PATTON: Let me ask you a question
for a change.

1:09:42
You've just come from Washington.
1:09:44
How do they feel about our boys
taking Palermo?

1:09:47
The general impression is, your army
barreled through token resistance. . .

1:09:51
. . .while Montgomery faced the brunt
of the fighting.

1:09:54
Don't they know we took on
the Hermann Göring division?

1:09:57
Toughest outfit in the German Army.
1:09:58
The people at home
are interested in you.

1:10:00
They're curious about your
pearl-handle revolvers.

1:10:03
They're ivory. Only a pimp
from a New Orleans whorehouse. . .

1:10:06
. . .would carry a pearl handle.
1:10:08
What about your language?
1:10:10
When I want it to stick,
I give it to them loud and dirty.

1:10:13
What do your troops feel about that?
1:10:15
I don't want these men to love me.
I want them to fight for me.

1:10:18
Ernie Pyle says you have a secret
weapon here: General Bradley.

1:10:23
Ernie calls him "The GI General. "
1:10:25
Omar Bradley is no secret.
He's a damn fine commander.

1:10:28
MAN:
What's your feeling about Montgomery?

1:10:30
PATTON:
He's the best general the English have.

1:10:32
He seems more concerned with not
losing than he does about winning.

1:10:36
He's not aggressive enough,
is that correct?

1:10:40
Look, I've been getting into
a lot of trouble lately.

1:10:43
Yesterday, the office told me
that my Italian prisoners. . .

1:10:46
. . .didn't have enough latrine.
1:10:48
They didn't know what a
latrine was till I showed them.

1:10:51
lf I've said anything too critical
of my British colleague. . .

1:10:55
. . .let's forget about it.
1:10:56
I will tell you one thing, though.
Off the record.
