Great Escape, The

Bartlett: One has to ask some very strange favors in the job I have.

Sedgwick: Danny, you speak Russian?
Danny: A little, but only one sentence.
Sedgwick: Well, let me have it, mate!
Danny: Ia vas liubliu.
Sedgwick: Ia vas liubliu. Ia vas liubliu. What's it mean?
Danny: I love you.
Sedgwick: I love you! What bloody good is that?
Danny: I don't know, I wasn't going to use it, myself.

Colin: Afraid this tea is pathetic. I must have used those wretched leaves about twenty times. It's not that I mind so much. Tea without milk is so uncivilized.

Hilts: I'm going... out.

MacDonald: Oh my God, they found Tom!

Sedgwick: Just having a friendly little argument, mate.

Hilts: I haven't seen Berlin yet, from the ground or from the air; and I plan on doing both so before the war is out.

Von Luger: Are all American officers so ill-mannered?
Hilts: Yeah, about 99 percent.
Von Luger: Then perhaps while you're with us you'll get a chance to learn something. Ten days isolation, Hilts.
Hilts: *Captain* Hilts.
Von Luger: Twenty days.
Hilts: Right. Oh, you'll still be here when I get out?

Hilts: How many you taking out?
Bartlett: Two hundred and fifty.
Hilts: Two *hundred* and *fifty*? You're crazy. You ought to be locked up. Two hundred and fifty guys, just walking down the road like that?

Hilts: Wait a Minute! You aren't seriously suggesting that if I get through the wire and case everything out there, and *don't* get picked up; to turn myself in and get thrown back in the cooler for a couple of months just so you can get the information you need?
Bartlett: Yes.

Colin: Thank you for getting me out.

Von Luger: It looks like you will see Berlin before I do.

Hilts: Hold on to yourself, Bartlett. You're twenty feet short.
Bartlett: What do you mean, twenty feet short?
Hilts: You're twenty feet short of the woods. The hole is right here out in open. The guard is between us and the lights.

Bartlett: What about the goon towers?
Hilts: Well, that's a chance you're gonna have to take. But they're going to be watching the compound. Not the woods.

Ramsey: Kommodant Von Luger, it is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape.

German officer: What where you doing by the wire?
Hilts: Well, like I told Max here, I was trying to get my God..
[Von Luger enters]
Von Luger: What were you doing by the wire?
Hilts: Well, like I was telling Max, I was...
[He pauses]
Hilts: I was trying to cut my way through your wire, because I want to get out.

Ramsey: Roger's idea was to get back at the Germans the hardest way he could, mess up the works. From what we've heard here, I think he did exactly that.
Hendley: Do you think it was worth the price, sir?
Ramsey: Well it all depends on your point of view, Hendley.
