It is the Spring of 1813, and the Emperor has called for his Chief of Staff.
 |
Napoleon: Ah, Berthier, I've made you Prince of Neuchâtel! Look, you get your own battalion. Berthier: But Sire...I haven't led troops since 1778! Napoleon: Don't worry. I've written instructions! |
Berthier can barely decipher the Emperor's appalling handwriting.
 |
| Berthier:..Oh crumbs..er...Companies...Forward, Wheel Right! |
Under the Emperor's watchful eye, Berthier scrambles to correct his mistakes.
 |
| Berthier: No, no, no!..um.. Halt! Face Front! |
 |
 |
| Berthier: MERDE! |
Cambronne is scandalised.
 |
| Cambronne: My word! |
The Emperor has seen enough.
 |
| Napoleon:...Nom de Dieu! |
