1:04:00
But it's the only way
1:04:02
I can still appear to be
1:04:05
serving my fatherland.
1:04:10
I have burns all over...
That explains my gloves.
1:04:15
My spine is fractured in two places.
1:04:19
A silver plate.
1:04:22
In my kneecap, too.
1:04:27
I owe these riches
to the misfortunes ofwar.
1:04:32
- May I ask you a question?
- Of course.
1:04:36
Why did you make
1:04:39
an exception ofme
1:04:41
by inviting me here?
1:04:43
Because your name is Boeldieu,
career offiicer in the French Army.
1:04:48
And I am Rauffenstein, career offiicer
in the German Imperial Army.
1:04:53
But my comrades are Officers, as well.
1:04:56
A Maréchal and a Rosenthal, Officers?
1:05:00
They're fine soldiers.
1:05:02
Charming legacy
of the French Revolution.
1:05:06
Neither you nor I
can stop the march of time.
1:05:10
Boeldieu...
1:05:12
I don't know who will win this war,
1:05:16
but whatever the outcome,
1:05:18
it will mean the end of
the Rauffensteins and the Boeldieus.
1:05:23
We're no longer needed.
1:05:25
Isn't that a pity?
1:05:27
Perhaps.
1:05:33
I admire the way
you tend your geranium.
1:05:36
Don't think I've become a botanist,
1:05:40
but it's the only flower
in the fortress.
1:05:45
Nothing grows here but ivy and nettles.
1:05:50
I'm glad I'm leaving with you.
1:05:53
With us.
1:05:54
Sure, I like Boeldieu, but...
1:05:59
With him...
