:52:00
But officers are working
along the entire railway.

:52:04
You know it. I know it.
:52:06
I'm not responsible
for other officers.

:52:09
Personally, I'm appalled.
:52:11
Let's not get excited.
:52:18
Will you have a cigar?
:52:20
No. Thank you.
:52:24
When I said all officers must work...
:52:27
...naturally, I never meant you,
the commanding officer.

:52:31
My orders were only intended
for officers below--

:52:35
No officers will do manual labour.
:52:37
Please! I was about to say:
:52:41
I've thought the matter over
and have decided...

:52:44
...to put majors and above
on administrative duties...

:52:49
...leaving only junior officers
to work.

:52:52
No. The Convention's
quite clear on that point.

:53:08
Do you know what will happen to me
if the bridge is not ready in time?

:53:13
l haven't the foggiest.
:53:15
I'd have to kill myself.
:53:18
What would you do if you were me?
:53:21
l suppose if I were you...
:53:24
...I'd have to kill myself.
:53:28
Cheers.
:53:30
l warn you, colonel...
:53:33
...if I am to die,
others will die before me.

:53:38
Do you understand?
:53:39
Clipton did mention that.
:53:42
That won't solve your problem.
:53:44
I'm sure we can
arrive at a solution.

:53:47
Please sit down.
:53:52
Now. Tell me, colonel...
:53:55
...do you agree that the first job
of an officer is command?

:53:59
-Of course.
-Good.
