0:10:10 > 0:10:18Well?
0:10:11 > 0:10:18If he picked up your haircut, he couldn't run you in on anything else.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22We Irish hang together, sir.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22They could hang a few more of you.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46Shh! That's heresy.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's the lack of privacy I hate most.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Me, too, but I don't ask much now.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Funny how your wants seem to shrink. All I ask is I avoid the RSM.
0:10:56 > 0:11:03And to scrape past inspection.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03And that nobody treads on my toecap and spoils it. A simple taste.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08Take that off and let's go over to the NAAFI. You think we need caps?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12It isn't far and it's dark.

0:11:12 > 0:11:18WHERE ARE YOUR CAPS?! NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN ALL MY LIFE! >
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Did they pass their inspection?
0:11:28 > 0:11:33Yes, sir.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33They can walk out tonight.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Sir!
0:11:33 > 0:11:37You two. Am I hurting you by any chance?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Am I hurting you?
0:11:44 > 0:11:50You're not hurting me, sir.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50I should be cos I'm standing on your back hair.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53GET IT CUT! BOTH OF YOU!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Soldiers!

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I'd like to have knocked that umpire's block off.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37What's it matter? It's only a game.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43You British don't give a damn who wins just so you get a game!
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I'm so mad to win I'm cheating.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46If you didn't we might do better.
0:13:46 > 0:13:53Quiet. You mashed up the best hand of the evening.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53Your breath was whistling so loudly through all that hair it put me off.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58The last three are good. We're just in. Say thank you.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Whose deal is it?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01His lordship's, I think.

0:21:10 > 0:21:18Why didn't you phone me?
0:21:13 > 0:21:18I suddenly got 48 hours' leave and a lift to London.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Is this the last?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm Philip Hamilton, sir.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25Wilhelmina's got terrible manners but I'm fond of her.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Hi. I'm Joe Benson. So are we.
0:21:25 > 0:21:32I'm just so excited. This is David Morgan - Johnny, Bill and Spike. That's the lot.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Is my wife running a gambling den?
0:21:35 > 0:21:41I guess so. I never knew rummy could be so expensive - I've lost four shillings!
0:21:41 > 0:21:46Would you like a sandwich? Joe, will you help me?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Anything you say.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I suppose you're up at the new camp.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Lucky guys. We're all under canvas.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Mrs Hamilton lets us have a hot bath here.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00I'm glad.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00She's swell.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00All this confirms what I've heard.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We must go and help her. Excuse us.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Let me do that. You'll hurt yourself.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I did take part in a raid over Tokyo
0:22:06 > 0:22:11The way you handle a can opener it's a wonder you survived.
0:22:11 > 0:22:18I get scared just looking at that thing. Give me Tokyo any day.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Two knives, please. And a tray.
0:22:18 > 0:22:24- Domestically, you Americans show up my Englishman, and it's- his- home!
0:22:24 > 0:22:27He keeps remembering it's his castle.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32The Lieutenant's doing all right.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32He's American.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Where are you from?
0:22:32 > 0:22:37New York, sir.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37I'd take you for an Englishman any day.
0:22:38 > 0:22:46Work that one out, David.
0:22:40 > 0:22:46When an Englishman says that it's an insult because he says it with a condescending air.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52But when an American says it...
0:22:48 > 0:22:52It's a compliment. Take it from me.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57You ought to know. After all, you're a general.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03Will you be here, Mr Morgan, when we get back?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I hope so. Goodbye.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Will you collect beetles with me?
0:23:03 > 0:23:10Yes.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10Hop it. You'll be late for the match.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Off you go.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10< Bye.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- < Bye.- Goodbye, Nicholas, Jeremy.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Sweet kids.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14My contribution - heredity.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Gluttonous brute.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17(WELSH): That was a good scoff.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23(WELSH): It was indeed to goodness, Dai bach.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23(WELSH): I ask leave to speak. Is Dai the same as David?
0:23:23 > 0:23:30Aye, it is. >
0:23:24 > 0:23:30Thank you, Waci.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30You have picked up a lot.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Oh, we soldiers' wives, you know.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Why are you soldiers? Haven't you anything better to do?
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Darling, I'm so sorry. Your last day, too. I can't help it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Why are women such stupid, emotional creatures?!
0:23:54 > 0:23:56So sorry.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Cry as much as you like.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Our eyes are often red with weeping.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06Red with something anyway.
0:24:01 > 0:24:06Fools! Let's walk in the garden. The glorious first of June.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12"Nobly, nobly, Cape St Vincent. Something, something, died away."
0:24:12 > 0:24:15What will the invasion be like?
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Oh, my dear, the noise!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And the people!
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Funny. You see, a woman has no idea what it's like.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29All over England and America women like me paint the blackest pictures.
0:24:29 > 0:24:37Don't worry. The real soldiers go first.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37By the time we get there there'll be bathing machines on the beach.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Clown!
0:24:38 > 0:24:43That makes me want to swim. It's hot - but where?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Try swimming the Channel.
0:24:43 > 0:24:51Try the Witch's Pool in the wood.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51It's haunted.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51- It's haunted.- Nobody goes near it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Then I shall. Bless you, my children.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Bye.
0:24:55 > 0:25:02Philip.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02Yes?
0:24:57 > 0:25:02- Yes?- I'm sorry.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02What for?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02For making a fool of myself.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Darling, just keep on doing just that
0:25:15 > 0:25:21Oh, gosh, I...
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Go away!
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Sorry. Is this your pool?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24No, but go away. I want to get out.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Am I stopping you?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Yes.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Oh, are you the same as me?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33You really shouldn't.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Why did you, then?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I had no alternative. >
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I had no bathing suit and felt hot.
0:25:42 > 0:25:50What do you think you're doing?
0:25:44 > 0:25:50Swimming.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50I'm cold.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Swim, but keep away from me.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Why wouldn't I?
0:25:52 > 0:25:55One can't be too careful these days.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Are you going to get out?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I will if you spend the day with me.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05No.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Till nine o'clock anyway.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05No!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Pity.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13If I asked sweetly would you promise to turn your back for 30 seconds?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Please?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Please.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24One, two, three, four... Are you out yet?
0:26:22 > 0:26:24< Nearly ready.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27..10, 11, 12. And 12 - that's 24.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31By the way, are you a witch?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31No, but I was a Girl Guide. Why?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36This is the Witch's Pool, of course. 27, 28, 29, 30.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Don't cheat. 24, 25.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Six, seven, eight, nine, 30. 31, 32...
0:26:45 > 0:26:50I'm decent now.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Are you sure?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Yes. Why nine o'clock anyway?
0:26:51 > 0:26:55I don't want to intrude on my hosts and I'm bored.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58What an enthusiastic invitation.
0:27:00 > 0:27:05Doctor?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05No. I'm in the Red Cross. You're a publisher?
0:27:05 > 0:27:10Junior partner. We've a tie-up with a firm in London as well.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18What are you doing in England now?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18I've come over for... the invasion.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Are you going to bring out a book about it?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Yes, now that you suggest it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Are you a pacifist?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Most sensible people are.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40My brother was killed last Christmas trying to bomb the Tirpitz...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I'm sorry.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51..aged 19.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Very young. That must make it worse.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56It does - as far as pacifism is concerned.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00But one can still be polite about it.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I beg your pardon?
0:28:00 > 0:28:06I think you should though you obviously don't mean to.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06CLOCK CHIMES
0:28:03 > 0:28:06We managed to play out time.
