Dax
Why didn't you leave the trenches?
Paris
Major Vignon was shot, and he fell back on top of me, sir, and knocked me cold.
Dax
And were you lying unconscious in the trenches during the entire attack?
Paris
Yes, sir.
Judge
Have you any witnesses to that?
Paris
No, sir. I guess everybody was too busy to notice me. There were so many others lying dead anyway.
Judge
But you have no witnesses?
Paris
No, sir. I only have a rather large cut on my head, sir.
Judge
That could have been self-inflicted later.
