:38:00
- Want some coffee, Captain?
- No thanks, sir.
:38:03
- Just as well. This is the only cup.
- Yes, sir.
:38:06
How about a jigger of poison
with a hemlock chaser?
:38:09
More like it, sir.
:38:12
Captain, I think you have as good
a war record as any man in this town.
:38:17
You were on the first team since Normandy
and you sure carried the ball.
:38:21
I know you were among the first ten men
to cross the Remagen Bridge.
:38:26
I also know why you were in such a hurry.
:38:30
Did you know what a hot potato
you had on your hands?
:38:33
Well, not quite, sir.
I... had a hunch it was warm, all right.
:38:38
Sometimes I wonder
if it isn't a waste of money
:38:41
to import 11,000 ping-pong tables
for the recreation of you young men.
:38:47
Captain, you might as well realise
:38:49
we've been wise to you
and the von Schlütow woman all along.
:38:52
I kind of figured you were peeking.
:38:54
The army has been counting on you
for a certain pattern of behaviour.
:38:57
- You let us down but good.
- Sorry, sir.
:39:01
Since that committee arrived,
you've been playing a double bill
:39:04
with the lady from Iowa in the upper half.
:39:07
I'd appreciate it
if you leave her out of this, sir.
:39:11
You would?
:39:13
Pressure has been exerted to have you
go back to the United States for a while.
:39:18
- So I've heard.
- You're not going of course.
:39:21
Of course. When do proceedings start, sir?
:39:25
Captain Pringle, you're to stay away
from that certain party, off limits.
:39:30
Suits me fine. It was all washed up
anyway as far as I'm concerned.
:39:33
Let's get this straight. You're to stay
away from the Congresswoman.
:39:38
Oh?
:39:40
Pick up that torch for
Fräulein von Schlütow,
:39:42
light it again and carry it in public,
that's an order.
:39:46
- Well, how do you do.
- You've heard of Hans Otto Birgel?
:39:49
- That was her guy.
- He's hiding out in the American zone.
:39:53
- He's dead.
- He's very much alive.
:39:55
And thanks to you, he's kicking.
:39:57
We had a hunch about him
so we watched Miss von Schlütow.
