Either "please, please, please" or "you're welcome, you're welcome, you're
welcome" depending on whether or not it's a reply to "danke."


I couldn't remember the movie, The Longest Yard (1962) was my guess.

GI asked the question to his GI buddies, of a surrendering Nazi...um,
....*after* it was no longer an issue - IYKWIM.

Might have been Battle of the Bulge (1965) or Dirty Dozen (1967) or Patton
(1970) or.....

"The Longest Day," actually. The end of the Ranger assault on Point Du Hoc.
