[drinks his scotch] I must say, damn good stuff, Sir.
[sets his glass down and smokes his cigarette] Now, about this pickle... we find ourselves in. It would appear there's only thing left for you to do.
Major Hellstrom: And what would that be?
Lt. Archie Hicox: Stiglitz.
Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz: Say 'auf Wiedersehen' to your Nazi balls. [Stiglitz fires his gun into Hellstrom's crotch]
