1. We can get that done today.
No sir, we can't. I don't think thats correct. It usually takes three days, sir.
2. You will need five men.
No, I need seven men, sir. The general said I'll need seven. Actually, can I have seven men?
3. You will be completely safe.
Well, Private Jones was injured doing that last week. Not completely safe - there are risks. I'm afraid I can't agree - we are taking a risk.
4. No-one will see you.
We are not invisible, sir. How can we hide, sir? They will see us, I am afraid.
5. You are certain to succeed.
Yes, let's be optimistic. Why are you so sure? I hope you are right.
6. We have thought of everything.
Well, here's something you forgot. Are you completely sure? Um, yes, but there is this small problem ...
1. This area is very dangerous.
Is that what you think? Really, sir? Of course it is, sir.
2. Well, it all looks very simple to me.
Well, it's not simple to me. Perhaps you could explain? Actually, it's rather complicated, sir.
3. We'll go that way.
Well, we can't. That's impossible. I'm afraid we can't.
4. I'll be back in an hour.
Well, you are going a long way, sir. Sorry, but it's too far for that. No, sir. That's impossible.
5. I'm going to attack!
Are you mad? Do you want to die, sir? Is that a good idea, sir?
6. H'mm. Maybe it's not a good idea.
That's your opinion. I'm sure you are right. Of course it's not, sir.
7. We don't have enough men.
I think you are right. Not nearly enough men. Of course we don't.
8. Do you agree with me Sergeant?
Yes, sir, but ... No sir, because ... I can't, sir ...
