Michael Caine as the smart mouthed Lt. Col. J.O.E. Vandeleur.
<i>Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: Remember what the general said. We're the cavalry. It would be bad form to arrive early; in the nick of time would do nicely.</i>
<i>Lt. General Horrocks: Kickoff will be at 14:35 hours tomorrow afternoon. The Irish Guards under the command of Col. Vandeleur will take the lead.
Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: Christ, not us again.
Lt. General Horrocks: What'd you say to that, Joe?
Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: Delighted, sir, truly delighted.
Lt. General Horrocks: I've selected you to lead us, not only because of your extraordinary fighting ability, but also because, in the unlikely event the Germans ever get you, they will assume from your attire that they've captured a wreched peasant and immediately send you on your way. </i>
<i>Lt. General Horrocks: Do you think you'll be able to pull it off, Joe?
Lt. Colonel J.O.E. Vandeleur: I have nothing else planned for this afternoon. </i>
