Where Eagles Dare

[Smith and Schaffer are observing the Castle of Eagles fortress, and a nearby military base]

Lt. Morris Schaffer: If I'm not mistaken, that's an army barracks over there.

Major John Smith: No mistake, Lieutenant. This the headquarters of the Wehrmacht Alpenkorps.

Lt. Morris Schaffer: Oh, swell. Do you have any other surprises I should know about?

Major John Smith: I thought you knew, Lieutenant. Why do you think we were chosen for his mission as if not to make social contact?

Lt. Morris Schaffer: You mean we're gonna go down there? Mingle with the German Army?

Major John Smith: Of course. Why do you think we're not dressed as German sailors?

Lt. Morris Schaffer: We'll be recognized as strangers.

Major John Smith: Training troops come and go all the time. What are six new faces among 600 new faces?

Lt. Morris Schaffer: Look, Major, this is primarily a British operation. I'm an American. I don't even know why the hell I'm here.

Major John Smith: Lieutenant, you're here because you're an American.
