And officers will work as well as men.
:12:08
The Japanese Army cannot
have idle mouths to feed.

:12:14
If you work hard,
you will be treated well.

:12:19
But if you do not work hard...
:12:21
...you will be punished.
:12:25
A word to you about escape.
:12:29
There is no barbed wire.
:12:33
No stockade.
:12:35
No watchtower.
:12:37
They are not necessary.
:12:40
We are an island in the jungle.
:12:42
Escape is impossible.
:12:46
You would die.
:12:50
Today you rest.
Tomorrow you'll begin.

:12:56
Let me remind you of
General Yamashita's motto:

Battalion, stand at ease.

Fall out, Major Hughes.
:13:18
Battalion, stand easy.
:13:21
Hughes, get the men to their quarters.

I'm going to have a word
with this fellow.

:13:31
I heard your remarks just now, sir.
:13:34
My men will carry on in the way

:13:37
My officers and I
will be responsible for their conduct.

:13:41
You may have overlooked the fact
that the use of officers for labour...

:13:45
...is expressly forbidden
by the Geneva Convention.

:13:48
Is that so?
:13:49
I have a copy of the convention...
:13:51
...and would be glad to
let you glance through it.

:13:54
That will not be necessary.
