:39:01
You're very hard on your mother.
:39:03
It seems a harmless enough pretense
to me.

:39:05
No, Mrs. Barham.
:39:07
No. You see, now my other brother
can't wait to reach enlistment age.

:39:11
- That'll be in September.
- Lord.

:39:14
Maybe ministers and generals
blunder us into war, Mrs. Barham...

:39:17
the least the rest of us can do is
to resist honoring the institution.

:39:22
What has my mother got
for pretending bravery was admirable?

:39:25
She's under constant sedation...
:39:27
and terrified she may
wake up one morning...

:39:29
and find her last son
has run off to be brave.

:39:34
I don't think I was rude or unkind before.
Do you, Mrs. Barham?

:39:43
No.
:39:47
You better push off, Emily,
if you've got to get to work.

:39:54
Give my best to Father, then.
:39:55
Your father died in the blitz...
:39:57
and your brother died a brave
and pointless death in December 1940.

:40:01
- I've carried on much too long with all this.
- Mother.

:40:04
No, do go.
Honestly, I'd much rather be alone.

:40:06
Really, I mean it.
:40:09
You're a kind man, Commander.
I hope you'll come again.

:40:12
Thank you, ma'am. I'd like to.
:40:33
At the same time, Jesse,
it has to be a neap tide...

:40:36
so we can unload all the Army's heavy
stuff with a minimum of open beach.

:40:42
Jesse, D-day has to be June 5 or 6.
:40:46
We won't repeat these tidal conditions
for half a year, at least with a moon.

:40:51
That'll put us into the winter.
:40:53
Jesse, why don't we
knock off this briefing?

:40:56
- We've been at it since 3:00.
- Yeah, I'm tired.
