the parcels stopping.Copy !req

111. Hurry up, our guests will be hungry.Copy !req
112. Same old thing! Old boots again!Copy !req
113. What are the French eating?Copy !req

132. mackerel in wine?Copy !req
133. Quite a menu!Copy !req
134. Don't they feed us?Copy !req
135. They do in theory,
in fact it's uneatable.Copy !req
136. Fortunately there are our parcels,
especially Rosenthal's.Copy !req
137. Please...Copy !req
138. A drop of cognac as an aperitif?Copy !req
139. Why not?Copy !req
140. I've never eaten so well in my life!Copy !req
141. - Some fish?
- Yes, please.Copy !req
142. I'm starting to take
Rosenthal's kindness for granted.Copy !req

- A week ago.Copy !req
159. Lucky chap! Many people there?Copy !req
160. Maxim's was crowded.Copy !req
161. I never go to places like that...Copy !req
162. I prefer a quiet spot...
with good wine.Copy !req
163. - Maxim's... never been there.
- You're not missing much.Copy !req
164. We know you eat
at your brother-in-law's.Copy !req
165. - Hey!
- What is it?Copy !req
166. Is he there... the monocle?Copy !req
167. I've just come from the canteen.
About his armchair...Copy !req
168. Nothing doing.Copy !req
169. I'll tell him.Copy !req
170. Nice chap, the one with the parcels.
Well-off, too.Copy !req
171. - You bet!
- You know the Rosenthal bankers?Copy !req
172. That's his family.Copy !req
173. Am I tickling?Copy !req
174. What's he do?Copy !req
175. He's a dress designer.Copy !req
176. Funny idea. If I'd all that money...Copy !req
177. What did you do in civvy street?Copy !req
178. Engineer, Ordnance Survey.Copy !req
179. Between ourselves... Can your pal,
the Captain, be trusted?Copy !req
180. He may seem odd,
but he's a decent chap.Copy !req
181. You can trust him all right.Copy !req
182. - Fine, then.
- Why?Copy !req
183. You see... we're digging a tunnel.Copy !req
184. What for?Copy !req
185. To escape.Copy !req
186. What do you dig with?Copy !req
187. With a coal shovel, old cans...Copy !req
188. We should come up in a garden...Copy !req
189. behind those buildings...
It's open country.Copy !req
190. Slow work.Copy !req
191. We've been at it for two months.
We only need a few more weeks.Copy !req
192. The war'll be over first!Copy !req
193. That's an illusion.Copy !req
194. Think so?Copy !req
195. Best to be prepared.Copy !req
196. Where's the tunnel?Copy !req
197. You'll see tonight, after roll-call.Copy !req
198. So you're digging a hole...Copy !req
199. like Monte Cristo, what a laugh!Copy !req
200. Thanks for your help.Copy !req
201. Well, you can't do it with your arm.Copy !req
202. I'd like to ask you something.Copy !req
203. What's the Ordnance Survey?Copy !req
204. - Maréchal!
- Present!Copy !req
205. - Boeldieu!
- Captain de Boeldieu, please.Copy !req
206. Present! I want my present!Copy !req
207. - Whose turn is it?
- Cartier.Copy !req
208. Mine!Copy !req
209. What's that?Copy !req
210. It's to help breathe,
needs lengthening.Copy !req
211. And those bags?Copy !req
212. They're to collect the earth.Copy !req
213. And this?Copy !req
214. This is the alarm.Copy !req
215. If I'm suffocating...
I pull the string...Copy !req
216. The tin falls...Copy !req
217. the others pull me out by the legs.Copy !req
218. What are you waiting for?Copy !req
219. Now for my mole act!Copy !req
220. A mole in a hole!Copy !req
221. Is the tunnel safe?Copy !req
222. It's shored up with wooden props.Copy !req
223. And the earth?Copy !req
224. We've been stuffing it
under the floor,Copy !req
225. but there's no more room.Copy !req
226. So we fill bags
and empty them outside.Copy !req
227. Hear that?Copy !req
228. I'm sure I heard something.Copy !req
229. Nothing.Copy !req
230. And again...Copy !req
231. We'll send someone out
to reconnoitre.Copy !req
232. You slip out and take a look around.Copy !req
233. I'll pretend to go to the lavatory.Copy !req
234. What happened, Mr Arthur?Copy !req
235. He tried to escape.Copy !req
236. He was caught in the gardens
behind those buildings...Copy !req
237. and shot.Copy !req
238. Out there?Copy !req
239. - Is he dead?
