If you do it well, you need never
hang around on street corners again.

:15:05
You can go away and do stirring things.
Would you like that?

:15:09
Oh, sir.
:15:12
Sir, I'd give my right arm and leg.
:15:15
It's not you, sir.
I'm not bored with you. I love you.

:15:21
In a strict metaphorical way
of speaking, as it were.

:15:24
I'd give them my arm and leg.
Damn sporting of you, sir.

:15:31
The lads will be chuffed.
:15:33
I gulped.
:15:36
I used to gulp like a fish
every time a general touched me.

:15:39
One time, when I was a subaltern...
Nice eyes.

:15:42
We are exchanging bubblegum cards.
We are staff officers.

:15:48
- Have you got Dunkirk?
- Toby's got Dunkirk.

:15:51
There's a lot of Dunkirk about.
Ghastly colours.

:15:54
- I do a bit of Sunday painting myself.
- I want School Bombing.

:15:58
- We know what you want, Toby.
- I want School Bombing.

:16:01
Not much doubt about morale here, eh?
:16:04
It's funny when the killing starts.
Some of them don't like it.

:16:08
That's where you come in. I want you
to set up an advanced area cricket pitch.

:16:12
Did you think you can do that?
Can you read a map?

:16:15
239451 or thereabouts, near an oasis.
:16:18
Get some grass if you can.
Doesn't matter if you can't.

:16:21
I want it first class,
and I want it in September.

:16:25
That means you have three days from
the time you land behind enemy lines.

:16:29
It's got to be a good pitch because
a very important bod is going to see it.

:16:34
- How much is she?
- Does she take bully beef?

:16:37
He's going to come up out
of the torment of the noblest of games

:16:41
and hear the sharp click
of leather on willow.

:16:43
Ah, with his weary soldier boys.
That'll show them, bring their tails up.

:16:48
Show this very important bod just how
high the British soldier can get his tail.

:16:59
Yes, I want it first class and in three days.
That doesn't give you much time.
