1
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:05,990
Well, I'm in the States for a month on a
war bond selling tour.

2
00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:09,430
The war may be over in Europe, but we
still have the Japs to lick.

3
00:02:10,509 --> 00:02:13,210
And our boys will do it, too, with your
bonds and their blood.

4
00:02:14,910 --> 00:02:17,290
Will you be joining General MacArthur in
the Pacific?

5
00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:21,770
Oh, I've been appointed pro -consul of
Bavaria. But would you like to go to the

6
00:02:21,770 --> 00:02:23,910
Pacific? Yes, I'd love to go and fight
the Japanese.

7
00:02:26,790 --> 00:02:28,250
Mrs. Patton, Mrs.

8
00:02:28,770 --> 00:02:30,970
Patton, how long has it been since
you've seen the General?

9
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Two years and seven months.

10
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:39,000
When he left, he told me he thought he'd
die fighting. It seems a miracle that

11
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,240
he's back, even if it is just for a
short leave.

12
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,260
How long have you and the General been
married?

13
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:45,580
Thirty -five years.

14
00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:49,060
Oh, General Patton, sir, could you...
General Patton, sir, could you tell our

15
00:02:49,060 --> 00:02:51,060
readers your secret for a long and happy
marriage?

16
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Well, to begin with, you have to start
off with marrying the right person.

17
00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:59,000
I asked her what Beatrice got out of the
bargain. I'll have to ask her. I think

18
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
she cheated me.

19
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,380
I seem wicked somehow to cause such a
wonderful girl.

20
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:07,060
who love such a person.

21
00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:12,860
We're saved in the passion by what we
love, and in that condition, I've always

22
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:14,520
been a very, very lucky man.

23
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,460
Mrs. Patton, does the general talk in
his sleep?

24
00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:19,780
No.

25
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:23,220
But if he ever does, I'll give him my
undivided attention.

26
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,660
Mrs. Patton, as the wife of the famous
general who is frequently in the

27
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:33,480
headlines for being outspoken, Do you
have anything to say to the American

28
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,180
press? Be careful now, Pete.

29
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,520
I respect all that is fair and
courageous to the press.

30
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,080
I would only ask you to understand that
my husband is a tough perfectionist.

31
00:03:45,460 --> 00:03:47,120
General, would you give us a statement?

32
00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:51,940
Gentlemen, I'm a soldier, first and
last. I'm not a politician, not a

33
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:52,940
not a statesman.

34
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,260
And I make no alibis for the things that
I say.

35
00:03:57,420 --> 00:03:58,680
Now, if you'll forgive me.

36
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,980
My family and I are leaving for
California. I want to pay a visit to my

37
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:07,400
church in San Gabriel and give thanks to
God before I go back to Germany.

38
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:26,230
Who's in charge here?

39
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:28,490
Where's the commandant?

40
00:05:30,130 --> 00:05:31,430
Let that colonel through.

41
00:05:41,110 --> 00:05:42,690
This is the famous SS.

42
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:45,290
The elite of the German army.

43
00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:48,310
Yes, you understand me.

44
00:05:49,170 --> 00:05:50,810
Pull yourself together, colonel.

45
00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:53,450
The appearance of you and your men is a
disgrace.

46
00:05:54,170 --> 00:05:56,350
You look like a bunch of vagrants at a
convention of traps.

47
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:59,950
By tomorrow, I want you cleaned up and
ready for inspection.

48
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:03,730
You're going to have a little spit and
polish around here. You ought to be

49
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:04,990
ashamed of yourself.

50
00:06:05,910 --> 00:06:06,910
They're standing!

51
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:20,690
I'm going to use the POWs.

52
00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:22,330
For what?

53
00:06:22,430 --> 00:06:23,430
For work.

54
00:06:24,630 --> 00:06:27,930
We have no advisories authorizing their
use.

55
00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:30,670
What the hell with the advisories? We
need woodcut.

56
00:06:31,150 --> 00:06:34,790
Every family should have enough wood to
heat at least one room throughout the

57
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:36,930
winter. The POW's got it.

58
00:07:50,890 --> 00:07:52,790
I saw your dad in the state. I sent him
to the vet.

59
00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:54,510
I didn't see him, did I?

60
00:07:54,730 --> 00:07:56,250
I'm just going to say a few words to the
boy.

61
00:08:02,550 --> 00:08:08,670
All right, break ranks. Everybody come
up around here. Gather around here where

62
00:08:08,670 --> 00:08:09,369
I can see you.

63
00:08:09,370 --> 00:08:10,790
You can hear me. You are awful.

64
00:08:20,620 --> 00:08:21,820
Well, we've got a big job here.

65
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:25,480
Feeding and housing displaced Germans.

66
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:28,600
Getting a decent government going.

67
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,740
And it's not going to be easy. Keeping
the peace is a battle, too.

68
00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:38,140
When war is over, you just don't sit
back on your fannies and stop fighting.

69
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:41,140
and peace are two sides of the same
coin.

70
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,500
You've got to be prepared to squash the
next little wallpaper hanger that comes

71
00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:49,680
along. That's why most people don't seem
to understand.

72
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:51,300
about preparedness.

73
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,560
They think that we've vanquished the
last tyrant on Earth.

74
00:08:56,340 --> 00:08:58,360
Well, they're wrong.

75
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:03,180
Every generation breeds new ones.

76
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,420
In time of peace, prepare for war.

77
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,840
Those aren't my words, gentlemen.

78
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,520
Those are the words of General George
Washington.

79
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,820
Thank you. Carry on.

80
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,840
Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce General
Platt.

81
00:09:34,660 --> 00:09:36,000
Be seated, please, gentlemen.

82
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:41,740
As you know, I've been appointed
military governor of Bavaria.

83
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:47,200
That means that I am responsible for the
welfare of the entire civilian

84
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,200
population.

85
00:09:48,820 --> 00:09:50,420
Now, we have a lot of problems here.

86
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:55,160
Food, clothing, medicine, fuel, in
short, survival.

87
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:59,280
In my estimation, this issue takes
precedent.

88
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,920
over purging local governments of minor
officials who have been accused, without

89
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,720
proof, of paying lip service to the Nazi
Party.

90
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:16,080
Now, you people are here today because
you are the men who run Bavaria.

91
00:10:17,020 --> 00:10:18,480
You know how to get the job done.

92
00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:24,800
All I can say about that is that
whatever your past affiliations, if you

93
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,980
well, you will keep your jobs.

94
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:30,430
Which of you is Minister President
Schaefer?

95
00:10:31,870 --> 00:10:33,010
I am, General.

96
00:10:33,910 --> 00:10:37,790
Dr. Schaefer, there are those in the
American government who believe that the

97
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:39,190
German economy should be broken.

98
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:41,150
Needless to say, I'm not one of them.

99
00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:48,770
But I want you and your cabinet to put
Bavaria on its feet before winter. If it

100
00:10:48,770 --> 00:10:51,430
is not, you will answer to me.

101
00:10:52,690 --> 00:10:53,690
Yes, General.

102
00:10:54,730 --> 00:10:55,970
Thank you, gentlemen. That's all.

103
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:21,340
Excuse me, General, but these just came
in.

104
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:22,740
What are they?

105
00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:24,560
This one is civilian hospitals.

106
00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:26,480
This is fuel availability.

107
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:27,960
This is water supply.

108
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:29,640
Here's railroads.

109
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,680
This one's electric power.

110
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,600
These require signatures.

111
00:11:34,020 --> 00:11:36,900
Clear. Oh, and this is the redeployment
policy.

112
00:11:37,380 --> 00:11:38,660
That'll be all. Thank you, Lieutenant.

113
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:40,680
Sorry, sir.

114
00:12:10,239 --> 00:12:12,240
Sir, it's General Bedell Smith on the
phone.

115
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:14,040
That's what I was afraid of.

116
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,520
Yes, Bedell.

117
00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:25,480
Well, I'm carrying out Ike's orders as
fast as I can.

118
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:30,240
I don't care about the professor's
report.

119
00:12:31,540 --> 00:12:32,540
Yes, I'm ready.

120
00:12:34,190 --> 00:12:38,390
My concern here is to get enough wood to
keep people from freezing to death this

121
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:41,570
winter, not to kick out every little
file clerk who said Heil Hitler.

122
00:12:43,530 --> 00:12:44,530
Uh,

123
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:52,010
Beadle, it took me 40 weeks to conquer
this part of Germany. Now, it's going to

124
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:55,710
take a reasonable amount of time to
replace all the officials who were

125
00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:57,910
You can't do it overnight, huh?

126
00:13:02,050 --> 00:13:04,850
Even if it means turning the local
government into a shambles?

127
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:47,740
With reference to the promotion system,
I see no reason why... Georgie, what can

128
00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:48,519
I do for you?

129
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,760
Nothing. I just want to get rid of these
lousy cigars. I'm going to stop smoking

130
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,739
them. Good.

131
00:13:52,740 --> 00:13:53,740
You can have them.

132
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,520
Where was that?

133
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:07,040
With reference to the promotion system,
I see no reason... I see no...

134
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,960
George!

135
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,490
George, are you okay?

136
00:14:24,330 --> 00:14:25,430
Sure, I'm fine.

137
00:14:26,570 --> 00:14:29,230
I suppose you heard that my transfer to
the Pacific is out.

138
00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:31,670
You just might still go to China.

139
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:33,470
I doubt it.

140
00:14:34,070 --> 00:14:36,870
Unless Doug MacArthur steps on a
landmine.

141
00:14:37,790 --> 00:14:39,910
Let's face it, he's the one who's
pulling the strings.

142
00:14:40,390 --> 00:14:41,970
He just doesn't want the competition.

143
00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:43,450
Yeah.

144
00:14:43,950 --> 00:14:46,510
Two from Adonis is one too many.

145
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:49,930
Now I got Beetle Smith on my back.

146
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,840
Apparently he speaks Reich nowadays.

147
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,180
According to the Beatle, Ike is unhappy
with my efforts at denazifying this

148
00:14:58,180 --> 00:15:01,240
place. He wants a clean sweep now.

149
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:04,440
Everyone with any Nazi affiliation is
out of his butt.

150
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:09,720
That means I'm supposed to fire the
entire Schaefer cabinet and refill it

151
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520
displaced Jews and communists who don't
know anything about running the country.

152
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:14,419
Well, to hell with it.

153
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:17,580
Every civil servant in Germany paid
homage to the party.

154
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,640
If he didn't, he was out of a job.

155
00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:20,860
I think it's stupid.

156
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:22,420
I'm going to drag my feet as long as I
can.

157
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,920
Watch out for Beetle.

158
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,080
He's like the official hatchet man.

159
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:28,880
He's some bitch, that's what he is.

160
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:05,540
General Eisenhower, General Smith has
arrived.

161
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,240
It's about time. Send him in. Yes, sir.

162
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:14,940
You may go in, General.

163
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,360
You're late.

164
00:16:18,740 --> 00:16:22,220
Sorry, I... Okay, let's have it.

165
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,620
Is he going to follow my directive or
not?

166
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,760
He says he needs more time. More time.

167
00:16:28,460 --> 00:16:29,720
An order is an order.

168
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,780
What's the American army doing in
Germany if not to rid the administration

169
00:16:33,780 --> 00:16:34,780
Nazis?

170
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,140
George calls them ex -Nazis. Bull!

171
00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:40,040
They're Nazis in my book.

172
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:44,880
How many of them does George have in key
positions?

173
00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:48,160
Schaefer's the main one, and there are
20 under him.

174
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Twenty?

175
00:16:50,140 --> 00:16:53,640
He's also got a whole entourage of Nazis
on his household staff.

176
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,620
You know, I... It seems to me that...

177
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,620
With the chief of staff job coming up in
Washington, wind of this could become a

178
00:17:02,620 --> 00:17:04,160
stumbling block to your appointment.

179
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,800
It all reflects back on you, you know.

180
00:17:09,540 --> 00:17:13,440
I should have sent George home after he
slapped that soldier in Sicily.

181
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:19,420
We believe that two in his household are
with the Nazi secret service, which is

182
00:17:19,420 --> 00:17:20,420
still operating.

183
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,920
I'm going to go talk with him. Have this
out.

184
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:25,839
I'll fly to Munich tomorrow.

185
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,720
You want to come?

186
00:17:29,220 --> 00:17:30,220
No, I better not.

187
00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:32,520
George hates my guts.

188
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600
You going riding this morning, General?

189
00:17:45,340 --> 00:17:46,340
Uh, yes.

190
00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:49,300
What would you like for breakfast?

191
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,960
Oh, just orange juice.

192
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:56,600
How long you been with me, George?

193
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,220
Not a year, sir.

194
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,440
And what do I always have for breakfast?

195
00:18:00,940 --> 00:18:01,940
Just orange juice.

196
00:18:02,180 --> 00:18:03,180
Anything else?

197
00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:04,299
No, sir.

198
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,500
Then why in hell do you ask me every
morning what I want for breakfast?

199
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:09,320
More than I don't ask.

200
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,560
The more you ask for ham and eggs.

201
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,920
These are magnificent animals.

202
00:18:23,420 --> 00:18:24,900
Well, they come from France.

203
00:18:26,570 --> 00:18:27,610
How did you come by them?

204
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:30,450
Well, Baron, you might say the Third
Army liberated them.

205
00:18:31,790 --> 00:18:32,790
I see.

206
00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:35,470
Bad.

207
00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:40,430
Almost every boy in America knows how to
run a car, but very few of them

208
00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:44,190
understand anything about horses. I
suppose they think that horses run on

209
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:45,190
gasoline.

210
00:18:46,550 --> 00:18:51,670
I guess if you have to govern Bavaria,
this is a good place to do it from.

211
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,520
I have no animosity towards professional
soldiers like yourself who fought

212
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,520
against me.

213
00:19:04,660 --> 00:19:06,320
I'm grateful to hear that, General.

214
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:09,720
Well, I enjoy our talk.

215
00:19:10,940 --> 00:19:14,800
It's been a revelation to meet an
American general who is informed about

216
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:15,980
Communist aim in Europe.

217
00:19:17,300 --> 00:19:18,700
I'm informed, all right.

218
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,420
Trouble is, most of my rubber -legged
colleagues are scared to death of

219
00:19:22,420 --> 00:19:24,120
offending the Bolsheviks.

220
00:19:24,780 --> 00:19:28,940
They think that treaties and votes will
keep the wolf at bay.

221
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:32,510
The fatherland must be saved.

222
00:19:33,310 --> 00:19:34,830
Germany will need a champion.

223
00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:37,350
I've done everything I can.

224
00:19:38,490 --> 00:19:41,830
There's never been a better chance of
producing a war as we have in Europe

225
00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:42,830
now.

226
00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:50,110
The German troops I'm holding and my own
men, I could push the Russians all

227
00:19:50,110 --> 00:19:51,110
the way back to Moscow.

228
00:20:42,380 --> 00:20:43,740
The old horse sleeper.

229
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,420
What's new down at the safe?

230
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,340
Oh, things are going very well.

231
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,320
I've gotten reports that conditions in
certain DP camps are deteriorating. So I

232
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,480
decided to come see for myself.

233
00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:02,860
And since this happened to be on the
way, well, I guess I just wanted to see

234
00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:03,860
you.

