"Caje." "Huh." "See if you can make it to the end of that ditch." "When we start firing cut over to those bushes fast." "See if you can get a shot at 'em with a grenade." "Okay." "Alright." "Pass the word." "When I start firing, everybody open up." "Give cover to Caje." "Hold your fire." "Kirby." "Stroback." "Flush out that barn." "(a small rattling noise)" "(a baby starts crying)" "A baby." "I almost, killed a baby." "Come on." "Give us a little rhythm." "Come on, Kirby." "Ding, ding, ding." "Come on son, swing." "That's it." "Hurrah." "Yeah." "We got the machine gun nest." "Roger." "Out." "(Men giving baby attention)" "We gotta eat." "So does he." "There's a dead woman out by the well." "Probably his mother." "You spot any Germans?" "No." "Nothing." "Did, uh, we kill her, the mother?" "No." "It was a mortar shell." "Probably happened last night." "Krauts." "Alright now." "Pay attention this time, huh." "We're gonna have to get out of here on the double." "Our lines are advancing." "Artillery's gonna give cover in 2 hours and 40 minutes." "That means we have to get back across that river, or else we'll be caught in our own fire." "Got that now?" "Alright." "Give it to me." "Eh, uh, Doc." "You better take him cause, heh heh." "The babes is more my style, huh." "What do you think you're doing, Kirby?" "Well, we're gonna take him with us." "No." "We can't." "It'll slow us up." "Well, he weighs hardly nothing." "I can carry him, Sarge." "What happens if we run into a kraut patrol?" "Or a sniper." "He'll be safer here." "You can't leave a baby alone Sarge." "He's gotta be fed." "He's gotta be taken care of." "We'll send somebody back for him." "The first civilian we find." "We can, uh, go all the way back Sarge, and not see a civilian." "Yeah." "From what we've seen around here, they're pretty scarce." "The baby stays." "Put him back, Doc." "But Sarge." "I almost killed that kid." "Only, we both got lucky." "Now you're asking to stiff him." " I'm not asking you." "I'm telling you." "Now put him back." "Go on." "Pick up your gear." "(baby making noises)" "I said, pick up your gear." "Stroback." "Yeah." "Take the point." "Alright." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Some war." "I could practically stick the kid in my pocket." "I think the Sarge is wrong." "I don't like this." "Just ain't right." "Yeah." "It's a civilian problem." "We're supposed to keep our nose out of civilian business." "If a civilian's too little to think for himself, he shouldn't be classified as a civilian." "Well." "He ain't a GI either." "You won't find it in any field manual, so you just ignore it." "I keep telling myself it's the Sergeant's problem." "Doesn't help me forget it either." "Alright." "Hold it." "Stroback." "Yes Sir." "Never forget it." "A Sergeant's first responsibility is to his men." "Always go strictly by the book if you want to get ahead in this man's army." "There's a convent about two miles east of here." "A little out of our way, but not enough to hurt." "Doc." "Littlejohn." "Go get the baby." "(Men cheering)" "Hey Sarge." "Can I go?" "Shut up Kirby." "Sergeant's right." "You never know when to quit." "Baby:" "Unh" "(Uhn, Uhn)" "Baby making more noises)" "(about to cry)" "(making happy noises)" "(Aah, eh ah)" "Aah, Oole uh" "How you doing Doc?" "Fine." "Just fine." "We'll take a break here." "Give your arms a rest." "I'm not tired." "You guys could all use it." "Now, go on and take it." "Come on." "Put him down." "Hello tiger." "Hey." "How old are you?" "(chatter, men fussing over baby)" "I don't think we can sing to him." "Hey." "Caje." "Do you know any french baby talk." "No, Billy." "It's the same thing in any language." "You know." "Hey, sing him a song Caje." "Yeah." "Come on Caje." "Au clair de la lune, Mon ami Pierrot," "Prête-moi ta" "It's flat." "I don't care what language he's singing." "écrire un mot." "Ma chandelle est morte, Je n'ai plus de feu." "Ouvre-moi ta porte." "Pour l'amour de Dieu" "Ouvre-moi ta porte." "Pour l'amour de Dieu" "Hey." "He likes it." "You know something." "He looks just like Churchill." "Most fat babies do." "You put a cigar in his mouth, he'd look just like you." "Ha ha ha." "Hey. he liked the joke." "(All the men laugh)" "He's laughing." "Alright." "Let's go." "Hey." "Give me the baby." "I'll spell you off awhile." "I found him." "I'm gonna carry him." "Let me carry him." "Let me carry him." "(Noisy chatter)" "Alright." "Knock it off." "Nobody but Doc carries that baby." "Yeah." "But Sarge." "If we help the Doc, maybe we can make better time." "If you all wanted to be an escort right." "Just remember." "We're behind enemy lines." "We run into a German patrol, we're gonna need every gun we have." "Nobody but Doc carries that baby." "Any questions?" "Well." "He's right." "I mean, the