0:28:06 > 0:28:13Thank you very much for your kindness. I said only until nine. Good night. I can find my way out.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Mr Morgan. Mr Morgan!
0:28:17 > 0:28:23Yes?
0:28:18 > 0:28:23I wish to apologise. You were at least a guest in our house.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28That is the most insincere apology I've ever heard.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33I really am sorry. You're to blame too. I don't know what it is.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40I've only known you a few hours and we're fighting as if we...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40As if we'd been married for 40 years.
0:28:40 > 0:28:46If you promise not to pick a brawl you can come back and have a drink.
0:28:46 > 0:28:54I must be at the Hamiltons' at 9.30.
0:28:48 > 0:28:54You can phone.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54No, they're sending a car from our battalion for us.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00I'm sorry. It sounds like I'm trying to score a cheap point.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05I'm glad I apologised before I found out.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I'm glad you did. Good night.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Good night.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Tell me one last thing.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Of course.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19How did you get that long, white scar in the middle of your back?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19A motor accident, but...
0:29:25 > 0:29:28(RADIO): "People of Western Europe...
0:29:28 > 0:29:34..a landing was made in France by troops of the Allied Expeditionary Force."
0:29:34 > 0:29:41"This landing is part of a concerted United Nations plan for the liberation of Europe."
0:29:41 > 0:29:45"I have this message for all of you. Although the initial assault..."
0:29:46 > 0:29:48GET ON WITH YOUR PAINTING!
0:29:53 > 0:29:56That sign is bad, Sergeant Major.
0:29:56 > 0:30:03Corporal O'Connor, if that sign is not put right immediately, your name will be put in the book.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Sir.
0:30:08 > 0:30:14There's a hell of a fight over there and Smoke O'Connor's painting signs.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Can you tell me why?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18Bull! That's what it is, Smoke.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24You're dead right.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24I can tell you why but it's a military secret.
0:30:25 > 0:30:32Top secret, I think. There will be a big inspection in a few days by a very important man.
0:30:32 > 0:30:39Even the officers don't know.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39Then how do you know about it?
0:30:34 > 0:30:39I was told it last night by a girl at the dance.
0:30:39 > 0:30:45MUSIC: "STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Come on, hurry up! Get in line. Careful where you go.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03All right, come on, get in line.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09All mine have made it all right.
0:31:04 > 0:31:09That's something.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09How long we here for, Bushey?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09If the weather's OK, we go tomorrow.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Thank heaven.
0:31:13 > 0:31:22MUSIC: "Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer"
0:31:29 > 0:31:35I'll go bolo if stop here another day. We've been here a week!
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Look, we're not going!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38All right. We know. Twist.
0:31:38 > 0:31:46We've had no letters for days.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Is this the girl who gave you such good information, Waci?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46No. I was thinking about my wife.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Oh, your wife?
0:31:49 > 0:31:55It's wives and not girls at dances that matter now. But I'm not married.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I don't know how it affects morale.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I'm happy with a few letters a week.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Snap!
0:32:02 > 0:32:07< Here comes Hindenburg.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Just back from BUCO. No move for 48 hours.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09The men at arms had permission to walk out.
0:32:09 > 0:32:15Still the weather?
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Yes. Last convoy hasn't been able to land for two days.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Is the battle going well?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Yes, but Monty wants more infantry.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Oh, Lord!
0:32:22 > 0:32:25Can David and I run over to my place?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28How will you get there? >
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Don't ask questions like that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31If you get caught, you answer for it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Leave a telephone number. We're here for 48 hours, probably a month.
0:32:35 > 0:32:42- My wife- would- live in Yorkshire! I'd better go and take some money off his lordship.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Care to make a four, Chris?
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Might as well.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Goodbye. Come on, we should start.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53I don't want to, thanks anyway.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Don't be silly. >
0:32:50 > 0:32:53You're very kind but I get bored...
0:32:53 > 0:32:58..with trailing after you.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Stop being so tactful.
0:32:58 > 0:33:06Wilhelmina might want to be alone with you - and I want to finish "War and Peace".
0:33:06 > 0:33:09All right. I've got a good book, too.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18I've never seen anything like it...
0:33:15 > 0:33:18(BOTH): ...IN ALL ME LIFE!
0:33:24 > 0:33:28I think you're both deserters.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28No, we're just battle-weary.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28And disillusioned, don't forget.
0:33:28 > 0:33:35I imagined awful things happening to you. Getting blown up on the beaches, being shot at...
0:33:35 > 0:33:40..your tanks riddled with bullets.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Bullets penetrating our tanks!
0:33:40 > 0:33:44She might be right - we never tested them.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50And all this time you've been in some Boy Scouts' camp near here.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Concentration camp.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50But how did you get out?
0:33:50 > 0:33:55I'm a trusty.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55They let me out to see you.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55David, you do still love me?
0:33:55 > 0:34:03He's been deceiving you with another.
0:33:57 > 0:34:03Is this true?
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Oh, yes, but "I have been faithful to thee, Sinatra, after my fashion."
0:34:04 > 0:34:07You're still my only married woman.
0:34:07 > 0:34:14As the Duke of Wellington, one who was allegedly greater than me, said...
0:34:14 > 0:34:18.."This damned tact will be the death of me!" Goodbye.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Hi!
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Good Lord, Queen Witch, how are you?
0:34:23 > 0:34:30Wet, very wet.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30Just like when I met you, only you didn't have those pretty pants on.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30I know women look bad in trousers.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34That is a huge understatement.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Maybe I'd better not get in if...
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Come on. Get in. I was on my way to see you.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41You're an awful liar!
0:34:41 > 0:34:44That way.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55David.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Yes? >
0:34:51 > 0:34:55When did you join the Army?
0:34:53 > 0:34:551940.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Before Pearl Harbor.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Sure.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Why did you?
0:35:01 > 0:35:07As a matter of fact, it was for loot and booty and glory - in that order.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I'm persistent. Why?
0:35:10 > 0:35:15I haven't a clue, but it wasn't to make the world safe for democracy.
0:35:15 > 0:35:20See if the toast's ready. Not that Daddy's gadgets ever work.
0:35:20 > 0:35:27No, it doesn't even toast, let alone turn it over.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27Give it a bang. Be careful. I'm sure it's going to explode one day.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32The switch wasn't on.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32I'd leave it alone if I were you.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32No, I'm very fond of toast.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Yes, very fond of toast(!)
0:35:36 > 0:35:38APPLAUSE
0:35:41 > 0:35:47Why is it whenever you get a good radio programme it's always just coming to an end?
0:35:47 > 0:35:52< That was Wagner.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Leave that station. It's nice.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52< I want to get a concert.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56In America this would be grounds for divorce - mental cruelty.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Mm - would it, now?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Move over.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Darling...
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Mm-hmm.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12..are you worried about anything?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12I suppose not.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15We'll manage till you get back.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20I hate not being here if anything happened to you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26It's silly. I couldn't do anything if I were here. But we've always been a family.
0:36:27 > 0:36:33That makes me want to cry. We're supposed to be worrying about you.
0:36:33 > 0:36:41I'll be all right.
0:36:34 > 0:36:41It can't last much longer, can it?
0:36:36 > 0:36:41When it is finished we'll be happy all over again.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46As long as you love me a little.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46But you're so beautiful.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I'm 31.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51I shall love you more every day until you're 60.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54And then?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Then people will begin to talk.
0:36:54 > 0:37:00Then I shall leave you.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00Divorce me?