- I think so.Copy !req
240. - Anyway, what are you doing out?
- Me?Copy !req
241. Going to the lavatory.Copy !req
242. - What was it?
- Someone tried to escape.Copy !req
243. He got as far as the gardens
behind the buildings.Copy !req
244. A sentry shot at him.Copy !req
245. He's dead.Copy !req
246. Look, the alarm...Copy !req
247. - No answer.
- Let's pull him out.Copy !req
248. Are you hurt?Copy !req
249. Drink some cognac.Copy !req
250. From Fouquet's.Copy !req
251. Cheers... don't take it away!Copy !req
252. Whose turn is it tomorrow?Copy !req
253. Yours, Sir... if you don't mind.Copy !req
254. With pleasure, I need some exercise.Copy !req
255. It is strictly forbiddenCopy !req
256. to appear in anything
except military uniform...Copy !req
257. Dismissed.Copy !req
258. Good news?Copy !req
259. My aunt writes from BordeauxCopy !req
260. that they're crowded out.Copy !req
261. What do you think?Copy !req
262. They'd better watch out,Copy !req
263. it says here
there's a big Boche push.Copy !req
264. There haven't been any celebrations
so it can't mean much.Copy !req
265. Coming gardening?Copy !req
266. If you like.Copy !req
267. German bulletins are so exaggerated.Copy !req
268. So are ours.Copy !req
269. Remember the Russian steam-roller?Copy !req
270. Don't you think it's time
we got down to... serious work?Copy !req
271. But not all together.Copy !req
272. Give me your tools.Copy !req
273. And General Winter,Copy !req
274. who'd kill off the wicked BocheCopy !req
275. but act as a tonic for the Allies.Copy !req
276. And "turpinite",
remember "turpinite"?Copy !req
277. A container as big as a...
a radish... could blow up an army.Copy !req
278. Why, they'd tried it
on flocks of sheep.Copy !req
279. Pity they didn't stop at that!Copy !req
280. What've you planted here?Copy !req
281. Dandelions.Copy !req
282. I dream of dandelion salad.Copy !req
283. The war'll be over
before your dandelions sprout.Copy !req
284. Don't be so sure.Copy !req
285. This curious exercise
will give us laborer's hands.Copy !req
286. The hampers have come!Copy !req
287. - The costumes?
- They're at the theatre.Copy !req
288. One is full of women's clothes!Copy !req
289. Coming, Sir?Copy !req
290. No, I've no talent for theatricals.
Besides, I'm busy.Copy !req
291. - A game of patience?
- Exactly. I'm a realist.Copy !req
292. Well, Arthur, found anything?Copy !req
293. Nothing...Copy !req
294. Well, gentlemen, enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
295. Easy does it!Copy !req
296. Where will we put all this?Copy !req
297. I don't know.
I asked for hangers too.Copy !req
298. There must be some... Here!Copy !req
299. Careful!Copy !req
300. These things must be
handled gently...Copy !req
301. with closed eyes!Copy !req
302. Real dresses.Copy !req
303. Looks like a child's dress.Copy !req
304. Women's skirts are short now.Copy !req
305. Just below the knee.Copy !req
306. So I heard, I wish I could see them!Copy !req
307. Put it on!Copy !req
308. Not him, he's badly shaven.Copy !req
309. - You, angel-face.
- If it amuses you...Copy !req
310. Here, take this.Copy !req
311. We'll have to do a full inventory.Copy !req
312. There's this too.Copy !req
313. - And the corset!
- Careful!Copy !req
314. They wear their hair short too.Copy !req
315. Short hair!Copy !req
316. Must seem like sleeping with a boy!Copy !req
317. When the cat's away
the mice will play!Copy !req
318. I'm sure my wife
hasn't cut her hair...Copy !req
319. That's just for the bits of fluff.Copy !req
320. How would you know,
with that mug?Copy !req
321. Shoes!Copy !req
322. I'd forgotten they were so small.Copy !req
323. Stockings!Copy !req
324. Silk stockings!Copy !req
325. I'm ready, boys.Copy !req
326. Don't disturb our dreams yet.Copy !req
327. If we see you,
it'll ruin our illusions.Copy !req
328. They're beautiful. Black stockings!Copy !req
329. A real girl!Copy !req
330. Funny, isn't it?
Don't you think it looks funny?Copy !req
331. It really does look funny.Copy !req
332. Poor lads.Copy !req
333. Enjoy yourselves.Copy !req
334. On one side,
children play at soldiers...Copy !req
335. On the other,
soldiers play like children.Copy !req
336. I wish I knew what's going on
at my home.Copy !req
337. - No news?
