Kelly's Heroes Page #8

There's a German officer walking around

the bank towards the brown building.

What do you think?

We shouldn't have trouble

unless it's with the Tigers.

We can take the machine gunners

on the roof from here...

...if you can keep them busy for a while.

Or maybe we can go down

and get a closer look.

No, stay there. Keep an eye out.

See if you can find out

where those troops are housed.

What do you think, Oddball?

It's a wasted trip. Nobody said anything

about locking horns with Tigers.

Look. You just keep those Tigers busy,

and we'll take care of the rest.

The only way I got to keep the Tigers busy

is to let them shoot holes in me.

We just want you to keep them interested

for a while.

Oh, man! You guys are crazy!

When we was in the bocage country,

we was assaulted by them Tigers!

You know what I mean by "assaulted"?

Well, I mean assaulted!

Why don't you knock it off

with them negative waves?

Why don't you dig

how beautiful it is out here?

Why don't you say something righteous

and hopeful for a change?

Crap!

All right, so it's a beautiful day.

Now, let's get down to cases.

The Tiger is an open-country tank.

We happen to have these and a small town

with narrow streets.

And we do have the element of surprise.

A Tiger has only one weak point.

That's its ass.

You have to hit it point blank

and you have to hit it from behind.

We don't have the element of surprise.

They will hear our Detroit motors

long before we even get inside that town.

What if I show you a way to get

into that town so they don't hear you?

Hey, Oddball?

This is your hour of glory,

and you're chickening out.

To a New Yorker like you,

a hero is some type of weird sandwich.

Not some nut who takes on three Tigers!

Nobody's asking you to be a hero.

No?

Then you sit up in that turret, baby.

No. Because you'll be up there, baby.

And I'll be right outside

showing you which way to go.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Crazy. I mean, so many positive waves,

maybe we can't lose. You're on.

You got anything?

No, not much.

They just keep coming and going

from the brown building behind the bank.

- Cowboy?

- Yeah?

In 20 minutes, start ringing that bell.

Keep ringing it as long as you can. Got it?

Right, Kelly.

Okay, Kelly,

- Hold it!

- Hold it!

Kelly, where in the heck are you, man?

We're just outside of town.

How's it look up there?

Well, it doesn't look too good from here.

They've got all those Tigers fired up

down there.

Looks like they're getting ready

for some heavy duty action.

I think we ought to pull out of here, pal.

No, stay right there. What do you think?

That's just routine.

The Tigers turn their engines over

for 20 minutes every three, four hours.

Just routine, Cowboy. Stay put.

Routine?

Boy, I sure hope you're right, Kelly.

'Cause our asses will be hanging out

up here if you ain't. I'm not kidding.

Nothing's gonna be hanging out.

Now, just relax. Out.

Sure you're right about those Tigers?

Sure, I'm right.

If those engines are turning over,

we can sneak right up the edge of town.

Nobody would hear us.

Right.

Shall I move out?

Good man.

Move out!

Babra!

Come on.

Hold it!

Stay here, until I signal you.

I'm mounting up, partner.

Don't you get lonely up here

without me now, you hear?

All right, let's go!

Switch it on and move it out!

Hold it!

Hold it!

Give me that hand radio.

The bell's making so much noise,

he can't hear us.

I thought that was what you wanted!

So the Germans can't hear us.

Now, move them out. Slow.

Move out! Slow!

Now!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hold it!

It's a mark six. And we got it by the ass.

Fire!

Stay down.

All right, move out!

Let's go!

All right, get out of here.

Move out!

Crapgame?

Over there.

Come on, you idiot.

Will you knock it off

with those cockamamie bells?

Kelly told me to ring them.

I know, but they know we're here already.

So, knock it off.

God Almighty!

You guys smell like you fell

into a dung heap.

It kind of makes you homesick, don't it?

It does kind of, doesn't it, old buddy?

Yeah.

Pull it.

- Let's go!

- All right, move out!

All right, ready to turn right.

Turn!

Now.

Hold it!

Fire!

That's paint!

Load up!

Okay? Fire!

We need explosives to get these open.

This place is built like Fort Knox!

Cowboy, check around and see

if there's a back door.

Can you see anything?

There's a big lump

in the middle of the floor.

There's a Tiger coming down the street!

Cowboy, come here!

- Get a hold of his arm.

- Take it easy, boy.

Easy, easy does it.

Don't tell me to take it easy.

You take it easy.

Hi, man.

What are you doing?

I'm drinking wine and eating cheese,

and catching some rays. You know?

What's happening?

The tank's broken

and they're trying to fix it.

Why aren't you helping them?

I only ride them,

I don't know what makes them work.

Oh, creeps!

Definitely an anti-social type.

That's my other dog imitation.

- Where did he get it?

- Right here in the leg.

Anything else?

What do you mean?

Ain't that enough for you?

How do you feel?

Great. Since when did you give a damn

how I felt?

Okay, wise guy, forget it.

Come here.

What do you want?

How are things going with the bank?

Nothing.

The Sherman's broken down and nobody

can move that Tiger out of the square.

Then make a deal.

What kind of a deal?

A deal deal!

Maybe the guy's a Republican.

Business is business.

Right?

Okay, big mouth.

Come on, Jonesy! Get it going, Dave.

Let's go! Get it going!

Come on, let's go! Get in there! Come on!

Come on, let's go! Roll it in there!

Bellamy, come on! We're almost finished!

What?

It's ready!

Right! Okay, let's go!

Let's move it out here!

Come on, bring them around!

Where are you from, Sergeant?

Jersey City.

Stand up straight

when the General speaks to you.

Don't you feel bad about it.

You're a hell of a soldier,

I just want to shake your hand.

All America's real proud of you today.

All right, come on.

I got a medal here in the jeep for you.

A medal?

$16 million, shot!

It's shot, Kelly.

Maybe we can use the fuel pump

from that Tiger.

No, it won't work on this motor.

Mechanical genius.

Oh, man!

Oddball, I can't make it work without

the parts no matter how positive I think!

This guy in the Tiger, the least we could do

is get him on the radio and talk to him.

Are you crazy?

He must be a full, fanatic freak!

Or he would've split 20 minutes ago.

All this guy is doing,

is guarding the bank like he was told.

Yeah, maybe.

But I wonder if he knows what's in it.

Cigarette?

No smoke.

The fuel system is rotten.

We have gasoline all over the place.
