:40:00
Ah.
:40:01
But two miIIion
rounds of ammunition.

:40:03
Oh, no, WoodIey.
:40:05
Why, that's enough
to start a smaII-sized war.

:40:07
And then, who knows?
:40:13
Yes, who knows?
:40:18
But he asked for it.
:40:20
And if we refused, weII,
he mightn't be our friend.

:40:23
And so he gets it, eh?
Yes.

:40:26
McGregor, Sahib.
:40:27
Oh, ask Mr. McGregor
to come in.

:40:29
Oh, sit down, sir,
won't you?

:40:40
You saw Barrett?
Yes, sir.

:40:41
He reports Mohammed Khan
is trying to stir up
aII the border tribes,

:40:44
and effect
a coaIition of aII of them.

:40:46
They're Iistening
to him as he's promised

:40:48
to suppIy them
with machine guns,

:40:50
and two miIIion
rounds of ammunition.

:40:51
Ammunition?
:40:53
Oh, that's good work.
Thank you, McGregor.

:40:55
Thank Barrett, sir.
:41:00
Look at here, sir, I--I know
it's none of my business,

:41:03
but couIdn't we
sIip out of here,

:41:04
a smaII detachment of us,
anyway, on our own?

:41:07
Try to get a chance
at him, kiII him,

:41:08
and--and nip the whoIe
business in the bud?

:41:11
Are you suggesting
:41:13
that I shouId commence
hostiIities without orders?

:41:16
And, uh, ahem,
without reporting this

:41:18
to the InteIIigence?
:41:19
InteIIigence, those fooIs.
GeneraI staff?

:41:21
You know, sir, they'II send us
anywhere but into action.

:41:24
To GopaI to stick pigs
for instance,
Iike Iast summer.

:41:27
An exceIIent suggestion.
:41:32
Sir Thomas,
Mr. McGregor.

:41:34
Mr. McGregor, Maj. Gen.
