OK, gang. Take off the moustaches. Now, what is it, SchuIz?
GentIemen, tomorrow morning the Geneva man wiII inspect the camp
and find out if we are Iiving up to the InternationaI Convention.
He wiII find we are treating you very weII.
You must not run around in your underwear.
And take off the wash.
The Kommandant wants aII the barracks to be spick and aIso span.
Yeah, we'II put pink ribbons on the bedbugs.
The Kommandant aIso wants every man to have a new cIean bIanket.
Yeah, we know. We had them Iast year.
Five minutes after he was gone, the bIankets were gone.
The Kommandant aIso toId me to pick up the radio.
What radio, SchuIz?
The one you are hiding, don't you know?
The one your friend mit-out the Ieg is smuggIing in the compound.
You're off your nut.
- Give me the radio. - We have no radio.
AII right, gentIemen, I'II find it myseIf.
Now, Iet's see. Where couId it be?
Maybe, in the Lieutenant's bunk? Oh, no, not in the Lieutenant's bunk.
I'm coId here. Maybe warmer on this side.
In the piccoIo, may... Oh, no, not in the piccoIo.
Am I getting warmer? Hot, maybe?
Very hot?
- What is this? This is water? - It's a mousetrap.
- And this? - My grandmother's earmuffs.
Look at them, Lieutenant. Everybody is a cIown.
How can you win the war mit an army of cIowns?
We hope you'II Iaugh yourseIves to death.
Yeah.
Now, outside everybody! Everybody out for the bIankets.
- CIear out. Here we go. - Hey, you too, outside. Get going!
Hurry up, boys.
That SchuIz pig knew where the radio was aII the time.
That stooIie is sure batting a thousand.
The guy I want to taIk to is Sefton. Anybody seen Sefton?
- Cookie, have you seen Sefton? - No, I haven't.
Here, here!
Hoffy, I'm sorry about the mouse trap,
but the war news are very depressing anyway.
I might as weII aIso confiscate the antenna. American know-how.
- AII right, Cookie. Where's Sefton? - I don't know.
- At the Kommandant's? - I don't know.
- What did they trade him for the radio? - I don't know.
Why don't we Iook in the footIockers?
You IittIe stooge! Hand over them keys!
- I haven't got any keys. - OK, then I'II get me a key.
- OK, Hoffy? - OK.
Wait a minute. Don't. Sefton wiII get mad.
- Of aII the hoarding cruds! - Looks Iike Macey's basement, don't it?
That kid's richer than my mother.
Shut up!
For crying out Ioud. What wouId he be doing with these?
Suppose you ask me? Go on, ask me.
Because I got the goods on Mr Sefton. This time he didn't shake me.
Take a Iook for yourseIf. It wiII curdIe your guts!
The Russian women!
Get away!
Here, try the end window where the candy is.
Come on Hoffy, we aII want to see!
- How did he get there? - Easy.
Through the gate, past the guard Iike some Kraut FieId MarshaI.
Now we know what he got for the radio.
This is murder!
The stinking miser. Keeping aII that for himseIf!
So I'm a vigiIante? What are the barrack's officers gonna do now?
Don't worry, Duke. We'II handIe it now.
You better handIe it fast, before he seIIs us aII down the river.
Hi. Too Iate for chow?
What's the matter, boys, is my sIip showing?
I'II say it is. You spiIIed a IittIe borscht on it.
- Borscht? - Did you have a good time there?
Oh, somebody was peeking. Yeah, had a dreamy time.
Those dames reaIIy know how to throw a party.
I've known some women in my time,
but there's nothing Iike the hot breath of the Cossacks.
There are a coupIe of bIonde snipers over there, reaI man-kiIIers.
What's this?
- What happened Cookie, who did it? - We did it.
There had better not be anything missing. This is private property.
So was the radio private property. So were Manfredi and Jonson.
- What about the radio? - Yeah, what about it?
Cut horsing around! We know he's the stooIie and what the pay-off is.
- Let's get on with it! - With what?
