1:42:02
Polygamous, yes.
1:42:04
They're simple folk who do
in full view what we conceal.
1:42:08
I'm for starting a fad!
1:42:11
Still, it's a bit shocking, no?
1:42:14
You get used to it.
1:42:15
How right we were to go there!
1:42:18
To teach 'em prudery?
1:42:19
No, to cure them.
Shots. Against syphilis.
1:42:27
The peasants are home again.
1:42:30
Smoke in the chimneys...
1:42:32
Life goes on.
1:42:34
Not for everyone.
1:42:37
True enough, Captain.
1:42:41
An hour's march...
1:42:43
Erlane's scared shitless.
It's a moonless night - I checked.
1:42:48
There's still some shooting.
He doesn't know the sector.
1:42:51
If you're bushed'
imagine his fatigue!
1:42:54
Stumbling, half dead...
1:42:56
He sees a helmet'
raises his hands: "me prizonir"!
1:43:00
Maybe in Boche talk.
1:43:01
Reveal our positions?
He can't. And it's pointless.
1:43:05
Why?
1:43:07
His despatch was marked
1:43:09
with all the machine-gun positions.
Those guys know how to read!
1:43:14
You've given me a defense
for the poor boy.
1:43:17
And hope.
I'll cite you as a witness.
1:43:20
Character witness?
That'll cook his goose.
1:43:24
Those 5 generals
won't see it like that.
1:43:28
Not one ever saw battle
close enough to get the jitters.
1:43:32
And if I say that...
1:43:33
As Erlane's superior'
your report on his conduct
1:43:37
shows you had little esteem for him.
1:43:39
None at all. He's not a soldier.
1:43:42
Can you be more specific?
Was he guilty of insubordination?
1:43:47
No. He was the ideal subordinate.
1:43:50
Subordinate to everbody.
A servant's mentality.
1:43:53
Item dismissed.
1:43:55
When you say, "He's no soldier."
1:43:57
Do you mean he's unfit
physically? Or morally?