Sergeant's got a point." "I don't care if you think I've got a point or not." "That's an order." "All I want to do is get this baby to a convent." "Get out of this area." "Back to our own platoon, before our own artillery opens up on us." "Move out." "The convent should be just on the other side of that hill." "Caje." "Yeah." "For now we'll take a look to see if there's any Germans." "The rest of you stay here." "Brockmeyer." "Yup." "Keep an eye on that road." "Yeah." "That's the convent." "I'll uh, I'll carry his spare." "Everything's okay kid." "The nuns gonna take care of you." "I think he's hungry." "They'll feed him at the convent." "Hey." "I hope they got some milk." "They'll have something for him." "He'll be okay." "He'll have it made." "Hey look." "See kid." "All your troubles are over." "No krauts." "Huh Sarge?" "No convent." "Bombed out." "What do we do now?" "Well." "We'll find another convent." "Or a farm or..." "What's the matter, Kirby." "You run out of ideas." "That baby would have been a lot safer back at that barn." "Always against the laws." "Hemming ourselves up." "But Sarge." "We've come" "You just shut up." "You did a lot of talking." "Now you listen to me." "All those wisecracks about going by the book." "Well, what do you think the book is for?" "It's to protect wise guys like you." "And guys like me don't let themselves get talked right out of it." "Alright." "Our orders are to get out of this area in 2 hours and forty minutes enough to engage the enemy while they're doing it." "Now move out." "Hey." "Sarge." "Kraut patrol." "Coming right down the road." "Get down." "A few dozen at least." "Why don't we take them Sir." "They'd be like sitting ducks." "There's likely to be a company behind the patrol." "Then we'd be the ducks." "Keep him quiet." "(German)" "Sarge has permission to pick some apples." "(German)" "(German)" "(baby makes noise)" "(a small cry)" "(German)" "He thinks the noise was a bird." "(German)" "He wants the apples on this side." "(German)" "Forward March." "He's not breathing." "He's dead." "Are you getting anything Doc?" "(Baby cries out)" "Hey Doc." "That's great." "It's gonna be okay." "Come on." "Hey, he's a hurdler." "Saved the baby huh." "Doc." "Give me a pack." "Bad boy." "You're gonna be okay." "You're gonna be fine." "What are you looking for Sarge?" "Transportation." "(Cow gives long Moo)" "As if we'd get lucky and find something standing for a change." "Well." "At least there's no Germans in here." "(Cow) Mooo" "Hey." "Fresh milk." "Stroback hold it." "Won't take long Sarge." "It's java for the baby." "Stroback." "BOOM." "Ole Stroback ought to notice it." "Favorite kraut trick to go mine a field and bait it with a cow." "Stroback was a great one for milk." "He never got enough." "Sarge, I mean" "He would have gone after that cow even if the baby wasn't with us." "That's right." "Ole Stroback would never pass up a chance like that anyway." "We didn't have that baby, we wouldn't be here in the first place." "Stroback would never have seen that cow." "Germans may have heard that mine." "May be more of them around." "Brockmeyer." "Let's recon huh." "(chatter)" "Here Doc." "Take him." "(baby crying)" "Caje." "Yeah." "See if you can wash this out." "I've got an eye dropper or something in my bag we can use for a nipple." "Give him a little water." "Maybe he'll keep quiet." "Okay." "Hey Kirby." "Pump it for me." "I gotta wash this." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Hey." "Look at this." "The door blew off and the clothes stayed put." "How about that." "I saw things like this happen in a cyclone once." "Hey, Caje." "Yeah buddy." "I don't see how they can wear these things." "They must kill your feet." "Ah, they start when you're a kid, I guess you don't know any different." "Hey." "Look what I found." "I can fix us a bike." "Forget it." "Remember the last time you picked up a bike." "Yeah." "Well." "At least when the owner comes back he'll have transportation." "Yeah." "That should give him a real lift." "Hey, Billy." "Um." "Here's the other shoe." "You want it?" "Aw, No thanks." "I got enough junk." "Here's the bottle Doc." "Thanks Caje." "How is he?" "Fine." "Just fine." "Listen." "The kid needs milk, right?" "I know a way to get to that cow." "If we step a toe in that field the Sarge will blow his stack." "Aah." "Yeah." "What if we step on a mine?" "Then he can chew me all he wants to, because I ain't gonna be around to hear it." "How about you Caje?" "You with me?" "Kids gotta eat." "Okay." "Kids gotta eat." "Okay." "Now Billy." "You want to tag along?" "Okay." "But remember I told you." "Alright." "You told me." "Now let's go." "Moooohhh." "Hold it." "Take it out slowly." "I got a pin." "Fresh as it comes." "Sure is." "Even have Littlejohn get promoted, boy." "Well, there, tiger." "It'll