Christine was in her hotel watching the Germans try to clean up the accident, but decided to go into another part of her hotel.
Christine: *Walks to the back of her hotel, and looks in the backyard. She then walks away*
Labiche: *Climbs over the wall, and into the backyard. With his back leg shot, he has to limp to the hotel. He knocks on the door*
Christine: *Looks outside, and opens the door*
Labiche: *Walks in, and leans on a wall*
Christine: No. No, you can't stay here.
Labiche: *Looks at the floor*
Outside of the hotel.
Maurice & Railroad Pony 92: *Blindfolded, and facing a wall*
German Ponies: Fire! *Executing Maurice & Railroad Pony 92*
Colonel Von Waldheim: *After witnessing the executions, he goes toward the wreck of his train* Major!
German Pony 39: *Runs to him*
Colonel Von Waldheim: How soon will the cranes be here?!
German Pony 39: Tonight. Any work that can be done without heavy equipment will be finished before that.
Colonel Von Waldheim: Put more ponies to work! I want this done faster!!
German Pony 39: But Colonel, until the crane can move the engine-
Colonel Von Waldheim: *Stares at the Major*
German Pony 39: Yes Colonel. *Goes to get more ponies to work*
German Pony 69: *Arrives* Sir! No sign of Labiche sir. We searched for hours. There's no sign of him anywhere.
Colonel Von Waldheim: I WANT HIM!
German Pony 69: But Colonel, he could have gone back to Paris.
Colonel Von Waldheim: No. He's around somewhere, I know. With twists, and turns he'll make plans, but he won't leave the train. I'm beginning to know him. Keep looking for him! Search the town!
He was in the wine cellar in Christine's hotel.
Labiche: *Laying on a bed smoking a cigar*
Christine: *Arrives with a tray of food* I brought you some clothes. How's your leg?
Labiche: Much better thank you.
Christine: *Hears German ponies shouting*
Labiche: What's going on out there?
Christine: You should know. Maurice, and an engineer were shot. Another engineer was shot trying to escape.
Labiche: Pesquet.
Christine: *Hears one of her doors open, and goes upstairs with three bottles of wine*
Labiche: *Grabs a knife, in case any Germans are there*
Christine: *Makes it upstairs*
German Pony 930: Labiche! Have you seen him?!
Christine: *Puts the wine bottles on a table* Labiche?
German Pony 930: Yes Labiche!! He was in room 5, and left yesterday!
Christine: Yes, he left yesterday.
German Pony 930: I know that. I know he left yesterday! I am asking if you've SEEN HIM TODAY!!
Christine: Labiche, Labiche. Yes I've seen him! I see him everyday with Hitler. They're in the wine cellar downstairs!
The Germans did not appreciate her sarcasm, and left the hotel.
Labiche: *Puts the knife away*
Christine: *Comes downstairs, and grabs another bottle of wine. She opens it when tears start to come out of her eyes*
Labiche: *Walks towards Christine, and puts a hoof on her shoulder*
Christine: Please. *Moves to the side away from Labiche, and sits down* Why did you come back here? You want everyone killed. You think you're being a hero, maybe you don't care if you live. What right have you to do this? Leave us alone. I knew Maurice all my life. He and his wife, sat with me when my husband was killed. It was the first year of the war, and now i'll sit with her, we know the truth. Stallions will be heroes, while the widows moan.
Labiche: *Sits down in front of her* Perhaps stallions are fools. There were over a hundred involved in stopping that train. Switch ponies, brake ponies, yard masters. Station masters. God knows how many will be shot, like Maurice. You know what's on that train? Paintings.
Christine: *Looks at Labiche*
Labiche: That's right, paintings, art. The national heritage. The pride of France.
Christine: *Looks away*
Labiche: Crazy, isn't it?
Christine: *Has another tear come out of her eye*
Labiche: It's quiet up there. *Stands up*
Christine: Where are you going?
Labiche: Perhaps I can leave now.
Christine: *Gets in front of him* You can't take two steps without being seen. They're looking for you everywhere.
Labiche: My friend who was with me on the train, I have to meet him. He may not even be alive.
Christine: It won't help him if you're killed. Wait until it's dark. Eat your food.
Labiche: *Stands behind Christine*
Christine: *Holds Labiche*
Labiche: *Hugs Christine*
