:12:00
from the hayloft it looks
like one single sheet.
:12:03
So white.
:12:07
- Perhaps you can get leave soon.
- You may even be sent back as a farmer.
:12:12
A woman can't run a farm alone.
That's no good, you know?
:12:15
No matter how hard
she works.
:12:20
Harvest coming on again.
:12:23
What's the matter
with him?
:12:25
Got a letter yesterday from his wife.
He wants to get back to his farm.
:12:29
We'd all like
to get back home.
:12:32
I wonder what we'd do
if it were suddenly peacetime again?
:12:35
Get drunk
and look for women!
:12:37
I'd go looking
for a Cinderella...
:12:40
that could wear
this for a garter.
:12:42
And when I'd found her,
nobody'd see me for two weeks.
:12:47
I'll go back
to the peat fields...
:12:50
and those pleasant hours
in the beer gardens.
:12:54
And there's worse things
than cobbling too.
:12:58
Look. My family.
:13:03
I oughta give you a kick
in the backside for startin' all this.
:13:06
It's all right for all you to talk.
You've got something to go back to:
:13:10
wives, children, jobs.
:13:13
But what about us?
What have we got to go back to?
:13:16
- School?
- Why not? You know everything already.
:13:20
A man can't take all that rubbish
they teach you seriously...
:13:23
after three years
of shells and bombs.
:13:27
- You can't peel that off easily.
- They never taught us anything really useful,
:13:31
like how to light a cigarette in the
wind or make a fire out of wet wood...
:13:35
or bayonet a man in the belly instead of
the ribs where it gets jammed.
:13:39
What can happen
to us afterwards?
:13:41
I'll tell ya.
Take our class.
:13:45
Out of 20,
three are officers,
:13:48
nine dead,
:13:51
Mueller and three others
wounded...
:13:53
and one in the madhouse.
:13:56
We'll all be dead someday,
so let's forget it.