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- Divorce me?- Certainly.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Why?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Why?- So I can marry you again.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05PIANO
0:37:07 > 0:37:10How long did it last?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Two years.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16Happy ones?
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Tolerably. I was pretty well off at the time.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19That's rather an unkind remark.
0:37:20 > 0:37:26It was an unkind sensation, being left by a wife.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26What was she like?
0:37:28 > 0:37:33Something like you. Same shape of face. Her voice was like yours, too.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Was it?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Yes but she was far more beautiful.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44I ask too many questions, don't I?
0:37:44 > 0:37:49Yes. It's a characteristic of your sex.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Am I annoying you?
0:37:51 > 0:37:56Mm-hm. That is your intention, isn't it?
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Yes, and I'm sorry. I really am.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I'm not always like this. It's...
0:38:07 > 0:38:10It's a sort of defence, I suppose.
0:38:11 > 0:38:17Against what?
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Against me so I won't make a fool of myself, either with a woman -
0:38:17 > 0:38:23which I've already done once - or in this invasion which I'm going to do.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27I don't know what it is I'm most scared of.
0:38:27 > 0:38:33I'm a perfect setup for our army trick cyclists, in my frame of mind.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36How nice you can be sometimes.
0:38:36 > 0:38:42Maybe I no longer mistrust you like all other women.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42That's a backhander and no mistake.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Unintentional this time.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Do you believe in coincidence?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51And in fate. Why?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58The candles are going out.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Jane. Jane!
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Yes?
0:39:04 > 0:39:08What was all that about - coincidence and fate?
0:39:09 > 0:39:14I was due to go back today. The phone rang, another 24 hours off.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19I went out and ran into you. That's all.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Someone had to say it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:29Jane, you wouldn't be in love with me, would you?
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Mm. Stupid of me, I know.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Your emotions are getting confused because I'm off to war...
0:39:35 > 0:39:40and because women will keep heroic, romantic pictures of people...
0:39:41 > 0:39:46..which have nothing to do with the truth and can only...
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I'm glad you did that.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59I ought to know better.
0:39:59 > 0:40:06Jane.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Darling.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06You seem to know everything. Am I in love with you?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Not yet, but you will be.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15THUD
0:40:17 > 0:40:25The candle's on the floor. The house will catch fire.
0:40:20 > 0:40:25Do you mind?
0:40:21 > 0:40:25No. Daddy made a fire extinguisher.
0:40:25 > 0:40:30We use it to kill weeds and...
0:40:27 > 0:40:30TELEPHONE
0:40:27 > 0:40:30There it is. It's giving the alarm.
0:40:30 > 0:40:40Telephone.
0:40:31 > 0:40:40I'll answer it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:40No. Don't move, because this minute will never happen again for us.
0:40:40 > 0:40:47Stupid thought but it's true.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47Darling...
0:40:43 > 0:40:47Don't write to me or anything...
0:40:47 > 0:40:54..because I want to get everything sure in my mind before I see you again.
0:40:54 > 0:41:00Do you mind?
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Anything. Only don't be too long.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03PHONE STILL RINGING
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Hello.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Oh. Philip Hamilton.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18It's for you.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Hello, Phil.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Yes.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Yes.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33How funny.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36The Army's like that, isn't it?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38All right. Bye.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54God bless you. Take care. We are so fond of you.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Don't worry. Goodbye, darling.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Oh. There's this.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05< It's Jeremy's. He wanted you to have it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:11"The Gospel according to St John." Thank him for me.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Bye, Wilhelmina. >
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Goodbye. You're to come back safe, both of you, and all in one piece.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Please take care of him, David.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Don't worry. I'll look after him.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Come on, Phil, we're late.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32ENGINE STARTS
0:42:59 > 0:43:03See the engines are kept running.
0:43:03 > 0:43:10Where do we rendezvous?
0:43:05 > 0:43:10I'll be in the transit area.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10Fine.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10The route is signed all the way.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Just as well, the way you read a map
0:43:13 > 0:43:16It was a traffic cop diversion.
0:43:16 > 0:43:24First time I ever went from London to Brighton via Cambridge. You're leading, David.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Yes, I'll follow the signs.
0:43:24 > 0:43:30Different from last time.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30Last time?
0:43:27 > 0:43:30< Mm. Dunkirk in reverse.
0:44:16 > 0:44:19Right, Bushey, I'll see you later.
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Any Calvados left?
0:44:23 > 0:44:29Golly, it's strong. Blows the turret off you. Top up, plenty left.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32< Anything doing?
0:44:30 > 0:44:32We've done everything but fight.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36'45 Jones says we'll attack. He's well-informed.
0:44:37 > 0:44:42Nobody tells me anything.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42Cigarette. Cigarette au Papa.
0:44:42 > 0:44:50Playmate for Claude.
0:44:44 > 0:44:50Give me your case, I want a cigarette. What a sweet kid. There.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54You forgot to give her this.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Corporal O'Connor!
0:45:01 > 0:45:05(WHISTLES AND CLICKS TONGUE) Come on now.
0:45:05 > 0:45:11I hear General Montgomery told all the COs what was going to happen.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14You hear this at a dance, Waky?
0:45:14 > 0:45:22I have my sources. Why would we be checking the tanks again today?
0:45:19 > 0:45:22Bull. That's what it is - bull.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Last week in Bayeux, they called us Piccadilly boys.
0:45:26 > 0:45:33Proper dust-up there was. I coshed a Highland Division chap, good and proper.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37Something will always keep us from the battlefield.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Here, turn it up, Taff.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42No, let him say what it is.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Vested interests, see?
0:45:45 > 0:45:48(ALL SING "Cwm Rhondda")
0:45:53 > 0:45:57Padre's at it again. >
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Always the same tune. >
0:45:57 > 0:46:00"Cwm Rhondda" and "Land of My Fathers".
0:46:00 > 0:46:06First Battalion's got a much better choir. I'll apply for a transfer.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08INCOMING SHELL
0:46:10 > 0:46:13We're not very good at this, are we?
0:46:13 > 0:46:17How do you feel about tomorrow?
0:46:14 > 0:46:17Pretty windy.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Same here.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22One consolation, the Jerries'll feel much worse.
0:46:22 > 0:46:28Ah, gin!
0:46:22 > 0:46:28That puts you out. I'll crack off. I want to write to Wilhelmina.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Reveille's at 3.30?
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Yes. Wish that ruddy choir'd pipe down.
0:46:32 > 0:46:38The Welsh never stop singing, even when they're talking. Good night.
0:46:38 > 0:46:42Good night. >
0:46:39 > 0:46:42(ALL FINISH SINGING)
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Driver, advance.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32INCOMING SHELL
0:47:34 > 0:47:40That's him, in the corner of the woods. If Number One goes right...
0:47:40 > 0:47:46..Three and Four can sneak left, while we give covering fire.
0:47:46 > 0:47:52Who leads on the left?
0:47:47 > 0:47:52Three. You just follow Philip. Whose tank was it?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Thomas. German .88. Got all but one.
0:47:56 > 0:48:02Everybody happy?
0:47:58 > 0:48:02We shall be, it's the hanging about I don't like.
0:48:02 > 0:48:04David. >
0:48:04 > 0:48:06About time we pushed on.
0:48:06 > 0:48:09Filling them in, they're new to it.
0:48:09 > 0:48:14Bound to be, first time in battle. Tell 'em not to worry.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21INCOMING SHELL
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Argrlwydd!
