this operation." "He is taking over the Parachute School where part of the training will be." "And I don't want to hear any complaints." "From either of you." "You've got a job to do, mister, so move it." "Yes, sir." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Major Reisman is heading toward a court martial of his own." "He's the most ill-mannered, ill-disciplined officer that's ever been my displeasure to meet." "You think so, Denton?" "You may be right." "But he's sure right about one thing." "Somebody up there must be a raving lunatic." "Let's get Colonel Breed in here." "Open!" "All right, you men, this is an exercise period." "So exercise!" "Major Reisman, Sergeant Bowren, sir." "Have the prisoners fall in." "Prisoners!" "Fall in!" "Franko, get in!" "Come on, move!" "Hey, you!" "Move, I said." "Franko, V.R." "Death by hanging." "Vladek, M." "30 years' hard labor." "Jefferson, R.T." "Death by hanging." "Pinkley, V.L." "30 years' imprisonment." "Gilpin, S." "30 years' hard labor." "Posey, S." "Death by hanging." "Wladislaw, T." "Death by hanging." "Sawyer, S.K." "20 years' hard labor." "Lever, R." "20 years' imprisonment." "Bravos, T.R." "20 years' hard labor." "Jiminez, P." "20 years' hard labor." "Maggot, A.J." "Death by hanging." "Have them fall in according to height, right to left." "According to height, forward." "Come on, you jokers!" "Get in there." "Fall in line." "Come on, move!" "Straighten up your jacket there!" "Have them count off." "Count off!" "One." "Eleven!" "Twelve." "Let's see what they can do with a little close order." "Squad right face!" "Forward march!" "Squad halt!" "About face!" "Forward march!" "Squad halt!" "Right face!" "At ease!" "What did I say?" "Or maybe you don't understand English!" "What's the matter, Eleven?" "I got a pain." "Where does it hurt?" "I'll tell you." "It's...." "I wish you would." "And do it correctly, please." "I don't have to say, sir, to you or anyone else." "And I don't have to march." "I know the rules." "Why don't you have to march?" "Because condemned men don't have to drill." "And there's nothing you can do about it, mister." "What's your name, son?" "Eleven." "His name is Franko, sir." "Come over here a minute." "Come on." "Look, little bastard, you march or I'll beat your brains out." "Understand?" "What'd you see, sergeant?" "I saw the Major attacked by the prisoner and forced to defend himself." "Have the prisoners take him to his cell." "I'll get his feet." "Now let's see what they can do with a little close order." "Yes, sir." "Squad attention!" "Right face!" "Forward march!" "Halt!" "About-face!" "Forward march!" "General prisoner Franko, Victor, sir." "So how's the jaw?" "If you're going to act tough, you should learn how to take care of yourself." "You really should." "You're worried about my jaw?" "Franko's pain bothers the Major?" "You were a big man with the syndicate back in Chicago?" "You've seen my record?" "I've seen it, so let's knock it off." "The first thing that happens when you hit London you get involved in a penny-ante stickup." "You start blasting and you kill some old guy." "And come away with what?" "What did you have when they picked you up?" "What do you mean, "what did I have"?" "Come on, big shot, don't be modest." "How much money did you have?" "I had enough!" "Two pounds and ten shilling." "That's almost 10 dollars!" "And you are going to get hung for a lousy 10 bucks." "What's that to you?" "Nothing." "Why don't you get off my back?" "You didn't come to visit me." "What do you want?" "I don't care if they hang you for $10 or 10 cents." "It makes no difference to me." "It just so happens that, temporarily, I got a little pull around here." "And I might be able to get you off the hook, if I wanted to." "Are you a general?" "You're not a general." "And only a general can grant my reprieve." "Look, stupid." "I'm making you a straight proposition." "All I want is a straight yes or no." "You talk." "I'll listen." "Okay." "You can sweat out the 2 days you have before the hanging or you can join an outfit that I'm putting together." "If you do that, I'll have you out of here in less than 24 hours." "You'll be worked to death and there's not a beating you won't take." "Then when I'm satisfied with you you'll go where the Army tells you." "Chances are you'll get killed anyway." "You don't know Victor Franko." "Guard." "What's the deal?" "What's the deal if I stay alive?" "You might get off the hook." "Count me in." "But you foul up once, anywhere along the line, just once and you'll be right back here at the end of a rope." "Wait a minute." "What's the matter with you?" "You think I want to die?" "If you do, then you don't know Victor Franko." "How come you speak German?" "My old man was a coalminer in Silesia." "If he didn't speak German, he didn't dig coal, he didn't eat." "That was the language he spoke when he came to the States." "Pretty tough job in those days, mining." "It still is." "I don't like officers." "Not any of them." "I never have." "But you were one yourself." "Yeah, three lousy days." "Somebody thought you'd make a good officer." "They made a big mistake." "You claimed that he was going over the hill." "What the hell are you talking about, "claimed"?" "He was going over the hill!" "My outfit was pinned down by the most murderous crossfire!" "Half of them bleeding to death." "This lover took off like a jackrabbit with the medical supplies on his back." "Only way to stop him was to shoot him!" "Anyhow, he had it coming." "But you only made one mistake there." "Guard!" "You let somebody see you do it." "General prisoner, Maggot, A.J." ""Maggot, A.J."" ""Death by hanging."" "Hey, Midnight!" "Be a good boy, and maybe I'll let you eat with the white folks tomorrow." "Maggot, I see you've got a sense of humor." "The all-American hero laughing in the face of death." "They're not going to hang me, Major." "I never raped that evil slut or any other creature!" "The Lord gave me that woman and told me to chastise her." "And then He told you to beat her to death, huh?" "I only do what I'm called on to do." "I was in a state of grace." "And that woman, she tried to soil my spirit." "I'm sure you were, Maggot." "But it seems to me I remember a quotation that goes like "Vengeance is mine...."" ""Vengeance is mine." "I will repay, sayeth the Lord."" "Paul to the Romans." "Chapter 12." "Exactly." "Doesn't that mean that we leave the punishment to His capable hands?" "That's