Not to rush poita's recuperation (because I’m sure he selected the officers’ ward) …
from The Bridge On The River Kwai:
‘Major’ Shears: " When the Houston sunk, I made it ashore with a real commander. Later on, we ran into a Japanese patrol. He was killed. I figured it was just a matter of time before I was captured." Major Warden: “So you changed uniforms with a dead man.” ‘Major’ Shears: " I thought officers would get better treatment. … I kind of got used to being a commander, so when I arrived here at the hospital I took a look at the enlisted men’s ward and then the officers’ ward and I said to myself, ‘Let’s let it ride along for a while’. There were certain advantages. I saw one of them [a nurse sun-bathing] on the beach."
… but he was going put up a whole new guide for the upgraded film scanner?
| That is, if we can tear him away from the beach? |  |
