The scene with the Russian General after the war ....
“Ok, I’ll drink with him, one sonofabitch to another.”
“Ok, I’ll drink with him, one sonofabitch to another.”
Classic Patton. :)
His wife was a real pistol herself.
After competing in the Pentathlon in the 1912 Olympics Patton and his wife stayed in Europe for a couple of weeks to visit people.
At the end of their stay Mrs Patton began packing while George went to visit one last friend. When he returned he was carrying a sword he had badly wanted. He told his wife to put it in the large trunk on the bottom of the pile. She grabbed the sword and chased him around the room ending up with him perched atop the trunks yelling “calm down down Bea, I’ll pack the damned thing myself!”
Another occasion they were attending a formal military ball. George took his wife’s coat to the coat room and returned to find her astraddle an officer his hair firmly in her hands as she mercilessly pounded the mans head against the floor.
People learned real quick not to say detrimental things about George while Beatrice was in ear shot.
They were made for each other.