- Nothing.Copy !req
338. I don't care
what my old woman's doing.Copy !req
339. I want to clear out
from sheer boredom.Copy !req
340. You want to escape for the fun of it.Copy !req
341. In my case, it's contrariness.Copy !req
342. Now that I may not fight, I long to.Copy !req
343. I just follow the crowd.
I'd rather do my bit with the rest.Copy !req
344. I see no problem.Copy !req
345. A golf course is for golf...
A tennis court for tennis...Copy !req
346. A prison camp for escape.Copy !req
347. What do you say, as a sportsman?Copy !req
348. Him! He was born in Jerusalem!Copy !req
349. Wrong, Vienna! My mother was Danish,
my father Polish, naturalized French.Copy !req
350. Good old French aristocracy!Copy !req
351. And yet for all
your old French stock,Copy !req
352. not one of you owns
an acre of France.Copy !req
353. In 35 years,
the Rosenthals have acquired...Copy !req
354. three historic castles
and all that goes with them:Copy !req
355. hunting, farmland and horses.Copy !req
356. And 3 galleries of genuine ancestors.Copy !req
357. Believe me, it's worth escaping
to fight for that.Copy !req
358. I had never considered patriotismCopy !req
359. from that rather special
point of view.Copy !req
360. Your staffCopy !req
361. must feed like fighting cocks.Copy !req
362. I got into it in a funny way.Copy !req
363. I became a soldier
because I'm a vegetarian.Copy !req
364. That's right. My brother and I
had weak stomachs...Copy !req
365. The doctor warned us off meat.Copy !req
366. I turned vegetarian and was cured...Copy !req
367. My brother went on eating meat...Copy !req
368. He fell ill and was invalided out.Copy !req
369. Your decorations show vegetarianism
didn't interfere with duty.Copy !req
370. It didn't stop my wife
sleeping around either.Copy !req
371. You must admit it's stirring.Copy !req
372. I can't stand fifes.Copy !req
373. Whatever you say, it gets you.Copy !req
374. It isn't the music that gets you...Copy !req
375. It's the marching feet.Copy !req
376. With all this yapping,
my trousers are ruined!Copy !req
377. FORT DOUAUMONT
HAS FALLEN!Copy !req
378. Do we put on the show
just the same?Copy !req
379. Rather! We certainly do!Copy !req
380. In fact we should invite
the German officers.Copy !req
381. Although I don't share
your artistic interests, Maréchal...Copy !req
382. I congratulate you... Good show!Copy !req
383. Do you know Marguerite?
She's not big and she's not smallCopy !req
384. With arousing eyes
And a mouth like a child'sCopy !req
385. When I told this beauty
That I loved herCopy !req
386. She gave me flowers
And called me a jokerCopy !req
387. I said, "Thanks for the flowers
But that's not what I wantCopy !req
388. "If you want to make me happy
MargueriteCopy !req
389. "If you want to make me happyCopy !req
390. "Marguerite, give me your heart!"Copy !req
391. That same evening by the windowCopy !req
392. I sang to make her appearCopy !req
393. "I'm sad because your pretty eyes
Have set my heart alight!"Copy !req
394. She, out of sheer kindness
To put out my flameCopy !req
395. Threw a bucket of water over me
And said, "Happy now?"Copy !req
396. I said, "Thanks for the bucket
But that's not what I wantCopy !req
397. "If you want to make me happy
MargueriteCopy !req
398. "If you want to make me happyCopy !req
399. "Marguerite, give me your heart!"Copy !req
400. All together now!Copy !req
401. And now... to Paris!Copy !req
402. Get it, Arthur?Copy !req
403. Stop it!Copy !req
404. We've retaken Douaumont!
They announce it themselves!Copy !req
405. What's the idea?Copy !req
406. A little hole, to escape by.Copy !req
407. Open this door!Copy !req
408. Let me go! Leave me alone!Copy !req
409. DOUAUMONT RE-OCCUPIED
BY GERMAN TROOPSCopy !req
410. Did you see? It's terrible.Copy !req
411. Can't be much left of it!Copy !req
412. Why, what's wrong?
