-Thank you.
-Can I get you coffee?

:24:04
-No, thanks.
-I'll get some for myself.g

:24:17
Is it still raining?
:24:18
On and off, off and on.p
:24:20
Sometimes I wonder
which side God's on.

:24:23
What?l
:24:25
I say, sometimes I wonder
which side God's on.

:24:29
Good question.
:24:31
What's on your mind, Van?
:24:33
I'm concerned about the placement
of our drop zones.

:24:36
Go on.t
:24:38
I know this is a hell of a late date
to bring up something new...

:24:42
...but you've given me
a tough nut to crack.

:24:44
-It gets tougher every time I try.
-I know, Van.

:24:48
Sainte-Mére-Eglise straddles
the only road the Germans can use...

:24:52
...to drive into our northern flank.
But it has to be taken.

:24:56
And it has to be held.p
:24:59
That's why I gave you the job, Van.
:25:05
-Can I use your board?
-Of course.

:25:12
Here's the town. Heavily fortified.
:25:15
Down here is the swamp area
that the Germans have flooded.

:25:19
And in between, four miles
from the town, is our drop zone.

:25:23
Now if anything goes wrong
and we undershoot...i

:25:26
...we land in this flooded area
and are bogged down.

:25:29
lf we overshoot, we come down
like clay pigeons...

:25:32
...smack dab in the center
of Sainte-Mére-Eglise.

:25:36
That's why I gave the men training
in low-level jumps near the villages.

:25:40
So I've heard.w
:25:44
Got a complaint from
the city council at Bexhall.

:25:48
Some of your men overshot
the drop zone and landed in the town.

:25:53
-Tied up traffic for an hour.
-That's true, sir. I was with them.

:25:57
Sudden crosswind hit us,
swept us over the treetops...
