:35:00
- Please, sit down.
- No, thank you.
:35:02
He says, among other things,
that your junior officers and men...
:35:06
...respect you in the field.
:35:08
It's your superior officers
with whom you can't seem to get along.
:35:11
- No, sir.
- And that is to stop.
:35:14
Yes, sir.
:35:15
If I'm going to help you.
:35:17
Help me how, sir?
:35:19
The command of the 10th Parachute
Regiment in Algeria may be open.
:35:24
I'll take it, sir.
:35:26
Failure in this command
is the end of your career.
:35:30
The only reason
you are being considered at all...
:35:33
...is because the situation in Algeria...
:35:36
...is growing worse.
:35:37
- Can I take my former officers with me, sir?
- Lf they are fools enough to volunteer.
:35:42
No one is assigned to the 10th.
:35:44
It will be composed mostly of rejects
from other units.
:35:48
Could you be ready in ten days to report
to the 12th Military District in Algeria?
:35:53
Yes, sir.
:35:56
- Good luck, Raspeguy.
- Thank you, sir.
:35:58
I'd rather rely on tactics.
:36:00
By the way, sir, who'll be my
commander in chief in Algeria?
:36:05
General Melies.
:36:10
Thank you, sir.
:36:29
- Why did you want to come here anyway?
- I don't know.
:36:34
I guess I'm just testing myself.
:36:37
Your uncle said I might be leaving
for Algeria soon.
:36:41
Will you be taking your band of pirates
with you?
:36:44
The 10th is on a volunteer basis,
except for the rejects.
:36:48
But with a little arm-twisting,
I'll get my men back, all except one.
:36:54
Important?
:36:55
Well, questionable. But a good officer.
:36:58
He's an Arab.
