I'm visiting our little boy's grave."Copy !req

454. A girl like that never has
dirty fingernails.Copy !req
455. - No.
- At most, a bit of sand from the beach.Copy !req
456. Tjaden.Copy !req
457. - Come on, give it to me.

since yesterday.Copy !req
466. He's been up there a while.Copy !req
467. Not funny.Copy !req
468. Don't start getting soft, men.Copy !req
469. - How many are we looking for?

503. And as long as that's the case,
I'll fight tooth and nail.Copy !req
504. We have to hold firm
and wait for fresh troops.Copy !req
505. New recruits are due in a few months.Copy !req
506. The French are trying
to force their shitty terms on us.Copy !req
507. I will not surrender.Copy !req
508. We have to strike now with all our might.Copy !req
509. Sir.Copy !req
510. For our part,Copy !req
511. I have to insist...Copy !req

574. Keep going!Copy !req
575. Go, go, go!Copy !req
576. Let's go, Paul. Come on. Paul!Copy !req
577. Get out!Copy !req
578. Open fire!Copy !req
579. Open fire!Copy !req
580. Get down!Copy !req
581. Get down!Copy !req
582. Take cover!Copy !req

609. Where's Franz?Copy !req
610. I've lost Franz!Copy !req
611. Katczinsky!
Secure the machine gun and retreat!Copy !req
612. We'll regroup in Eguisac,
two kilometres northeast of here.Copy !req
613. I am missing my comrades, Sergeant!Copy !req
614. And I miss my mother, damn it!Copy !req
615. Grenades! Ammunition! Let's go!Copy !req
616. Paul, come on!Copy !req
617. This isn't a negotiation.
This is a diktat.Copy !req
618. Maybe we should return to Spa
to consult with the general staff.Copy !req
619. And what good will that do?Copy !req
620. Even if we end up losing,Copy !req
621. we won't be any worse off
than with this surrender.Copy !req
622. Besides a few hundred thousand
more deaths.Copy !req
623. Alsace-Lorraine, occupation of the Rhine,
artillery, locomotives, trains.Copy !req
624. This is total capitulation!Copy !req
625. 250,000 Americans are landing
in Europe every month.Copy !req
626. Marne, Cantigny, Cambrai, all lost.Copy !req
627. The only thing separating us
from a ceasefire is false pride.Copy !req
628. It's time to deal with the mess
you and your generals have left us.Copy !req
629. But if you'd rather leave now, go ahead.Copy !req
630. We're staying here.Copy !req
631. It's winter.Copy !req
632. Without trains and provisions,
the Bolsheviks will overrun us.Copy !req
633. The men will starve on the way home,Copy !req
634. instead of dying with honour
on the battlefield.Copy !req
635. Honour?Copy !req
636. My son was killed in this war.
Where's his honour?Copy !req
637. Von Helldorf.Copy !req
638. Get a few copies of the Allied demands
and telegraph them to headquarters.Copy !req
639. Inform the government.Copy !req
640. We have 72 hours, gentlemen,Copy !req
641. and every minute we waste talking here,
another soldier dies.Copy !req
642. Let's find mercy where we can,
but for God's sake,Copy !req
643. let's end this war.Copy !req
644. Retreat!Copy !req
645. They're retreating! Barrage!Copy !req
646. Barrage!Copy !req
647. Be quiet!Copy !req
648. Shut up.Copy !req
649. Shut up!Copy !req
650. No!Copy !req
651. Comrade.Copy !req
652. Comrade.Copy !req
653. Comrade.Copy !req
654. I'm sorry.Copy !req
655. I'm sorry.Copy !req
656. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
657. House...Copy !req
658. Your wife...Copy !req
659. I promise.Copy !req
660. I pro...Copy !req

