List of voters for the quote

Hauptfeldwebel Strachwitz: What are you doing over here by the wire? Hilts: Well, like I told Max here, I was trying to get my... German Soldier: Achtung! [Von Luger enters] Von Luger: What were you doing by the wire? Hilts: Well, like I told Max... I was trying to cut my way through your wire because I want to get out. Von Luger: Suche ihn. Hilts: Bitte. [Before Strachwitz can search him, Hilts produces his wire-cutters and hands them over to Von Luger] Von Luger: You speak German? Hilts: Jawohl, Herr Oberst. Von Luger: Wire cutters? Hilts: Jawohl, Herr Oberst. Von Luger: I have had the pleasure of knowing quite a few British officers in this war. And I flatter myself that we understand one another. [In the gathered crowd of prisoners nearby, Flying Officer Ives blows a raspberry, visibly irritating Strachwitz and Von Luger.] You are the first American officer I have met. Hilts, isn't it? Hilts: Captain Hilts, actually. Von Luger: Seventeen escape attempts. Hilts: Eighteen, sir. Von Luger: A tunnel man, engineer. Hilts: Flier. Von Luger: I suppose what's called in the American Army, "A hotshot pilot." Unfortunately, you were shot down anyway. So we are both grounded for the duration of the war. Hilts: You speak for yourself, Colonel. Von Luger: You have other plans? Hilts: I haven't seen Berlin yet. From the ground, or from the air. And I plan on doing both before the war's over. Von Luger: Are all American officers so ill-mannered? Hilts: Yeah, about 99 percent. Von Luger: Then perhaps while you are with us you will have a chance to learn some. Ten days isolation, Hilts. Hilts: Captain Hilts. Von Luger: Twenty days. Hilts: Right. Oh, uh, you'll still be here when I get out? Von Luger: [visibly annoyed] Cooler!
