1:32:01
But Queen Victoria's
dead! It's out of date!

1:32:04
What kind of a soldier are you?
1:32:05
- I'm a live one unless Williams
has got other plans for me.

1:32:08
Discipline! The army's run on discipline!
1:32:11
I'm a regular soldier because I couldn't
get a bloody job in civvy street.

1:32:14
But I was a good toy clockwork
soldier just like you are.

1:32:17
You throw an order at me and I could pick
it up like a dog picks up a bone.

1:32:21
On your feet and you listen!
- No, you listen!

1:32:24
Three bloody years in the desert,
and people are just fighting to get underpaid,

1:32:26
damn, and that's what we are!
1:32:27
Treason! You're talking treason!
- Right!

1:32:29
Get on your feet!
- Treason, okay, treason...

1:32:33
That's Para. 531 Section 7:
1:32:37
Any person committing any
traitorous or, eh,

1:32:41
mutinous practice may be, eh,
sentenced to penal servitude

1:32:45
for the term of his natural life.
1:32:46
- So you claim.*
- Life!

1:32:48
Alright, all I know is that I can't do
things that don't make sense to me any more.

1:32:52
You can! You can
still live by the book.

1:32:54
But it's out of date,
it's stupid and out of date!

1:32:56
So you quit, eh? Glass house,
permanent for the rest of the war?

1:33:00
- Right!
- You'd sign away our bloody empire?

1:33:03
- Yes! Give it to Jacko,
maybe he can use it.

1:33:05
- To the niggers? They
couldn't run a knocking shop!

1:33:07
- Right.
1:33:08
On your feet. Stand up
and stand still or I'll...

1:33:13
What's the charge?
Failing to obey an order?

1:33:17
Oh no, drunk in charge
of a cigarette lighter?

1:33:20
Oh you crazy bastard.
1:33:22
You'd prop up dead men and
inspect them if you was ordered to!

1:33:25
Right! You're right!
1:33:30
Keep those men on the move!
1:33:35
You used to be an NCO.
You used to be a soldier.

1:33:37
You've forgotton.
Now I'm gonna teach you.

1:33:40
Teach you from the beginning.
1:33:42
I'll make you into something
the army can be proud of.

1:33:44
You'll double, drill,
do any damn I tell you.

1:33:48
Roberts, you'll be lost, lost!
1:33:51
unless somebody's shouting an order at you!
1:33:54
Staff!
- Sir!
