One of the best showdowns in the film, in my humble opinion. Captain Hilts (Steve McQueen), being the smarty pants that he is, decides to take on the new Kommandant Colonel von Luger (Hannes Messemer). Classic line in this tet-a-tet:

von Luger: Are all American officers so ill-mannered?
Hilts: Hmmm, about 99%.

Oh dear, Hilts. Best not to tick off management. Off to the cooler with you...