right, Major." "That's exactly what it means." "But it doesn't restrict Him to the kind of tools He would use, now does it?" "And like I told you, Major I only do what I'm called on to do." "I don't think you're going to hang after all." "I think a man like you is destined for higher things." "Guard!" "Besides us Southern boys have to stick together, now don't we?" "I sure didn't mean to kill that fellow." "But you do like I say and maybe they won't hang you." "You fixing to kill me some other way?" "It might not come to that." "I reckon the folks would be a sight happier if I died like a soldier." "Can't say I would." "Who does this hotshot major think he is?" "Making us play wet nurses to a bunch of scum." "Corporal Morgan you can't find something to do, I'll find something for you." "Now, move it." "Don't sweet-talk me, whitey." "You know why I'm here." "Or maybe you think I should have let those cracker bastards go right ahead and castrate me?" "Seeing what those guys were trying to do to you, I'd say that you had considerable justification." "Thank you, Mr. Major, sir." "I really do thank you for that." "But the court didn't agree, right?" "So where does that leave you?" "I'm offering you an alternative." "Which means you can keep on fighting." "Who for, Major?" "For yourself, if you want." "With the Krauts, the real master race merchants." "That's your war, man, not mine." "You don't like Krauts, Major, you fight them." "Me?" "I'll pick my own enemies." "That's your privilege." "But you won't be able to exercise it much longer." "Guard!" "Because on March 25th you have a date with the hangman." "That's just 6 days from now." "Buenos dias, Major." "I've been going over the transcript of that man's trial." "A couple of things I don't get." "Did he ever claim that he didn't do it?" "Beg your pardon, Major, but you haven't been around prisons much, have you?" "You see, the first thing one learns in prison, everybody is innocent." "As a matter of fact, this one doesn't say much about that one way or another." "He's only disturbed because we don't allow him to have guitar strings, sir." "You ever lose a man because he hung himself with a guitar string?" "No, sir, I haven't, and I'm not about to." "If he makes the trip, see that he gets the strings." "Yes, sir." "Attention!" "Tell the men to be seated." "Take seats!" "Guards out." "Guards out." "Yes, sir." "You heard him!" "Guards out!" "My name, for those of you who may have forgotten, is Reisman." "You've all volunteered for a mission which gives you just 3 ways to go." "You can foul up in training to be sent back for immediate sentence execution or you can foul up in combat in which case, I will personally blow your brains out." "Or you can do as you're told." "In which case, you may just get by." "You must not attempt to escape." "There will be no excuses, no appeal." "Any breach of either of these conditions by any one of you means that you will all be sent back for immediate sentence execution." "You are, therefore, dependent upon each other." "Any one of you try anything smart and the 12 of you get it, right in the head." "So try to remember that." "Are there any questions?" "Sir?" "Do we have to eat with niggers?" "It's all right." "A gentleman from the South made some kind of inquiries about the dining arrangements." "He and his colleagues are discussing the place card settings." "All right?" "Thank you, sir." "Look, corporal, fellows." "Let's get with it, right?" "Remember?" "Baseball, pitching?" "Chicago's always had a pitcher." "But now, as far as hitting goes my sister, she can hit better than half them fellows." "Let's move it out!" "What do you think, Sergeant?" "I think you'll do just fine, sir." "Don't give me that." "I said what do you think?" "I think the first chance one of them lovers gets he's going to shoot the Major right in the head." "Sir." "Thank you, Sergeant." "Okay Franko!" "Let's go!" "Move it out!" "Come on." "Over there." "Have the men fall in." "Facing me." "On your feet." "Fall in over here, double quick." "Come on now!" "Come on, snap it up!" "Jiminez, get in there!" "Attention!" "Franko!" "Get rid of that cigarette." "Thank you." "This will be your new home until further notice." "What there is of it, will be built by you but construction will not interfere with your training schedule." "The sooner you get it up, the sooner you'll be sleeping in out of the rain." "You're in charge." "I want this compound up and completed within the month." "Thank you." "If this place was on fire, it'd burn to the ground." "What are you doing over there?" "Hey, Maggot!" "What are you, German?" "What are you trying to do, break the window?" "All right, Sergeant, fall them in." "Fall in, in front of the hut." "On the double!" "At ease!" "That'll be all for today." "How come they got all the comforts of home?" "Why can't we put our floor in?" "Why can't we put our windows in?" "Mr. Franko with his keen eye for detail, has noted that the prisoners quarters are not yet ready." "The answer to that is simple." "You are not yet ready to occupy that hut with the degree of comfort that you would like." "When I think that you've earned that privilege, I'll let you know." "Reveille is at 05:30." "That is all." "You heard the man." "Chow time!" "Dismissed!" "That's it, fellows." "Speak up, boys." "That's it, Wladislaw." "Wind it up strike one!" "Hey, Joseph!" "ls that the way you did it in Napoleon's navy?" "Hey, Franko." "Number, please!" "Ask the operator for my nickel back." "Why don't you guys just dry up and blow away?" "Meanwhile, on the Atlantic Wall the German forces have been preparing a few nice surprises for you gentlemen just in case Mr. Churchill is really foolish enough to attempt an invasion." "He may not be unduly worried about this but then, of course he will not be taking any active part in such an invasion." "What's this guy's name again?" "You ought to know." "You listen to him every night." "Dumbo, get me a cup of coffee." "Sleepy time!" "Jump through this, will you?" "Hey, you!" "Come here." "You look like an intelligent guy." "You like it here?" "No." "You going to stay here?" "I ain't got nowhere else to go." "You're an idiot." "Wladislaw!" "You understand German." "Who is that dame singing about?" "It's about a very lonely girl who's sick and tired of war and being left alone." "Waiting for her man to come home." "Keep that cheap, wailing slut quiet!" "Let's cut the community scene!" "Get some sleep!" "You'll