No one's ever found out what happened to the people aboard the original Marie Celeste! So-- that's what you meant by "history repeating itself", General! The same thing has happened to Dave and his crew of the tank Marie Celeste! 
If any of you guys have any ideas how one tank crew can get close enough to take another tank crew prisoner-- without having their dogtags blasted off-- let me know!
We're in a tank graveyard! We've got to get out of here and get back to the war! Wake up, guys! Arch! Slim! Rick! Can't you hear me? Wake up!!
How can I thank a ghost-- I mean--if we were both in the same war-- at the same time, I could show my gratitude by helping you out of a tough spot, General!
Okay! So we'll fight a desert war with an automatic and a single canteen! We'll stick-- until we get our tank back! We'll have to ration the water so it'll last! You can have one teaspoon apiece! Don't swallow it! Roll it around in your mouth! That way it'll last longer!
We've cut our pieces of cake, Rock! Yours is to hold-- here! Mine is to play "mouse" to the enemy "cats" in Morteville
You heard what I said! A ghost is the guardian of my M-3 Stuart tank! What ghost? Who else but the ghost of General J.E.B. Stuart-- the world-famous Confederate cavalry genius-- would haunt the tank bearing his name-- and commanded by a T.C. bearing his name, too-- Lt. Jeb Stuart! That's me! Yeah! That's what I said! I'm in command of the only haunted tank in the world!
A Nazi secret weapon puts our tank on ice-- so a patrol can capture it intact! Next step-- is to defrost it-- and toss it back at us with a Nazi crew! What damage it could do before we found out it's a phoney! And by then-- we'd wind up either afraid to fire-- or blasting away at ourselves!
You know what's really funny? I was shown how to make a capture by two of the top experts in their field... Sgt. Rock and Cpt. Johnny Cloud! Yeah... the Rock and the Navajo Ace!
Those German tanks up there-- the Doughboys flattening before them-- this is World War 1! The passageway in the cave must be a warp in time-- taking us back to the first World War!
That leaves just us! But we're going to keep on fighting as long as there's light... in this town of dead tanks... for Tony... for Sid... for the C.O.-- Otherwise the enemy'll break out've here and roll back our lines! We've got to be the bait that keeps 'em here!
No, men! I'm as thirsty as you are! But we've got to go on looking for those Panzers until we find them-- even if our tongues hang out! Because it's our thirst-- against the lives of hundreds of men in the lines!
You've poured out your blood fighting for this town, young captain! Now just sit there in your ringside seat and watch us finish your job for you! If we don't...it'll be because we've stopped breathing too!
Wait, General! Don't fade! The war won't be the same without you!
I... I can't see a thing! Th-that magnesium bomb blinded me!
Three of our tanks blasted out of this world! Nothing left... but a smoking shellhole... like an open grave! And our job's to recon for the GIs up ahead... until we find the monster gun that's ramming these giant shells down our throat... then sit back like a kid in a dunce cap in kindergarten-- while the infantry destroys the killer!
In war, it's every man for himself! I want to live, lieutenant!
Slim! Gus! Rick! Come back! You can't desert in the face of the enemy! Don't force me to shoot you!
Every soldier feels like running at one time, General! But he must swallow his fear!
Bingo!! We struck the jackpot! More green than all the shamrocks in Ireland... $150 million in loot the Nazis salted away in this deserted mine... and it's all ours of the taking!
Just like the post office motto says... "Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers" and all that jazz! That's us!
We tankmen fire at rolling steel! We forget that men of flesh and blood are broken... incinerated... our agonized cries smothered in flame... inside our steel tombs!
Whatever they did... they're soldiers. Couldn't let 'em be slaughtered... like trussed-up sheep!
War... It's like a hungry fire... being fed by tanks and men... steel and flesh melting in the flames of combat!
I'll fight you to the death with a tank, Colonel... but no one in his right mind would play that idiotic game!
Nimrod-- For God's sake, you can't shoot a man in cold blood! He's a soldier!
It's as if we're in the eye of a hurricane, no wind... no rain... nothing moving except us! But all around us... hell's breaking loose!
When Sgt. Rock sends up an S.O.S., they must be low on everything to block the enemy-- except their blood!
Sgt. Craig! Change course-- head southwest! We've been ordered to pick up an enemy defector... who's ready to spill some top-secret information! Our job's to bring him in alive--at all costs... and show him every courtesy due his rank!
General-- I lost the village because I wanted to spare the civilians! How many deaths will I be responsible for now-- trying to take it back?
They thought they'd pull the play away from me and spare me because they think I'm more important than any of them! It's my responsibility to go! If you were in my place, General... what would you have done?
You never know what surprises will show up in war, General!
The War--- The War! First, it killed Arch... then Slim... We fought in North Africa... Sicily... Italy... France... But the war never ends! This war will never end till we're all dead! Well, I've had enough! I want out!
I don't care what anyone says! This tank's "haunted"! And someday, somehow, somebody, somewhere... is going to agree with me!
I don't know how a tank can ever catch up with a plane again! But somehow-- somewhere-- we'll close with that Red Buzzard again!
Having our tank snatched like that from under us-- is like getting a direct hit! We might as well be dead! We've got to get our tank back!
We'll start being Infantrymen again! Our orders were to hold this position at all costs! Inside... or outside the tank!
How long am I going to have a head... with this mission you picked out for me deliberately? Why did you do it? Why me? Me? ME?
You hear him, Slim-- You see him! Now-- Don't tell me I'm not talking to the ghost of General Stuart!
Our... good-luck ghost... deserted us... That's why this happened... That's why we're... we're... finished!
Every morning I thank my lucky stars that I'm not an Infantry or an Air Officer-- who has to send men to certain death against enemy objectives!
Hung up or not-- We've got to knock out that pill box in front of us-- before we're clobbered by the planes above!
Act like you're-- glub--ugh-- soaping yourself, Slim! While I make believe I'm-- ugh--glub-- cooling off my head!
Craig, Gus, Rick, and I... we're like fingers on a hand! One is as important as the other! We're a team!
You'll never know the terror of 20th Century warfare! It's a bloodbath!
We gotta fool the Krauts into thinking all our tanks are fully manned... so you and your dead buddies will save Patton's column!
Blue Fox Squadron calling Hammer Base... The town's open... but the admission price... is too high!
My eyes must be playin' tricks on me...! It... It's the General!!
We're being hunted down... by our own tank!
If we don't finish this foxhole in time for our tank... those Panzers will dig a grave for all of us!
Look at him look at us-- as if he knows we're friends! I can practically "hear" him say, "Thanks, pals! Maybe someday I'll do the same for you! After all, we're in the same branch of service-- armor!"
I hope we haven't missed our dinner appointment with Marie! My stomach's all set for a platter of Frogs' legs in garlic sauce!
