:25:00
in tam-o'- shanters
improperly dressed.
:25:02
- Take their names.
- Sir.
:25:08
- Colonel, there's a tradition here
- I'm all in favor of good traditions.
:25:12
I've always let the pipers wear pretty well
what they please at band practice.
:25:15
Because you've let them wear
what they like, Jock...
:25:17
doesn't make it a tradition.
:25:21
Jimmy, I think we'd better tackle
some of that paperwork.
:25:39
Tired, Dusty?
:25:40
You know what the Barrow boy
made us do this morning?
:25:43
Double halfway back from the ranges
in full marching order.
:25:46
He's inspected "A" Company three times
in the last five days.
:25:49
Yes, it's been
a somewhat harassing two weeks, what?
:25:51
Typical of him. He's beginning
where he means to finish.
:25:53
Well, if he's finishing
on three inspections a week...
:25:56
I'm going after
the commissionaire's job at the Royal.
:25:58
You wouldn't get it, Dusty.
You'd have to keep your buttons clean.
:26:01
Well, what's he want us for anyway?
I've got better things to do
:26:04
Gentlemen.
:26:08
Sit down, please.
:26:10
- All here, Jimmy?
- All present, sir.
:26:16
Major Sinclair?
:26:19
- Why
- He's not been in, Colonel.
:26:21
I didn't think the order
affected him, sir.
:26:24
I see.
:26:35
Well, gentlemen...
:26:37
I've only got two announcements
to make this afternoon...
:26:40
one perhaps a little less popular
than the other.
:26:44
When I came here as a subleton,
the social responsibilities of an officer...
:26:48
greatly outweighed his military duties.
:26:50
Now, this was quite common
before the war...
:26:52
and the last thing I want to do
is to reestablish that order.
:26:54
Hear! Hear!
:26:56
We are first and foremost soldiers...
:26:59
and the greater part of our energies
must naturally be devoted to training.
