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.
1:13:02
-What's the matter?
BRADLEY: All we're saying is. . .
1:13:04
. . .not to rush in until we're ready.
1:13:07
Give him an extra day.
1:13:09
Just one more day.
1:13:11
The landing is on.
1:13:13
We're going to Messina.
1:13:15
We're going to get there before
Montgomery does.
1:13:18
-What's so important about that?
-General Truscott. . .
1:13:23
. . .if your conscience won't permit
you to conduct this operation. . .
1:13:26
. . .I'll find somebody who can.
1:13:28
General, it's your privilege to
relieve me anytime you want to.
1:13:33
This match will not be postponed.
1:13:38
Any questions?
1:13:45
No, sir.
1:13:47
You're a very good man, Lucian.
1:13:49
You want to guard against
being too conservative.
1:13:52
Remember what
Frederick the Great said:
1:13:55
''L 'audace, I'audace!
Toujours I'audace!''
