- Merle: A message from the airforce, sir. In 10 minutes, they will be overhead to drop in reinforcements!
- Lt. Col. Pierre Raspeguy: We haven't got enough firepower left to cover them, they'll be slaughtered before they hit the ground, get back on the radio and warn them off.
- Merle: Right sir!
- [command bunker with radio blown up]
- Merle: [picking up broken pieces of radio] Poor devils, they'll be here in a few minutes!