need it!" "Up yours." "Creeps." "They're all creeps." "That's what they are." "Creeps." "Where you going?" "Going to the can." "You want me to come with you?" "Are you kidding?" "They're after Franko!" "You trying to get us all hung?" "We're all dead anyway." "Don't tell me you believe that creep?" "Want that bum to make suckers out of you?" "Whose side are you on anyway?" "What's with you?" "What is this anyway?" "Uncle Tom week?" "You come with me, we're home free." "He doesn't give a damn" "If we go on that mission, we'll all get killed." "That's what they want!" "Those idiots are going to get shot." "They're not even due for hanging." "You...." "You slob!" "What do you think you've got coming?" "Slipped on a bar of soap?" "Yeah." "Pull with your arms." "Hold with your legs." "Pull with your arms." "Hold with your legs." "Come on, Jiminez!" "Move it." "When the time comes, you've got exactly 34 seconds to clear that distance." "I really can't make it!" "Come on, Jiminez." "Move it!" "Don't stop now!" "I can't." "I can't!" "Come on, Jiminez." "Move!" "I really can't." "I can't make it." "Jiminez you come down that rope, you're going straight back to prison." "I can't!" "Give me that weapon." "Take a stay on that rope." "I can't make it!" "I can't!" "Boy, look at him go now!" "Gracias a Dios." "You couldn't make it?" "Let's see a little of that Apache know-how." "Rethread that pulley and get another rope down here." "Yes, sir." "Come on!" "Give these other characters a crack at immortality." "You said Mayonnaise was the only one supposed to get on top of that chateau." "But suppose Jiminez gets killed before he gets to the top of that chateau?" "Come on, Posey." "Move it!" "Get that thing up here." "We'll have it ready in a minute." "All right, Franko, you're next." "So much for hygiene on the field." "Which one of you would like to stick this in the Major?" "It's going to help the war effort." "Sit down." "You'll get your chance." "Let's see...." "Me?" "Step out here!" "I'd rather not, sir." "It's just an example." "Come on." "Step out here, please." "Will you hold this knife?" "It's got a scabbard on it." "It can't hurt anybody." "Tell me, Posey." "What'd they lock you up for?" "I mean, what did you do?" "I already told you that, sir." "Tell me again." "I'm sure that your friends would like to know too." "What'd you do, Posey?" "Yeah, fill him in." "This fellow wouldn't stop pushing me." "I don't like to be pushed, so I hit him." "Killed a man with your bare hands, because he shoved you?" "I only hit him once." "Only hit him once." "Drove his jawbone right through his brain, because he pushed him." "I didn't mean to kill him." "You didn't mean to, but you did." "What if you meant to kill somebody?" "Could you do it?" "If you had to kill somebody with a knife, you think you could do it?" "Come on, tell me." "I'd rather not." "I don't care what you'd rather do." "Come on, stick that knife in me." "You can do that." "I don't want to do this." "Come on, just stick it right here in me." "It won't hurt." "I don't want to hurt you." "You won't." "I'm going to hurt you." "Stick me with the knife." "I don't want no trouble." "You've got none." "I'll give you all the trouble you'll ever get." "Just stick that knife right there." "Right there." "You're a big boy." "You killed a man because he shoved you?" "I'm shoving you." "Let me have it." "Stick him!" "I'm talking to you." "Give it to me, or I'll shove you through the wall!" "Give it to him!" "Give me that knife." "I want that knife." "I don't like being shoved!" "You're being shoved." "Stick him!" "Knock him cold!" "Posey?" "What a name for a guy like you!" "Stop it." "I'm giving orders around here." "I don't like to be pushed!" "Stop pushing!" "Yes, sir." "You all right?" "Yeah." "Now, relax!" "Get up!" "You learn how to take care of that temper of yours ain't nobody'll take this knife away from you." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "We're all set." "Go see Captain Kinder for a few minutes." "What's he going to do?" "He's just going to talk to you." "Brush yourself off and go in there." "Which of you gentlemen is next?" "I'm looking for a volunteer." "All right, Maggott you're next." "Speed it up, men." "Speed it up!" "They're looking pretty good." "I hope they don't forget what they're getting in shape for." "Captain Kinder figures he can teach me letters." "Expect I'll be plum proud if I could write them." "That would put you way ahead of most of the guys around here, wouldn't it?" "Better fall in and join them." "It is true that I've been blessed with an insight into women that others don't have." "And sometimes...." "Sometimes I'm called upon to use it in our beloved Master's will." "If women are your special province, why do you hate Major Reisman so much?" "There are 11 evil men out there." "And they must be punished for their wickedness." "This Major Reisman snatched them up from the brink of the pit and he cheated the Master of His vengeance." "And you think that's what God wants, to punish these men?" "He will, Captain." "He will." "And Major Reisman too." "What does that give you?" "It doesn't give me anything." "But along with these other results it gives you the most twisted, antisocial bunch of psychopathic deformities I have ever run into." "And the worst the most dangerous of the bunch, is Maggott." "You've got one religious maniac, one malignant dwarf two near idiots the rest I don't want to think about." "I can't think of a better way to fight a war." "How very funny." "But the results of these tests point out that each has a built-in resentment against authority." "Any kind." "Don't you?" "This is different." "They think the United States Army is their enemy." "Not the Germans." "They know the United States Army." "But the Krauts haven't done anything to them yet." "Very sophisticated." "At least they know the United States Army." "You can twist it anyway you want." "But the point is you are their main enemy." "You are liable to be their number one target." "At least it gives them something in common." "That's what's missing." "What do you mean?" "They've come a long way individually." "Further than we have any right to expect." "Not as a unit." "Not as a group." "They've got to function as a team." "And that's what's lacking." "Putting them on guard duty will help?" "It might give them a sense of participation." "I don't know." "Why don't you let me weed out the real morons?" "Especially