1:03:06
Somebody deserves a medal, sir.
1:03:19
How many men in your party?
1:03:21
l don't really know, sir.
1:03:23
-You don't know?
-Twelve, usually.
1:03:26
One of the men took sick
this morning, sir.
1:03:29
It took three or four
to help him to the hospital.
1:03:34
And-- He took terrible sick, sir.
1:03:38
A corporal should know
how many men he has under him.
1:03:42
Oh, yes, sir.
1:03:45
Have you a nervous affliction?
Stop making those faces.
1:03:50
It may be funny to you,
but it's not military behaviour.
1:03:54
No, sir.
1:03:59
We must put a stop
to these demonstrations.
1:04:11
-l say, Reeves?
-Yes, sir?
1:04:13
Ever built a bridge
over a stream like the Kwai?
1:04:17
Yes, sir, half a dozen of them
in Madras, Bengal....
1:04:21
If this were your bridge...
1:04:23
...how would you get it under way?
1:04:27
Get it under way, sir?
1:04:29
First of all,
l wouldn't build it here.
1:04:32
Oh, why not?
1:04:34
l was trying to tell you...
1:04:36
...the Japanese couldn't have
picked a worse location.
1:04:40
You see those piles?
1:04:42
They're sinking.
1:04:46
We could drive those logs
forever and they wouldn't hold.
1:04:50
Where would you build it?
1:04:53
Further downstream, sir.
Across those narrows.
1:04:57
Then we'd have solid bedrock
on both banks.