Not hungry today?Copy !req
413. Leave me alone! I can't take it
any longer! I'm fed up!Copy !req
414. I want to see daylight!Copy !req
415. It stinks in here!
You hear, it stinks!Copy !req
416. And I want to hear
a friendly voice...Copy !req
417. I want to hear French spoken...Copy !req
418. I want to hear French spoken,
do you hear?Copy !req
419. Why was he shouting?Copy !req
420. The war's lasting too long...Copy !req
421. If my calculations are right...Copy !req
422. in four days,
we'll be beyond the garden wall.Copy !req
423. It means plenty of bags of earth!Copy !req
424. Now we've a chance of escapingCopy !req
425. and reaching home again
I'm afraid of what I'll find.Copy !req
426. There's more than
one woman on earth!Copy !req
427. Not for me.Copy !req
428. That's why she sleeps around.Copy !req
429. One thing upsets me,
leaving Maréchal behind.Copy !req
430. I dislike it too.Copy !req
431. In fact... it irks me.Copy !req
432. Sentiment has no place in war.Copy !req
433. Good to see you, old man.Copy !req
434. Same here.
I'll tell you why in a minute.Copy !req
435. Tell me, old man...Copy !req
436. Is there anything to eat?
I'm hungry...Copy !req
437. Sit down.
Rosenthal's making some food.Copy !req
438. What's the time?Copy !req
439. Eleven o'clock.Copy !req
440. How time drags today!Copy !req
441. Never mind, tonight it's goodbye.Copy !req
442. See you in Amsterdam.Copy !req
443. I'm looking forward to the tulips
in Holland.Copy !req
444. What about the cheese?
Don't you like Dutch cheese?Copy !req
445. Yes, but apparently the tulip fields
stretch for miles and miles.Copy !req
446. You're as romantic as a girl.Copy !req
447. General roll-call at three.Copy !req
448. All officers are to change camp.Copy !req
449. Get your things ready.Copy !req
450. A pleasant journey, gentlemen...Copy !req
451. And I hope you will soon see
your wives again.Copy !req
452. Perhaps we should warn them.Copy !req
453. - About what?
- The hole.Copy !req
454. About the tunnel.Copy !req
455. Careful.Copy !req
456. We dug a tunnel in room 7, Sir.Copy !req
457. A tunnel for escaping.Copy !req
458. You not speak French.
Hole dug. To escape.Copy !req
459. Get back in line!Copy !req
460. OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N° 2Copy !req
461. OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N° 9Copy !req
462. OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N° 14Copy !req
463. Open the window, it stinks in here.Copy !req
464. I'm afraid there are only two pairs
of white gloves left, Sir.Copy !req
465. And we can't get any more,Copy !req
466. so try and make them last.Copy !req
467. Yes, Sir... Some more coffee, Sir?Copy !req
468. If you call that muck coffee,
it's all right with me.Copy !req
469. At least it will warm me up.Copy !req
470. The list of new prisoners, Sir.Copy !req
471. The new prisoners are here.Copy !req
472. Three new prisoner-of-war officers
reporting, Sir!Copy !req
473. Hello, gentlemen.Copy !req
474. Delighted to see you again,
Boeldieu...Copy !req
475. But sorry it should be here.Copy !req
476. We too...Copy !req
477. Sit down, gentlemen.Copy !req
478. No, thank you, Sir.Copy !req
479. At ease.Copy !req
480. Captain de Boeldieu.Copy !req
481. Four attempts at escape...Copy !req
482. Via the boiler-room, a refuse pit...Copy !req
483. Through the sewers,
in a laundry basket.Copy !req
484. Humility is sometimes a necessity...Copy !req
485. I understand.Copy !req
486. Lieutenant Maréchal,
five attempts at escape.Copy !req
487. Disguised as a sweep...Copy !req
488. Pardon, Sir, hot-air expert.Copy !req
489. Disguised as a German soldier,Copy !req
490. disguised as a woman.Copy !req
491. Very funny, very funny indeed...Copy !req
492. Not so funny when an N.C.O. took me
for a woman, not to my taste at all!Copy !req
493. - Really?