Maggott." "I didn't pick them, the Army did." "And I didn't pick the assignment either." "This is one time the Army's going with a starting lineup." "All the way." "Including Maggott?" "Including Maggott." "Cheers." "Cheers." "We could always get hurt, right?" "Why don't you shut up?" "What's the matter?" "You planning to save your mother?" "Why don't you lay off?" "Want me to show you how to do it?" "All right!" "I'll take my arm, put it around your neck." "Very simple." "Right?" "And then it's all on the leverage." "Learn how to fall, or you'll be in a wheelchair." "That's what I was trying to tell him." "You don't know how to fall right." "Here, slob!" "That's a bad attitude." "Kind of rough on the little fellow." "Like to try that with me?" "This is really quite simple." "I'll say one word, then you tell me as fast as you can whatever word comes to mind." "For instance, if I were to say "happiness," you might say, "children."" "I wouldn't say that." "That was just an example." "But if I said, "ambition," what would you say?" "I wouldn't say anything." "Let's give it a try, okay?" "Weapon." "Baseball." "Knife." "Dodgers." "Officer." "Pitcher." "You seem to be thinking about just one thing, aren't you?" "What are you thinking about?" "I don't want you to think of just one thing." "I'd like for you to concentrate on each word I throw at you." "Okay?" "Okay." "Food." "Cincinnati." "Comfort." "Chicago." "What made you say that?" "That's what I was thinking about." "The hell with it!" "What is it this time?" "How am I supposed to shave in cold water?" "That's your problem." "Where will you get hot water in the field?" "The guards got hot water." "You got hot water!" "You're in the field!" "That's tough." "How come you guys have hot water?" "You keep quiet." "You keep your big mouth shut!" "We ain't shaving in cold water!" "Not if all of you don't." "That's right!" "Why don't you shave in cold water?" "Right." "We're not going to shave anymore." "We ain't shaving." "We ain't washing, either." "Not in cold water." "Is that right?" "The guards got hot water." "We ain't using cold water!" "You can't make us, either." "You're going to get yourself into hot water, Franko." "What are you going to do?" "Hang us?" "What can they do?" "They can't do nothing." "What are you going to do?" "You know, I think Franko might be right this time." "Shaving in cold water won't make us any better soldiers." "Excuse me, sir." "We got some trouble outside." "Yeah, yeah." "I hear." "Fall them in." "Fall in!" "On your feet!" "Come on over here, Posey!" "Dress it up there." "Get in line." "What's this about refusing to shave?" "Who is refusing to shave?" "We are." "Who is we?" "We!" "All those refusing to shave, take one step forward." "You want to stink, huh?" "And maybe itch too?" "That's okay with me, because I don't have to smell you." "Sergeant, there will be no further issue of shaving equipment or soap." "And there will be no more hot meals." "Just K rations." "Courtesy of Mr. Franko." "At ease." "I think we got something there." "That's what the Navy calls mutiny." "Remember what I said about working individually?" "12 rugged individualists?" "So?" "You heard them. "We ain't going to do this and we ain't going to do that."" "Even Posey stepped forward." "I bet he's been shaving in cold water since he was a kid." "Boy, do I love that Franko." "That means that we are going to have that much more time for work." "Right?" "So now, if you you Dirty Dozen have no objections we will get our equipment and we will start in right now." "Attention!" "Step right face!" "Attention!" "That's very good." "You look just like real soldiers." "Fall out!" "Now, move it!" "You're still the dirtiest soldiers in this man's Army." "And you're getting filthier every day." "But your training is almost over." "In 2 days, you'll learn how to jump with a parachute." "And you'll learn quick!" "This training will take place at a regular Army base." "And I just want to remind you that this operation is secret." "Top Secret." "You will not be wearing dog tags." "You will not say anything to anyone." "Understand?" "Nothing!" "One word, one slip from any one of you and the deal is off." "You all know what that means, right?" "All right, serve it up." "Serve up!" "Colonel Breed isn't going to like this secrecy bit." "We're still Top Priority?" "You can't ignore his authority!" "Do we have the juice or don't we?" "Then I don't care what Colonel Breed likes." "Look, you're supposed to be the Liaison Officer." "Get orders to the highest echelon stating to Colonel Everett Dasher Breed, that a group over which he has no authority will arrive on Tuesday, and the men's identities are secret." "Tell him we got a general with them." "Tell him any damn thing you want." "But just get that West Point bum off of my back!" "Okay?" "A general, huh?" "I'll see what I can do." "I know you will." "Okay, pig face, serve it up!" "What is it?" "Don't know." "I never ate anything like this before." "Stepped in it a couple of times, but I never ate it." "What did he say it was?" "Did you ask what general?" "Got the same thing again." "No information beyond what was in the order." "General Denton?" "When we first called, his extension was busy." "Now he's not there." "Attention!" "Not now." "What about you?" "Nothing, sir." "Not now, you...!" "I think they're coming." "It's them." "Sir, they just passed the checkpoint." "Let's go." "Attention!" "Now!" "Sounds like we're running into a party." "Boy, you don't suppose it's for us, do you?" "Major Reisman reporting, sir." "Where's your general?" "He's in the truck, but you understand that he's traveling incognito." "We thought he might care to inspect our Number One Platoon." "If you give me a moment, I'll see if he's willing to do that." "How come the band?" "What the hell are we waiting for?" "Inspecting a guest list." "What guest list?" "What's the matter with you?" "Which one of you wants to be a general?" "Be a what?" "What kind, sir?" "Just a plain, ordinary, everyday, home-loving, American general." "I'd rather be a civilian, sir." "What do I have to do?" "You've seen generals inspect troops." "Walk slow, look dumb and act stupid." "Up one rank and down the other, and straight back to the truck." "They're expecting a general and that's what they're going to get." "So let's go!" "Get on." "Now move it!" "Move it." "Let's go." "Fall in!" "Pinkley's going to be a general." "Why?" "What for?" "Shut