So, where are you going?
Schofield
I have to get to the Second Devons, just past Écoust.
Why?
Schofield
They're attacking at dawn. I have to stop them.
How come?
Schofield
They're walking into a trap.
How many?
Schofield
Sixteen hundred.
Jesus.
Why did they send you on your own?
Schofield
They didn't. There were two of us.
So now it's down to you.
Schofield
Yes.
You'll never make it.
Schofield
Yes, I will. [Butler hands him a bottle of whisky] Thank you.
Look at it. **** look at it. Three years fightin' over this. We should've just let the bastards keep it. I mean, who machine guns cows?
Huns with extra bullets.
Bastards.
Clever. They know if they don't shoot the cow, you will eat it.
Still bastards.
Yeah, it's not even our bloody country.
How long gone do you reckon they are?
Why? Worried we'll catch up to them?
Yeah, right. Be a bloody miracle at this rate.
They are probably right around the next corner.
Piss off, no they're not.
Why don't they just bloody well give up? Eh? Don't they wanna to go home?
They hate their wives and mothers... and Germany must be a shit hole.
They're retreating... they're miles back. We've got 'em on the ropes at least.
No. We don't.
