:25:02
Well, we'll complete this later.
:25:05
-Clipton, we're facing a crisis.
-Yes, sir?

:25:09
I spoke with Reeves and Hughes.
We can't finish the bridge on time.

:25:14
We haven't the manpower.
:25:15
I've asked the officers to help,
but that won't do it.

:25:19
The officers are working?
:25:20
l explained the situation and they
volunteered, but it's not enough.

:25:24
Why not ask Saito for some men?
:25:26
This is ours. We'll make the most
of our resources.

:25:29
That's why I came to talk to you.
The sick list.

:25:32
There's not a man in this hospital
who doesn't belong there.

:25:36
It's no reflection on you, but
there are always a few malingerers.

:25:41
Keep an open mind, that's all I ask.
:25:44
Come along, let's see.
:25:47
Don't move, don't move.
:25:52
What's wrong with Haskins?
:25:54
Amoebic dysentery and black
water fever. Temperature of 104.

:25:58
Right. I see.
:26:02
And this man?
:26:03
Leg ulcers. I may be able to save it
if I do more cutting tonight.

:26:07
Want to send him out to work?
:26:10
Don't talk rot, Clipton.
:26:16
That man there?
:26:17
His arm's infected.
:26:18
Most of their wounds
won't heal properly.

:26:21
I wonder if fresh air and light duties
might do more than being cooped up.

:26:26
-Light duties?
-lt's not our policy to keep a man...

:26:29
-...just because he scratched his arm.
-Not our policy?

:26:33
A man may not be on top of his form,
but he can still be useful.

:26:37
Trimmings and finishing jobs.
Stand easy, Baker.

:26:40
Do you feel up to doing
a little light work on the bridge?

:26:45
-Anything you say, sir.
-Good show.

:26:49
You? Nothing difficult.
:26:51
-I'll try, sir.
-Good man.

:26:55
Look here, men. It goes without
saying that l'm proud of all of you.