up and watch." "First platoon waiting for inspection." "They're very pretty, Colonel." "Very pretty." "But can they fight?" "Yes, sir." "I hope you're right." "Where are you from, son?" "Madison City, Missouri, sir." "Never heard of it." "Major, we've got work to do." "Thank you, Colonel." "Hold it down!" "Pull a stunt like that again, I'll beat your brains out." "I bet you you don't...." "Fall them into a column of 2, then have them move out." "Yes, sir." "Fall into column of twos on me." "Fall out!" "Forward, march!" "Some people might consider you a first-class officer but as far as I'm concerned you're a disorganized, undisciplined clown." "I'll make it my business to run you out of this Army." "I owe you an apology, Colonel." "I always thought that you were a cold, unimaginative, tightlipped officer." "But you're really quite emotional." "Aren't you?" "Watch yourself." "Look out, will you?" "Here, hold this!" "Let's go!" "Do you believe this guy?" "All right, baby." "We're coming!" "Come on, let's go!" "You're in the way." "What's the matter with you guys?" "Listen, buster." "Keep your hands off me!" "Now take it easy." "We just want to ask you a few questions." "Questions?" "Hold him!" "You son of a...." "In the gut so it feels good." "That's the way!" "Talk, you bastard." "Who are you?" "Number 9, you crumb." "Number 9." "You going to tell us?" "Go to hell." "Hold him." "Where the hell are your dog tags?" "I ate them." "You ate them?" "You going to tell us now?" "Yeah." "Number 9!" "What happened?" "They tried to make me talk." "Where have you been?" "What happened to him?" "He slipped on a bar of soap." "Everybody's slipping on soap around here." "Of all the miserable...." "Who?" "Reisman had some "paras" jump him." "Major did this?" "Gave him a pretty hard time." "Well?" "Well, what?" "Did he tell them anything?" "Are you crazy?" "3 wise men." "Trust your Major." "I'd rather trust Hitler." "Move it out." "Come on, move it!" "You'll find this easier than our jump tower in training." "At your stations!" "On the bramble bush" "Are all so big and white" "But if you wish to pluck one" "As sure as you are born" "The bramble bush will stick you" "With its" "Prickly thorn And the pretty girl" "Morgan!" "They should be here any minute." "Better get the men together." "We'll use your hut for tonight." "Our hut?" "Your hut." "Yes, sir!" "Right away, sir." "All right, Ike and Mike get on your feet." "Let's go." "Move it!" "What are you, the Gold Dust Twins?" "Do you need a special invitation?" "No, sir." "I mean, yes, sir." "Then move it." "That's T.S., Greek." "Why don't you tell it to the chaplain?" "All right, you foul-ups, get over to the M.P. hut!" "The man wants to talk to you." "Move it!" "Off it now." "Let's get going!" "So this is how the other half lives." "Get going!" "We're not going to the junior prom!" "Pretty sweet, huh?" "Better floor boards." "Even electricity." "Nice to be rich." "What does he want to see us for?" "Look at those pictures!" "Horny bunch of mothers." "Give them a little air, boys." "Hold it, Jiminez." "Okay, Sarge." "Jump School didn't kill you, maybe that stuff will." "Your training's about over and I figured that entitles you to a graduation ball or something." "You have cups and glasses." "Wheel them in." "Shall I say they're with the Major's compliments?" "Hell, no!" "Say it's part of their training." "Where are we?" "Somebody in this truck has a cold nose." "Get off my foot!" "What's your name, soldier?" "It's an army barrack." "I'm not one for orgies, myself." "We should have asked for more money." "Pigs!" "You sinners." "Good evening." "I'm already too worn out to work." "Right this way, ladies." "Good evening, Major." "Only got 8." "It's like cops." "If you really want one you can't find one." "Good evening!" "Good evening, Admiral." "Blimey, they're filthy!" "They may be, lady, but they sure do mean well." "All present and accounted for, Major." "You gentlemen will be on duty again at 06:00 hours in the morning." "Oddly, the same amount of time these ladies have allotted to be your guests." "I suggest that you use that time to get acquainted." "I don't believe Mr. Maggott would care to indulge so I suggest you save some whiskey for him when he gets off of duty." "Good night, gentlemen." "Ladies." "Good night, Colonel." "You crazy?" "Let's go." "We might inhibit them." "You want to bet?" "Yes, you, Major Reisman!" "I saw those filthy strumpets." "You're turning this place into a bottomless pit of vice!" "Comes Judgment Day and Judgment Day is coming those men, they'll suffer eternal damnation because of you, Major!" "Keep your mouth shut, and your eyes open." "You're on guard duty, Maggott." "Want to dance?" "There's no music." "Try humming." "All right, girls, you want to lose those wraps?" "You think those guys realize tomorrow's Mother's Day?" "Is it?" "Now they're doing it to music." "This is a restricted area, sir." "I know that." "2 groups, 3 ranks in." "Open the gate." "Open this gate." "Yes, sir." "Look at those guys." "You can't come in here, sir!" "Sergeant take his weapon." "Take his weapon." "Corporal Morgan." "Sergeant, get that rabble in some kind of order." "I must say, sir, you are contravening a direct order." "Contravening nothing!" "Fall in with the other clowns." "Speak when you're spoken to." "You heard what the Colonel said." "Fall in!" "Move it!" "You heard what he said." "Fall in!" "Let's get the lead out." "What's he all upset about?" "All right, you bunch of foul-ups, grab a formation!" "Fall in there!" "Come on, you yard birds!" "Do you believe this army?" "We got to be losing." "What's wrong?" "You got lead in them?" "Ain't those the jokers who roughed you up in the latrine?" "We had Reisman all wrong." "Not now." "Wait for it." "What's going on up there?" "What are you, something special?" "We got to wait all day for you?" "Get in position there." "Try to make a straight line." "Let's look like soldiers." "I told you nobody could pass." "Open the gate." "Let's get going." "Those are the 2 guys that got Wladislaw." "Those are the 2 guys that gave Wladislaw his lumps." "Those are the 2 guys that jumped Wladislaw." "Those are the 2 guys that banged Wladislaw." "Those 2 gorillas beat up Wladislaw." "Those are the 2 guys" "In my opinion the officer in command of this operation has either disregarded his orders or is flagrantly disobeying them one way or the other." "And that is what I am here to find out." "Gentlemen