-Good evening.
-Good evening, sir.

:05:20
Good evening, sir.
:05:23
Have a cup of your own coffee, York?
:05:25
I"ve been thinking of nothing eIse
for the Iast two hours.

:05:28
-Tough, huh?
-Tough, sir.

:05:33
I haven"t had a cup of coffee
with you...

:05:36
since we rode down
the Shenandoah together.

:05:39
Fifteen years ago, wasn"t it?
:05:41
Fifteen years, two months
and seven days.

:05:49
How did you fare on patroI?
:05:51
Had a running fight
for thirty-odd miIes.

:05:54
We captured Natches, their chief,
eight others...

:05:56
before the Apaches reached the Rio
Grande and crossed into Mexico.

:06:01
Pursuant to orders
I haIted on our side of the river.

:06:06
The men didn"t Iike it very much.
:06:08
Neither did you.
:06:10
And neither do I,
but that"s the poIicy...

:06:12
and soIdiers don"t make poIicy,
they mereIy carry it out.

:06:15
The State Department
couId do something.

:06:17
Oh, yes, they"II write
a sharp note of protest.

:06:21
if you care to read
sharp notes of protest.

:06:24
I"II decIaim them over the graves
of the troopers...

:06:26
who were guarding the waterhoIes.
:06:29
Three of them staked
face-down on anthiIIs.

:06:32
You"ve got the dirtiest job in the army,
there"s no doubt of that, Kirby.

:06:36
I"m not compIaining, sir.
I get paid for it.

:06:39
Maybe you shouId compIain.
I"II Iisten.

:06:43
This coffee isn"t as good
as it used to be.

:06:47
I"II make a note of that.
:06:49
But maybe, someday it"II get
better and stronger.

:06:54
I"II drink to that, sir:
stronger.
