What's the bad news this time?
this ought to be good news.
Did I say anything
about liking to fight?
Special order for the Captain.
- In there. Be sure and knock.
Come in.
Captain LaRoche?
Yes.
- From headquarters, sir.
Make yourself at home.
Can I get you a chair?
- No, sir.
That's all.
Tell the Sergeant to come in...
...in exactly 2 minutes.
- Yes, sir.
Is it orders to go back to the front?
Yes.
- When?
Tonight, now.
- Tonight?
Such a short leave.
It's harder each time you go.
Is it, dear?
It's good to hear you say that.
Monique, I want you
to have something.
This was given to me by...
...someone I love very
much, my sister.
It's lovely.
I'll say prayers to Our Lady
to bring you back safely.
You blessed child.
She knows I'd be lost without you.
You would?
You've been so good, so kind, I...
Is that all?
Paul...
...it tears my heart each time
you go back to the front.
Do you know what you just said?
Say it again.
It tears my heart.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I'll come back.
I always come back. I'm eternal.
Come, dear.
We're moving back up at midnight.
Yes, sir.
Here it is, sir.
Order equipment.
We're in for 3 weeks.
Yes, sir.
Assembly at 11:
30.Yes, sir, but...
- Well?
The replacements,
they haven't reported.
I expect you to see they do report.
Yes, sir.
Is that all, sir?
Is that all, sir?
- Listen.
Light out, fires out!
- Sir, I don't understand.
Don't you hear those motors?
They're German.
Hurry up!
- Yes, sir.
Lights out, to cover everybody!
Lights out!
Lights out! Get under cover!
Keep that door closed!
Come in!
Come in out of the lead.
- How can I?
Step back. I'll push up the grating.
Hurry up, jump. Come on.
One more. Hurry up.
Are you hurt?
- No, I...
I don't think so.
you, you usually know it.
Sit down here.
See if I can get some light in here.
Now we can...
Well...
...here.
I never expected to find any...
You'd better have a drink.
Here, try this.
I'll make you more comfortable there.
Poor Fifi.
What a woman she was in her day?
You lie down here.
You'll have to stay here
until all this blows over.
There we are.
You like another drink?
- No, thanks.
No?
It turned out to be a
great war, didn't it?
I mean, that was a pretty narrow
escape you had there.
Gosh I'm awfully glad that you...
I'll be all right.
A little too direct?
Say, I know what I'll do.
I'll play for you.
Are we?
Are we safe here?
I am.
This won't last long.
Lieutenant...
...how did you happen to be here?
I'm establishing a mood.
I'm softening you.
It's the only way to do it, music.
Notice the romance in it?
No, really, how did you
happen to be here?
I came in a few minutes
before you did.
Notice how the music's getting you?
No.
- No?
You just wait.
a reed in the storm.
You see?
I'm sorry, but I...
...feel nothing.
Nothing at all?
To tell the truth I was afraid
of something like that.
If you notice...
...the piano's a little out of tune.
Don't move, I'll squeeze in here.
You may have it all. I'm leaving.
- Not yet.
You don't realize the danger with
this sky full of death, but I do.
You'll stay here until
it's safe again.
Lieutenant, how long have
you been at the front?
Almost two years, child.
I'm a veteran.
And you haven't learned yet
that when the rain comes...
...they go away?
I know that...
...but I was hoping you
didn't. I'm sorry.
I can't understand it.
Nothing I do seems to work.
Perhaps it's because
I'm a veteran too.
Don't go yet. Please,
just for a moment.
It was only that...
...you were very lovely to look at...
...and I didn't want you to go away.
You see, it...
I don't know, a soldier doesn't find
moments of beauty and so...
...when one does come
along be snatches at it.
And why not?
A bomb or a shell may get
either of us tomorrow.
Why not take a moment like this
and sort of make the most of it?
It may be our last.
That was very dramatic.
You know, that's the
soldier's approach.
Not the enlisted soldier's, you
understand. No, he's more pointed.
The commissioned soldier...
...he uses a little more finesse,
it seems to me...
...and he beats about
the bush a little longer.
And this is your usual approach?
No.
There's a great deal to be said for
the enlisted man's practice of...
Have you finished?
Gee...
...if you don't want this, you might
have the politeness to slap me...
...because we'll never get
anywhere with your attitude.
It's unfair.
Wait, please. I haven't finished.
I was just preparing to apologize.
- You needn't bother.
Will you tell me your name?
No.
I don't think I'd better.
Goodbye, Lieutenant.
Captain's quarters?
- Right in there, sir.
Thank you.
No, no. If it's not here in half
an hour it will be too late.
At ease, men.
I'm the new platoon commander.
- Sergeant Regnier, sir.
How are you, Sergeant?
Fine.
Captain LaRoche here?
- He's expecting you.
Take care of that for me, will you?
Come in.
Lieutenant Denet reporting, sir.
- You should've arrived 2 hours ago.
I ran into a difficulty, sir.
- Air raid?
In a way, yes.
Let's see. In civil life...
...you were a pianist.
I was a student.
Otherwise your record's not bad.
