The Devil's Brigade Page #2

Synopsis: During World War II, a special fighting unit is formed that combines a crack Canadian Army unit and a conglomeration of U.S. Army misfits who had previously served time in military jails. After an initial period of conflict between the two groups, their enmity turns to respect and friendship, and the unit is sent Italy to attempt a dangerous mission that has heretofore been considered impossible to carry out.

- You're asking for it, dago, you really are.

- Knock off the chatter, and get in step!

How about it?

Got a cure for that, Sergeant?

Yes, sir. Double time! March!

- That's the name of the game.

- What's your name, Luckhouse Louie?

Listen, we're not sharks in the game.

Luck's got nothing to do with it.

- Talkin' about luck, know how I got here?

- Who cares?

A sweet young thing

in San Jose says I raped her...

...takes all my money, every cent,

and blows the whistle on me.

They give me five years in Leavenworth,

or join this fearless fighting outfit.

- How's that for luck?

- Yeah, it's a great country.

Every slob can get clipped, whipped,

and double dipped at the same time.

Beat your gums, dago.

Beat 'em till they bleed.

I'm out $6.

Now, come on, deal the cards, damn it.

The only way out of here is over.

By balloon or P-38?

Did you ever hear of Bernheimer's

world-renowned circus?

What about the Flying Greco Brothers?

Hold still, right?

- I'll be damned.

- Omar Greco.

- They call me Bronc.

- All right, Bronc.

My real name's Bronco Billy Guthrie.

- How many times you made it out?

- About five.

Bronc, I got a system, but I need a partner.

Let's hear about your system...

...partner.

All right. Come on.

If I'm gonna make it...

- Anybody question the requisitions?

- No, sir. It was a breeze.

We even got a wave-on from the guard.

Beautiful.

That's just fine. Great.

You guys get them around back fast.

Next trip, the toilet bowls.

All right, big mouth, that did it.

- Wait a minute. It was all my fault.

- Butt out!

Get him!

On your feet, dago. You got more comin'.

Change direction right!

Right wheel.

Mark time in front.

Canadian company...

...halt.

Left turn.

Maj. Crown, sir. Canadian army.

Reporting for duty.

Glad to have you with us, Crown.

Ready, company...

Capt. Cardwell, get these men

into formation on the double.

Sergeant, company formation

on the double.

Company formation over here

and on the double, let's go!

Come on, move it. On the double.

God save the King.

God save us all.

Parade rest!

Welcome to the First Special Service Force.

There's only one really important thing

to know and remember about the force.

It's the easiest combat unit in the army...

...to get out of.

All you have to do is fail to measure up.

You'll be returned immediately

to your former unit...

...or predicament.

It's entirely up to you.

You Canadians, I'm told...

...are the handpicked best

of the best-trained army in the world.

We'll soon find out about that.

You Americans, for the most part...

...have an entirely different reputation.

I've been supplied with full details

on your military and moral delinquencies...
