1:23:02
It's not for a company commander
to judge. Theirs not to reason why.
1:23:05
There's a worid of difference
between strength and obstinacy.
1:23:09
I didn't want to take action just for the sake
of showing it was in my power to do so.
1:23:14
In a way,
commanding a battalion is a...
1:23:17
question of compromise,
keeping a team together.
1:23:19
Oh, absolutely.
1:23:21
Aye, he's hoisted
on his own petard. Good old Jock.!
1:23:26
It sounds as though
it's a popular idea anyway, Colonel.
1:23:28
Do you think I made it
for my popularity?
1:23:32
Do you really think
that's why I made this decision?
1:23:34
My dear colonel, we didn't know
you'd made any decision.
1:23:37
But... you must have heard
the matter's not to go to brigade.
1:23:40
- Yes, we heard that.
- Well?
1:23:42
But we thought that was Jock's decision.
Why, my dear fellow...
1:23:46
we didn't even realize
you were there.
1:23:52
In my own humdrum life,
I frequently flunked...
1:23:55
doing something
which I ought to do...
1:23:57
told myself after,
the reason I hesitated...
1:24:00
was for... humanity or loyalty
or even Christianity.
1:24:04
Not very dignified.
1:24:06
One would have hoped a colonel
would be older than that.
1:24:12
You really mustn't get
so upset, Colonel.
1:24:15
Jock's in a sweat
of loyal affection through there.
1:24:19
Why not go back and join
the rest of his cronies?
1:24:21
He'll give you a great welcome,
I'm sure.