0:48:31 > 0:48:36Bad shot, hope they book him. You know now where the .88 is.
0:48:36 > 0:48:43Thank you, sir.
0:48:37 > 0:48:43GUARDSMAN JONES!
0:48:38 > 0:48:43Sir!
0:48:39 > 0:48:43I'll book you. Why are you naked?
0:48:43 > 0:48:47Naked, sir?
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Yes! Top three buttons, do them up!
0:48:52 > 0:48:57Sir, may we start the battle? I do not feel safe here any longer.
0:48:57 > 0:49:01Baker Three, we're putting down smoke now.
0:49:28 > 0:49:33Let me know when you've formed up behind the screen.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Hello, Baker One. In position now.
0:49:39 > 0:49:44Hello, Baker Three. Will put down another screen, 400 yards ahead.
0:49:44 > 0:49:49You'll be under cover until you reach the wood. Out.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54MACHINE-GUN AND SHELL FIRE
0:51:50 > 0:51:54Teach the bastards to respect my neutrality!
0:52:14 > 0:52:17That's seven of them anyway. >
0:52:17 > 0:52:22Including a Ferdinand and a Tiger.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22And Lord knows how many PWs.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27And killed.
0:52:22 > 0:52:27'Ere, Smoke! Look at this from a German .88. Smoke!
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Just below my head. Another inch...
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Another foot, you mean!
0:52:33 > 0:52:39You'd better not say another word about Berlin! Vested interests!
0:52:44 > 0:52:49I wonder why we're staying here.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49They never tell us anything.
0:52:50 > 0:52:55It went all right. Just like an exercise, except for that.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00Yeah... except for that.
0:53:07 > 0:53:09A cup of tea for you, sir.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11Thanks.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14Golly, it's strong.
0:53:14 > 0:53:19Strong enough for the spoon to stand up in it. Thank you, sir.
0:53:19 > 0:53:23Pity about Sergeant Thomas.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Yes, he was all right, sir.
0:53:23 > 0:53:27VEHICLE APPROACHING
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Who's there?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27Don't shoot, you BF. Only me.
0:53:27 > 0:53:32Got our orders. Col Johnny's finished his O Group.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37We've run into a strong position - 12 SS and most of 21 Panzer.
0:53:37 > 0:53:41So infantry comes up and we pull back.
0:53:41 > 0:53:48Pull back?!
0:53:43 > 0:53:48Yes, battalion's knocked out 17 tanks and taken all objectives.
0:53:49 > 0:53:52Trouble is, we don't know the big picture...
0:53:52 > 0:53:57..we fight our little wars with a squadron of tanks.
0:53:57 > 0:54:02O'Connor, you'll be a sergeant, when the tank we lost is replaced.
0:54:02 > 0:54:07Pity to get it this way, sir.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07Yes. Bad luck about Thomas.
0:54:07 > 0:54:12David, Padre won't be able to bury them. Afraid you'll have to.
0:54:12 > 0:54:17Good night.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17Good night.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17Good night, sir.
0:54:18 > 0:54:23We better get some spades off the tank, we'll do it ourselves.
0:54:25 > 0:54:31Will you ask Mr Hamilton to lend us his Gospel he carries with him?
0:54:31 > 0:54:36I don't think I ought to, sir. Thomas was Protestant, I'm Catholic.
0:54:36 > 0:54:41Don't be a fool. I'm tired enough without that nonsense.
0:54:41 > 0:54:45Sorry, sir. I don't want to be difficult, but...
0:54:45 > 0:54:51It's all right, I'll do it myself, but, you know, it is the same God.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57I'll get the other spade, sir.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41David. David.
0:55:51 > 0:55:57Amazing - out of battle a few hours, they're at it just like Caterham.
0:55:59 > 0:56:04Well, at least they teach you to die with your boots clean.
0:57:55 > 0:58:01We've had it. Bail out and give a hand with the extinguisher!
0:58:06 > 0:58:09Where's '77 Jones?
0:58:07 > 0:58:09Still inside, sir.
0:58:09 > 0:58:14Come on! Get another extinguisher! Hurry!
0:58:21 > 0:58:24Said not to play with matches(!)
0:58:28 > 0:58:34Jones! Come down here. '77 Jones, come down here!
0:58:37 > 0:58:39Give me that!
0:58:44 > 0:58:49Eight hours I've been catching up. I've tried to thumb a ride.
0:58:49 > 0:58:53Is that you, sir?
0:58:51 > 0:58:53Why aren't you asleep?
0:58:53 > 0:58:59We thought something happened to you
0:58:54 > 0:58:59It hasn't. In future, don't wait up or I'll put you in the book!
0:59:00 > 0:59:03(SIGHS) Now, good night.
0:59:03 > 0:59:08Nos da.
0:59:03 > 0:59:08Nos da.
0:59:04 > 0:59:08Never seen anything like it in all me life!
0:59:18 > 0:59:23If we and the Canadians keep pushing on the Falaise front...
0:59:23 > 0:59:26..Jerry must keep his armour there.
0:59:26 > 0:59:33- If they do that, the less there is for the Americans in- their- push on our right.
0:59:33 > 0:59:39Patton should be at Chartres now. Pretty good going. Any questions?
0:59:39 > 0:59:47Yes, sir. Why is it the Russians and Americans advance hundreds of miles and we stop after ten?
0:59:47 > 0:59:55Your memories are short. The greatest advance so far was Alamein to Tripoli - hundreds of miles.
0:59:55 > 1:00:01This front we're on now, with half as many divisions as the Americans,
1:00:01 > 1:00:06..we and the Canadians are holding down as many Germans as them.
1:00:06 > 1:00:09So don't ask damn silly questions!
1:00:10 > 1:00:12That's all. >
1:00:13 > 1:00:15< Tea's up!
1:00:15 > 1:00:18Hark at old land of hope and glory!
1:00:18 > 1:00:25Thank God, the Lords will be first in the tumbrel come the revolution.
1:00:22 > 1:00:25In fact, we have 15 out of 28 divisions.
1:00:26 > 1:00:31Don't start him off again.
1:00:28 > 1:00:31I'll subscribe to the Daily Worker.
1:00:31 > 1:00:36You can borrow my copy.
1:00:32 > 1:00:36Bushey, can we use your jeep to go to headquarters?
1:00:36 > 1:00:41Be back by 12.30, we're going to the Coldstreams.
1:00:41 > 1:00:46For a fully licensed lunch. Darned good, you know, it's more than half.
1:00:46 > 1:00:51What is?
1:00:47 > 1:00:5115 out of 28.
1:00:48 > 1:00:51Some biscuits?
1:00:51 > 1:00:53That's very kind...
1:00:54 > 1:00:57What's the matter now, you old fool?
1:00:58 > 1:01:00Imposter!
1:01:00 > 1:01:04So that's the form?
1:01:01 > 1:01:04Yes, Leclerc got into Paris.
1:01:04 > 1:01:09We've go to move the tanks 150 miles by tomorrow night.
1:01:09 > 1:01:15We'd better get out of your way.
1:01:10 > 1:01:15Wait for George. Church parade only lasts half an hour.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19Okay. Thanks, Gerald.
1:01:17 > 1:01:19Bye, Gerald.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23"..the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away."
1:01:23 > 1:01:28"The shield of Saul as if he had not been anointed with oil."
1:01:28 > 1:01:33"From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty...
