:58:00
It read "Do not be afraid to ask for credit
for our way of refusing is very polite."
:58:05
- Come on, Arnaud. You're drunk.
- Oh, Paris, leave me alone.
:58:09
Get out of here with
your sanctimonious pat answers!
:58:12
- Are you here to torture us?!
- No, to help you with all my power.
:58:15
You have no power!
:58:17
- God has power.
- Does he? What a laugh!
:58:20
- You can be saved.
- Saved? I'll be saved?
:58:25
Cut it out, Arnaud!
:58:28
Arnaud!
:58:31
Arnaud.
:58:38
Father, get a doctor. Quick.
:58:49
That should keep him quiet long enough.
:58:51
That's a nasty skull fracture.
He may not last the night.
:58:54
- What are we supposed to do with him?
- You can tie him to a stretcher
:58:58
so you can tilt him vertically.
:59:00
Surely they won't execute
a man in that condition?
:59:03
I'm sorry, Father. The sentence will be
carried out. I checked with the general.
:59:07
If he's alive in the morning,
pinch his cheeks before you take him out.
:59:11
It may open his eyes.
The general wants him conscious.
:59:15
- (knocking)
- Yes?
:59:19
- Lieutenant Roget reporting, sir.
- Come in.
:59:23
Sergeant Boulanger
said you wanted to see me, sir.
:59:26
Yes, Lieutenant. Looks as if we have
a pretty unpleasant thing on our hands.
:59:31
- You mean the execution, sir.
- Yes, I mean the execution.
:59:34
- Yes, sir. It's very unfortunate.
- "Very unfortunate."
:59:37
- That's just how I feel about it.
- None of us are happy about it, sir.
:59:41
How did you happen
to pick Corporal Paris?
:59:44
Well, I had to pick somebody, sir.
:59:47
Yes, you did. You had no personal
motive in picking Paris, did you?
:59:50
Oh, no, sir.
:59:52
You picked him because
he was a coward, didn't you?
:59:57
Did you or didn't you?
:59:59
Oh, yes, sir, I did.
