Scene One: An Argument in the DesertArchie: Can you ride Frank?Frank: Yeah, why? Archie: Just wondering why you didn't try for the lighthorse. Frank: Didn't want to. Archie: What are you going to join, the infantry? Frank: I'm not joining anything. Archie: But you've gotta be in it. Frank: Don't have to if you don't want to. Archie: You gotta be. Frank: No I don't, it's a free country or haven't you heard. Archie: I'd be ashamed of myself if I didn't fight. Frank: That only proves one thing, that you and I are different, let's drop it, eh? |
| Archie: You of all people should be going.
Frank: Why me of all people? Archie: Because you're an athlete. Frank: Ha, what's that got to do with it? Archie: I've got mates who'd be lucky to run the hundred in twelve and they're gonna do their bit. So why shouldn't you? Frank: Because it's not our bloody war. Archie: What do you mean, not our war? Frank: It's an English war, it's got nothing to do with us. Archie: You know what you are? You're a bloody coward. Frank: There's only one reason I haven't knocked you down, mate. Archie: What? Frank: Because I don't feel like carrying you to the next bloody waterhole. Now shut up and don't open your yap about the bloody war again. |
