:53:00
Try to understand. I'm not
your enemy. I'm here to defend you.
:53:05
I have to know the whole truth.
:53:07
You stole that sheep?
:53:09
An exchange, sir! Paid in full.
:53:12
A 5-franc piece'
2 packs of tobacco... and premium!
:53:16
And a cooked hen.
:53:17
The farmer claims
the hen was stolen, too.
:53:20
But I paid him back!
And I mean: Cooked!
:53:23
Even the bones were cooked.
:53:26
Anyway, the sheep
was no bigger than a puppy.
:53:30
And there were 7 of us!
:53:32
Why is it only me that cops it?
:53:37
You fought at the Marne?
:53:39
I'm a walking injustice.
:53:43
You're next, Slimane.
:53:45
He may turn out okay after all.
:53:48
Slimane's story is simple.
I heard him at length.
:53:53
At the station in Videle'
:53:55
his chief, Captain De Jussieu
- whom he reveres -
:53:59
used the stopover to have him
post some letters.
:54:04
He accomplished his task'
but on the way back'
:54:07
he met some tribesmen, cousins'
:54:11
who talked about home'
which he longs for.
:54:14
Time, for these desert dwellers'
is not like time for us.
:54:18
Did 10 minutes go by
- as he thought - or 20, 30?
:54:21
So he returned to the station
serenely.
:54:24
The train ready to go.
He jumped blithely aboard.
:54:28
But it wasn't the same train!
:54:31
They were changed...
:54:33
without delay, for once!
:54:36
Suddenly, he's headed for Tîrgu Jiu'
in the Carpathians'
:54:41
125 miles from his regiment and
chief, not speaking the language.
:54:51
One more! The Arab'll get off.
:54:53
The Lieutenant...
had 'em all in stitches.
:54:57
So, you nasty piece of work...
you gave it to 'em good.
