Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
[last lines, at General Browning's headquarters in Holland. After being extracted from the Arnhem debacle, General Urquhart arrives there and is greeted by dozens of geese in Browning's yard; their honking sounds like scornful laughter]
Welcome, Roy. How do you feel?
Major General Urquhart:
I'm not sure I'll know for a while. But I'm sorry for the way it worked out.
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
You did all you could.
Major General Urquhart:
Yes, but did everybody else?
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
They've got a bed for you upstairs, if you want it.
Major General Urquhart:
I took 10,000 of our finest troops to Arnhem; I've come back with less than 2,000. I don't feel much like sleeping.
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
I've just been on to Monty. He's very proud, and pleased.
Major General Urquhart:
[incredulous]
PLEASED!
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
According to himself, technically, Market Garden was 90% successful.
Major General Urquhart:
But what do YOU think?
Lt. General Frederick "Boy" Browning:
Well, as you know, I always felt we tried to go a bridge too far.
