The Hill Page #5

Synopsis: WWII, in a British disciplinary camp located in the Libyan desert. Prisoners are persecuted by Staff Sergeant Williams, who made them climb again and again, under the heavy sun, an artificial hill built right in the middle of the camp. Harris is a more human and compassionate guard, but the chief, S.M. Wilson, refuses to disown his subordinate Williams. One day, five new prisoners arrive. Each of them will deal in a different way with the authority and Williams' ferocity.

Just half an hour.

- Carry on, Staff.

- Sir.

Detail, pick up your kits.

Move, move, move!

Stand still!

Roberts! You're idle on parade.

You're on another charge.

Remainder, three paces forward, march!

Left turn! By the front, quick march!

Left, right, left, right, left, right!

You're a clever bag of tricks,

you are, Roberts.

Not inside glasshouse half an hour

and you use your bloody influence

to get us a ride on the hill.

Aye. I'll bet there's one Saturday night

booze-up your father's always regretted.

Roberts, are you listening to me?

The ride on the hill leaves any marks

on me, I'll leave a bloody few on you.

Left turn! Stand still!

The hill.

Right turn!

By the front, double march!

Left, right, left, right, left wheel!

Left, right, left. Left, right, left, right, left.

Pick up your step!

Left, right, left, right, left, right,

left, right, left, right, left, right.

Left wheel!

Left, right, left, right, left, right,

left, right, left, right, left wheel!

Left, right, left, right, left, right,

left, right, left, right, left, right.

Left wheel!

Detail, halt! Stand still!

Left turn!

This is the north face, gentlemen.

I mean, ladies and gentlemen. Still!

On a clear day you can see Mother India.

Still patches of snow on the top, Roberts?

Damn funny hill.

Nothing seems to grow on it.

It's full of surprises.

The only thing that's been known

to grow on that hill is soldiers.

They grow weary!

Now we're going to double up it.

By the right! Double march!

About turn!

Double!

About turn!

About turn!

About turn!

Double! Double!

Move it!

Come on. Move it.

Move it.

Stand still. Come on, get fell in.

Pick up your dressing. Stand still!

All right, detail, stand at ease!

Not you, Roberts.

Now take your towels out.

Not you, Roberts.

You're gonna continue doubling, Roberts.

About turn!

Double march!

- Take them away, Staff.

- Left incline. Double march!

Come on, get your knees up.

Left, right, left, right. Halt!

Right. Get your clothes off. Get in.

Double!

Double!

Left, right, left, right, left, right.

Left turn!

Halt! Left turn!

Right, change clothes and lay out your kit,

and be smart about it.

It's filthy.

- Double.

- That's enough, Staff.

- Yes, sir.

- Walk him.

Or lift him.

Put him in the shade and rest him.

My picture got wet. That's my wife.

- And she looks like a very nice girl.

- She is. Jean. That's her name.

- Looks too good for you, Stevens.

- Give us a dekko.

Now go careful. It's still wet.

Lord! I wouldn't mind

half an hour with her, eh?

- Come on. Give it.

- Hold on. Just wanna have a shifty.

What's her legs like? Can't see her legs.

No, come on, give it to me.
