1917 - Urgent Mission to Prevent Dawn Attack
Sepoy Jondalar:
So, where are you going?
Schofield:
I have to get to the Second Devons, just past Écoust.
Sepoy Jondalar:
Why?
Schofield:
They're attacking at dawn. I have to stop them.
Private Malky:
How come?
Schofield:
They're walking into a trap.
Private Cooke:
How many?
Schofield:
Sixteen hundred.
Private Cooke:
Jesus.
Private Butler:
Why did they send you on your own?
Schofield:
They didn't. There were two of us.
Private Rossi:
So now it's down to you.
Schofield:
Yes.
Private Cooke:
You'll never make it.
Schofield: [Butler hands him a bottle of whisky]
Yes, I will. Thank you.
Privatve Rossi: [noticing dead cattle in the fields]
Look at it. Fucking look at it. Three years fightin over this. We should've just let the bastards keep it. I mean, who machine guns cows?
Private Malky:
Huns with extra bullets.
Privatve Rossi:
Bastards.
Sepoy Jondalar:
Clever. They know if they don't shoot the cow, you will eat it.
Privatve Rossi:
Still bastards.
Private Malky:
Yeah, it's not even our bloody country.
Private Butler:
How long gone do you reckon they are?
Sepoy Jondalar:
Why? Worried we'll catch up to them?
Private Butler: [chuckles]
Yeah, right. Be a bloody miracle at this rate.
Private Cooke:
They are probably right around the next corner.
Privatve Rossi:
Piss off, no they're not.
Private Cooke:
Why don't they just bloody well give up? Eh? Don't they wanna to go home?
Privatve Rossi:
They hate their wives and mothers... and Germany must be a shit hole.
Private Cooke:
They're retreating... they're miles back. We've got em on the ropes at least.
Sepoy Jondalar:
No. We don't.
