V: I'm sorry. Oh... I'm so pointless. Everything's... Everything is so horrible. Beastliness everywhere and I live like an ant, but I thought at least there was you, living for love. Someone rising clear above the muck for me, reaching for beautiful things, loving and... being loved. And now there's no-one left... and nothing.

C: Christopher Tietjens to see General Campion.

G:After which, the adjutant will stand the battalion at ease and the band will play Land of Hope and Glory. Sit down, Chrissie, you damned fool. Then the adjutant will call out... "There will be no more parades" and "Fall out" and so on. Try that on them.

G: I'm supposed to invent a ceremonial for disbanding the Kitchener battalions.

C: Disbanding?

G: Don't want them clogging up the army when the war is over. So don't hitch your wagon to me if you want to see some fighting, you can see where my opinions have got me.

C: The single command business? That's what did for me at the office.

G: But what the hell has it got to do with you? And now you think you'll be some use as a soldier! Have you told Sylvia?

C: Not yet. She'll say the same thing as you, I suppose.

S: Well, I think you're a fool!
