- (George) What can you see?
- The Zuider Zee.
Anything else?
Windmills.
Any soldiers?
- No.
- What's the country like? Can you see far?
Yes, miles. Very flat.
What did you expect,
the mountains of Mourne?
No sign of him, then?
The Zuider Zee's no good to us.
How far is it to the North Sea?
- About 38 miles.
- That's not so bad.
- lt's 38 miles too far in this make-up.
- Clothes are the first thing to organise.
- Then there's Bob.
- lt's too bad about Bob.
- l'd rather it'd been John or Frank.
- Oh, would you?
- No offence.
- Anyone got a cigarette?
l haven't. You have lived abroad, Skipper,
and they reckon Frank's a first-class actor.
Sorry, last one.
A football pro is used to travelling with
his team. Bob'll get lost on his own.
Let's face it. He is lost.
We want to watch things like that.
And we'd better keep down too.
Bob might turn up here.
Well, he's three hours overdue.
Got a match?
We've wasted enough time already.
John, you command in the air.
You should command on the ground.
Let's all have a say.
- That won't work.
- l take John's view.
Very well. What do you suggest?
Well...the first thing
we've got to do is to find Bob, obviously.
We can't let him down.
And then... Well, then
we make a plan of campaign.
Decide what to do and what not to do.
- Don't you agree, Tom?
- Hm.
Then er...well, act accordingly.
Very explicit.
Clear as mud.
- Here, come on down.
- l must say, Frank...
Now, listen, l've been lost dozens of times.
Sometimes alone,
sometimes with a regiment,
so l know this much, either we separate
here and now and it's each man for himself,
or we stick together
and somebody must command.
- Who's for separating?
- What are you for yourself?
l'll put another question.
Do we surrender
or do we try and get back home?
- Well, what do you think?
- Frank, you're navigator. Where are we?
l'd say somewhere...somewhere here.
There's Hilversum to the west,
Amsterdam and the Zuider Zee up there.
Now, we want to aim at a spot
somewhere south of Haarlem,
between Zandvoort and Katwijk...
but there's several main roads
and it's swarming with people.
- What's ''polder'' mean?
- Land that's reclaimed. Dykes and dams.
lt's nearly all polder country
south of Haarlem. Tulip fields.
Pity about that, l like a nice tulip.
What are we going to do about our clothes?
We've got to get into civvies somehow.
Well, what's George doing?
- Going swimming in the canal.
- How do you know there is one?
There's always a canal in Holland. The next
best thing to civilian clothes is to have none.
l'll be a swimming Dutchman