let's understand each other." "I'm here to find out exactly what this is all about and I intend to do it, if it takes all day." "You can make it easy or tough on yourself." "That's up to you." "Before I leave, we're going to find out who's involved in this insanity what you're doing here and why." "Is that understood?" "All right, General." "Name, rank and serial number?" "You tell, we hang." "Quiet!" "What's your name, soldier?" "Number 2, sir." "Morgan." "Clayton." "Yes, sir." "Give Clayton this man's name, rank and serial number." "Same with the rest." "I don't know that." "Tell him what you know." "You fink, tell him nothing!" "What?" "Nothing, sir." "Come here, soldier." "When did you bathe last?" "I don't remember, sir." "You're filthy." "A disgrace to the uniform." "Fredericks, get me a razor and some water." "This man will demonstrate the procedure for shaving and bathing in the field." "Right, soldier?" "No, sir!" "No, sir, what?" "No, sir, I am not going to shave, sir." "Then we'll do it the hard way." "Clayton!" "Blake!" "Dry-shave him." "Now!" "That's right!" "Be good enough to have your men dispose of their weapons." "Get some special help and get those weapons!" "Yes, sir!" "You heard the man!" "Get moving!" "Hit them only where it hurts." "Turn it loose!" "I'm sorry, Sergeant!" "You Nazi!" "I'm with the Major all the way!" "Don't call us, we'll call you." "You must be out of your mind." "It might seem that way." "Take it all back, Colonel." "They aren't pretty." "And they can't bore an ass." "They all bore an ass." "I hear they don't need to use parachutes!" "Don't just stand there." "Pick it up!" "Stick around for tea." "Come again, Colonel." "Stop by any time, Bozo." "I'm sure you look upon your service record as being highly colorful." "That is not my view of it." "I think you know I was never in favor of you leading this operation." "So I can't say that I'm disappointed in your performance." "Because the first impression you made on me was distinctly unfavorable." "You behave as if this were a personal matter." "Let me assure you, it isn't." "What happens to you is something to which I am totally indifferent." "But the nature of the operation I am running is not." "The Colonel's report on your unit's achievement level and general behavior at the Parachute Training School is entirely negative." "It would justify my recommendation that this operation be canceled." "Your men will return for execution of sentence." "Any personal disciplinary action against you is a matter for General Worden." "So you don't deny your responsibility for the fact that on the night of April 14-15 a military establishment of the U.S. Army was the scene of a drunken party at which no less than 7 female civilians took an active part." "Yes, sir." "They took an active part, all right." "Excuse me, gentlemen." "Are you able to offer even the remotest mitigating circumstances?" "More ice." "Well?" "You offered those men a chance to get off the hook." "They've worked damn hard at it." "Now you're saying, "Sorry, deal's off."" "Why?" "You're the one responsible for those women being in camp." "So I broke an Army regulation." "You're going to kill 5 men and send the rest to prison for life?" "Because if you did that you'd have to lock up half the U.S. Army, officers included." "Anyway, it's my fault, not theirs." "And it won't affect their ability as soldiers." "We've heard about their ability as soldiers from Colonel Breed." "That's his opinion." "My men have crammed 6 months of intensive training into as many weeks." "And as of this moment, I'd stack them up against any men in the Army." "You can't be serious." "Damn right, I'm serious!" "They might not be pretty but any one of mine is worth 10 of yours." "That's hardly the point" "That's precisely the point!" "My contention is that my men are more than able to handle any job given them." "You gentlemen set this thing up." "You promised them a chance." "At least allow them to show you what they can do." "I shudder to think what they can do." "Give them a chance to prove it!" "Then if they fail, your conscience is clear." "Tell me, Major just how would you have your men prove it?" "It can't be done, can it?" "Yes, I suppose it could." "I mean, there might be a way." "What I mean is you recall next week we've got Divisional Maneuvers down in Devonshire?" "Colonel Breed's outfit will be part of that exercise." "As a matter of fact, one of his companies has been assigned the defense of Divisional Headquarters." "So?" "So...." "So you let my 12 men act as an independent unit attached to the opposing force they'll knock out the Colonel's headquarters and capture his staff." "That I'd like to see." "So would I!" "Charlie and Fox companies will remain in the woods." "They'll need supplies from the 2nd Battalion." "Rogers won't like that, but I don't want to hear any arguments." "How's Johnson's armor?" "They just ran through 2 minutes ago." "The armor's all set." "Hold it!" "Back up!" "Change." "Go." "Move!" "Reckon we're going to get away with this?" "Smile, you idiot." "If those Blue slobs recognize us, we're in trouble." "How are you, fellows?" "Do you believe it?" "They shaved." "How about that?" "Get a load of the Major." "He can't believe we made it." "Day go fast, Major?" "You're beautiful, but you're late." "Got everything you need?" "Absolutely." "Think you can remember the plan?" "Where'd you get the vehicle?" "We stole it, like we're going to steal everything else." "We're playing war games, right?" "Anything else, sir?" "I guess not." "We'll be with the generals at Headquarters." "From now on, you're on your own." "So take off and good luck." "Let's go!" "Split up into 3 groups." "These two belong to you?" "Where's General Worden?" "He's gone to check up in the field." "Oh, my God!" "Be with you in a minute, sir." "How about this one?" "Yes, sir." "I think that's it, sir." "That's excellent, Haskell." "Excellent!" "Come on, let's go." "We made it." "Where are the others?" "8:45." "Four should be coming over that ridge soon." "08:45?" "!" "They'd better be coming fast then." "The enemy is laying a barrage on that ridge at 08:50." "Didn't you know that?" "I knew that." "That's the one direction Colonel Breed won't be looking for them." "Are they all set?" "All set, sir." "Batteries 1, 3 and 4, open fire and continue at will." "Ready!" "Aim!" "Fire!" "Come on!" "Let's go!" "Load!" "Now!" "While they're reloading!" "Down!" "There's