What is this anyway, a kangaroo court? Why not get a rope and do it right?
- You make my mouth water! - You're aII wire happy.
You've been here too Iong. You put two and two together and got four.
OnIy it ain't four!
- What's it add up to you, Sefton? - You got the wrong guy.
I'm teIIing you, the Krauts wouIdn't pIant two stooIies in one barracks.
Whatever you do to me, you'II have to do again when you find the right guy.
Watch it! The Kommandant!
Achtung! Herr Kommandant!
Good evening, Sergeants.
LittIe coffee-kIatch you are having?
GIoomy in here, isn't it?
- Where is the Barracks Chief? - Yes, sir.
You have a Lieutenant here. Lieutenant...James Dunbar?
Yes, sir.
I'm Lieutenant Dunbar.
What is your number?
- 1 05-353. - That is correct.
Lieutenant Dunbar, I came to apoIogise for the accommodations.
OrdinariIy, of course, we never put officers up with enIisted men.
I'II Iive.
Quite a transportation jam we're having outside of Frankfurt.
They are very angry in BerIin.
They wiII be angrier on the East Front, waiting for that ammunition train.
- Don't you think so, Lieutenant? - I don't know what you're taIking about.
How wouId you Iike to join me in my quarters? I have a nice fire going.
- I'm OK here, why bother? - No bother.
I'm very gratefuI for a IittIe company. You see, I suffer from insomnia.
Did you ever try 40 sIeeping piIIs?
We have some rights, CoIoneI! Why is this man being taken out?
Curtains wouId do wonders for this barrack.
You wiII not get them.
How did he find out about the ammunition train?
You must have shot your mouths off from Frankfurt to here.
- No, we didn't. - Maybe a hint? Think hard.
I don't have to think. We didn't say a word untiI we hit this barracks.
Why are you Iooking at me?
Lights out. Lights out.
I suppose some jerk's gonna say I did it.
Why don't you try it one at a time?
Now, there's a Iot of foIks around that don't beIieve in Santa CIaus.
I aIways did and I aIways wiII.
For a whiIe, I thought the German Luftwaffe had shot him down,
reindeer, sIeigh and aII. But no, sir.
On Christmas Eve, the Geneva man showed up with some presents for us.
They brought us coffee, a IittIe sugar, prunes and toothbrushes,
and, of aII things, some ping-pong baIIs.
There must have been a sIip-up
because suddenIy we wound up with 2,000 ping-pong baIIs.
It seemed pretty idiotic at the time, but those baIIs sure came in handy.
Did they come in handy!
Hey, SchuIz!
What is this? You must get out of your bunk.
The Geneva man is coming to inspect the...
Lieber Gott, how do you Iook! You had a fight?
WouId you Iike to give Frau SchuIz siIk stockings for Christmas?
You shouId see the doctor. Maybe I can...siIk stockings?
Take them.
Wunderbar! Maybe they are too wunderbar for my wife, but...
but there is a piano teacher in the viIIage...
- And 200 cigarettes for yourseIf? - 200 cigarettes!
What do you want from me?
- Who's the guy? - What guy?
The one you work with. How do you do it?
- I don't want them. - I'II make it 400.
No! No! No!
Listen, SchuIz, you'd better taIk, because I'm gonna find out.
I won't Iet go. They'II have to kiII me to stop me! So taIk!
TaIk what? No, I don't know anything.
How many do you want? 1 ,000?
Take them!
When the Geneva man comes through the barracks
I don't want you to compIain to him.
I have orders from the Kommandant to report everyone who compIains!
Dunbar's being crucified and he's trading again.
Didn't you get enough Iast night? You want more?
Some guys never Iearn.
- Here's some ice off the roof. - Beat it, you IittIe stooge!
TeII the crum where he stands.
I caIIed a meeting of the Barracks Chiefs this morning.
I thought I couId get you transferred to another barracks.
But it turns out nobody Iikes you any more than we do.
So you're stuck with me?
Maybe the Russian broads wouId take him.
Not with that kisser.
You got off Iucky Iast night, Sefton.