- Honestly!Copy !req
494. Lieutenant Demolder,
three attempts...Copy !req
495. Gentlemen,Copy !req
496. I respect your patriotism
and courage.Copy !req
497. But here the situation
is completely different.Copy !req
498. No one can escape from this fortress.Copy !req
499. You understand me, don't you?Copy !req
500. So there can be no accusations
of German barbarism,Copy !req
501. I decided to apply
French regulations.Copy !req
502. Read it.Copy !req
503. It makes good night-time reading.Copy !req
504. And now, gentlemen,
if you will follow me...Copy !req
505. Oswald, my coat!Copy !req
506. My men are not young,Copy !req
507. but they enjoy playing soldiers.Copy !req
508. We have 25 like that.Copy !req
509. I suppose you know
the Maxim's gun?Copy !req
510. Very well, Sir.Copy !req
511. I prefer the restaurant.Copy !req
512. Is that a dig at me?Copy !req
513. Twelfth century.Copy !req
514. Excuse me, Sir, but...Copy !req
515. was this villa built specially
for Captain de Boeldieu and myself?Copy !req
516. Sorry?Copy !req
517. Are we your only guests?Copy !req
518. No.Copy !req
519. Your comrades are behind there.Copy !req
520. Thirteenth...Copy !req
521. A drop of 120 feet.Copy !req
522. Very kind of you
to show us round your place.Copy !req
523. A very handsome castle...Copy !req
524. So old...Copy !req
525. And so cheerful...Copy !req
526. So sorry I can't give you
a room to yourself.Copy !req
527. Thank you, but I would not have
accepted in any case.Copy !req
528. I trust the walk did not tire you.Copy !req
529. Not at all, Sir, we're fine.Copy !req
530. - Fourteenth...
- It's pure Gothic.Copy !req
531. Excuse me. We have to search you.Copy !req
532. Your friend Lieutenant Rosenthal
from Heilbard Camp is here.Copy !req
533. - Good old Rosenthal!
- We've the same bad luck!Copy !req
534. You are to share the same room.Copy !req
535. That way you will have better food.Copy !req
536. That's nice. Really nice.Copy !req
537. A mere formality.Copy !req
538. I'll tell the Commander anyway.
Look at that!Copy !req
539. - In my case, it was a brunette.
- Who can you trust?Copy !req
540. A friend of my mother's.
She did a lot for charity.Copy !req
541. Bad luck, it's not a very common
disease in high society.Copy !req
542. Eh, Boeldieu?Copy !req
543. Yes...
but it's a vanishing privilege.Copy !req
544. Like so much else,Copy !req
545. it's become popularized.Copy !req
546. Cancer and gout are not
working-class diseases, but...Copy !req
547. they will be, believe me.Copy !req
548. How about intellectuals?Copy !req
549. In our case, it's tuberculosis.Copy !req
550. Here's Mr Pindar!Copy !req
551. And the middle-class?Copy !req
552. Liver ulcers... they eat too much.Copy !req
553. We'd each die
of our own class ailment,Copy !req
554. if war didn't make all germs equal.Copy !req
555. Your dictionaries are in my way.Copy !req
556. Forgive me,Copy !req
557. but Pindar has always been
so badly translated...Copy !req
558. A sad oversight.
I am broken-hearted.Copy !req
559. Not that I care
but who is Pindar?Copy !req
560. Joke away! But he means more to me
than your life,Copy !req
561. the war, or my own life!Copy !req
562. Pindar is the greatest Greek poet.Copy !req
563. The greatest Greek poet?Copy !req
564. Well, I'm blowed...Copy !req
565. There! My map's
as near as dammit complete.Copy !req
566. See... this is where we are.Copy !req
567. 16 miles above this bend of the Main.Copy !req
568. To enter Switzerland
above Lake ConstanceCopy !req
569. and bypass the Rhine,
we'll have to cover...Copy !req
570. - 200 miles.
- No kidding?Copy !req
571. Reckon 15 nights forced march,Copy !req
572. on 6 lumps of sugar
and 2 biscuits a day.Copy !req
573. You're as crazy as he is
with his Pindar!Copy !req
574. To get out of this place...Copy !req
575. There! My picture's finished.Copy !req
576. Justice Pursues Crime...Copy !req
577. Not bad is it?Copy !req
578. Look here,
to get to Lake Constance...Copy !req
579. Will it hold?Copy !req
580. It'll take 10 of you and 5 like me!Copy !req
581. They're searching the rooms.Copy !req
582. - υnder the mattress, quick!
- No, under mine!Copy !req
583. That's no good!Copy !req
584. Too obvious.Copy !req
585. May I?Copy !req
586. What a brainwave!Copy !req
587. A very handy little gutter.Copy !req
588. Here they are!Copy !req
589. Gentlemen, room inspection!Copy !req
590. Louise wrote to Victor:Copy !req
591. "I am as weary as a girl
after twenty-two nights of love..."Copy !req
592. Twenty-two nights of love,
imagine it!Copy !req
593. Continue!Copy !req
594. This part won't be searched!Copy !req
595. Give me your word that there is
nothing in here against regulations.Copy !req
596. You have my word.Copy !req
597. But why mine rather than the others?Copy !req
598. The word of a...Copy !req
599. Rosenthal?Copy !req
600. Or a Maréchal?Copy !req
601. Their word is as good as ours.Copy !req
602. Maybe.Copy !req
603. No, not that book!Copy !req
604. It's very rare.Copy !req
605. Poor old Pindar!Copy !req
606. They're so ignorant...Copy !req
607. Did it go all right for you here?Copy !req
608. - Not bad.
