:26:01
He's late, isn't he?
:26:02
A little. I don't mind, sir.
:26:04
I do. Tell him I'll require him for duty
the next three nights.
:26:22
My dearest Tom...
:26:29
Come in.
:26:32
Thought you might like some tea, sir...
:26:35
since you won't take any rest.
:26:36
What are you doing here?
You're off duty.
:26:40
Third Officer Simpson's down with flu.
:26:41
I'm just filling in.
:26:43
Oh, thank you. Would you file that
for me, please?
:26:47
There's an air raid going on up top.
:26:49
Bad one?
:26:51
No, not very.
:26:53
Won't your family be worried about you?
:26:55
I have no family here.
:26:57
My father lives in Canada now.
:27:00
I thought that surely you must
be married or something.
:27:03
No, sir. Nothing at all.
:27:05
Doesn't that seem odd...
:27:07
if you don't mind my saying so?
:27:09
I was going to be married last year...
:27:11
but...it didn't work out.
:27:13
His fault or yours?
:27:14
He was at Dunkirk...
:27:16
and he was listed as missing in action.
:27:19
It was just a year ago...
:27:21
a year ago next week.
:27:24
He was a rather wonderful man...
:27:27
not brilliant or dashing
or anything like that...
:27:30
but just rather wonderful.
:27:37
I'm sorry.
:27:39
I think it helps to
talk about these things...
:27:42
don't you, sir?
:27:43
No, I don't.
I don't think it helps at all.
:27:47
Getting emotional about things...
:27:48
is a peacetime luxury.
:27:50
In wartime, it's much too painful.
:27:51
You can't turn off your emotions...
:27:53
just because there's a war on.
:27:55
You can't do anything
about your feelings.
:27:58
Yes, you can.
:27:59
