:13:01
That it was the last refuge of a scoundrel,
sir. I'm sorry, I meant nothing personal.
:13:06
You're tired, Dax. You're very tired.
:13:09
It's you who is exhausted, not your men.
:13:12
And it's my fault. I've given you
one impossible task after another.
:13:15
- You need rest.
- I haven't said...
:13:17
You never would, so you aren't
going to have any say-so about it.
:13:21
As from now, I'm ordering you
on indefinite furlough.
:13:23
General, you can't do that to me.
:13:26
Not to you, Dax. For you.
:13:28
- For your good and the good of your men.
- The good of my men, sir?
:13:31
If a commanding officer lacks confidence,
what can we expect of his men?
:13:35
I don't want to relieve you, but
I must have your enthusiastic support.
:13:39
Not once have you said
that your men can take the Ant Hill.
:13:44
We'll take the Ant Hill.
:13:48
If any soldiers in the world can take it,
:13:51
we'll take the Ant Hill.
:13:54
And when you do, your men will
be relieved and get a long rest.
:14:12
Corporal Paris and Private Lejeune
reporting, sir.
:14:15
- You took your time.
- We prepared as quick as we could, sir.
:14:18
- We had to alert the sentries.
- All right. You men at ease.
:14:22
This is a reconnaissance patrol.
German wire,
:14:25
machine-gun posts,
identification of bodies.
:14:28
There will only be the three of us.
We're to avoid a fight if we can.
:14:31
(clears throat)
:14:33
We go out to the left and we come
back through post six on the right.
:14:36
- Is it all clear at post six?
- All the sentries have been warned.
:14:40
Number six will send up flares
at 10-minute intervals.
:14:43
- I wanted them every five minutes.
- I know. The sergeant says it's too much.
:14:48
- He says it will draw artillery.
- He's some strategist. What's his name?
:14:52
I don't know, sir.
:14:55
All right. You men wait outside.
I'll join you in a minute.
:14:58
Would you mind telling us the password?