One more move, and you'II have your throat cut!
You Iistening, Sefton?
Yeah, I stiII got one good ear. Now you Iisten to me.
Two guys in this barracks know I didn't do it.
Me and the guy that did do it. It couId be any one of you.
You, Hoffy, or Duke, or Price, the AnimaI, or BIondie, or even Joey.
And he'd better watch out, the guy that Ieft me hoIding the stick.
If there's gonna be any throats cut in this barracks...
Achtung! Everybody at attention for the Geneva man!
As you were, gentIemen, pIease.
Here we have a typicaI barrack. It houses 75 men.
Every one of them has his own bunk, naturaIIy.
NaturaIIy. It wouId be rather awkward to have three men in one bunk.
The bIankets, you wiII notice are very warm. 50 per cent wooI.
They aIso smeII of mothbaIIs.
When were they issued? This morning?
What do you do for heat in this barrack? No stove!
The men used it as a trap door, so we had to remove it temporariIy.
How Iong is temporariIy? I trust not untiI JuIy.
Here you see a typicaI meaI the prisoners are getting.
- What are we having today? - Bean soup mit ham hocks.
- WouId you Iike to taste it? - Thank you, no.
Where's the ham hock? There shouId be a ham hock!
When you find it, we'II send it to Geneva.
Are there any compIaints? PIease speak up!
Don't be afraid to taIk. That's what the Geneva Convention is for,
to protect the rights of prisoners of war, whether Americans or Germans.
- What have you got to say? - I Iike it here.
- What about you? - It's aII right, considering.
What happened to you? Were you beaten?
Why don't you answer? What did you do to this man?
They didn't do nothing.
- Who beat you? - Nobody beat me.
We were pIaying pinochIe. It's a rough game.
Pardon me, sir. Since you want us to speak up.
A man was removed from this barracks Iast night.
We'd appreciate you Iooking into it, if they haven't shot him yet.
- Why was he arrested? - Sabotage. He bIew up a train.
They'd have to prove that first.
The Geneva Convention says you can't just shoot a man.
I didn't do it! I didn't do it!
Of course you did. 26 carIoads of munition gone off Iike a trick cigar.
The SS is running around in circIes.
The Gestapo is arresting the wrong peopIe.
And von Scherbach has caught the fish. Most amusing, isn't it?
You are being rude again.
I just want to sIeep.
9.30. GeneraI von Pfeffinger wiII be at his desk by now.
ShaII we caII BerIin and teII him the good news?
I didn't do it.
I hope you appreciate this moment, Lieutenant.
You see, I'm a cavaIry man. AII the von Scherbachs were cavaIry men.
WeII, you know what happened to the cavaIry.
Just give me five minutes on that couch, wiII you?
The young ones they put into the panzer divisions.
The oIder ones in the quartermaster corps
or made them recruiting officers or wardens, Iike me.
Wet nurses to putrid prisoners.
In BerIin they have forgotten that CoIoneI von Scherbach even exists.
But they wiII remember now.
WeII... There wiII be two SS men here tomorrow to take you to BerIin.
You wiII be interrogated by the GeneraI Staff.
When it comes to the part about your arrest,
I'm sure you won't forget to give me the proper credit.
I just want to sIeep. I haven't sIept in three days.
You wiII remember the name. Scherbach, von Scherbach.
WeII, Herr Inspektor, how did you find the camp?
Crowded, but ''gemutlich'', shaII we say?
I want to taIk about Lieutenant Dunbar.
- Is this Lieutenant Dunbar? - It is.
What exactIy is he charged with?
Whatever it is, it's out of your jurisdiction.
This man is not a prisoner of war. Not any more. He's a saboteur.
He's a prisoner of war untiI you can prove sabotage.
I didn't do it. I was in the Frankfurt station.
The train was three miIes away when it bIew up.
You threw a time bomb.
How couId I have had a time bomb?
They searched me when they took me prisoner.
The way you search your prisoners, it sounds rather unIikeIy.
AII I know is he did it. I am satisfied.
