:12:01
Yes, sir.
:12:03
You were an accountant in Montreal?
:12:06
Yes, sir. Not really an accountant.
:12:08
That is, I didn't have my charter.
:12:10
Exactly what did you do?
:12:12
Well, sir, I just checked columns
and columns of figures...
:12:16
...which people had checked
before me...
:12:18
...and other people checked them
after I had checked them.
:12:22
-Sounds a frightful bore.
-Sir, it was a bore.
:12:25
How did you wind up here?
:12:27
ln '39 I came over to London to enlist.
Later I volunteered for this work.
:12:32
-You volunteered!
-Yes, sir. See, the regular Army--
:12:36
Go ahead, you can be frank.
:12:38
Well, the regular Army reminded me
of my job in civilian life.
:12:43
They don't expect you to think.
:12:47
Think about this.
:12:49
Are you sure you'd be able
to use it in cold blood?
:12:53
I know how to use it.
:12:54
That's not what I meant.
Could you use it in cold blood?
:12:58
Could you kill without hesitation?
:13:01
That's a question I've asked myself.
It's worried me quite a bit.
:13:07
And what was the answer?
:13:09
I don't honestly know, sir.
:13:11
I've tried to imagine myself....
:13:16
I suppose I find it hard to kid myself
that killing isn't a crime.
:13:20
It's an old army problem.
:13:23
Well, I think that's all.
Thank you, Joyce.
:13:28
Am I to go with the team?
:13:31
We'll let you know.
:13:40
You see what I mean.
:13:41
Well, at least he was honest.
:13:43
None of us ever know the answer to
that question until the moment arises.
:13:48
What's your opinion, Shears?
:13:50
Well, he's Canadian.
:13:52
That fits with the international
composition of this outfit.
:13:56
If he wants to go,
he can take my place!
:13:59
Well, if you're all agreed on Joyce,
he's yours.