- For us too.Copy !req
609. And how's your cousin,
Edmond de Boeldieu,Copy !req
610. who was Military Attaché in Berlin?Copy !req
611. He is well and happy.Copy !req
612. He lost an arm
and married a very rich wife.Copy !req
613. A fine career!Copy !req
614. Remember her?Copy !req
615. Sit down.Copy !req
616. I'll tell you something...Copy !req
617. Believe me...Copy !req
618. my present jobCopy !req
619. disgusts me as much as you.Copy !req
620. Strong words.Copy !req
621. I used to be a fighter...Copy !req
622. Now I am a civil servant...
a policeman.Copy !req
623. But it's the only wayCopy !req
624. in which I can still...Copy !req
625. appear to be serving my country.Copy !req
626. Burns everywhere.
That is why I wear gloves.Copy !req
627. Spine fractured in two places.Copy !req
628. A silver plate.Copy !req
629. My knee-cap is silver too.Copy !req
630. This wealth I owe
to the fortunes of war.Copy !req
631. - May I ask a question?
- Of course.Copy !req
632. Why did you make...Copy !req
633. an exception for me...Copy !req
634. inviting me here?Copy !req
635. You are a de Boeldieu,
a regular officer of the French Army.Copy !req
636. And I a Rauffenstein, a regular
officer of the Imperial German Army.Copy !req
637. But... my friends are officers too.Copy !req
638. A Maréchal and a Rosenthal,
officers?Copy !req
639. Good soldiers...Copy !req
640. Thanks to your French Revolution!Copy !req
641. I fear neither you nor I
can arrest the march of time.Copy !req
642. I don't know
who will win this war...Copy !req
643. The end, whatever it may be,Copy !req
644. will mean the end of
the Rauffensteins and the Boeldieux.Copy !req
645. We may be superfluous.Copy !req
646. And don't you find it a pity?Copy !req
647. Perhaps...Copy !req
648. I admire your care of your geranium.Copy !req
649. Not because
I have turned botanist.Copy !req
650. But it is the castle's only flower.Copy !req
651. The only things that thrive here
are ivy and nettles.Copy !req
652. I'm glad I'm leaving with you.Copy !req
653. With us.Copy !req
654. Mind you, I like Boeldieu, but...Copy !req
655. When I'm with him...Copy !req
656. I never feel completely at ease...Copy !req
657. Education, I suppose,
but there's a barrier between us.Copy !req
658. He's a fine type.Copy !req
659. Agreed, and he's very decent, but...Copy !req
660. Suppose you and I were broke,Copy !req
661. we'd both be beggars...Copy !req
662. If it happened to him,Copy !req
663. he'd still be Monsieur de Boeldieu.Copy !req
664. Anyway, haven't you been decent,Copy !req
665. feeding us with your parcels?Copy !req
666. That's vanity...Copy !req
667. I'm really proud of my rich family,Copy !req
668. and I invite you
in order to show off.Copy !req
669. Our great fault is said to be greed,Copy !req
670. we're often generous...Copy !req
671. unluckily, to balance this quality,Copy !req
672. Jehovah gave us
an overdose of pride.Copy !req
673. I don't give a hang for Jehovah!Copy !req
674. All I know is you're a good pal.Copy !req
675. Comrades! Gentlemen!Copy !req
676. We've received a large hamper,Copy !req
677. from the Empress.Copy !req
678. Please come and share in it.Copy !req
679. From the Empress?
It must be caviar.Copy !req
680. - Come on, they've got some vodka!
- Vodka? With pleasure.Copy !req
681. We shall be able to return
your many kindnesses.Copy !req
682. The Empress is a generous lady.Copy !req
683. A swell gal!Copy !req
684. Let the fun begin!Copy !req
685. Books.Copy !req
686. Principles of Algebra,
Elementary Ethics, Grammar...Copy !req
687. A cookery book!Copy !req
688. Something to get your teeth into!Copy !req
689. Quite unbelievable!Copy !req
690. Come on, there's going to be trouble.Copy !req
691. Goodbye and thanks anyway.Copy !req
692. - The Cossacks are in a tizzy!
