:44:01
But what am I then?
:44:04
Well, try as I may, I can't see you
queuing for a number eight bus,

:44:09
jingling your fourpence.
:44:12
That's because I'm German.
:44:23
I think you are a civilian.
:44:25
Yes, certainly I am.
Don't be put off by the clothes we wear.

:44:28
We only wear these for fighting in.
:44:31
I expect I've grown out
of my Harris tweeds by now.

:44:34
Putting it that way, I think we all are.
:44:38
Yes, I think underneath
we are all blameless.

:44:44
- Hey, Franz, you are a civilian.
- A civilian?

:44:50
"Thank Christ for that" he said,
laying down his rifle and going home,

:44:54
so helping to perpetuate the dangerous
myth that soldiers don't like war.

:44:59
Which they do.
:45:05
It's a strange thought to think that this will
be the last worid war fought by civilians.

:45:10
I find it strange.
:45:12
It'll make a nice change
to stick a bayonet into a chap

:45:15
rather than a rotten old sandbag.
:45:19
You'll be all right, lad.
:45:23
I'm not going. Let him nick his own petrol.
I've got a young wife.

:45:30
Now, see, lads, there's more to it, eh?
:45:35
There's lots of satisfaction
to be had out of the anticipation.

:45:39
There's lots of fun and letting off steam.
It's not all death.

:45:45
There's lots of fun to be had
out of other things as well.

:45:48
Now, come on, let's take a look at you.
:45:51
Hang on a minute.
:45:53
Can't let you down
with dirty nails, can we?

:45:56
Right. Crews front. Get fell in.
