Why, what's wrong?

Not hungry today?

Leave me alone! I can't take it

any longer! I'm fed up!

I want to see daylight!

It stinks in here!

You hear, it stinks!

And I want to hear

a friendly voice...

I want to hear French spoken...

I want to hear French spoken,

do you hear?

Why was he shouting?

The war's lasting too long...

If my calculations are right...

in four days,

we'll be beyond the garden wall.

It means plenty of bags of earth!

Now we've a chance of escaping

and reaching home again

I'm afraid of what I'll find.

There's more than

one woman on earth!

Not for me.

That's why she sleeps around.

One thing upsets me,

leaving Marchal behind.

I dislike it too.

In fact... it irks me.

Sentiment has no place in war.

Good to see you, old man.

Same here.

I'll tell you why in a minute.

Tell me, old man...

Is there anything to eat?

I'm hungry...

Sit down.

Rosenthal's making some food.

What's the time?

Eleven o'clock.

How time drags today!

Never mind, tonight it's goodbye.

See you in Amsterdam.

I'm looking forward to the tulips

in Holland.

What about the cheese?

Don't you like Dutch cheese?

Yes, but apparently the tulip fields

stretch for miles and miles.

You're as romantic as a girl.

General roll-call at three.

All officers are to change camp.

Get your things ready.

A pleasant journey, gentlemen...

And I hope you will soon see

your wives again.

Perhaps we should warn them.

- About what?

- The hole.

About the tunnel.

Careful.

We dug a tunnel in room 7, Sir.

A tunnel for escaping.

You not speak French.

Hole dug. To escape.

Get back in line!

OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N 2

OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N 9

OFFICERS PRISON CAMP N 14

Open the window, it stinks in here.

I'm afraid there are only two pairs

of white gloves left, Sir.

And we can't get any more,

so try and make them last.

Yes, Sir... Some more coffee, Sir?

If you call that muck coffee,

it's all right with me.

At least it will warm me up.

The list of new prisoners, Sir.

The new prisoners are here.

Three new prisoner-of-war officers

reporting, Sir!

Hello, gentlemen.

Delighted to see you again,

Boeldieu...

But sorry it should be here.

We too...

Sit down, gentlemen.

No, thank you, Sir.

At ease.

Captain de Boeldieu.

Four attempts at escape...

Via the boiler-room, a refuse pit...

Through the sewers,

in a laundry basket.

Humility is sometimes a necessity...

I understand.

Lieutenant Marchal,

five attempts at escape.

Disguised as a sweep...

Pardon, Sir, hot-air expert.

Disguised as a German soldier,

disguised as a woman.

Very funny, very funny indeed...

Not so funny when an N.C.O. took me

for a woman, not to my taste at all!

- Really?