1:01:33 > 1:01:39..the bow of Jonathan turned not back. The sword of Saul returned not empty."

1:01:55 > 1:02:00Does it matter?
1:01:57 > 1:02:00Wilhelmina never dates her letters.
1:02:00 > 1:02:05She's dead right. Unimportant. Wonder where we're going?
1:02:05 > 1:02:09Does it make any difference?
1:02:06 > 1:02:09No, as long as it isn't Burma.
1:02:31 > 1:02:36The River Seine, was it, sir?

1:03:50 > 1:03:56Driver's leg's broken. Careful, there'll be more mines.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56Get down and help clear the road!
1:03:56 > 1:04:01Leg, is it, Davies? Keep still. We'll have you out in no time.
1:04:01 > 1:04:03< Get the medical officer up!
1:04:07 > 1:04:09Here, have a swig of this.

1:06:04 > 1:06:09Push on, then. They're ahead by half an hour. D'you want to go sick?
1:06:09 > 1:06:11Not bloody likely!
1:06:17 > 1:06:19Get off the road! Back!

1:08:00 > 1:08:02Monsieur. Monsieur!
1:08:03 > 1:08:06Help me. Ou est la Gare du Nord?
1:08:06 > 1:08:09Je ne sais pas.
1:08:07 > 1:08:09Course you do, you fool!
1:08:10 > 1:08:13M'selle! Ou est la Gare du Nord?
1:08:13 > 1:08:15You are not German?
1:08:15 > 1:08:20Les Anglais! Les Allies anyway.
1:08:17 > 1:08:20Pas les Boches?! Les Anglais!

1:08:21 > 1:08:24Vive les Anglais! Vive les Anglais!
1:08:26 > 1:08:31Hey, hey. Look, you're not my type. Can you help us find a guide?
1:08:31 > 1:08:36Guide?
1:08:32 > 1:08:36Une guide.
1:08:33 > 1:08:36Une guide. Oui.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36CHEERING
1:08:36 > 1:08:40Baker One. Opposition too strong. Overwhelmed(!)
1:08:41 > 1:08:45Same here. Situation rapidly deteriorating.
1:08:45 > 1:08:48I've three telephone numbers already
1:08:53 > 1:08:59Bravo.
1:08:54 > 1:08:59Comme ils sont blases. Wake up, Tommy!

1:09:35 > 1:09:38Qu'est-ce que vous voulez?
1:09:38 > 1:09:41Oh. We wondered if you could take a cheque?
1:09:41 > 1:09:49Of course, colonel, delighted.
1:09:43 > 1:09:49But they are guests. Vous ne prenez l'argent des Anglais.
1:09:49 > 1:09:55Of course, tonight, you are guests.
1:09:51 > 1:09:55Oh, you embarrass me. But not much.

1:10:01 > 1:10:04Who's been sleeping on my pillow?
1:10:14 > 1:10:17Hello, David. You're up early.
1:10:17 > 1:10:19Didn't sleep.
1:10:19 > 1:10:26Wondered why the Grenadiers weren't at the Gare du Nord.
1:10:23 > 1:10:26We were. We were first in town, too.
1:10:26 > 1:10:30You must've come by train, then! Where are you off to?
1:10:30 > 1:10:37Moving on. We've had it with this place. Stand aside, five worst guards, make way for soldiers!
1:10:39 > 1:10:42Charles Heidseick. Veuve Clicquot.
1:10:42 > 1:10:44..since 1941.
1:10:44 > 1:10:49We wondered if you could sell us a few bottles.
1:10:49 > 1:10:52But they are not mine to sell.
1:10:52 > 1:10:54Oh.
1:10:52 > 1:10:54I was afraid of that.
1:10:55 > 1:11:00All this belongs to the Germans - I'm sure they won't mind. Not now.
1:11:00 > 1:11:03As long as you don't take too many.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07We only want a dozen bottles.
1:11:05 > 1:11:07A dozen?!
1:11:07 > 1:11:12Well, half a dozen.
1:11:08 > 1:11:12You can take half a million, if you like.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Bushey. Bushey?
1:11:17 > 1:11:22Over there.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22Wonderful news. We've discovered a champagne point.
1:11:22 > 1:11:26I have news, too, we're moving in an hour!
1:11:26 > 1:11:31Don't you know there's a war on? Champagne!! How much is there?
1:11:32 > 1:11:37Goodbye, Hindenburg. Do everything this gentleman says.
1:11:37 > 1:11:39Everything on board?
1:11:39 > 1:11:41What's this?
1:11:41 > 1:11:44Extra case for the sergeants' mess.
1:11:44 > 1:11:49You black rogue, we've allotted you a whole three-tonner already.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53Goodbye. Thank you for your kindness.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56Don't mention it.
1:11:56 > 1:11:59Bye, Hindenburg. Be a good girl.
1:12:11 > 1:12:16We dropped First Airborne Division at Arnhem to take the bridge.
1:12:16 > 1:12:24Dropped another at Nijmegen and at Grave, to take those bridges, so we get a straight run to Arnhem.
1:12:24 > 1:12:26Easy on paper, Bushey. >
1:12:27 > 1:12:32There's a long road ahead. Check your tanks and get cracking.
1:12:35 > 1:12:40I've heard if this is successful, the war will be over by Christmas.
1:12:40 > 1:12:46Christmas?
1:12:41 > 1:12:46If the paratroopers take the bridges and we join them...
1:12:46 > 1:12:50..and the rest of the Army follows up - perhaps.
1:12:51 > 1:12:55Holy Fry! It's the Yanks!! >
1:12:55 > 1:13:00They're dropping! It must be the first bridge! >
1:13:02 > 1:13:06Hey, it is them! The British are here.
1:13:06 > 1:13:09HEY, GANG, THE LIMEYS HAVE MADE IT!
1:13:09 > 1:13:12Hiya, fellas! Hiya, men!
1:13:12 > 1:13:17You lovely great thing! Say, it's been lonely without you.
1:13:17 > 1:13:20Hello, Yankee boy.
1:13:18 > 1:13:20SHOUTED GREETINGS
1:13:21 > 1:13:26I never thought I'd be glad to see a Limey.
1:13:23 > 1:13:26This Limey's from New York!
1:13:26 > 1:13:28You don't say! Hiya, bud.
1:13:28 > 1:13:33Smoke? Take them, I've got lots.
1:13:30 > 1:13:33We're out. Thanks. So long.
1:13:34 > 1:13:36So long, Yankee.
1:14:09 > 1:14:15We make a frontal assault, while the Americans make a diversion.
1:14:15 > 1:14:17How do you think they'll be, David?
1:14:17 > 1:14:23How the hell should I know?
1:14:19 > 1:14:23You're an American.
1:14:20 > 1:14:23They fought well enough in 1776!
1:14:23 > 1:14:27Sorry, old boy. You should hear what they call me.
1:14:27 > 1:14:29INCOMING SHELL
1:14:29 > 1:14:31Hello, Bushey.
1:14:32 > 1:14:34Thanks for the champagne you sent us
1:14:34 > 1:14:38Think nothing of it.
1:14:35 > 1:14:38We don't, you kept the best stuff.
1:14:38 > 1:14:45How's it going?
1:14:39 > 1:14:45Paratroops didn't get the bridge. Grenadiers will try in the morning
1:14:45 > 1:14:50If they get it, we cross over. The boys in Arnhem must be worried.
1:14:50 > 1:14:54Is it a big bridge?
1:14:51 > 1:14:54Only the Rhine.