235
00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:06,720
Well, you know I'm always glad to see
you.

236
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,600
Georgie?

237
00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:12,590
How long do we know each other?

238
00:21:13,370 --> 00:21:14,630
28, 25 years.

239
00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:17,470
Let's see. Camp Cole, Pennsylvania?

240
00:21:18,770 --> 00:21:19,770
1918.

241
00:21:20,110 --> 00:21:21,790
My God, how young we were.

242
00:21:22,810 --> 00:21:24,450
Starting off into the unknown.

243
00:21:27,650 --> 00:21:28,910
You're my oldest friend.

244
00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:36,270
I remember once you told me you thought
your life and mine were under the

245
00:21:36,270 --> 00:21:39,050
protection of some supreme fate.

246
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,060
I didn't know that my life would largely
depend on you.

247
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:47,900
You could easily have forgotten me after
that incident in Sicily.

248
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:50,000
But you gave me Third Army instead.

249
00:21:51,140 --> 00:21:54,420
I claim an almost proprietary interest
in you, Georgie.

250
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,720
I have.

251
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,360
I have taken a lot of stands for you.

252
00:21:59,620 --> 00:22:01,160
I know you have. I'm grateful.

253
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,140
But friendship is one thing.

254
00:22:05,060 --> 00:22:07,180
Our professional relationship is
another.

255
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:15,320
As you know, I've announced a firm
policy for denazifying local

256
00:22:15,620 --> 00:22:16,860
Even if they fall apart?

257
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Yes, but they won't.

258
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,240
That's debatable.

259
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:22,580
Not anymore.

260
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,780
The debatable stage of the question long
past.

261
00:22:28,460 --> 00:22:33,060
Any opposition to the faithful execution
of my order will not be regarded

262
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:36,940
leniently by me, friend or no friend.

263
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,120
Yes, sir.

264
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Over here.

265
00:22:57,820 --> 00:22:58,820
Oh, that's good.

266
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:11,960
That's like going to sojourn.

267
00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:20,140
That's like going to sojourn.

268
00:23:49,870 --> 00:23:53,550
Tell us, General, do you think the
denazification program can be carried

269
00:23:53,550 --> 00:23:57,050
commanders who are temperamentally and
emotionally in disagreement with it?

270
00:23:58,290 --> 00:24:00,650
I don't think we have anyone like that.
Oh?

271
00:24:01,310 --> 00:24:02,930
What about General Patton?

272
00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:04,190
Isn't he opposed?

273
00:24:04,430 --> 00:24:05,430
No.

274
00:24:05,810 --> 00:24:09,730
General Smith, are you familiar with
General Patton's most recent statement

275
00:24:09,730 --> 00:24:12,690
Saturday? I'm not prepared to discuss
that now.

276
00:24:13,010 --> 00:24:15,370
Well, he said, and I quote...

277
00:24:16,010 --> 00:24:20,190
It is no more possible for a man to have
been a civil servant in Germany and not

278
00:24:20,190 --> 00:24:24,910
have paid lip service to Nazism than it
is for a man to be a postmaster in

279
00:24:24,910 --> 00:24:28,910
America and not have paid lip service to
the Democratic or Republican parties

280
00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:29,889
when in power.

281
00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:31,550
Do you agree with General Patton's
analogy?

282
00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:38,550
Miss McNulty, I'm sure General Patton
didn't mean to equate the Republican

283
00:24:38,550 --> 00:24:39,590
with the Nazi Party.

284
00:24:40,370 --> 00:24:41,590
Those are his own words.

285
00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:47,280
He also said... that he personally never
saw any necessity to denazify, since 98

286
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,680
% of the Nazis were pushed into it
anyway.

287
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:57,480
General Patton is a soldier and will
carry out his orders. General Smith, is

288
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,660
true that former Nazis are still holding
office in Bavaria?

289
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,600
As I said, General Patton will carry out
his orders.

290
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:16,460
of this canal in operation general.

291
00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:21,120
Transport between Munich and the
southern cities will be facilitated.

292
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,100
Barges with food and fuel will supply
hundreds of thousands in need.

293
00:25:47,690 --> 00:25:48,690
There, General.

294
00:25:48,990 --> 00:25:53,430
And we will have two more canals fully
repaired before winter. Good work,

295
00:25:53,530 --> 00:25:54,530
Doctor.

296
00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:55,630
Congratulate your people, Doctor.

297
00:25:56,450 --> 00:25:59,430
Whatever their sentiments a year ago,
they know how to get the work done.

298
00:26:00,530 --> 00:26:04,210
The Russians would have taken two years
to repair the locks.

299
00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:07,010
Then they would have had the water
running the wrong way.

300
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,200
good, General.

301
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,240
High praise coming from you.

302
00:26:32,140 --> 00:26:33,340
What's your other skill?

303
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,360
Baron, I'm an old saber -rattling
caravan from way back.

304
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:38,940
No one day.

305
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,560
You're looking good, George.

306
00:26:55,100 --> 00:26:57,900
The Baron's got a wicked attack.

307
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:18,740
Too bad you're not one of them pink old
journalists we had over here on

308
00:27:18,740 --> 00:27:21,240
Saturday. But without the baddest vest.

309
00:27:22,030 --> 00:27:23,550
More problems with the press, gentlemen?

310
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:27,810
Yes, the ragtag, bock -tailed remnants
of the great U .S. press.

311
00:27:28,770 --> 00:27:32,030
I don't get it.

312
00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:35,670
I used to have them on my side.

313
00:27:36,550 --> 00:27:37,550
Didn't I have them?

314
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:38,750
Always.

315
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:42,310
Now they try to provoke me, put words in
my mouth.

316
00:27:43,090 --> 00:27:44,730
They certainly did Saturday.

317
00:27:46,530 --> 00:27:48,530
I lost my temper, I should have known
better.

318
00:27:49,930 --> 00:27:50,930
What's that?

319
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,760
It's for Mike.

320
00:27:55,380 --> 00:27:56,400
Take it, right there.

321
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:10,360
So the Nazis are just like Republicans
and Democrats, George.

322
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,600
They twisted my words. I was trying to
make a point. Well, you made it all

323
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,480
right. To the New York Times, you've
created a major scandal.

324
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:17,840
I withdrew the remark.

325
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,340
Well, that'll do a lot of good now. Sit
down, George.

326
00:28:21,929 --> 00:28:23,890
George, the war was about Nazis.

327
00:28:24,170 --> 00:28:27,690
And for you to say they were just
another political party. That isn't what

328
00:28:27,690 --> 00:28:29,750
meant. These SS troops you're holding.

329
00:28:30,010 --> 00:28:31,010
What about them?

330
00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:33,290
You've got them drilling like they're
going into combat tomorrow.

331
00:28:33,950 --> 00:28:37,070
Well, they look like bombs. I'm trying
to give them back their self -respect.

332
00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:40,670
SS units don't need self -respect.

333
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:43,710
We don't want them to have self
-respect.

334
00:28:44,670 --> 00:28:47,950
Now, I don't believe this, but I've been
told.

335
00:28:48,750 --> 00:28:52,030
that you'd like nothing better than to
provoke a showdown with the Russians and

336
00:28:52,030 --> 00:28:55,210
combine those SS troops with your Third
Army. That's crazy.

337
00:28:55,710 --> 00:28:58,690
Crazy is right, but is it true? No, sir,
it is not.

338
00:28:59,330 --> 00:29:03,750
I have to admit, I wouldn't mind having
a crack at those Mongols.

339
00:29:04,050 --> 00:29:06,970
Those Mongols, those Russians are our
allies.

340
00:29:07,870 --> 00:29:11,490
I've said this to you a hundred times,
and you persist in these hostile

341
00:29:11,490 --> 00:29:13,370
statements. I disagree with you, that's
all.

342
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:17,410
You can't disagree with me. It's not a
matter of opinion.

343
00:29:17,670 --> 00:29:18,910
It's a matter of policy.

344
00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:21,330
You will carry out my policies.

345
00:29:24,170 --> 00:29:26,150
Now, about the Schaefer situation.

346
00:29:28,250 --> 00:29:29,470
That's under investigation.

347
00:29:30,110 --> 00:29:32,410
I appointed you administrator of
Bavaria.

348
00:29:32,970 --> 00:29:38,090
And you retained a minister president
who employs 20 Nazis in his cabinet. 20!

349
00:29:38,290 --> 00:29:39,350
Where did you get that information?

350
00:29:39,730 --> 00:29:43,310
Dorn. Professor Walter Dorn. He's our
expert on the Naziification.

351
00:29:43,710 --> 00:29:45,610
Probably a communist in disguise.

352
00:29:46,510 --> 00:29:48,190
I checked this out myself.

353
00:29:48,670 --> 00:29:53,570
This Schaefer has 16 Nazi friends in
agriculture and four in finance.

354
00:29:53,850 --> 00:29:57,630
All cases for mandatory removal under my
instructions.

355
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:03,310
I can't disrupt the administration of
Bavaria over some vague accusation.

356
00:30:03,850 --> 00:30:08,810
My Anglo -Saxon ancestry makes me
reluctant to remove people without due

357
00:30:08,810 --> 00:30:10,090
of law. Due process?

358
00:30:10,410 --> 00:30:11,990
I will carry out your wishes to the
letter.

359
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:13,410
Hand in spirit.

360
00:30:13,750 --> 00:30:14,750
Hand in spirit.

361
00:30:16,470 --> 00:30:19,030
How about this Bungenheim you ride with?

362
00:30:19,890 --> 00:30:22,730
Fine horseman. Won a gold medal in the
36th Olympics.

363
00:30:23,010 --> 00:30:24,530
He was a colonel in the SS.

364
00:30:24,870 --> 00:30:25,870
So I understand.

365
00:30:28,170 --> 00:30:29,910
And that's all you understand?

366
00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:32,810
Look, I realize that sometimes I'm a...

367
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,340
Political embarrassment to you.

368
00:30:35,980 --> 00:30:37,700
Bavaria is running like a clock.

369
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:38,900
I've got that place moving.

370
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,420
We're rebuilding, and we're going to be
on our feet before any other part of

371
00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:47,420
Germany. But if it is an embarrassment
to you, causing you problems about

372
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:48,960
getting into the White House... What did
you say?

373
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:52,000
I think you'd make a great president.
Oh, don't give me that crap! I can't pay

374
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:52,779
for it myself!

375
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:53,739
Shut up, George!

376
00:30:53,740 --> 00:30:57,140
Listen! If you think that what I've said
is motivated by personal interest,

377
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:58,380
you're badly mistaken.

378
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,160
And you're impugning my honor.

379
00:31:00,650 --> 00:31:03,130
There's nothing dishonorable about
seeking political office.

380
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:05,230
It's your mouth, George.

381
00:31:06,150 --> 00:31:09,190
You can't control it. You never could.
And I'll tell you something else.

382
00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:14,070
It's getting so bad that people think
there's something wrong with you.

383
00:31:18,030 --> 00:31:23,230
Now, I admire your good qualities, but
I've got to face facts.

384
00:31:25,330 --> 00:31:27,130
You're just no military governor.

385
00:31:31,530 --> 00:31:35,370
I believe it would be in your best
interests if you gave up command of the

386
00:31:35,370 --> 00:31:36,370
Army.

387
00:31:38,550 --> 00:31:39,590
You're relieving me?

388
00:31:40,950 --> 00:31:42,270
I'm transferring him.

389
00:31:44,830 --> 00:31:46,390
General Giroux is going home.

390
00:31:47,950 --> 00:31:50,670
I'm giving you command of the 15th Army
in Baden -Auen.

391
00:31:51,990 --> 00:31:53,190
The 15th?

392
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:56,250
It's a paper army. They're running the
history of the war.

393
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:58,590
That's no army. They never fired a shot.

394
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,680
No one has to fire any more shots,
George.

395
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:06,140
That's something you've got to
understand.

396
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,180
The war is over.

397
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:14,220
I admire you.

398
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,440
Your audacity.

399
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Your ability.

400
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:25,220
But those very qualities that made you
great in wartime are a pain in the neck

401
00:32:25,220 --> 00:32:26,220
in peacetime.

402
00:32:36,780 --> 00:32:40,260
Planning on spending the night. Of
course, you're welcome to stay with me,

403
00:32:40,260 --> 00:32:42,120
imagine you'd rather get home as soon as
possible.

404
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,520
Don't take too long. I won't. I'll join
you in three days.

405
00:33:28,660 --> 00:33:31,580
You know, I'm going to kind of miss this
place.

406
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
You'll get over it.

407
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,120
I always have.

408
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:38,140
I had the same sort of sentimental
attachment to the Seventh Army as I have

409
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:39,140
the Third.

410
00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:41,500
But I got over it.

411
00:35:56,430 --> 00:35:57,430
See you, George.

412
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,640
Welcome to the 15th Army.

413
00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:37,240
Ten hut!

414
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:39,800
At ease, as you were.

415
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,540
Well, George, this is it. Reports from
theater commanders, staff reports,

416
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,220
analytical studies on tactics.

417
00:36:51,820 --> 00:36:53,640
More comes in every day.

418
00:36:55,900 --> 00:36:57,600
I'd like to review the troops.

419
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:00,320
I'm afraid you just did.

420
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,620
Looks like a paper army, all right.
That's what it is.

421
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:10,540
Well, Paul, you better lay in a supply
of the most essential piece of equipment

422
00:37:10,540 --> 00:37:11,540
we're going to need.

423
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:12,560
What's that, George?

424
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:14,840
Eye drops.

425
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:25,380
My darling B, it seems I've been kicked
upstairs to the 15th Army.

426
00:37:26,340 --> 00:37:30,400
They sneaked me to my new command like a
thief in the night. It's one hell of a

427
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,500
way for Ike to treat me.

428
00:37:32,420 --> 00:37:36,260
But things will change, and I'll be way
out in front again.

429
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,800
This so -called army is just a handful
of clerks and a committee of officers

430
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,780
whose job is to write a lot of stuff
that no one will ever read.

431
00:37:47,620 --> 00:37:51,980
Well, what do you think of the 15th
Army?

432
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,960
Well, I think it's going to be fine,
sir.

433
00:37:55,620 --> 00:37:56,620
Except slow.

434
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,040
Dangerous.

435
00:37:58,500 --> 00:37:59,620
Dangerous? Yes, sir.

436
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:05,760
One of the cooks told me two clerks got
buried under a ton of paper the other

437
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,280
day. Took six hours to dig them out.

438
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,060
The bodies were covered in ink.

439
00:38:12,020 --> 00:38:13,020
Smudged to death.

440
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:14,340
That's it, sir.

441
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:15,680
Come on back.

442
00:38:16,500 --> 00:38:17,500
Yes, sir.

443
00:38:18,460 --> 00:38:20,960
Good night, General.

444
00:38:21,220 --> 00:38:22,220
Good night, George.

445
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,320
General?

446
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,460
General Patton. Good evening, General.

447
00:39:09,500 --> 00:39:10,500
Take, Willie.

448
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:14,180
Welcome to the Grand Hotel, General.

449
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,200
Colonel Harkins has asked that I conduct
you to him.

450
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,340
If you'll please follow me.

