Patton (1970)

Lionel Murton: Third Army Chaplain

Quotes 

• Patton : I want a prayer... A weather prayer.

  Third Army Chaplain : A weather prayer, sir?

  Patton : Yes... Let's see if we can't get God helping us with this thing.

  Third Army Chaplain : It'll take a pretty thick rug for that kind of prayer.

  Patton : I don't care if it takes a flying carpet.

  Third Army Chaplain : I don't know how this is going to be received, General, praying for good weather so we can kill our fellow man?

  Patton : Well, I can assure you, sir, because of my intimate relations with the Almighty, if you write a good prayer, we'll have good weather. I expect that prayer within an hour.

  Third Army Chaplain : Yes, sir.
