of historical interest.

You would not be here

if that's all there was to find.

I'm not sure that's a compliment.

Bubula, from me,

it's a compliment.

The real treasures are up there.

In a monastery on Mount Athena.

- Triptychs.

- Triptychs.

Icons, jewelled, carved in gold.

Byzantine masterpieces.

- And, of course, the plates.

- What plates?

Gold plates.

Two-headed eagles in bas-relief...

...commissioned by

Constantine VI in 790 AD.

Worth how much?

- 10 million.

- Marks?

- Swiss francs.

- But that's two...

- That's two million bucks!

- Yes.

And, when we win this war,

I will liberate those treasures.

You won't win this war.

Well, then I am quite sure

that you... will liberate them.

I enjoy your company... Bubula?

And I love you too, Otto.

Thanks for the airing - and the smoke.

Is that you, Otto?

Who else?

You.

Out.

Slowly.

Sergeant, I'm taking this Greek in

for a curfew violation.

- You drive.

- Sir.

- Get in the car.

- But I was just...

Get in the car!

Die Bremse ist kaputt.

Ich kann den Wagen nicht halten.

Herr Leutnant! Herr Leutnant!

Wir rennen ins Munitionslager.

Ich kann den Wagen nicht halten.

Did you ever make it with a German girl?

- No, not yet.

- Don't.

Charlie?

- Nous?

- You're in the club.

Smashing! I'll need two parking spaces,

a foursome on Sunday mornings...

...I'm a singles man on the course.

- Don't you ever give up?

- What do you want me to do?

Kill.

- So there is going to be a tunnel?

- No, Charlie.

We're gonna break in, not out.

I don't get it.

- We're going to take over the camp.

- Whose cockamamie idea is that?

The Greek Resistance.

If we live to take this camp over,

what will we do with it?

They'll let us know.

Now, here's the camp.

The explosives are there.

- And your job...

- I think I'll resign from this club.

I don't think you wanna do that.

- Wait a minute, Otto.

- It's Charlie.

Sorry.

You win a few, you lose a few,

you seem to be travelling first class.

Oh, come on, I'm just not a tragic figure.

I make do, you above all people

should understand that.

- Dig, dig, dig.

- I'm not attacking you.

It's the way we are,

that's why we're partners.

Well, hear this, partner.

We're joining the army.

- Is our army here?

- No, their army's here...

...we're gonna hit them

and take over the camp.

Oh, yeah? What will they

be doing in the meantime?

They'll be watching you strip.

We'll put on a show for them.

Oh, do I have to take

my clothes off for Germans?

Today Otto, tomorrow the world.

- Does anyone have to get hurt?

- Probably. So what?

Because Otto's been very good to us.

Well, maybe you should tell...

Tell him, give him