451
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,540
This won't take too long, Woody. Just a
quick drink with Colonel Harkins.

452
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:31,460
Back to the damn paperwork. Better give
Willie a walk.

453
00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:33,180
Yes, sir.

454
00:39:37,230 --> 00:39:40,070
I know I'm right in what I did and the
rest can go to hell.

455
00:39:40,370 --> 00:39:43,450
Or I hope they can because it's going to
be pretty crowded down there.

456
00:39:44,350 --> 00:39:46,330
At the moment, I feel mad.

457
00:39:47,110 --> 00:39:51,790
My public position is that Ike has done
me a favor by giving me this new

458
00:39:51,790 --> 00:39:52,790
assignment.

459
00:39:53,590 --> 00:39:59,210
But my private opinion is that
practically everyone but myself is a

460
00:39:59,210 --> 00:40:00,890
pusillanimous son of a bitch.

461
00:40:02,090 --> 00:40:06,230
Happy birthday to you, Ike.

462
00:40:16,570 --> 00:40:18,510
Well, I'll beat that.

463
00:40:53,399 --> 00:40:56,880
You take Doug McCartney, huh?

464
00:40:57,140 --> 00:40:59,340
He's got a craggy face.

465
00:40:59,900 --> 00:41:04,820
Mark Clark, he's got a weak chin.
Besides, he gives me the creeps.

466
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,120
Ike's face is bland.

467
00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:12,340
Omar, the tent maker, he's got a very
strong jaw.

468
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,620
Makes a good impression the first time
around.

469
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,240
Until you realize how really mediocre he
is.

470
00:41:18,460 --> 00:41:24,500
And then Monty, we have Monty. Monty has
the expression of a ferocious rabbit.

471
00:41:27,890 --> 00:41:31,070
And then we come down to Beetle Smith.

472
00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:34,510
The only problem with Beetle's face is
it shows.

473
00:41:48,930 --> 00:41:50,650
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please.

474
00:41:51,130 --> 00:41:53,170
Ladies, have attention, please.

475
00:41:55,370 --> 00:41:56,370
Thank you.

476
00:41:57,550 --> 00:42:03,450
Six months ago, we were still fighting a
war with Nazi Germany, a war to

477
00:42:03,450 --> 00:42:06,110
liberate Europe from the oppression of
the Third Reich.

478
00:42:06,470 --> 00:42:09,930
The armed forces of the USA and her
allies won that war.

479
00:42:10,170 --> 00:42:15,070
A large measure of credit for that
achievement goes to a man whose hell

480
00:42:15,070 --> 00:42:20,810
leadership galvanized his men to victory
in Africa, Sicily, France, and Germany.

481
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,720
The exploits of the Third Army made
history because of an extraordinary

482
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:31,500
whose men would follow him anywhere.

483
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,140
Would any of you gentlemen care to test
it?

484
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,160
Would it kill me if I ran my hands
through it, sir? I invite you to try it,

485
00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:41,040
Johnson. At your own risk.

486
00:43:13,710 --> 00:43:19,530
thank him for being a rip -roaring
soldier and a warm -hearted friend.

487
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:27,390
So, this toast to General George S.

488
00:43:27,490 --> 00:43:30,870
Patton. Happy birthday and long life.

489
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:52,460
reassuring to know that I'm still a
fairly good -sized social lion.

490
00:43:54,080 --> 00:44:00,980
I thank you, Paul, Jeff, everyone. I
don't have very much to say, except

491
00:44:00,980 --> 00:44:05,040
you know that the most difficult thing
for a general to do is to make up his

492
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:12,040
mind. And then, of course, to withstand
the gruesome rumors that are thrust upon

493
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,040
him by less...

494
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:19,240
stout -hearted people. Now, I've been in
a lot of trouble lately with the press

495
00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:23,980
and some of my colleagues, most of whom
are supposed to be my friends.

496
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:32,140
I guess it's my own fault, but it
reminds me of a young woman friend of

497
00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:38,780
had a baby recently, and she said, oh,
it's so wonderful to be able to

498
00:44:38,780 --> 00:44:40,400
roll over and

499
00:44:41,450 --> 00:44:48,130
lie on my tummy again. I said, my dear
child, had you maintained that position

500
00:44:48,130 --> 00:44:53,510
originally, you probably would not be in
your recent unenviable misery.

501
00:44:57,310 --> 00:45:02,710
I thank you. I thank you for your toast
and your praise.

502
00:45:03,370 --> 00:45:10,250
I would like to say that George S.
Patton was simply

503
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,560
a hook upon which to hang the Third
Army.

504
00:45:16,540 --> 00:45:22,100
And I can tell you this, the Third Army
is

505
00:45:22,100 --> 00:45:26,400
the best thing that has ever happened to
George S. Patton.

506
00:45:44,010 --> 00:45:46,250
I am 60 years old today.

507
00:45:47,190 --> 00:45:53,070
Last time a war ended, I wrote a poem
for my wife, Beatrice. I don't feel

508
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:58,170
up to it now, but I would like to say
one or two lines from my favorite poet,

509
00:45:58,390 --> 00:45:59,390
Rudyard Kipling.

510
00:46:01,610 --> 00:46:07,790
Two things greater than all things are.
The first is love and the second war.

511
00:46:08,730 --> 00:46:12,210
And since we know not how war may
prove...

512
00:46:18,890 --> 00:46:22,770
Heart of my heart, let us talk of love.

513
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:51,600
Said he's Sue, Sue, said he's Sue.

514
00:46:52,380 --> 00:46:58,120
Your hair is red, your eyes are blue.
I'd swap my horse and dog for you.

515
00:46:59,060 --> 00:47:03,120
Said he's Sue, Sue, said he's Sue.

516
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:05,980
There ain't no gallows crew.

517
00:47:06,540 --> 00:47:10,200
How difficult he with the Russian is. We
forget he's not European, but Asian.

518
00:47:10,420 --> 00:47:15,060
Therefore, he thinks deviously. We can
no more understand those Mongol savages

519
00:47:15,060 --> 00:47:17,160
than we can understand Chinamen or Japs.

520
00:47:17,580 --> 00:47:22,620
In my opinion, the Bolshevik is a
congenital liar, barbarian, and a

521
00:47:22,620 --> 00:47:24,200
drunk. It'd be fun to kill a few of
them.

522
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:26,620
Am I missing out on something here?

523
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,080
Oh, sit down, Jeff. Come up and share.

524
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,680
Do you remember my wife's niece, Jean
Gordon?

525
00:47:31,900 --> 00:47:32,658
Of course.

526
00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:36,380
Hello. Oh, geez, that took over my whole
life in the 7th Army at Heidelberg.

527
00:47:36,580 --> 00:47:37,960
Well, it's good to see you again,
General.

528
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,840
Oh, thank you. It's a lot of trouble to
raise this part. My pleasure, George. I

529
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:44,420
just wish Beatrice could have been.

530
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,360
Well, B's probably mapping out my
holiday leave.

531
00:47:48,740 --> 00:47:51,040
If I know B, you won't have a free
minute.

532
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,080
Don't you care to dance?

533
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,660
He doesn't like me.

534
00:48:25,500 --> 00:48:26,500
Who?

535
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:27,760
General Steve.

536
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,120
You can tell.

537
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,960
No, Miss Philly, you're probably
thinking what a lucky old fool I am.

538
00:48:38,100 --> 00:48:39,100
That perfume.

539
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:48,840
It's over, isn't it?

540
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:53,680
War, yeah.

541
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,120
You know what I mean.

542
00:48:59,300 --> 00:49:00,300
Yes, it's over.

543
00:49:03,380 --> 00:49:04,840
My General Bigwig.

544
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:06,800
What?

545
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:10,260
I have a confession to make.

546
00:49:11,260 --> 00:49:15,040
I wanted the war to go on just a little
longer. Isn't that incredible?

547
00:49:16,780 --> 00:49:17,880
I'm so ashamed.

548
00:49:18,940 --> 00:49:20,840
How could anyone be so selfish?

549
00:49:24,270 --> 00:49:25,710
I'd be so lonely without you.

550
00:49:27,190 --> 00:49:29,190
Why does everything come too late?

551
00:49:31,710 --> 00:49:35,230
When the hair turns gray and love looks
out of an old man's eyes.

552
00:49:36,030 --> 00:49:37,030
Not what I meant.

553
00:49:39,210 --> 00:49:40,670
It is beautiful, though.

554
00:49:41,650 --> 00:49:42,650
Who wrote it?

555
00:49:42,910 --> 00:49:43,910
Gates?

556
00:49:44,210 --> 00:49:45,210
No.

557
00:49:45,830 --> 00:49:46,830
I don't know.

558
00:49:48,550 --> 00:49:49,550
Browning.

559
00:49:50,310 --> 00:49:51,310
Look at that.

560
00:49:52,330 --> 00:49:53,330
Favorite.

561
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,100
You're a remarkable poet, General
Bigwin.

562
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:26,300
Je t 'aime de tout mon corps.

563
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,800
Et je t 'aime aussi.

564
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:31,940
Pour toujours.

565
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,420
Your West Point French is improved,
Lieutenant Patton. No wonder.

566
00:50:36,740 --> 00:50:39,440
I was 107th in a class of 123.

567
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,160
Oh, that's 16th on the bottom.

568
00:50:43,180 --> 00:50:45,820
Obviously, I didn't marry you for your
prowess in languages.

569
00:50:48,220 --> 00:50:49,220
For what, then?

570
00:50:49,860 --> 00:50:52,440
Oh, you're fishing for compliments
again, Lieutenant.

571
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,400
You know, Mrs. Patton, you really are
rather pretty for a retired debutante.

572
00:51:00,780 --> 00:51:04,980
I couldn't sleep last night.

573
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:06,280
Want to know why?

574
00:51:06,620 --> 00:51:08,080
No. What?

575
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,020
I couldn't either.

576
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Why?

577
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:14,860
I was thinking about us.

578
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,320
What it would be like being married.

579
00:51:18,060 --> 00:51:20,080
Being alone together at last.

580
00:51:30,700 --> 00:51:31,980
You may not sleep tonight, Ethan.

581
00:51:42,780 --> 00:51:48,160
Where were you?

582
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,040
Hmm?

583
00:51:50,420 --> 00:51:51,420
Somewhere else.

584
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,660
With you in my arms, don't be
ridiculous.

585
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,160
Hold me tight.

586
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:10,260
Never are as bad as they seem.

587
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:14,380
So dream, dream.

588
00:52:23,740 --> 00:52:26,700
It's Lily from Piccadilly.

589
00:52:27,580 --> 00:52:30,160
She is the blackout queen.

590
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,980
Lily from Piccadilly.

591
00:52:35,580 --> 00:52:37,720
Ugliest girl I've seen.

592
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:42,100
With searchlights moving overhead till
Messerschmitts are gone.

593
00:52:42,340 --> 00:52:45,440
Don't take her gas mask off. She looks
much better with it on.

594
00:52:45,740 --> 00:52:48,460
To Piccadilly.

595
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,960
She is the blackout queen.

596
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:53,840
Come on, everybody sing it.

597
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,600
It's Lily from Piccadilly.

598
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,880
She is the blackout queen.

599
00:53:10,730 --> 00:53:13,070
The wig should never bother you.

600
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:16,470
She's several missing parts.

601
00:53:17,930 --> 00:53:20,170
One glass eye, wooden leg.

602
00:53:20,470 --> 00:53:22,470
She's still the queen of tarts.

603
00:53:23,810 --> 00:53:28,670
She is the blackout queen.

604
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:34,100
It's Lily from Piccadilly.

605
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,760
She is the black cow queen.

606
00:53:38,820 --> 00:53:41,400
Lily from Piccadilly.

607
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:44,980
Ugliest girl I've seen.

608
00:53:45,580 --> 00:53:48,500
Who cares if she has pigeon toes?

609
00:53:48,980 --> 00:53:51,800
A voice that's rather harsh.

610
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,860
She's one of the Drake and RAF type
handlebar mustaches.

611
00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:01,510
From Piccadilly.

612
00:54:02,590 --> 00:54:08,470
Queen of the blackout. Laser rubber
knockout. She won't let you back out.

613
00:54:08,470 --> 00:54:12,010
won't pay a stack out for Lily the
Black.

614
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,320
for First Class Woodring here. Over.

615
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:07,840
This is Sergeant Mix.

616
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,200
Wake up, Private.

617
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,680
General Patton, General Gay are going
pheasant hunting south of Mannheim. You

618
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:14,618
drive them.

619
00:55:14,620 --> 00:55:17,220
Over. But he's going back to the States
tomorrow.

620
00:55:18,020 --> 00:55:19,360
He's going hunting today.

621
00:55:20,460 --> 00:55:21,460
Like when?

622
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,040
Like in 20 minutes.

623
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:27,200
The General wants to use the limo. Joe
Spruce will follow in the truck with the

624
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:28,200
guns and dog.

625
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,380
Over. What time is it anyway?

626
00:55:54,730 --> 00:55:57,950
Seen you last night with that big blonde
foiling. Why not tell the whole world

627
00:55:57,950 --> 00:56:01,190
about it? Don't worry. If they catch you
fraternizing again, what more can they

628
00:56:01,190 --> 00:56:03,890
do to you? You've already been demoted
to the bottom of the heap.

629
00:56:04,470 --> 00:56:06,410
Come on, it's half past seven. When are
we leaving?

630
00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:07,750
Whenever they want.

631
00:56:07,830 --> 00:56:09,810
Now, you got the guns? Yeah, yeah,
they're in the back.

632
00:56:10,270 --> 00:56:12,390
Hey, uh, do you think she could get me a
kraut, girlfriend?

633
00:56:12,830 --> 00:56:14,210
I'm getting really lonely.

634
00:56:15,190 --> 00:56:16,129
Yeah, I'll bet.

635
00:56:16,130 --> 00:56:17,130
I swear.

636
00:56:27,190 --> 00:56:28,190
Willie! Jim!

637
00:56:30,650 --> 00:56:35,290
Come on, Willie.

638
00:56:35,710 --> 00:56:36,710
Inside, boy.

639
00:56:36,770 --> 00:56:38,610
I got him from a pound in London.

640
00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:40,390
Ugliest thing I've ever seen.

641
00:56:40,810 --> 00:56:44,730
He's going to be a real scrapper, I
thought. I'm going to name him after

642
00:56:44,730 --> 00:56:45,850
the Conqueror.

643
00:56:46,730 --> 00:56:48,450
He's the biggest coward in dogdom.

644
00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:50,690
Maybe I should have slapped him.

645
00:56:51,050 --> 00:56:52,050
Very funny.

646
00:56:53,870 --> 00:56:55,090
Well, what are we going to do?

647
00:56:55,490 --> 00:56:58,430
All right, you be a good boy while
daddy's gone.

648
00:57:02,690 --> 00:57:03,770
Morning, buddy. Morning, sir.

649
00:57:04,070 --> 00:57:05,070
Morning, buddy.

650
00:57:06,150 --> 00:57:07,150
Spruce got the directions?

651
00:57:07,410 --> 00:57:08,710
Yes, sir. I told him to just follow us.

652
00:57:09,070 --> 00:57:10,370
Well, just keep him in sight.

