- Narrator: [voiceover] Working in conjunction with El Gamil and his children, the Rat Patrol moved into a warehouse area and in routine fashion secured the arms and explosives needed to carry out the initial escape plans. In his reluctance to accompany Troy in the German vehicles, El Gamil remained behind, only to be caught by a German patrol operating in the area. In the spirit of patriotism, he gave up his life and delayed the Germans long enough for the Rat Patrol to make their departure effective.
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: [Hitch wakes up on Marianne's couch] Hello.
- Marianne Bertaine: Hello.
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: Nicest eye-opener I've had since this war started.
- Marianne Bertaine: Coffee?
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: That's the second nicest thing you've said this morning.
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: [Marianne hands Hitch a straight razor] I haven't seen one of these since the old-time movies.
- Marianne Bertaine: It used to belong to my father. When I was a little girl, I used to take all my father's shaving things out for him. Everyday. And I would watch him shave. It was then that we had our talks. He would tell me things, and he would teach me something I didn't know.
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: Sounds like more fun than school.
- Marianne Bertaine: [wistfully] It was.
- Narrator: [voiceover as the POWs march out of the camp] The meetings are over. The explosives set to blow. The time was now. The end of prison and hardship only minutes away. This was to be the last march these men would have to make from the prison grounds. Their steps had renewed stride, their tired, aching bodies a new strength, for each man knew that every step taken, every second that passed, led them not to the rubble of the docks, not to unloading of enemy supplies, but to freedom, where once more they would fight against the enslavement of one man by another, until one day this enemy for whom they have been forced to labor these many months would be totally destroyed.
- Sgt. Sam Troy: Tully, Hitch, you sure that stuff is set to blow at exactly 6:14?
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: Who was there, Sarge, you or me?
- [last lines]
- Pvt. Mark Hitchcock: Now I lay you down to sleep, my lovely. Please rest in peace. Amen.
