"You are Francois Perrault, aren't you?" "He's the right man." "Tell him we were sent to pick out a trail for some troops that have to get over the mountains." "Tell him that the villagers told us he's the only one who can get us through." "(French)" "I speak English." "I want nothing to do with you." "Get out." "You're a Frenchman, aren't you?" "Who's side are you on anyway?" "The French mean no more to me than the Germans." "I..." "I do not take part in the war." "I trap animals." "No more." "Leave me alone." "Sarge, like I said." "Let's go home uh." "What about money, huh?" "What about that?" "We're willing to pay you." "Money means nothing today." "What about provisions." "We have a lot of things out on the sleigh."

"The number of men who will be coming up the mountain." "Well then." "We have an empty bunker the French were kind enough to build for us." "It is submerged in snow." "It is our cold storage."

"(German)" "(Door squeeks open)" "(squeaky door slams shut)" "(Latch clicks)" "Are you okay, Sarge." "What'd the kraut Lieutenant want?" "Answers." "He knows our troops are gonna make lt through the mountains." "He wants to know how many." "What'd you tell him?" "Nothing." "We're gonna be on ice until we do." "Would have been something you could have told him so they'd panic and pull out." "It's better if we keep our mouths shut." "Don't tell them anything." "Oh wow." "We gotta get outta here." "We will never get out of here." "You lied to me." "Right from the beginning." "The whole thing was a lie." "You said there were no Germans." "You tricked me." "We didn't know there were any Germans around." "Our reports showed the whole area was clean." "Ah, it is always the same." "Death, death, death." "There's no end and for no use." "In the last war my father was killed." "Then my brother." "My mother was left alone with no one to care for her." "At the Mont del Poure" "I spent 6 years in prison."

"I should not have trusted you." "You trust no one." "THAT IS RIGHT." "I trust no one." "Might be a change in plans...maybe." "Maybe Lieutenant Hanley and the men won't even come this way, Sarge." "They're coming this way." "Gotta get word to him." "How?" "I don't know." "We just gotta get out of here." "There is no way." "We'll freeze to death." "That's right." "Just keep walking." "Come on."

"The cold must be doing it." "Gotta have something to dig with." "Hey." "Sergeant." "Have you reached a decision yet?" "Not yet." "Are you going to help us, and thus help your men?" "Or are you just going to let them freeze." "I need more time to think about it." "You best make a decision soon." "By sundown, the temperature will drop ten degrees more."

"Let's try it." "Come on." "Perrault." "Perrault, we need your help." "Leave me alone." "Perrault." "Those skis that you got." "We need them." "We can't get back there without you." "Cage needs those skis to get down to the mountain and warn..." "You can't run away." "The lives of hundreds of men depend on you." "I want nothing to do with you, the Germans, the French." "Nobody!" "Nobody asked you what you wanted." "Nobody asked ten million other people." "Alright, you lost a father and a brother, but who hasn't lost someone." "Perrault, you lied to yourself." "You're a deserter." "I'm not!" "Yes you are." "You ran away from the fight." "I had reasons." "No, you didn't." "No you didn't." "You only told yourself you did." "And that's the lie you try to live all alone on your mountain top." "Alright deserter," "What are you gonna tell yourself this time?" "Huh!" "Hey." "Follow after me." "Tell the Lieut." "Yeah."