653
00:57:11,430 --> 00:57:14,570
I won't mind losing Spruce. It's
Engelbert I'm worried about.

654
00:57:44,620 --> 00:57:48,500
with King George in Belgium last month.
Woody got me back to Budenheim in less

655
00:57:48,500 --> 00:57:49,500
than two hours.

656
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,540
Seventy miles an hour. Through all the
checkpoints. You should have seen him

657
00:57:52,540 --> 00:57:56,060
scurry. Didn't Woody used to be a
sergeant? Oh, yeah.

658
00:57:56,660 --> 00:57:58,500
But he's devoted to the local ladies.

659
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,820
Woody is constantly in love.

660
00:58:01,620 --> 00:58:02,620
Life's unfair.

661
00:58:02,940 --> 00:58:06,600
So many broilines. And no fraternization
allowed.

662
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,580
That's a stupid idea. You can't control
sex. All that moralistic garbage.

663
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,460
We both know that when...

664
00:58:12,750 --> 00:58:16,070
Morals go down, morale goes up. It's a
heck of a problem.

665
00:58:16,350 --> 00:58:19,950
But apparently one that Woody enjoys
wrestling with.

666
00:58:39,090 --> 00:58:43,430
Arjun said to the private, he said,
Well, son, what would you like to learn

667
00:58:43,430 --> 00:58:44,430
this man's army?

668
00:58:44,530 --> 00:58:48,250
The recruit says, I'd like to learn to
drive a tank, sir.

669
00:58:48,970 --> 00:58:53,110
He says, well, in that case, I won't
stand in your way.

670
00:58:58,430 --> 00:59:02,530
Now you'd think if my chief of staff
won't laugh at my jokes, at least my

671
00:59:02,530 --> 00:59:04,810
would. Sorry, sir. It was really funny.

672
00:59:05,950 --> 00:59:08,670
It's... Just that I've heard it a few
times before.

673
00:59:09,150 --> 00:59:11,890
Well, not from me, you haven't. I
haven't even thought of that joke in

674
00:59:12,450 --> 00:59:14,810
I haven't told it since I can't remember
when.

675
00:59:15,030 --> 00:59:16,190
I'll tell you one thing, though.

676
00:59:16,790 --> 00:59:20,030
I'll bet when I did tell it the last
time, I probably brought the house down.

677
00:59:25,010 --> 00:59:29,450
So the sergeant says, tell me, private,
what do you want to learn in this man's

678
00:59:29,450 --> 00:59:33,650
army? And the recruit says, I want to
learn how to drive a tank, sir.

679
00:59:34,690 --> 00:59:38,570
Well, says the sergeant, In that case,
Private, I won't stand in your way.

680
00:59:42,310 --> 00:59:46,290
This model is a revolutionary design.

681
00:59:46,690 --> 00:59:49,950
Yeah, it's revolutionary, all right.
Damn contraption.

682
00:59:50,170 --> 00:59:53,410
Now, I ask that you gentlemen use your
imagination, for as you can see, this

683
00:59:53,410 --> 00:59:58,110
experimental model has very little armor
plating yet, and no superstructure.

684
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:01,560
For our purposes, though, it will
demonstrate what you gentlemen from the

685
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:05,920
Department need to see in order to make
your evaluation and recommendation to

686
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,920
the Ordnance Department.

687
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:13,920
This new model can break through
buildings, push trees over, and

688
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,560
plow through sand at 30 miles an hour.

689
01:00:16,980 --> 01:00:22,540
This little iron buggy is so easy to
handle, even a child could drive it.

690
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:25,240
I've got an idea.

691
01:00:26,350 --> 01:00:29,490
Now, how about one of you gentlemen
taking it for the trial run? How about

692
01:00:31,370 --> 01:00:35,790
Now, gentlemen, there is no need for
stage fright. How about a run around the

693
01:00:35,790 --> 01:00:36,790
field?

694
01:00:37,690 --> 01:00:39,750
I mean, wouldn't someone like to take
the first ride?

695
01:00:42,850 --> 01:00:43,850
All right.

696
01:00:45,010 --> 01:00:48,350
B, you demonstrate it for the gentlemen.

697
01:00:48,570 --> 01:00:49,570
Of course, darling.

698
01:02:38,140 --> 01:02:40,040
You see how easy it is to handle,
gentlemen?

699
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,500
Now, who'd like to give it a try?

700
01:02:43,780 --> 01:02:44,880
Thank you, Colonel Patton.

701
01:02:45,420 --> 01:02:49,220
We, uh, I think we've seen enough, and
you'll be hearing from us in time.

702
01:02:53,180 --> 01:02:54,180
Gentlemen.

703
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:00,880
Thank you.

704
01:03:01,020 --> 01:03:04,420
They were horrid, the cops, old fogles.
They aren't important.

705
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,440
It's your presentation.

706
01:03:06,820 --> 01:03:08,300
They tried to make a... Forget them.

707
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,180
Thank you, my dearest.

708
01:03:19,660 --> 01:03:21,240
That guy must be crazy.

709
01:03:23,420 --> 01:03:24,500
He is crazy.

710
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:29,860
So you two just sail right through the
checkpoints, huh? Not like the rest of

711
01:03:29,860 --> 01:03:33,870
peasants. Can't idiots eat a four stars
in this tub? How would he? He's only

712
01:03:33,870 --> 01:03:36,810
doing his job. Look at him shiver. Would
you like to trade places with him?

713
01:03:40,830 --> 01:03:47,810
From the way he carries

714
01:03:47,810 --> 01:03:50,110
on, you'd never know he's just a PFC.

715
01:04:02,570 --> 01:04:04,690
Says he wants to see your
identification, sir.

716
01:04:05,250 --> 01:04:06,310
Says it's regulations.

717
01:04:06,770 --> 01:04:12,510
Well, he's right. It is regulations.
Well, Hap, we've run into a young man

718
01:04:12,510 --> 01:04:15,590
is not impressed with old blood and
guts. What am I going to do with him?

719
01:04:16,770 --> 01:04:17,810
Charm him, Georgie.

720
01:04:37,260 --> 01:04:38,260
Hello, sir.

721
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,240
I'm General George S. Patton, commanding
the 15th Army at Baden -Aheim.

722
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,280
I understand that you want to see my
identification.

723
01:04:49,980 --> 01:04:50,980
Yes, sir.

724
01:04:51,100 --> 01:04:52,400
That is, if you don't mind.

725
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:54,120
All right.

726
01:04:55,740 --> 01:04:56,740
Here we are.

727
01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:58,960
Thank you, sir.

728
01:04:58,980 --> 01:04:59,980
You may pass.

729
01:05:04,460 --> 01:05:05,460
What's your name?

730
01:05:05,799 --> 01:05:07,000
Corporal Philip Leach, sir.

731
01:05:08,340 --> 01:05:11,660
Philip. Good name. Strong name. Like
strong names.

732
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:14,660
Means you're a lover of horses.

733
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:16,500
Do you like horses, Philip? Oh, yes,
sir.

734
01:05:17,260 --> 01:05:18,260
Good for you.

735
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:27,680
Phil, I'm going to see that your CO
finds out just what a

736
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:28,680
good MP you make.

737
01:05:29,340 --> 01:05:30,340
Oh, really?

738
01:05:30,780 --> 01:05:31,780
Thank you, sir.

739
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:35,080
Spruce!

740
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,520
Bring Engelbert up here. Put him in the
front seat. One single free step in that

741
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:41,520
damn truck.

742
01:06:25,290 --> 01:06:28,810
They say a reasonable number of fleas is
good for a dog.

743
01:06:29,570 --> 01:06:33,050
Keeps him from brooding over being a
dog.

744
01:06:34,810 --> 01:06:37,950
Well, he's sure a lot better off than
some of the poor devils scratching

745
01:06:37,950 --> 01:06:38,950
here.

746
01:06:39,770 --> 01:06:44,810
I don't understand it. All I wanted to
do was help build a new Germany. All

747
01:06:44,810 --> 01:06:46,770
ballyhoo about D -Nuts vacation.

748
01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:52,430
I know, but face it, Georgie. You were
Ike's champion and runner.

749
01:06:53,070 --> 01:06:56,170
And when you didn't follow his
directives, he took you out of the game.

750
01:06:56,490 --> 01:06:57,610
It's as simple as that.

751
01:06:58,390 --> 01:06:59,990
He calls the plays.

752
01:07:00,390 --> 01:07:05,490
Well, it all boils down to one thing.
Ike is bitten by the presidential bug,

753
01:07:05,490 --> 01:07:06,730
he doesn't want me rocking the boat.

754
01:07:07,590 --> 01:07:09,710
But he will never be president.

755
01:07:09,970 --> 01:07:11,010
I'll tell you that right now.

756
01:07:11,670 --> 01:07:15,390
The trouble is, I'm an anachronism in
peacetime. I never was very good at

757
01:07:15,390 --> 01:07:16,770
political bootlicking.

758
01:07:17,810 --> 01:07:21,290
Now with FDR gone, the new gang in
Washington hates my guts.

759
01:07:21,930 --> 01:07:24,590
And they go and drop a bomb and end the
Pacific War.

760
01:07:25,630 --> 01:07:28,150
Probably make people like me obsolete. I
don't know.

761
01:07:29,730 --> 01:07:34,030
I feel myself driven toward an end I
cannot see.

762
01:07:35,010 --> 01:07:40,970
But I know as soon as I reach it, as
soon as I become unnecessary,

763
01:07:41,510 --> 01:07:45,290
an atom will suffice to shatter me.

764
01:07:46,970 --> 01:07:49,410
Georgie, that doesn't sound like you.

765
01:07:50,380 --> 01:07:51,840
Because Napoleon said it.

766
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:53,680
Oh.

767
01:07:53,980 --> 01:07:54,980
Good.

768
01:07:58,660 --> 01:08:02,140
Well, I'm going home tomorrow and retire
with my scrapbooks.

769
01:08:03,380 --> 01:08:04,380
Write a book.

770
01:08:04,620 --> 01:08:05,940
You always wanted to.

771
01:08:06,260 --> 01:08:09,900
With the story you have to tell, it'll
be the greatest book to come out of

772
01:08:09,900 --> 01:08:10,900
War II.

773
01:08:10,980 --> 01:08:11,980
Maybe.

774
01:08:12,380 --> 01:08:16,540
But to spill the beans on people like
the Beatle, I'd hate to do it.

775
01:08:17,979 --> 01:08:19,120
Love to do it.

776
01:08:19,370 --> 01:08:20,370
I'd love to do it.

777
01:08:20,510 --> 01:08:24,910
Of course, I will continue to wear my
Eisenhower jacket so that everyone can

778
01:08:24,910 --> 01:08:26,010
kiss my backside.

779
01:08:27,250 --> 01:08:31,050
It is not I who have lost the Athenians,
but the Athenians who have lost me.

780
01:09:19,050 --> 01:09:20,790
Well, we sure left him a mess to clean
up.

781
01:09:21,130 --> 01:09:23,170
Not a living thing, not even a chicken.

782
01:09:26,390 --> 01:09:27,450
Am I getting soft?

783
01:09:28,729 --> 01:09:29,950
I did most of it.

784
01:09:30,750 --> 01:09:31,870
Heroes like me.

785
01:09:39,870 --> 01:09:41,930
Trains do something to me.

786
01:09:44,569 --> 01:09:45,569
Make me sad.

787
01:09:51,710 --> 01:09:53,370
Wandering forever at the earth again.

788
01:09:55,590 --> 01:09:57,170
You ever read of time in the river?

789
01:09:58,170 --> 01:09:59,170
No.

790
01:10:02,690 --> 01:10:04,490
We hurtle onward in the darkness.

791
01:10:07,230 --> 01:10:11,210
Down a million roads.

792
01:10:16,930 --> 01:10:19,730
When Papa died, I was too late for the
funeral.

793
01:10:21,260 --> 01:10:27,840
For an hour, I stood there, and I
realized that the grave no more held

794
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,260
did one of his discarded suits still
hanging in the closet.

795
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:38,060
Suddenly, I seemed to see him in the
road, wearing his checked overcoat and

796
01:10:38,060 --> 01:10:41,700
waving his stick, as he used to do when
he was impatient with me.

797
01:10:52,910 --> 01:10:59,870
Salute not you, Papa, but this last
resting place of the beautiful body

798
01:10:59,870 --> 01:11:00,870
I have loved.

799
01:11:03,010 --> 01:11:04,550
Your soul is with me.

800
01:11:06,470 --> 01:11:12,930
And but for the density of my eyes, I
could see you

801
01:11:12,930 --> 01:11:15,090
and talk with you.

802
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,260
I stopped calling you that when I grew
up.

803
01:11:32,500 --> 01:11:33,500
But you were.

804
01:11:35,660 --> 01:11:36,660
And are.

805
01:11:38,300 --> 01:11:39,300
My darling.

806
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,020
I never did much for you.

807
01:11:46,580 --> 01:11:48,840
And you did everything for me.

808
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,400
I drank so much beer last night, my gut
feels like a beer battle.

809
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,020
Yeah, it looks like one too, Dexter.

810
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:27,060
Melvin, you got the hiccups.

811
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:28,800
No.

812
01:12:30,820 --> 01:12:32,260
You guys know what hiccups are?

813
01:12:32,540 --> 01:12:33,540
Know what?

814
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,520
Messages from departed spirits.

815
01:13:05,350 --> 01:13:07,150
Only one four -star left in the European
theater.

816
01:13:07,450 --> 01:13:08,630
It's got to be old blood and guts.

817
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:10,510
It's the old rat himself.

818
01:14:06,870 --> 01:14:08,750
Work my fingers for me, will you, Hap?

819
01:14:08,990 --> 01:14:09,990
Sure.

820
01:14:10,150 --> 01:14:11,150
Here.

821
01:14:13,650 --> 01:14:17,810
Oh, the stupid, idiotic things to
happen. Damn it all to hell.

822
01:14:19,430 --> 01:14:21,170
Go ahead, Hap. Work my fingers.

823
01:14:24,330 --> 01:14:26,490
Lieutenant, you'd better take charge.

824
01:14:27,310 --> 01:14:29,090
I don't think we should move the
general.

825
01:14:29,390 --> 01:14:30,390
Yes, sir.

826
01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:31,470
I'll get an ambulance.

827
01:14:32,090 --> 01:14:33,090
I'll be right back.

828
01:14:57,230 --> 01:14:58,850
before I'm supposed to ship home.

829
01:14:59,350 --> 01:15:00,350
Isn't that ironic?

830
01:15:04,090 --> 01:15:06,070
General, I'm Dr. Snyder.

831
01:15:07,470 --> 01:15:12,170
Captain, I think I'm paralyzed.

832
01:15:27,790 --> 01:15:28,790
It's the main present.

833
01:15:29,810 --> 01:15:33,830
I think you'll like it. Well, I hope so.
You know, your father hates presents.

834
01:15:35,030 --> 01:15:38,450
But the salesman said it's the most
practical hunting jacket they have.

835
01:15:38,830 --> 01:15:40,290
Don't worry, Mother. He'll love it.

836
01:15:40,530 --> 01:15:41,590
Oh, I hope so.

837
01:15:43,170 --> 01:15:44,390
Rosella, when do you get the phone?

