- Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Hogan? Since when is he running this prison camp?
- Sgt. Hans Georg Schultz: Let me see. It was three years ago, in November I think.
- Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: It is about his defense counsel. Colonel Hauptmann is a very lucky man.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Who's defending him?
- Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Colonel Wilhelm Klink.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Klink?
- Sgt. Hans Georg Schultz: Klink?
- Cpl. Louis LeBeau: Klink?
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: You don't mean our Klink. I mean, the Klink here - you don't mean him.
- Maj. Wolfgang Hochstetter: Ja, Kommandant Klink, a man who could have been great, except he wasn't very good.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: I intend to nail the prosecutor's fat hide to the wall.
- General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Fat? What makes you think he's fat?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Well, that's the way I picture him. What does he look like?
- General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: A lot like me.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Well, then he is fat. - - -Not that you're fat I mean, not nearly as fat as he is.
- General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: As who is?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: The fat prosecutor, whoever that is.
- General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: That is me.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: You are the prosecutor?
- General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: The fat prosecutor.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Oh, oh, Herr General, you're much thinner than I thought you'd be.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: I don't expect to get him off. He's a traitor.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: Well if you feel like that, why did you volunteer to take the case?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: I volunteered to take it because General Burkhalter said I did.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: What's your defense, sir?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Since Colonel Hauptmann has served his country gallantly in the past, I will try for a smaller firing squad.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Say, I understand you're counsel for the defense.
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Yes.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: How did it happen?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: I'm told that I volunteered.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: Where is the map of the submarine pens?
- Colonel Hauptmann: It's hidden. Only I can find it and only I am going to deliver it to London.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: You wouldn't want to tell me where it is just in case you had an accident, like walking in front of the firing squad or something?
- Colonel Hauptmann: Colonel Klink, my brilliant defense counsel is going to make sure that doesn't happen.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: Are you kidding? You'll be lucky if he isn't shot with you.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: When was the last time you were in combat, sir?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Not recently.
- Cpl. Peter Newkirk: What do you mean, recently?
- Col. Wilhelm Klink: Not since the war.
- [first lines]
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: [entering Colonel Hauptmann's cabin] This area is crawling with patrols. Why did you want to meet here?
- Colonel Hauptmann: I can't take any chances!
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Well, I certainly took plenty getting down to this broken-down farmhouse.
- Colonel Hauptmann: I'm sorry, Colonel, but this is the only place I'm safe. The Gestapo is on to me.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: How'd they find out?
- Colonel Hauptmann: The same ways they find out everything. Naturally, I'm finished as a source of information.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Well, I want you to know that you've done a great service to both our countries.
- Colonel Hauptmann: Danke Dir.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: What about the location of the submarine pans?
- Colonel Hauptmann: I have a detailed map of them all.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Detailed map? Great. Well, I can only promise you your sacrifice will not be in vain.
- Colonel Hauptmann: What sacrifice?
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: If someone gives up his life for something he believes in, I'd certainly say that was a sacrifice.
- Colonel Hauptmann: Why you stupid man! Let's understand each other, Colonel. I have no intention of sacrificing my life for anything. And I also have no intention of giving up the map until I am certain my life is quite safe.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Look, you know the Gestapo. No matter where you hide in this country, your life's gonna be in danger.
- Colonel Hauptmann: I'm well aware of that. But I know a trip to London would add years to it. That field outside is big enough to land a plane.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: We're not running an airline between here and England.
- Colonel Hauptmann: Where I go, the map goes!
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Alright, I'll see what we can do.
- Colonel Hauptmann: And how fast it can be done. My nerves are at the breaking point!
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: You're the most decorated flyer on the Luftwaffe. You've faced death countless times. Now you act like you're scared stiff.
- Colonel Hauptmann: I was scared stiff then, too. Find out about the plane, Hogan!
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: It may take a few days. You think you can hold on that long?
- Colonel Hauptmann: I'll hold on, but...
- [hears approaching footsteps outside the cabin]
- Colonel Hauptmann: What was that?
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: What?
- Colonel Hauptmann: I heard a noise outside.
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: I didn't hear anything. You're the most nervous war hero I've ever known.
- Colonel Hauptmann: You better get back to the camp. Tell London to hurry!
- [Colonel Hogan is about to walk out the door]
- Colonel Hauptmann: Use the window!
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: Alright, they'll get you out if they can.
- [walks towards the window and dumps his stuff out]
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: You'll hear from me in a couple of days.
- [jumps out the window and leaves]
- Col. Robert E. Hogan: [after Colonel Hogan leaves, Hauptmann closes the window and checks the map, which is on the pull-down blind. Gestapo men then burst in and arrest Hauptmann]
