You think I carry money?

I ask you a favor

and you don't want to help me?

All I asked you to do is carry

the machine gun. I'll give you $100.

- Do you have it?

- I don't have it on me!

Shut up!

You guys keep quiet.

It's still up.

No, it ain't.

You see what sending out

them negative waves did, Moriarty?

That ain't my fault, Oddball.

I've had nothing but good thoughts

about that bridge ever since we left!

What happens now?

It looks like we're gonna find ourselves

another bridge.

Where are we gonna come up

with another bridge?

There you go, more negative waves!

Have a little faith, baby.

Have a little faith.

Now go on, get down into your hole.

Move out!

42nd Engineers. Bridging Unit.

Corporal Roamer speaking.

Hey, Sarge?

It's Oddball!

Don't try to be funny, Oddball!

What do you want?

I'm calling you from a cafe

about 10 miles south of Mesurier.

I wondered if you could do me a favor?

Mesurier?

I got a map here someplace that says

we haven't even captured that place yet!

Yeah, so I heard.

Everybody seems very friendly.

Look, baby, I'm kind of hung up.

I need about 60 feet of bridge.

How am I supposed to get 60 feet of bridge

10 miles behind the German lines?

I'm about to put you onto something good

and you are giving me your problems.

This sector's so screwed up, nobody knows

where the German lines or our lines are.

I got through with no problem.

I've got a bank back here with $16 million

waiting to be picked up. Are you in?

They haven't got you back

in the nut ward again, have they?

Bellamy! For crying out loud!

That is the lousiest, stinking,

most awful, stupid joke!

You're always pulling

that stinking, awful, stupid joke!

You don't want in this thing, don't get in!

I cut you out of everything!

I don't need you. 60 feet of bridge,

I can pick up almost anywhere! Shmuck!

All right, all right!

Look, with three tanks, it's easy.

With a 60-foot bridge it's something else!

I need support units, Oddball.

I need at least 100 guys!

Where do I find 100 men, just like that?

Eighteen miles to...

Jerks!

Shut up!

We've walked into a minefield.

All right, who bought it?

It's Grace!

There's a road right up here

at the edge of the field.

Mark that spot and head for the road.

Everybody!

Take out your bayonets...

...and move towards Kelly!

Corporal!

Move the men down slowly!

Mitchell?

You pick up Grace's B.A.R.

And head this way!

Jonesy, for Christ's sake stand still!

Corporal?

Go see if Grace is still alive.

Jonesy, will you get the hell down?

Looks all right up here.

All right, you guys, keep it moving!

Stay careful.

Hey, I found one!

What kind is it?

The kind that blows up!

How the hell do I know what kind it is?

Mark the spot and keep moving, Hustler.

I'll mark it!

Gutkowski, get down there on that bend

and keep an eye out.

Okay, bring the B.A.R.

Penn, get that.30 caliber set up

the other side of the wall.

I could've been in the States

playing ping-pong, volleyball...

...plenty of broads.

Who the hell needs all this?

I'm gonna get my knife

and get the hell out of here.

Lousy equipment.

Now I got to lift up this cannon.

Carry it all the way

to the front line someplace.

The damn thing is heavier

than Kelsey's burgers.

Sure, I'll get a rupture yet

with this damn thing.

Move it now!

On the double, across the road.

Stay on Kelly's path all the way!

On the double!

Come on, Hustler. Move it.

It's all safe for you, now.

I hope you have to take the gas pipe!

You creep!

- All the way, you jerk!

- Go to hell!

Let's go, Cowboy! Move it!

Come on, Willard. Let's mount up, boy.

Anything we can do for you, Corporal?

No, thanks. We're all right.

- Come on, Willard. Hit it, boy.

- I'm ready.

How did we get talked into this mess?

It took 10 seconds to talk you into this.

It took 10 seconds to talk you into this.

But we were supposed to ride, not walk.

Nobody said anything about mines...

...or shlepping this machine gun

all over the country!

Quit your bitching and just remember

what's at the end of the line.

Kelly!

There's a patrol coming in.

All right! Spread them out

across the road!

Move it! Your crabs will leave you now!

Get that gun set up

on the other side of the wall.

Move!

Move it, Petuko, move it!

- Don't forget about the broads!

- You horny bastard!

Get the hell out of there!

You'll never make it!

We'll cover you from the road.

- Don't move unless they spot you.

- Right! Go on.

Set up the B.A.R. There.

All right, stay down and load up.

Stay down, load up!

Stay down.

Stay down, hold your fire.

Grenades.

- Let's get out of here. Let's go back.

- Take it easy.

It's too late, now.

We're better off here, anyway.

Get your head down.

Nice and easy.

Stay down.

All right.

Get ready.

Hold it.

Fire!

Let's go!

Jam!

Clear it!

Let's move it out.

All right, you heard me!

I said, move it out!

Maybe they're only wounded.

They're dead, so forget it. Let's move.

There's a whole column

of Shermans coming over the hill!

Go get your packs!

Pick up your equipment!

Go on down and load up!

Ready!

Fire!

I thought you said three Shermans.

Those nuts have brought half the Army

with them!

Okay, keep a move on.

Let's keep on coming.

Come on. Okay, move.

Are you ready for this?

Split how many ways, stupid?

Come on, Willard!

What is this? What is this, a ball game?

Who are these guys?

They're my friends, Crapgame.

Friends? Where'd you find them?

Here and there.

There's a bunch of refugees over there!

It's a band.

A band? What do we need a band for?

Have a little faith, Crapgame.

They're beautiful people.

Kid, pull yourself together.

We ain't in the middle of Central Park!

Oddball!

How do you figure on moving through

enemy terrain with a column a mile long?

Easy. We can fight. We got an army.

Those freaks? That ain't an army,

it's a circus!

Take it easy, Big Joe.

Some of these people

have got sensitive feelings.

Who's the guy in charge?

I am.

What's the deal with the gold?

Any man who gets to the town

and hits the bank, gets an equal share.

But don't try to cross us.

There's gonna be trouble.

Who's going to make it, boy?

I am!

Get out and start it!

Take it easy, big mouth.

You get out of here.

Everybody else up on the tanks.

Let's move out!

Don't double-cross us!

- Any double-crossing will be your fat lip!

- Get moving.

Shut up!

Everybody up on that tank. Let's go!

We're not going

with those cowboys, are we?

We've got $16 million up for grabs

and we won't let those clods beat us to it.

Now, let's get moving.
