- Take this bridge of yours. It's quite an enormous undertaking. And to be frank, I have grave doubts whether your Lieutenant what's-his-name... Miura... is capable of tackling a job of such importance.
- On the other hand, I have officers, Reeves and Hughes, for instance who have built bridges all over India.
- The men respect them. It's essential for an officer to have that respect, I'm sure you'll agree. If he loses it, he ceases to command. And what happens then? Demoralisation and chaos.
- A pretty poor commander I would be if I allowed that to happen to my men.
- Perhaps you are not aware that the bridge is now under my personal command.
- Really? And may I ask, are you satisfied with the work?
- I am not! You've proved my point.
- You've proved my point.
- I hate the British! You are defeated, but you have no shame. You are stubborn, but have no pride. You endure, but you have no courage.
- I hate the British!
- Pointless, going on like this.
- Stay there!
