Victory Page #3

We don't play the bloody American game.

Get off.

Hey, what kind of game is this?

For old ladies and fairies?

I quit.

Okay.

One, two, three...

...four, five, six, seven...

...eight, nine, turn.

One, two...

...three, four, five--

Hatch, the committee

has considered your plan.

You may see the tailor and the forger.

And the locksmith.

I've got to see the locksmith.

Yes, but see the tailor first.

That takes time.

...seven, eight, nine, turn.

Thanks.

Hey, Colby.

Colby, I've been looking for you.

You know that football team of yours?

Know what you can do with that team?

Know where you can put it?

'Cause I don't want to be on that team.

As a matter of fact, you couldn't pay me

to be on that football team, Colby.

You got it, Colby?

I don't need you

or your football team anymore.

You got it?

I don't need this aggravation, Colby.

Captain Colby. How are you?

Sit down, please.

Why don't you tell me

what this is all about?

Our football match has been taken

a little out of our hands.

It has been decided...

...that a German national team will play...

...a combined team from the prisoners

of war of the occupied territories...

...August 15th,

at Colombes Stadium in Paris.

Paris?

That's crazy.

Come in, Muller.

This is Hauptmann Rainer Muller.

Coach for our national team.

Captain John Colby.

We've met.

A long time ago.

Yeah. In London.

You were center-half.

Hauptmann Muller will assist me

and manage our team.

Make sure you have everything you need.

Paris.

What if I refuse?

I think you will recognize

some of those names.

No, thank you.

Yeah.

There are some good players on here.

British, French.

Dutch.

Even a Norwegian.

What about the Poles and the Czechs?

I mean, off the top of my head

I could think of...

...half a dozen East European players

who would have to be on that squad.

Isn't that so, Muller?

I'm sorry. I cannot let you have

any Eastern Europeans.

Why not?

It's impossible.

Officially, they do not exist.

Germany does not recognize them

as prisoners of war.

They're in labor camps.

Well, maybe not officially,

but they do exist as players...

...don't they?

I don't know whether these

East European players are alive or dead...

...but you can find that out.

As an officer and a gentleman...

...you are obliged to give me

a marginal chance of winning.

Make your list, Captain.

I'll see what I can do.

Collaboration pays.

I don't consider it collaboration.

And you are to be exhibited in Paris

like performing fleas?

I don't think London is going

to take very kindly to this, you know.

You've informed London?

There's no need.

The German propaganda machine

will take care of that.
