I'm gonna beat that. . .
1:11:02
. . .gentleman to Messina.
1:11:11
Ah, Freddie. Do you realize what
this madman Patton is saying?
1:11:15
He's going to save our skins
by taking Messina.
1:11:17
This report might interest you.
1:11:19
Here I am in these bloody marshes,
fighting malaria and Germans. . .
1:11:23
. . .while he's taking Palermo
and getting all the glory.
1:11:28
Well!
1:11:29
Now he's up against three good
German divisions and he's stuck.
1:11:33
He's not going to get Messina.
1:11:35
That's reserved for the
British 8th Army and me.

(BOMBS EXPLODING)
1:11:45
It's time for a move, Lucian. Terry
Allen's 1 st Division is bogged down.
1:11:49
You're bogged down too.
1:11:51
What we need is another end run
just to break things loose.
1:11:55
-Lucian. How's my fighter?
-Fine, George.
1:11:59
Come in, come in. We need another
one of your amphibious specialties.
1:12:06
Lucian, I want you to send a
reinforced battalion by sea. . .
1:12:10
. . .to make a landing up here at Brolo
behind the kraut lines.
1:12:14
You want me to do a land-based attack.
1:12:16
Right. I want a coordinated
attack the morning of the 1 1 th.
1:12:19
I don't think we can make it
by the 11 th.
1:12:22
-Hell, it's only 1 5, 20 miles.
-My boys have been dying for yards.
1:12:27
Hm.
1:12:29
Maybe you better kick a few butts
if you have to.
1:12:33
I recommended you for your DSM
in your last promotion.
1:12:36
I know what you can do when
you put your mind to it.
1:12:39
Excuse me, sir.
1:12:42
I'm sorry, but I can't
do the impossible.
1:12:46
You're too old an athlete to think
you can postpone a scheduled match.
1:12:50
You're an old athlete yourself.
You know matches are postponed.
1:12:53
lf we can't back Lucian up by land,
our end run could be a disaster.
1:12:58
Those men might get caught
on the beach and cut to pieces.
