Jawohl, mein Colonel! [Salutes Hogan]
[Shakes his head] Oh, Schultz, you idiot, you don't salute him, he's your prisoner! And see to it that it stays that way!
[Salutes Klink] Jawohl, mein Kommandant!
And bring Carter back! Diiismissed!
[Klink goes back inside the camp office.]
Colonel Hogan. What are we really going to do?
BGBritish General
Hogan. Bit of a dirty trick, flying you to London for an hour of being a free man and then dropping you back at Stalag 13.
BGBritish General
[Laughs] You're a good man. [Pulls out a marked map of Europe] Guess what this is.
BGBritish General
D-Day. And forget you saw it. [Puts the map away] Now, I can't tell you the exact date. Even to tell you this much had to be cleared to the highest level of intelligence. The Old Man himself. But- the date will be soon.
It's been a long time coming, sir.
BGBritish General
A long time. And we don't want any mistakes. Not on our part.
BGBritish General
Of course, we could use a few mistakes from Jerry, and that's why you're here, Hogan.
[Major Hochsetter sends a female Gestapo Spy to Stalig 13 to confirm his suspecions about Colonel Hogan; he has one possible lead, Sergeant Schultz, who may have information without knowing it]
GSGestapo Spy
[about Schultz] This one looks stupid enough.
HHochsetter
Why not? He studied under Klink.
Kommandant Klink says you can have ten minutes with the prisoner.
Ten minutes?! Oh, come on, Schultz. Hardly long enough to eat a chocolate bar.
[Hogan takes out a bar of chocolate.]
Eat slowly. [hands the bar to Schultz]
[Klink and Hochstetter summon Group Captain James Roberts, a recently-captured British officer, to Klink's office. He enters and comes face-to-face with a man identical to himself.]
GJGroup Captain James Roberts
In Heaven's name.
Group Captain Roberts- Leutnant Baumann.
GRGroup Captain Roberts
He could be my twin!
They do wonderful plastic surgery! I had this friend in Dusseldorf. A Mrs. Schmidt; charming woman. Slight sag around the chin, but you know how it is. Anyway, see saw this surgeon. He advised her-
[visibly annoyed] Not now, Klink.
GRGroup Captain Roberts
This is monstrous.
The Leutnant looked a great deal like you from the start, but the surgeons have done a remarkable job, no?
GRGroup Captain Roberts
[realizing] The pictures. That's why you took those pictures of me.
LBLeutnant Baumann
Yes, indeed, Group Captain. From the beginning it's been rather a lark. Jolly good fun, actually.
GRGroup Captain Roberts
He's even imitated my voice. Of course, the recordings.
I'm glad. I don't think we need to attend to Group Captain Roberts any longer, Colonel.
Of course not, Major! I think it's time we moved him to slightly less comfortable quarters, but, shall we say, more colourful?
GRGroup Captain Roberts
Whatever it is your planning, you won't get away with it. I promise you that.
HHilda
Colonel Klink, Colonel Hogan has requested to see you.
By all means, let him come in.
HHilda
Jawohl, Herr Kommandant.
Our fish is nibbling at the bait.
Yes, Hogan, what is it, what is it?
You have a new prisoner, Group Captain James Roberts, RAF. I want to see him.
He wants to see the prisoner. That's not surprising.
Of course, now that I've made the request, I'm sure you'll deny it.
He says we'll deny it. We will?
As senior officer here, I'm entitled to talk to any new prisoner brought into this stalag, and you know it. If I'm not allowed to see him, it'll be in direct violation of the Geneva Prisoner of War Convention, and I'll make a formal complaint to the Red Cross and the protecting power.
Very well, you may see the prisoner.
You may see the prisoner.
And believe me, when word gets back to the big boys on our side, you'll see what happens to Ger-(pause) What did you say?
I said you may see the prisoner anytime you like.
There you are, Hogan. Your request has been granted.
You guys ought to give me a little notice when you're going to do something decent.
Yeah. I faint very easily.
This Gestapo agent sounds like real trouble.
Never known one who wasn't.
Just say the word, Colonel, and I'll make sure he's no trouble at all.
Sure, then we'll really be in trouble. When a Gestapo agent's been killed?
Who'll know he's been killed? I'll make it look like he died of an accidental cut throat.
