Paths of Glory1957

Dax:
Why didn't you leave the trenches?

Paris:
Major Vignon was shot, and he fell back on top of me, sir, and knocked me cold.

Dax:
And were you lying unconscious in the trenches during the entire attack?

Paris:
Yes, sir.

Judge:
Have you any witnesses to that?

Paris:
No, sir. I guess everybody was too busy to notice me. There were so many others lying dead anyway.

Judge:
But you have no witnesses?

Paris:
No, sir. I only have a rather large cut on my head, sir.

Judge:
That could have been self-inflicted later.
