:20:02
and then death, always death.
:20:04
Always death, and very quickly.
:20:08
The illness is highly infectious.
:20:10
Because there is a grave danger
of it spreading to the army...
:20:13
crippling our efforts against the enemy...
:20:15
it has been decided that
we all remain here...
:20:18
until the disease has run its course.
:20:22
I have to cross over to the village.
Today is market day.
:20:25
No one may leave the island.
I must safeguard the health of my troops.
:20:29
I'm afraid you'll have to
make an exception in my case, General.
:20:31
In my case and my wife's.
:20:33
I'm traveling on urgent business
for my government.
:20:35
No one may leave.
:20:36
But, my dear sir,
His Majesty's government...
:20:38
No one may leave the island.
:20:40
General Pherides,
I respect your concern and authority...
:20:43
but I must leave the island.
:20:45
- There are personal reasons...
- I will be glad to explain my wife's plight.
:20:48
No one may leave the island.
:20:50
But you must have observed
that my wife is an invalid.
:20:56
What about yourself, General?
What about the army?
:20:59
It's better to have no General
than one carrying the plague.
:21:02
The doctor will tell you what to do
and I will see that you do it.
:21:05
We will fight the plague.
:21:13
Well, if I have to be quarantined,
I couldn't pick prettier company.
:21:16
I'm sorry.
:21:19
Actually, I wish you weren't here at all,
that you were safe away.
:21:24
That's what I really mean.
That's what I should have said.
:21:30
Wash all you want to.
You cannot wash away evil.
:21:34
There is one among us
who brings punishment on us all.
:21:38
If you'd forget about the evil spirits
just long enough to pass us the towels...
:21:42
I'd be greatly obliged to you.
:21:47
What nonsense the old woman talks.
:21:50
It sounds no stranger to me than some
of the things you've been saying.
:21:53
Good winds and bad winds.
:21:55
I've explained that to you.
The disease is transmitted by fleas.
:21:59
Their bodies have
an 80% moisture content.
