:26:01
George, this is the toughest coalition
ever attempted in history.
:26:05
Ike's trying to hold it together
and lick the Germans at the same time.
:26:09
-It's a hell of a job.
-I understand.
:26:11
You have an important assignment
connected to the Normandy invasion.
:26:15
Good. I've studied the Overlord Plan
and there's a number of flaws in it.
:26:20
You can't depend on Monty taking
Cannes by D-day. He'll never make it.
:26:24
I've drawn up an alternate plan
to land at Calais. . .
:26:28
-. . .following an air bombardment--
-Will you just listen for a change?
:26:32
Ike stood by you when everyone,
I mean everyone. . .
:26:35
. . .wanted Patton
with a rope around his neck.
:26:43
We're gonna let it leak out
that you are here undercover.
:26:47
That you're preparing to invade
at the Pas de Calais.
:26:50
We hope to pin down
the German 1 5th Army there. . .
:26:52
. . .so that they can't be used
against us at Normandy.
:26:56
Is that all I'm good for?
:26:57
We're going to build an army
of 1 2 divisions around you.
:27:02
All fictitious, of course.
:27:04
Dummy troop concentrations,
dummy landing craft. . .
:27:07
. . .simulated radio traffic.
:27:09
The Germans are convinced that you
will lead the main invasion effort.
:27:14
Their agents will spot you soon. . .
:27:16
. . .then we can move you to Knutsford.
:27:19
-What do I do there?
-Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
:27:23
Frankly, George, you're on probation.
:27:26
Take my advice and behave yourself.
:27:29
Remember. . .
:27:30
. . .your worst enemy
is your own big mouth.
