:45:02
Suspicion is not conviction.
:45:04
Poppycock!
:45:05
In my experience'
the accused is never a good soldier.
:45:09
He's just asking for it.
:45:11
If not this time'
he was guilty a dozen other times.
:45:15
- Not my idea of justice.
- No, wait.
:45:19
I'll bet 1000 francs
against a trouser button
:45:22
that not one of you - not one! -
:45:25
can say he never came close
to being court-martialed.
:45:29
Say you take 3 days'
extra leave... Desertion!
:45:34
Or a bogus pass...
The unit seal traced on a copy.
:45:38
Forged documents!
Correct me if I'm wrong...
:45:40
5 to 10 years.
:45:42
Still, sir...
10 years for fake leave?
:45:46
When you asked
that artillery captain
:45:49
if he'd trained in a straitjacket...
:45:51
He was shelling our lines!
I lost 3 men!
:45:55
Insulting a superior.
And on active duty...
:45:58
5 to 10 years.
:45:59
So, for the handful
of wronged innocents'
:46:02
there are 100'000 guilty
who get away!
:46:05
I couldn't agree more, sir.
:46:07
Those shot as an example
deserve to be.
:46:10
Sure! Shoot a few'
so the rest think twice!
:46:14
We haven't the choice of arms.
A firing sguad is one.
:46:17
Your men's knives, another.
:46:19
No offense, sir...
:46:20
but I recruited lots of my boys
from the brig.
:46:23
I don't know many who'd go
where they've gone! Not many!
:46:27
So?
:46:28
Before making an example'
follow their example!
:46:31
So you've gone over to the enemy?
:46:34
How you talk!
There's no more enemy!
:46:37
Don't believe it!
:46:38
The enemy's changed, that's all.
:46:40
No Bulgars, Turks or Boches now, OK'
:46:43
but one false move and the brass
hats will fix your wagon good.
:46:47
You heard the Major!
Even De Scève!
:46:50
It's not our world, Norbert.
:46:52
If you join their circus'
they'll eat you raw.
:46:56
May I?
