00:00What's he like?
00:02Who?
00:03The new colonel, of course.
00:05How the hell do you know he'd arrived?
00:07Oh, he brightly told me.
00:09Was anyone here last night? Someone from the barracks?
00:12Nobody.
00:13Did you go there, then? Did you? I've told you before...
00:16Father, let's not have all this over again.
00:18You'll no go near the place without telephoning me first.
00:21There's only one sort of girl seen hanging about a barracks.
00:24I'm not a child.
00:25I know you're not, that's just what I'm saying.
00:27Now go where I want.
00:28You'll go where you're told just yet a while.
00:31And where were you half the night? Tell me that.
00:33Down at the theatre with that actress, I suppose.
00:35I'll not have that.
00:36I'll not have impertinence from you.
00:38Now you listen to me, Morag.
00:44Don't turn away from me. Don't do that.
00:48Morag, I've only made the rules to help you.
00:51But you've got to keep them.
00:53Now say something.
00:56Yes, Father.
00:58It's time you went.
01:00Aye.
01:02That's a fact.
01:11Way out to the car, lad, and we'll give you a lift.
01:13Sir.
01:18What's he like?
01:19Barrow? Oh, he's a wee man.
01:22Father, it had to be.
01:23I just said, he's a wee man.
01:27It had to be.
01:28As a matter of fact, I'm no with you.
01:31It need never have been.
01:34But it's my opinion, he'll no be CO for very long.
01:37Father, you look to something stupid.
01:39Oh, for Pete's sake, lassie.
01:42You expect me to hang out a flag?
