:34:00
Why does she get a reward
for stabbing me?
:34:04
There are so many times
she simply cannot be compelled.
:34:09
Yes.
:34:11
I'm the same way myself.
:34:16
Good night.
:34:47
(James) Shouldn't we give
the devil his due, Father?
:34:50
We lost the South two years earlier
when he outthought us behind Vicksburg.
:34:54
Outthought is a peculiar word
for a butcher.
:34:56
- Harness-maker, wasn't he?
- I said butcher.
:34:59
His strength as a soldier was numbers.
He led them to slaughter like sheep.
:35:03
- But even if he was a butcher...
- And a drunk, half the war.
:35:07
Agreed, Father.
If his own people said he was...
:35:10
What is it you find to admire
in such a man, Jimmy?
:35:13
- The drunkenness or the butchery?
- Neither, Father. Only that he beat us.
:35:17
- He didn't.
- Are you saying we won the war, sir?
:35:20
He didn't beat us at Vicksburg.
We lost it by stupidity vergin' on treason.
:35:24
(James) We lost it because Grant was
one thing no Yankee general was before...
:35:29
Drunk? I doubt it.
:35:30
- Obstinate.
- Obstinate?
:35:32
None of 'em compare with old Stonewall.
If he was there we'd still have Vicksburg.
:35:36
(James) The butcher wouldn't give up.
He tried four ways...
:35:40
(Captain) If we'd had
a Southerner in command
:35:42
instead of a half-breed Yankee traitor
like Pemberton... What's the matter?
:35:47
Miss Annie, she's accustomed
to helping herself from our plates.
:35:51
- I'm not accustomed to it.
- Of course not. Viney!
:35:55
- Jimmy, give her something.
- Her table manners are her best.
:35:58
Let her this time. It's the only way
we get any adult conversation.
