I agree with you, but I have orders|to reach the continent as soon as possible.
We're about to start an invasion.|Who ever issued such idiotic orders?
The handwriting's not so good, but I|think you'll recognize the signature.
I'II...
All right, Col. Marcus.
Some day next week when|the beachhead is secured...
...I shall inform Maj. Foley|at staff headquarters...
...that you are to be given VIP treatment...
- What I had in mind...|... boat trip to France...
...tour of the boys on the|fighting front and all of that.
Thank you, sir.
And, Marcus...
I remember you|from the Tennessee maneuvers.
Don't try to capture the opposing|general. This one's name is Rommel.
I don't think he'll make|the same mistake I did...
...and he isn't using blanks.
All right, men. Here we go.
Stand up.
Hook up.
Stand in the door.
Okay, let's go.
What's wrong, soldier?|Haven't you ever jumped?
No!
We're the first Allied|soldiers they've seen.
Pass the word:
Keep smiling and waving, or|they'll think the Nazis are back.
Welcome to our country.|What took you so long?
Stop the jeep. Stop it.
Back up.
Back it up. Back up.
Welcome, General.
Thank you, Col. Marcus, for the bouquet.
- What are you doing here?|- You saw my orders.
I certainly did, and I checked on them.
You were due back|at your desk a week ago.
I have four top-priority|messages from the Pentagon...
...to ship you home on the|first available transportation.
- How did you get into France?|- I jumped, sir, badly.
I'll bet.
Who gave you authority|to fly a combat mission?
I merely repeated your instructions, sir,|that I was to be given the VIP treatment.
Col. Marcus,|would you mind explaining to me...
...how you arrived in|this particular area...
...before the whole U. S. Army?
Yes, sir. We missed our drop zone.
We were up in the hills|when the Nazis pulled out.
We saw lots of guys|die in the last week.
I thought there might be|something to drink in this town.
- Got your bellyful?|- No, sir.
We've been knocking off guys|who were making soap out of my relatives.
I don't ever want to|get behind that desk...
Get down! He's on the clock. Get him.
Dirty Kraut.
Cut that man down.
- Capt. Billings!|- Yes, sir.
Clean out every building on this square.
Yes, sir.
That was close.
Did you find anything to drink around here?
I don't mean water.
I don't mean water.
You're right.
Thanks.
Arrest this officer, take him to the rear,|and put him on the first air transport out.
You must be joking.
If I were running the Pentagon,|I'd have you stood up against a wall.
Instead, they'll probably|pin a medal on you.
Have you ever heard|of the word "discipline"?
