:21:02
Yes, sir?
:21:05
Just making sure
whose side you're on.

:21:58
Now, a drop zone
eight miles from Arnhem Bridge...

:22:01
might be thought by some
to present problems.

:22:04
My God, he can't mean it.
:22:06
I'm afraid he does.
Must know what he's doing.

:22:09
That's more than I know. Why should
he have a corner on the market?

:22:13
...cannot under any stretch
of the imagination be considered ideal.

:22:17
But the gliders will be bringing in
a reconnaissance squadron of jeeps...

:22:21
specially fitted
with twin Vickers machine guns.

:22:25
The instant we land,
they will race ahead to the bridge...

:22:28
and hold it...
:22:30
until the other battalions
arrive on foot.

:22:32
And they'll be quick enough
to secure both ends of Arnhem Bridge?

:22:35
- Most certainly.
- Good.

:22:37
My headquarters will be
in the center with 82nd.

:22:41
Now, just you remember that
we're all totally interlocked.

:22:44
This is a bottom-to-top operation.
:22:46
101st pass 30 Corps
on to 82nd.

:22:49
82nd pass them on
to British Airborne.

:22:53
If any one group fails,
it's total failure for us all.

:22:58
All we need now
are three days of clear skies.
