:18:02
So I see. Wait.
:18:06
Tell me, about the wine...
:18:10
why did you refuse to serve me?
:18:11
- Why do you kill your own countrymen?
- And when have I done that?

:18:14
In my district, they still speak of
how you collected taxes...

:18:17
in the little villages with field artillery.
:18:19
- They were in rebellion against the taxes.
- But they were Greeks.

:18:22
Who is against the law of Greece
is not a Greek.

:18:25
Laws can be wrong and laws can be cruel,
and the people who live only by the law...

:18:30
are both wrong and cruel.
:18:47
When I went up there, she wasn't
quite so impudent. She was frightened.

:18:51
Did she tell you why she wouldn't
pour the wine for you?

:18:53
Some silly grudge against me,
for collecting taxes in her district.

:18:57
That was before the war.
:18:59
About time you got back to the army,
General, where there's no back talk.

:19:02
- I'll be glad to get back.
- Cheer up. You won't see her again.

:19:08
General Pherides...
:19:10
I'd like your advice about something,
a grave matter.

:19:13
- What's wrong?
- Mr. Robbins. We thought him drunk.

:19:16
- Well?
- I'd like the General to see him.

:19:22
He was going back
to hear the sound of Bow Bells.

:19:24
I'm afraid he'll never hear them again.
:19:29
- He complained of not feeling well.
- He staggered.

:19:32
That staggering, his dying so quickly.
:19:34
In your campaigns,
have you never seen men...

:19:36
who staggered before they died,
who talked incoherently, walked blindly?

:19:40
I've seen men die drunk,
and I've seen men die of the plague.

:19:43
There's no possibility of that here,
is there?

:19:45
I'll send for Dr. Drossos. He'll know.
:19:47
And until he comes,
everyone must stay on the island.

:19:51
We are faced with a very serious form
of the plague, septicemic plague.

:19:56
The symptoms are wavering gait...
:19:59
convulsions, weakness,
sometimes blindness...
