They get to a river, but their raft has a large hole in it. In the war-torn field, there is nothing to fix the boat, so they decide to mend it with the bodies of the prisoners. In a moment of mercy, the army general decides to allow the prisoners to kill themselves with whatever method they choose. An array of weapons is presented. The Englishman takes a gun, says ""Long live the Queen!"" and shoots himself in the head. The Frenchman takes a knife, says ""Viva Le France!"" and cuts his own throat. The American takes a pitchfork, starts stabbing himself, and yells ""Good luck making your boat now, bitches!""
