La Grande Illusion1937

Capt. de Boeldieu:
May I ask you a question?

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
Of course.

Capt. de Boeldieu:
Why did you make an exception of me by inviting me here?

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
Because your name is Boeldieu, career officer in the French Army. And I am Rauffenstein, career officer in the Imperial German Army.

Capt. de Boeldieu:
But my comrades are officers as well.

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
A 'Mar?chal' and 'Rosenthal,' officers?

Capt. de Boeldieu:
They're fine soldiers.

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
Charming legacy of the French Revolution.

Capt. de Boeldieu:
Neither you nor I can stop the march of time.

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
Boldieu, I don't know who will win this war, but whatever the outcome, it will mean the end of the Rauffensteins and the Boeldieus.

Capt. de Boeldieu:
We're no longer needed.

Capt. von Rauffenstein:
Isn't that a pity?

Capt. de Boeldieu:
Perhaps.
