:32:01
I'm sorry. I thought it might comfort you.
:32:05
It really wasn't his. It's an old one of mine.
:32:08
My mistake.
:32:11
Now there is a fighter's face.
:32:13
You take him out of those fancy feathers,
put him in battle fatigues...
:32:17
...he could almost be a paratrooper.
:32:19
He happens to have been
one of Napoleon's generals.
:32:23
Really?
:32:24
I bet he sent home a lot of loot?
:32:28
That chandelier, for one thing.
:32:30
When they took Venice.
:32:32
- Colonel.
- Yeah?
:32:35
- I didn't mean to be so rude.
- That's all right.
:32:37
- I'm still not myself.
- Sure. I understand.
:32:41
It was kind of you to tell me that lie.
:32:44
I wish you luck in getting
a new command, Colonel.
:32:48
I'd rather rely on tactics,
with strong reinforcements behind me.
:32:55
Well, is there any way I can help you?
:32:58
Now that you mention it, Countess...
:33:01
...I could use some elite troops
like you on my side.
:33:09
I thought that maybe...
:33:16
Colonel, Mr. DeGuyot will see you.
:33:19
- Colonel Raspeguy, sir.
- Sir.
:33:20
When my niece asked me to see you,
your name was already known to me.
:33:25
Thank you. Lovely lady, the countess.
:33:27
In this ministry, the issue is
whether you should be given...
:33:30
...another command or asked to resign.
:33:32
- I will never resign, sir.
- That's up to you.
:33:35
I have some questions to ask,
unofficially, of course. Please sit down.
:33:39
Thank you, I prefer standing.
:33:41
It's a habit I developed as a shepherd boy.
:33:45
General Melies complains that you
disobeyed his orders at Dien Bien Phu.
:33:50
Several times, sir.
The first time in order to recapture a hill.
:33:53
- Second time...
- Never mind.
:33:55
General Melies seems to have a point.
:33:57
Yes, sir, and they got the hill.
