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?
1:04:02
I can read a map.
1:04:05
Does Alexander know
you've pushed out this far?
1:04:07
That's a reconnaissance in force.
1:04:13
George. . .
1:04:16
. . .are you saying I've got to slug
it out in those mountains. . .
1:04:18
. . .with heavy resistance?
1:04:21
Just so you can make
a bigger splash than Monty?
1:04:24
General. . .
1:04:26
. . .I just follow my orders.
1:04:28
Like the simple old soldier I am.
1:04:32
General Bradley.
1:04:34
Sir, General Alexander has heard
we're moving west.
1:04:38
He says here, "Stop immediately.
Go no farther than Agrigento.
1:04:42
Repeat. Stop, immediately. "
1:04:45
That's what you think it says.
1:04:48
I think it was garbled
in transmission.
1:04:51
Ask them to re-transmit the message.
1:04:54
That'll take half a day at least.
1:04:56
Yes, sir.