1:14:52 > 1:14:54Will they make it?
1:14:54 > 1:14:59No, you can't cross a bridge half a mile long in daylight! Impossible!
1:15:12 > 1:15:14Quite impossible!
1:15:41 > 1:15:49(RADIO): "For eight days and 16 hours, they've fought and waited for that hard, battling second army."
1:15:49 > 1:15:54"If necessary, they'll fight as long as there's breath in their bodies."
1:15:54 > 1:15:58"How much longer this can go on, I don't know...
1:15:58 > 1:16:02..but it won't be the Airborne men who call a halt."
1:16:02 > 1:16:07"That is all from Arnhem, on Monday, September 25, at tea time...
1:16:07 > 1:16:10..only there isn't any tea."
1:16:10 > 1:16:12Sir, sir.
1:16:12 > 1:16:14On B set now, sir.
1:16:14 > 1:16:17Hello, Sunray. Orders from Sunray.
1:16:17 > 1:16:23Get vehicles off the road and start digging slit trenches. We'll see you soon.
1:16:24 > 1:16:29# We're shifting father's grave to build a sewer
1:16:29 > 1:16:33# We're doing the job regardless of expense
1:16:33 > 1:16:38# We're shifting his remains to put in six-inch drains
1:16:38 > 1:16:41# To irrigate some toff's new residence

1:16:45 > 1:16:49Hello, David. Are your tanks badly bogged?
1:16:49 > 1:16:51Up to the belly plates.
1:16:51 > 1:16:58Scammell's coming to tow you out.
1:16:53 > 1:16:58# Scammell's coming, hurrah! #
1:16:55 > 1:16:58Got your troop's mail.
1:16:58 > 1:17:03'77 Jones, give these to the others, and keep your head down.
1:17:03 > 1:17:07What's the form?
1:17:05 > 1:17:07< Micks have lost all their tanks.
1:17:08 > 1:17:15We can't get through off-road. On the roads, we're easy targets.
1:17:12 > 1:17:15You can't leave the Airborne boys?
1:17:15 > 1:17:20We lost too much armour. A division will bash down the road tonight.
1:17:21 > 1:17:27Infantry?
1:17:22 > 1:17:27Yes. We've come a long way, but our front's no wider than a main road.
1:17:27 > 1:17:33They've cut it?
1:17:28 > 1:17:33Three times a day and we're 40 miles from the main army. Here comes one.
1:17:33 > 1:17:38EXPLOSION
1:17:34 > 1:17:38Anybody hurt?
1:17:36 > 1:17:38< No. Bit wet, sir.
1:17:38 > 1:17:41Very rude of them, I must say.
1:17:41 > 1:17:43EXPLOSIONS
1:17:43 > 1:17:46(LAUGHS)
1:17:46 > 1:17:52What is it?
1:17:47 > 1:17:52Letter from the States - I've been called up! Drafted!!
1:17:58 > 1:18:01(WHISTLES) Half-time, boys!
1:18:03 > 1:18:06BAGPIPES PLAYING
1:18:22 > 1:18:28Don't you Jessies fight at night?
1:18:24 > 1:18:28Not with you real soldiers around. Good luck, laddie.
1:18:30 > 1:18:36Discipline is not high in that battalion, sir.
1:18:33 > 1:18:36Oh, they do all right.
1:18:36 > 1:18:39Yes, the queen of battles.
1:18:39 > 1:18:43Pardon, sir?
1:18:40 > 1:18:43Nothing. I said nothing.
1:18:44 > 1:18:47TANK STARTS
1:19:06 > 1:19:10Well, glad to see you made it at last, sir.
1:19:10 > 1:19:14What goes on here?
1:19:11 > 1:19:14Americans, sir, sharing our billets.
1:19:14 > 1:19:17You can't turn your back a minute!
1:19:17 > 1:19:20Tank crews with cigars?! What next?
1:19:20 > 1:19:22< I'd like him back to Caterham!
1:19:23 > 1:19:26If the Sgt Major could see him now!
1:19:24 > 1:19:26(BOTH): Cor!
1:19:26 > 1:19:30Cushy place this, sir, you'll like it.
1:19:31 > 1:19:34Major, tell me something?
1:19:34 > 1:19:38- Are you addressing- me- ?
1:19:35 > 1:19:38Is it true 48 hours leave is on?
1:19:38 > 1:19:43Yes, we can go as far as Brussels. Philip and David, first. Us, last.
1:19:43 > 1:19:48Fair enough, friendship's a beautiful thing.
1:19:46 > 1:19:48You should try it.
1:19:48 > 1:19:55Like the fellows - Damon and...
1:19:50 > 1:19:55Runyon.
1:19:51 > 1:19:55There's a bottle near you, launch it, will you?
1:19:55 > 1:20:01VEHICLE APPROACHING
1:19:56 > 1:20:01Talking of secret weapons, there's an ENSA concert tonight.
1:20:04 > 1:20:07< First name out, first on leave.
1:20:07 > 1:20:13Sound democratic principles. >
1:20:08 > 1:20:13< Eenie, meenie, minie, mo.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13Hurry up, we want to pack. >
1:20:13 > 1:20:19< It is with profound embarrassment I announce...
1:20:16 > 1:20:19It's a fiddle! >
1:20:19 > 1:20:24Two Chanel and one Guerlain, okay?
1:20:21 > 1:20:24Yes. You just want some lace, Tex?
1:20:24 > 1:20:28Check!
1:20:25 > 1:20:28Be good while I'm away!
1:20:26 > 1:20:28Have a good time.
1:20:28 > 1:20:35Let's go by the quartermaster about those shirts.
1:20:31 > 1:20:35Is that all right?
1:20:32 > 1:20:35Sure! He's a swell feller.
1:20:36 > 1:20:39Thanks, Texas. Sunday the 26th, 6.30?
1:20:39 > 1:20:44Yes. And stay for dinner. We're giving a farewell party to your boys.
1:20:44 > 1:20:47I'll be glad to. How long a sermon?
1:20:47 > 1:20:51Oh, about ten minutes or less.
1:20:48 > 1:20:51Okay, or less. Goodbye.
1:20:51 > 1:20:55Phil, Battalion wants to see you now.
1:20:55 > 1:21:01Why?
1:20:55 > 1:21:01Bushey... he's been killed.
1:20:58 > 1:21:01But... Shell or accident?
1:21:01 > 1:21:03Accident.
1:21:04 > 1:21:10It doesn't make sense.
1:21:06 > 1:21:10Almost comic. To get as far as this and...
1:21:10 > 1:21:13And Claude? >
1:21:11 > 1:21:13He's a bit beat up.
1:21:13 > 1:21:18Anything I can do?
1:21:15 > 1:21:18Apparently not, Tex. Thanks anyway.
1:21:21 > 1:21:23Thank you, sir, for leave to speak.
1:21:24 > 1:21:28'45 Jones's been spreading rumours, I put him under close arrest.
1:21:28 > 1:21:34What rumours?
1:21:29 > 1:21:34About Major Noble, sir.
1:21:31 > 1:21:34You'd better let him out again.
1:21:34 > 1:21:38I better go up to HQ, then find out where Claude is.
1:21:38 > 1:21:42Shall I come?
1:21:39 > 1:21:42You better stay here. See you later.
1:21:42 > 1:21:44So it is true, sir?
1:21:44 > 1:21:47Yes, ran into an armoured car.
1:21:47 > 1:21:49Rees, tyre's flat.
