The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas Chapter13
Storyboard Text
- I'm sorry I'm late. I was talking to Maria.
- Who's Maria?
- Yes. Do you know him? He's very old and has a white jacket that he wears when he's serving dinner. You've probably seen him.
- On my side?
- She's our maid. She's very nice although Father says she's overpaid. But she was telling me about this man Pavel who chops our vegetables for us and waits on table. I think he lives on your side of the fence
- No. I don't know him
- I don't think you realize just how many people live on this side of the fence. There are thousands of us
- But this one's name is Pavel. When I fell off my swing he cleaned out the cut so it didn't get infected and put a bandage on my legs. Anyway, the reason I wanted to tell you about him is because he's from Poland too. Like you.
- But you must. He's not as tall as some adults and he has grey hair and stoops over a little.
- Most of us here are from Poland. Although there are some from other places too, like Czechoslovakia and -
- Yes, but that's why I thought you might know him. Anyway, he was a doctor in his home town before he came here but he's not allowed to be a doctor anymore and if Father had known that he had cleaned my knee when I hurt myself then there would have been trouble.
- Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
- The soldiers don't normally like people getting better. It usually works the other way round.
- Yes. I want to work in a zoo. I like animals.
- I'm going to be a soldier. Like Father.
- I don't mean one like Lieutenant Kotler. Not one who strides around as if he owns the place and laughs with your sister and whisper with your mother. I don't think he's a good soldier at all. I mean one like father. One of the good soldiers.
- Well, Father, for one. That's why he has such an impressive uniform and why everyone calls him Commandant and does whatever he says. The Fury has big things in mind for him because he's such a good soldier.
- I wouldn't like to be a soldier.
- There aren't any good soldiers.
