[At the ruins of the garrison hospital]
Lt. Chard:
Who was left in here?
Lt. Bromhead:
I don't know.
Lt. Chard:
They had names, they had faces, they were our men. What do you mean you don't know?
Lt. Bromhead:
Chard!
Lt. Chard:
All right. Well, you've fought your first action.
Lt. Bromhead:
Does everyone feel like this afterward?
Lt. Chard:
How do you feel?
Lt. Bromhead:
I feel... sick.
Lt. Chard:
Well, you have to be alive to feel sick.
Lt. Bromhead:
You asked me, I told you. There's... something else. I feel ashamed. Was that how it was for you? The first time?
Lt. Chard:
The first time? You think I could stand this butcher's yard more than once?
Lt. Bromhead:
I didn't know.
Lt. Chard:
I told you. I came up here to build a bridge.
