Well, the Messing Officer.
They're moving a lot of new bodies in.
Everywhere is full up.
Anyway, it's only for tonight.
l'm being sent up to Meiktila.
l'll be leaving tomorrow.
Everything's in a mess
at the moment.
So l see.
- l seem to have put up a black.
- Oh, he's an impossible man.
Of course, we all feel the heat.
And three in a tent really is too many,
but that's no reason to behave
in such a boorish way.
Still, l suppose it was a bit
high-handed of the Messing Officer
just to stick me in here
without even consulting him.
Yes, but what you don't realize is that
Forrester invites that sort of treatment.
Puts people's backs up.
Thank goodness l'm a wingless wonder.
l don't envy you flying with him.
Why?
Well, everyone knows
he's round the bend. Everyone.
- Ah, well met.
- Hello, Doc.
l was coming over to see you.
- l've an invitation for you.
- Yes?
Miss McNab, the missionary
from the village--
dinner tonight.
No, thanks.
l take over some rice
and a can of meat and they make curry.
lt's delicious.
l'm sure it is, but l can't make it.
l'll pick you up at 7:00.
l said no thanks.
Here, you take this.
l'll take the rice.
We are not divided
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine
Come on.
One in charity
Onward, Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
going on before
- Good evening, Dr. Harris.
- Good evening, Dorothy.
- Good evening, Mr. Forrester.
- Good evening.
- Something for the kitchen.
- Oh, how good of you.
l'll be in in a minute.
Ah, good evening, Dr. Harris!
Good evening to you.
Good evening, Miss McNab.
Can l introduce--
This will be Squadron Leader Forrester,
l have no doubt.
lt's an honor
and a pleasure, Mr. Forrester.
- l'm glad you were able to come.
- That's very kind of you.
Nobody told me
you were so handsome.
Come on, let me introduce you.
This is Anna's mother.
How do you do?
She can't answer you
because she can't speak.
She hasn't spoken
since the Japs bombed us in Rangoon.
l'm sorry.
- Hello, Mr. Phang.
- A pleasure, Doctor, as always.
- This is Mr. Phang.
- How do you do, Mr. Phang?
Very pleased indeed, sir,
to meet so distinguished an officer.
lt'll be no surprise to you to learn that
Mr. Phang studied English at the university.
English literature
to be precise, Mr. Forrester.
Oh, Doctor,
remember l am relying on you
to have plenty of ideas
about the hymns for Easter.
l've been thinking of nothing else.
Mr. Phang!
Excuse me.
Yes, Miss McNab?
- Get me another glass, please.
- Certainly.
- l'm glad you were able to come.
- lt's good to see you again.
lt was very good
of Miss McNab to ask me.