838
01:15:44,730 --> 01:15:45,730
Hello?

839
01:15:50,510 --> 01:15:51,510
Oh, hello, Fred.

840
01:15:52,690 --> 01:15:54,190
Yes, she is. Just a moment.

841
01:15:56,490 --> 01:15:57,490
It's Uncle Fred.

842
01:16:03,330 --> 01:16:05,570
Fred? How are you?

843
01:16:08,870 --> 01:16:09,870
What?

844
01:16:12,850 --> 01:16:13,850
When?

845
01:16:17,190 --> 01:16:18,770
How serious is it?

846
01:16:23,450 --> 01:16:24,710
Yes, of course.

847
01:16:27,980 --> 01:16:29,200
Call me back as soon as you know.

848
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:31,120
I'll be here.

849
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:40,780
Your father's been in an automobile
accident.

850
01:16:42,540 --> 01:16:44,020
He's in a hospital in Heidelberg.

851
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:46,680
Mother.

852
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:49,480
How bad is it?

853
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:51,920
They don't know.

854
01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:54,840
But I've got to go right away.

855
01:16:55,100 --> 01:16:56,100
Do you want me to go with you?

856
01:16:57,060 --> 01:16:58,440
No. No, no, dear.

857
01:17:00,500 --> 01:17:03,860
Mother, he's been in bad shape before.

858
01:17:04,540 --> 01:17:05,620
He's going to be all right.

859
01:17:08,380 --> 01:17:10,520
Yes, of course he is.

860
01:17:21,420 --> 01:17:24,320
Now, General, when did you last urinate?

861
01:17:26,020 --> 01:17:27,080
When was there ever?

862
01:17:28,360 --> 01:17:32,060
10 a .m. I can't remember who keeps a
log on that.

863
01:17:32,380 --> 01:17:33,800
Where'd you get all these scars,
General?

864
01:17:34,340 --> 01:17:35,340
Take a look at this, Colonel.

865
01:17:36,020 --> 01:17:37,020
Assuming there's a battle?

866
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,720
I'm sorry to disappoint you, gentlemen.

867
01:17:41,500 --> 01:17:45,860
My only battle scar is that wound on my
rump.

868
01:17:46,460 --> 01:17:47,680
Got it in 1918.

869
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:50,860
That's a hell of a place for a soldier
to get shot, I can tell you that.

870
01:17:52,420 --> 01:17:55,160
Truth of the matter is, I turned
around...

871
01:17:55,630 --> 01:17:57,910
To see that my men were following me.

872
01:17:58,650 --> 01:17:59,730
We believe you, General.

873
01:18:00,170 --> 01:18:01,430
You better believe me.

874
01:18:03,230 --> 01:18:06,750
Most of the others are from football or
riding horses.

875
01:18:08,250 --> 01:18:12,030
I've broken my nose, both ankles, both
legs, all kinds of ribs.

876
01:18:13,210 --> 01:18:15,250
Gashes, cuts, scrapes, you name it.

877
01:18:15,910 --> 01:18:18,750
Been kicked in the head by horses more
times than I can remember.

878
01:18:20,390 --> 01:18:21,390
You think it shows?

879
01:18:25,770 --> 01:18:28,310
Some people think it shows.

880
01:18:31,910 --> 01:18:33,990
Colonel, Father White is here to see the
General.

881
01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:35,470
Hello, Father.

882
01:18:35,490 --> 01:18:36,490
Afternoon, Colonel.

883
01:18:36,970 --> 01:18:39,350
Lieutenant, how are you? Just fine,
Father.

884
01:18:40,670 --> 01:18:42,050
Father White's here, General.

885
01:18:42,510 --> 01:18:43,510
Are you a Catholic?

886
01:18:43,810 --> 01:18:45,130
What difference does that make?

887
01:18:46,110 --> 01:18:49,650
In my condition, I can use all the help
I can get. Come on in, Padre.

888
01:18:52,670 --> 01:18:54,850
Just keep it brief and to the point,
hmm?

889
01:18:56,270 --> 01:18:58,790
That was most preachers.

890
01:19:00,490 --> 01:19:04,690
When there's nothing more to be said,
they're still saying it.

891
01:19:06,410 --> 01:19:07,410
Very good, General.

892
01:19:20,350 --> 01:19:24,770
General King. My name's Major Morgan.
I'm PRO at this hospital.

893
01:19:25,010 --> 01:19:28,820
Major? What's the word on General
Patton? Not good, I'm afraid, sir. The

894
01:19:28,820 --> 01:19:30,360
general's in serious condition. An
emergency.

895
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:31,960
May I see him?

896
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:33,400
Will the general wait here?

897
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:34,800
I'll see what can be done.

898
01:19:35,060 --> 01:19:36,060
Very well, Major.

899
01:19:41,860 --> 01:19:42,860
Amen.

900
01:19:48,220 --> 01:19:49,220
Thank you, Father.

901
01:19:50,860 --> 01:19:53,480
I don't know what you said, but you sure
did me some good.

902
01:19:54,010 --> 01:19:56,370
Colonel, it's the Protestant chaplain to
see the general.

903
01:19:56,770 --> 01:19:57,770
Send him in.

904
01:19:59,330 --> 01:20:00,890
Another one more or less won't hurt.

905
01:20:02,190 --> 01:20:03,630
Let him go to work on me.

906
01:20:04,010 --> 01:20:05,270
We have the x -rays, sir.

907
01:20:09,530 --> 01:20:10,890
Unstable fracture dislocation.

908
01:20:15,110 --> 01:20:18,450
No, I'm sorry, sir. I can't tell you
anything about the general's condition.

909
01:20:18,590 --> 01:20:20,610
You'll just have to wait until Major
Morgan comes in.

910
01:20:20,930 --> 01:20:21,930
Okay.

911
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:27,760
Gentlemen, please.

912
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:31,740
Now, ladies and gentlemen, my name is
Major Morgan.

913
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,920
I'm the public relations officer in this
hospital. What's going on, Major? I

914
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,940
have only one thing to say.

915
01:20:40,300 --> 01:20:42,840
There'll be no medical bulletins issued
today.

916
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:48,000
It's far too early for the exact nature
of the injuries suffered by General

917
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Patton to be known.

918
01:20:49,100 --> 01:20:52,440
Is it true that he's paralyzed? Will he
live? Thank you, thank you. That's all I

919
01:20:52,440 --> 01:20:53,440
have to say today.

920
01:21:14,550 --> 01:21:17,630
Over there, Hatt. Go on, I'll get some
coffee. You want anything to eat?

921
01:21:18,410 --> 01:21:19,410
No.

922
01:21:19,590 --> 01:21:20,590
Black?

923
01:21:48,780 --> 01:21:50,760
Well, I guess the news sounds I've all
gone home for the night.

924
01:21:51,620 --> 01:21:52,620
Yeah.

925
01:21:52,940 --> 01:21:54,380
They'll be back in force tomorrow.

926
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:58,540
Yeah, well, don't worry. I think
tomorrow I'll authorize Colonel Ball to

927
01:21:58,540 --> 01:21:59,760
press from the hospital altogether.

928
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:01,060
They're one big nuisance.

929
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:07,440
You better get some sleep. You look
awful.

930
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:20,900
lead armies through two world wars.

931
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,280
And then to have this happen.

932
01:22:28,260 --> 01:22:29,260
It's crazy.

933
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,100
Falling off a car seat and breaking your
neck.

934
01:22:43,660 --> 01:22:45,540
Georgie's going to have the best there
is happening.

935
01:22:46,650 --> 01:22:48,990
One neurosurgeon's coming from the
States and one from Oxford.

936
01:22:51,010 --> 01:22:52,150
He's got to live, Jeff.

937
01:22:53,150 --> 01:22:54,270
He's got to write a book.

938
01:22:55,430 --> 01:22:58,490
Only this morning we were talking about
him writing a book.

939
01:22:59,150 --> 01:23:02,550
His memoirs could be the most important
book of the times. Exactly.

940
01:23:05,310 --> 01:23:06,630
What's his condition, Jeff?

941
01:23:07,830 --> 01:23:09,430
His true condition.

942
01:23:10,210 --> 01:23:11,490
They don't tell me anything.

943
01:23:20,590 --> 01:23:23,990
Colonel Hill's diagnosis supported by x
-rays.

944
01:23:24,930 --> 01:23:29,130
Spinal column behind the neck fractured
at third and fourth vertebrae.

945
01:23:29,690 --> 01:23:32,670
Patient breathing with only one side of
diaphragm.

946
01:23:33,130 --> 01:23:35,010
Bladder and bowels paralyzed.

947
01:23:35,790 --> 01:23:38,530
All sensation below the neck absent.

948
01:23:40,170 --> 01:23:45,570
Crutchfield tongs have been fastened in
the skull to provide traction to the

949
01:23:45,570 --> 01:23:46,570
spinal column.

950
01:23:58,860 --> 01:24:02,820
My name's Kerwin. Lieutenant Colonel
Walter Kerwin. I'm serving as temporary

951
01:24:02,820 --> 01:24:03,820
to Mrs. Patton.

952
01:24:04,620 --> 01:24:08,460
She's been waiting for two hours and
Colonel Sperling hasn't arrived yet.

953
01:24:09,620 --> 01:24:11,560
I think he's coming on a C -47.

954
01:24:13,180 --> 01:24:14,180
From Kentucky.

955
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:17,500
If you find out anything, call me back.

956
01:24:19,700 --> 01:24:21,200
Mrs. Patton. Yes.

957
01:24:22,860 --> 01:24:23,980
I'm Colonel Sperling.

958
01:24:24,260 --> 01:24:26,360
I've just arrived. Sorry to be so late.

959
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,980
Thank you for coming, Colonel Spurling.
I know you've had to change your plans.

960
01:24:30,460 --> 01:24:32,940
Mrs. Patton, I wouldn't want to be
anywhere else but here.

961
01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:34,280
Thank you.

962
01:24:34,900 --> 01:24:37,480
Now, what do you say we go to Germany
and see that husband of yours?

963
01:24:37,740 --> 01:24:39,220
That is an excellent idea.

964
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,140
Now, Miss Gordon, normally I'd say no.

965
01:24:48,540 --> 01:24:50,000
It's against hospital regulations.

966
01:24:50,500 --> 01:24:52,140
But you are a family.

967
01:24:53,140 --> 01:24:54,140
Thank you, Colonel.

968
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:55,960
Now, your uncle's in here.

969
01:24:57,050 --> 01:24:58,610
He's sleeping last time I looked in.

970
01:24:59,130 --> 01:25:00,950
Colonel Hill prefers he not be
disturbed.

971
01:25:01,570 --> 01:25:02,570
Of course.

972
01:25:03,410 --> 01:25:06,670
I just want to be with him for a moment.
I promised not to wake him.

973
01:25:07,350 --> 01:25:08,770
Well, maybe you can come back again
tomorrow.

974
01:25:09,310 --> 01:25:10,310
Why don't you call me?

975
01:25:10,870 --> 01:25:12,130
It'll be a full day for him, though.

976
01:25:13,610 --> 01:25:14,790
No, I won't be back.

977
01:25:15,950 --> 01:25:17,890
And please, Colonel, don't tell him I
was here.

978
01:26:29,049 --> 01:26:31,190
Georgie, it's not over for me.

979
01:26:32,650 --> 01:26:34,530
It never will be over.

980
01:27:38,510 --> 01:27:39,510
Good morning, General.

981
01:27:41,070 --> 01:27:42,130
Good morning, Colonel.

982
01:27:43,410 --> 01:27:46,170
Sir, I have something here that I'm sure
will please you.

983
01:27:48,810 --> 01:27:52,950
Dear General Patton, I am distressed at
the painful accident which you have

984
01:27:52,950 --> 01:27:55,670
suffered and want you to know that I am
thinking of you at this time.

985
01:27:56,830 --> 01:28:00,950
You have won many a tough fight, and I
know that faith and courage will not

986
01:28:00,950 --> 01:28:01,950
you in this one.

987
01:28:02,370 --> 01:28:06,630
I am thankful that Mrs. Patton will soon
be at your side to strengthen and

988
01:28:06,630 --> 01:28:07,630
sustain you.

989
01:28:08,270 --> 01:28:14,430
With prayerful wishes for your recovery,
Commander -in -Chief, former Captain

990
01:28:14,430 --> 01:28:15,430
Harry Estrone.

991
01:28:17,110 --> 01:28:18,350
It's funny, isn't it?

992
01:28:20,650 --> 01:28:26,750
Men become vice presidents who were
never intended by party or God to be

993
01:28:26,750 --> 01:28:28,390
president. Yep.

994
01:28:30,410 --> 01:28:32,210
I think you'll do a good job.

995
01:28:34,700 --> 01:28:38,340
I would like you to thank those four
soldiers who shared their blood with me.

996
01:28:38,420 --> 01:28:39,900
Will you be sure to do that for me,
please?

997
01:28:40,740 --> 01:28:41,740
Yes, I will.

998
01:28:43,300 --> 01:28:44,300
I'll check back later.

999
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:53,320
That fragrance.

1000
01:28:56,020 --> 01:28:57,240
You notice it, Colonel?

1001
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:36,760
I couldn't sleep.

1002
01:29:37,260 --> 01:29:39,740
This is one patient I don't want to be
late for.

1003
01:29:40,740 --> 01:29:42,000
If you want, you can sign up.

1004
01:29:42,340 --> 01:29:44,340
Really? Oh, thanks.

1005
01:29:45,380 --> 01:29:46,500
I'm so nervous.

1006
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:51,580
How is he? He woke up at five and talked
my leg off.

1007
01:29:52,420 --> 01:29:55,560
Be sure and check the tongs. They refuse
to stay in place.

1008
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,500
Okay. Colonel Hill discussed the case
with you? Yes.

1009
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:03,620
Good. Now, I had to give him sedation,
and even then he was awake a lot.

1010
01:30:04,140 --> 01:30:09,000
Oh, and he hates the IV bottles being in
sight. He counts those drops like they

1011
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:10,000
were sheep.

1012
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:13,420
A neurosurgeon from Oxford is flying in
this morning with his assistant.

1013
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:15,140
But there's one coming from the States.

1014
01:30:15,380 --> 01:30:16,740
They're not taking any chances.

1015
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:18,200
Bertha.

1016
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:23,180
Is the general, uh, well, you know,
difficult?

1017
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:25,240
He's a doll.

1018
01:30:25,340 --> 01:30:27,040
Don't worry. You'll like him.

1019
01:30:27,480 --> 01:30:29,680
He's gruff and sort of cute.

1020
01:30:29,960 --> 01:30:33,220
Well, I guess I'm ready to beard the
lion in his den.

1021
01:30:34,060 --> 01:30:35,360
Might as well get it over with.

1022
01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:39,440
They say he likes pretty women.

1023
01:30:39,700 --> 01:30:41,380
Oh? Yeah, he's gonna love you.

1024
01:31:08,240 --> 01:31:09,240
Good morning, General.

1025
01:31:11,660 --> 01:31:13,240
I feel much better today.

1026
01:31:13,980 --> 01:31:17,080
I can move the index finger on my right
hand. Look.

