NewkirkIt's a vintage wine. Aged almost 2 weeks.
NewkirkSo that's the setup, General. Maybe I shouldn't speak up like this, but, well, I just wanted you to know how we all feel about Colonel Hogan. And you can't put me in jail for it 'cause legally speakin' I'm in jail already.
NewkirkWhat're you doing after the broadcast, sweetheart?
NewkirkA gift for the one man who's got everything. An ammo dump.
Cpl. Peter NewkirkSteal a German tank?!
We'll give it back... after we take it apart and make blueprints of it.
Well, how do we get ahold of it?
How do we get it in here?
Cpl. Peter NewkirkWhere are we going to hide a tank?
Where do we take it apart?
Look, I got the idea of stealing it, right? The rest is detail.
We're gonna build the bridge with a very special feature.
NewkirkWhat do you mean by that?
It's going to be the only bridge in the world with a built-in bomb.
Newkirk, what about a civilian suit this time for me?
NewkirkRighto, guv'nor, you got it.
Good. 'Civilian.' What a beautiful word. Next to 'girls.'
NewkirkColonel, don't you ever think about anything else but dames?
Of course I do, but I fight it.
If only we could knock (the guns) out.
Hey! Maybe hand grenades could do some damage!
NewkirkThey're 15 miles from here, at least.
Well, I'll warm up my pitching arm....
What are the forgery boys working on?
Raffle tickets. We've been selling them to the Krauts.
Raffle tickets?
NewkirkThey're for an all-expenses-paid trip to New Orleans in time for Mardi Gras. It's for after the war.
I think we can get to Bonuccelli.
How are you going to do that?
Work on his weaknesses.
NewkirkItalians are very sentimental.
And they love music.
Anybody know the words to Santa Lucia?
NewkirkI'll bet even the Germans eat a lot of pizza in Capezio, blimey?
Yes, they do! ... Yes, they do.
Off-hand, how many pizzas do the Germans eat, figuring 2 pizzas a German?
That's a secret... 2 pizzas, one German? 106,000.
106,000? (Thinks)
Just divide by 2.
I could be shot for being a spy.
NewkirkYou're not really a spy, you'd be in uniform.
In uniform, they'd shoot me for being a traitor. Please, not while I'm eating.
Just think what you'd be doing for your country. It could help shorten the war in Italy.
It could also shorten my life.
[Carter and Newkirk, disguised as POW camp commandants Bussie and Burmeister, have broken into General Burkhalter's quarters and are threatening to shoot him. General Burkhalter, terrified, is trying to stall them.]
This is all so unnecessary! I was thinking of retiring! I was just saying to Hilda, that who would succeed me, but one of you two? My dearest friends!
NewkirkWhat of Klink?
Forget him! He's to be shot! I never could stand the man!
[Outside] Burmeister! Bussie! You're surrounded! Come out with your hands up!
What a wonderful friend!
I say we do it to him before he does it to us.
NewkirkRight. Knock him off.
Hey, you can't just go around knocking off German officers; the ones that're left start asking embarrassing questions.
Repoooort!
Herr Kommandant, all present and accounted for.
Good. Now, men, I have a very important announcement to make.
NewkirkHey, they're gonna surrender!
Good move!
Hey, the Krauts are gonna surrender!
Who told you?
I just heard it!
[The prisoners all cheer and applaud.]
Colonel Hogan, control your men!
I can't, sir, the news of your surrender is-
Who said anything about a surrender?
You did.
When?
Just now, you used the word yourself.
Only to deny it!
Well, I had to start somewhere.
Silence!
Okay, men, the surrender's off!
[The prisoners boo.]
Now I've just had word that General Stauffen of the Fuehrer's headquarters will personally visit Stalag 13. I expect every prisoner in this camp to clean up and look neat.
NewkirkCan't do it. Somebody stole me mascara brush!
