:42:00
That's why I want to leave for Algeria.
:42:02
- You didn't put in a request for me, sir?
- It's on a volunteer basis.
:42:06
- So, I'm a volunteer.
- Good.
:42:07
The outfit won't be the same
without the old sergeant, Colonel.
:42:11
- You'd leave all these bottles?
- I never touch it anymore, sir.
:42:14
Just an occasional glass with dinner.
:42:18
Here he is.
:42:21
Hey, Esclavier. Come on, sit down.
:42:24
Just got the wire
when I stopped by for the mail.
:42:27
Hello.
:42:28
I also heard about your command.
:42:30
- Congratulations.
- Thanks to your report. Sit.
:42:33
What are you doing nowadays?
:42:35
- I might work at a newspaper in Lyons.
- Good.
:42:38
You're going to fight for our way of life
behind a desk?
:42:41
No. I'm going to fight for bigger and better
refrigerators and washing machines.
:42:45
- Those girls at the office are exhausting.
- So.
:42:49
Yes. I'd like to take a little vacation
with you in Algeria.
:42:53
- You're on.
- Thank you.
:42:55
All the boys have joined up.
:42:56
Would you like to make it unanimous?
:42:59
The way I see it, professional soldiers,
stay in the army for personal reasons.
:43:05
Well, you got that off your chest. So?
:43:09
I'd like to know what I'm fighting for.
:43:11
Not just fighting for the sake of fighting.
:43:15
Sure.
:43:16
By the way, Dia is joining us in Algiers.
:43:19
I sent Mahidi a wire. He didn't answer.
:43:21
As soon as Esclavier leaves,
I'll tell you the way I see the new outfit.
:43:41
Hey!
:43:48
I hate to say it, but I need you.
:43:54
You get no special treatment.
:43:56
I'm asking you to come along as a fighter,
not a historian.
