The Longest Day Page #5

Do you read me?

Loud and clear, sir.

All right. One more thing.

Your assignment tonight is strategic.

You can't give the enemy a break.

Send them to hell.

That is all.

I repeat:

"John has a long mustache."

No, not yet...

Oh, my Lord!

"John has a long mustache."

Make any sense to you, mac?

As I said last night, they're code

messages to the Resistance chaps.

Obviously, one message means

something to one group...

...and another means something

to another group.

"There is a fire at the travel agency."

I repeat:

I repeat:

"Wounds my heart with a

monotonous languor. "

We'll be back.

"Wounds my heart with a

monotonous languor. "

I repeat:

"Wounds my heart with a

monotonous languor. "

"There is a fire at the travel agency."

The best hand I've had all night.

Let me see here...

Pardon me.

Wait. Give that to me.

What's come?

The second verse.

"Wounds my heart with a

monotonous languor."

Thank you.

It's almost impossible to believe.

Every dot represents a ship.

You got battlewagons, cruisers,

destroyers, minesweepers.

You got assault craft of every size

and every type.

The biggest armada

the world's ever known.

Here.

You remember it.

Remember every bit of it.

We're on the eve of a day...

...that people will talk about

long after we're dead and gone.

You wanna know something?

It gives me goose pimples

just to be part of it.

You could call it one of them...

...crazy, quickie wartime marriages,

you know?

Met at a dance at the USO

and all that...

...but, I mean, I took it serious.

And so did she.

We didn't do it just for kicks.

-When did you get the letter?

-Week ago.

Two weeks.

Maybe I was wrong, what I wrote her.

I mean, she's a high-class model

and all, and I...

I'm not the kind of guy

to get married that easy.

I mean, it wasn't no joke to me.

But oh, man, we really had some

wonderful times together.

And you think she's got a boyfriend?

Well, she never actually said so...

I mean...

You think I was right?

I mean, was I fair?

She can't get one

without your permission, right?

You gotta give your okay.

I know it's the law.

They passed it for all the Dear Johns.

Well, I guess I better be

getting back to the outfit.

Good luck.

You too.

Who was that guy?

The one you was talking to so long?

I don't know, Sparrow.

I never saw him before in my life.

Thank you.

What's that?

Dummkopf, that's the "V for

victory" sign. Three dots and a dash.

Ain't you never heard

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony?

Release point coming up, Major Howard.

Right, prepare for landing.

Cutting loose now.

Roger and out.

Major Howard, I cannot overestimate

the importance of your task.

The Orne River Bridge must be captured
