-Orderly.
-Yes?

:46:11
Get the corpse detail
to take Sgt. Masters' bed.

:46:15
Capt. Daven's will be free too.
But don't let them take the boots.

:46:20
Yes, sir. What about Col. Hutton?
Do l give him quinine?

:46:23
-Of course give him quinine.
-Well, l'm sorry. Just asking.

:46:27
Only doctors authorize drugs.
:46:29
Give him quinine and stop pretending
you're Florence Nightingale.

:46:47
There are two appendectomies
for tomorrow morning.

:46:50
Right.
l'll see them before l go off.

:46:52
-Do you want me to do them?
-No, l will.

:46:55
-Evening, doctor.
-Hello, Stevie.

:47:01
By the way, l finished the autopsy
on the man found in the borehole.

:47:06
Death was from suffocation.
:47:08
lf you find a man headfirst
down a borehole...

:47:11
-...death will likely be from suffocation.
-Yes.

:47:14
Well, l wrote....
l put on the death certificate:

:47:18
''Suicide while the balance
of the mind was disturbed.''

:47:23
-Do you want that?
-Oh, thank you, sir.

:47:27
Have they identified the body?
:47:30
Yes. lt was a Pvt. Gurble.
Unusual name.

:47:34
-Not the way l'd choose for suicide.
-No.

:47:38
-Unless, of course, he was put there.
-Oh?

:47:40
-Why do you say that?
-Well, they held a court of inquiry.

:47:44
-He'd been caught stealing rations.
-l see.

:47:48
Either way, murder or suicide,
l'd say he deserved it, wouldn't you?

:47:54
Yes, l suppose so.
:47:56
-l'd better go and finish my rounds.
-Yes. Well, good night, colonel.
