He didn't want his favorite general
to lose face.
:55:04
I'm my favorite general,
and I don't like to be told. . .
:55:07
. . .that some second-stringer
is up against me. Then I lose face.
:55:18
Who the hell are you, anyway?
:55:20
CARVER: General, this is Lieutenant
Colonel Codman. Your new aide.
:55:23
Codman. I pulled your name off
the list because I know your family.
:55:27
I'm glad you did, sir.

Rommel is the best the krauts have,
and I kicked the hell out of him.
:55:32
Now my own G2 section is telling
me he wasn't even there.
:55:35
But, general, he undoubtedly
planned the German battle.
:55:40
lf you defeat Rommel's plan, you've
defeated Rommel. lsn't that true?

I have a plan
for the invasion of Sicily.
:55:55
I want to make sure I get it approved.
You can help me.

I want to give a dinner
for General Alexander.
:56:01
Get to him before Montgomery does.
:56:03
This will be strictly a formal affair,
Codman, but purely social.
:56:09
By that I mean. . .
:56:10
-. . .purely political.
-Yes, sir.
:56:12
I want the finest food, the best wine
available. Everything, comme il faut.
