Major Barrow? I remember him.
He lectured at Sandhurst.

:07:04
He's a stickler for detail,
but a marvelous lecturer.

:07:06
He was out east.
He's an expert on jungle warfare.

:07:09
Half his family were colonels here.
:07:13
Well, he —
He's really quite all right.

:07:16
I mean, he's —
he's frightfully bright upstairs.

:07:18
Aye, he's a great success...
:07:21
as a lecturer.
:07:23
Quite a turn with the cadets.
:07:27
Colonel Barrow, Eton and Oxford,
joined the regiment in 1933.

:07:32
He was only with it a year or two
before being posted on special duties.

:07:35
It's as Simpson says.
He's bright upstairs.

:07:42
That's his, uh,
granddad's ugly mug...

:07:46
hangs halfway along the hall there.
:07:49
Aye, I know all about him,
you see that.

:07:53
Well, he's to command the battalion.
And I'll have another dram.

:07:58
- What about you —
- Aye, and what about me, china?

:08:01
- Are you staying on?
- Unless you're gonna get rid of me, Jimmy.

:08:04
I thought there might have been a chance of it.
:08:08
Staying on as second in command,
you mean?

:08:11
So may it please you,
Captain Simpson.

:08:14
- I'm glad you're not leaving us, sir.
- Thank you, Eric.

:08:18
- And, Eric.
- Yes, sir?

:08:20
No "sirs" in the mess.
:08:22
Christian names, except for me,
and I'm Colonel.

:08:27
I call you what I like. Understood?
:08:30
Yes, Colonel.
:08:33
"Yes, Colonel."
:08:36
Go on, Charlie.
We'll go through the way.

:08:40
Jock's last day.
:08:42
Well, gentlemen, we'll have
a round of drinks on Jock. Corporal.

:08:45
- Sir?
- Whiskey for the gentlemen that like it...

:08:48
and for the gentlemen
that don't like it...

:08:50
whiskey.
:08:52
I'm no use at talking
at my best of times, Charlie...

:08:54
but tonight, I'm no coping at all.
:08:57
- Will we have the pipers back?
- Your night, old boy.

:08:59
Aye, my night.
Old boy. Old boy. Old boy.
