Black Watch part 10

The Black Watch play that won best performance of the Edinburgh festival 2007.

THE ENDING SCENES ARE NOW UPLOADED - Black Watch part 11 - The Ending

It ends like this. a mortar goes off in the distance.

"we'll be hearing the sound for years to come"
"not me sir"
"no"
"naw"

Then its just the main character left. He says the first line then other guys from the play come out and say the next line.

"Scotland's always had folk that were willing to serve in the army"
"I didne ken what it was eh?"
"we must of been fucking stupid or something"
"WE JUST LOVE FUCKING FIGHTING"
"it's the regimental system. It was perfect"
"you got tae go wi' folk you ken"
"and ye get tae fight"
"that's what we get trained for"
"thats what you join the army tae dae"
"TO FIGHT!"
"not for our government"
"not for Britian"
"no even for Scotland"
"i fought for my regiment"
"i fought for my company"
"i fought for my platoon"
"i fought for my section"
"i fought for my mates"

"Fuckin' shite fight to end wi' though eh?"

The soldiers then stand to attention, and the character 'Macca' plays 'Flowers of the Forest' on the bagpipes as he slowly marches forward to the area where the three soldiers who were killed.

The highest ranking guy - "this may be the last attack for the 1st battalion, the Black Watch. Let us make sure it goes as well as anything we have done in the past...and is one we can be proud of" - Looks at his watch - "5,4,3,2,1 - FORWARD THE 42ND!"

Pipes, Drums and Strings then play and the soldiers march around with the highest ranking soldier standing in the middle with a proud look on his face. The soldiers count out drill moves as the music plays. It sounds great.

Dont just listen to my description though - you can buy the DVD on amazon! - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Watch/dp/B001FTGUAO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dv...

I'm doing this scene for my higher Drama acting exam, and i saw it at the SECC in 2010. What a play, it's completely inspirational and has given me the final push I needed to join the army. Many thanks for posting this and the rest, it's a massive help to me :D

@nacho1560 well i suppose you need to have the same frame of mind as me, then you might understand.

I'd have thought videos like this would surely put anyone off joining the army.