I am not! According to the Geneva Convention this man...
Is there anything in the Geneva Convention that wiII Iet a guy sIeep?
- You were saying? - SimpIy this.
After the hostiIities are ended, there wiII be a War Crimes Commission.
If the man shouId be convicted without proper proof,
you wiII be heId responsibIe, Oberst von Scherbach.
- Interesting. - Isn't it!
Very weII. If you insist on detaiIs
I have ways of finding out about that bIasted time bomb.
Good day, sir. You wiII forgive me for receiving you Iike this.
PerfectIy aII right. I do not Iike boots.
I beIieve it. I beIieve it.
Let's have your dogtags for the Christmas tree.
What's the idea? You think can eat that stuff?
We're buiIding a smudge pot so Patton can find us when he comes.
20 parts of ceIIuIose, one part phosphorous. Watch.
He'II be abIe to see our smoke signaI four miIes away.
But Patton is 400 miIes away.
- WeII, I say, be prepared. - OK, boy scout.
Look what we've got!
- The phonograph! - Music!
Put it down here, boys.
We made a deaI with Barracks 1 .
- Now, where's that distiIIery? - Over here, boys.
Let's have that distiIIery.
Come on, we swapped it for the phonograph. Any objections, Sefton?
Take it.
Hey, Price. Any news on Dunbar?
He's stiII at the Kommandant's office, that's aII I know. Don't worry.
This kid's too good for me.
Let's see how good he is. Same stakes?
Sure. Go ahead.
That's not bad.
- Where did you Iearn your pitching? - From the farmer's daughter.
Something I was meaning to ask you about security.
Shoot.
We're having a tough time keeping stuff hidden from the Krauts,
Iike our escape equipment. We're aIways Iooking for new devices.
- Looks Iike you found one. - Me?
I mean the Lieutenant. He hid a time bomb on him, right?
He even carried it through prisoner's search, didn't he?
- Where did he hide it? - In his pocket.
- The oId cigarette-match gag. - What's that?
You take a book of matches, Iight a cigarette, sIip it in.
The cigarette takes about three minutes to burn down.
Then it sets off the matches. SimpIe.
Some time bomb.
Hey, that's a ringer.
Don't forget the corkscrew.
- And have a cigar. - Thanks.
Here's a present for you, Joey. Take it. Take it.
It's Christmas, Joey.
''Merry Christmas to Joey from the Gang.''
Open it.
I'II open it for you.
Come on, Joey, pIay.
Air raid! Air raid! Everybody out of the barracks!
- Not on Christmas Eve! - For your own good, you must get out.
- And put out those candIes. - Let's hit the trenches.
- I'II bet it's a phoney again. - The Pentagon wiII hear about this.
- Get out. - I'm not reaIIy buiIt for war.
Get out. Everybody in the trenches. Quick.
Hey, what's the matter with you?
- You want to get kiIIed? - Not particuIarIy.
Hey, you two. Outside with you!
Must you two aIways be the Iast?
Yeah? You try jumping in those trenches first.
Everybody jumps in on top of you.
- How do you think I got my hernia? - Go on, Iet's go.
So it got to be Christmas Day in StaIag 1 7.
If you ask me it was more Iike the 4th of JuIy
with aII the fireworks that were to go off and bust the camp wide open.
It started off innocentIy, with a party in every barracks.
Come on, AnimaI, Iet's trip the Iight fantastic.
Leave me aIone.
Don't cry over a dame that doesn't even know you're aIive.
Snap out of it!
There's a time in every man's Iife when he wants to be Ieft aIone.
So go away.
AII right, who wants the Queen of the May?
How about you, Handsome?
You Iook Iike Cary Grant. Want to dance with me?
I'd Iove to, Queenie, but one of the other girIs asked me first.
Goodbye, darIing. Bye.
Any cigars Ieft, Cookie?
Come on, Cookie, get me a cigar.
What's the matter? Are you on their team now?
Do you think I'm the guy?
I don't know what to think any more.
I understand how you feeI.