662. 1877, in June.Copy !req
663. A summer child.Copy !req
664. Yes.Copy !req
665. What does your father do?Copy !req
666. My family owns a manufactory in Holstein.Copy !req
667. What kind?Copy !req
668. Riding saddles, sir.Copy !req
669. Riding saddles.Copy !req
670. They'll always sell.Copy !req
671. Your future is safe.Copy !req
672. I'm very lucky.Copy !req
673. Well?Copy !req
674. Looking forward to going home?Copy !req
675. - When we're not needed here any more?
- Yes.Copy !req
676. There's a job waiting for me
after the war.Copy !req
677. I'll take over the business.Copy !req
678. Congratulations.Copy !req
679. What about you?Copy !req
680. I'm a soldier.Copy !req
681. My father was an officer in this regiment.Copy !req
682. He fought in three wars under Bismarck.Copy !req
683. He won all three.Copy !req
684. In 1871, he marched on Paris.Copy !req
685. He came home a hero.Copy !req
686. I was born too late, Brixdorf.Copy !req
687. Half a century without war.Copy !req
688. What is a soldier without war?Copy !req
689. Were you close to your father?Copy !req
690. As a child, perhaps.Copy !req
691. A man is born alone,Copy !req
692. he lives alone,Copy !req
693. and he dies alone.Copy !req
694. Come in.Copy !req
695. Von Helldorf, what is it?Copy !req
696. Hindenburg.Copy !req
697. Open it then.Copy !req
698. He urges us to sign.Copy !req
699. It's over!Copy !req
700. "... the sin of the world, have mercy on us."Copy !req
701. "Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world..."Copy !req
702. Knock on the monastery door,Copy !req
703. and you'll find only
thieves and scoundrels.Copy !req
704. It's over. The fat pigs have realised.Copy !req
705. They're negotiating at last.
We're going home soon, soldier!Copy !req
706. Where's the infirmary?Copy !req
707. - No!
- Just chloroform the man!Copy !req
708. Baumer.Copy !req
709. Baumer.Copy !req
710. Baumer.Copy !req
711. - Tjaden.
- Baumer.Copy !req
712. What happened? Where did you get hit?Copy !req
713. Above the knee.Copy !req
714. I think.Copy !req
715. I can't feel anything.Copy !req
716. How far above the knee was I shot?Copy !req
717. I can't lift my head.Copy !req
718. Ten centimetres at least.Copy !req
719. - You're going home, Tjaden.
- You think so?Copy !req
720. Yes, of course.Copy !req
721. How can I be a ranger like this?Copy !req
722. For Christ's sake!Copy !req
723. You still can.Copy !req
724. You'll see.Copy !req
725. I won't let them amputate.Copy !req
726. I won't live as a cripple.Copy !req
727. You won't have to.Copy !req
728. They've patched up much worse here.Copy !req
729. Oh, Paul.Copy !req
730. I'm supposed to give you something.Copy !req
731. Is he dead?Copy !req
732. You have to be brave now.Copy !req
733. You're alive.Copy !req
734. You have to be grateful for that.Copy !req
735. For us.Copy !req
736. For those who didn't make it.Copy !req
737. Be quiet.Copy !req
738. Listen, you can't say that. Not you.Copy !req
739. That would really suit you.Copy !req
740. Not until everyone's here...Copy !req
741. They're in the infirmary or mass graves.Copy !req
742. - Dish it up. We can smell it's done.
- I can't.Copy !req
743. Why not, you vagrant?Copy !req
744. I've cooked for 150.
| can't serve 80 men food for 150!Copy !req
745. Are you thick as pig shit?Copy !req
746. You've received provisions
for the second company.Copy !req
747. - We're the second company!
- Yes!Copy !req
748. So dish it out, full stop!Copy !req
749. Kat!Copy !req
750. - Kat!
- Paul!Copy !req
751. Kat!Copy !req
752. Paul!Copy !req
753. - Paul!
- Kat, you're alive!Copy !req
754. You're alive!Copy !req
755. Paul!Copy !req
756. Tjaden got hit.Copy !req
757. He's in the church.Copy !req
758. He'll get a double helping from us.Copy !req
759. - Yes.
- Come on.Copy !req
760. Careful.Copy !req
761. And one here too.Copy !req
762. Bloody hell, I thought you were dead.Copy !req
763. We'll all die at some point.Copy !req
764. But not on the home stretch.Copy !req
765. If you die before me, I'll kill you.Copy !req
766. Tjaden.Copy !req
767. Tjaden.Copy !req
768. Kat?Copy !req
769. Kat.Copy !req
770. We brought you some soup.Copy !req
771. Did you bring some cutlery?Copy !req
772. Yes, we brought some cutlery too.Copy !req
773. Enjoy it.Copy !req
774. No! Tjaden, stop! Stop it, Tjaden!Copy !req
775. Tjaden, no!Copy !req
776. We need help here!Copy !req
777. Why did you do that?Copy !req
778. Why?Copy !req
779. It's over, boys, it's over.Copy !req
780. He's bleeding out!Copy !req
781. Quiet.Copy !req
782. Tjaden.Copy !req
783. Tjaden.Copy !req
784. What is it?Copy !req
785. I've lost something.Copy !req
786. Kat, can you speak French?Copy !req
787. My mother wanted me to learn French.Copy !req
788. And piano.Copy !req
789. She didn't want me to go to war.Copy !req
790. "It's not for you," she always said.
"You'll be dead in no time."Copy !req
791. I wanted to show them I could do it.Copy !req
792. How does that help us now?Copy !req
793. "In a few weeks, we'll be in Paris."Copy !req
794. I can't discard two years
of hand grenades like a pair of socks.Copy !req
795. - Paul...
- We'll never get rid of the stench.Copy !req