1027
01:31:18,660 --> 01:31:20,160
That's wonderful. Let me see.

1028
01:31:25,980 --> 01:31:26,980
Go ahead.

1029
01:31:38,510 --> 01:31:39,510
I think so.

1030
01:31:41,310 --> 01:31:43,530
I do see a slight movement, yes.

1031
01:31:59,150 --> 01:32:01,230
I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know.

1032
01:32:01,430 --> 01:32:04,290
Oh, look, honey, all we want is some
simple facts.

1033
01:32:05,090 --> 01:32:07,970
He's paralyzed, right? Well, that's what
the rumor is.

1034
01:32:08,410 --> 01:32:09,590
So how much paralyzed?

1035
01:32:10,030 --> 01:32:11,450
Completely. Partially?

1036
01:32:11,830 --> 01:32:16,510
The first bulletins will be issued this
afternoon detailing his progress. And

1037
01:32:16,510 --> 01:32:17,510
twice daily thereafter.

1038
01:32:19,190 --> 01:32:20,790
How do we get through to this day?

1039
01:32:22,130 --> 01:32:23,630
Oh, yes, of course, General Keyes.

1040
01:32:25,370 --> 01:32:26,370
Come in.

1041
01:32:26,670 --> 01:32:27,670
Well, we'll do that right away.

1042
01:32:28,330 --> 01:32:29,950
Well, thank you very much, sir.

1043
01:32:32,250 --> 01:32:35,650
Yeah. Colonel, get well messages from
everywhere. There's swampings. Here's

1044
01:32:35,650 --> 01:32:36,650
from Lady Duff Cooper.

1045
01:32:36,710 --> 01:32:37,730
And listen to this.

1046
01:32:38,350 --> 01:32:42,090
You will conquer this battle as
brilliantly and courageously as you have

1047
01:32:42,090 --> 01:32:43,250
others. Winston Churchill.

1048
01:32:44,250 --> 01:32:46,110
Well, that should boost the general's
morale.

1049
01:32:46,750 --> 01:32:48,550
Anyway, forget that just for a moment,
Nancy.

1050
01:32:49,370 --> 01:32:50,370
Take this down.

1051
01:32:50,910 --> 01:32:53,090
And get it to the staff immediately.

1052
01:32:54,070 --> 01:32:56,970
It won't help you people very much in
the communications center, but it will

1053
01:32:56,970 --> 01:32:58,630
make everybody else's job just a bit
easier.

1054
01:33:00,190 --> 01:33:03,270
By order, General Commanding Seventh
Army.

1055
01:33:04,450 --> 01:33:08,090
Press and radio reporters are here with
Bard... from the hospital.

1056
01:33:08,630 --> 01:33:09,650
Thank you, Colonel.

1057
01:33:10,350 --> 01:33:16,290
And they will not be admitted inside the
gate except at such time as a press

1058
01:33:16,290 --> 01:33:17,910
conference is authorized.

1059
01:33:18,530 --> 01:33:20,550
Well, this is some way to treat the
American press.

1060
01:33:20,870 --> 01:33:21,869
I'm sorry, ma 'am.

1061
01:33:21,870 --> 01:33:23,350
You don't look sorry.

1062
01:33:23,670 --> 01:33:25,270
That Major Morgan was rude.

1063
01:33:25,510 --> 01:33:26,670
We're only doing our job.

1064
01:33:26,990 --> 01:33:30,930
Smug little jerk. He really enjoyed
telling us to march. Certainly rude to

1065
01:33:30,930 --> 01:33:32,670
don't know. Well, they haven't heard the
last of it.

1066
01:33:33,290 --> 01:33:37,010
The freedom of the press is involved
here. I only asked him if his general's

1067
01:33:37,010 --> 01:33:38,010
private was paralyzed.

1068
01:33:38,270 --> 01:33:39,730
And he turned and walked away from me.

1069
01:33:40,190 --> 01:33:41,590
I call that rude.

1070
01:33:42,470 --> 01:33:45,890
If I weren't a lady, I'd... She's sure
going to fool me.

1071
01:33:49,030 --> 01:33:50,970
Yes, I've always liked Catherine
Cornell.

1072
01:33:52,450 --> 01:33:53,450
Extremely good actress.

1073
01:33:55,390 --> 01:33:57,630
Saw her twice in the ballads of Wimpole
Street.

1074
01:33:58,110 --> 01:33:59,110
Splendid performer.

1075
01:34:00,350 --> 01:34:02,430
Last time I was in London, I saw her.

1076
01:34:03,630 --> 01:34:06,530
The lunce in There Shall Be No Night.

1077
01:34:06,870 --> 01:34:07,870
Oh, yes.

1078
01:34:08,250 --> 01:34:09,670
By that fellow Sherwood.

1079
01:34:10,650 --> 01:34:11,650
Did you like it?

1080
01:34:11,870 --> 01:34:12,870
Yes, very much.

1081
01:34:13,090 --> 01:34:14,090
I hated it.

1082
01:34:15,390 --> 01:34:16,990
Would you close your eyes, please?

1083
01:34:20,110 --> 01:34:21,110
Feel that?

1084
01:34:22,390 --> 01:34:25,030
I think I feel something. Yes, I do.

1085
01:34:25,350 --> 01:34:26,350
Where?

1086
01:34:26,690 --> 01:34:28,310
My chest on the right.

1087
01:34:29,290 --> 01:34:30,290
Good.

1088
01:34:31,080 --> 01:34:33,120
Right thoracic wall, patient localizes.

1089
01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:41,040
No?

1090
01:34:41,780 --> 01:34:44,240
I think so. Are you touching one of my
legs?

1091
01:34:45,980 --> 01:34:47,600
Tell the attendant, I'm sure.

1092
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:57,940
So... Haymarket in the blackout was one
nasty spot, hmm?

1093
01:34:58,820 --> 01:35:02,410
Pitch dark and... Play guys tumbling all
over each other?

1094
01:35:03,210 --> 01:35:05,630
I was there during World War I. Yeah.

1095
01:35:10,870 --> 01:35:12,230
Look up the ceiling, please.

1096
01:35:13,910 --> 01:35:18,170
I think the hay market's pretty much the
same as it was then, really.

1097
01:35:19,870 --> 01:35:22,110
One respect, it hasn't changed at all.

1098
01:35:22,470 --> 01:35:23,470
Oh, what's that?

1099
01:35:24,110 --> 01:35:28,710
A chippy who was somewhat past her prime
wanted to take me home.

1100
01:35:29,769 --> 01:35:30,830
There you go.

1101
01:35:31,590 --> 01:35:35,370
And what was your response to this aged
enchantress of the evening?

1102
01:35:36,030 --> 01:35:39,930
I told her, I'm sorry, Grandma, but
you're just one war too late.

1103
01:35:46,490 --> 01:35:47,550
Your prognosis?

1104
01:35:49,290 --> 01:35:50,290
Uncertain, gentlemen.

1105
01:35:51,290 --> 01:35:53,750
My examination confirms your diagnosis.

1106
01:35:54,670 --> 01:35:57,050
Do you recommend any changes in our
present treatment?

1107
01:35:57,770 --> 01:36:00,110
I should recommend forcing more fluids.

1108
01:36:00,650 --> 01:36:01,970
Keep the room cool.

1109
01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:08,270
I'm in favor of traction, of course, but
I'd say increase to ten pounds.

1110
01:36:09,150 --> 01:36:14,730
And I'd dispense with the tongs and
using these zygomatic hooks instead.

1111
01:36:16,030 --> 01:36:18,730
Yeah, fish hooks under the cheekbones.

1112
01:36:19,030 --> 01:36:20,030
It's painful.

1113
01:36:20,650 --> 01:36:23,490
But you're right. It probably is
necessary.

1114
01:36:40,110 --> 01:36:42,010
I have the queerest sensation in my
hands.

1115
01:36:43,770 --> 01:36:48,570
As if my skin and flesh were trying to
fall off my bones.

1116
01:36:49,230 --> 01:36:50,610
It's the strangest feeling.

1117
01:36:50,970 --> 01:36:54,730
Like I was shedding my body.

1118
01:36:56,930 --> 01:37:02,050
Maybe I'm shuffling off this mortal
coil.

1119
01:37:02,950 --> 01:37:06,210
The fact that there's sensation could be
a good sign.

1120
01:37:11,500 --> 01:37:13,200
Dying has always intrigued me.

1121
01:37:14,980 --> 01:37:19,200
The Hindu says it's the most exalted
experience in life. Did you know that?

1122
01:37:19,980 --> 01:37:20,980
No, I didn't.

1123
01:37:22,800 --> 01:37:23,820
I'm not afraid.

1124
01:37:26,540 --> 01:37:27,800
Only curious.

1125
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:36,380
So, up he rose and forth they went.

1126
01:37:38,400 --> 01:37:39,940
Away from battleground.

1127
01:37:41,230 --> 01:37:46,910
Fortress, tent, mountain, wilderness,
field and farm.

1128
01:37:49,710 --> 01:37:52,210
Death and the general.

1129
01:37:54,110 --> 01:37:55,110
Arm in arm.

1130
01:38:01,350 --> 01:38:06,350
Well, Georgie, I'd say the greatest man
in the world was your grandfather.

1131
01:38:07,290 --> 01:38:08,350
You want to know why?

1132
01:38:08,630 --> 01:38:09,630
Yes, sir.

1133
01:38:10,340 --> 01:38:13,540
Because he died for his country, leading
his troops in the battle.

1134
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,660
He died at the head of brave men.

1135
01:38:17,440 --> 01:38:18,640
And he carried a sword.

1136
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,500
Do you understand that? Yes, sir.

1137
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:29,220
One of the regrets of my life is that
I'll never have the opportunity to die

1138
01:38:29,220 --> 01:38:30,300
such a glorious death.

1139
01:38:32,660 --> 01:38:34,600
No man can choose how he's born.

1140
01:38:35,620 --> 01:38:38,960
And a man is lucky if he can choose the
circumstances of his death.

1141
01:38:40,010 --> 01:38:43,370
And by that choice, signify his life.

1142
01:38:46,570 --> 01:38:48,090
He carried the sword.

1143
01:38:50,050 --> 01:38:51,830
He was a brigadier general.

1144
01:38:52,370 --> 01:38:56,390
And on that last cavalry charge, he rode
a white horse.

1145
01:38:58,290 --> 01:38:59,990
And he carried a sword.

1146
01:39:25,260 --> 01:39:26,260
Good to see you, Bea.

1147
01:39:28,480 --> 01:39:30,320
I've seen you in these scrapes before.

1148
01:39:32,180 --> 01:39:33,740
You always come out all right.

1149
01:39:51,460 --> 01:39:53,480
Would you like to stay at my place
tonight, Bea?

1150
01:39:54,970 --> 01:39:56,890
No, thanks, Jeff. I'd rather stay here.

1151
01:39:58,050 --> 01:39:59,650
Perhaps in one of the rooms down the
hall.

1152
01:39:59,910 --> 01:40:02,030
Of course, we'll arrange that. Whatever
you say.

1153
01:40:02,510 --> 01:40:03,570
I'll be here all night long.

1154
01:40:04,570 --> 01:40:07,990
Now, if there's anything you need or
want, please don't hesitate. Just let me

1155
01:40:07,990 --> 01:40:08,929
know.

1156
01:40:08,930 --> 01:40:10,130
There are just a few things.

1157
01:40:11,910 --> 01:40:12,910
No visitors.

1158
01:40:13,470 --> 01:40:16,130
Agreed. Even if they claim to be family
relations.

1159
01:40:17,110 --> 01:40:18,470
Not unless I clear it.

1160
01:40:19,590 --> 01:40:20,730
Don't worry about that, B.

1161
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:25,880
And under no circumstances is General
Beadle Smith to be admitted.

1162
01:40:26,620 --> 01:40:28,600
Please understand, under no
circumstances.

1163
01:40:29,620 --> 01:40:30,620
I understand.

1164
01:40:32,860 --> 01:40:36,680
Oh, this is a list of books I'd like to
read to Georgie.

1165
01:40:37,940 --> 01:40:38,940
We'll get right on it.

1166
01:40:40,740 --> 01:40:42,220
Thank you for everything you're doing.

1167
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:44,280
I hope for the best.

1168
01:40:45,180 --> 01:40:46,440
I'm prepared for the worst.

1169
01:40:48,820 --> 01:40:50,220
I just want you to know...

1170
01:40:51,630 --> 01:40:52,950
You can't level with me.

1171
01:42:58,340 --> 01:43:01,380
Tendon reflex is hyperactive in both
lower extremities.

1172
01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:05,860
A definite sweating in the C5 dermatome.

1173
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,200
Sounds like I'm one step away from an
autopsy. Really, General.

1174
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:11,980
That's not funny, George.

1175
01:43:12,300 --> 01:43:13,300
I'm sorry.

1176
01:43:13,700 --> 01:43:17,700
I apologize for getting you out of this
wild goose chase, Colonel.

1177
01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:21,640
I'm particularly sorry, since it looks
like you won't be able to spend

1178
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:22,579
with your family.

1179
01:43:22,580 --> 01:43:26,120
Well, General, with all the kids
underfoot, I don't think anybody will

1180
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:27,019
to miss me.

1181
01:43:27,020 --> 01:43:29,240
I don't believe that. He'll be missed,
all right.

1182
01:43:32,480 --> 01:43:37,440
Well, at the moment, the General seems
to be in fairly stable condition.

1183
01:43:38,980 --> 01:43:40,620
He's holding up remarkably well.

1184
01:43:42,220 --> 01:43:48,080
Barring unforeseen complications, I
think he's out of danger, as far as

1185
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:49,080
his life is concerned.

1186
01:43:49,360 --> 01:43:53,380
Gentlemen, I'm sure you realize that for
all kinds of reasons, it's absolutely

1187
01:43:53,380 --> 01:43:54,620
imperative that he survive.

1188
01:43:55,400 --> 01:43:56,660
I don't care what it takes.

1189
01:43:56,980 --> 01:43:58,840
Do whatever you can to keep him alive.

1190
01:44:00,820 --> 01:44:01,820
Yes,

1191
01:44:02,320 --> 01:44:03,320
what is it?

1192
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:06,640
All right, I'll tell him.

1193
01:44:08,700 --> 01:44:10,560
Colonel, General Patton wants to see
you.

1194
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:12,200
Hello.

1195
01:44:15,620 --> 01:44:17,320
You doctors amaze me.

1196
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:19,280
How's that?

1197
01:44:21,900 --> 01:44:23,680
Repairing human wreckage the way you do.

1198
01:44:25,710 --> 01:44:29,690
But I don't know if you'll be able to
repair this wreck.

1199
01:44:30,610 --> 01:44:33,470
Well, we'll give it a try.

1200
01:44:34,890 --> 01:44:36,550
There's a hell of a lot at stake here.

1201
01:44:37,110 --> 01:44:38,068
Of course.

1202
01:44:38,070 --> 01:44:39,230
No, I don't mean just me.

1203
01:44:40,510 --> 01:44:46,090
You see, I'm convinced that we'll be at
war with Russia within five years. Maybe

1204
01:44:46,090 --> 01:44:49,210
not the same kind of war as the last
one. Not with this nuclear thing, no.

