What about Bolt?

What about the delay?

What am I to do, send him a wire?

''Hello, Max, the weather's fine.

Having a little party.

-I'll handle General Bolt.

-How?

-Minow!

-Yo!

Look, as soon as you've

established communications,

-''Have encountered minor resistance.''

-I like it!

You like it? You like it?

-You like it?

-Oh, Captain.

just who the hell can you trust?

Then lump it, Rizzo. Lump it!

This is war! It's not a picnic!

Could even be a trap! That's it! That's it!

One gigantic trap!

Strategy-wise, they figure to weaken us

with the wine and the women.

Remember the Trojan horse?

Remember the Trojan horse?

Do you realize how long...

Listen, Rizzo, your job is

to guard those Italians.

Guard those Italians,

and shadow Oppo's men.

-No fraternizing, no boozing.

-But, Captain...

Listen, I'm gonna say it once more,

and this is it!

-This is war. They are the enemy!

-You're wrong! There's wine!

Just remember that!

Lieutenant Christian! Over here!

-Lieutenant Christian? All secure?

-Sir?

I'm going to move around the square now.

See you anon, Lieutenant.

Anon, Captain.

Who did that? Who did that?

''I am going to move around

the square now!''

Why don't you get him off our backs?

There's a party going on!

-I like parties more than I like parades.

-So do I.

Look, we'll see.

I'll see what I can do, right?

-What the hell!

-Why not?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

-Vino?

-No, thanks.

-Yeah, why not?

-All right, damn it! Why not?

Beautiful! Beautiful!

What the hell are you doing?

-Well, Captain, we were just...

-I know what you were just!

Fraternizing with the enemy

and drinking while on duty!

The penalty for either offense can

only be one thing, and that is...

What the hell happened to my hat?

Who took my...

Give me that!Are you...

-Rizzo! Rizzo!

Have you taken leave of your senses, man?

-Sir?

-What about the Trojan horse?

Did you forget that?

Did you forget the Trojan horse?

Well, listen to me, Rizzo.

For the last time, this is war!

Not a... Oh, no...

Oh, Lionel. Comrade in arms!

How are you?

-What do you want?

-To salute you.

-You're a disgrace to the uniform!

-What? You insult a man who salutes you?

A descendant of Pax Romana,

the victorious Roman legions?

And you strike me as rather sad.

Listen, why are you so serious?

Come on, why don't you have a drink?

Because while your responsibilities

have terminated,

Back to your posts!

Back to your posts!

Back to your posts!

Soldiers fraternizing with

the enemy in time of war!

Do you know what that means?

Back to your post!

Back to your post!

Did you hear what I said?

Back to your post!

Listen, fella.
