- I found it. And he.

And an officer on trial.

on board.

910

Do you know the symptoms of the disease? 
(soldier) - Yes, it seems that he is throwing up

911
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,230
and he also has diarrhea. - Queen? 
- Of course. - Who would have thought?

912
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,957

next to the queen, sunny woman

but of mountain origin, 
not very accustomed to sea life.

914
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,955
His Majesty the King slept 
in the cabin next door instead

915
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:21,593

918
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,640
When we arrived in Brindisi, 
her Majesty the queen

919
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,995
he gave me a 
photograph of him with a dedication.

920
01:04:35,600 --> 01:04:39,798
For the first time, I felt proud 
to be leaving animal medicine

921

for the human one.

922
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,434
The promotion to lieutenant colonel 
came to me in Bari

923
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,676
provisional capital of liberated Italy.

924
01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:51,270
The government building was housed in an 
elementary school

925
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:56,076
as if the ministers and rulers had to 
start by learning the alphabet.

926
01:04:56,120 --> 01:05:00,830
I was responsible for the health of all 
members, respectfully speaking, of the government.

927
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,399
(general) Major Leo.

928
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,029
- Lieutenant colonel, general. 
- And since when?

929
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,800
(Leo) - Promoted today. 
- When you promote

930
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:18,000
who should certainly be degraded 
and logical that the plebs shout "down with the king!".

931
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,310
Leo, Leo, you should at least have 
the common sense to sleep gagged.

932
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,590
(Leo) - Gentlemen.

935
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:33,674
(Leo reads) - That was the last time 
I praised his majesty.

936
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:38,395
A few years later, in fact, I swore 
allegiance to the republic without hesitation.

937
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,389
But that same night I dreamed that 
on my knees I asked the queen for forgiveness

938
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,558
and that she kissed me on the mouth 
forgiving me.

939
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,720
What do you think? And it's not finished.

940
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,157
This my work between memory 
and literature

941
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,636
it could be enriched with 
even more burning episodes .

942
01:05:55,560 --> 01:06:00,111
But sometimes I
feel remorse and I say to myself: "Is it right or not right

943
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:05,599
that I reveal the other side. The face that 
we soldiers should always keep hidden

944
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:06,960
from a higher interest? "

945
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,752
But the memories, 
the bitterness burn,

especially when you have suffered an injustice 
and then ...

947
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:17,594
I would like to shoot at zero.
