:14:00
Do you object to making money,
Miss Charity?

:14:02
In wartime? I think so.
:14:05
Making money out of war.
It's almost an act of nature.

:14:10
Do you have any idea
what a major's salary is?

:14:14
I wasn't talking about that.
:14:16
What about a colone"s salary?
And the prestige afterward?

:14:20
You'll carry that rank
into every courtroom for life.

:14:24
- I didn't go to war for that.
- No, but you'll use it.

:14:27
Every man, in his own special way,
takes care of number one.

:14:31
I don't admire men like that,
Mr. Kelly.

:14:34
Mrs. Warwick...
:14:36
...if there were a kind of profit
driven right into your own back yard...

:14:40
...would there be any reason not
to take advantage of it?

:14:44
What do you mean by that?
:14:46
I would say it's a matter
of the north pasture.

:14:49
The north...
You're talking in riddles.

:14:53
To you, ma'am?
:14:56
I don't understand.
:15:00
I was curious.
:15:01
When Mrs. Warwick specified the
north pasture, I wanted to know why.

:15:06
The soil, major, is overworked.
:15:08
Dying for the lack of fertilizer.
:15:12
- Well, yes, but I still don't...
- Manure, major.

:15:16
I didn't know you were a farmer.
:15:18
I was raised on a farm.
:15:20
My father's estancia in Texas.
:15:22
Estancia. What a lovely word.
:15:25
So is caridad.
:15:28
Charity.
:15:31
Yes, it was lovely.
:15:32
It was lovely and big.
:15:36
Open.
:15:38
Fifty families lived on it.
:15:40
My father was like a lord.
Like an Irish lord.

:15:44
Yet this virtuous Irish lord...
:15:46
...was not quite able to stop his son
from turning pirate, was he?

:15:52
Make jokes, Steadman, about the war,
about God, and about me.

:15:56
But don't make jokes about my father.