It's sort of rough, one American squeaIing on other Americans.
Then again, Cookie, maybe that stooIie's not an American at aII.
Maybe he's a German the Krauts pIanted in this barracks.
They do that sometimes.
Just put an agent in with us, a trained speciaIist.
There's Iots of Ioose information fIoating around a prison camp.
Not just whether somebody's trying to escape,
but what outfit we were with,
where we were stationed, how our radar operates.
- CouId be, couIdn't it? - In this barracks?
Why not? One of the boys. Sharing our bunks, eating our chow.
Right amongst those that beat me up. Except he beat hardest.
- Who is it? - That's not the point, Cookie.
The point is what do you do with him?
You tip your mitt and the Jerries pIant him in some pIace eIse
Iike StaIag 16 or 1 5.
Or you kiII him off and the Krauts kiII off the whoIe barracks.
Every one of us.
So what do you do?
Who is it? If you don't want to teII me, why don't you teII Hoffy, or Security?
Yeah...Security.
What's keeping Hoffy? Why don't we get news about Dunbar?
He'II be back. They've got no proof.
Come on, boys. Soft and sweet.
BeguiIe me.
Betty...
Betty!
- May I have this dance, Miss? - Why, sure.
Pinch me, darIing. Pinch me, so I'II know I'm not dreaming.
Thank you, darIing.
Did anyone ever teII you that you had the most beautifuI Iegs in the worId?
But it's not just your Iegs. I'm crazy about that IittIe nose of yours.
That cute IittIe button of a nose.
Hey, AnimaI! AnimaI!
I've been crazy about you for years.
I've seen every picture you ever made...six times!
I'd just sit there, watching you.
I wouIdn't even open up the popcorn bag.
AnimaI! AnimaI! Wake up! Wake up!
Betty! Betty!
AnimaI, this is me, Harry Shapiro!
Harry Shapiro!
Harry...
Cut the music. Cut the music! Cut it!
At ease! At ease! Somebody cover the doors.
Listen! The SS men are here for Dunbar. They're taking him to BerIin.
- They got proof. Looks Iike he's finished. - OnIy not quite yet.
Hoffy and I have figured a Iong shot. AII the barracks are behind us.
What are you gonna do?
BIondie, get that smudge pot. Tie it to Steve's Ieg.
I want everybody out. We need a Iot of commotion in the compound.
I'II get the men from the other barracks.
You think you can snatch Dunbar from the SS?
We're gonna make a stab at it. Duke, Price, Stosh, Harry,
meet at the north Iatrine. You'II aII get your posts.
Now everybody start drifting out, one by one.
Easy boys, easy. Disperse out there niceIy.
Remember, just because the Krauts are dumb, it doesn't mean they're stupid.
- Ready? - Roger.
OK, move out.
I don't know what your scheme is, but it sounds crazy.
It may be crazy, but it's better than having Dunbar dead.
I guess you're right. How about me going out and keeping SchuIz off baIance?
- Good. - I'd worry about Sefton, not SchuIz.
- Remember me? The stooIie. - You won't squeaI this one, brother.
No? Aren't you afraid to turn the stooIie Ioose on the compound?
For a tip-off Iike this, what wouId the Krauts pay?
You'II stay in the barracks, and not a peep out of you!
OK, put a guard on me. I want you to.
Because if anything goes wrong, this time you won't have a patsy. Right?
Right.
So, who's gonna watch me? Cookie? No, not Cookie.
WouIdn't you feeI safer with Security on the job?
- OK, Price, you'II stay here. - What about SchuIz?
We'II take care of SchuIz. Come on. You, too.
That's the boy, Joey. PIay us a IittIe something.
What do you want to hear, Price? ''Home On The Range''?
Or maybe a IittIe Wagner?
Or how about a game of pinochIe?
No, you're not a pinochIe man.
You're a chess pIayer.
I never knew much about the game.
Now, Iet's see.
A pawn moves this way, and a bishop this way...
...and the queen moves... every which way, doesn't it?
Suppose you sit down and keep your mouth shut!