1205
01:44:49,810 --> 01:44:52,790
I see things changing, but war
nevertheless.

1206
01:44:56,170 --> 01:44:57,170
Sons of bitches.

1207
01:44:58,430 --> 01:44:59,910
They're going to push us hard.

1208
01:45:01,590 --> 01:45:05,230
If there is war, I've got to be around
to fight, to lead soldiers. That's all I

1209
01:45:05,230 --> 01:45:06,810
can do, but I'm the best. Do you
understand?

1210
01:45:09,190 --> 01:45:11,050
Damn it, Colonel, I don't need to just
live.

1211
01:45:11,490 --> 01:45:12,710
I need to live to fight.

1212
01:45:13,990 --> 01:45:15,530
I understand how you feel.

1213
01:45:17,830 --> 01:45:22,690
So, uh... I want to know. I want you to
tell me.

1214
01:45:24,940 --> 01:45:26,500
What chance do I have to recover?

1215
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:33,740
You're doing so much better than the
usual patient with a cervical cord

1216
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:37,740
Well, it's just impossible to give you a
forthright answer.

1217
01:45:39,420 --> 01:45:44,720
After all, if the cord's been severed or
severely damaged at the moment of

1218
01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:49,620
impact, your chance to recover would be
very slight.

1219
01:45:52,020 --> 01:45:53,840
On the other hand, if...

1220
01:45:54,250 --> 01:45:57,830
If the cord was only slightly shaken
up... Will I ever ride a horse again?

1221
01:46:00,230 --> 01:46:01,230
No.

1222
01:46:03,490 --> 01:46:04,490
I see.

1223
01:46:07,250 --> 01:46:09,850
The best I have to hope for is savvy
invalidism.

1224
01:46:18,390 --> 01:46:19,390
Invalidism?

1225
01:46:21,310 --> 01:46:22,330
General... Thank you, Colonel.

1226
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:27,500
For your honesty, I'd prize that on a
man.

1227
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:41,080
Ladies and gentlemen,

1228
01:46:41,300 --> 01:46:44,680
care to follow me into the conference
room?

1229
01:47:18,220 --> 01:47:19,360
Maybe have it quiet, please.

1230
01:47:21,100 --> 01:47:22,100
Thank you.

1231
01:47:22,260 --> 01:47:25,600
As you know, this conference is being
held in lieu of the regular bulletin,

1232
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:27,960
usually given at 6 p .m.

1233
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:36,760
This press interview is a major
concession for the media, since we as

1234
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:40,980
are essentially violating the sanctity
of the physician and patient relations.

1235
01:47:41,660 --> 01:47:46,160
And due to this fact, we may decline to
answer those questions which we deem

1236
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:47,160
improper.

1237
01:47:47,660 --> 01:47:51,160
I'd like to introduce Colonel Glenn
Sperling. Colonel Sperling has served

1238
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:55,140
throughout the war as the chief
neurosurgical consultant in Europe, and

1239
01:47:55,140 --> 01:47:58,540
you are familiar with Major Kenneth
Morgan, our public relations officer.

1240
01:47:59,960 --> 01:48:01,440
I'm Lieutenant Colonel Paul Hill.

1241
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:03,360
I guess we can begin.

1242
01:48:03,880 --> 01:48:07,140
What color pajamas does the general
wear?

1243
01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:09,400
Are they his own or government issue?

1244
01:48:09,900 --> 01:48:10,900
Government issue.

1245
01:48:11,100 --> 01:48:12,700
Colonel, over here, please.

1246
01:48:13,390 --> 01:48:18,110
I'd like to know if the general takes
orange juice or grapefruit juice with

1247
01:48:18,110 --> 01:48:19,110
breakfast.

1248
01:48:20,610 --> 01:48:22,070
Orange juice. Colonel!

1249
01:48:22,270 --> 01:48:23,270
Colonel!

1250
01:48:23,450 --> 01:48:28,050
Is he using much profanity in the
hospital? And could you give us an

1251
01:48:28,970 --> 01:48:29,970
No, I couldn't.

1252
01:48:30,590 --> 01:48:33,990
Which of his nurses is his favorite?

1253
01:48:36,590 --> 01:48:42,770
I believe he has no favorite. Does the
general have a paralyzed... Madam,

1254
01:48:42,790 --> 01:48:44,210
please. Thank you.

1255
01:48:49,930 --> 01:48:56,130
Dear Ruth Ellen, I'm in my little room
at the hospital, directly down the hall

1256
01:48:56,130 --> 01:48:57,130
from your father's.

1257
01:48:57,590 --> 01:49:01,970
I spend most of each day with him,
reading aloud from the book he has loved

1258
01:49:01,970 --> 01:49:02,970
through the years.

1259
01:49:03,510 --> 01:49:06,670
It helps to take his mind off the
present situation.

1260
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:08,940
And it helps me too.

1261
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:14,960
This willful and resolute man,
flamboyant and egotistical, had flirted

1262
01:49:14,960 --> 01:49:16,920
destiny and frequently seduced fate.

1263
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:21,820
Now his long pursuit was yielding its
supreme reward. He was passing into

1264
01:49:21,820 --> 01:49:22,820
history.

1265
01:49:23,300 --> 01:49:26,720
He knows how worried I am, whether I
show it or not.

1266
01:49:27,480 --> 01:49:29,720
And he tries to calm my fears.

1267
01:49:31,620 --> 01:49:34,300
He's always said that I knew what was
best for him.

1268
01:49:35,820 --> 01:49:37,560
I wish to God I did now.

1269
01:49:38,480 --> 01:49:42,920
He's in the hands of others, strangers
to me. Thought there were no more worlds

1270
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:44,620
to conquer at the age of 33.

1271
01:49:45,420 --> 01:49:50,360
Wellington was 44 at Waterloo, while
Napoleon and Hannibal were burned out by

1272
01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:51,360
the time they were 40.

1273
01:49:51,700 --> 01:49:57,240
All I can do is watch helplessly as they
keep him occupied with myriad

1274
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:58,240
discomforting chores.

1275
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:03,060
Shouting at the top of his voice,
attack, you miserable cowards. What are

1276
01:50:03,060 --> 01:50:04,060
waiting for?

1277
01:50:04,170 --> 01:50:05,170
You can't live forever.

1278
01:50:09,430 --> 01:50:13,010
But we will ride out the storm together.

1279
01:50:13,850 --> 01:50:19,670
He spared neither pain, care, nor
trouble to arrive at his end. And this

1280
01:50:19,670 --> 01:50:21,810
as much to little things as to great.

1281
01:50:22,210 --> 01:50:25,890
He was, one might say, totally given
over to his object.

1282
01:50:26,170 --> 01:50:31,270
He always applied all his means, all his
faculties, all his attention to the

1283
01:50:31,270 --> 01:50:35,120
action or discussion of the moment.
Thank you. Into everything? Yes.

1284
01:50:36,800 --> 01:50:42,220
You see, Colonel, Napoleon was a man
completely wrapped in his own destiny. A

1285
01:50:42,220 --> 01:50:43,980
supreme egotist.

1286
01:50:44,380 --> 01:50:50,340
An isolated, self -centered man who
relied on himself alone.

1287
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:51,680
Go ahead.

1288
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,520
Into everything he put passion.

1289
01:50:54,780 --> 01:50:59,900
Hence the enormous advantage he had over
his adversaries. For few people are

1290
01:50:59,900 --> 01:51:01,880
entirely absorbed by one thought.

1291
01:51:02,280 --> 01:51:03,960
Or one action, or one moment.

1292
01:51:04,540 --> 01:51:06,060
What a prophet he was.

1293
01:51:06,700 --> 01:51:10,400
He said there would be no independence
or liberty without great armies.

1294
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:15,760
And look what has happened to what was
the greatest army in history.

1295
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:21,480
Just six months ago, the American army
is being disbanded.

1296
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:25,620
All right, Georgie, it's time to stop.
You'll tire yourself out.

1297
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:28,060
You were supposed to listen, not to...

1298
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:50,940
I've just given him a mild sedative.

1299
01:51:52,780 --> 01:51:54,100
Don't worry, he'll be all right now.

1300
01:51:54,980 --> 01:51:55,980
Thank you, Colonel.

1301
01:51:57,040 --> 01:51:58,520
Now, I'll be right down the hole.

1302
01:52:00,100 --> 01:52:02,300
Just go easy on the talking, huh?

1303
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:03,760
Yes, I will.

1304
01:52:04,020 --> 01:52:05,160
It provokes the congestion.

1305
01:52:07,980 --> 01:52:11,820
And if you behave yourself, we'll get
you into a neck and shoulder cast.

1306
01:52:12,100 --> 01:52:13,800
And we'll get rid of these hooks, okay?

1307
01:52:16,480 --> 01:52:17,540
Good night, Mrs. Patton.

1308
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:32,400
It's always been at your best when the
chips were tough.

1309
01:52:32,700 --> 01:52:33,700
Shh.

1310
01:52:33,800 --> 01:52:35,060
You heard what he said.

1311
01:52:36,260 --> 01:52:40,720
How long has it been? How many years?

1312
01:52:41,940 --> 01:52:43,640
You know, 35.

1313
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:46,520
35.

1314
01:52:48,540 --> 01:52:50,400
You put up with a lot for me, B.

1315
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:53,400
Any other woman would have left me a
long time ago.

1316
01:52:53,860 --> 01:52:55,180
I'm not any other woman.

1317
01:52:59,340 --> 01:53:04,600
You've always been the most important
person to me.

1318
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:12,260
There is no one else. Georgie, you don't
have to say anything.

1319
01:53:14,020 --> 01:53:15,620
The mark of gentility.

1320
01:53:18,940 --> 01:53:19,940
Sweetheart.

1321
01:53:22,160 --> 01:53:24,800
So much of your life has been spent
waiting.

1322
01:53:28,300 --> 01:53:30,520
Georgia, do you remember when you landed
in Africa?

1323
01:53:32,460 --> 01:53:36,540
I can't describe my feelings when the
news came over the radio that you had

1324
01:53:36,540 --> 01:53:37,540
your landing successfully.

1325
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:42,280
That you had done exactly what you
wanted to do.

1326
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:47,960
And I thought, this man is his own star.

1327
01:53:49,100 --> 01:53:53,680
He commands all light, all influence,
all fate.

1328
01:53:55,120 --> 01:54:00,520
And I knew there'd be months, Maybe
years of waiting, anxiety ahead of me.

1329
01:54:01,100 --> 01:54:03,680
And yet all I could think of was your
triumph.

1330
01:54:04,620 --> 01:54:07,960
That the first jump was taken, that
you'd never have to take it again.

1331
01:54:09,120 --> 01:54:13,840
And I told myself, God is with us.

1332
01:54:14,760 --> 01:54:16,500
He'll always be with us.

1333
01:54:18,820 --> 01:54:22,360
The thought that you love me.

1334
01:54:24,810 --> 01:54:27,390
rang through my mind like a peal of
bells.

1335
01:54:29,790 --> 01:54:31,170
You loved me.

1336
01:54:51,850 --> 01:54:56,090
As a youth, T .E. Lawrence thought
nothing of reading half through the

1337
01:54:56,210 --> 01:55:01,070
lying on a rug or mattress, a habit that
had the convenience of allowing him to

1338
01:55:01,070 --> 01:55:02,070
sleep where he lay.

1339
01:55:03,070 --> 01:55:05,430
Exactly what I did at Lake Vineyard as a
boy.

1340
01:55:05,890 --> 01:55:07,510
Just like Lawrence of Arabia.

1341
01:55:08,150 --> 01:55:11,050
By habit, too, he developed a faculty...

1342
01:55:11,050 --> 01:55:18,050
He's

1343
01:55:18,050 --> 01:55:19,050
all right.

1344
01:55:19,330 --> 01:55:20,710
That's enough for now, anyway.

1345
01:55:23,150 --> 01:55:24,350
Good fine job on the collar.

1346
01:55:26,270 --> 01:55:28,330
Is he eating his porridge like a good
bear, Lieutenant?

1347
01:55:28,790 --> 01:55:31,490
No. But you're right about the bear
part, Colonel.

1348
01:55:33,270 --> 01:55:34,870
A man must eat, General.

1349
01:55:35,790 --> 01:55:37,030
A man must eat.

1350
01:55:37,810 --> 01:55:40,870
Though every tree were gallows.

1351
01:55:42,110 --> 01:55:44,110
There he goes again, talking like that.

1352
01:55:44,890 --> 01:55:45,890
Shame on you.

1353
01:55:57,200 --> 01:55:58,200
Hang on, General.

1354
01:55:59,540 --> 01:56:02,980
I'm so tired of just hanging on.

1355
01:56:03,940 --> 01:56:08,380
I found this at the... Why

1356
01:56:08,380 --> 01:56:12,500
not?

1357
01:56:13,380 --> 01:56:14,380
Doctor's orders.

1358
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:16,440
We'll add it to your regular medication.

1359
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,360
But only one teaspoon when your
condition calls for it.

1360
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:25,580
We better keep this between us, huh? You
tell the girls.

1361
01:56:26,080 --> 01:56:27,080
Good.

1362
01:56:28,740 --> 01:56:34,020
Let's all have a drink to the medal of
honor I never got.

1363
01:56:39,140 --> 01:56:44,660
From now on, buddy, I make you my
official

1364
01:56:44,660 --> 01:56:46,400
bartender.

1365
01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:52,400
Lieutenant.

1366
01:56:54,540 --> 01:56:55,540
Yes, sir.

1367
01:56:56,030 --> 01:56:59,710
Lieutenant Hodecker has been detained in
the lab. She asked if you'd check her

1368
01:56:59,710 --> 01:57:00,709
ward for her.

1369
01:57:00,710 --> 01:57:01,710
Oh, sure.

1370
01:57:02,650 --> 01:57:04,490
I'll do it right now. Thank you.

1371
01:57:15,170 --> 01:57:19,650
Do you men know what time it is? Where's
old Swivel Hips Hodecker? She's been

1372
01:57:19,650 --> 01:57:21,710
detained in the... Don't call her that.

1373
01:57:22,090 --> 01:57:23,029
See, nursing.

1374
01:57:23,030 --> 01:57:24,030
Want to dance?

1375
01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:25,840
Very funny.

1376
01:57:26,200 --> 01:57:31,480
Now, get into bed, all of you, or I'll
sick Nurse Hovedecker on you. See,

1377
01:57:31,540 --> 01:57:32,540
how's General Patton doing?

1378
01:57:32,720 --> 01:57:33,960
Yeah, how is the old man?

1379
01:57:34,300 --> 01:57:35,300
You're his nurse, aren't you?

1380
01:57:35,940 --> 01:57:38,820
He's doing just fine. How are his
spirits? Is he okay?

1381
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:42,400
Well, uh... Yeah, but he's a real
colorful character, eh?

1382
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:44,500
Oh, he's colorful, all right.

1383
01:57:44,780 --> 01:57:48,200
He won't take any nourishment now unless
he gets some whiskey first.

1384
01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:49,480
Whiskey? That's right.

1385
01:57:49,740 --> 01:57:50,740
What do you know?

1386
01:57:50,980 --> 01:57:53,300
Flat on his back, those awful hooks and
all.

