A Bridge Too Far1977

Brigadier General Gavin:
What's the best way to take a bridge?

Maj. Julian Cook:
Both ends at once.

Brigadier General Gavin:
I'm sending two companies across the river by boat. I need a man with very special qualities to lead.

Maj. Julian Cook:
Go on, sir.

Brigadier General Gavin:
He's got to be tough enough to do it and he's got to be experienced enough to do it. Plus one more thing. He's got to be dumb enough to do it... Start getting ready.

U.S. captain:
What was all that about, Major?

Maj. Julian Cook:
Well someone's come up with a real nightmare. Real nightmare.
