we go back in the line.

I don't think you have the welfare

of your men at heart.

This is a big town,

with a lot of passionate broads...

...great restaurants, feather beds

in rooms with hot water...

Look, Captain, we've been rained on,

pushed on, bombed on...

...mortared on by Mulligan all the way

from the Normandy Beachhead.

I'm aware of that problem, Sergeant.

You've been aware of that problem ever

since we got out of the water at Omaha!

Look, why is it that every time

we get to a town like Nancy...

...these guys with the clean uniforms

and the ties...

...get to ride in the trucks into town

and make their pitch?

The General says we pull out,

so we pull out.

Look, Captain! You can't let them do this!

I must get my men near some broads

before they start freaking-out.

I'm aware that,

that situation might be developing.

Think I could get this in the hold of a B-17?

We're point section

to the whole damn Army!

Nancy's our town, Captain!

Babra says there's a company

of Germans pushing up.

I'll be with you in a minute! Captain!

We got it all figured out.

We even got a guide!

- All we have to do is get in there!

- These German divisions say you can't.

So we need a little help!

All I need is to get this yacht out of here.

Get back to the barn.

I'll get the engineers and do it myself.

You're supposed to be

in charge of this outfit!

You're doing such a good job.

Why should I get in your way?

Hey, Cowboy!

There are three tanks coming up the road.

I suggest you get activated.

Hold it down there a bit, Willard.

The Corporal's trying to tell us something.

Yes, sir. You're telling me what?

There are three tanks coming up the road.

I suggest you get activated!

Now, come on, pal!

Ain't you got any Shermans?

We've been polishing these things

for two days!

If we take them out there in that rain,

they'll rust up on us.

Don't give me a hard time.

Get off your ass, and get out there!

Yes, sir. I didn't mean nothing!

I was just trying to tell you

how we're feeling, ain't that right, Willy?

"Hold the ground at all costs?"

But we're a reconnaissance company!

It's not our job to hold the ground!

That's an infantry's job!

We're supposed to go out

and find someplace...

...look at it and tell you

what the situation is.

I can tell you what the situation is!

It stinks!

It's wet, it's cold,

and we're under heavy fire!

Yes! Yes!

Are they sending anything to support us?

They say they haven't got anything.

We've been ordered to hold.
