You know, I think I sneak over there
and give it a big whang myself.
Why not? What's to lose?
Damn it.
Why did he have to mention Fort Bragg?
I was lucky, all right,
in that crap game.
Next day I break my leg in a jump.
And two months in traction.
$2500.
That's more money I ever had
in my whole life.
I know.
Man, I just know.
I wonder how long it takes
to lose $2500?
Pint of sludge, Ted.
Oh, hello, Dave.
Hey, you seen Johnny?
Yes.
Well, where is he?
Come on, Dave.
I need my boots.
Johnny's borrowed them.
Where is he?
At the bottom...
...of the Channel.
You mean...
...he's bought it?
Ack-ack over Calais.
He jumped clean,
but his parachute didn't open.
That leaves just you
in the squadron, Dave.
I mean, of the old 1940 mob.
about being one of the few...
...is the way we keep on
getting fewer.
Yeah.
Poor old Johnny.
Bad luck, it happening now.
-Now, then. What's the difference?
-He went through the Battle of Britain!
And now if the big show
starts tonight...
...he won't be in it.
Look, will you please
shut up about him?
All right, all right.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
You heard something about tonight?
No, no. I haven't heard anything.
-What are you talking about then?
-Well, it's just...
-Go on, go on.
-I have a feeling it's on for tonight.
-That's all.
-A feeling.
Take your feeling somewhere else.
I've got a letter to write.
I've had this feeling since I woke up.
I've had it with me all day long.
I can't shake it off.
It's tonight. I know it is.
All right, it's tonight.
Suits me fine.
Tonight. This afternoon. Now!
I mean...
...as soon as I finish this beer.
-General, can you spare me a minute?
-Come in.
-Thank you.
-Can I get you coffee?
-No, thanks.
-I'll get some for myself.
Is it still raining?
On and off, off and on.
Sometimes I wonder
which side God's on.
What?
I say, sometimes I wonder
which side God's on.
Good question.
What's on your mind, Van?
I'm concerned about the placement
of our drop zones.
Go on.
I know this is a hell of a late date
...but you've given me
a tough nut to crack.
-It gets tougher every time I try.
-I know, Van.
Sainte-Mre-Eglise straddles
the only road the Germans can use...
...to drive into our northern flank.
But it has to be taken.
And it has to be held.
That's why I gave you the job, Van.
-Can I use your board?
-Of course.
Here's the town. Heavily fortified.
Down here is the swamp area
that the Germans have flooded.
And in between, four miles
from the town, is our drop zone.
Now if anything goes wrong
and we undershoot...
...we land in this flooded area
