"French Break Communist Siege. "
:39:07
They didn't use much, did they?
:39:10
Nothing here about
the villagers that were killed.
:39:13
What did the French papers say?
:39:15
Headlines blame it on the communists,
of course.
:39:18
Well, a month is a month.
:39:22
What else can you tell me
about this General Thé?
:39:28
He's set himself up against both
the French and the communists.
:39:34
Do you think he'd give me an interview
if I went up there?
:39:38
Difficult to say.
:39:40
Perhaps if he thought
he could get his message across.
:39:43
The problem would be
getting it past the censor.
:39:46
No, the real problem would be
to get close to the Cambodian border
:39:49
and back before dark.
:39:51
The communists control that road at night.
:39:54
So many Europeans
have been killed out there.

I am Thomas Fowler of the London Times
:40:12
and I'm here to interview General Thé.
:40:18
I'm Thomas Fowler of the London Times.
:40:21
I'm here to see General Thé.
:40:34
September, October, November...
:40:38
I'd seen Pyle only once since
he'd asked Phuong to marry him,
:40:42
at the Continental.
:40:44
He'd been polite, of course -
:40:46
how was I, how was Phuong?
:40:49
He'd been busy, he said, out of the city,
:40:52
working on his medical programme.
:40:55
Though somehow,
I wasn't surprised to see him.
:40:58
I was surprised to be pleased to see him.
