General Colt:
This man is the man I have my mind on today and I'll tell you who he is: this is my opposite number, General Bogle, commanding the 2nd German Armor Division. Now I look at that face, I can read that character... this guy's a loser. Here I am sitting in his headquarters, I'm drinking his scotch... hell, I even got one of his broads hanging around here somewheres. The guy's a born loser... but you gentleman have not buried him yet. Now you call yourselves leaders of men?

Major Roach:
They're putting up strong resistance, General.

General Colt:
Aw, c'mon, Roach, I flew over the battlefield this morning; why, I could march a divisional dress parade with band music right through the middle of their lines!

Major Roach:
Well, what about our flanks, sir?

General Colt:
Aw, the hell with your flanks, Roach, how many times have I gotta tell ya forget about your flanks, willya?

Major:
Sir, there's still half a panzer division between here and Nancy...

General Colt:
Without gas. Without gas, gentlemen.

Colonel Booker:
Oh, they're getting gas, sir, it's coming up at night.

General Colt:
How?

Colonel Booker:
By truck.

General Colt:
The Air Force has got my orders to blow every bridge in this sector out of existence.

Colonel Booker:
Yes, sir, and they're doing it. And the Germans, they're rebuilding the bridges every night.

General Colt:
Well, we're supposed to be blowing 'em up again in the daytime. Captain, get me those aerial photographs.

Captain Jablonski:
Right, sir.

Major Roach:
General, last night someone gave orders to redirect our mortar fire against some damn crossroads.

General Colt:
Listen, Roach, I don't want any excuses outta you, ya hear me? All I want is to know why this loser of a general is keeping me the hell out of Nancy.

Major Roach:
Sir, we haven't got the supplies - it's just a matter of logistics.

General Colt:
Logistics?

Major Roach:
Yes, sir.

General Colt:
We got logistics comin' out of our ears! What we need is fighting spirit. The will to win! Where are those aerial photographs?

Captain Jablonski:
[Rummaging around for the photos] I'm sorry, sir, they don't seem to be here.

General Colt:
They don't what?

Captain Jablonski:
[Still looking for the pictures] I can't locate them, Sir.

General Colt:
Hey. [CPT Jablonski looks at Colt] Did you lose my aerial photographs?
