Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence Page #4

- I am, sir.

- How's he coming along?

He's a tough man.

Anyone else would have been dead

When will he be up and

about do you think?

Christ, I had to give him a sedative,

so he'll sleep...

most of the time. I'd saya

couple of weeks.

- Good. Where's the big chief?

- I'll get him for you.

All right you malingerers.

Now hear this!

Colonel Lawrence is going to

stay here for a few nights.

- He's one of those, mate!

- Want my boxing gloves?

- Where is he?

- Sleeping.

Take me.

Why was he captured?

He wasn't.

He surrendered.

Why does Capt. Yonoi want to

make him commanding officer?

- I don't know.

- Answer me Lawrence...

Because he's a born leader.

Why are you still alive?

I'd admire you more if

you killed yourself.

A good officer like you!

How can you stand the shame?

We don't call it shame.

Being a prisioner is one of

the fortunes of war.

We surely aren't happy being prisoners.

We want to escape.

We want to fight you.

That's just quibbling.

No! We want to win.

This camp isn't the end.

We won't kill ourselves.

It's the coward's way out.

You're just scared of dying!

Don't wake the patients.

When I was 12,

I visited the shrine in my village.

I offered my life to the Emperor.

I have already died for my country.

Yes. But you're not dead are you?

It's all right, Jack.

It's Lawrence.

It's all right. You're fine.

It's all right.

Sergeant Hara isn't going to hurt you.

Sergeant Hara isn't going to hurt anyone.

What on earth possessed Yonoi

to save me do you think?

I don't know.

What did he say, Lawrence?

What a fynny face!

Beautiful eyes, though.

All right?

What's that bloody noise!

What's the matter with them?

They're trying to become

super human gods.

They live in the past,

these fellows.

God help them, Lawrence.

And that's our Captain Yonoi's voice,

isn't it?

He's been screaming

his head off...

ever since you got here.

If he's got something

on his mind...

why doesn't he come out with it?

I rather think he is.

Perhaps we're both on the same ladder.

Are you okay?

It was a nightmare.

Ueki is worried about these

training sessions...

that they are too violent.

Sir, your shouts make the prisioners uneasy.

Lawrence has come to me.

- Lawrence is here?

- Outside.

Is it true that our shouts

disturb the prisoners?

Yes, yes, sir. It is.

And you? Do you feel uneasy?

Well, I find the noise irritating,

but irt doesn't make me uneasy.

However, some of the sick men...

- That sick officer, too?

- Major Celliers? Yes.

I do not want the prisoners

to become upset.

Thank you, Captain Yonoi.

How wonderful it would have been...

if we could have invited all of you...

to a gathering under our cherry trees.
