:09:02
- Pretty shy on seating accommodation.
- More than enough for me.
:09:05
Never got the habit of sitting.
Like to be on my feet.
:09:08
- Keep on the move.
- I can vouch for that, Colonel.
:09:11
I can hardly get him behind a desk
long enough to sign an order.
:09:14
That's the way I am, Dax.
:09:16
I can't understand these armchair officers.
:09:19
Fellas trying to fight a war from behind
a desk. Waving papers at the enemy!
:09:23
Worrying whether a mouse is
going to run up their pants leg.
:09:26
If I had the choice between mice and
Mausers, I'd take the mice every time.
:09:31
You'll never make me believe that.
Seriously, though,
:09:34
if a man's a ninny, let him put on
a dress and hide under the bed.
:09:38
But if he wants to be a soldier,
then he's got to be one.
:09:41
He's got to fight, and he can't do that
unless he's where the fighting is.
:09:45
- That's my credo.
- I think I have to agree with you,
:09:48
presenting your case so convincingly, sir.
:09:51
- I imagine you'd like a look around.
- Yes, Colonel.
:09:55
Here's something to see - the Ant Hill.
:09:57
It's as good a view as you can get
without being there.
:10:00
That won't be long now, will it?
:10:07
(General) Hm. Yeah.
:10:10
Well, I've seen much more formidable
objectives. Much, much worse.
:10:21
Not something we can grab and run
away with, but certainly pregnable.
:10:26
- Sounds kind of odd, though.
- Why?
:10:29
- Like something to do with giving birth.
- Oh, yes. Quite.
:10:33
You're right on your toes this morning.
Even sharper than usual.
:10:36
We mustn't forget the colonel was the
foremost criminal lawyer in all France.
:10:41
Gentlemen, you're both much too kind.
:10:44
Colonel, how did your relief
come off last night?
:10:47
We drew some artillery. 29 casualties, sir.
:10:50
Yes, noticed it on the road in.
utterly inex cusable. Stupid.
:10:54
All swarmed together like flies,
waiting for someone to swat them.
:10:58
They never learn. They get in a tight spot
under heavy fire, gang up every time.
