Yes, the doctor was telling me.
Seems incredible.

:32:04
Strange things happened
during the war.

:32:06
Yes.
:32:09
Strange landing places.
:32:12
Strange meetings.
:32:23
Dinner! Dinner!
:32:27
It's delicious.
:32:31
Shall we go?
:32:39
Some more curry, Mr. Forrester.
You're not eating a thing.

:32:42
- Did you not like it?
- Oh, it was terrific.

:32:44
I've eaten too much already, thanks.
:32:47
I've been admiring your tablecloth.
:32:49
Ah, you have an eye
for fine things, Mr. Forrester.

:32:53
It was worked by the girls
at the mission in Rangoon for Miss McNab.

:32:55
They gave it to her
on her 21st birthday.

:32:59
Take no notice of him, Mr. Forrester.
I'm not ashamed of my age.

:33:03
For my 45th birthday they made it,
:33:06
and all the way from Rangoon,
through every inch of the way,

:33:09
I kept telling myself,
"McNab, whatever else you may lose,

:33:12
you'll not be losing
that tablecloth the girls gave you."

:33:15
It's a beautiful thing.
:33:16
Aye.
:33:19
Three hundred of us died
on that journey, Mr. Forrester.

:33:24
That's how old I am.
:33:26
Miss McNab,
when I get back home,

:33:29
I'm going to see that you're decorated
if it's the last thing I do.

:33:31
Ach, don't gab so much.
Give Mr. Forrester a cup of tea, Anna.

:33:35
No, no. I mean it.
:33:37
If you want to decorate someone,
you should decorate the good Lord.

:33:42
If you could get His name
in the honors list,

:33:44
you'd be talking, I'm telling you.
:33:45
Well, if you'll write the citation,
I'll see what I can do.

:33:48
What you can do, Dr. Harris,
is to think about Easter.

:33:50
What's your favorite hymn
for Easter, Mr. Forrester?

:33:55
Oh, Easter hymns?
