:54:34
...as they enter their beloved Paris.

-Sir, General Bradley on your line.
-Good, good.
:55:29
Brad, listen, I've got a bridgehead
across the Saar.
:55:32
I'm on my way to Germany.
:55:33
Wait a minute, George.
There's a lot of trouble up north.
:55:36
I want you to transfer tank armor
to Middleton's 8th Corps right away.
:55:41
Brad, you can't do that.
:55:43
George, listen.
I don't have time to argue.
:55:46
There's a lot of enemy activity
up around Ardennes.

No, I don't know how serious it is. . .
:55:52
. . .but Ike wants us to meet
with Bedell Smith tomorrow at Verdun.
:55:56
Be there at 1 1 00.
:55:58
Yes, sir.
