:28:00
I would mention the way we dance.
:28:04
I'm well aware
that you all know the steps...
:28:07
but some, I feel, need reminding
that dancing should be considered...
:28:11
a social grace...
:28:13
rather than a noisy ritual.
:28:17
Therefore, starting tomorrow...
:28:19
each Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday morning...
:28:22
at 0715 hours...
:28:25
there will be dancing for three quarters
of an hour before breakfast.
:28:30
No one will raise his hands above his head
except in the foursome reel.
:28:33
No shouting.
No swinging on one arm.
:28:37
The pipe major will take the parade...
:28:40
and you will report dressed as you are now,
but with plimsolls on.
:28:43
Subletons turn out,
I presume, Colonel?
:28:45
- All officers.
:28:51
I've been dancing reels
for 30 years.
:28:53
I thought he said his visit
the other night was unofficial.
:28:55
- You said something, Captain Rattray?
- Sir.
:28:59
What?
:29:00
I said I thought you said your presence
atJock's party was unofficial, sir.
:29:04
It was unofficial.
:29:06
But I warn you, that sort of remark
is extremely ill-advised!
:29:14
That's all, gentlemen.
Thank you.
:29:27
- We've been dancers, all of us.
- Sure it is.
:29:29
- I said he was a sassenach.
- Oh, for crying out loud!
:29:32
Steady, steady, steady.
:29:35
I'm afraid they're not
gonna like it, sir.
:29:37
- Who aren't going to like what?
- I think you know what I mean, sir.
:29:40
- That block over there band block, isn't it?
- Sir.
:29:43
The windows are filthy.
You can see from here.
:29:45
- Colonel, I
- I wouldn't do it unless I thought
it was absolutely necessary.
:29:48
- Colonel, it's almost an insult.
- I don't think so.
:29:50
Some of them have been dancing
for 30 years or more.
:29:52
Then it's a pity they haven't learned
to dance like gentlemen.
:29:55
- Surely the officers of field rank
- You will not contradict me!
:29:58
Do you understand?
:29:59
- Colonel.
- Kindly tell the pipe major I want to see him.