an indicator!" "Secure guards!" "All right, let's go." "Let's go." "What the hell were you guys waiting for?" "What do you mean boy?" "Those lovers were trying to kill us back there." "Change." "What do you mean, change?" "You can't do that." "It's all right, Major." "We're going to change back later." "You can't stop us now." "Let's go." "Come on." "We're on our way." "We get across this road, take ten." "My feet are killing me." "What are we waiting here for?" "For a jeep, a heavy machine gun, and 4 men." "Like this one?" "Slow down." "Attention!" "Good afternoon, General." "Mafia has landed." "Whatever Franko says, Franko does." "Get the machine gun." "Come on, move it out." "Franko out." "Out?" "What do you mean, out?" "Who do you think stole this thing?" "You did, my boy." "You and Pinkley are the only guys that Colonel Breed got a good look at." "This operation is a big enough risk without you coming along." "Out!" "Come on, Franko." "You have until 09:30 to show up with the ambulance." "You don't make it, I'll figure you got nailed." "Then we'll take a whack at Plan B." "So long, Major." "Hold on, Maggott, don't want to lose you now." "Attention!" "Morning, Breed." "Quite a surprise." "Everything under control?" "I think you could say that, sir." "Good, good." "At ease, gentlemen." "Just thought I'd drop by to see how things are shaping up." "This is what it looks like." "Push!" "Posey, remember, you're hurt!" "I'm dying." "Come on, Maggott." "Stand back now." "What's that?" "Over there!" "What was that?" "Down the road, sir." "See that smoke?" "Have somebody take a look." "Why are they around that ridge?" "I don't know, sir." "That should have been cleared half an hour ago." "Well, it sure doesn't look like it's been cleared, does it?" "Let's go!" "Remember, you're injured!" "Quit worrying." "You forgot the ketchup." "Help!" "We got a man that's hurt bad, needs an ambulance." "Call an ambulance." "Sergeant, go see what happened." "Come on, you two." "Private?" "Come here." "What were you doing on that road?" "Got a flat tire." "We went into a ditch." "I didn't ask you that." "I asked what you were doing on that road." "Spotting for the field artillery, sir." "Let's see that map." "Private?" "Come here." "Yes, sir." "What's your name and outfit?" "Private Matthews, Donald, sir." "Serial number 726256." "Battery B, 526 Field Artillery, sir." "Where are your orders?" "Right here, sir." "From Captain Thornhill." "I know most of the men under my command." "I don't recall having seen you before." "No, sir." "I transferred in last week." "We're getting congested at Point B, sir." "Blue forces have mined the road." "Where's Peterson?" "There." "Clear the way!" "Somebody got hurt." "Watch it there!" "Let's have some help with this fellow." "Count of 3, lift." "Lift!" "Where do we put him?" "Put him there." "Your men can stay, but keep out of the way." "Thank you, sir." "Sorry, gentlemen, but this is the end of the line for you." "But we got a bad accident down here." "That's too bad, because you just became prisoners of war." "The enemy, sir." "Come on, let's go!" "They can't do that!" "You're wearing Red Force insignia!" "That's right." "We're traitors." "Watch my finger!" "Look here, I'm a doctor." "And I'm a Major, Captain." "Yes, but we just had a radio message." "There's a man badly hurt down there!" "I have permission to cross all lines and roadblocks." "Very cute idea, Captain." "But it won't work." "Get out!" "But it's not a gag, sir." "There's a real casualty there." "All set back here." "Will you explain the rules to him." "The man may be dying." "I'm just an observer, Captain, not an umpire." "I can't interfere, or make any rulings." "Come on, Doc, I've got a sick tree back here." "Come on, you too." "Bracelet's on." "She's engaged." "Come on, Sugar!" "Got your patient right here, Doc." "What goes on here?" "What's the matter?" "Come on, Little Red Riding Hood." "You're really going to enjoy this." "How about this patient, Doc?" "Come on, men." "What about 09:30?" "Change to the blue armband." "What about the prisoners?" "Sorry." "Can't spare the men to look after prisoners." "You coming?" "Is Franko trying to kill us?" "We must be going 120." "He's going to squash us in this sardine can." "You want to be there by 09:30, don't you?" "How are you, Bill?" "We've called for the ambulance." "It'll be all right." "Yes, it will." "It's going to be all right." "I want a strike on Hill 80 at 14:00 hours." "Move to the base of the hill." "Tell them to keep their heads down." "Thanks very much, Colonel." "It's been very instructive." "I think I'll take a little ride now and get the overall picture." "Thank you." "Move it over." "Give them room." "Watch out!" "There he is!" "The old man." "Major Reisman's compliments, sir." "Hey, Major!" "What do you think about that one, Major?" "I didn't tell you guys this before." "I thought it might make you nervous." "Because after our last little party the generals were in favor of sending you guys back to finish your sentences." "Or get hung." "But I made a deal with them." "Knocking off Breed's headquarters got you off the hook." "But you weren't really worried, were you, Major?" "Not so much, he wasn't!" "But we still have one operation to go." "If you guys foul up this one, none of us will ever play the violin again." "Because up until now, it has been a game." "But, as of tomorrow night, it'll be the real thing." "If you want to know how real, I'll tell you." "It's my guess that a lot of you guys won't be coming back but there's no sense in squawking, because the Army never loved you anyway." "And besides, you all volunteered, right?" "That's more than I did." "Sergeant Bowren!" "We've been over this a thousand times but a lot can go wrong." "We've got to be prepared to improvise." "Let's see what happens when it goes right." "One." "One!" "Down at the roadblock, we've just begun." "Two!" "The guards are through!" "The Major's men are on a spree!" "The Major and Wladislaw go through the door!" "Pinkley stays out in the drive." "Six." "The Major gives the rope a fix." "Wladislaw throws the hook to heaven." "Jiminez has got a date." "The other guys go up the line." "Sawyer and Gilpin are in the pen!" "Posey guards Point 5 and 7." "Wladislaw and the Major go down to delve." "And where is Donald Duck?" "Donald Duck's down at the crossroads with a machine gun." "He'd better not be asleep, or we'll all be in trouble." "Thirteen!" "Franko