be coming soon." "Hey, little man." "Hey little man. haha." "Yeah." "That's the way." "Hey." "That kid can drink more milk than I can cognac." "That's not saying much." "Get outta here." "Hey, it's my turn to burp him." "That was a good idea that cow." "You know?" "Yeah." "What about that cow?" "Sarge." "You wouldn't believe it." "That cow pulled up the stake, walked right through that field and over to us." "You guys are really asking for it huh." "All trying to be heroes." "Let's get moving." "Hey, wait a minute." "It's a locket." "Hey, open it up and see if there's a clue inside." "What is it?" "His old man.." "His old man's a kraut." "Come here." "Take a look here." "The kid's the spitting image of his old man." "Talk about being had." "The kid's a kraut." "Before you thought he looked like Winston Churchill." "Let me see it." "What does that say?" "It says, To Renee, with love, From your Ludwig." "Go ahead and say it Sarge." "Guess you're entitled." "Say what?" "I mean, a kraut father and a collaborationist mother." "We loused ourselves up for that." "I thought we loused ourselves up because of a baby." "Yeah." "But we didn't figure." "So the baby's not from pure royal allied stock." "So what." "Nothing's changed." "That baby can still get us all killed." "I'm joining up." "Pick up your gear." "Let's get out of here." "Doc." "Home stretch is just over that hill and across the river." "There's supposed to be a bridge." "Well maybe it's still there." "Time for a change of luck." "Alright." "The rest of you wait here." "Caje." "Let's take a look." "Well." "That takes care of the bridge." "Now why don't we try somewhere else?" "Not with the baby." "This river runs deep and rapid every place but here." "That's why the Germans picked this spot for their pontoon bridge." "Now what do we do now?" "I don't know." "Take a look along this river." "Maybe we can find some place we can get across." "Okay." "Hey." "Where's the Sarge?" "He and Nelson are scouting the river south of here." "Looking for a spot to get across with the baby." "Saunders didn't sound too hopeful." "We're stuck." "Oh no we're not." "Listen." "Remember the old farmhouse, and the bicycle on the old post." "Yeah." "What about it?" "Well it's a way for me and the baby to cross the bridge." "I don't follow." "Look." "I just saw a French farmer crossing the bridge." "The krauts let him go right through." "They didn't even ask for his ID card." "You're crazy." "You get caught wearing civilian clothes, you get shot." "Ahh." "I won't get caught." "Sergeant says you only got 30 minutes left before the artillery opens up." "Look." "I'll be back in 30 minutes." "Give me the baby." "Come on Doc." "Give me the baby." "I tell you, it'll work." "(German)" "(baby making noises)" "Shh." "(German)" "It's a dumb move." "Just plain stupid." "Got 10 minutes to get out of here." "How long has Caje been gone?" "20 minutes." "Alright we get out of here." "Move." "Move." "(German)" "Take off your packs." "Brockmeyer." "Wrap up that radio." "Let's go, Kirby." "(German)" "Come on Caje." "Get here." "We have to shove off." "Can't we wait a couple more minutes Sarge." "There are no more minutes left." "Let's go." "Sarge." "He's here." "A moment sir." "Some questions." "Where are you going?" "Oh, oh." "For medicine." "He is sick." "I had to wait five days for medical care." "(German)" "(baby screams loudly)" "Loud." "Des chend." "It's good." "Go." "Thank you." "He made it, Sarge." "Halt." "Wait a minute." "You have a cigarette?" "Cigarette?" "Yes, a cigarette." "I have it, huh." "Take a few." "Huh." "So long mister." "Bye." "Let's go." "Caje." "Way to go, Caje." "Doc." "Grab the kid." "How are you big fella." "Hey." "That's some show you put on, Caje." "For sure close on the bridge." "We'll talk about it later." "We're running out of time." "Move out." "Go on Doc." "Move out." "Go on." "Move out." "Pull out." "Let's go." "Pull out." "(cannon shell rips above)" "Heading down." "For us." "BOOM." "BOOM." "Alright. lets pull up fast." "BOOM." "BOOM." "BOOM." "Okay." "Let's head up." "BOOM." "BOOM." "BOOM." "You okay Sarge?" "Wha, what about the hand?" "Okay." "Let's move." "That kid would have got it if..." "I said let's move." "Sarge, uh." "A convent can't turn down a baby, can it?" "I don't know." "Listen." "We might just turn down this convent." "Here he is, Sister." "And here is the new baby." "It is good." "And thank you very much." "I must thank you." "Thank you." "Okay." "They'll take the baby." "They got a lot of babies in there." "They'll take good care of him." "ombubu" "A da" "Ahh" "Gaa mm" "What are you waiting for." "Take him in." "abun" "Ay. ay ay ay ah..aaya uh" "It will be good here Sir." "We will take good care of him ." "I know you will." "Subtitles by Jack T."
