"[Chaplain] "The Son of God goes forth to war... a kingly crown to gain. "" "We are all corrupt." "We are all sinful." "We are all meat to be punished." "If a soldier doesn't do his duty, he expects to be punished." "There are failures great and small... and there are punishments great and small." "But there is one failure, one crime... one betrayal... that can never be forgiven." "And that betrayal is called desertion." "The deserter in the face of the enemy must expect to be shot." "Jesus Christ is our commanding officer." "And if we desert him, we can expect no mercy." "And... we are all deserters." "All right." "Corporal, over here." "That's our objective, where that tree is." "Right." "Listen, "D" Section." "Come on." "Listen." "Hedge junction, 4:00, bushy top tree." "We will attack and destroy that tree." "Right."

"I've won." "[Man] Sergeant's coming round." "Re-form your men." ""A"Company, get into line." "Come onl Movel" " [Whistle Blows] - [Thomas] All right, Denson." "Bring your men over here." "Hurry up."

" [Machine Gun Fire]" " Take coverl" "[Chaplain] Take coverl" " [Gunshots Continue]" " Who's there?" "Who's there?" "Show yourself, whoever you are!" "Come out of there!" "Empty those rifles at once." "Hand over those rifles instantly!" "Come on." "Hand them over." "For the love of God, don't shoot!" "[Whimpering] No." "No." "No." "I take this seriously." "Very seriously indeed." "Reverend Woods might have been quite badly hurt." "Do you realize that?" "Now I want you to apologize to him." "Is that clear?" "Now, you mustn't think that I don't understand." "It's a natural characteristic of adolescence to want to proclaim individuality." "There's nothing unhealthy about that." "It's a quite blameless form of existentialism." "This, for instance, is what lies at the heart of the great hair problem." "I think you boys know that I keep an open mind on most things." "And of one thing I am certain:" "Short hair is no indication of merit." "So often I've noticed that... it's the hair rebels who step into the breach when there's a crisis... whether it be a fire in the house... or to sacrifice a week's holiday... in order to give a party of slum children seven days in the country." "But, of course, there are limits." "Scruffiness of any kind is deplorable." "I think you'd go that far with me." "Now, the fees here are at present... 643 per annum." "Which works out at about 15 guineas a week." "This is no mean sum." "It is the salary, for instance, of the average trainee supermarket manager." "But on the other hand, it's no more than the cost... of keeping a juvenile delinquent in Borstal." "However, this is merely to look at the matter in terms of hard cash... which is not the only consideration." "There is above all the question of service." "Those who are given most also have most to give." "Now you boys are intelligent." "You're too intelligent to be rebels." "That's too easy." "And it would be easy to punish you in the normal way." "But I'm going to give you a privilege." "Work." "Real work." "And I want you to think of this not as a punishment... but as an opportunity to give... to serve." "[Denson] Guard ofhonor, 'shunl" " Guard, shoulder... armsl - [Vehicles Approaching]" "Guard, present... armsl" "Guard, shoulder... arms!" " How do you do, sir?" "Nice to have you at College." " Yes." "So nice." " You know the bishop." " Bishop!" " General." "How very nice to see you." " Nice to see you after all this time." " It's a long time." " Twenty-seven years?" " Twenty-seven years it's been?" " I've got to leave now." " [Indistinct]" " Yes." "Right."

"General Denson... my lords, ladies and gentlemen... today is a day for the future... and also a day for the past." "Any institution which has half a thousand years - one-quarter of the Christian era stretching behind it- is bound to have a sense of the past." "But in point of fact, there can be few places... where tradition is examined with such a critical eye as this college." "A constant self-appraisal is going on." "And indeed, changes are happening so fast... that even as I speak, these words are out of date." "But first I want to introduce General Denson... who, of course, needs no introduction... either as a national hero or as an old boy." "General Denson." "[General Denson] Thank you, Headmaster." "Your Royal Highness, my lord bishop... my lords, ladies and gentlemen." "Men of College, now, you chaps are probably thinking... there's nothing much an old soldier like me can teach you." "Well, you may be right." "All the same, I'm going to have a shot at it." "First thing, you're lucky." "Yes." "A lot of men would give their eyeteeth to be sitting where you're sitting now." "You are privileged." "Now, for heaven's sake, don't get me wrong." "There is nothing the matter with privilege- as long as we're ready to pay for it." "It's a very sad thing, but today it is fashionable... to belittle tradition." "The old orders that made our nation a-a living force... are for the most part scorned... by modern psychiatrists, priests, pundits of all sorts." "But what have they got to put in their place, hmm?" "Oh, politicians talk a lot about freedom." "Well, freedom is the heritage of every Englishman... who speaks with the tongue that Shakespeare spoke." "But, you know, we won't stay free unless we're ready to fight." "And you won't be any good as fighters... unless you know something about discipline- the habit of obedience- how to give orders..." " and how to take them." " [Woman Coughing]" "Never mind the sneers of the cynics." "Let us just be true to honor, duty, national pride." " [Man Coughing]" " We still need loyalty." " We still need tradition." " [Coughing Continues]" "If we look around us at the world today, what do we see?" " We see bloodshed, confusion, decay." " [Coughing Continues]" "I know the world has changed a great deal in the past 50 years   [All Coughing]" " But England- our England doesn't change so easily." "And back here in College today I feel - and it makes me jolly proud - that there is still a tradition here which has not changed... and by God, it isn't going to changel" "It's up to all of you chaps to give the world a lead." "It is Britain's tradition that you have learnt here." "Self-reliance, service, self-sacrifice." "A tradition of College." "And it's up to all of us to reassure the world by our unquestioning obedience... that we still hope " "My God, we're on fire!" "Now don't panic." "Don't panic." " Women first." " [Chattering]" "Break open the windows." "Don't shout." "Don't panic." "Don't panic." "Women and children" "Oh, my God." "Come on." "Stand up." "Stand up." "Stand up for College."
