Choking on a Cherry

The Case for Singing Soldier:
Having traveled continuously overnight to get a warning to the Second Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment not to rush into a trap, Lance Corporal Will Schofield (George McKay) finally reaches his goal and experiences a rare moment of peace in his journey.  As a soldier sings before his company is set to attack, Will sits and listens, exhausted.

The Case for Choking on a Cherry:
Zorg (Gary Oldman), having just given a speech on how his destruction brings about life, starts to choke on a cherry.  Cornelius (Ian Holm) saves his life - but not without giving him a lesson about how little power he actually has.