I went to schooI with a guy named Price. That was in Boston.
- You're from CIeveIand, aren't you? - Yeah, I'm from CIeveIand.
I thought that was what you said. You're from CIeveIand.
- You were with the 36th Bomb Group? - 35th.
The 366th Bomb Squadron out of CheIveston?
Are you questioning me?
Just getting acquainted. I'd Iike to make one friend in this barracks.
Don't bother. I never Iiked you and I never wiII.
Many peopIe say that and then they get married,
and Iive happiIy ever after.
I wonder what they're trying to do.
Where was Dunbar? The Krauts went crazy Iooking for him.
They herded us out, put extra machine guns on us and gave us a picture check.
You know, checking our dogtags and our pans against their index fiIe.
Nobody except Hoffy knew where Dunbar was hidden. And he wouIdn't teII us.
The Krauts searched under the barracks, on the roofs,
even the Kommandant's bathroom, but no Dunbar.
Then they threw tear gas bombs into the barracks
in case he was hiding up in the rafters.
Then they made us stand for six hours out there
untiI von Scherbach came out and gave us his uItimatum.
If Dunbar didn't come out by next morning,
he'd tear down the whoIe compound, stick by stick.
and if we sIept in the mud for the rest of our Iives, that was OK by him.
He couIdn't figure how a guy couId disappear from the compound
and stiII be there. But Dunbar was there aII right.
He sure was there.
Let's have it understood. This wiII be a rough deaI. But we've got no choice.
One of us wiII take Dunbar out of the camp tonight.
We'II draw one dogtag to see who does the job.
The Krauts are expecting it and they've put on extra guards.
Now, if anybody wants to withdraw, speak up.
Then we're aII in on it.
Everybody but Joey, and you know who.
AII right, who's the Iucky one?
Let me do it, Hoffy.
- You want to go? - No, I just want to draw.
OK, draw.
Let's caII this my tag. I'II take him out.
No voIunteers. We're aII in on it.
You eIected me Security. The way things have been going
I've done a poor job and want to make it up. Am I asking too much?
We've aII done a poor job.
I stiII say this is my tag. Any objections, Hoffy?
- Any objections? - Not from me.
- He can have it. - Who are we to argue with a hero?
- How about me Iatching on? - Three's a crowd
especiaIIy if you've got to go through barbed wire.
Let's have the wire cutters.
- Are the civiIian cIothes ready? - Coming up.
Get to work on the trap door.
What do you say, Hoffy? We hit the trenches
then cut out back at Barracks 9?
You'd better cut out back of the south Iatrine.
- Why the south Iatrine? - Because he's there. In the water tank.
Good spot.
With any Iuck we may be in Krems by morning.
Maybe even catch a barge up to Linz.
Two packs of cigarettes say Dunbar never gets out of the compound.
Are you starting that again?
- Anybody cover? - Somebody step on that crum.
- We warned you. - Sure you warned me.
You were gonna sIit the throat of that stooIie.
Here's the knife to do it with.
- Make sure you get the right throat. - We're Iooking at it.
Hurry up on that trap door. Are you trying to gum up the works?
WouId you rather see Dunbar Iying in the mud Iike Manfredi and Jonson?
My hands were fuII keeping these guys from tearing you apart.
I caIIed it Iast time, didn't I?
Are we going to Iisten to him untiI the Germans find out where Dunbar is?
They know where Dunbar is.
- How do they know? - You toId them, Hoffy.
- Who did? - You did.
- Are you off your rocker? - FeII right on my head.
- Sprechen Sie Deutsch? - No, I don't ''Sprechen Sie Deutsch. ''
Maybe just one word? Kaputt?
- Because you're kaputt! - Get him out of my hair so I can go.
To the Kommandant's office and teII him where Dunbar is?
I'II kiII you for that!
Shut up! Security officer? AIways screening everybody.
But who screened you? Great American hero, from CIeveIand, Ohio,
enIisted right after PearI Harbour. When was PearI Harbour or don't you know?
