:54:02
Everybody says
it's somebody else.

:54:05
Well, how do they
start a war?

:54:08
Well, one country
offends another.

:54:10
How could one country
offend another?

:54:13
You mean there's a mountain over in Germany
gets mad at a field over in France?

:54:18
- Well, stupid,
one people offends another.

:54:22
Oh, if that's it,
I shouldn't be here at all.

:54:25
I don't feel offended.
:54:28
It don't apply
to tramps like you.

:54:31
Good. Then I can be
going home right away.

:54:34
- Ah, you just try it.
- Yeah. You wanna get shot?

:54:38
- The kaiser and me--
:54:42
Me and the kaiser felt
just alike about this war.

:54:46
We didn't either of us
want any war, so I'm going home.

:54:50
- He's there already.
- Somebody must have wanted it.

:54:53
Maybe it was
the English.

:54:55
No, I don't want
to shoot any Englishmen.

:54:58
I never saw one
till I came up here.

:55:01
And I suppose most of them never saw
a German till they came up here.

:55:05
- No, I'm sure they weren't asked about it.
- No.

:55:09
Well...
:55:11
it must be doing
somebody some good.

:55:13
- Not me and the kaiser.
- I think maybe the kaiser wanted a war.

:55:18
You leave us
out of this!

:55:22
I don't see that.
:55:25
The kaiser's got
everything he needs.

:55:27
Well, he never
had a war before.

:55:29
Every full-grown emperor
needs one war to make him famous.

:55:33
- Why, that's history.
- Yeah, generals too. They need war.

:55:35
- And manufacturers. They get rich.
:55:38
I think it's more
a kind of fever.

:55:41
Nobody wants it
in particular,

:55:43
and then all at once,
there it is.

:55:46
We didn't want it.
The English didn't want it.

:55:49
And here we are fighting.
