1:12:00
Mr. Forsythe, you wiII be
responsibIe for the prisoner.
1:12:05
You fooI.
Can't you see--
1:12:07
So you--
Mac!
1:12:10
Come aIong.
1:12:15
WeII, I must say
you spoke your mind,
1:12:18
oId coIoniaI, if
there's any virtue in that.
1:12:21
''Regiment, duty,
you're improperIy dressed.''
1:12:23
That's aII
he cares about.
1:12:24
So they'II say,
1:12:25
''Very good, CoI. Stone,''
and pin another medaI on him.
1:12:28
Or eIse he's...
1:12:29
Haven't you said enough,
McGregor?
1:12:31
The coIoneI's right
and you know it.
1:12:33
You're onIy making it
harder for him.
1:12:35
If you take my advice,
you'II go over and apoIogize.
1:12:37
Not me. ApoIogize
after what he did?
1:12:40
Oh, for heaven's sake, man,
get some sense.
1:12:43
Do you suppose it was
an easy thing for him to do?
1:12:45
His own son?
1:12:46
Why wasn't it?
1:12:48
He doesn't care
about him.
1:12:49
He'd do the same thing
to any of us.
1:12:51
(McGregor)
But to sit here and Iet them
puII his own son to pieces
1:12:54
because of a few
cases of ammunition--
1:12:55
Are you bIind, man?
1:12:57
You think he doesn't care?
1:12:59
WeII, I know he does.
1:13:01
WeII, I suppose
if it were your son,
1:13:03
you'd sit here, too,
Iike a dummy.
1:13:04
You wouId not--
1:13:05
No, I shouId probabIy
have ordered the regiment out.
1:13:08
That's because I'm not
the man the coIoneI is.
1:13:10
Nor the soIdier.
1:13:11
WeII, if that's what
you caII being a man
1:13:13
or a soIdier, I don't
want any part of it.
1:13:15
Not me.
1:13:16
That kid needs him.
It's his own bIood,
1:13:18
and if he cared
a hang about him--
1:13:20
Of course he cares. But
what's that got to do with it?
1:13:23
He Ioved his wife, too,
but he Iost her.
1:13:25
She was American.
1:13:26
CouIdn't stick the service,
couIdn't understand.
1:13:28
So he chose the regiment then
just as he's doing now.
1:13:31
But that doesn't mean
he didn't care.
1:13:34
I know.
1:13:35
I ought to know.
We were Cubs together.
1:13:38
He put his whoIe souI
into the regiment,
1:13:40
and that's aII he's had.
1:13:42
And he won't have that Iong,
either. Retirement.
1:13:45
He'II have an armchair
in the cIub,
1:13:47
and a window over the rag,
and that's aII.
1:13:49
And he'II have nothing
1:13:50
if his boy doesn't carry on
in this regiment.
1:13:53
Then he'd have everything?
1:13:54
Of course he wouId.
That's what it means to him.
1:13:57
But you think
he'd Iet that make
1:13:58
any difference
to his orders, to his job?
