American GI Cook:
Up bright and early, General? Uh, breakfast? Patton:
Am I to understand that my officers have already finished eating? American GI Cook:
Uh, well, we're open from six to eight. Most of the men are just coming in now. [Indicates two soldiers who enter the mess hall] Patton:
Please inform these men that the mess hall is closed. American GI Cook:
But sir, it's only a quarter 'til eight. Patton:
From now on, you will open at six, and no man will be admitted after six-fifteen. Where are your Leggings? American GI Cook:
Leggings? Oh hell, General sir, I'm a cook. Patton:
You're a soldier. Twenty dollar fine. [two more soldiers enter the mess hall. Patton looks them over] Patton:
Gentlemen, from this moment, any soldier without leggings, without a helmet, without a tie, any man with unshined shoes or a soiled uniform... is going to be skinned