796. - Enough.
- Ludwig's dead, Franz, Albert...Copy !req
797. What's it to us now?Copy !req
798. At least they're at peace. We're alive.Copy !req
799. All of this is like a fever.Copy !req
800. No one actually wants it,
but suddenly it's here.Copy !req
801. We didn't want it,
the others didn't want it.Copy !req
802. And yet, here we are.
And yet, half the world is here.Copy !req
803. And God watches onCopy !req
804. as we slaughter each other.Copy !req
805. Well...Copy !req
806. But what do I know?Copy !req
807. I know nothing.Copy !req
808. I'm a pair of boots with a rifle.Copy !req
809. Get some sleep. We got lucky.Copy !req
810. Yes.Copy !req
811. Kat?Copy !req
812. What did your son die of?Copy !req
813. Smallpox.Copy !req
814. I'm afraid of what's to come.Copy !req
815. Don't be.Copy !req
816. Henri.Copy !req
817. Taste it.Copy !req
818. Are they fresh?Copy !req
819. I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think so.Copy !req
820. Monsieur le Maréchal.Copy !req
821. I'm listening.Copy !req
822. The Kaiser has abdicated.Copy !req
823. Soldiers are refusing to obey orders.
Deserters are roaming the countryside.Copy !req
824. The new government will do its utmost
to fulfil the duties imposed on it,Copy !req
825. but the population,
through no fault of its own,Copy !req
826. risks descending into famine and anarchy.Copy !req
827. This is a disease of the defeated,
not of the victorious.Copy !req
828. I don't fear it. I reject any compromise.Copy !req
829. Monsieur le Marechal, please.Copy !req
830. Be fair to your enemy,
otherwise he will hate this peace.Copy !req
831. Fair?Copy !req
832. You speak of fairness?Copy !req
833. Sign it.Copy !req
834. Let the minutes recordCopy !req
835. that the armistice
will take effect in six hoursCopy !req
836. at the 11th hour
on the 11th day of the 11th month.Copy !req
837. Very good.Copy !req
838. The war is over.Copy !req
839. What will you do now?Copy !req
840. What do you see here, Brixdorf?Copy !req
841. The plains of Latierre, sir.Copy !req
842. Eguisac.Copy !req
843. I see them too.Copy !req
844. And German soldiers
running away like rabbits.Copy !req
845. The French are farting
into our posts in Latierre,Copy !req
846. and out there is a train
full of horse fuckers,Copy !req
847. selling off our homeland.Copy !req
848. Withdraw the recruits from all posts.
Have them assemble in the courtyard.Copy !req
849. We're going to sort out this shitty mess!Copy !req
850. Any communication with the enemy
remains prohibited.Copy !req
851. Firstly, hostilities
on the entire front will cease today,Copy !req
852. 11th November,
at 11 o'clock in the morning.Copy !req
853. Secondly, troops will not cross the lines
held on this day, at this hour.Copy !req
854. The lines will be accurately marked...Copy !req
855. What time is it?Copy !req
856. - Why aren't you sleeping?
- Listen.Copy !req
857. It's so quiet here.Copy !req
858. I think I've gone deaf.Copy !req
859. They've signed, Paul.Copy !req
860. The war's over.Copy !req
861. It's over.Copy !req
862. Are you hungry?Copy !req
863. I'm hungry.Copy !req
864. Where are you going?Copy !req
865. Come on, before the bastard wakes up.Copy !req
866. - What are you doing for Christmas, Paul?
- I don't know.Copy !req
867. I'm roasting a goose.Copy !req
868. With red cabbage, potatoes.Copy !req
869. Then I'll light all the candles
and kiss my wife.Copy !req
870. My God, Paul. My wife, she's beautiful.Copy !req
871. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
872. - What does she look like?
- Well...Copy !req
873. Long, dark, curly hair.Copy !req
874. And she's round and strong.Copy !req
875. Yeah?Copy !req
876. Christmas.Copy !req
877. It's all so far away.Copy !req
878. But it isn't. It's very soon.Copy !req
879. We want another child. Children, Paul.Copy !req
880. Because what's Christmas without children?
It's nothing.Copy !req
881. You know, once...Copy !req
882. Once we're back home, then...Copy !req
883. - Yeah?
- We'll do something big.Copy !req
884. The two of us together, okay?Copy !req
885. Well...Copy !req
886. What?Copy !req
887. I'm a cobbler, Paul. I repair shoes.Copy !req
888. Yeah? You can read, write.
You have your school diplomas.Copy !req
889. Didn't do me any good.Copy !req
890. What are we going to do?Copy !req
891. Nail soles on shoes together?Copy !req
892. Are you trying to insult me?Copy !req
893. I can't even read a letter from my wife.Copy !req
894. Go to college, Paul.Copy !req
895. Or I'll shoot you right here.Copy !req
896. My trousers are falling down.Copy !req
897. My trousers are loose.Copy !req
898. You'll just have to eat a little.Copy !req
899. Soon we'll be home,
then we can eat what we want.Copy !req
900. Whatever we want.Copy !req
901. It's your turn.Copy !req
902. If the farmer catches me again,Copy !req
903. he'll shoot me.Copy !req
904. Watch out for the damn dog.Copy !req
905. Yeah.Copy !req
906. Look.Copy !req
907. It's really good.Copy !req
908. Want some?Copy !req
909. Shit.Copy !req
910. Hey!Copy !req
911. Stop!Copy !req
912. Kat! Run!Copy !req
913. Bastard!Copy !req
914. Damn.Copy !req
915. Oh, crap.Copy !req
