Sgt. Triand:
[El Krim's mounted tribesmen are growing in number and coming dangerously close to the Legionnaires holed up in the compound. Major Foster seems indecisive]
Please, sir, the orders?... The men are waiting for your orders.
Maj. William Sherman Foster:
[Showing signs of disorientation, with WWI flashback]

Sgt. Triand:
[Impassively]

Sgt. Triand:
[Calmly reminding Foster that the men were building the wall that Major Foster himself had ordered built a few days earlier]
The men were building a wall for protection, sir.
Maj. William Sherman Foster:
[Bursting with agitation]
