Good evening, my sons. I'm Father Dupré.
:56:12
Is there any news?
:56:14
I'm afraid I bring you very bad news. You
must prepare yourselves for the worst.
:56:18
- Colonel Dax asked me to tell you.
- Oh, mercy, no!
:56:21
He's been in telephone contact
with army headquarters,
:56:23
but unable to speak to General Broulard
or to anyone in authority.
:56:27
The same way at Division.
No one wants to be found.
:56:30
- How much time do we have?
- You have plenty.
:56:33
Certainly more than enough
to prepare yourselves.
:56:36
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti.
:56:41
Amen.
:56:43
(Ferol prays)
:56:52
- Father, will you take this letter for me?
- Of course, my son.
:56:55
It's to my wife. She won't understand
this, and I tried to explain it to her.
:56:59
I'll see that she gets it.
Do you want me to hear your confession?
:57:04
Well, Father, to tell you the truth,
I'm not very religious.
:57:08
I know you're trying to help
and I appreciate it,
:57:10
but if I started praying now
I'd feel like a hypocrite.
:57:13
That's an error, my son. God is
always ready to listen to your prayers.
:57:21
All right, Father.
Will you please hear my confession now?
:57:24
Yes.
:57:26
Have faith in your Creator, my son.
Death comes to us all.
:57:31
The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
:57:33
That's really deep. "Death
comes to us all". That really is deep.
:57:38
Ferol, what's the matter?
Afraid your luck won't hold out?
:57:42
This is my religion.
O great bottle, forgive me my sins,
:57:45
for now I lay me down to sleep.
May I drink you first? Thank you. Amen.
:57:49
I understand your anguish, my son,
but you must not let it harden your heart.
:57:53
May I tell you something, Father?
:57:55
Back in my home town, there was a café
with an amusing sign over the bar.
