• Weaver : [surveying the emaciated POW's]  Do they all look like that?

  Cpl. King : Yeah, yeah.

  Weaver : Then why are you so different?

  Cpl. King : Sir?

  Weaver : [with growing contempt]  I said, why are you so different?

  Cpl. King : How do you mean, sir?

  Weaver : Why are you dressed properly, and they're all in rags?

  Cpl. King : Well, there's no harm in looking after your clothes, is there, sir?

  Weaver : You're in good shape too, aren't you?

  Cpl. King : Yeah, well, I've been keeping on the ball, sir. No harm in that either, sir, is there?

  Weaver : No, no harm at all. Where's the camp commandant's quarters?

  Cpl. King : Over there, sir, the end bungalow.

  Weaver : Right. I won't forget you, corporal, and I shall certainly see your Major Brough at the earliest opportunity.

  Cpl. King : What do you mean by that, sir?

  Weaver : [walking away in disgust]  You'll figure it out, corporal.

• Cpl. King : Welcome to Changi, sir.

  Weaver : [salutes]  Thank God somebody here's normal. I'm Captain Weaver. I've been sent to look after the camp until the main lot arrives, which could be at any moment now. I began to wonder if there was something wrong with me.

  Cpl. King : Guess most of them are in a state of shock, sir. It's been a long time.

  Weaver : Yes, I suppose it has. Are you... you're not British, are you?

  Cpl. King : No, I'm American, sir. Corporal King. And there are a few of us colonials scattered around.
