## Dialogue

    Stanislaus Katczinsky: [commenting on the German advance] Paul, if we keep up this pace, we won't have conquered France for 180 years. I worked it out. [laughs]
    Paul Bäumer: Don't let them catch you, Kat.
    [French cannons bombard the German trenches]
    Tjaden Stackfleet: Creeping barrage.
    Paul Bäumer: What?
    Tjaden Stackfleet: Every couple of minutes, the artillery barrage makes an advance forward. And directly after that, the infantry moves forward.
    Albert Kropp: What does that mean exactly?
    Stanislaus Katczinsky: That they are coming!
    [On Marshal of France Foch's private train, Matthias Erzberger is attempting to secure an armistice; Erzberger and Foch speak in German and French respectively, so two junior officers translate to Erzberger and Foch]
    Matthias Erzberger: I stand before you, in the hope that you will take our presence here today as an opportunity to take action to suspend all hostilities. In the name of humanity, I am asking you for an agreement to an immediate cease-fire for the entire duration of our negotiating time to in order to spare our nation's unnecessary depletion. Matthias Erzberger, head of the German delegation.
    [Marshal Foch stares coldly at the German delegation in silence, then addresses General Maxime Weygand]
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: Weygand, que veulent ces monsieur? (Weygand, what do these men want?)
    General Maxime Weygand: Je ne sais pas. (I don't know.)
    German Translator: Marshal Foch asks what brings you gentlemen to him.
    Mattias Erzberger: We are here looking forward to your proposal for an enduring cease-fire that will include all those on the water, on land, as well as those in the sky.
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: N'ai aucune monsieur proposition de ce genre à faire. (I have no proposal of this kind to make.)
    German Translator: Ich habe ihn keine vorschläge zu machen. (I have no proposal to make to him.)
    Mattias Erzberger: What does he mean by that?
    German Translator: I think he disliked the phrasing of what you said.
    Mattias Erzberger: Yes. Good. Then...
    German Translator: Monsieur le Maréchal, si vous permittez, on aimerais connaître les conditions- (Marshal, if you please, we would like to know the conditions-
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: [angrily cuts him off] Ne pas condition! Si vous voulez un armistice, déclarez! (No conditions! If you want an armistice, declare it!)
    Major General Winterfeldt: He wants you to ask him formally.
    Matthias Erzberger: Monsieur le Maréchal, I am asking you for an armistice.
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: [after handing the document of armistice to Matthias] You have 72 hours to accept our conditions. They are non-negotiable.
    Matthias Erzberger: Seventy-two hours?
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: The war will continue until you sign them.
    Matthias Erzberger: Monsieur le Maréchal, in God's name, don't let 72 hours pass us by here. Thousands of lives depend on it.
    Marshal Ferdinand Foch: [Stands up, holding a pen out to Matthias] Sign then!
    Paul Bäumer: I'm afraid of what's about to come.
    Stanislaus Katczinsky: Don't be.
