from that record.

At midnight we move

up to the front.

Dismiss!

Yes, sir.

Company at ease...

...dismissed!

Will you shut up?

I'm sorry, I forgot.

If you've got to whistle,

give us the other tune.

Taking over.

I can't say I'm sorry.

- Anything new?

No, it feels like they're

getting ready.

Two raiding parties out already

tonight, after prisoners.

A bad break in the wire after...

- Wait, wait.

One of your men?

- Yes.

How long's he out?

- Since last night.

Why don't you bring him in?

Look over here.

Those bodies out there are

the men we sent after him.

They couldn't raise that gun

and put him out of his misery.

I'll be out of mine anyway.

I won't have to listen to him.

Good luck.

But I don't care! They let him

hang and suffer and suffer!

Tomorrow it may be any of us.

It may be me!

Tenshun!

As you were.

Lieutenant...

...what about that man?

I can't sleep.

- Shut up.

I prefer to die before hearing that.

- Wait a minute.

Two men can get him out.

You and who else?

I'll go.

And you want to go?

My brother died that way last

year in front of Souchez.

We listened to him two days

before a barrage came.

All right, come along...

...both of you.

Good luck.

Here.

But all I owe you is eight francs.

I'll expect the rest, later.

I'll be here.

- All right.

Over you go.

Stand to and cover these men.

Who is he?

- Denet sent after...

...that man on the wire.

- Fools.

Don't do that, sir.

Are you hit?

- I'm not, he is, in the leg.

I don't have to listen

to him any more.

Take him to the rear.

Lend a hand here.

You're a brave man, Denet...

...but you're a fool.

Take over...

...I'm going to the dugout.

Yes, sir.

Jacques...

...watch on here.

How many more days?

Five more.

Then we can get out.

In ten days you'll be getting ready

to get back up here again.

Sorry.

Can't you give us the other

one once in a while?

My mistake was by buying

the music box...

...that didn't have but

two tunes in it.

What did you buy that dumb

thing for anyhow?

It was very cheap.

You know what to do with that box?

- What?

Take a hand grenade...

...pull the pin, drop

it inside and run.

But it isn't paid yet for.

- Go on. Go to sleep.

Time for relief, Dupres.

- All right.

Rousseau.

- Yes.

Clement.

- Yes.

Lights out, everybody.

This place sure needs some perfume.

It seems to me we've got too

much perfume here already.

Yeah, but not the right king.

- Shut up.

Sergeant, come here, quick.

- What is it?

Down here, listen.

Do you hear it?

- Quiet.

What is it?

It's a mine, they're digging

right down below us.

They'll blow us all to pieces.

- Shut up!

Shut up!

Go and get the captain, quick.
