1:02:33
I don't think I've made
myself clear, sir.
1:02:36
It's true, Montgomery met the
toughest resistance there at Catania.
1:02:39
However, if we're--
1:02:40
Perfectly clear.
1:02:42
Old Monty is as stuck
as a bug on flypaper.
1:02:47
But this order from
General Alexander. . .
1:02:49
. . .directing you to turn over the
Vizzini-Caltagirone road to Montgomery.
1:02:53
Well, then, old Bradley will have to
slug-- slug, mind you. . .
1:02:57
. . .his way up center of the island over
those tough mountain roads, won't he?
1:03:01
Yes, sir.
1:03:03
Messina, Bell.
1:03:05
Messina. . .
1:03:07
. . .is the heart of it. lf they'd
followed my plan, I'd be there by now.
1:03:10
I'd cut off the retreat of every
German on this island!
1:03:15
Now, you know what I'm gonna do?
1:03:17
I'm gonna go to Palermo.
1:03:18
I'm gonna beat that limey at Messina
if it's the last thing I ever do!
1:03:22
Hey, what's all this talk about taking
the Vizzini road away from 2nd Corps?
1:03:30
General Alexander's orders.
Road goes to Montgomery.
1:03:33
Now, that road was assigned to me.
1:03:36
How can I get north without it?
You know the terrain there.
1:03:39
I'm sorry, Brad. But Monty's run
into tough opposition. Very tough.
1:03:46
You wouldn't be taking advantage of
this situation, would you?
1:03:49
I don't know what you're talking about.
1:03:51
Without that road, your army,
except for my 2nd Corps. . .
1:03:54
. . .would be out of a job.
1:03:56
Free for you to go into Palermo.
1:03:58
Who said anything about Palermo?