- It's hotting up now!Copy !req
693. You have no right to burn books!Copy !req
694. The guards are busy
with the Russians.Copy !req
695. It's high here, but no one around.Copy !req
696. What a chance if we'd been ready!Copy !req
697. - Growing dark too!
- We'll just have to do it again.Copy !req
698. Very kind of them to rehearse us!Copy !req
699. Now we know if one man causes
a stir and keeps it up for 5 minutes,Copy !req
700. his friends could escape.Copy !req
701. - Too risky!
- Don't let's exaggerate.Copy !req
702. I should enjoy it.Copy !req
703. When do you want to start?Copy !req
704. Why us? You're in it too.Copy !req
705. No, Maréchal.Copy !req
706. Why not? Don't you trust us?Copy !req
707. - That wouldn't stop me.
- Well then?Copy !req
708. A plan like yours
can only succeed with two...Copy !req
709. And you get on well together...Copy !req
710. - It's unfair.
- What's fair in war?Copy !req
711. We can't accept.Copy !req
712. I'm not asking advice,Copy !req
713. I've made my decision.Copy !req
714. The Arts aren't forbidden here...Copy !req
715. You like music?Copy !req
716. So-so... I like a good waltz.Copy !req
717. I adore the flute...Copy !req
718. Here's the program...
We'll buy flutes for everyone.Copy !req
719. Each room will give
a concert at 5p.m...Copy !req
720. It grows dark then.Copy !req
721. Five minutes later
the flutes will be confiscated.Copy !req
722. At 5.15,Copy !req
723. new concert
with everything available.Copy !req
724. Saucepans, animal cries,Copy !req
725. grinding of teeth, anything...Copy !req
726. roll-call in the courtyard.Copy !req
727. Then?Copy !req
728. That's my affair.
You'll have five minutes...Copy !req
729. to clear the walls
and reach the woods.Copy !req
730. Listen...Copy !req
731. I don't know how to put it,
but... I feel awfully bad about it.Copy !req
732. - Come now...
- I do.Copy !req
733. I'd like to say something...Copy !req
734. Rinse my gloves
with some warm water, will you...Copy !req
735. Whatever happens,
I want you to know that...Copy !req
736. But... I'm not doing it
for you personally.Copy !req
737. So no need to become sentimental.Copy !req
738. Go on.Copy !req
739. But there are times...Copy !req
740. Let's avoid them, shall we?Copy !req
741. Excuse me.Copy !req
742. So you'll be wearing those?Copy !req
743. Any objections?Copy !req
744. No, but the idea of wearing
white gloves wouldn't occur to me.Copy !req
745. We all react differently.Copy !req
746. You can't do anything
like other people!Copy !req
747. We've been together
eighteen months,Copy !req
748. and you still stand on ceremony.Copy !req
749. I am the same with my mother
and my wife.Copy !req
750. Well...Copy !req
751. Cigarette?Copy !req
752. No thanks, English tobacco
gives me a sore-throat.Copy !req
753. It's quite obvious!
Gloves, tobacco...Copy !req
754. We've nothing in common.Copy !req
755. We've got things in hand here...Copy !req
756. Of course, the old manCopy !req
757. is quite mad with his organ
and flower-pot!Copy !req
758. A good thing I'm here to control
that gang of lunatics...Copy !req
759. Before the war,
I was a schoolmaster.Copy !req
760. Lieutenant, confiscate
those damn flutes at once!Copy !req
761. I advise you not to start again!Copy !req
762. We'll do just that in 15 minutes.Copy !req
763. Your orders have been
carried out, Sir.Copy !req
764. You see, all's well.Copy !req
765. And now, three days on bread
and water and no mail!Copy !req
766. Get ready, men. Two seconds...Copy !req
767. General roll-call!Copy !req
768. I've never had so much fun.Copy !req
769. Long may it last.Copy !req
770. Well...Copy !req
771. What?Copy !req
772. Goodbye.Copy !req
773. Boeldieu!Copy !req
774. Listen!Copy !req
775. I beg you, come back!Copy !req
776. Lieutenants Maréchal and Rosenthal
have escaped!Copy !req
777. So that was why.Copy !req
778. Switch on the searchlights!Copy !req
779. Send out patrols with dogs!Copy !req
780. Alert all military
and civil authorities.Copy !req
781. Report to me every quarter
of an hour.Copy !req
782. Your orders have been
carried out, Sir.Copy !req
783. No trace of the fugitives yet.Copy !req
784. Thank you.Copy !req
785. Forgive me...Copy !req
786. I would have done the same.Copy !req
787. French or German... duty is duty.Copy !req
788. Are you in pain?Copy !req
789. I didn't think
a stomach wound hurt so.Copy !req
790. I aimed at your leg.Copy !req
791. The visibility was bad...Copy !req
792. Besides... I was running.Copy !req
793. Please don't excuse me...Copy !req
794. I bungled it.Copy !req
795. Of us two,
I am not most to be pitied.Copy !req
796. For me it will all be over...Copy !req
797. soon...Copy !req
798. But you have to carry on.Copy !req
799. Carry on a futile existence...Copy !req
800. To be killed in a war
is a tragedy for a commoner.Copy !req
801. For you... and me...Copy !req
802. it's a good way out.Copy !req
803. I missed my chance...Copy !req
804. Don't try to talk too much.Copy !req
805. We shouldn't stay so near the road!Copy !req
806. The reeds were too wet to sleep in.Copy !req
807. He's gone.Copy !req
808. It was a woman!Copy !req
809. - Come on.
