- Hello, Colonel.
- Nice to see you, General.

:08:16
Mr Giffin from Texas, General Finney,
General McAndrew, Colonel Plummer.

:08:20
- My pleasure.
- Mr Salvatore, from New York.

:08:22
- The Bronx.
- Nobody's going to think you're Wall Street.

:08:25
Mr Yandell, Congressman from Virginia.
Mr Kraus, Congressman from Illinois.

:08:29
Hold it, everybody.
Want to get some of this brass.

:08:33
Snappy little outfit you have.
:08:35
Thank you. I have to apologise for the band.
:08:37
- You should indeed.
- We're half strength today.

:08:40
- We generally have 40 pieces.
- That's terrible.

:08:43
We sent the others to the British sector
for a parade. It's Empire Day.

:08:47
What's terrible is I came hoping to find
an army taking its task with seriousness.

:08:51
Instead I find you have a 40-piece band.
:08:54
Perhaps you also have
some drum majorettes.

:08:56
- May I introduce...
- I know.

:08:58
General Finney, General McAndrew
and Colonel Plummer.

:09:01
It's in my data. I am Miss Frost,
Congresswoman from Iowa, 9th district.

:09:05
Delightful of Congress to send us
a lady representative for a change.

:09:08
Delightful.
:09:09
May I suggest here and now that
we dispense with all the soft soap.

:09:13
As committee chairman,
permit me to bring you greetings

:09:16
from the people
of the United States of America.

:09:19
This genial reception augurs well
for the success of our mission.

:09:24
I sincerely hope so. And now let us proceed
to a luncheon we have prepared for you.

:09:29
A very simple luncheon. Powdered egg
omelette, probably, and a little Spam.

:09:40
- Can I carry that for you?
- No, thank you.

:09:43
I undertook to deliver it in person
to a Captain John Pringle,

:09:46
stationed somewhere in Berlin, G2 Section.
:09:49
- Could you tell me how to go about it?
- I could try.

:09:52
Through army channels?
All I have is five days.

:09:55
Captain Pringle!
:09:58
Captain Pringle!
