Horrocks says, "Did you just call me a coward?" Yancey says, "Yes… And I will now violate my security clearance to tell you exactly how much of a coward you are." Yancey says, "The OSS, in cooperation with M15, asked a young lady to come to your camp, in the guise of an entertainer, and extract information from your prisoners, anything that might be of use to the allies in an invasion of Europe. You were issued orders not to hinder her." Yancey says, "Knowing the risk to her safety and reputation, the young lady consented to do as we asked. You, in turn, disobeyed your orders, bullied her, and tried to put her in harm's way." Yancey says, "You have now compromised her reputation and her ability to provide useful information. The only thing Lt. O'Malley did that was wrong in that assault was to beat me to you."
