Now.
:54:07
Take this bridge of yours.
:54:09
It's quite an enormous undertaking.
:54:12
Frankly, I doubt whether
your Lieutenant what's-his-name...

:54:16
Miura.
:54:19
...is capable of tackling
a job of such importance.

:54:23
On the other hand, I have officers,
Reeves and Hughes for instance...

:54:28
...who have built bridges
all over India.

:54:33
The men respect them.
:54:34
It's essential for an officer
to have that respect.

:54:38
If it's gone, he ceases to command.
:54:40
What then?
Demoralization and chaos.

:54:43
A poor commander I would be if
l allowed that to happen.

:54:47
Perhaps you are not aware that
the bridge is now under my command.

:54:52
Really? And may I ask, are you
satisfied with the work?

:54:56
-l am not!
-You've proved my point.

:54:58
l hate the British!
:55:00
You are defeated
but you have no shame.

:55:04
You are stubborn
but have no pride.

:55:06
You endure
but you have no courage.

:55:09
l hate the British!
:55:12
Pointless, going on like this.
:55:14
Stay there!