1:21:49 > 1:21:51After he'd come all this way, too.
1:21:51 > 1:21:55Ah, he was a gentleman, sir, a fine officer.
1:21:55 > 1:22:00It's funny. One minute, you're alive, the next, you're dead.
1:22:00 > 1:22:02Nothing in-between.
1:22:02 > 1:22:07And nothing we can do about it.
1:22:03 > 1:22:07Not one of us thinks it'll happen to him.
1:22:07 > 1:22:12Yes, I know what you'd say if we had only one tank left.
1:22:12 > 1:22:14"It's lonely without the others."
1:22:15 > 1:22:18So the world is left with one hope,
1:22:18 > 1:22:22..if it isn't to destroy itself in the next generation.
1:22:22 > 1:22:26There can be no class in the sight of God.
1:22:26 > 1:22:29Neither can there be nations.
1:22:29 > 1:22:33You men have perhaps noticed this one strange truth -
1:22:33 > 1:22:38..the person beside you may be of another country...
1:22:38 > 1:22:47..but you get along better with him than you do with some of your fellow Americans or fellow Englishmen.
1:22:47 > 1:22:54< If we believe all that matters is a way of life and all people from any nation can share in it...
1:22:54 > 1:22:58< ..it must be a way of life that is right.
1:22:58 > 1:23:01< Right, true, honourable and just.
1:23:01 > 1:23:05< And full of love for the rest of humanity.
1:23:05 > 1:23:11< We live in an age of cynicism and even greater materialism...
1:23:11 > 1:23:15< ..but man has something no man can ever destroy -
1:23:15 > 1:23:20< ..the spirit - that which raises him above the animal.
1:23:20 > 1:23:26< At times, you live like an animal, you burrow underground and kill...
1:23:26 > 1:23:31< ..but you have a spirit. This much I leave with you.
1:23:31 > 1:23:34< It may comfort you in times of war
1:23:35 > 1:23:38..and I pray you remember it in days of peace.
1:23:39 > 1:23:44- Each one of you- has- a body, but he- is- a soul.
1:23:45 > 1:23:50Padre, what will you have?
1:23:47 > 1:23:50Nothing, thank you.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50Oh, hello, come in.
1:23:50 > 1:23:54I brought Mary Simonds with me. "Herald Tribune".
1:23:54 > 1:24:00It's the best thing you've done.
1:23:56 > 1:24:00I feel bad about gate-crashing, but I'm hungry.
1:24:00 > 1:24:04We're delighted. We love war correspondents.
1:24:04 > 1:24:09A white woman!
1:24:05 > 1:24:09Lord Bentham - not, in fact, Lord Nelson.
1:24:09 > 1:24:11His was the other eye.
1:24:11 > 1:24:15You don't want to meet the others, they're not very nice.
1:24:15 > 1:24:20The fourth was torn to pieces by a mob, in a friendly way.
1:24:20 > 1:24:25The fifth, he died in bed - the husband shot him.
1:24:25 > 1:24:27He'll be gone tomorrow.
1:24:27 > 1:24:34A deserter?
1:24:28 > 1:24:34He's being sent home to lecture in factories, recruiting for the Army.
1:24:34 > 1:24:37Some advertisement for the Army!
1:24:37 > 1:24:39Boston?
1:24:39 > 1:24:44New York.
1:24:40 > 1:24:44Like to tell me more?
1:24:41 > 1:24:44There's no story in it.
1:24:44 > 1:24:47Forget it, then. Is there one here at all?
1:24:47 > 1:24:52This room? Enough for every article you ever write.
1:24:52 > 1:24:54Yes?
1:24:54 > 1:24:59The nearer to battle the better we get on. The further from the front,
1:24:59 > 1:25:05..it's how slow can the British advance, how fast the Americans run.
1:25:05 > 1:25:11There's a moral in it. Somewhere.
1:25:07 > 1:25:11Because only the few get near the battle.
1:25:11 > 1:25:17A helluva lot of them won't be alive when they're wanted, after the war.
1:25:17 > 1:25:23What they've learnt will die with them.
1:25:20 > 1:25:23They like you here, yes?
1:25:23 > 1:25:25Maybe because I like them.
1:25:25 > 1:25:30They don't judge me, I don't judge them. A lot of sermons tonight.
1:25:30 > 1:25:35It's Sunday.
1:25:31 > 1:25:35I've wanted to say that for a long time. You talk.
1:25:35 > 1:25:40Me and that old earl...
1:25:37 > 1:25:40I'm all ears.
1:25:38 > 1:25:40I won't argue.
1:25:40 > 1:25:43Tell us about the present earl?
1:25:43 > 1:25:46Good, I love talking about myself.
1:25:46 > 1:25:51Where were you wounded?
1:25:47 > 1:25:51Er, what?
1:25:48 > 1:25:51Where were you wounded?
1:25:52 > 1:25:55Fool! In which country?!
1:25:56 > 1:25:58See if you can find room for these.
1:25:58 > 1:26:00Just manage, I expect.
1:26:00 > 1:26:06Haven't the Americans got an airfield here?
1:26:03 > 1:26:06Mm-hm.
1:26:04 > 1:26:06How about cadging a lift?
1:26:06 > 1:26:09Save time, we've only got 48 hours.
1:26:09 > 1:26:13Think they go to Brussels?
1:26:10 > 1:26:13Everything sensible goes there.
1:26:13 > 1:26:17Brussels? No, these are for Northolt.
1:26:17 > 1:26:21How about it? It's risky. Is it worth it?
1:26:21 > 1:26:27Sure.
1:26:22 > 1:26:27Sorry, no. One of our boys got busted last week for the same thing.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30Well, it was worth a try.
1:26:30 > 1:26:33All right, come on, let's go.
1:26:46 > 1:26:50Just a second. Hurry, we've got a lift to London.
1:27:07 > 1:27:09Please will you marry me?
1:27:09 > 1:27:12Darling! Oh, darling.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16We were luckier than they are.
1:27:16 > 1:27:21David didn't have to have a photo taken with a lot of giggling women!
1:27:21 > 1:27:27Nonsense, you loved it! You never stopped ogling the bridesmaids.
1:27:27 > 1:27:32That's what I mean - St Moritz, I had you to myself for a whole month.
1:27:32 > 1:27:37It's the most expensive month I've ever spent. No, David's lucky.
1:27:37 > 1:27:40Nicholas's christening.
1:27:40 > 1:27:46The dean nearly dropped him.
1:27:41 > 1:27:46Silly old toff. You were getting fat then.
1:27:46 > 1:27:48War's done you some good.
1:27:50 > 1:27:54But it hasn't changed you, has it - inside?
1:27:54 > 1:28:01I don't know. You get an odd, superficial slant on the war, in an armoured division.
1:28:01 > 1:28:05You're always moving over places and people -
1:28:05 > 1:28:10..the ones that really feel the war, the people who are fought over.
1:28:10 > 1:28:16Maybe the infantry's different, their feelings are more profound.
1:28:16 > 1:28:18They have a worse time than us.
1:28:18 > 1:28:23But you remember all the funny things that happen...
1:28:23 > 1:28:26..not the horrors and unhappy things.
1:28:26 > 1:28:32I suppose wars occur again and again because of what you don't remember.
1:28:36 > 1:28:41We're going to be happy again soon, aren't we? When it's all over.
1:28:41 > 1:28:44We'll be very happy again, one fine day.
