L'express du colonel von Ryan (1965)

Quotes

L'express du colonel von Ryan

Edit
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: [Final lines voiceover] I once told you, Ryan, if only one gets out, it's a victory.
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: It would take you too long to strangle a man, Colonel. The average Nazi would get impatient while you were doing it.
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: Major, you will order the men to strip.
  • [pause]
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: Major, I said "strip." Get it? All clothes, off. Naked.
  • [Major turns around]
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: [Yelling] Parade...
  • [his voice drops]
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: strip.
  • Costanzo: [to Gabriella, obviously the mistress of the Nazi Von Klemment] Um... uh... What on Earth are you doing here, my child?
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: [amazed at his naiivety] Oh, Padre, you are priceless!
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: You'll get your Iron Cross now, "Von" Ryan!
  • Sergeant Bostick: I once told you, Ryan, if only one gets out, it's a victory.
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: If you crab this, the Germans won't have to kill you; I'll do it myself.
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: Captain Costanzo, I said strip off all your clothes.
  • Costanzo: Sorry, sir, but I take being a member of the cloth literally.
  • [the men laugh]
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: I bow to your convictions, Captain.
  • Sergeant Bostick: [referring to Fincham and the Britsh] It took 200 years to turn out these men, Sergeant. It took me 90 days.
  • Sergeant Bostick: They're nuts, sir.
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: Maybe so, but it's their ball game.
  • Private Ames: And we're still shut out!
  • Corporal Giannini: We did that good with just a sergeant!
  • Private Ames: Now we got us a bird-colonel.
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: A bird colonel outranks a bird brain... clear?
  • Corporal Giannini: [contemtuously after Ryan walks away] Bird is right... chicken!
  • Sergeant Bostick: OK, OK, now we know we're on our own.
  • Capt. Oriani: He says you are no gentleman, Colonel.
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: Only by an act of Congress.
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: [after Ryan spares Battaglia] You fool! You soft-headed sentimental fool!
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: That's privilege of rank.
  • Maj. Eric Fincham: Damn your rank!
  • Colonel Joseph L. Ryan: [to Orde, who is guarding Von Klemment] Lieutenant, if he wiggles, put a hole in him.
  • Italian Train Engineer: [having been asked to drive the train and help the POWs escape] But the Allies are the enemy!
  • Capt. Oriani: And the Germans are our friends?
  • Costanzo: [Masquerading as a German officer] I am Major von Klement. My orders, please.
  • German Captain: [Not looking up] May I see your identification papers, Major?
  • Costanzo: [He hasn't got any papers] Button your tunic! You call yourself a German officer? Your name, rank, and serial number! If you can't hold this little post, I'll have you transferred to the Russian front! My orders! I'm in a hurry!
  • Costanzo: [after he gets his orders, he stops to yell at another German soldier on his way out. No English subtitle was provided.]
  • German Captain: Nazis. My God.
