I have watched that movie (Cool Hand Luke) so many times and the last few times I have listened as closely as possible, and it seems like Strother Martin actually says:

"What we have here is,(pause, emphasis) failure to communcate."

I agree the diction with the affected accent renders the passage apart from the written dialogue which drops the "a", and the "i" in communicate is lost while it sounds more like camyunekate; but then, I lost over 40% of my hearing on the rifle team in the Army National Guard.

I agree with you on What we have here is a failure to communicate

You forgot the other Cool Hand Luker - "I'm shakin' that tree, Boss."
