  Gen. Boyd : Well, for God's sake don't lose *that* one. Now, here are your new papers. You're name is Engel. Dr. Engel. Traveling from Pilsen. Your background's a bit sketchy, I'm afraid. We haven't had a great deal of time.

  Phil Bradley : Supposing I'm questioned?

  Gen. Boyd : You'll just have to use your imagination.
