:13:01
-AItogether?
-Yeah, aItogether.
:13:04
A hundred and eighty-eight, eighty-nine.
:13:07
You famiIiar with the French Riviera?
:13:09
OnIy what I've read
in the National Geographic.
:13:13
I'm toId big hoteIs are fixed
so that you turn on a water faucet...
:13:18
...and you get either cognac or champagne.
:13:20
That probabIy isn't true,
but suppose you and your men go there...
:13:23
...and make a 24-hour investigation.
:13:26
Yes, sir.
:13:31
An hour later we were halfway to Nice.
That's the kind of a war it was.
:13:35
Some people call it
the Champagne Campaign.
:13:45
Nobody who was there will ever forget
the way the Riviera was that season.
:13:49
The Army had made it a rest area.
:13:52
There'd never been one like it before
and never would be again.
:13:57
They shipped in oranges from North Africa,
eggs from Sweden, steaks from Argentina.
:14:02
The champagne and cognac
were already there.
:14:06
So were some of the girls.
:14:08
But others came by bus, by foot
and by plane.
:14:12
There were all kinds of girls.
:14:19
The hotels were luxurious, all right,
but it wasn't quite like the Colonel said.
:14:23
You had to go all the way to the terrace
to get the cognac and the champagne.
:14:31
You can forget how beautiful
a beautiful woman can be...
:14:36
...but it doesn't take long
to refresh your memory.
:14:44
I saw what they meant
by the French Riviera.
