All right, come down for a while.

Whats the matter, Waco?

The motor.

Starving you to death, huh?

We got to save gas,

same as we save water.

Sarge, got to grease the wheels.

Make it quick,

we got to keep moving.

Try that radio again, Jimmy.

Well go in a minute.

Eat something,

and drink 1l3 cup of water.

Be sure to measure with the cup.

Get anything?

Nothing but static and Heil Hitler!

No contact, so we dont know

where the army will be.

At the worst, the line

will be anchored at Tobruk.

- We should circle like this.

- Will our petrol hold out?

I figure we got about enough

for 160 miles.

Water, lm worried about.

Lve got to find one of those wells.

They call them wells on the map.

But most of them are only

dried up mudholes full of sand.

Wish I could put my feet

in a nice big bucket of water.

Must be 1000 centigrade

in these boots.

My throat needs it

worse than my feet.

- I suffer from corns.

- Lm fed up with your feet.

So am I.

Been fed up with them for years.

- Did you finish, Waco?

- Not yet.

Why you call him Waco?

Lts a city in Texas.

We call it The City With a Soul.

Why?

Come to think of it,

I never figured why.

We got a sign on the biggest building:

City With a Soul.

How about another city

with a soul? Paris.

You from Paris, Frenchie?

No, but for every Frenchman,

Paris is the soul. La France.

All my life

lve wanted to go to Paris.

Sometime, maybe well go there.

Ld like to go home.

You fellas like to see

a photo of a beautiful girl?

- Shes pretty. Whats her name?

- Kathy.

Very nice.

Shes a corker.

I told you to measure

that water in a cup.

- I wasnt thinking.

- Lll do the thinking for you.

Frenchie, bring the canteens to me.

Weve got our own officer.

Lll take my orders from him.

Lm glad you brought

that up, Williams.

Lve something to say

to the men, sergeant.

Weve only one purpose.

To save ourselves

so that we can fight again.

Weve got to work together

and have discipline.

Sergeant Gunn was in command

when we joined him.

Hes an experienced soldier...

...and it seems proper to ask him

to continue in that capacity.

I shall confer with him on the safety

and conduct of the expedition...

...but immediate authority

will rest with him.

My canteen, sergeant.

Thank you, sir.

Here you are, Frenchie.

What do you make of them?

Thats what lm trying to figure out.

Hey, Waco.

Fire shots in front of them.

That ought to turn them back into us.

Thats a British Sudanese

with an Italian prisoner.

I think hes going to fight us.

Give me something white to wave.

Make it snappy.

It is true, Bimbashi.

I thought ld captured an enemy tank.

Whered you get this prisoner?
