Dirk: Hello Roy. How are you? Sean Connery: I'm not sure that I'll know for a while. But I'm sorry about the way it worked out. Dirk: You did all you could. Sean: Yes. But did everyone else? Dirk: They've got a bed for you upstairs if you want it. Sean: I took 10,000 men into Arnham. I've come out with 2. I don't feel much like sleeping. Dirk: Quite. I've just been onto Monty. Very proud and pleased. Sean: Pleased? Dirk: Of course. Operation Market Garden was 90% successful. Sean: And what do you think? Dirk: Well as you know, I've always thought we tried to go a bridge too far. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
