00:12You enjoying the war, sister?
00:14I'd enjoy it much more in a bitumen road.
00:21When did you start sending boys to war?
00:23We ran out of men.
00:24Either we fight the Japs up here or we hand them Australia.
00:26Which would you prefer, sister?
00:32What do you want to think you're scared of the Japs?
00:35Something I'm worried about is fighting you off till the end of the war.
00:39You could always surrender, couldn't you?
00:40Get out of the war!
00:42You surrender!
00:43So how about a smile and remove you, boy?
00:48I'm not scared.
00:54I'm sure that our God will protect us.
01:01He won't give a hoot.
01:02What happens to you?
01:08You should have saved him.
01:10The captain says, you stay.
01:13Drink.
01:17No.
01:20If you'd given in to that captain, the Japs would have come for the rest of us.
01:27You think they won't anyway?
01:32Heil Hitler!
01:33Buzzi!
01:34Buzzi!
01:37Len!
01:38Len!
01:40Len!
01:42Oh, no!
01:42Did you confess your sin to Sharmak?
01:50Did he know that I'd helped Len?
01:53Sharmak is not a traitor.
01:56All people must watch.
01:57Watch or you join him.
02:00Let him, Luna.
02:01Make yourself do it or you'll be next.
02:22Take care of everyone!
02:25Everything is a source of fun!
02:40I am a truly wicked person.
02:43Aren't they exquisite?
02:45They must be Japanese nurses.
02:47Most nurses don't charge by the hour, sister.
02:51The Japs are shutting the hospital down.
02:54They're moving these boys to a bow for their safety.
02:59No!
03:00It's a trap!
03:06Don't touch that!
03:07I'm still there!
03:08Get out!
03:08Get out!
03:10Get out!
03:14This is all you're doing.
03:15What the hell have I got to do?
03:16Don't treat me like a fool.
03:17Your beloved Bishop is a Japanese collaborator.
03:20And when all this is over, I'll make sure he hangs for war crimes.
03:38I built this mission as a place of peace.
03:43Look at it now.
03:44If the Japanese would kill their own men,
03:48what must they have done to you?
03:54The Japanese should have tried to kill their own men,
03:55and if the Japanese would've done to kill their own men...
03:56It's not that they're in the hunger and the men ever were off.
04:20You
