Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips

I haven't the foggiest.
...l want you to keep this lighter.
...what difference your being there at any time made to anything...
Valiant member of the King's Own or the Queen's Own or something...
I'll say this for the old man. He's got guts.
...l have given your troops a day of rest.
...so when l arrived here at the hospital...
Finish work!
I know, you're terribly sorry, but you're going to stand me up tonight.
The railway starts down here in Singapore. Malaya...
...to build a bridge across the River Kwai.
You may have overlooked the fact that the use of officers for labour...
If you had to operate on Saito, would you do your best or let him die?
-Here is where we must win through. -Time, time!
Well, l....
Let's not get excited.
If Saito is correct, the train should be along in five or 1 0 minutes.
Why not ask Saito for some of his men?
Always use your knife immediately, Joyce.
...l suppose many of you feel somewhat let down.
That's a question l've often asked myself, sir. It's worried me quite a bit.
It's a pity you won't be here to see the first practical use of this bridge.
Are you quite sure you'd be able to use it in cold blood?
Yes. l see your point, sir.
...whoever's there will have to swim back.
...with Major Clipton and the sick men...
Our men must always feel they are still commanded by us...
If he knew we were here, it might boost his morale a little.
-Protecting rare plants from the enemy? -Not quite.
Is there anything else?
Heave!
Principle!
Battalion, stand at ease.
He felt l belonged in the army.
Yes. How's he behaving?
I'm sure a man of Commander Shears' experience will back me up on that.
I want everything to go off without a hitch starting tomorrow morning.
I'm sorry, sir, I didn't quite follow you.
None of us ever know the answer to that question until the moment arises.
Throughout East Asia we are celebrating this date.
Colonel Saito says all officers to punishment hut.
-Right, gentlemen? -Yes, sir.
-Half a pint, sir. -Quinine.
-Mind if l have one? -No.
Go ahead.
That bridge would collapse under the first train.
To ask me this?
You wish to see me?
It's one thing or the other. Destroy a bridge or destroy yourself.
I am declaring a general amnesty.
Has Clipton seen you?
...but there are always a few malingerers.
But we're facing a crisis. For those of you who feel up to it...
Your Navy's in an awkward position.
No time for jokes. Finish work!
I refer to Lieutenant Miura.
We're prisoners of war. We haven't the right to refuse to work.
He's in the trees!
We must fix the daily work quota for your men.
I tell you, gentlemen, we have a problem on our hands.
"Ship him home in irons for impersonating an officer."
Sure you won't have tea?
I must call your attention, Colonel Saito...
No, that would spoil it. Too much talk always spoils it.
Mined?
Good! On your feet, chaps. Away to the debriefing room quickly.
I hope that the people who use this bridge in years to come...
You've seen the graveyard. They're your real odds.
Well, tomorrow morning then? About 1 0?
Well....
-You don't know? -Sir, 1 2, usually.
That's why...
There are too many witnesses.
I'll try to make myself clear, sir.
That pop was made with a lump half this size.
Unfortunately, yes.
Lovely.
All enlisted prisoners to work.
Don't jump to conclusions. No reflection on you...
If we go on, we go on together.
Eyes front.
What's wrong with that thing?
Cut off from his unit. It should be a lesson to all of us.
I spoke with Reeves and Hughes. We won't finish the bridge on time.
We'll set the charges against the piles...
You see, Jennings, there are certain advantages to being on the sick list.
What do you say?
Now....
Like a martini?
That will not be necessary.
Do you know what will happen to me if the bridge is not ready in time?
I was sure it would meet with your approval.
I don't know whether that kind of thinking's healthy...
He's got amoebic dysentery and blackwater fever. Temperature of 1 04.
My orders are to complete the bridge by the 1 2th day of May.
There's not a man in this hospital who doesn't belong there.
...if I am to die, others will die before me.
