:21:02
A sneaky, booze-guzzling,
yellow-bellied rat

:21:05
with a bottle for a brain
and a streak of spit...

:21:08
- That's enough, Corporal.
- You've got yourself into a mess.

:21:12
I have, have I?
You've got yourself in a worse one.

:21:14
First, general insubordination.
Second, threatening your superior officer.

:21:19
Third, refusing to obey an order
and inciting others to do the same.

:21:23
How do you think those charges
will look on paper?

:21:26
Not half as bad as these:
:21:28
endangering the lives of your men
through recklessness, drunk on duty,

:21:33
wanton murder of one of your own men,
:21:35
and cowardice in the face of the enemy.
:21:40
Phillip, have you ever tried to bring
charges against an officer?

:21:44
It's my word against yours, you know.
:21:47
Whose word do you think
they're gonna believe?

:21:50
Let me put it another way. Whose word
do you think they're going to accept?

:21:54
Now, I'll tell you what I'm willing to do.
:21:56
So far, all I have written in this report
:21:59
is that you and Lejeune
were killed while out on patrol.

:22:03
I'll make it read
that you made your way back

:22:05
after getting separated in the skirmish.
:22:07
- That'll end the matter...
- You killed Lejeune.

:22:10
I'm sorry. It was an accident.
:22:12
I'd give anything in the world
if it hadn't had happened.

:22:15
Honestly, I know you don't like me, but
what kind of a man do you think I am?

:22:21
- Oh, good morning, Colonel.
- At ease, men.

:22:24
- I've been waiting for your report.
- We found out a thing or two.

:22:27
- Everything go well?
- No, sir. Private Lejeune was killed.

:22:31
- How did it happen?
- It's in the report.

:22:33
- Let's have it.
- It isn't quite finished yet, sir.

:22:36
That's all, Corporal. You did
a good night's work. Should feel proud.

:22:40
- Go get some sleep.
- Yes, sir.

:22:47
- How did you lose Lejeune?
- Machine-gun fire, sir.

:22:50
He coughed. Almost got us all killed.
:22:54
Finish that report
and get it to me immediately.

:22:57
Yes, sir.
