French waiter to James Coburn in _The Great Escape_ Coburn’s character, a just-escaped POW, knows that the telephone call can’t possibly be for him. The waiter, a member of the Resistance, is just trying to get Coburn out of the Line of Fire, because the German officers at the same sidewalk cafe are about to be gunned down. The movie _The Great Escape_, while well-done and exciting and clearly done with the advice and cooperation of former POWs, nevertheless took amazing liberties. One was in giving Americans a much bigger role than they actually played in the escape (not their fault – the Germans separated them from the British early on) and the second was in being far more violent than reality. There’s no way the escapees would have done a lot of the things they’re shown doing in the film – there was too much risk of retribution. ---

Actually, it was Han saying it to Leia. It was also regularly quoted by me to my co-worker Amanda at Blockbuster whenever we did a close/open together. Which happened a little too frequently for our liking. ---