December 7th, '41 .
- What time? - Six o'cIock. I was having dinner.
Six o'cIock in BerIin. They were having Iunch in CIeveIand.
- Am I boring you, boys? - Go on.
He's a Nazi, Price is! For aII I know, his name is Preissinger or Preisshoffer.
Sure he Iived in CIeveIand, but when war broke out
he came back to the FatherIand Iike a good IittIe Bundist.
He spoke our Iingo.
They sent him to spy schooI and gave him with phoney dogtags.
He's just trying to get off the hook!
- He said, ''shut up''. - You heard what he said.
OK, Herr Preisshoffer, Iet's have the maiIbox.
The what?
The one you took out from the corner of your bunk and put in this pocket.
I'II show you how they did it.
They did it by maiI.
- MaiI? - That's right.
LittIe Iove notes between our security officer and von Scherbach
with SchuIz the maiIman.
Here's the fIag.
They used to put a Ioop in the cord. Did you ever notice?
And here's the maiIboxes. HoIIow bIack queens.
Cute.
They deIivered or picked up the maiI when we were out of the barracks,
Iike for appeII.
When there was a speciaI deIivery they'd puII a phoney air raid,
to get us out, Iike Iast night, for instance.
There wasn't a pIane in the sky. Or was there, Price?
Brother, were we aII wet about you?
Forget it.
What are we gonna do with him?
Don't you know? Because I got my own ideas.
Let's have that civiIian stuff.
I'II Iook pretty stupid in this, yodeIIing my way across the AIps.
Now, Iet's have the wire cutters.
- You taking Dunbar? - You bet!
There ought to be some reward money from Mama. About 1 0,000 bucks.
I toId you boys I'm no escape artist.
For the first time, I Iike the odds, because now I got a decoy.
- What's the decoy? - Price!
When I go, give me exactIy five minutes to get Dunbar out of that water tank.
Then throw Price into the compound, nice and Ioud.
He'II draw every Iight from every goon tower.
It's our onIy chance to cut through.
What do you say, Barracks Chief?
He's right, Hoffy, it's either Price or Dunbar.
He kiIIed Jonson and Manfredi, didn't he?
It's aII yours.
What's the matter, Price?
You said you were going to save Dunbar? Now's your chance.
So Iong, Cookie. You can have the department store, what's Ieft of it.
So Iong, Sefton.
You're not disposing of those Russian broads, are you?
TeII you what to do. Get 1 00 cigarettes for the Kraut guards.
Then get yourseIf another face.
You couId use a new one too.
Let's synchronise the watches. It's 1 1 .42 sharp.
Check.
Just one word. If I ever run into any of you on a street corner,
Iet's pretend we never met before.
Shut up the moaning. You'II have the machine guns on us.
- Turn it off, Lieutenant. - My Iegs are...frozen.
You'd better get that bIue bIood circuIating
'cause we're busting out of this stink hoIe
in exactIy one minute and 20 seconds.
Sefton!
- Did you expect a St. Bernard dog? - Not you!
- Want some brandy? - Yeah.
Who doesn't? Suppose we wait tiII we hit the WaIdorf Astoria?
- OK. It's on me. - You won't get off that cheap.
What are our chances of busting out of here?
We'II know in about 40 seconds.
HoId his Ieg up.
Just in case your Kameraden are hard-of-hearing.
30 seconds. Get him up.
Stop shaking, Price. There'II be no pardon from no governor.
Funny, ain't it? In your own FatherIand, by your own Soldaten.
The kid's got no sense of humour.
20 seconds. Open the hatch.
What's the matter with you, Security? You were aIways so caIm.
EspeciaIIy when you Iet Manfredi and Jonson go out there.
Eight seconds, seven, six, five, four,
three, two, one, go!
This is it!
- Let's bIow, Chauncey. - Let's.
AII right, men. Everybody back in their bunks...Iike nothing happened.
What do you know? The crud did it.
I'd Iike to know what made him do it.
Maybe he just wanted to steaI our wire cutters.
Did you ever think of that?
