Kelly's Heroes

Come on, Colonel.

- Get that jeep out of here.

- Right, Kelly.

We've been here for two hours.

No, that's Map Section 3, not 4.

I don't give a damn what Command says

about anything!

Mulligan, I don't think

I'm getting through to you!

You're dropping your damn barrage

on our position!

Sit and see.

You can't hear me?

The reason you can't hear me...

...is because you're firing your mortar

at your end...

...and they're dropping here at our end!

No, the Krauts are not here!

We're here!

Mulligan, your bombs are coming down

on our heads!

I don't know where the Krauts are!

Just lift your goddamned barrage! Over!

I told you to bring me a good-looking kid,

not this fat, sausage-chewing wino!

Well, if you were looking for a young boy,

you should've sent somebody else.

Mulligan, you son of a b*tch!

They're trying to push up the canal!

What do you want me to do

about it, Petuko?

The half-track's been wiped out!

And he's been hit.

Go see what's happening. Grace! Jonesy!

Grab a litter and go with Corporal Job.

On the double!

Mickey Mouse.

- It's Mulligan.

- What the hell does he want?

He says he's sorry.

Sorry. Son of a b*tch!

Big Joe's a little upset right now.

I think maybe you should leave town.

Get out of the neighborhood.

Right.

Does he speak English?

Yeah, he's a Colonel in Intelligence.

As a big shot with the German Intelligence

you should be able to tell us about Nancy.

- Under the Geneva Convention you only...

- Sit down!

I'm not interested in defenses,

I'm interested in hotels. Okay?

Are there any still standing?

There are three.

Two are defended by units of...

Which is the most comfortable?

I don't know.

Think of us as tourists.

I don't want any military information.

I just want to know the best hotel.

I think it is called the Majestic.

Who's the owner?

I can't remember his name.

All right. Check the Michelin Guide.

What about women?

I must warn you. The German Army

is preparing a counter attack.

Sit down!

Look, we're not worried

about the German Army.

We've got enough troubles.

To the right, General Patton.

To the left, the British Army.

To the rear, our own goddamned artillery.

Besides all that, it's raining.

The good thing about the weather is...

...it keeps our Air Corps

from blowing us to hell...

...because it's too lousy to fly. Verstehen?

- Ich verstehe.

- Okay.

What about the broads in Nancy?

Broads?

The women!

Yes, there is a house.

I cannot give you the directions.

I've never been there.

Here it is. "Nancy.

"Principle attractions:

"The church of the Cordeliers tombs.

Woodwork and statues.

"City Hall, 18th century,

with stairway and square reception room.

"Place Stanislas' impressive gates.

"Porterie, Museum of Lorrain.

Charge to see..."

Will you cut the culture crap

and get to the hotels?

Majestic Hotel, three stars,

a knife and a fork.

Beautiful.

We'll keep this guy until we get to Nancy.

We can use him in town.

What do you want, Barbara?

The Captain wants to see you.

I'll be right with you.

- What should I do?

- Stay on the radio.

I think we ought to send him back

to interrogation.

Nobody's copping out on this.

Do you understand?

He serves a more strategic purpose

by staying with us.

If he needs interrogating,

then you do it right here.

Open the door.

- What do you want?

- Do me a favor, will you?

- What?

- Don't call me Barbara.

- That's your name, isn't it?

- But, my name's Babra.

- Come on, will you?

- But, I only wanted to...

What are these, Colonel?

Just my orders and letters of transport.

Fisher?

What are you transporting?

Files.

What kind of files?

Clerical.

Mind telling me what you were doing

in this area?

I needed petrol for my trucks.

The bombing...

Trucks won't move without petrol.

What do you want?

Interpret these for me, will you?

What are these?

Lead bars.

Lead?

Yes, the bag was supposed

to have been dropped in the water...

...in case of capture.

Unfortunately, you surprised me.

All these papers are about some kind

of convoy from France to Germany.

Code name is Tannenbaum.

Travel reports are a shipment of...

That's enough.

Thanks!

Colonel...

Come here, Colonel.

Oh, Little Joe,

give me that brandy, will you?

- What for?

- Just give me the brandy!

Kelly, what do you want to give away

the good brandy to the Kraut for?

This way, Colonel.

Over here.

Sit down on this bench.

I want you to have a drink.

- Under the Geneva Convention...

- This isn't Geneva, Colonel.

I just want to have a nice sociable talk

with you, that's all.

Go ahead.

Drink!

But I will not divulge

any further information.

Drink!

You idiot! Hold it!

Come on, cover me.

- Mitchell?

- Yeah?

Big Joe.

All right, you stay here.

- Where is he?

- Inside.

Captain?

Yeah, who is it?

It's me, Big Joe. Where are you?

I'm in here.

- What are you doing there, sir?

- I'm checking out the motor.

The motor? What for?

We're pulling out. I want to see if

this boat's worth taking back to the base.

What about Nancy?

Third Army's taking over.

We go into reserve.

When they take Nancy,

we go back in the line.

I don't think you have the welfare

of your men at heart.

This is a big town,

with a lot of passionate broads...

...great restaurants, feather beds

in rooms with hot water...

Look, Captain, we've been rained on,

pushed on, bombed on...

...mortared on by Mulligan all the way

from the Normandy Beachhead.

I'm aware of that problem, Sergeant.

You've been aware of that problem ever

since we got out of the water at Omaha!

Look, why is it that every time

we get to a town like Nancy...

...these guys with the clean uniforms

and the ties...

...get to ride in the trucks into town

and make their pitch?

The General says we pull out,

so we pull out.

Look, Captain! You can't let them do this!

I must get my men near some broads

before they start freaking-out.

I'm aware that,

that situation might be developing.

Think I could get this in the hold of a B-17?

We're point section

to the whole damn Army!

Nancy's our town, Captain!

Babra says there's a company

of Germans pushing up.

I'll be with you in a minute! Captain!

We got it all figured out.

We even got a guide!

- All we have to do is get in there!

- These German divisions say you can't.

So we need a little help!

All I need is to get this yacht out of here.

Get back to the barn.

I'll get the engineers and do it myself.

You're supposed to be

in charge of this outfit!

You're doing such a good job.

Why should I get in your way?

Hey, Cowboy!

There are three tanks coming up the road.

I suggest you get activated.
