:08:15
They're certainly at the back.
What's it like at the front?
:08:25
We're surrounded.
:08:29
Yes. Quite.
:08:37
I was rather expecting to see you
again, General Sosabowski.
:08:40
Do please sit down.
:08:45
The Polish drop has been cancelled
again. I would like an explanation.
:08:49
Well, I expect the fog has
a certain amount to do with it.
:08:52
I'm told there are aircraft flying
50 miles to the south.
:08:55
Explain to me why my men and equipment
cannot be moved from here to there...
:08:58
and then fly to Arnhem.
:09:00
That's a very reasonable question.
:09:02
I don't want to bother you with
a lot of meteorological mumbo jumbo...
:09:07
but the fact is, you see,
whether we like it or not...
:09:09
fog-- it moves.
:09:12
Of course it moves. Where?
:09:14
That's very difficult
to say, General.
:09:16
It's very slippery stuff, fog.
:09:19
You think you've got it,
then it reverses itself...
:09:22
and leaves you behind.
:09:25
Won't you please sit down?
:09:28
What I'm trying to say, General...
:09:31
is even if we move your troops
the 50 miles--
:09:33
I grant you,
now the sun is shining--
:09:35
the chances are that
by the time we get there...
:09:38
the fog could quite easily
have preceded us.
:09:41
- So we simply have to wait.
- And do nothing.
:09:44
I think that puts it rather well.