- Wait till dark.Copy !req
810. I'm frozen, I must move about.Copy !req
811. Do you want your sugar?Copy !req
812. There's not much left.Copy !req
813. And we've a long way to go.Copy !req
814. - What about you?
- I had mine before, I was hungry.Copy !req
815. You keep it, so I won't be tempted.Copy !req
816. Poor chap...
Did you eat your buttons?Copy !req
817. Does it show?Copy !req
818. Aren't we going to wait till dark?Copy !req
819. No, we'll just skirt the village.Copy !req
820. Foot hurting?Copy !req
821. It's nothing... a nerve.Copy !req
822. Well, are you coming?Copy !req
823. Are you coming or aren't you?Copy !req
824. I'm doing my best.Copy !req
825. You and your foot!Copy !req
826. Not my fault! I slipped!Copy !req
827. You slipped!
I'm sick of hearing it!Copy !req
828. Is that what you'll say
if we're caught?Copy !req
829. Clumsy oaf! We've no food,
may as well give ourselves up.Copy !req
830. - Willingly, I'm fed up too!
- With me?Copy !req
831. Yes, fed up!
If you knew how I hate you!Copy !req
832. I promise you it's mutual.Copy !req
833. You're a dead weight round my neck!Copy !req
834. Anyway I never could stick Jews!Copy !req
835. A bit late to notice it!
Clear off, you're dying to.Copy !req
836. Needn't say it twice!Copy !req
837. Clear off!
I'm sick of your ugly mug!Copy !req
838. I will! You can manage on your own!Copy !req
839. I hope I never see you again!Copy !req
840. I feel like singing at the thought!Copy !req
841. There was a little boatCopy !req
842. That had never gone to seaCopy !req
843. That had never gone to seaCopy !req
844. After five or six weeksCopy !req
845. The food started to get scarce...Copy !req
846. Why have you come back?Copy !req
847. Come on.Copy !req
848. Come on, pal.Copy !req
849. - Had enough?
- It's okay...Copy !req
850. - We'll rest in that shed.
- Too risky.Copy !req
851. - I can't see any smoke.
- Even so...Copy !req
852. If your ship's on fire,
you jump overboard.Copy !req
853. Right, over we go!Copy !req
854. Come on, then.Copy !req
855. - Someone's here.
- Get out of the window, you can run.Copy !req
856. I'll give you time.Copy !req
857. Shut up and be quiet.Copy !req
858. Don't move!Copy !req
859. What are you up to?Copy !req
860. We're Frenchmen...
French, you understand?Copy !req
861. We're not thieves.Copy !req
862. Prisoners-of-war?Copy !req
863. Do you speak German?Copy !req
864. I've hurt my foot. We're done in.
We're not thieves.Copy !req
865. I'm not afraid.Copy !req
866. Call the police,
I won't walk another step!Copy !req
867. You've hurt your foot?Copy !req
868. She says to go to the house.Copy !req
869. No, I don't trust her.Copy !req
870. She says she's alone at home.Copy !req
871. Come in.Copy !req
872. She says, don't make a noise,
her child's asleep.Copy !req
873. I'll be back in a moment.Copy !req
874. Hungry? Oh, yes.Copy !req
875. - She asks if you're hungry.
- I know that.Copy !req
