Quotes 

• Colonel Muller : Were you with Corporal Tully last night?

  Jake Geismer : I was in a club up till dawn drinking with the bartender if your Girl Friday had bothered to check.

• Colonel Muller : We're not gonna start World War III over some dumb GI who got his dick stuck in a pitch pot.

• Colonel Muller : The Russians want this to go away. An American serviceman turns up dead in Potsdam on the eve of the peace conference? It's pretty damn embarrassing. Good news for you, frankly. We want it to go away too.

• Colonel Muller : I wouldn't put too much stock in that SS stuff. When I was at West Point, we'd put a uniform on a mule.

• Colonel Muller : Champagne from the cellar of Admiral Donitz. Care for some?

  Jake Geismer : I wouldn't want it to go to waste.

  Colonel Muller : Size of the bubbles. Smaller the better, that's the key to champagne. This time last year I was in Anzio, up to my balls in mud.

  Jake Geismer : Six months ago I was freezing my ass off in the Ardennes. The good old days. When you could tell who the bad guy was by who was shooting at you.

• Colonel Muller : What do you think this peace conference is really about, who gets Poland? The future. That's why everyone's come to Potsdam. What do the next hundred years look like? All those V-2 rockets that hit London during the war. Well, you were there. lf it lasted another year, that would have been New York, Chicago.
