00:31I apologize for not being entirely honest with you.
00:34I apologize for not revealing my true feelings.
00:38I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you're a degenerate, sadistic old man.
00:43And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!
00:51Since the publication of the book 25 years ago, no one dared to make this movie.
00:56It was too shocking, too frank.
00:59What sort of casualties do you anticipate, sir?
01:02Hmm, say, 5% killed by our own barrage.
01:05That's a very generous allowance.
01:0610% more engaged with no man's land, and 20% more engaged with the wire.
01:11That leaves 65%, for the worst part of the job over.
01:15Let's say another 25% in actually taking the anthill,
01:19we're still left with a force more than adequate to hold it.
01:22Well, you're saying that more than half my men will be killed.
01:25Aside from the inescapable fact that a good man of your men never left the trenches,
01:28there's the question of the troops' morale, don't forget that.
01:30The troops' morale?
01:31Certainly.
01:32These executions will be a perfect tonic for the entire division.
01:35There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating
01:38than seeing someone else die.
01:47Fire in heaven's name, are they?
01:49Fire in heaven's name, are they?
01:50Fire in heaven's name, are they?
01:51Zero plus one and that's still in the trenches.
01:53They're not advancing.
01:54These terrible cowards.
01:55They're not advancing.
01:56The barrage is getting away from them.
01:58They're still in the trenches.
01:59Yes, sir.
02:03Captain Nichols.
02:04Yes, sir?
02:06Order 75 to commence firing on our own position.
02:09All right.
02:37You're right.
