Priem : [ordering the rambunctious POWs in the yard and those looking from their cell windows] Unless there is immediate silence, I will give the order to open fire!
[the prisoners keep making noise]
Priem : I warn you I will give the order to open fire!
[the prisoners start singing]
Priem : [even more angrily] I will give the order to open fire.
Harry Tyler : [from his cell window] Fire!
[the guards fire above the prisoners' heads after which there is immediate silence]
Priem : [angrily to his guards after yelling something in German] Who gave the order to open fire?
Colonel Richmond : [quietly to Harry through Harry's cell window] Don't do that Harry. It only aggravates the Germans.
Harry Tyler : [sheepishly] Sorry sir.
