Sir Harold, I think it was Alcibiades
in the Peloponnesian War. . .
:57:01
. . .41 5 B.C.
:57:03
He said, "lf Syracuse falls, all
Sicily falls, and then ltaly. "
:57:07
He knew that Syracuse was the
jugular of the island.
:57:10
Old Alcibiades always went
for the throat.
:57:13
I propose to take Sicily
in the same way.
:57:15
-How's it going?
-The old man has them in his pocket.

take Palermo.

Monty will drive north on the coast,
I'll come due east. . .
:57:34
. . .take Messina and cut off
the German escape route.

George, you'd have made a great
marshal for Napoleon. . .

:57:55
But I did, sir. I did.
