:46:00
Blackie! Blackie!
:46:02
Look at him! He worked on that cake
like no one else I've ever known.

:46:06
Some nights it was so cold
we could hardly move...

:46:08
but Blackitt'd be slicing the lemons,
mixing the sugar and the almonds.

:46:12
I mean, you try getting butter to melt
at 15 degrees below zero.

:46:16
There's love in that cake.
This man's love and this man's care...

:46:23
- Oh, my Christ!
- You bastard.

:46:28
All right, we will eat the cake.
:46:30
They're right. It's too good a cake not to eat.
:46:34
- Get the plates and knives, Walters.
- Yes, sir. How many?

:46:37
Six.
:46:39
Better make it five.
:46:41
- Tablecloth, sir?
- Yes, get the tablecloth.

:46:46
No, no, I'll get the tablecloth.
:46:48
You better get the gate-leg table, Hordern.
:46:50
- And the little lamp, sir?
- Yes.

:46:53
While you're at it,
you'd better get a doily.

:46:55
I'll bring two
in case one gets crumpled.

:46:57
Okay!
:47:02
But, of course, warfare isn't all fun.
Right. Stop that.

:47:05
It's all very well to laugh at the military,
but when one considers...

:47:09
the meaning of life, it's a struggle
between alternative viewpoints of life.

:47:13
Without the ability to defend
one's own viewpoint...

:47:16
against other more aggressive ideologies...
:47:18
then reasonableness and
moderation could quite simply disappear.

:47:22
That is why we'll always need an army.
:47:25
May God strike me down
were it to be otherwise.

:47:32
Don't stand there gawping...
:47:34
like you've never seen
the hand of God before!

:47:37
Now, today we're going to do
marching up and down the square.

:47:41
That is, unless any of you've got
anything better to do.

:47:45
Well?
:47:48
Anyone got anything
they'd rather be doing...

:47:50
than marchin' up and down the square?
:47:55
Yes! Atkinson.