1387
01:57:53,760 --> 01:57:58,740
And still he... No, that's enough. Do
you think he'll ever walk again? I said

1388
01:57:58,740 --> 01:58:01,040
that's enough. No more questions.
Everybody turn in.

1389
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:05,240
And if you don't keep that radio off,
I'll have Nurse Hodecker sit down.

1390
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:09,180
Lieutenant. Good evening.

1391
01:58:10,600 --> 01:58:12,080
Lieutenant Hodecker.

1392
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:20,560
The Great Whiskey Rebellion.

1393
01:58:21,740 --> 01:58:22,740
Poor Bertha.

1394
01:58:23,050 --> 01:58:24,210
Don't be too hard on her.

1395
01:58:25,170 --> 01:58:26,170
Then you don't mind?

1396
01:58:26,450 --> 01:58:27,630
It's good for my reputation.

1397
01:58:29,150 --> 01:58:33,190
Besides, I can use all the laughs I can
get.

1398
01:58:34,610 --> 01:58:35,930
Oh, good. No harm then.

1399
01:58:37,150 --> 01:58:38,930
I'll drop by later. You comfortable?

1400
01:58:39,590 --> 01:58:40,590
Okay.

1401
01:58:42,690 --> 01:58:44,690
I don't suffer, my friends.

1402
01:58:46,830 --> 01:58:50,750
But I do feel a certain difficulty in
existing.

1403
01:59:14,190 --> 01:59:15,190
That you have?

1404
01:59:16,870 --> 01:59:20,430
Well, Georgie, I hear you're improving.

1405
01:59:22,410 --> 01:59:23,550
Where'd you hear that?

1406
01:59:24,810 --> 01:59:30,190
I tell you, there's a lot of lucky
pheasants running around because of the

1407
01:59:30,190 --> 01:59:30,889
I've made.

1408
01:59:30,890 --> 01:59:31,890
Yeah.

1409
01:59:33,590 --> 01:59:36,710
I have something to read to you.

1410
01:59:37,030 --> 01:59:38,350
Yes? Mm -hmm.

1411
01:59:40,690 --> 01:59:42,170
It's a letter from Ike.

1412
01:59:44,080 --> 01:59:48,200
Whatever you say.

1413
01:59:48,440 --> 01:59:49,440
I don't want to hear it.

1414
01:59:53,120 --> 01:59:54,120
Okay, go ahead.

1415
02:00:00,940 --> 02:00:07,340
George, you can imagine what a shock it
was to me to hear of your serious

1416
02:00:07,340 --> 02:00:08,340
accident.

1417
02:00:09,770 --> 02:00:15,130
At first I heard it on the basis of
rumor and simply did not believe,

1418
02:00:15,130 --> 02:00:16,230
it only a story.

1419
02:00:17,630 --> 02:00:23,650
I immediately wired Frankfurt and
learned to my great distress that it was

1420
02:00:24,710 --> 02:00:30,470
The real purpose of this note is simply
to assure you that you will always have

1421
02:00:30,470 --> 02:00:35,650
a job and not to worry about this
accident closing out any of them for

1422
02:00:35,650 --> 02:00:36,650
selection.

1423
02:00:37,530 --> 02:00:39,390
It is always difficult...

1424
02:00:39,640 --> 02:00:44,520
for me to express my true sentiments
when I am deeply moved.

1425
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:52,520
You are never out of my thoughts, and my
hopes and prayers are tied up in your

1426
02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:53,520
speedy recovery.

1427
02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:58,360
With warm personal regards, bye.

1428
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:06,220
All those years down the drain.

1429
02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:10,560
What? What's wrong between us?

1430
02:01:23,700 --> 02:01:24,700
Matt?

1431
02:01:26,300 --> 02:01:27,300
Yes?

1432
02:01:27,760 --> 02:01:30,980
When did you ever get the first name
Hobart?

1433
02:01:36,620 --> 02:01:38,020
I'll be seeing you soon.

1434
02:01:47,210 --> 02:01:48,210
Yeah,

1435
02:01:52,310 --> 02:01:53,310
come in.

1436
02:01:56,430 --> 02:01:57,430
You looking for me?

1437
02:01:57,710 --> 02:01:59,030
Yeah, we have a problem, Paul.

1438
02:02:00,030 --> 02:02:01,030
What?

1439
02:02:01,930 --> 02:02:05,030
Washington does not want General Patton
to die in German soil.

1440
02:02:06,010 --> 02:02:10,170
So we must prepare him for shipment back
to the United States immediately.

1441
02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:12,440
That's impossible.

1442
02:02:12,800 --> 02:02:13,800
That's Washington.

1443
02:02:14,820 --> 02:02:18,660
Even if Patton were out of danger, which
he isn't, he shouldn't be moved for at

1444
02:02:18,660 --> 02:02:19,660
least another six weeks.

1445
02:02:20,660 --> 02:02:22,760
Mobilization of plaster cast leads to
embolism.

1446
02:02:23,080 --> 02:02:26,760
There must be some political benefit in
having him die back home.

1447
02:02:27,240 --> 02:02:30,560
What about all his soldiers who were
buried in Germany? Wouldn't he want to

1448
02:02:30,560 --> 02:02:31,519
with them?

1449
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:32,520
Patton would.

1450
02:02:34,640 --> 02:02:35,640
Why?

1451
02:02:48,170 --> 02:02:49,910
Well, General, looks like you'll be home
for Christmas.

1452
02:02:51,450 --> 02:02:56,730
I'm looking forward to it, Doctor, even
in this cement overcoat.

1453
02:02:57,690 --> 02:02:58,690
Looks good, Bill.

1454
02:02:58,890 --> 02:03:01,350
Thanks. I'll make good ballast.

1455
02:03:01,930 --> 02:03:03,550
Yes, sir, that's for sure.

1456
02:03:04,470 --> 02:03:07,990
Just don't, uh, roll me down the hill.

1457
02:03:09,210 --> 02:03:10,210
We wouldn't do that.

1458
02:03:17,550 --> 02:03:18,550
Come in.

1459
02:03:27,370 --> 02:03:28,370
Hello, B.

1460
02:03:29,310 --> 02:03:30,310
Hello, Hap.

1461
02:03:33,110 --> 02:03:40,030
I, um... I just thought I'd

1462
02:03:40,030 --> 02:03:41,030
check...

1463
02:03:54,750 --> 02:03:59,370
Georgie's fooled everyone with his
stamina and charm.

1464
02:04:02,110 --> 02:04:04,210
I'll accept Colonel Hill. I think he
knows.

1465
02:04:07,070 --> 02:04:08,070
Knows what?

1466
02:04:12,150 --> 02:04:13,810
That Georgie's slipping away.

1467
02:04:18,730 --> 02:04:20,250
A little more each day.

1468
02:04:22,490 --> 02:04:23,670
I can see it.

1469
02:04:24,259 --> 02:04:25,840
Behind the bluff and bravado?

1470
02:04:29,160 --> 02:04:30,160
Don't say that.

1471
02:04:39,720 --> 02:04:41,040
There's something in the air.

1472
02:04:42,480 --> 02:04:43,480
Something mysterious.

1473
02:04:45,740 --> 02:04:48,560
Like enchantment. A miracle of birth.

1474
02:04:48,860 --> 02:04:49,860
Don't you feel it?

1475
02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:59,240
I wish to God transitions weren't so
painful.

1476
02:05:02,860 --> 02:05:03,860
Parting.

1477
02:05:06,420 --> 02:05:07,960
We're all fated to part.

1478
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:12,620
Why should it seem so sad, melting into
memory?

1479
02:05:17,800 --> 02:05:22,940
Anyway, I don't believe death is the
end.

1480
02:05:25,100 --> 02:05:30,280
I think we come back again and again
until we learn whatever it is we're

1481
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:31,280
to learn.

1482
02:05:32,700 --> 02:05:36,380
Otherwise, this existence would seem so
pointless.

1483
02:05:40,340 --> 02:05:42,600
Georgie is an ancient man.

1484
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:50,060
He'll be back as long as the world needs
a warrior soul.

1485
02:05:59,470 --> 02:06:05,710
All these years, I've had to be the hard
-fisted, tough military wife, facing

1486
02:06:05,710 --> 02:06:08,110
every crisis like a soldier without
emotion.

1487
02:06:10,230 --> 02:06:16,630
But all the while, in here, I trembled
for him.

1488
02:06:21,870 --> 02:06:23,070
I'll see this through.

1489
02:06:24,310 --> 02:06:25,370
I won't break.

1490
02:06:31,850 --> 02:06:36,950
They're flying him to Boston before
Christmas.

1491
02:06:39,230 --> 02:06:40,230
I know.

1492
02:06:41,950 --> 02:06:43,070
Is that wise?

1493
02:06:45,190 --> 02:06:46,210
It's what he wants.

1494
02:06:58,960 --> 02:07:02,720
It's been ten days since General George
S. Patton met with that freak highway

1495
02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:04,400
accident south of Frankfurt.

1496
02:07:04,820 --> 02:07:09,440
Even with a broken neck, old blood and
guts is apparently back in command,

1497
02:07:09,820 --> 02:07:14,000
loudly demanding an occasional snort of
whiskey from his pretty nurses.

1498
02:07:14,420 --> 02:07:19,420
Word from inside sources is that Patton
is now sitting up in bed and will soon

1499
02:07:19,420 --> 02:07:24,120
be walking. Good luck to you, General,
from all of us. This is the voice of

1500
02:07:24,120 --> 02:07:26,020
Uncle Sam in Germany, Sam Strausser.

1501
02:07:26,420 --> 02:07:27,420
Fool.

1502
02:07:51,370 --> 02:07:53,310
happy that you're going to take us home.

1503
02:07:58,310 --> 02:07:59,410
How do I look?

1504
02:08:01,390 --> 02:08:02,770
You look fine, George.

1505
02:08:03,290 --> 02:08:04,290
Just fine.

1506
02:08:09,130 --> 02:08:11,130
You always were a lousy liar.

1507
02:08:19,130 --> 02:08:20,130
How's respiration?

1508
02:08:21,390 --> 02:08:25,330
Erratic. It's that embolism I was afraid
of. We can't make an aortic examination

1509
02:08:25,330 --> 02:08:26,490
because of that cast.

1510
02:08:27,350 --> 02:08:28,590
What you're telling me, then.

1511
02:08:29,750 --> 02:08:31,070
It's the beginning of the end.

1512
02:08:31,690 --> 02:08:33,430
You told us to look, it was you.

1513
02:08:35,170 --> 02:08:36,470
Oh, yes, I remember.

1514
02:08:39,310 --> 02:08:41,850
How brave I was from a safe distance.

1515
02:08:47,290 --> 02:08:49,050
You said there were new x -rays.

1516
02:08:50,260 --> 02:08:51,260
Yes, this morning.

1517
02:08:52,080 --> 02:08:53,080
And?

1518
02:08:54,920 --> 02:08:57,840
There's an embolism in the upper right
lung. We don't know where it came from.

1519
02:09:00,280 --> 02:09:04,280
We've prescribed digitalis, saline drip,
protein.

1520
02:09:04,660 --> 02:09:06,160
What is the matter with us?

1521
02:09:13,840 --> 02:09:15,380
Why can't we let him go?

1522
02:09:41,410 --> 02:09:46,930
I hate going out in the snow

1523
02:11:28,080 --> 02:11:29,080
Were you dreaming?

1524
02:11:31,560 --> 02:11:32,700
I don't know.

1525
02:11:34,380 --> 02:11:36,400
Something a long time ago, I think.

1526
02:11:38,680 --> 02:11:39,880
Dreams are elusive.

1527
02:11:43,180 --> 02:11:44,960
Catalina. What?

1528
02:11:46,320 --> 02:11:47,320
My dream.

1529
02:11:48,820 --> 02:11:49,820
Catalina.

1530
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:52,380
Was I in it?

1531
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:55,000
You?

1532
02:11:57,040 --> 02:11:58,040
Of course not.

1533
02:11:59,560 --> 02:12:01,040
I don't believe you.

1534
02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:03,180
I was there.

1535
02:12:04,600 --> 02:12:06,940
And it was 1902.

1536
02:12:07,860 --> 02:12:10,560
And you were a gangly boy, Beanpole.

1537
02:12:11,140 --> 02:12:12,600
And I was a tomboy.

1538
02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:16,300
And we rode together all over that
island.

1539
02:12:17,020 --> 02:12:22,140
And before the summer was out, we had
our understanding.

1540
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:26,680
How did you know my dream? That's
exactly... what it was.

1541
02:12:27,020 --> 02:12:30,060
I was 15 then. I still played with
dolls.

1542
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,580
I was a child and she was a child in
this kingdom by the sea.

1543
02:12:40,720 --> 02:12:45,580
But we loved with a love that was more
than love.

1544
02:12:48,100 --> 02:12:49,100
Beatrice?

1545
02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:53,440
Georgie.

1546
02:12:53,860 --> 02:12:54,920
Georgie, you had...

1547
02:12:55,160 --> 02:12:56,700
Two beautiful horses.

1548
02:12:57,320 --> 02:12:58,540
Do you remember?

1549
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,860
And all the boys, they envied you so?

1550
02:13:04,140 --> 02:13:10,860
Yeah. My father gave them to me. The
black I

1551
02:13:10,860 --> 02:13:12,840
named Galahad.

1552
02:13:13,080 --> 02:13:16,560
And the brown was Marmion.

1553
02:13:16,860 --> 02:13:19,280
Marmion. Such a fine horse.

1554
02:13:19,700 --> 02:13:21,700
And what a beautiful heart.

1555
02:13:23,470 --> 02:13:28,310
I had a dog named Polvo who slept in
Marmion's stall.

1556
02:13:29,630 --> 02:13:34,950
I remember one night going down to the
stable when I was supposed to be

1557
02:13:34,950 --> 02:13:41,570
and lying in a straw beside Polvo and
looking up at

1558
02:13:41,570 --> 02:13:47,950
Marmion and thinking, I must be

1559
02:13:47,950 --> 02:13:49,950
the luckiest boy.

1560
02:14:02,280 --> 02:14:03,280
You come back here?

1561
02:14:06,080 --> 02:14:07,200
It's too dark.

1562
02:14:08,560 --> 02:14:12,560
I mean, too late.

1563
02:14:36,080 --> 02:14:37,080
Come in.

1564
02:14:41,060 --> 02:14:46,500
B, Sperling and I are going over to the
officer's mess for dinner.

1565
02:14:46,760 --> 02:14:47,780
Why don't you come along?

1566
02:14:49,200 --> 02:14:51,040
No, I should stay here.

1567
02:14:52,340 --> 02:14:53,820
You've got to eat something.

1568
02:15:52,510 --> 02:15:54,790
Do you speak English?

1569
02:15:55,130 --> 02:15:56,089
Yeah.

1570
02:15:56,090 --> 02:15:59,950
We ask that you please remain on this
floor only.

1571
02:16:00,610 --> 02:16:07,570
No scuffling, no unnecessary
conversations, and only 20 minutes

1572
02:16:07,570 --> 02:16:10,670
tonight. We appreciate your coming.

1573
02:16:11,350 --> 02:16:13,270
Everyone's been looking forward to it.
