A Bridge Too Far1977

[an SS officer is approaching under a white flag]

Major Harry Carlyle:
Rather interesting development, sir.

[to the German]

Major Harry Carlyle:
That's far enough! We can hear you from there!

SS Panzer Officer:
My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!

Major Harry Carlyle:
Shall I answer him, sir?

Lt. Col. John Frost:
Tell him to go to hell.

Major Harry Carlyle:
We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!

SS Panzer Officer:
[confused] What?

Major Harry Carlyle:
We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?

[German officer walks off]

Lt. Col. John Frost:
Well, that's that.

[the officer returns to General Bittrich, and they converse in German]

SS Panzer Officer:
They rejected our surrender offer. What are your orders, Herr General?

Lt. General Bittrich:
Flatten Arnhem.
