Patton1970

[on having his operations delayed, in favor of advances by Field Marshall Montgomery]

Patton:
If you won't let me kill the enemy, why did you pick me to command?

Bradley:
I didn't pick you! Ike picked you. George, you have reformed brilliantly. You are loyal, dedicated — you're one of the best field commanders I've got — but you don't know when to shut up, George! You’re a pain in the neck.

Patton:
I have a lot of faults Brad, but ingratitude isn't one of them. I owe you a lot. Hell, I know I'm a prima donna — I admit it! What I can't stand about Monty is he won't admit it.
