:08:01
Mr. Burgess, Mr. Warren.
:08:03
- Mr. Weatherby, Mr. Warren.
- Glad to know you.
:08:05
Be seated.
:08:14
I tell you, the South had a better Army.
:08:16
We rode better, we fought better,
we were led by better men.
:08:19
And so we were defeated.
:08:21
Defeat. Fellow once said, "What is defeat?"
You go home.
:08:24
- War is terrible.
- Not always, Miss Ballard.
:08:27
When a man's dead, he don't worry
about the colour of his uniform.
:08:31
I still say
the war could have been prevented.
:08:34
- How?
- By peaceful means.
:08:37
Negotiation, compromise, reason.
:08:40
If you stay out in the West, you're going to
find you can't negotiate with a bowie knife...
:08:44
or reason with a six-shooter.
:08:46
I seen Gettysburg.
:08:47
Two years later,
you could still smell the blood.
:08:50
And I saw Richmond
after they burned it to the ground.
:08:53
I've seen enough
and I've had enough of killing.
:08:56
I'm sick of violence and force.
:08:59
I learned one thing:
bullets are very democratic.
:09:02
They kill good men as well as bad.
I'd like to try the other way.
:09:05
Try it. But I fought your war, too,
and I saw a world die: my world.
:09:10
And what destroyed it? Force, Mr. Warren.
:09:14
The war is over.
We can't go on thinking about it forever.
:09:18
I've forgotten it.
I'm interested only in the future...
:09:22
because that's where we're going to spend
the rest of our lives.
:09:25
I spent five years
fighting somebody else's quarrel.
:09:28
Now I don't quarrel with anyone.
:09:31
By not carrying a gun?
Is that how you do it?
:09:33
By staying in my own back yard...
:09:35
which, in this case, happens to be
1,200 acres of good California land.
:09:40
Twelve hundred acres.
:09:41
You can stand on the front porch
and see straight ahead for three days.
:09:45
The ocean's the west boundary
and the river's the east boundary.
:09:49
For me, that's the whole world.
:09:51
And what happens on the other side
of the river is no concern of yours?
:09:55
That's right.
:09:59
Mr. Warren, would you mind
if I danced with the bride-to-be?
