Private Charles Plumpick,
ornitholography specialist...
:10:05
communications platoon,
headquarters company, reporting, sir.
:10:07
- Splendid, Pumpernickel.
- Plumpick, sir.
:10:09
Nickel, splendid.
Good of you to volunteer.
:10:13
Brave lad.
:10:15
Stand at ease.
:10:18
Out!
:10:23
l suppose you can read a map.
:10:25
Your mission is quite simple.
Get into the town--
:10:28
- You do speak French?
- Oui, sir.
:10:33
Make contact with the local spies.
The town barber heads it.
:10:36
Find the explosives
and disarm the fuse.
:10:39
- lt shouldn't take you long, what?
- NO, sir. Yes, sir.
:10:43
But l wonder, sir,
if you have the right Plumpick, sir.
:10:45
YOu see, l'm an
ornitholography specialist, sir.
:10:47
This calls for a specialist,
Pumpernickel.
:10:50
- Plumpick, sir.
- Nickel.
:10:52
You seem to pick your name out of a hat.
How good is your French?
:10:55
Quite good, sir.
But you see it's the explosives, sir.
:10:58
l wonder if perhaps one
of the chaps from ordinance...
:11:00
may not do the job
just a wee bit better, sir.
:11:02
Send two men in that inferno?
:11:04
See here, man.
That town can go up at any moment.
:11:09
You're asking me to risk the life
of two of my troops?
:11:12
Why, blast it all?
:11:14
The life of every one
of those men out there...
:11:17
is dear to me as my own.
:11:18
The men are aware of that, sir,
and we do appreciate it, sir.
:11:22
That is leadership, lad.
:11:24
Yes, sir.
But about the explosives, sir--
:11:26
That will do, Pumpernickel.
Did you or did you not volunteer?
:11:30
- Well, as a matter of fact, sir--
- Then good. Let's get on with it.
:11:33
We have no time to lose.
The town can go up at any moment.
:11:37
Let's not forget that.
:11:39
l don't think, sir, that l could
forget that if l tried, sir.
:11:41
Well, let's get cracking, lad.
:11:44
By the way, the password for your
contact with the barber fellow is...
:11:50
''The mackerel likes frying.''
:11:54
Say, if you can find it,
what the devil do they mean by...
:11:59
''The knight strikes
at midnight''?