1:28:44 > 1:28:49Oh, we've been so lucky. I hope they'll be as lucky.
1:28:49 > 1:28:53David and Jane? Nobody'll ever be as lucky as us.
1:28:53 > 1:28:56Nobody?
1:28:54 > 1:28:56Nobody could be.
1:28:58 > 1:29:01We'll have a real honeymoon someday.
1:29:01 > 1:29:06It'll all be over by Christmas, won't it?
1:29:04 > 1:29:06I hope so.
1:29:07 > 1:29:12I still can't believe it. It really is so sudden, Mr Morgan.
1:29:12 > 1:29:14Oh, we Americans!
1:29:15 > 1:29:17I'm an American subject now.
1:29:17 > 1:29:25American citizen anyway.
1:29:19 > 1:29:25Darling, we British and Americans, do we think the same way?
1:29:25 > 1:29:30No, but we think the same things, much more important.
1:29:30 > 1:29:36How has it been - the war, I mean? Was it as bad as you thought?
1:29:36 > 1:29:42I'm not as scared as I thought I'd be. You get used to anything in time
1:29:42 > 1:29:46At times, we were safer than you people in London.
1:29:46 > 1:29:49But you will take care, won't you?
1:29:49 > 1:29:52Let's not talk about the war.
1:29:52 > 1:29:57We'd better get back to the hotel. What time is Philip coming?
1:29:57 > 1:30:03Midday. Are you sure Wilhelmina got us a ride?
1:30:00 > 1:30:03A US general's private plane.
1:30:03 > 1:30:05Good enough. Mrs Morgan.
1:30:05 > 1:30:07Yes, Mr Morgan.
1:30:07 > 1:30:12In future I want you to stay away from these Americans, see?
1:30:31 > 1:30:36The Americans may want us to counterattack.
1:30:36 > 1:30:38I'll make a recce.
1:30:38 > 1:30:43Check the ground, covered approaches and forming-up places.
1:30:43 > 1:30:48Tell the men Christmas dinners will be up as soon as the flap's over.
1:30:48 > 1:30:54I forgot about Christmas. Happy Christmas, sir.
1:30:51 > 1:30:54You, too, but it's not likely.
1:30:54 > 1:30:56I wouldn't come if I were you.
1:30:56 > 1:31:00I have to sometime. Company for you anyway.
1:31:00 > 1:31:04As you like. What are you so pleased about?
1:31:04 > 1:31:06Jane's pregnant.
1:31:06 > 1:31:08And I'm to be godfather, sir.
1:31:08 > 1:31:12And what are you going to call him?
1:31:10 > 1:31:12Oh... Wilhelmina.
1:31:24 > 1:31:27Have to leave the vehicles here.
1:31:27 > 1:31:31Armoured cars and tanks patrol the woods.
1:31:31 > 1:31:36Where are your forward companies?
1:31:32 > 1:31:36Over that ridge. They move at night.
1:31:36 > 1:31:43Can you get up there?
1:31:38 > 1:31:43Sure. I wasn't up there earlier, but some of the others were.
1:31:43 > 1:31:48Well, we might as well go.
1:31:44 > 1:31:48I'll show you the way.
1:31:45 > 1:31:48PLANE OVERHEAD
1:31:48 > 1:31:50Nice to see ours about again.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53- First time we've had to worry about- them.
1:31:56 > 1:32:01Zweitausend achthundert! Zweitausend achthundert!
1:32:02 > 1:32:05They should be in the woods.
1:32:05 > 1:32:07Good cover. Better than ours.
1:32:07 > 1:32:09Can you see anything?
1:32:09 > 1:32:13A Kraut here and there. Could be an SP gun.
1:32:13 > 1:32:15That should do it. You happy?
1:32:15 > 1:32:17Siebenundzwanzig! >
1:32:18 > 1:32:20Bastogne should be to the right.
1:32:20 > 1:32:24Where 101 are?
1:32:21 > 1:32:24Be good to see Tex and the boys.
1:32:24 > 1:32:27I'll have a look. No, too far away.
1:32:27 > 1:32:33We'll have to drive there one day. Come on, it's going to snow harder.
1:32:33 > 1:32:35Links vier, funfzig!
1:32:35 > 1:32:37Fire!
1:32:37 > 1:32:39GUN FIRES
1:32:43 > 1:32:45You all right, David?
1:32:45 > 1:32:51Yes. Let's run for it.
1:32:47 > 1:32:51Drop when you hear the next one coming. Come on!
1:32:52 > 1:32:56David! David! What the devil's the matter?
1:32:56 > 1:32:59Nothing. Go on. Go on, you fool!
1:32:59 > 1:33:02Ah! Don't! Please, don't.
1:33:02 > 1:33:06Where is it?
1:33:04 > 1:33:06It's no good. It's my back.
1:33:12 > 1:33:16It's Smoke, he's bringing the car for you.
1:33:16 > 1:33:21Tell him not to. (COUGHS)
1:33:17 > 1:33:21Hell, I haven't got a field dressing. Where's yours?
1:33:21 > 1:33:25I haven't, either. Put him in the book. (COUGHS)
1:33:25 > 1:33:31Gently. That madman'll be here soon.
1:33:28 > 1:33:31Go. I'll be fine here till dark.
1:33:31 > 1:33:36You may think you command this squadron, but you don't.
1:33:37 > 1:33:40Why have they stopped shelling?
1:33:40 > 1:33:45PLANE OVERHEAD
1:33:40 > 1:33:45No more ammo. Perhaps it's that plane. Phil...
1:33:46 > 1:33:55If anything happens to me, you can take my leave next week. England!
1:33:55 > 1:34:01Don't be silly, you'll be going yourself. Here, put this over you.
1:34:01 > 1:34:04< SCOUT CAR APPROACHING
1:34:04 > 1:34:07Wonder why they've stopped shelling.
1:34:10 > 1:34:13Smoke's nearly here.
1:34:13 > 1:34:16If he makes it, arrest him.
1:34:16 > 1:34:21Does it hurt a helluva lot?
1:34:17 > 1:34:21No. No legs, no feet, nothing.
1:34:22 > 1:34:25Don't talk. You always talk too much.
1:34:25 > 1:34:30She was right. She said it would be all over by Christmas.
1:34:31 > 1:34:33Who, Jane?
1:34:33 > 1:34:38You'll see her. You and Wilhelmina are lucky.
1:34:38 > 1:34:40Shh, don't do it. He's practically here.
1:34:40 > 1:34:43Don't forget. Smoke's to be the godfather.
1:34:43 > 1:34:46Quiet. It won't be a minute. He's just coming.
1:34:46 > 1:34:48Don't forget what I said.
1:34:48 > 1:34:49Forget what?
1:34:49 > 1:34:53Wilhelmina. You're lucky, you and Wilhelmina.
1:34:58 > 1:35:01SHELLS FIRED
1:35:06 > 1:35:10YOU'RE TOO LATE! YOU'RE TOO BLOODY LATE!
1:35:24 > 1:35:26There's this, too.
1:35:29 > 1:35:31Have you known him long?
1:35:32 > 1:35:34Four years.
1:35:34 > 1:35:36It's a long time. >
1:35:36 > 1:35:41I wish I could've given them a cross or something.
1:35:41 > 1:35:43Do that tomorrow.
1:36:05 > 1:36:11You think they'd mind if I get it wrong?
1:36:08 > 1:36:11Nah. You go right ahead.
1:36:22 > 1:36:24I'll be back tomorrow.
