00:00England, we're fodder for the mill, and we'll be fodder for the front.
00:07All right, boys, ready?
00:11Joining up?
00:12I feel it's my patriotic duty.
00:14We'll need a new chorus, master.
00:17I hope he puts the wind up the Germans more than he ever did the sopranos.
00:22Dr. Guthrie.
00:23What?
00:24He's been working in Germany.
00:26Treachery.
00:27He's an atheist.
00:29There are atheists now.
00:30There's one in Bradford.
00:33I heard his Mozart Requiem.
00:36So did I.
00:38It was wonderful.
00:40I'd like to hear the chorale.
00:42Oh, heart for Blut und Wunden.
00:45For God's sake, man, rain in the bloody German.
00:49Riesel, Ries!
00:51I always hold in, having it if you fancy it.
00:54Warn you.
00:55You shall be resting.
01:00Angels, ever bright and fair.
01:06Any news of Clyde?
01:07Clyde was the best tenor we ever had.
01:10Was?
01:10It's not been confirmed.
01:12Yes.
01:13He'll turn up.
01:15Cowboys!
01:16What's this?
01:17Why aren't you at the front?
01:18None of us are 18 yet.
01:20When we are, we'll go.
01:21Madam.
01:24She's lost her brother.
01:27I'll talk at the telegram.
01:29It's this flaming war.
01:33Born by Christmas, boys!
01:35The vicar's wanted, the women wanted, the idiots getting killed, they wanted.
01:41Who do you turn to?
01:43We used to have such a nice going on.
01:47Hello, stranger.
01:47You've been dealt some rough cards.
01:58This gentleman wants to know if any of you can sing.
02:03Limb lost, not to mention the things you've seen.
02:10Life is shit.
02:11A man should hear a little music every day of his life, so worldly cares may not obliterate
02:22the beautiful in the human soul.
02:27Oh, that is nice.
02:29Who said it?
02:30Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
02:32For God's sake, man, lower your voice.
