:30:21
Enjoy yourselves.
:30:34
Out there, children play soldier...
:30:38
In here, soldiers play like children.
:30:42
I wish I knew what's going on
back home.

:30:47
- No news?
- Nothing.

:30:48
I don't care what my missus is up to.
:30:51
I want out
'cause I'm bored stiff... bored!

:31:00
So you want to escape for the fun ofit.
:31:02
Right!
:31:03
For me, it's the spirit
of contradiction.

:31:06
They won't let me fiight,
so I'm dying to.

:31:09
I hate being here
when others are biting the dust.

:31:14
For me it's simple.
:31:15
A golf course is for golf.
A tennis court for tennis.

:31:19
A prison camp is for escaping.
:31:22
And you, Rosenthal, the sportsman...
:31:24
Him? He was born in Jerusalem.
:31:27
No, in Vienna. To a Danish mother
and a Polish father, naturalized French.

:31:32
Old Celtic aristocracy!
:31:35
Yet for all your French roots, none
of you owns an acre ofyour country.

:31:40
In 35 years,
the Rosenthals have acquired

:31:43
three chateaux with hunting preserves,
:31:46
farms, orchards, warrens, stud farms,
:31:49
and 3 galleries of bona fiide ancestors.
:31:52
If that's not worth escaping
to fight for!

:31:55
I'd never considered patriotism
from such an unusual angle.
