Hey, Rick, I gotta ask you something I heard about. Was it true you almost got the McQueen part in The Great Escape? [♪♪♪] - Hilts, isn't it? - Captain Hilts, actually. - Seventeen escape attempts. - Eighteen. Never had an audition. Never had a meeting. Never met John Sturges. So, no, I don't think you could say I... I almost got the part, but... - Tunnel man, engineer. - Flier. I suppose what's called in the American Army, a hotshot pilot. But the story goes, for a brief moment, McQueen almost passed on the movie, and during that brief moment, I, apparently, was on a list of four. You have other plans? I haven't seen Berlin yet from the ground or from the air, and I plan on doing both before the war's over. You and who? - Me and... Me and three Georges. - Which three Georges? Peppard, Maharis and Chakiris. - Oh, man. - Yeah. That's gotta hurt. Yeah, well, I didn't get it, McQueen did it, and, frankly, I never had a chance. [CHUCKLES] Ten days isolation, Hilts. Captain Hilts. Twenty days. Right.
