Quote context

[...]

- You know, if I had my way, I'd send that genius son of a bitch an engraved invitation in iambic pentameter-a challenge in two stanzas to meet me out there alone in the desert.

- I'll deliver it.

- Rommel in his tank, and me in mine. We'd stop about 20 paces, we'd get out, we'd shake hands. Then we'd button up and we'd do battle, just the two of us.

- And that battle would decide the outcome of the war.

- It's too bad jousting's gone out of style.

- It's like your poetry, General. It isn't part of the 20th century.

- Yeah, you're right. The world grew up. Hell of a shame.

- I want a 24-hour guard put around this area. If we don't, the damn Arabs will dig 'em up just to get their clothes.

- Yes, sir. (4)

- Our graves aren't going to disappear like everybody else's who fought here. The Greeks, the Romans, the Carthaginians.

- God, how I hate the 20th century.

Top rated lines from this movie

A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning that all glory is fleeting.
All my life I've wanted to lead a lot of men in a desperate battle. Now I'm going to do it.
Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
They don't look like soldiers. They don't act like soldiers. Why should they be expected to fight like soldiers?
