00:30Colonel Dax, you will apologize at once, or I shall be placed under arrest.
00:35I apologize for not being entirely honest with you.
00:39I apologize for not revealing my true feelings.
00:43I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerative, sadistic old man.
00:48And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again.
00:56Since the publication of the book 25 years ago, no one dared to make this movie.
01:02It was too shocking, too frank.
01:05What sort of casualties do you anticipate, sir?
01:07Hmm, say, 5% killed by our own barrage.
01:10It's a very generous allowance.
01:1210% more going through no man's land, and 20% more going through the wire.
01:17That leaves 65% for the worst part of the job over.
01:20Now, let's say another 25% in actually taking the anthill,
01:25they're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it.
01:28Colonel, you're saying that more than half my men will be killed.
01:31Aside from the inescapable fact that a good maneuver of men never left the trenches,
01:35there's the question of the troops' morale. Don't you get that?
01:37The troops' morale?
01:38Certainly.
01:39These executions will be a petitonic for the entire division.
01:42There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.
01:55Where in heaven's name are they?
01:57On the left.
01:57Where on the left?
01:58Zero plus one and they're still in the trenches.
02:00They're not advancing.
02:02Miserable cowards.
02:03They're not advancing.
02:04The barrage is getting away from them.
02:06They're still in the trenches.
02:08Yes, sir.
02:11Captain Nichols.
02:12Yes, sir.
