1:27:00
If we're wiped out,
they'll be in Tel Aviv by Saturday.
1:27:03
If you don't,
they'll be there for Friday supper.
1:27:06
This is the only mobile force
in the entire Negev.
1:27:09
There's a mountain over there
called "Masada"?
1:27:12
Masada.
1:27:13
It was the last stronghold
of our revolt against the Romans.
1:27:16
I know. And they had an adviser, too.
1:27:17
After they held out for three years
he advised them to give up.
1:27:21
They didn't have a chance, so 960 of them
committed suicide on top of that mountain.
1:27:25
That's right.
1:27:26
- And you guys are proud of it?
- Of course!
1:27:28
What do you want?
1:27:29
An eloquent philosophical speech
and then you all go and cut your throats?
1:27:33
David, attack!
1:27:35
There have been enough Masadas
in this country.
1:27:59
- The whole air force is at Jerusalem.
- All three planes?
1:28:02
Yes, all they can spare is one Piper Cub.
1:28:05
No pilot, no bomb racks, no bombs.
1:28:08
Tell them to drop anything they can find.
Anything that makes a noise.
1:28:12
Vince told me of a run he made over
New Guinea with half-empty pop bottles.
1:28:16
- What?
- Yeah!
1:28:17
They burst on impact.
Make a hell of an explosion.
1:28:20
Now, don't tell me
they don't have seltzer in Tel Aviv?
1:28:33
- They think we're crazy.
- Good.
1:28:35
Right, now we're
going to split into two columns...
1:28:37
...and attack from opposite directions.
1:28:39
I have orders not to allow you
into combat...
1:28:42
...but will you advise one column?
1:28:47
I was afraid you weren't going to ask.
1:28:51
Mickey.
1:28:54
I've never faced tanks before.
Neither have my men.
1:28:58
David, that's all right.
The Egyptians have never faced seltzer.
