& Eric:
At the beginning of time
the clock struck one.
A drop of dew
and the clock struck two.
From the dew grew a tree
and the clock struck three.
Then the tree made a door
and the clock struck four.
Then man came alive
and the clock struck five.
Count not
waste not
the hours on the clock.
Behold I stand at the door and knock.
& Eric: Don’t move.
Patti: Why not?
Eric: Because I’m looking at you.
& Patti: I’ve never kissed a man with a moustache before.
Eric: Hmm...
Patti: And I don’t think I’m going to kiss a man with a moustache again.
Eric: Hmm... And if the man removed the moustache?
Patti: .... Yes, that would do nicely.
& Eric: Well you see, the British... they thought about building a railway that would run all the way from where we are here in Thailand into Burma. It would complete a line running all the way from China to India. If they’d managed it, it would have taken it’s place alongside the great railway journeys of the world. Canadian Pacific. Trans-Siberian. The Orient Express.
Finlay: Yeah? Well why didn’t they build it?
Eric: Well... building a railway, is a hard, miserable job. It’s usually done by poor immigrant workers. The great American railways were built by Chinese peasants. And even the British railways, they were built by Irish navvies fleeing from famine. But sometimes, a railway is simply too difficult to build. Well it’s hundred of Miles to Burma... through mountains and jungle. The British decided, that to build such a railway, it would be an act not of engineering, but of extreme barbarity... and cruelty. The conditions would be such that... those who did not die, might well wish that they had. To build such a railway you would need more than just poor immigrants. You’d need an army... of slaves. And we’ve just become that army.
& Eric: What do you tell people? About what you did to us?
Nagase: We do not talk about it. No one will talk about it.
Eric: Nor do we. And you know why? Because no one would believe it. No one would believe what you did to us.
& Eric: Sometime the hating has to stop.