goes up without being seen!" "Fourteen." "Zero hour!" "Jiminez cuts the cable." "Franko cuts the phone!" "Fifteen." "Franko goes in where the others have been!" "We all come out like it's Halloween!" "And kill every officer in sight." "Ours or theirs?" "Let's start off with theirs." "Again from the start without all of the ad libs." "All right." "One." "Down the roadblock, we've just begun!" "The guards are through!" "Three." "The Major's men are on a spree." "Fourteen." "Zero hour." "And...." "Jiminez cuts the cable." "Franko cuts the phone." "Fifteen." "Franko goes in where the others have been." "Sixteen." "We all come out like it's Halloween." "Seventeen?" "Seventeen D-day!" "We get out of there and make our way back to the coast." "And hope the entire invasion hasn't been a total disaster." "Otherwise, we've got a long swim home." "How much longer?" "I'll ask the driver." "Are you worried about jumping at night?" "Getting back." "Ready?" "Go." "Go!" "We're 6 minutes late." "We've been looking for Jiminez." "We found him hung up in an apple tree." "His neck's broken." "You mean he's dead?" "That's exactly what I mean." "He come this far." "Franko, now you know why we all checked out on that rope." "Gilpin." "Number 8." "Gilpin, did you hear me?" "Gilpin's got a date?" "Fourteen." "Zero hour." "Gilpin cuts the cable." "Franko cuts the phone." "Let's go." "What a great way to start out." "2 more weeks of this nonsense and I'll be home." "Final victory?" "No." "You may be right." "I'm going on leave." "This other Captain agreed to marry her." "Why?" "By then I guess he was used to her." "So on their wedding night someone knocked on their door." "And he thought it was her husband, so he jumped out the window." "So far, so good, Major." "Where are those guys?" "Here they come." "Let's go." "Come on, Pinkley." "Let's go." "It's just like the Major said it would be!" "Really some spread, ain't it?" "There they go now." "No blackout?" "Think they're expecting us?" "Hey, the silencer!" "Let's go." "Colonel Schultz of General Helmut's staff." "Good." "If you will just sign the book, I will have the orderly find rooms." "Please register." "Show these gentlemen to their rooms." "Numbers 5 and 6 in the East Wing." "Thank you, Sergeant." "Radio Room." "Everything okay?" "Yeah." "Don't know how many Germans we'll kill, but we'll make an awful lot of noise." "Do you believe in stuff like that?" "I don't know." "Can't hurt nothing." "I don't think I believe in stuff like that." "You room is next door." "If you go to the bar, I'll unpack your suitcases" "We'll do that." "That is all." "Very well, Captain." "Many thanks." "So how's your German holding out?" "I don't know." "You know those 2 guys walking down the stairs?" "I couldn't understand a word they said." "Just act mean and grunt." "Room 1 1." "Good evening, Colonel." "So?" "You go first." "I'll carry the bags." "We'll set it up here." "They should have been here by now." "Guard!" "I left the rope." "Hold it!" "Idiot." "Stupid Pollock." "Shut up." "Hurry up." "Now." "Ready for the turkey shoot?" "I wish I could read this." "I think it's dirty." "What are you doing?" "Franko and the others are still down there." "Come on!" "Hey, Maggott!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Get out of sight." "Wolfgang?" "Wolfgang?" "It's me." "Where are you?" "Where are you?" "Wolfgang, that really isn't funny any longer." "I'm going." "Scream bitch." "Scream." "Scream, you slut." "Speak, you harlot!" "Scream." "Pre-invasion nerves or passion?" "Or both?" "Radio room." "Everyone above the rank of lieutenant into the bomb shelter!" "Hurry!" "Pull it!" "Pull it!" "Hey, what's going on?" "Shut up!" "It's Judgment Day, you sinners." "Come out!" "Come out, wherever you are." "You didn't think about that, did you?" "They got to breathe." "Got the grenades?" "Right, sir." "We got enough to blow up the world." "What will we do about them?" "Feed the French, and kill the Germans." "Franko, cover that corner!" "What happened?" "They're locked in the bunker." "Go look for air vents over there." "Bring your grenades over here!" "I'll take a look." "Here they are!" "Take it down there." "Bowren, get Vladek out here!" "Where's that coming from?" "Vladek, we need you!" "Come on." "Franko, get over here and see if you can start one of those trucks!" "Wladislaw, Jefferson get the lids off those ventilators." "You know what you got to do, so do it!" "You Frenchies, beat it!" "It's all right." "Go on." "Get back up there and cover that bridge." "Move it!" "Help Bowren!" "Hurry it up!" "Posey's got trouble." "Get one of those trucks started!" "The pins in." "Get some gasoline." "Gasoline?" "You sure?" "You want to ask Pinkley and Vladek?" "Get going!" "Yes, sir." "Sawyer, Lever!" "Cover that bridge." "You believe these guys?" "They keep these locked." "Keep looking." "The other road!" "Come on, baby." "Where are you, baby?" "Let's go!" "Move over." "Move over!" "Get Vladek out of there." "Another flare." "Come on, you...." "When I signal you, set them off." "1, 2, 3, 4, and get the hell out of there!" "We'll wait for you at the bridge." "Right?" "Right!" "Let's go!" "Wladislav, let's go." "Hurry up!" "Are you okay?" "Set them off!" "Get that thing out of here, or we'll all go up!" "Let's go." "They're not going to make it." "Get one of the boats and we'll get out at the other side." "All right, blow it!" "Remember, Jefferson 20 seconds." "Faster." "Jefferson, faster!" "Come on, Jefferson!" "Run!" "Come!" "Hurry up!" "Move!" "Come on, start!" "It won't start!" "The battery won't start!" "All right, get in!" "Get in." "Shift...." "Shift it!" "We made it!" "We made it." "Those stupid bastards!" "We made it!" "Shut up!" "Keep shooting!" "Among the many reports of the raid on the Chateau near Rennes perhaps the most objective is the one by General Worden in which he states "We are recommending that those members of the group 'The Dirty Dozen' who survived should have their service records amended to indicate that they are returning to active duty at their former ranks." "That the next of kin of those prisoners who were killed be advised that they lost their lives in the line of duty."" "Did a fine job, Major." "I'll see you around." "You did a good job, soldier!" "Hurry up and get well." "We need men like you out there." "Boy-oh-boy-oh-boy." "Killing generals could get to be a habit with me." "Franko, V.R." "Vladek, M." "Jefferson, R.T." "Pinkley, V.L."
