'Pimpernel' Smith Page #4

Did I dream all that?

- I'm afraid not.

We're all set to go.

- My home is in Oy.

- Oy?

- Oy.

But when I am on duty, I

am billeted at the chalet.

- Do you think he'd bite me?

- No, not unless I tell him to.

- Come here, gentlemen, I want you to meet

a friend of mine from Oy.

- Hello, how are you?

- I say, professor, we're not gonna walk

right on out of Germany today, are we?

- My feet are giving out.

- Do you think they'll manage to carry you

another 20 hours, Mr. Gregson?

- What's all this barbed wire for?

- We are at the German-Swiss

frontier, gentlemen.

And the barbed wire is to

prevent the oppressed Swiss

from escaping into free Germany.

- Say, do you see what I see?

- What do you mean, the cow?

- Yeah, the cow.

- Yeah, believe it or not,

boys, that's a Bonhoffer cow.

- They produce less milk

than our Jersey cows.

- Really, you must tell me more

of your experiences some other time.

- Mr. Romley.

- Here.

- Come on, Gretchen, let's hear a few.

- Yes, come on.

You'll take the high road

And I'll take the low road

And I'll be in Scotland afore ye

For me and my true love

will never meet again

On the bonnie, bonnie

banks of Loch Lomond

- Come on, boys, Annie Lloyd.

- Everything all right, Herr Professor?

- Everything's splendid.

And the coffee's excellent.

- I'm glad it's to your taste, sir.

- Still at it, prof?

- Yes, we shall only be doing

about 15 miles tomorrow.

- It'll seem like standing still.

- Well, have you got our marching orders?

- Yeah, just another 15 miles.

- Does he never relax?

- He's like a man hunted by a conscience.

Forever forging ahead.

There must be reason for it.

- There is.

Sex starvation.

- Go on.

- No kidding.

- Maybe you're right.

- Well can't we do something about it?

- Say, that's quite an idea.

Tootle on that flootle,

Jock, I'm going into action.

My tooting.

La da dee, da dum dee dum

La da dee, da dum da dum

Dee

- Now gentlemen,

since you're all in such

magnificent spirits,

I've decided to alter

slightly tomorrow's itinerary.

- Ah.

- It will now be 20 miles.

- 20 miles, but that's--

- We'll make it 19 miles.

Yes.

Now, as you all know,

we're now at Unter Sitzenberg.

Altitude 5,000 feet.

In the morning, we shall climb to 8,000

feet.

And uh...

in the afternoon...

Yes.

On second thought,

we'll postpone discussion about

the afternoon's operations

until later.

And so, gentlemen, to bed.

The call tomorrow morning is 5:30am.

- Hello.

- Hello, Hans.

Have some coffee?

- No, no, I want to go to bed.

- Now take it easy Admiral,

I never shave in the evening.

- It's getting late, Herr Professor.

- Thank you for reminding me, my friend.
