Dunkirk Page #5

Well, that should

hold them for a bit.

Let's get back to the unit.

Double up and quick! Keep low!

There's nobody in the forward

observation post, sir!

What's that?

There must be.

No, sir!

Nobody in the

trenches either, sir.

Looks empty.

The vehicles are there.

That's C Company's second truck,

sir.

It's US. Transmission

went last night.

That Bren's US too, sir.

There's nobody there.

Nonsense.

They've gone to ground.

There's nobody there, sir.

All right, Corporal, get the

stuff up as quickly as you can.

I'll go ahead.

Very good, sir.

Come on, lads.

Pick 'em up.

Rum go.

I wonder what's happened.

Division pulled out

last night, sir. Midnight.

Where to?

West, sir.

Concentrating between Arras

and Lens, the Major said.

Told me I was to wait

for you, sir.

[FIGHTER PLANE WHINING]

Look out! Get to cover!

BELLMAN:

You all right, Tubby?

Yeah, yeah. I'm all right.

What about the others?

Where's Mike?

He ducked down somewhere

over there, I think.

Come on, let's have a yell.

Mike, where are you?

MIKE:

I'm here.

You all right?

MIKE:

Of course I'm all right.

Well, what are you doing

down there then?

I'm trying to get out

of this bloody hedge.

Everybody okay?

That was quick.

Yeah,

but where's the company?

Where is everybody?

Pulled out.

The trucks have gone.

Everything's gone.

Yeah, but where?

Mr. Lumpkin.

MIKE:

Can you get him, Barlow?

BARLOW:

It's too hot.

MIKE:

Let me have a go.

BARLOW:
I can't reach him.

I can't get at him.

[MIKE COUGHING]

He's dead.

Oh, my God.

He's dead.

MIKE:

No, I can't.

Poor devils, they hadn't

a chance in that fire.

It wasn't the fire

that killed them.

They got it before that.

Well, what do we do now?

You've got the stripes,

Tubby.

You tell us.

Yeah.

Yeah, I suppose

you're right.

Then what do we do then?

Well, one thing's certain,

the trucks are U/S.

I suppose

we'll have to hoof it.

Well, come on.

Let's get cracking

before Jerry comes back.

I never wanted the blasted

stripes in the first place.

Too late now, Tubby.

You're stuck with them.

Hello, Jouvet.

What on earth's the matter?

We have lost the battle.

Don't be a fool.

They have broken through.

What?

Well, that's not

the end of things.

Look, it can't be

as bad as all that.

You don't understand.

You are an Englishman.

It is France

that is being torn.

It is my country.

You English,

you can never understand.

My home is at Rheims.

You have never known what it is

to have a German in your home.

Even now,

they are in my house

tearing things open.

Tomorrow they will be

in Paris.

In Paris!

Rubbish!

You're talking nonsense.

They've broken through

and the situation is bad.
