:12:02
How do you do?
:12:03
And now, Colonel, may we have
your permission...
:12:05
to resume the dance
that was interrupted?
:12:08
Oh, for heaven's sake, please.
I'm not here officially until tomorrow.
:12:11
Thank you.
Carry on, pipes.
:12:13
Charlie, we better break off.
:12:16
- You'll join us in a drink, Colonel.
- Thank you.
:12:24
Straight or with water?
:12:26
I'd rather have a soft drink, if I may.
Anything will do.
:12:29
- Not a whiskey?
- Not a whiskey.
:12:31
But we all drink whiskey
in this battalion.
:12:33
Yes, I remember that. Whiskey doesn't
really agree with me, I'm afraid.
:12:37
- A lemonade for Colonel Barrow.
- Sir.
:12:42
This is my farewell party,
you understand.
:12:44
There's no a carry-on like this every night.
:12:49
Aye, so you found
your way here all right.
:12:52
Oh, yes, I've been here before, you know.
:12:54
- Aye, when was that?
- I came as a subleton.
:12:56
- From Sandhurst?
- From Oxford, as a matter of fact.
:12:58
From Oxford. Fancy that.
:13:01
So, you came in that way,
with a university degree?
:13:05
- For what it was worth.
- Well, I came in the other way...
:13:07
by Sauchiehall Street
boot-boy, band boy and Barlinnie.
:13:11
- BarlinnieJail?
- Just the cooler.
:13:14
Armistice night, 1933.
:13:16
Dead drunk and disorderly.
:13:19
Sounds a much better training.
:13:21
- Happy days.
- Good luck.
:13:27
It'll be some time since you were
with the battalion, I'm thinking.
:13:30
Yes, indeed.
I feel quite a new boy.
:13:32
It's a while since I've been
with any battalion.
:13:34
I've been sitting behind a desk
for some time now.
:13:36
One of the lads said
you used to teach at Sandhurst.
:13:39
- Simpson?
- Aye, you're right now.
:13:43
And what was it you said
you did before?
:13:45
I don't think I did say.
:13:47
- You didn't?
- Like you, Sinclair, I was in jail.
:13:52
A prisoner-of-war camp, eh?
:13:54
Officers' privileges
and amateur dramatics.
:13:58
It's no quite the same thing.
