: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.
:36:02
- I'll get another plate.
- I have one, thank you.
:36:04
Viney! What Cap'n Keller says is only
too true. She'll persist in this till...
:36:09
- I have a plate. I intend to keep it.
- You see why they took Vicksburg?
:36:13
A plate is no matter
to struggle with a deprived child about.
:36:16
- I'd sooner have a more heroic issue.
- I really must insist...
:36:20
- She's hurt herself.
- She hasn't.
:36:22
- Will you please let her hands go?
- You don't know her well enough...
:36:26
I know a tantrum when I see one
and a badly spoiled child.
:36:29
Hear, hear.
:36:30
You'd have more understanding
if you had some pity.
:36:33
Pity? For this tyrant?
The whole house turns on her whims.
:36:36
Is there anything she doesn't get?
:36:38
What I pity is that the sun won't rise and
set for her, and you're telling her it will.
:36:43
What good will your pity do
when you're gone?
:36:46
- Kate, for the love of heaven...
- I don't think it serves...
:36:49
Serves you good. It's less trouble
to feel sorry than to teach her anything...
:36:53
You haven't taught her anything yet.
:36:55
- I'll begin now if you leave the room.
- Leave?
:36:58
- Everyone, please!
- You are a paid teacher, nothing more.
